Sabrina looked around herself, completely shocked. The street she was standing in was filled with stressed out people, walking around everywhere. It had been ages since she had been in a street with so many people. She knew where she was, but she had only been there super early in the morning, or extremely late.

She looked up at Roxie. "This is amazing," she said softly, looking around the street again.

Roxie grinned down at Sabrina as they apparated into Hauptstraße. "It is, isn't it?" she agreed, surveying where exactly they were on the street. Of course, she thought to herself when she spied one of her Top-3 ranking hat shops across the street.

"This way," she said, turning on her heel and beckoning Sabrina to follow her. "When was the last time you had a proper bath?"

The first thing Roxie wanted to do with her new pupil was get her properly groomed and fitted out at one of the best stylist's she knew.

Sabrina looked at Roxie with a big smile, nodding cheerfully. It was most amazing. Everywhere she looked, she saw something new. People were walking around in the weirdest kinds of clothes, and many of them turned to get a better look at Roxie. Sabrina wondered if she might be famous or something of the like.

She followed the woman to a shop that looked very fancy with big hats on the stand. And it also looked very expensive. She felt a bit of reluctance when she walked into the room with Roxie, having the feeling that even after working several years in one shop, you wouldn't be able to buy a dress at this place.

Sabrina though of Roxie's question. "With hot water you mean? When I was six," Sabrina said slowly, realising just how long it had been.

Roxie smiled at the kid. She was starting to grow just the slightest bit fond of the creature, and she'd only just met her. As they walked, she ignored the stares she received - it's not everyday the headmistress of Germany's most famous magic school casually strolls down the main street with an eleven year old in tow.

Finally they arrived at the stylist's shop. Roxie walked in confidently and immediately there was a shop attendant by her side, eager to serve.

Roxie gave a Sabrina a long, hard, scrutinizing look as she said how long it had been since she'd had a proper bath. Snapping out of it, she clicked her fingers and three attendants came running. "This is more dire a situation than I thought. You," she pointed to the closest attendant, a pretty young brunette with bulging grey eyes, "Organise for the girl to have an entire pampering, spa session. She needs it. Everyone else, come with me we have some things to arrange."

Roxie smiled sweetly as Sabrina was whisked out the back. "Don't worry!" she called, "You'll enjoy it!"

Sabrina looked as Roxie was welcomed by some professional looking people, and then felt very inspected when their eyes turned on her. She also felt dirty, even though she washed herself every day in the cleanest waters she could find in the middle of nowhere. She didn't want Roxie to think that she was in dire need of some special soap treatment, but she guessed she kind of was. The only thing good about living in the wild for so long was that her immune system was sky high. She could fight of a thousand diseases in a day that most people would have for weeks, and she never had colds.

When Roxie turned to walk away, Sabrina suddenly felt very alone. She felt like the day her parents had left her alone with that doctor who had proven himself to become Sabrina's worst nightmare. She felt scared, but she bit it down when Roxie yelled that it would be perfectly all right.

"Okay," Sabrina managed before she was ushered into a very pretty room.

Ten minutes later, she was sitting in a hot bathtub, being scrubbed by magic from head to toe in the most comfortable way she could have ever imagined. She smiled softly as the brush steered by magic reached the sole of her foot. It tickled, but not so bad that she had to retract her foot. It was slightly comfortable that too.

When the bath was done, she was dried by a spell and a bathrobe was thrown around her and she was put in a spinning chair, while people started working on her face and pores. She wondered what they'd be doing, and then realized that she really didn't want to know when they started inspecting her nostrils.

While they were working on her face, they asked her questions like 'does that hurt' and 'are you okay'. She always said no to the first and yes to the second, because she'd never felt anything that felt so good but painful at the same time. And considering how much pain she had had to endure during the experiment, this was nothing.

She then started wondering where Roxie was as they put some kind of mask on her and a vegetable she couldn't see over her eyes.

Roxie smiled as Sabrina was whisked off in to the room she knew so very well. Turning back to her helpers, she clapped her hands. "Right then. We need to get that girl some clothes, decent ones any way. Now I don't want anything too fancy, judging by what I've seen of her already fancy is not really her thing," Roxie called out as she made her way over to the clothes room. "I just want you to pick out some small outfit samples for when she gets out of there." She stressed the word 'samples'.

Roxie watched happily as all three of them scampered off to different corners of the store, while she stayed at the rack she was near and started rummaging through it. She picked out a few different items and threw them onto the table where the pile of clothes was growing for her student to try on.

Getting bored of finding clothes, Roxie decided to check on Sabrina. Poking her head around the door, she smiled as she saw the dark haired girl with a green mask on her face and cucumbers over her eyes. Roxie sauntered over casually and knelt next to her. "How are you going? Liking the pampering?"

