Liv felt vey busy this last week. She was busy with her bakery and today she was taking a little bit of a break and doing some needed shopping. It was a nice and relaxing day even though the weather wasn't the best at least it was just cloudy and not raining. In some ways it felt good. Liv was dressed in a nice pair of jeans, a black shirt, a nice brown coat and a green scarf. It was a very comfortable outfit which made Liv feel confident when she walked into the Quidditch shop.

Liv did not normally go into Quality Quidditch because that was more of Alicia's thing but Liv wanted to check in to see if she could get a few miniature balls to use to look at when baking something she wanted to bake themed with Quidditch. When Liv walked in she made a point to find the toy section because she thought that it would have miniature balls and other miniature Quidditch type stuff.

While she was looking at some of the toys she felt someone standing what felt a little closer than normal to her that moment. She looked to the side to see who it was.

Oliver was not having a good day. Majority of Oliver's days tended to be a bit rubbish but to they was worse than most. It had all started with his mother owling him about Christmas and coming home. Independently of Christmas whenever Oliver received an owl from his parents - esspecially his mother, mind you - it was not a good sign, but around Christmas time that usually also implied that he was expected to come home. Which Oliver would, because his siblings were also pressured in going home and as much as Oliver disliked his parents, he loved his siblings. And he was aware that they'd probably kill him if he didn't go.

To make the day worse, the fact that Oliver did have to go home for Christmas also meant that Oliver needed presents. Usually, Oliver did not shop. That's what he had a well paid job for - to get someone to shop for him. But he did think that Christmas presents were too personal to send someone else to get them. He had considered it, nonetheless. Diagon Alley had been packed by the time Oliver got there so he took the one out he knew - a Quidditch shop. He did genuinely walk over to the souvenir stand because he was sure his family would hate Quidditch based Christmas presents. The day had been awful so, yes, Oliver did consider ruining Christmas with shit presents.

He was looking at toys - not just any toys, but the 'Oliver Wood' dolls, because, obviously that's what you get your crazy mother - a doll of yourself, when he accidentally brushed against someone. He apologised before even looking up, but when he did, he recognised Liv. Oliver had never really spoken to Liv much. Obviously he knew her because she was Alicia's (favourite) sister but Oliver wasn't exactly known for his people skills. In fact he was mostly known for being 'socially awkward' because he was far too nice to be called an 'antisocial mess'.

"Liv!" Oliver exclaimed giving the woman a smile. "I haven't seen you in ages. How you been? How's the bakery?" That was possibly the most sentences Oliver had said in one go to her. Ever. "I might've had coffee," he remarked.
