Chapter 6: Choices Made
Harry went Christmas shopping the weekend before break at Hogsmeade, making sure to get himself some Butterbeer. While he was at Honeydukes his serenity was broken when Dumbledore sat down next to him and started asking questions about next term and his plans for Christmas.
"I'm sorry Professor Dumbledore, but I best be off. I have a lot of shopping to be getting on with." Harry said as he excused himself from the table.
He bought Malfoy a board game called Wizards and Dragons and Crabbe and Goyle some trick candy. Harry laughed out loud when he read Trick Tart Custards and Ton Tongue Toffees by the Weasley Twins. He bought some for Ron and bought a book called Ancient Magic for Hermione but when he was walking back to Hogwarts he decided that it was stupid to be getting presents for them and dropped them by the sidewalk, wishing he had some muggle aspirin.
Later on that evening he was trying to figure out where Ron's and Hermione's presents had gone, completely forgetting that he had tossed them. He decided that he didn't have time to go back and buy some more. He wanted to get a good nights rest, with his first lesson with Snape.
