"Do we need anything else from Honeydukes?"

"My grandmother is the same way" Millie laughed. "I need some fudge for my grandfather. I can't think of anything else. My mom is a baker, so she always up to her eyes in sweets. Maybe I can get her some of those tea leaves she likes from Madam Puddifoot's shop."

Sam tossed back her hood as she looked around at the shelves of neatly labeled potion ingredients, and vials of finished concoctions. "I have no idea what to get for my pa, last year I made him a broomstick stand.... I'll have to try to get some ideas while we wander around. I think I'm gonna get one of those self stirring cauldrons for my ma. Man, she'd love this place.

"That's awesome that you were able to make a broomstick stand. Oh a self stirring cauldron sounds good. Don't think either of me folks would use one sadly. Me dad's an Unspeakable. 'E won't say what 'e does and no one asks. Mum makes Quidditch supplies."

( ) "I don't think we are missing anything. I am sure Roman () would tell me if we did. If anything I can always just tell Mr. Flume and they can add it to my delivery. I do need to stop for some Galleons at the Gringott's branch here. I can cat ch up with you wherever you go next. I need to get some gifts and I need quills and parchment for myself. I also think I need a planner. I have soooooo much going on! I am using too much parchment trying to catch up.

"No problem. In the meanwhile, I can make a quick stop at grocer's and I can catch up with everyone as well. That's if no one needs anything from there"

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/JUzZSfU.png[/img]"I actually need to stop by Gringotts too. I'm running low on money. I underestimated how much I would need today."

"Okay, I'll swing over to the grocery while you two are in Gringotts. Where shall we meet up?"

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/JUzZSfU.png[/img]"Let's meet in front of Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop. Does that sound okay?" she asked and Millie ().

[img align=left]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uye1LcX3z1g/VjgxJmo4ZRI/AAAAAAAAADw/cMEvRED_5jc/s250-Ic42/Roman%252520ii.png[/img]"It's great meeting you too," Roman explained to Millie. "Chocoballs are the best--er, I mean, they used to be," he agreed with Beth and Millie, thinking back to old times (, ).

As they entered the candy shop, he shook Emmy's hand () and noticed her icy expression. "I take it that you're not used to being around ghosts? I'll try not to spook you too much," he laughed, hoping to show her how normal he was. "You should try out! I've heard they'll have a few openings next year."

He walked into the store with his friends and glared at the mountains of different flavored sugar quills. He zoomed above the crowd, looking around for the Fudge Flies. "Could you please grab me a package before we leave?" he asked , nodding toward the nearly empty corner that was filled with gruesome candies.

"Sounds good to me. I'll see you over there" Millie said.

"Chocoballs really are the best. My grandparents live in Germany and they think Honeyduke's are the best." Millie told Roman.

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/JUzZSfU.png[/img]Beth paid for her candy and bagful of chocoballs. Before heading out, she turned to Roman () and Millie () and told them, "I'll see you in a few!"

( ) "Do you only want one package of the flies?" Gaia said as she rushed through the crowd of students to get to the corner.

"Beth, I think that would be great! I will be there in a few once I finish getting stuff."

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/JUzZSfU.png[/img]"I can wait for you outside Gringotts, that way we can ride the same cart. I'll see you soon," she told Gaia and waved goodbye.

[img align=left]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uye1LcX3z1g/VjgxJmo4ZRI/AAAAAAAAADw/cMEvRED_5jc/s250-Ic42/Roman%252520ii.png[/img]"I could use some skeletal pops for my siblings too, please," he murmered to , pointing toward the candies. "I've got a bag of sickles hidden in the common room," he added, hoping it would be okay to pay her when they returned.

"Did you find everything you need here?" he added, watching as Gaia filled her arms with different candies.

Millie waved and made her way down to the grocer's. She went in and got everything she needed to make cookies before leaving for Berlin for the break. She couldn't wait to see her grandparents. Although they were muggles, they had always been supportive and proud of her.

After getting all the supplies she needed, she quickly made her way down to Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop.

"That's awesome making a broomstick stand," Paddy replied, "Self-stirring cauldrons are a great idea too. Uncle's been using one for a while, and he says he wouldn't want to go back to having to stir the thing himself! I've no idea what to get him or my parents either, unless I get him another shelving unit to store all his potions on."

Turning to Magnus she added "that's neat that he's an Unspeakable. I've heard of them, but never met any of 'em. I've never seen a game of Quidditch before - I'll have to read up on the rules and try to watch the next match."

"Guess we'll just have to look at some other shops then, see if we get some ideas for 'em. Yeah Dad says some people are rather scare o' Unspeakables which is a load of toss cos 'e's a great bloke. Not seen a game meself either." Was it odd his mother made Quidditch supplies and he hadn't seen a game?

"Sounds good, what shop shall we head to next?" Paddy was willing to let Magnus and Sam make the decisions, as she had a feeling she'd get them all lost if she was in charge. "That must be hard with people being scared of them - I mean we know what that's like, but for people to be scared of them because of their job?" Paddy was surprised that Magnus hadn't seen a Quidditch game, but from what he'd said, he hadn't been with the Lees for very long, "did she at least teach you the rules of Quidditch?"

"'Ow 'bout Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop or Tomes and Scrolls? I reckon they might be a good place to look for some presents." He nodded, "If people don't know what you do, they come up with all crazy ideas and such. Yeah, mum had me on Dad's broom before you could say learn to fly. She taught me the rules and said if I liked it she will outfit me." He laughed, "she's brutal though, for a nice lady she plays dirty."
