And even odder still to think she was old enough and 'grown up' enough to have two 2 year olds.
Where in the world HAD the time gone?
The nostalgia of summer time shopping with current Hogwarts students wouldn't have been unwelcome to her, but considering today was the day the girls dads could take them, she'd decided that made it the perfect day for a new tattoo idea she'd been mulling over for some time. She had just finished getting the animated baby brown bear playing with a koi fish within a pond - two critters that reminded her of her two children - and was making her way through the south side of the street when Kimmie had happened to glance down to fish into her pockets for a piece of gum when she'd happened upon another person and accidentally brushed into them.
Right on her new tattoo, which was smarting much more than she would have willingly admitted.
With a sharp intake of breath, she refrained from reaching for the spot on her arm and instead turned her attention towards the other individual. She was ready to offer apology, but she was distracted when she realized it was a familiar face - and amusement stole over her features. "Daniel Broadmoor? Fancy seeing you out and about in sunlight!" Daniel’s mission to the Apothecary was promptly disturbed by a nudge from another human. Ordinarily in his youth, the man would have berated them for daring to invade his personal space and the poor recipient, whether it was accidental or not, may have been subjected to a hex or too. In recent years, he was able to control his temper much more easily. The victim instead received one of his scowls which quite frankly was equally as terrifying as seeing him with his wand withdrawn. The look softened a fraction however when the other person started to speak and actually knew his name.
The voice of his mother rang around his head. ‘You have to treat the Amsterns with respect. They are practically your cousins.’ The thirty-one year old sighed inaudibly. “Kimberly.” The greeting was short and frank but at least it was respectful. As for the statement about him being out in the sunlight, Daniel couldn’t help the sneer from escaping his lips. “You speak as if I am a Vampire.” Daniel would never lower himself to that. “Unfortunately Diagon Alley is the only location I am able to get a certain ingredient for my potions. I thought I’d better get it over with before the children returned.” Daniel was yet to have any nieces or nephews and so his experience with children was limited nor did he have the patience to deal with them and their neediness.
If he was being completely honest, the former Slytherin couldn’t keep up with the Amstern children and their lives. He might’ve been one of five himself but listening to his mother talking about these large families was not his idea of entertainment. He knew there were several grandchildren in the family but who had what child was completely beyond him. Despite not being a people person, Daniel was also quite intuitive and noticed the wince from Kimmie immediately upon turning around. His eyes glanced down to her arm. “I’m assuming you are here for that?” His father Freddie had inked himself in his youth often, Daniel had however decided never to tarnish his body with such things.
