It wasn't long before the young brunette dragged the older blonde toward the sweet shop, chattering non stop the entire way. It wasn't every day that you had to load up on sweets for a train ride and an entire school semester. He may have had Harlow, Lumi, Cecily, and Luna all promise to send him plenty of goodies to hold him over for his time away from them, making sure to discuss with each sister privately in order to maximize his care package quota. He had yet to get his parents in on it too but you best believe he'd be sweet talking them into sending stuff too.
He only stopped his chatter to inhale the sweet smell of... well.. sweets, giving Lumi a bright eyed literal-kid-in-a-candy-shop look as he bolted into the store, heading for the gum first. He needed something to chew as he loaded his basket with everything else.
The best thing about turning fourteen, her sister graduating and having a heavily pregnant Ma was that Aurora now had the freedom to go to Diagon Alley by herself. That decision was probably stupid in that Aurora and an assignment of money was likely not to be trusted. The good thing was that a lot of her textbooks she needed she either already had or could be handed down from Ariadne and therefore the galleons she had in her pocket were effectively disposable.
Sensible wasn’t exactly in her vocabulary and off to Sugarplums she skipped with the intention of buying a whole plethora of sweets that her Mum’s wouldn’t usually allow her to have, sugar being bad for her and all. But her Ma in her ready to pop state had been indulging in a sweet treat or two herself, she’d found the wrappers in the bin that morning.
The bell above the door rang as she pushed it open only to see a surprisingly empty store with the exception of a small child who looked almost as excited over the candy as she did. Poor kid didn’t know what was coming.
“HI SMALL CHILD” the blonde beamed.
