Oh, and on the subject of interesting strangers:
Lyra Potter would probably feel inclined to try and help a girl she saw in distress if no one else seemed likely to. She's a vampire en route to the vampire caverns. Do with that what you will.
Rush Khatri could feasibly run into her if she's in London and his family has sort of a habit of taking in magical foundlings in need of assistance, which would also put her in the way of Reva Khatri Yasmina Khatri and Valentino Khatri. Potential plot drama there because if she figures out what the shady import store is/does she can't just walk out and tell the whole magical world about it so there might be a conversation to be had before they'd let her leave - and/or obliviating to be done? IDK we'd figure it out as we went. xD
