Hermione was unsurprised to find herself standing in Madam Malkin's front parlor. She was surprised however at seeing Madam Malkin herself bustle into the room, she was as old as Hermione's great grandmother would have been had she still been alive. "Narcissa! How wonderful to see you dear." She greeted Narcissa with a familiar hug, then turned to Hermione, "ah, Dr. Granger! I wasn't expecting you!" Hermione shook the old woman's hand, "It's lovely to see you again, madam malkin." She said. It had been three years since she'd been to the shop for her medical robes and madam Malkin had brought on a couple other robe makers as the outfit was growing to be more than she could handle on her own.
