"If you could go anywhere where would you want to go?" Regina asked Emma one day.

"Is this a family vacation planning session I sense?" Emma questioned.

"This one is," Regina said, stepping into Emma's space and lowering her voice, "but the next one is just us." Emma shivered, relishing the possibilities for next time. She shook it off, remembering that this trip was for the three of them.

"I know exactly where I want to go," Emma grinned.

"I'm so excited," Henry exclaimed, practically vibrating in his chair, "I can't believe we're on a bus to the Warner Brother's Studio to see the sets of Harry Potter!"

Once inside, the Swan-Mills family spent hours looking at set designs and prototypes as well as props, animatronics, and taking pictures of each of them riding a broom even though Regina was hesitant to do so.

"This is more Zelena's mode of transportation, don't you think?"

Finally, after about four hours, they found themselves within the highly overpriced gift shop.

"We have to get sweaters," Emma insisted.

"They're called jumpers here, Ma," Henry reminded her.

"Whatever, kid," she replied, ruffling his hair. "Alright, everyone go pick out your house jumper," Emma emphasized.

Five minutes later they met back up near the front of the shop, jumpers in hand.

"Of course you picked Ravenclaw," Emma teased Henry.

"He's very intelligent, it makes sense," Regina defended. Emma squinted before giving Regina a surprised look.

"Hufflepuff?" Emma asked in shock. Regina blushed and opened her mouth to say something when Henry jumped in.

"She's very loyal," he pointed out, "and to be a Charming you have to be a good finder." There was silence amongst the three.

"Did our son just outwardly call me a Charming?" Regina asked, raising and eyebrow.

"Come on, you became a Charming as soon as you and Ma started dating," Henry protested.

"The kid has a point," Emma agreed.

"And what's this?" Regina pulled the green and silver jumper out of Emma's grasp. "Slytherin? I pegged you as choosing Gryffindor."

"And I thought we'd be matching," Emma replied, "but yes, I'm a Slytherin. I'm the cunning sheriff, of course." Regina chuckled and kissed Emma on the cheek.

"We're a beautifully diverse family," she said, leading them to the counter to pay.

"Wait until Gram and Gramps get the Christmas photos of us all wearing our jumpers!" Henry exclaimed. Regina made a face as Emma just laughed and Henry continued to grin.


I've been to these studios and I can attest it does take about four hours to see everything. :)
