When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.
Mrs. Rani Patil had looked fairly relieved when, after some days of sulking, Parvati rather ruefully came to her and asked permission for Padma and herself to go into the magical district of Juniper on a shopping trip. "Nothing we have at all is in fashion here, Mum, and cousin Amiya said we might meet up with her and some of her friends to look at the sales in the bazaar..."
Hoping that perhaps Parvati was warming to the idea of life outside of the United Kingdom, Mrs. Patil gave her daughter some spending money and instructions on how to floo to a popular coffee house on the edge of the bazaar. "Make sure to be home before dinner!" she admonished Parvati. "Remember that we're having your Uncle Rai over..."
