*At the supermarket*
If going to the supermarket after work was a real pain on the neck, going with a 6-month-old magical baby was even worse. That's what Hermione discovered one afternoon when she decided to take Belle with her to run some errands. As soon as they arrived to the building, Hermione took a cart and placed the baby on the seat. She was walking down the aisle of vegetables and fruits and checking her list.
"OK, we need apples, bananas, some oranges, and strawberries." she told the baby as the pushed the cart to the shelves. She was looking through apples when she noticed something weird from the corner or her eye. She turned around to see three bananas, four oranges and some strawberries flying to their cart. Her daughter giggled from her seat and Hermione instantly knew that she was levitating those fruits.
"No, Belle. You can't do that here!" she explaimed as she grabbed the bananas and put them in a bag. Belle just laughed and looked at the fruit levitating around her. Hermione looked around, trying to grab everything as fast as she could. She was hoping nobody went there or else she'd have to obliviate them. Luckily for her, only a woman turned around the corner and it was by the time Hermione had already finished gathering all the strawberries. She just sighed and put the bags in the cart.
"We better hurry up before you decide to levitate anything else." Hermione said pushing the cart and walking to the baby products aisle. She suddenly felt her cart crush something and Belle's whimper. She instantly looked at the baby and rubbed her tummy soothingly.
"It's alright, baby. Mommy's sorry. Everything's alright." she told the baby.
"I'm sorry." a young woman told her. Her cart was just in front of her. Hermione looked at her.
"I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking." she appologised as the woman walked over to her and looked at the baby. Belle was quiet already and looking at her curiously.
"What a lovely baby! She's adorable!" the woman said tickling Belle's chin. Hermione smiled a bit.
"Thank you." she said.
"I bet you're having fun shopping with your sister." the woman told the baby. Hermione looked at her.
"She's... not my sister. She's my daughter." she quickly said. The woman looked at her in a shocking and disapproving way, as Hermione noticed.
"Oh... well... you are... you seem very young." the woman said.
"We must get going. Sorry." Hermione said pushing the cart to the side so they could keep going. She wasn't 2 steps away from the woman when she saw a carton of milk levitating away from the woman's cart. Hermione glanced at her daughter.
"Belle! Put it back in the woman's cart, sweetheart." she whispered to the baby. The little girl glanced at her and the carton moved further from the cart. "Belle, I mean it." Hermione warned her. Belle kept looking at her in the most Hermione-ish way. "She surely got that deathly glare from me." Hermione thought. She sighed. Mother and daughter kept glaring at each other, none of them dared to blink either. They stayed that way for a long time until the sound of another cart startled Belle and the milk fell to the floor. Before the woman would notice about her missing milk, Hermione pushed to cart faster to the cashier. Belle just giggled from her seat and Hermione could see some of the things she had got floating out of the cart. Hermione stopped and gave Belle a look making all the products fall back in the cart.
"We should really go back home before you have the clever idea to take the cash machine with us too." she said pushing the cart again. Belle just gave her an innocent smile. For her, going grocery shopping was really fun.
