Hannah had went to the bank first then to the book store and then to a store that sold potion supplies as she was running low. She was walking happily while dragging Deme with her. She got some parchment and thought about what to fold it into for tonight. "Your still doing that paper thing huh?" said Deme. "How did you know?" asked Hannah surprised. "I..I..you told me once." said Deme blushing. "No I didn't you have been spying on me haven't you!" she said pointing her wand at him. "I need some way to beat you at dueling." said Deme with distaste in his mouth. "Oh no.." he said seeing a black cloaked figure walking around the shops. "He's onto me I just know it! You have to hide me Hannah, I will give you anything you want, gold, fame, warm cuddles at night anything!!" said Deme not thinking as he babbled on with what he thought he could bribe her with. "I don't want anything, scaredy cat. Gosh can't you at least say hello to the man, its been what? 3 yrs since you last saw him?" asked Hannah a little amused at the form Deme had taken to hide. "2 and a half and don't remind me." said Deme still cowering behind her cloak. "He did save you what one time." said Hannah to him soothingly. "Forget it! He's the reason some students try to spit on me and three of the shop owners assistances won't even talk to me!" yelled Deme at her. "Your just making it worse on yourself and beside the students are Carmon Bettrose and his gang, he dislikes a lot of people." said Hannah trying to persuade him. "Okay, I think he left now." said Deme seeing the figure disappear into the crowd. "Lets go into the Three Broomsticks. I need something to calm my nerves." said Demeogo as he went in with Hannah following in a blue dress with white hair. Hannah went in and saw some of the other students there. She waved and went over to them and asked if they could sit with them. Deme got their food and headed towards Hannah.

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/JUzZSfU.png[/img]Beth greeted Sam (), Magnus (), Hannah and Demeogo (). She had been quietly eating her turkey leg, while she listened to the conversation around her.

[img align=left]http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/blissfuldaisies/Random/Hog_zpsirgm5ewn.png[/img] "Thank you for the chips and butterbeer, Amelia and Beth! I guess it did work out best to hold on to the tables!" Gaia laughed and answered Emmy's question. "Thank you Beth! That is nice to say!" Gaia beamed "I got a few sets of quills and parchments, we actually got an order of candies and sweets for the Ravenclaw tower, and we just need to stop at the pet shop and the quidditch shop. I think, are we missing a shop stop?"

"This table smells amazing! I guess we worked up an appetite! What other places are you all needing to go before we go back to school?"

Paddy munched her way through her Cornish Pasty and treacle tart, listening to the conversation around her. She would normally be more talkative, but this pasty was the best she'd had for ages and she wanted to savour every mouthful, and the treacle was making her fangs stick together.

She heard Gaia mention the pet shop, which reminded her that she was running low on owl treats. Paddy also wanted to check out the other pets they were selling, just out of curiosity at which might get on well with her. "I need to go to the pet shop too, and we haven't done Honeydukes yet - as long as you didn't buy up their entire stock," she replied laughing, before turning to Sam and Magnus, "any other shops you're wanting to go to?"

"It was somethin'," he stated not sure how else to describe the club meeting. It had gone very well and everyone had been super supportive. Though maybe he would have found it more interesting had he been a normal student. He mentally shrugged off the errant thought, as it did him no good. "Need ta go to Zonkos, and Tome and scrolls for sure." He polished off his food and ordered a steak and kidney pie. He had just started tucking into that when realised some that maybe his friends where taken aback by his food choices. "Sorry," he said with a light blush, "full moon on Christmas day. It being so close me appetite is stronger and I need extra protein and carbs for the up comin' shift."

Cardamom nursed her mug of darjeeling, body finally starting to warm up with the press of other students around her and the warm scents of bread and hearty treats coming out from behind the bar. This was better than going to Puddifoot's - the mugs here were much bigger than those dainty teacups.

"Pet shop for me, too," she piped up suddenly, only really just tuning in now, "Pinot is in need some fresh litter. Cleaning and scent charms only work so many times." If she left getting new litter any longer, her little rabbit was going to take going in other places than her assigned corner.

She eyed the pie their friend was tucking into and said, "It looks good. I haven't had their pie here before..." Mostly cause she had a sweet tooth, but this wasn't about her. "Better than up at the castle?"

Though, he seemed embarrassed, so maybe she should turn the conversation. "Has anyone been to the new robes store yet? I need a new pair of gloves pretty badly." Pinot had chewed holes in her hers. She held up a hand for everyone to see the nibbles left by her adorable monster. "Or do you think I should just owl order some?"

Magnus paused in the middle of his feast and pulled out the brand new pair of gloves that had given him. "'Ere," he said handing them over to "Paddy 'ere knitted these and put a warming spell on 'em too. I can colour change 'em if you don't want Gryffindor colours. I've already got a pair o' gloves anyway so don't need 'em really."

