Chapter 6: Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions

August 17, 2018 (continued)-

"Everything just hasto happen today..." muttered Andrew under his breath. I could understand how he felt, a lot has happened but what was happening at the moment is going to sap the little energy that we have left. There was a ginger cat chasing a very panicked owl. Amidst of all the feathers, fabric, string, and clothing, were 6 kids standing silently, watching three adults move around frantically to catch the two animals.

"Ron! Get that trouble-making owl out of here!"

"Well I can't do much since your cat is chasing it for a marathon!"

"Don't try to act smart, Ronald Weasley! We both know it doesn't suit you!"

"Tell me one thing Hermione, do you want your cat alive or not? If you do, then come and help me catch it before I hit it with a broom!"

"You wouldn't dare! I have my ways to control my own pet." The woman with curly hair paused and dug into her handbag. She then withdrew a thick cracker. "Crookshanks! Do you want your 'Scrumptious Tuna Tidbits' or not?" The cat froze immediately. It started to make its way to its owner and snuggled against her feet. The woman gave the cracker to the cat and the cat devoured it hungrily. "Well, at least Crookshanks listens to its owner." Said the woman.

"Good thing you tamed that 'Uglynails' of yours, any minute longer and I don't know what I'd do." Stated the man.

"Okay, freeze! I've got four things to say:

It's not 'uglynails' it's Crookshanks

The reason you don't know what you'd do is because you wouldn't be able to do anything

Both of you were wrong in bringing your pets inside the shop

Stop giving bad examples as children, to the children."

The third woman said that. She had average length hair that matched in color with the man, ginger. As she said that, she turned around to face the 6 other kids then turned to us. The other 2 adults followed her gaze and both got embarrassed.

"I'm sorry for the noise we caused. From the both of us." Said the woman, eyeing the man. "Why don't we introduce ourselves? Hello, I'm Hermione Weasley. That man over there is my husband Ron. This is my sister-in-law Ginny." Said Hermione. "You guys seem young, are you perhaps shopping for school supplies as well?"

"Yes. By 'as well' do you mean your family is here for that reason also?" I asked.

"Yes, that's right. Hey, I should introduce you kids to our kids. They'd be happy to know that they would have familiar faces at school. Come I'll help you meet them." I wonder how she knows that we are going to the same school? She led us to the 6 kids and started the introductions. "So in left to right order, there is Ginny's daughter Lily, my oldest daughter Rose, my two youngest sons Hugo and Herald who are twins, my oldest son Ronnie, and my youngest daughter Mionly. Aside from them, there is also Ginny's two sons who are somewhere with their father. Hugo, Lily, and Herald are too young to go this year but next year they would become newbies at Hogwarts. Aside from them, everyone one else is going." I looked at the kids. All of them were ginger and fair-skinned except for Mionly and Ronnie, those two were different, Mionly had chocolate-brown hair, while Ronnie had black. Aside from that, both looked fairly similar to the other kids. "How about you guys?" Hermione looked at us.

"I'm Jo-Anne, this is my big brother Andrew, big brother Jeremy, my sister Carrie, Gobby, Fern, and Miss Rain." Said Jo-Anne. Hermione gave a smile but looked ever so slightly confused.

"I'm Missariene Marol, these four are siblings of the Heinz family, this is our supervisor and escort Selsaur Gobbins, and this is our friend Fern." I explained. Hermione smiled and looked a bit relieved with my elaboration.

"Since we're all shopping for the same things, we should do it together. Would that be fine?" She looked expectantly at Gobby. He nodded. "Alright. So when we're looking for the right clothing for each child, you guys should keep each other company so no one becomes bored. I'll come back every 15 or so minutes to get another child." As she said that, she took Rose's hand and went to a pile of black fabric. We all looked at each other, me, Fern, Andrew, Carrie, Jeremy, Jo-Anne, looked at the other five kids while they all looked back at us. Gobby left somewhere, deserting us in the awkward silence. I didn't know what to say or do, since for all my life I've been around younger kids. Even when I was a child I was uncomfortable around people my age or older. I can take care of younger people, but I can't take care of older people. Then a thought came to my mind.

"What year are you guys going into? And at which school?" I asked. Everyone looked at me. Jumalauta! Then everyone smiled and the atmosphere seemed to lighten up.

"It's Rose's second year and it's our first year for me and Ronnie." Said Mionly.

"It's me, Andrew, and Fern's first year as well at Hogwarts." I replied.

"So that means, we'll all have the house sorting ceremony together!" Exclaimed Ronnie. "Tell me! What house do you want to go to? I want to go to Hufflepuff though my parents prefer Gryffindor."

"Same here." Said Mionly. "Rose is in Ravenclaw." I thought about the question but I didn't know much about the houses so I decided not to choose. That would be the job of the school to decide where I would go, not me. Andrew also stayed silent.

"I want Gryffindor along with Slytherin. Both fit me." Stated Fern. I think she misinterpreted the 'houses' part for 'clothes'.

"Where are you guys going next?" I asked.

"Ollivanders." Said Herald.

"Us too." Said Fern.

"How come we have similar schedules?" I asked.

"You didn't know? All students get the same shopping list." Explained Fern. Oh.

"So while we wait, lets play a game I call 'Fortunest'." Everyone looked at me as if they had no idea what I just said. "It's a card game similar to 'truth or dare' and 'would you rather'. Though in order to play it, you'd need a special deck of cards. Which I luckily have with me at the moment." I put my hand in my pocket and pulled out a deck of cards tied together by an elastic band. As I was saying the rules, I started shuffling the cards. "The game goes like this, each person gets 15 cards. Since we have a lot of people here, we'll play in teams. Herald, Carrie, Fern, Ronnie, and me are one team. Andrew, Jeremy, Hugo, Lily, Mionly are the second team. Jo-Anne will watch the game. Each team chooses a player to go first, that player gets 15 cards. You aren't allowed to see the cards. On each card, there is a task, some are good, and some are bad. The players take turns and get only two choices, you can either choose a card from your 15 or a card from the opponent's 15. Once you get a task, you must fulfill it. After fulfilling it, the card you chose is put at the bottom of the deck and one of your 15 cards is withdrawn. The aim of the game is to get all your cards withdrawn before the opponent's. If you refuse to fulfill a task then one card is added to your 15 cards and another teammate must play in your place. In short, it's based on your wits and luck." Everyone agreed in playing the game.

"What if you choose a card from the opponent's set?" Asked Hugo.

"It's like trading. If you take a card from their set then they can choose to take any one card from your set." I replied. Everyone understood the game and split into the teams. We all got a large table to use from the shopkeeper and started the game. "Alright, first players come up." It was Jeremy against Fern. They took their 15 cards and arranged them on the table in rows. Jeremy won the 'rock-paper-scissors challenge' so he began first. Jeremy picked the top left corner card and flipped it over. "Act out your favorite movie scene." Jumalauta!

Till tomorrow then…
