This place was creepy. It was delightful. Araxfell was finding that the wizarding town of Obsidian Harbour had a lot more to offer than just beaches, ice cream parlours and music shops. Tired of Mister Fisker looking over his shoulder as he read the loca maps, he'd dismissed his tutor to go kick rocks or something, and headed out to explore further into the village. A few twists and turns later and he'd glanced up to the edge of a corner store to read 'Bleak Street'. Well, fair enough.
The street was far from bleak, in the young Danish man's opinion. There was a velvety, slinky sort of restaurant that had some great smells coming from it that Axel decided he'd order from on his way out, and a shop called Borgin and Burkes actually had a wishing monkey hand in the window. His mother (curse the witch) had one of those, and no matter how much he despised everything else about her, she'd collected some damned interesting items that he'd known better than to touch. Weirdly enough, it got a little misty the further he went, and there were a few more derelicts and ladies of the night lurking in corners, the latter making eyes at the seventeen year old and causing him to avert his own.
Finally he wound up in a little trouble, and Axel was more surprised that such a thing was even possible in Obsidian Harbour than frightened. A middle-aged ... something, man or woman he couldn't tell because the person was so dirty, starting shaking the obvious tourist down for a smoke, and whilst Axel was about as violent as a blobfish, he knew intimidation was probably the way to go. He fished out his (false) wand in half a moment and told them very straight forwardly to 'eff off' in mixed Danish and English. Huh. Bleak Street wizards were persistent ...