() "I am done eating, I can go to the robes store together. I need to get some stuff too." Gaia smiled at her friend.

() "Yeah, that's not going to be a particularly great Christmas Day with the full moon," Paddy muttered, "I think I might just celebrate a different day this year instead."

Paddy looked over at Cardamom () and added, "I added a sizing charm on the gloves, so they should fit you perfectly even if they look a little large. I might try knitting scarves this winter seeing as the weather's been so cold already."

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/JUzZSfU.png[/img]"I wouldn't mind going to Gladrags Wizardwear. I'd like to find some new robes." ( )

"I can go with you to Tomes and Scrolls, Magnus (). Besides, stopping by Zonko's sounds like fun.

"I still need to go Spintwitches for Quidditch gear and I should probably buy some treats for Moony at the pet shop."

"We can probably travel as a big group if nobody minds making all these stops. Are , Gaia and I the only ones who want to go to the pet shop?"

"You're welcome Gaia. I hope you had enough to eat. I'm half German, so eating enough is important in my family." Millie giggled. "Now that I think about it, I would like to stop in the Tomes and Scrolls so I can get a few rune books and ancient studies books. Maybe I'll get Cleo some treats too. I don't mind going as a big group."

Millie finished with her fish and chips and started working on her sticky toffee pudding.

"I tried to convince mum and dad of that meself," he said to Paddy. "It was a no go." In a high pitch mocking voice to sound like his mum he said," Magnus, you know its only our second Christmas. No, we'll have it at dawn and then you can take a nap and we'll have Christmas lunch together." He sighed clearly not happy about it.

"I'm 'appy going to all the places. As long as I get me books, an' troublemaking supplies I'll be a happy little werewolf." He polished off the steak and kidney pie and drank deeply the remaining butterbeer. "Oh and get some stuff from Honeydukes. Anyone got some favourite sweets ta suggest?"

"At least they've got it planned out for you," Paddy said to Magnus (), "my father would probably prefer to celebrate on the 25th, but Uncle is meant to be coming to lunch and I think my mother would be happier with him coming away from the full moon. She's never been too happy around him."

"I'm happy to go as one big group," she added (), "even if there's nothing I need to go into a shop for, I like browsing."

Sam polished off the last of the huge slab of roast beast and resisted the urge to lick the juices off the plate. Her conversation had been limited to waving at people as they greeted her, and an occasional unintelligible mumble around a mouthful of food, while she had been eating. Now happily full, she figured she was ready to brave the cold again. "The more, the merrier!" she agreed cheerfully "Maybe if we all go in a shop at once, they'll give us a volume discount!"

"Really?" Cardamom asked, a little in awe and a little touched that he was willing to pass those along to someone he had just really met that day, "Thanks Magnus ()." She slipped her nibbled gloves off and shoved her fingers into the new ones. So warm and soft! Wiggling her fingers, she complimented , "These are awesome. And I love the colors - I can be an honorary Gryff." She winked cheekily.

"Big group works for me! I already hit up Honeydukes today -" the older sixth year held up her paper bag " - if any of you like chocolate, the new seasonal flavors are out. They have apple pie fudge at the moment, too." She opened the bag and offered her stash up as samples to the rest. "If we're going again, I can get more..."

{{}}

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/JUzZSfU.png[/img]Beth finished drinking the rest of her butterbeer. "I never say no to chocolate," she said and picked a piece to eat. "Thank you!" she told .

"If you're a chocoholic like me, then you might like chocoballs," she suggested to Magnus ().

"Is everyone ready to go?"

Millie had just finished eating her pudding and was wiping her mouth with her napkin. "I'm ready when everyone else is." She turned to Magnus and said, "I agree with Beth. Chocoballs are the best. I think I will get some more if we go back."

Magnus smiled at Cardamom's reaction. He never thought twice about giving things to people. He'd been giving the gifts he got from charities to the younger children at the orphanage for years. "'Appy to give 'em ta ya. Don't really know about what I like sweet-wise. I never really 'ad many sweets till I got adopted so still kinda finding what I like. Maybe I'll get some o' everything."

"Magnus is going to teach me the colour-changing charm," Paddy replied, grinning at Cardamom, "I only bought wool in Gryffindor colours, which made gifts a bit challenging to knit this year!"

"Some of everything is a good plan, Magnus (). Just don't get too many of Bertie Botts Beans if you aren't keen on weird flavours. Chocoballs do sound like they should be the best ones to try."

"I'm ready whenever," she added to Beth (), "which shop do you want to head to next?"

( )

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/JUzZSfU.png[/img]"Let's stop by the pet shop first, since it seems like almost everyone wants to go there."

"I think we only need to stop at the pet shop, Gladrags Wizardwear, Spintwitches, Tomes and Scrolls, Zonko's, and Honeydukes. Am I missing a stop?"
