Sometimes Lily has to close the shop down to argue some thing or another in Ministry because things have gone tits up with restrictions. She's not afraid to argue with the Yaxleys until they threaten to shut her own on technicalities, whereupon she'll be temporarily cowed - but that doesn't mean she's not going to do her best arguing until then. She's good at it - sometimes she actually gets them to budge, but not often. More often it's a fruitless endeavor and she ends up storming out of the department angrily.
It's not an uncommon occurrence.
diagon alley
In Diagon Alley there is a small apothecary. Its name is simply Auturgy and it's run by a young redheaded witch by the name of Lily Evans. She's a Muggleborn, as evidenced by the cut off of her shop hours immediately at the curfew. Still, her shop is popular even if her living above the shop doesn't give her the loophole she'd hoped for in the first place. Her work is impeccable and if you'd like to come in and see her, there are plenty of ready-made things in stock and a board behind the counter details potions she's willing to make on-demand that can't be stored long-term. Those willing to pay far higher prices are welcome to special request potions that aren't listed, but there's no guarantee that she'll be willing to make them.
She's open seven days a week and you're welcome to come in to see her, but if you're going to try to stay past curfew she's going to boot you unceremoniously out of the shop. She has no qualms about it, either: she's not going to risk her entire shop getting shut down permanently just for fear of losing one customer.
m.i.a.v.i.

Might I ask if anyone else has encountered shops deciding that they aren't required to serve Muggleborns recently or is it just me? This ridiculous curfew and refusal to adhere to the constraints of time are bad enough, but now my ability to run my business is actively being impeded.
