They signed up to go out and said that they would be gone the entire day. Peter figured that they were likely to return sooner, but this way they'd have leeway. Once they arrived to the Leaky, they started walking, watching stores that didn't exist in their times, selling things that they wouldn't have even imagined. Peter was looking for the cameras now that he knew what to look for and pointed them out to Marly. There were cameras everywhere. "There's no way to Apparate without being caught," he said at a certain point.

They walked for hours until they found their ways to Piccadilly Circus. "Look! It's Fortnum & Mason. It's been there since the 19th century. Their sweets are amazing. We should have lunch somewhere and then on the way back we can buy some sweets, or maybe even sit down for tea. Mum used to take me at the end of the day. It's when they have to get rid of everything they made so everything is dirt cheap," he said, chuckling. "We can even get some tea for the castle. We couldn't afford it most times, but when things were on sale, we splurged."

Peter knew how complicated Sirius could be, but this wasn't the discussion to have with her while visiting the Muggle world, or possibly ever. It was Sirius' story to tell. Instead he concentrated on the journals and the difference between the Muggle world and the magical one.

"Oh definitely. Not sure how much time there will be with all that we have to do, but it'll be a nice side project." Together with the map and other things. Their side projects were becoming a full time job too. "Do you think they still exist? Maybe in the vault?" Where would they find magical cameras? "I never figured out if it was the cameras that were different, or if the filming process was different, but you needed old fashioned cameras because the magic would interfere with the batteries." He looked around at the many people with electronics. "Do we think we can even find cameras with no batteries? Merlin, I really feel out of time right now."

Still the feeling made him more determined. "We need to go in search of cameras with no batteries and then we need to find a way to develop the pictures. I'm guessing you need a dark room, but also a developing liquid. Do you have any idea how to do that? Because pictures sound brilliant."

He knew that this was just a stepping stone. "It can't be what keeps us together, though, because what happens when we find the vault? We all take what we want and goodbye? The only thing that will keep us together is making sure people start to rely on each other and start to care for each other. If you don't think you're wanted, then you fuck off like Glenda did."

"It sounds like everyone is going to be much busier, you especially" she remarked. Thinking about it, Marlene tapped her foot and considered. They could maybe see if they could have one sent to them, like the brooms and whatnots or they could maybe just make one. Or even barring that find one hidden away in one of the family homes of the people living in the castle. "We can always look and if not, I think we got a few options. And we are out of time," she said giving Peter a slight nudge.

"I know how to develop the pictures. I just don't know how to make the developing liquid but I'm sure we can sort all that out. If and when we get a camera. Pictures would be brilliant. "

"That's true, Pete. But I do like the idea of it being a start." Marlene figured a start was a start and with so many other things going on at the moment, just a few intermittent bright spots might help people start thinking of themselves as a group and not just a random collection of people thrown together. A sense of unity was important.

"What exactly happened when Glenda left?" She asked, genuinely interested.
