Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour is a family-run ice cream parlour specializing in small-batch, magically enhanced frozen desserts.

Target Clientele:

Anyone!

Description of Location:
The parlour is a small, cozy shop with a handful of tables inside, and a little seating area just outside of it. There are also a few charmed stools along the front window ledge that warm themselves in the winter and cool themselves in the summer.

The walls are lined with old shelves that hold jars of enchanted toppings and ingredients. The counter itself is pretty clean. A blackboard near the register lists the day’s flavors, some underlined in bold chalk (“safe”) and others starred and annotated with phrases like “still a little unstable: taste at your own risk.” There is a larger blackboard outside for people to view that day’s flavors as well.

There is a small room with a kitchen behind the counter that is for employees only. Inside that room is a door that leads to an even smaller room, which is kept very cold to keep the ice cream from melting. Inside there are softly churning barrels and bubbling syrups.

The handful of tables inside include:

• The Card Table - A square, green painted table near the front window. The legs of the table have card suits carved into them, and often there’s a set of cards on the table for patrons to play with. Rumor has it that sitting next to the leg carved with hearts will bring you luck in love, although obviously that’s never been proven.


• The Garden Table - Iron-wrought and circular, this table’s surface is enchanted to shift with the seasons: spring leaves, summer blossoms, autumn vines, and gentle frost come winter.


• The Wobbly Table - Ironically the largest of the tables, it's a long but narrow three legged table that always leans slightly to the left no matter how many times it’s been fixed. In fact the wood is scuffed, uneven, and patched with mismatched wood from other broken tables. It has a charm against spilled ice cream that only works sometimes.


• The Memory Table - Situated by the register, this two person table’s surface is almost entirely covered by initials that have been carved into it since the parlour’s opening. Patrons are welcome to add their own. There’s a small notebook kept on the table where people can write down the flavor they were eating when they sat there.


• The Stool Table - A standing height round table with no chairs, customers stop here when they’re “not staying long” but wind up lingering anyway.


• The Bird Table - Tucked into the coziest corner of the parlour, this table is square some days and circular the others. Some days it has two chairs, other days it has more. Asa Fortescue sent it from abroad in a crate marked definitely not cursed! The surface is carved with unfamiliar birds that migrate across the table throughout the day. It gives off a faint, citrusy scent and never seems to collect dust

Advertisement: Advertises in Witch Weekly, especially during the winter months to hopefully bring in clientele when it's slow. Also post their seasonal / limited editions flavor on bulletin boards throughout magical London / Hogsmeade.

Other Notes: During the warmer months, Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour sets up a small cart in Hogsmeade for Hogsmeade Weekend. Painted pale blue and cream with delicate gold lettering, the cart is stocked with chilled containers of some of the more popular flavors, enchanted to stay perfectly frozen no matter the weather. A rotating chalkboard sign lists the current offerings; it’s definitely not as extensive as the parlour itself. There's always a jar of tiny spoons for free samples.

Spoons, the orange Kneazle, spends a lot of time in the shop. She loves children and has a constant need to be petted.
