The next morning Hermione, Lisa, Heather and Danie were all up and dressed before anyone else. They all raced down to the dungeons and Danie banged on Snape's office door.

"Yo, dad!" Danie called. "DAD! We've got to go now!"

There was the sound of a door creaking open, a few crashes and some groans, then the door swung open to reveal Snape - in his boxer shorts. The Girls burst into giggles.

"Well that answers my question!" Danie said between giggles.

"Huh?" Snape said. Then he looked down to realize that he'd grabbed his robe, but forgotten to put it on entirely. He screamed and quickly threw it on. "Do you have a purpose for being here?" he said, trying not to blush.

"You're taking us shopping, remember?" Heather said, jumping up and down.

"Please don't say shopping." Lisa said. "It sounds to girlish."

"It's six in the morning!" Snape exclaimed, walking into the office and sitting down at his desk. The girls followed and closed the door behind them.

"We don't want anyone knowing that we're shopping with you." Heather said. "Got a reputation to keep you know."

"Heather, be nice to my daddy!" Danie said.

"Sorry, I haven't had my sugar yet." Heather said putting her head down on the desk. "And you dragged me out of bed at this ridiculous hour. You know I hate waking up before ten."

"Well at least someone has SOME common sense in this group." Snape said, stretching.

"Let's go." said Heather. "Maybe I'll find some sugar on the way there and we can get down to some serious shopping."

"Bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy..." Heather was jumping all over Diagon Alley.

"I don't think we should've given her that fifth Lemon Drop!" Hermione said.

"Yes - that - is - what - put - me - over - the - edge!" Heather said between hops and gulps of air.

"Just be grateful I'm not on a sugar high... yet" Lisa said as she jumped out of the way seconds before Heather landed with a smack on the cement, where Lisa had once stood.

A few minutes later after all had regained order Lisa , Heather, and Hermione wander, slowly but surly, away from Snape into a shop where they would hide until Danie came and 'found' them.

"Where have those friends of yours wander off too?" asked Snape

"I don't know" replied Danie with her fingers crossed under her cloak " But we will have a better chance of finding them in this crowd if we split up."

"Fine. If or when you have found them, meet me in the Leaky Cauldron" Snape said as he headed towards the Gringotts. " I'll search over by the bank and you can search by the Leaky Cauldron."

Thanking god the Snape had chosen to search over by Gringotts, Danie ran towards the shop where the three girls where hidden. "Ready to go raise some hell?" asked Danie

"Ya!" replied Heather and Lisa, as they dragged Hermione towards the Leaky Cauldron.

"Muggle world... here we come!" shouted Heather as they exited the Leaky Cauldron onto the sunny London street.