Sabrina felt something moving next to her, and realised that it was Roxie. The woman spokes to her, asking how she was doing. And considering how relaxed and good Sabrina felt at that moment, she was doing very well.

"I'm okay. It feels really good," she said with a soft smile.

A woman then started peeling off the mask, taking off what she then saw we're cocumbers. She then made a gesture with a smile, saying she was done now. Sabrina took off the towel around her head and smiled to Roxie, ready for the next thing to happen, without even thinking about how her hair looked, which was very bushy. The woman behind her stopped her before she could go and smiled. "We need to comb that hair," she said.

Sabrina bit her lip and nodded. The woman started combing her hair, and when she was done, Sabrina smiled to Roxie.

"Where now?" she asked softly.

She still felt a bit queasy thinking about how much this had to cost. She hoped it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. But she was so overwhelmed by all of this that it easily slipped to the back of her head.

Roxie grinned. "Told you," she said. "Feels good to be properly clean, huh?" She smiled softly as the lady took the mask off and combed Sabrina's hair. Sabrina really was starting to shine. Roxie thought she was prettier, and it was proving her quite right because under that layer of dirt was a very innocent young girl.

"Ah," Roxie said. "Now here comes the fun part." A devilish grin crossed her face and she led Sabrina out into the main area. She pointed out the tables and one rack with hanging clothes on it. There was all sorts of bright colours, dull colours, frilly things, plain things, dresses, shirts, shorts and skirts - it was anyone's great desire. She'd also ordered in three fresh sets of school robes for Sabrina.

"Go on, take your pick." Roxie hadn't missed the faces Sabrina was pulling, she was probably thinking about how much all of this was costing. It was really no dent in Roxie's funds, but that would be a lot of money to a schoolgirl like Sabrina.

Sabrina nodded. She had to admit it felt seriously good. She couldn't really explain the feeling, but it was as though her every pore had been cleansed and she just felt so wonderful, as it she could fit in anywhere. She was one of the humans in the streets. She belonged with them. She wasn't a freak of nature anymore.

"It feels very good," she admitted.

She then followed Roxie out of the room with a slight frown. The difficult part? Sabrina hoped it wasn't as bad as it sounded. She was then standing in front of a gazillion types of clothes in all shapes and colors. She blinked and looked shocked at Roxie. Her eyes widened considerably when Roxie said she could pick and choose. She looked to the stack, and pretty much imagined herself throwing herself into what looked like a pool of clothes that she could swim in.

She walked tenderly over to the clothes and then started carefully picking up different stuff, examining them. She ended up with a whole stack of things and she felt so happy at that moment. Then she saw it. It was a green jumpsuit, except it had straps and were shorts instead of complete trousers. The green looked so beautiful, and Sabrina walked over to it, lifting it slightly. It was beautiful. She quickly added that to the stack of clothes, and then realized how big the stack was. She looked at Roxie.

"Ehm, if it's too much, I can put much of it back," she said lowly, feeling a tad ashamed.

Roxie was full to the brim with enjoyment watching Sabrina go clothes shopping for probably the first time. All the things she picked looked quite fashionable and seemed like they were the sort of thing an eleven year old girl would pick, especially one like Sabrina. But then she lifted up a nice green jumpsuit, and Roxie grinned. She remembered chucking that onto the pile.

Roxie bit her lip as she looked at the pile. It was growing quite big now, which made her happy. "Oh, what? No, it's fine Sabrina! You can get anything you want today. Just this once," Roxie told her, a small smile on her lips. "This is the entire reason; I've got plenty of money, it's almost too much for just myself. Dishing out a little on you won't make any difference."

"You should try them on, first," she told her, gesturing with a nod towards the pile. "See if you like them on you, rather than just on the rack."

Sabrina looked at the clothes and then back at Roxie. She guessed th woman was very rich. She looked really fashionable. Sabrina took a deep breath and then nodded softly. She was really grateful.

"All right," she said softly.

She then felt a smile spread on her lips. She really wanted to try on those new clothes. She walked over to the stack, and decided to try on the green dress last. It really was cute. So she started with the shirts and then moved on, and figured there were some clothes that looked positively dreadful on, so by the end, she had thrown away half of the clothes she had picked up in the first place. She presented the clothes she thought was finest to Roxie, hoping she liked them too. She then took the green dress and tried it on, a smile on her face when she saw it fitting very well. She walked to Roxie with it.

"What do you think?" she asked happily.

Roxie watched with a half-smile as Sabrina sorted through the clothes, deciding to chuck about half of them into the not-to-keep pile. She noticed that the girl had very sensible taste in her clothes, and that brought a wave of relief to Roxie. At least Sabrina wasn't trying to wear skimpy little club dresses, that she would not buy for her.

