One of the nice things about being Muggleborn was that it was much easier to keep your parents in the dark about what was going on in the magical world. Justin had merely told his mum that he was going out to get his school things and after that, there had been some brief haggling over how much he truly needed in terms of money for this trip to Diagon.
Being able to apparate was definitely nice. Justin appeared outside of Gringott's right around the time he'd said he would meet Padma, popping inside to change out Muggle money for the Wizarding kind before making his way to the Leaky where he'd said he would meet her.
He smiled as he caught sight of her standing there, playing with her necklace. It was an oddly beautiful picture and he found himself wishing he had a camera to capture the moment on film.
"Hullo, Padma," he greeted her as he got closer. "Parvati didn't ditch you already, did she?" He was teasing, but he had to admit that if it was going to be just the two of them for awhile, he wouldn't hate it.
