Alicia hurried off to Hogsmeade after getting directions to a shop that was conveniently owned by Neon himself. It was no surprise to her because she heard that a certain place named Neon's Newspapers and Such (his shop) was growing in popularity in Hogsmeade. She hustled as fast as she could down the trial towards the cheery music and bustling town of Hogsmeade. After arriving she searched for Neon's shop in a hurry. Alicia found it pretty quickly in a cute little part of town that wasn't as busy. She threw open the door gasping. Alicia was greeted by a little old house elf at the door. "I came here to find Neon," She said to the elf, looking around the small shop that was packed with newspapers for him. "Well I am him!" The house elf responded. "Nalpey's nick name be Neon but you can call Nalpey regular old Nalpey, miss!" "Nice to meet you Nalpey. I can here to talk with you about your old friend back when you were in Hogwarts. Her name was Idona?" Alicia asked. Nalpey nodded grimly. "I remember old Ida. Nalpey an' her were the best of friends. How foolish Nalpey was," The elf guided Alicia to a cute little table behind the counter were two chairs were placed near it. "Nalpey knew she was messin' with that awful dark magic, miss. Nalpey knew! Nalpey just didn't do nothing about it, miss," Nalpey started to cry into his shirt. Alicia patted him on the back. "It's okay. I want to know if there was anyone else in Idona's life that was important to her," She said. "Well, there was one...," He replied. "Her brother, Fitz. He was so special to her. Poor thing picked up a deadly disease and didn't live. You should have seen Idona, miss. She was....devastated." Alicia slowly nodded. She felt sorry that Idona had to lose her brother. "Thanks for giving me more info on Idona, Nalpey. I have to go," She said, getting up to leave. Nalpey nodded and escorted her to the door. "Remeber, miss. Idona is very danerous. Do not set her free!" He said, waving. Alicia nodded and headed back down the trail to Hogwarts.
