Hannah entered the grocery shop with a sigh.
Doing the shopping for three was an endless chore, especially when two of the three were growing boys. Hannah began to wonder where they left all the food. She pulled at the waistband of her trousers. She had gained a few pounds since she had moved, mainly thanks to Ernie and her pretty good dinner but also because whenever one of them was in the kitchen, there was something to snack on the table, and it hardly was the healthy version.

She just started her way into the shop with a cart when she heard a loud rumble from the produce section and a coconut had to a stop in front of her favorite trainers. She picked it up and stared at it before she shook herself and started to where she had heard the rumble.

Kevin stood there in a heap of coconuts. He looked confused. Hannah hurried over. "Kevin! What happened? Are you alright?"

Kevin turned as he heard a familiar voice and saw Hannah. He blushed and smiled uncomfortably, waving at her. He looked around himself and scratched the back of his head. "M fine, I guess." he said in a soft voice, probably not loud enough for Hannah to hear. He knew it a rude of him to not greet Hannah properly, especially since she seemed concerned with him, so he turned to look at her again.

He realised he looked stupid, standing in the middle of coconuts, but for some reason it was like he was frozen. "Hi, Hannah." he said, giving his former classemate a shy smile.

Hannah grinned when she saw Kevin standing amongst the coconuts. It was amusing. It was obvious to Hannah that Kevin was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

She heard him mumble and assumed that he was okay. She smiled in greeting and then pulled out her wand. "Let's clean this, shall we?" She summoned the spilled coconuts, lifted and reassembled them by magic, very carefully setting them.

When the shop assistant came running, Hannah had already cast a stabilization charm on her pile. "There, no harm done." She smiled at the two males, extremely proud of herself.

Kevin looked admiringly at Hannah, grateful it was someone he knew and not some stranger. "Thank you." he said softly, his blush not quite gone as he gave the shop assistant an uncomfortable smile. "Good thing I only needed one," he mumbled quietly, putting it in his basket. He looked at Hannah and bit his lower lip, running out of stuff to say.

"I don't come here all that often," Kevin admitted. It was true that lately he had pretty much stopped going out and locked himself in his room with books. "I don't go out much at all."

Hannah grinned. "Na, me neither but of none of us can get his hiney off the couch, we decide to treat ourselves to dinner here. Great stew." Hannah closed her eyes and moaned lightly.

"It is just different going for a butterbeer in the pub or if you just pull it out of the icebox...." Hannah laughed. "Guess I am pretty spoiled that way."

Kevin nodded, agreeing with her last statement. "Yes I prefer to come here and have a Butterbeer, it reminds me of those Hogsmeade trips." he answered, smiling fondly at the memories.

Hannah shrugged. "That feeling has worn off for me, I am living in Hogsmeade now. At first, it was all exciting and great but now, it is just normal... not boring, just nothing special anymore. Diagon Alley however is still an adventure."
