Flourish and Blotts was a beautiful gold stoned building, there was the main floor which was level with Diagon Alley’s walking path, it was a spacious room which had walls lined with the best selling books of the year, all shelves and walls made of the gold stones from the outside. Then towards the back, just shy of being the centre of the room was the counter which was slightly curved at the ends and made of solid obsidian and designed to look worn, old and slightly melted. The base floor normally had anywhere between six to ten massive crates, also made of obsidian. Every crate came up to an average man's waist and each would contain different books, varying from specials that were happening, extra or old stock, and second hand books. On the left side of the store, were slanted obsidian stairs that lead to the smaller sized second floor, which was a permanent mezzanine floor. It was basically an indoor balcony which overlooked the lower floor, and the walls followed the downstairs design of being covered end to end in books.
