It was too humid and muggy to bother with more lessons for the day, seeing as Gabriel couldn't sit still a moment longer and Remus was quickly running out of patience. Finally, he resigned himself to ending the afternoon's session on basic mathematics and instead offering a trip to Flourish and Blotts to pick out some new work books.

Gabriel, eager to get out of the house, was enthusiastic about the idea and practically tugged his father into the fire as soon as the Floo powder hit the flames. The pair wandered the busy streets of Diagon, with Gabe pressing his small face to the windows to stare at the display of owls at the pet shoppe and to whine a little at the sight of a fantastic new toy at Arbelle's Amazing Amusements. Remus urged him on with the promise of ice cream at Fortescue's before they returned home.
