Name of Owner: @van
Name of Shop: Defiance Records
Kind of Shop:* Recording Studio
Location: In the Garage of Van's House (Board within a board thing?)
Description of Shop: Attached to the Parkinson home is a large garage which has been fully converted into a recording studio. There is a separate entrance outside for people to come and go. Once inside the studio there is a very open space with couches, instruments on the walls, and a large mixing station. On the opposite side of the station is a large glass window to which people can see into the sound booth. The entire area has been charmed for sound proofing, especially the recording booth. The booth itself is quite large and capable of holding up to six musicians at a time. On either side of the booth are doors. One leads to a small office with two sets of desks for the owners and on the other side is the door to the restroom. Feel free to write something inappropriate on the walls, as it seems everyone has started to anyway!

Description of Shop: This shop oozes charm with a fitting little shop bay window filled with all kinds of treats. The exterior is a whitewashed brick with a glass door that includes the name on the front and a bell above the door. Upon entering the shop the smell of fresh breads and pastries overwhelms the senses as a well lit and almost angelic like lighting brightens the store. The rows are filled with little white tables with heart-backed chairs line either side of the store leading to the front where the magic happens. At the front of the store is a long counter with glass fronts lining the entire width of the store. Tons of freshly baked treats are located behind the glass and chalkboards line the walls with details of the available items for sale. There is a register located at the end of the counter and a door behind the counter that leads to the baking area which is not visible to the customers when the door is closed.

2 Bakers at each location
3 Cashiers at each location

and 1 manager at each location aside from the Hogsmeade Shop which she solely manages. Sailor also visits the locations and makes sure they are in proper working order and that customers are receiving the best care. Finally, she continues to bake for each of the locations when she can, but she has hired other bakers who follow her recipes to make the treats when she is not there.

Name of Shop: Blue Lotus Yoga Studio
Kind of Shop:* Yoga Studio
Location: Bristol
Description of Shop:

Located on the Bristol harbor, Blue Lotus is a small and unassuming building. It’s just one room, really — after walking through the door, you are greeted by whomever happens to be by the door, and all classes take place further in the room. It’s a peaceful room, with dimmed lights and mirrors. Of course, there is also a storage closet, and the best part of the studio is the small back garden, with room for outdoor classes and a small garden.

Name of Owner: @vayda
Name of Shop: Devil's Advo-Cake
Kind of Shop:* Bakery
Location: Godric's Hollow
Description of Shop: This little bakery is nestled in on the main street of Godric's Hollow, and has a very pleasant patio for anyone who wants to enjoy their freshly made pastries outside on nice day. The inside is painted a nice shade of blue that took Vayda ages to pick out, might she add, and the accent color is a pale yellow, because that looks nice. Anyway, there are plenty tables and plushy chairs for sitting and relaxing, as well as a few fireplaces to warm up the place in the colder months. Pastries are made fresh each morning and it isn't at all uncommon for Vayda to experiment with recipes and offer her regulars something new each week.

Oh, and if you happen to know about the Blackwood cult, you'll find Vayda perfectly amendable to making special sweets for you. She knows how to make a puff pastry that will really ruin a person's day. She does charge extra for any pastries that cause bodily harm, though. Of course.

Name of Shop: The London Dueling and Social Club
Kind of Shop:* Dueling Club
Location: London
Description of Shop:

The London Dueling and Social Club is a private members-only amateur and professional dueling club, open to recreational and competitive duelers. The club has existed under its current organization since 2008. Prior to this, there were at least five other iterations of the LDC, the first organized in 1705.

Classes and competitions for school aged children, 11-18, are held in the summer months.

At nearly 90,000 sq ft., the club beautifully embraces the glamour of the 1950's and 60's–pairing the service and sophistication of the West End with the downtown cool of the East End. Just off Liverpool Street, this private club boasts an incredible food and beverage program, as well as a plethora of amenities for members–like a private gymnasium, a winter garden with an adjoining cigar terrace and a summer terrace for al fresco dining and lounging.

With 37 guest rooms, The London Dueling Club has its own boutique hotel with 68 beautifully designed bedrooms, situated over four floors. The luxury rooms come in a variety of sizes, from compact Club Rooms that are perfect for an overnight work stay, to interconnecting rooms designed with families in mind and then right up to luxurious Club Suites, ideal for a special weekend in the heart of London. Every luxury room has been finished to an exceptionally high standard.

House elves maintain the property and assist the chef in all food preparation. Often a house elf will be seen behind the bar or providing food/beverage service to the clientele. However, a number of hospitality positions are still manned by wixens.

Members-only, expect to pay several thousand galleons for a yearly membership.

Name of Shop: The Lestrange Foundation
Kind of Shop:* Not Really a Shop - It's a Charitable Foundation
Location: Dorset

Description of Shop: The Lestrange Foundation was founded by Andromeda Lestrange in December of 2018. A massive institution based in Dorset, the Lestrange Foundation controls billions of galleons in charitable funds for the advancement of medicine.

Run by its chairman, Andromeda Lestrange, the Foundation, along with its board, support medical institutions that perform and provide information about stem-cell research, advancements in the treatment of cancer, etc. The Foundation also recognizes top researchers and surgeons for innovative, next-level approaches in their respective fields with the awarding of the Blair Award.

One by-law of the Lestrange Foundation is that Lestrange children become legacy board members. At 15, children gain access to board meetings and learn the Foundation Business. At 18, Lestrange children officially become board members, with voting rights.

While the Foundation is the institution that gathers prospective Blair Award nominees and hosts the banquet awards, the Foundation’s board selects a separate, impartial committee to vote and elect the winner.
