A week later, Minerva decided to work on Harry's birthday. She sent invitations for a surprise party to , Ron, Hermione and Severus, Molly and Arthur, Ginny and Neville, Seamus, Fred and George, Tonks, Remus and Sasha, Alastor and Poppy and last but not least, Tonks. Dressing casually in summer robes, Minerva decided to floo to Diagon Alley. Making her way downstairs, she ran into Siobann and Athena.
"Hello my darling, how are you feeling?"
"Much better, mother."
"Where are you going Rory?" Siobann asked.
"Diagon Alley. I need to get some things for Harry's birthday."
"Oh let's make a day of it!" Siobann squealed. "We haven't been shopping together in ever so long."
"There's a good reason too." Minerva mumbled under her breath.
Ten minutes later, with both her mother and sister in tow, Minerva arrived in Diagon Alley.
"Where to first Minerva?" Athena asked.
"I want to get Harry some new quidditch gear." Mineva answered. "I'll meet up with you later."
"OK darling" Athena replied.
As they watched Minerva walk away, Siobann commented "Marriage is the best thing that ever happened to her."
"I quite agree my dear." Athena said.
