They turned in their Catalog Amulets at the Main Desk and returned to the Entrance Hall.  As they approached the Main Doors, the left opened itself for them.  They passed through into a large, spare, ugly concrete room with a wide ramp leading upward to a lorry-sized garage door.  Along the right was a normal sized door, and Xenophilius chose this exit as the Main Door behind them closed and vanished.  He opened the door for Luna and followed her up a short flight of concrete stairs.  At the top was another door that led into a room that was quite unexpected.  Deep shag carpet — vibrant pink — covered the floor.  Dark blue wallpaper sprinkled with gold and silver astrological and mystical symbols covered the walls.  A thick, pink curtain hanging in a doorway on the opposite side of the room seemed to exude a heavy perfume.  They passed through this and into the dark Waiting Room of Madame Herophile⁴ Trelawny’s Fortune Telling.

Luna recalled her very first visit to Madame Herophile’s.  She had the good fortune to meet the seer personally, as Luna’s father had come especially for an interview.  Madame Herophile took great pains to explain what made her shop so important.
