WHO Hermione Weasley & Angelina Johnson. WHERE Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. WHEN One evening last week after work. WHAT Hermione & Angelina chat for a bit while the kids play in the store. RATING Low. STATUS Incomplete. OOC Sorry this is so late!
As soon as Hermione walked through the door of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, both Rose and Hugo broke free of the grip she'd had on their hands and ran toward the new product display. Over the weekend, she'd promised them that they'd made a trip to the store this week, but they had both taken that to mean they would be able to go as soon as she got off of work on Monday. So after a day spent in the office arguing with Jenkins overs contracts that needed to be redone, here she was in the middle of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes letting her kids pick out the things they wanted, all of which would no doubt be used as pranks against her later.
"Don't play with the products on display, Hugo," she called over to him as he reached out to pick something up. Rose pulled his hand away and gave Hermione an innocent look, confirming that she had been the one that told her brother to touch it in the first place. "Why don't you find Uncle George and see if he has anything for you to test in the back?" she suggested, internally cringing at the thought of what they'd be covered in when they came back out. Last week George had sent the kids home with blue hands that didn't come clean for three days.
Making her way through the small crowd of pre-Hogwarts children and their parents, Hermione smiled at the people she knew and murmured "excuse me" when she bumped into someone pulling their child away from bottles of love potions. She was almost to the back of the store when she saw Angelina off to her left. "Hi Angelina," she greeted as she stopped beside her neighbor in a less crowded part of the store.
