Ewan moved a little closer, picking up a book as an excuse to ease drop when he heard the girl mention something about hand me downs. Ewan didn't mind hand me downs. Epecially wizard hand me downs. He had soooooo much to learn he didn't care where it came from.

Ewan walked over to the group. Hesitantly, Ewan coughed "Uh.. excuse me. Do you know where the first year books are kept?". Ewan knew where they were kept but he had a slight inkling that the girl who mentioned the hand me downs was in her first year too!.

Family shopping was kind of boring too, as he'd rather go off and do his own thing, and maybe take Chloe, or even Morgan, with him.

"I hope so," he said, not all that quietly to his sister when she asked about other books. Sure, he was eager to see what new spells he'd be learning this year, but he also wanted something fun while they were out. It wouldn't be too much to just add a little something extra as a treat for each of them, would it? The twelve year old shrugged a little and glanced towards the list in his mother's hands. He couldn't read it from where he was and didn't feel like asking to see it, but he doubted it would have changed since last year. "Yeah, I think so. I'm sure you have all the same classes that I had last year." So yeah, she could use the books he already had.

But before he could mention anything about taking his sister to go look at extra books while his parents picked up their compulsory textbooks, a boy approached his sister about looking for the first year books. He raised an eyebrow and watched somewhat protectively, wondering why the kid wouldn't ask one of the shopkeepers and not his sister. But as the boy had approached Chloe, he'd let her answer.

Morgan hated this! Normally, he wouldn't mind going to Diagon Alley as long as they were doing something fun because he liked magic. But he hated the boring shopping and even more, he hated the fact that not only was Gunnar going off to Hogwarts again, but now Chloe was too! Sure, he liked being the baby of the family and getting the most attention, but he didn't like feeling left behind.

"Can't we get ice cream after this?" he said, somewhat whining to his mum as he dragged his feet along behind them. "And I want a book too!" It wasn't fair that his siblings were getting new things and not him. Even if he didn't like reading all that much. He stopped though when some boy started talking to Chloe and he eyed him warily as he moved closer to Gunnar.

She gave a huff about not needing any new books, she really wanted to buy her own books, but her mother said that even though they had the money there was really no need to buy more books that they already had, that it was using recourses and all that, really she would just ask her grandparents, they would buy her the books... maybe.

"We should ask before we have to follow them around for your books. I don't want to have to follow them everywhere." Were the other kids being with their parents or was it just the McCarthy's? She knew that she ddn't want to go too far from her parents, but she didn't want to just be with them all day either.

Looking at Morgan she grinned, "Ice cream is a great..." That comment never finished because soon there was another boy near them asking questions. She found it interesting that he picked her out of everyone to ask. She clearly was the same age, but maybe she looked important or even knowledgeable. This made her stand a little straighter.

"Oh yes, we know where all those books are. My brother had them last year didn't you Gunnar." She pointed out her now second year brother all proudly. "We can take you to them. This is my brother Gunnar and my brother Morgan, I'm Chloe, what's your name?"