When Sabrina came out wearing the green dress, Roxie couldn't help but grin brightly. It certainly did look very nice on her. "I think that is my favourite of the lot," she answered.

"Got everything? Oh, did you want a pair of shoes or two as well?" Roxie asked, motioning to the far end of the store that was lined with shoe boxes.

Sabrina beamed at Roxie. She was glad the woman liked the green dress. It was her favorite as well. She then looked down at her bare feet. She tilted her head thoughtfully to the side. She looked over at the other shoes in the window and walked over to them, trying some of them on. But she didn't really want shoes. There were probably some shoes required for the uniform, but she didn't want to wear shoes other than that. But some people might think her weird. Normally, she wouldn't care. But a pair of those nice white ones that bent as if they were made of cloth, she could deal with. Converse. That's what stood on the side. All Star Converse. She walked back to Roxie.

"I don't really wear shoes, but I think it would be good with one pair, so maybe these?" she asked softly, hoping they weren't too expensive, even after Roxie had said that spending some money on her wouldn't make a difference.

Roxie nodded and motioned for the staff to get Sabrina a box of white Converses. "Sure can do," she said. Roxie bent down and patted Sabrina's head. "It's okay, you know. It's really nothing. Don't worry about it!"

She was starting to get less amused by Sabrina's conversationalist ways, but Roxie guessed that living on your own for Merlin knows how long would put that effect on you.

"Right. Is that it? Good. I'll go pay, and then we can go get your school stuff." Roxie floated a lumpy bag over to the counter, along with an order to deliver them to her address that day. She told Sabrina to keep the dress on and put on the shoes, and then they left the store, moving down the street to another store.

Sabrina gave a big smile. "Thank you," she said happily.

She was beyond thrilled by the new things she had gotten. No one had really ever bought her anything, so this day was one heck of an improvement. She was pleased when Roxie told her to keep the dress on, and she quickly put on the shoes. She gave a look in the mirror and felt as happy as never before, and followed Roxie out of the store, wondering curiously how the stuff would be sent already that day, figuring magic would be a great part of it.

"So, how is it like to be a highmistress? Does it ever get boring?" she asked the woman, pretty curious about the 'real world'. She had only know the forests and animals, she didn't know the big cities and places.

Roxie's eyes crinkled into a smile as she returned the huge one Sabrina gave her. It was more than she could ask for, this girl was so grateful for even breathing. This was the kind of kid Roxie liked.

They walked down the street and around a corner, into a bookshop. "Oh, I don't know really. I guess it's really fun," Roxie said, thinking about the power play she held in her grasp. "I get to control a lot of things, and I meet some interesting people. But then again, some people just annoy me to no end," she concluded shaking her head.

A clerk came towards them, a smile plastered on their face. "Welcome to Die Bibliothek, how may I be of service?" she asked warmly.

Roxie nodded at her, directing her to get one set of standard Durmstrang school books. Roxie then pointed to the vast arrays of shelves around them. "Do you like to read? Go have a browse, see if anything interests you. I need to pick up a special edition Hat magazine so I might be a little while."

Sabrina understood that it could all be pretty annoying. She was glad she didn't have a leader job, even though, with a world like the one they lived in, she was pretty sure she could make a difference. She then looked around herself. It was huge. Books everywhere. She smiled slightly. She had been in this shop before, stealing books that would learn her magic. The clerk got all the needed books and Sabrina turned to Roxie.

"I'll keep myself occupied," she said with a shrug, waving at Roxie when she went.

Sabrina actually hated books. She couldn't read properly, and they were always so dull. But she wandered around either way just to look around. And then something caught her eye. A book about a huge, scaled creature, bursting flames. A dragon. Sabrina had to smile and practically ran over to it. She loved dragons. The thought of them always calmed her, and was her medicine during the experiments placed on her. She knew every dragon type in the world. She went through the book a gazillion times, not tiring of it in the slightest.

Roxie thanked the clerks for finally getting her book for her and, tucking the brown paper parcel under her arm, she went to find Sabrina. Roxie climbed the winding, spiral staircase and found the girl reading a thick book on, by the looks of it, dragons. "You like dragons, huh?" She said as she drew nearer. "Would you like me to get it for you?" Roxie motioned towards the book.

Sabrina looked shocked up when Roxie suddenly came up behind her. She then turned around and shut the book. Sabrina sighed and looked at the book. Truth was she had been through it a bunch of times already, but she just didn't grow tired of it. She loved the pictures of the dragons; they were so magical. And she didn't want to ask Roxie if she could buy it without being too much trouble, because it seemed the woman wasn't very happy about being asked such things. Maybe because she was so rich that it didn't matter if she bought a book or a whole bookshelf, maybe even a bookshop.

"I- um... Yes please," she said softly.
