A day to Shop
"Hey guys!" Sarah greeted. Today they were going shopping for their school supplies. They were all gathered near the pool at Lyris' mansion. Sarah took a seat next to Nikki and watched as Lyris paced. From afar one would think that she was talking to herself, but as you looked closer you could see a headset
"Yes mom, it's ok… Uncle Severus will be there so everything will be fine. No, he won't be with me on my way there, but he teaches in the school so everything will be fine." Lyris was trying to confirm with her mom that she was going to be fine, but Lyris always had problems keeping out of trouble. "Ok. Bye Mom" she ended the conversation and turned to her friend.
All three of her friends looked at her with curious look and asked, "Uncle Severus?"
"Oh, you know… that uncle that I spend a lot of my summers with when we go to family vacation. He's not really my uncle by blood but more like he married my aunt, but she passed away and he still keeps in touch. He teaches in Hogwarts as the potions master." Lyris explain.
"The creepy looking one that we saw, and scared the daylights out of me" Sarah asked questioningly as she played with the hem of her skirt.
"That would be Uncle Severus or Professor Snape. But who cares… lets go and get this shopping over with." Lyris answered.
As they got to Wizarding shops they all separated to complete the last of their shopping, they had promised to meet at the bookstore.
"Ok the little one is missing." Kristle said as Sarah meet her Nikki at the front of the bookstore.
"Mom!" Lyris yelled as she reached her friends, "Sorry the lineups at the Quidditch store was long and I really needed a new broom servicing kit."
"It's fine, we should get this over with. Remember, only the books that we need for school and whatever extra reading… do not buy until we confirm that we are not buying the same thing." She explained in her motherly way. After an hour in the bookstore, they met up close to the counter and looked over the books. Some of the extra books that they picked were similar and those they put back. The rest they bought and then they left for home.
