Alicia was well aware that if she just waved her wand a couple of times followed up with a murmured incantation she could have shrunk the bags she was carrying to fit in her purse. But… Honestly? There was something satisfying about carrying the three bags, and it wasn’t like they were particularly heavy, and even more honestly? The risk of them disappearing in her purse was a great deal bigger than her losing the actual, real-sized bags.

Once inside Finnigan’s she order lunch and a big cup of coffee, before she found a seat where she could see the room. Just in case.

“It’s really not that hard!” Alicia laughed; as much as she loved doing some things alone and enjoyed the occasional shopping trip on her own, she loved being with Liam and Isla even more. Besides, it was her life, and it had been her life for the past six years. “Petrificus Totalus and other variations of bodybinds are really handy. As are calming potions,” she joked with a nonchalant shrug. Those solutions, however, weren’t any she had ever applied to her children and she was pretty sure that Susan knew that. “You know, same tactics as capturing dark wizards. Are you joking, Bones? How could you possibly think that that’s any easier than what I do?”

“Well, we don’t have the same skiing opportunities either, so it’s really… That made the hip-deep snow seem like no problem at all.” Looking at Susan she smiled at the compliment; yes, Adrian probably was lucky to have her, but he wasn’t the only lucky one in this. She was lucky to have met him, to have been given a second chance to get to know the man who had been a right git back in school, and not only that, but he had given her a chance to, which had led to him becoming such an important part of her and the twins’ life. “King’s College,” she said, mentally shaking off her reverie, “so I’m staying in town. It’d be silly to try for somewhere else, when that’s one of the best places to learn, right? What’s happening in your life? I’m ashamed of how long it’s been.”

Susan snorted again and gave Alicia a once over with mock seriousness. "I don't need to report you do I," she asked with a smirk. "I mean cursing and drugging your children is one thing, but actually enjoying their company is totally against the pureblood ideal," she teased. She arched an eyebrow and gave a delicate shrug. "Well, for one thing you actually care about your children, whereas I only care about the people I apprehend in the most superficial sense of not injuring them beyond repair unless I absolutely have to, so really it's a lot easier for you... Or possibly harder?"

"Well yes," she conceded with a nod. "London isn't generally known for it's skiing." She watched the pleasure of having someone in her life bloom on Alicia's face, and felt a momentary pang of self-pity and jealousy that was crushed with an iron fist almost as soon as it appeared. She was happy for Alicia, truly! With a mental shake of her head, she refocused on her friend. "That's really good," she said with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. "Plus I totally get the staying in London thing! Not that travelling magically would have been too great of a chore, but better to keep things easy." She thought about Alicia's question for a moment before shrugging. "Not all that much really! I've moved completely into the new house, done two years worth of stints at Azkaban on guard duty, spent some time dating a lovely collection of floozies, and I've started going to the gym? Oh and I'm up for a spot on the Wizengamot apparently?"
