Tam Time Ep. 6: Sibling Shopping (Lisa)

[Deleted]

Ronny remembered it well- the crazy last minute shopping before it was time to head to Hogwarts. While he was glad he was no longer a part of it, that didn't stop him from offering to go with his sister Lisa when their parents had important business suddenly arise and couldn't go themselves. Ronny's family was close to his heart and he had always cared a great deal for Lisa. The same brother-like friendship he extended to Athena Persephone, he showed equally, if not more so, for his real sister.

It was kind of fun getting into the whole pre-Hogwarts shopping dealy again now that he wasn't the one having to do the shopping. If anything, he could smooth a shopowner over if Lisa found herself having a hard time acquiring a certain book or other item. As he walked about and noticed friendly looks from various mothers... and not so friendly looks from the fathers, he turned to Lisa.

"So, Indy, ready for another year?" he asked. "I mean obviously not supply wise yet, but... well you know what I mean. And you know I've got to be concerned for my sister when she goes off to school. So, you know, mentally are you ready?"

Indy was walking with her brother down the streets of diagon alley because her parents were too busy doing whatever it was that they were doing. Not that she minded, she was in her own little world, she was like that. Indy saw the world through, honest eyes though she was slightly naive in her findings she was always honest. When it came to her personality and how she acted around her family however....she was secretive. Perhaps it was because she felt that as the youngest and only girl she had to keep at least a small part of her a secret. Even if that was the only part of her that was kept to herself.

"Yes, i'm ready fifth year should be fun, studying for owls and all." she said a bit airily as she watched the people go about their business. She pretend not to notice the people giving her brother looks, she had learned to ignore them. She nodded towards the book shop and figured they get all the boring stuff done first. "Come on, we have to get there before the other claws take all the good books."

Ronny played it cool regarding the looks, whether they be from single or taken women. This trip wasn't for him to pick up a date. It was to help Indy get ready for a very important year of school. Though he was a Gryffindor, he was quite proud that Indy was sorted into Ravenclaw. The girl was brilliant, probably smarter than he was now. She was also talented as well. Granted, he felt there was a mystery about her as well, something she was hiding. But at the same time, he respected her private life and would never pry into it unless he knew she was in genuine trouble.

"You'll pass those owls with flying colors, my genius sister," he said. "I certainly have faith in you."

He then nodded as she suggested the book store first. He was happy that she wanted to go ahead and get that one out of the way. Ronny wasn't against the act of literacy, but book stores themselves were extremely dull, especially one famous for selling school books.

"Sounds like a plan," he said. "How about we do some shopping, then grab some food at the Leaky Cauldron? I'd like to have a brother/sister chat with you before you leave me for a few months."

Indy nodded, she wasn't exactly worried about her studies, she knew she would pass if nothing else. She was more focused on her music if she was being honest with herself. She wanted to go to Flourish and Botts not only for her school books but also books on animagi, she wanted to learn that this year. She knew her brother was one and that he could give her a few pointers but also that it was semi-dangerous.

"That sounds like a plan. Oh, i'm going to try and be come a animagus" She said as they entered the book store, it wasn't completely crowded, perhaps they had avoided the rush by coming early. She w.as hoping that everything would be as vacant as the book shop, crowds were always a hassle

"So how about we split up, i get half and you get half and we ditch this place?"

Okay maybe she wasn't the stereotypical Ravenclaw, but she did like her books every know and then.

Ronny smiled and nodded as Indy said she wanted to try to be an Animagus like him.

"That's awesome," he said. "And trust me, once you get the hang of it, morphing is like riding a broom." Ronny quickly changed into a hawk, flew about for a moment, then changed back. "See what I mean."

He then chuckled as Indy mapped out the book buying plan. He had a good idea of what her list was given he had similar classes his Fifth Year.

"Alright, little lady, let's do this thing!" he said, more than happy to make the book shop visit as fast as possible. He wanted to make sure Indy got everything, but at the same time, he wanted to grab some food for his dog King from the Menagerie.

Making his way over, he grabbed the books, assuring the female employees that he didn't need help. Some returned to their work, but others stuck around and asked him the same question a few times. Ronny was polite in telling them no again. The last thing he wanted was his sister having to wait because he was picking up some pretty bookshop girl.

Finally, he made his way back over to Indy.

"Alright, I think I got everything," he said.
