Don't I know you? (Timothy)

[Professor Carina Erikson]

Carina sighed just a little as she finally saw the door to the apothecary. It was about time. She had finally had made it back to work nearly a week after she had found herself in the park with no memory what so ever. Her job and name were only known because of items found in her bag when she had come to. But apparently, her being gone did not stop the school or someone there from using her stores.

She had found, thankfully, that despite her memory being long gone that potions were apparently considered a skill and therefor something she could remember. Good for that because she thought that if she hadn't had the potions to work on, she would have gone crazy just sitting around trying to remember something.

Cuts and bruises still marred her face and body, just now beginning to heal. Carina felt better than she looked at the moment, which was good since she looked like hell. At least the tellers at Gringotts had been trained well ehough not to stare at her. She had gone by to check to see if she had an account. Finding that she had a personal account and a family vault that was all hers had been a plesant surprise.

So, with her pockets filled with money, Carina crossed the street and pushed through the door to the shop. As soon as she entered, Carina closed her eyes and smiled. There was a scent in the store that was so familiar and welcoming. Even though Carina's mind didn't remember it her body apparently did as the smile grew wider and warmth spread through her body. It seemed all stores like this had their own scent, she just wasn't sure what it was about this one.

With a grin still on her face, Carina pulled her extensive list from the back pocket of her jeans and began to shop.

[Timothy Linn]

<sup>While he thought being a professor at Hogwarts would be the career he intended for the rest of his life, teaching passionately about Herbology; that long lived dream ended when everything within his grasp started to disappear. It began with a few students and a professor and then the numbers increased. Carina added to the list and that was the last straw for Timothy. Even though some professors continued with their jobs at the school, Timothy finally decided to end his stay there and find something more suitable for his skills. Also the memories he spent inside those castle walls with her were too painful. Eventually he came across The Apothecary that was trying to find a new owner since the previous was too old that his memory began to fade. Timothy took over for the man, gaining trust that he would keep the store open and filled with various ingredients to distribute for customers' needs. Also Timothy could bring in more exotic ingredients since he had connections all over the world.

He was in the back doing some inventory. Though most of the shelves were already refilled since the morning, he expected more customers coming in and out through the day. The hospital even made daily visits for some ingredients that were rare to get and needed them on demand. Recently there was a stir in the hospital, a lot of patients with similar conditions of loss memory along with mangled bodies that needed a lot of tending to. Though Timothy wasn't good with looking at blood and anything grotesque, he knew of ingredients that could do a quick and painless job for cures and mendings. Checking off a few items, he was aware that another customer had entered. "I'll be right with you. Take your time and have a look around," he called out from the back to the customer. Timothy made sure to finish up the rest of his work in the back before he went to the front to check out if his customer found anything he or she needed or if they needed some assistance.

Once he went to the front of the store, he rechecked the shelves and straightened some of the name titles and jars. At least a third of his ingredients were still alive, creeping and crawling around, slithering and sputtering in their jars, or hissing and squeaking. It's amazing how much he could fit in the store, but there were many aisles including a top floor too. The top floor contained more of his herbal ingredients and pickled items. Moving between aisles he found his customer, glancing at her from behind. She looked very familiar and he wanted to reach out and turn her around so that they could face each other, but he knew that would be rude and could possibly get slapped for it. But from behind she looks so much like Carina. "Ahem. If there is anything I can help you with, just ask. I'll be around," he mentioned to the woman kindly.</sup>
