After a quick trip to Gringotts bank to take out some of the money his parents had left him, the two males worked down the list of supplies, weaving past fellow witches and wizards who were doing the same. After a few hours the two were worn out and decided to rest, deciding to visit Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. Teddy sat down on a table outside whilst Harry went to buy them something to eat to help them gain their energy after their long shopping spree, as well as to cool them down due to the hot day. Teddy almost threw the bags on the floor as he sat down, relieved to be free of their weight. Why hasn't wizards thought of something to help with heavy shopping?

They probably had, thinking about it.

It had been a couple of months since Teddy had experienced the Wizarding World. He had stayed with his grandparents, so he hadn't interacted with other wizards apart from the Potter's and the occasional visit from the Weasley's. Teddy didn't expect them to come around often though. They all had families and younger children and even though he was young, he accepted that it wasn't their job to look after him all the time. He was grateful for his Godfather offering to take him to buy his school supplies and take him to the train the following morning. His grandparents were willing to take him, but they weren't sure that they would walk for so long and carry his things. Even though he turned eleven and got his letter from Hogwarts in April, they had only just managed to go. It was easier to get them done one after the other. He enjoyed the time he spent with his grandparents don't get it wrong, he just missed the extra bit of magic from time to time. But he also appreciated that he didn't have to change his ears into dogs ears all the time (it was Albus' favourite and he would not stop asking for it until he did it).

Being back in Diagon Alley was a little strange. He loved it, but it was a slightly weird to see people with brightly coloured robes instead of jeans and a t-shirt. Teddy watched the people go by, bustling along in a last-minute rush to buy all of the things they needed just like he was. He liked being back here. It was home.

However, the more he watched people, the more he realised that people were glancing at him as they walked by. Some tied to be more discreet whilst others didn't even bother and openly gawked at him. Once girl, a few years younger than him, pulled at her mother's clock and pointed at him. He could see her mother tell her of, but even she did a sort of double take when she saw him. Teddy felt more and more self-conscious by the second. He didn't understand why for a moment but looked down and caught his reflection in the table. He still had bright blue hair. Why would something as simple as blue hair be so strange in the Wizarding World? Still looking at his reflection he could see his hair slowly fade to a mousy brown.

Harry returned slowly after, one had holding a huge sundae in one hand, and a large white coffee mug in the other. As he sat down and placed the former in front of the young boy, Teddy looked up. Harry noticed that something was wrong straight away.

"You've changed your hair colour? I liked the blue". He said as he stirred his coffee.

"I just wanted to change it" Teddy mumbled whilst grabbing the spoon and took a large mouthful of ice cream. Harry wasn't fooled and Teddy knew it.

He sighed. "Fine. People were staring at me " he admitted or at least tried to. His mouth was full of ice cream.

"Does it matter if people stare at you? People do it to me all the time".

"Yeah but they have a reason. Your famous. I just had blue hair"

Don't worry about what people think, you are who you are regardless" Harry reached over and ruffled Teddy's hair making the younger smile. "And I bet most people can only wish to be able to do what you can do."

"You look a lot like your father with that hair though" Harry sighed before giving Teddy a sad smile.

"You say that every time" Teddy then grinned at him cheekily. "And your eyes remind me of your mothers".

"Don't mock me" Harry laughed. "And well played. Now eat up, we need to buy you a wand and a pet before we go".

Teddy hadn't eaten anything so fast.
