Chapter 6- grocery shopping

Recap

Dear Lily

Hope you enjoy your new job. Knowing you right now the kitchen pantries and the fridge would be completely empty and you would either be eating junk food everyday or not be eating at all. So my next mission for you to complete is to go to the grocers and stock up on some food. Plus you have to at least eat food at home once a week. They better not be take out food.

Love dad

The next day at work was filled with paperwork. There was another death eater attack last night except this time it was in a very reclusive place. The Ministry officers couldn't figure out what the motive was to hit such a reclusive muggle area.

Lily spent the pretty much the whole day except at lunch at her desk filling in the paperwork along with Emily and a couple of other people in the department. Even at lunch they didn't go down to the cafeteria to eat but rather just brought their lunch up to their desks to continue filling the papers. Everyone in the ministry was busy.

Lily's week continues to be this hectic due to the attacks occurring all the time. The Daily Prophet kept on having headlines with both muggle families and wizarding families being murdered.

Lily finally had a day off work. It was Saturday morning and Lily had just cleaned her house up the muggle way, throwing away all the butterbeer bottles and take-away containers that have been lounging around her house in a great number. After cleaning her house she went down to Diagon Alley where there was a grocery shop for magical folk.

The grocery shop was owned by a squib. Her name was Mrs. Taylor. Unfortunately her family was attacked during the week by You Know Who, so now she is a widow. Her shop which is called the Food House is very successful.

When Lily entered the store it was no surprise that the staff was bustling around the shop trying to assist customers best they can.

Lily went over to get a trolley she had a hunch that she would be buying pretty much everything in the shop that day. She first went to the fresh food section. She bought different fruits and vegetables and then she went to get some bread.

About an hour later with a full trolley she went over to the counter to pay for all of her expenses. All the lines for the counter were extra long today. She went over to the closest one and waited till everybody in front of her had paid.

Suddenly somebody's trolley crashed into her. She turned around to find her ex-fiancé Joshua Knox.
