I grabbed a handful of green powder out of the nearby flower pot and then stepped into the fire. I felt my feet hit the concrete and I stumbled a little. After quickly composing myself, I patiently waited for Fred. He appeared a few seconds later, coughing on the powder he'd swallowed. When his throat was clear I grabbed his hand and marched him out of the abandoned shop and into the snow covered street.
We both pulled our cloaks over our heads and quickly hurried along the street. Trying to keep warm and also keep our identities a secret. We'd had special permission from Dumbledore. We had flooed from his fireplace to an abandoned shop in the south of England. It was a short ten minute walk to the nearby city, and to the massive baby shop we'd travelled so far to visit.
As we turned a corner the shop came into view. It was painted cream and the shops name hung just above the doorway. It said 'Granny B's' in big gold lettering. We scurried along the pavement and into the store, grateful to be out of the snow.
I told Fred to get a trolley and started walking along the first aisle. I hated missing studying time. Even if this was important and necessary that didn't mean it would have to take all day. Fred returned shortly and I began shoving stuff into the trolley. I wasn't planning a second trip and I was determined to get everything in the cart. I managed to get everything in except the pram, cot and carry cradle. So I pushed the trolley while Fred stumbled along with the bigger items. We past a lot of couples, all of them were older than us and the women looked about 7-8 months pregnant. I wasn't even half way yet, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared does it?
We managed to drag everything to the till. We rammed everything onto the small conveyer belt and the cashier scanned everything quickly and efficiently. Soon all the new stuff was in three large bags, Fred carried the pram, cot and one bag while I carried the carry cradle and other two bags.
Soon we were back in the abandoned house and were stepping into the fireplace. I was grateful when I was back in the common room, revising in front of the warm fire.
I'm still also looking for the 'perfect' baby name, so give me your ideas and opinions! Thanks x
