Who: Hermione Granger and Neville Longbottom What: Book shopping When: Wednesday morning Where: Flourish and Blotts
It definitely wasn't unusual to see Hermione Granger in a bookstore, but the section she was in wasn't one that anyone would have found her in before. Looking through the pregnancy and baby books felt really strange to her and she felt like an imposter in that section. She was much more comfortable going through volumes on runes or potions ingredients, and didn't even know where to start amongst all the pink and blue books with cartoon storks on the front. Apparently those were universal.
Molly Weasley had told her she shouldn't even be looking at books, advising her that she'd managed seven children without turning a page. But it was second nature to Hermione to try and gather as much information as possible, especially in this form. Still, standing back a little from the shelves, she didn't think she had ever been so overwhelmed by a bit of reading.
