It was close to closing and the clerk hurried as fast as he could to finish up his duties prior to locking the door. It was a particularly cold night but he knew at home was the warmth of the hearth and his children would greet him with hugs and smiles. The bell rang, announcing that someone had entered the store.
Almost instantly, Bilabe Jollyheart recognized the patron as Mr. Severus Snape. All the details of his life it seemed was common knowledge, such as how he survived the war. How he was a celebrated hero. How he was given his job back as the Headmaster of Hogwarts. How he fell in love with Miss Hermione Granger and they were expecting their first child around the New Year.
Without much ceremony or emotion, he placed a parcel on his counter. "I would like to return this."
It was a quick transaction, involving magic and the exchange of galleons for goods. After the man left, Jollyheart opened the parcel to start the process of restocking the goods. :Inside was a babe's a thick stack of babe's clothing; in perfect order and never used ready to be sold to the next customer.
