Zephyrs' Day Out (Zephyr Family)

[Deleted]

(Going to post as Alpin and Viona in the same posts, so just tag Alpin when you post)

As Alpin...

Alpin owned a shop and Donalda owned a shop, so there weren't too many times when both were able to have a full free day together. However, since they did today, Alpin felt that it would be a wonderful idea to travel to Hogsmeade to meet up with the son and daughter for some lunch and a walk around the village, perhaps even get a gander at the old school. The main reason was of course seeing his dear children again. Alpin and Donalda had only recently adopted Walker, so their time together before school began was so short and precious. Alpin couldn't wait all the way until winter holidays to see him again.

So Alpin and Donalda took the train to Hogsmeade and anxiously awaited them in the planned meeting spot in the center of the village.

As Viona...

Viona practically bolted to Hogsmeade. She was so excited. A whole day with the entire family! It would be so wonderful. She finally stopped near the village center, catching her breath. She then ran again when she saw her parents.

"MUM! DAD!" she yelled, landing in their arms. "I missed you both!"

At first they had spoken about going down together, but the excitement had proved too much and Viona had started to speed up and then run when he had begun trotting. laughing he had kept to a decent pace enough to keep her in sight, but he had no wish to race her. When she ran into the village and had to stop, he managed to get within ten feet and had slowed to a walk when she spotted their parents and started to run again. Grinning he raised his hands as if to say 'Oh come on' and followed her at a light trot letting her get her first greetings in.

With a broad smile he hugged his mother first tightly in greeting and then his father when Viona let go of them enough for him to do so. "I've missed you too, of course, but I'm a shadow compared to V's excitement! I've taken to calling this one the energizer bunny because she has so much energy..." he chuckled which was more then a little amusing since he was the one who could never sit still. But Viona's delight at having him around tended to offset his energy levels so it was about the same thing. Ruffling Viona's hair with affection he glanced around at the area before speaking more.

"I'm glad you all wanted to do this before the cooler weather moves in. I understand it gets pretty thick with snow down here..." This was his first time ever in the village and he thought it looked pretty small. He saw the roof however and knew this place was definitely built for heavy snow fall. "Sis promised she would be my tour guide when we came, but what all did you have in mind for today?" He doubted either of his new parents realized he had never been to Hogsmeade before, but his words should take care of that.

At least now he had a place to send a permission slip too...
