“Come on. I’ve only got half of my list checked off.”
“But ‘Mione,” Harry complains. “We’ve been shopping for hours.”
“Oh, it hasn’t been that long,” Hermione retorts, pushing through the crowd. “I still have to find something for Ron.”
“Well, that should be easy enough.”
“You would think so,” Hermione sighs. “I wanted to bake him something, like a nice holiday cake, but I can’t find a proper recipe.”
“Why don’t you just ask Molly?” Harry dodges a flustered mother as she chases after her wayward child. “She makes a really delicious yule log cake with the best chocolate buttercream.” Harry’s mouth waters at the thought.
“Oh, I don’t think so.” Hermione aggressively shakes her head. “I went over the Burrow a few months back for a little baking instruction. Let’s just say several hours and a lot of frustration later, I decided cooking wasn’t my thing. Well, she decided for me. Things were tense for weeks after that. I don’t fancy a repeat performance.”
“Yeah, forget that.” Harry chuckles ruefully.
“Oh!” Hermione brightens. “But maybe I could get a recipe book at that new bookshop. Should we stop by?”
“No.” Harry shrugs his shoulders dejectedly. “Malfoy’s not working today.”
“Huh,” Hermione says coyly. “I didn’t realise the shop closed down when Malfoy isn’t there.”
“Er, nevermind,” Harry replies, flustered.
“Oh, Harry,” Hermione remarks fondly, looping her arm around Harry’s. “Come on, let’s keep shopping.”
