Hectic
Draco had thought Diagon Alley was a busy place at Christmas. He thought he had experienced all the world of shopping had to offer on the horror front. He thought that the worst was over.
He had been wrong. No form of magical shopping could have prepared him for the utter turmoil and panic that came with muggle shopping. It was like a war zone, he saw to women fighting over a doll and others over various items of food and clothing.
Armed with some metal death contraption, which he had already jammed his finger in twice, and laden with all sorts of food and gifts Draco attempted to keep up with Hermione as she deftly navigated the crowds. She was metal death contraption free of course and he only narrowly avoided knocking out an escaped toddler as he swerved around a corner.
He shared a harried look with the mother.
"Chocolate?" Hermione called back at him.
His eyes roamed the trolley. "Check!"
"Mistletoe?"
"Check!"
"Stockings?"
"Check!"
"Harry's present?"
"One wonder boy gift, check! And, before you ask, ginger side kick's present is also a check."
He smirked at the glare Hermione threw at him but there was no real malice behind her eyes. She turned back to face forward, gracefully dodging a teenage boy glued to his phone.
"Cake?"
"Check!"
"Cheese and crackers?"
"Check!"
"Wreath?"
"Ch- errr." Draco scanned the trolley but he soon realised. "I have no idea what a wreath is Hermione."
She paused in the middle of the aisle, much to the disgruntled looks of other shoppers. Her nose titled up and her eyes scanned something although what Draco had no idea. Like a radar she began to spin on the spot, searching, searching. She could have used one of those little buffering signs on the muggle internet.
A few seconds later she jumped so violently with a look so crazed and bright that Draco actually flinched. "This way!" she declared and was off.
Back into the fray it was then.
