Chapter Seven, Shopping

Two weeks later all the Malfoys had moved into Grimauld Place without raising suspicion as Lucius had told those around him that he was taking Narcissa and Draco away for the rest of the summer and thankfully Voldemort had brought it when they had told him and hadn't contacted them since they left Malfoy Manor. Today though, it was Honor's sixteenth birthday and they were going to Diagon Alley in the morning for their school stuff and new clothes for Honor and the baby. And in the evening they'd be having a small family party to celebrate her birthday as she never got to do it at the Dursleys.

Slowly Honor made her way into the kitchen feeling like crap as her stomach churned due to morning sickness she'd already thrown up everything until there was nothing left but yet her stomach still clenched painfully as she sat down in the chair with a soft moan resting her head on the table. "Morning pup." Sirius greeted from the seat next to her at the head of the table. Honor moaned in reply waving her hand at him telling him to be quiet. "Here Honor," Narcissa said resting one hand on her back while holding out a vile. "Andy left this for you."
"Thank you." Honor sighed happily as the nausea subsided and she could finally sit up without fear of throwing up all over the table.

It was then that she finally got a good look at Narcissa, Draco and Lucius none of them had their platinum blonde hair and blue, grey eyes instead they had black hair and brown eyes and looked completely unlike themselves that if she hadn't heard Narcissa speak she'd panic that there were strangers in her house. Looking to Draco who sat next to her she could see that he was pouting slightly over his glamour charm and she had to stifle a laugh but by the glare he sent her she was unsuccessful in that endeavour. "Morning dad, papa." Honor greeted hugging them and kissing their cheeks. "Morning Dray." She greeted kissing his cheek which wiped the pout off of his face pretty quick as he returned her greeting kissing her softly on the lips before she greeted his parents.

"How're you feeling now cub?" Remus asked placing a glass of orange juice and some dry toast in front of her he knew that her stomach couldn't handle much in the mornings even after taking the potion. "I'm feeling a bit better thanks Papa." Honor said thanking him for her breakfast. Once everyone had finished their breakfast Sirius put a large box in front of his daughter with a wide smile on his face. "Now, I know we were planning to give you your presents later but I wanted to give you this one now. Go on open it."

Looking at dad curiously Honor slowly undid the ribbon and wrapping paper, pushing aside she opened the lid of the box with a small gasp tears filling her eyes that she refused to let fall. Carefully taking the golden lily locket out she opened it up seeing a picture of her and her parents when she was a tiny baby, most likely a couple of days after she'd been born. "That was your mother's locket James got it for her when you were born I thought you'd like to have it, and the watch in there is your father's Lily got it for him for the same reason I think it has the same picture in it." Sirius told her as he knelt beside her taking out the watch and pocket watch showing her the picture on the inside of the lid of the pocket watch. "Thank you Dad." Honor said her voice hoarse with her emotions as tears ran down her face as she hugged her father tightly.

"You came early into this world Lily, Remus and I were worried you wouldn't make it but James always said you'd be the strongest and best of them all and he was right. They'd be so proud of you pup of everything you've done, never doubt that. He also said you'd be the best Seeker for Gryffindor there was and your the youngest Seeker in a Century, I wonder if there's Seer blood in the Potter line." Sirius mused making Honor laugh. "I hope not. I don't want to turn out like Trelawney." She said giggling eliciting laughs from everyone at the table. "Did we miss something?" Tonks asked as she walked in followed by Andy and Ted.

"Sirius was just telling Honor about all the premonitions James made about her and he wondered if there was Seer blood in the Potter Line and Honor turned round says she hoped not as she didn't want to become like Sybil Trelawney." Remus explained laughing.
"Oh yes I remember." Andy said with a soft smile.
"Didn't you say love that Honor would be gorgeous one woman and have all the boys after her and James went right into one saying no boys were allowed near his Bambi until she was at least thirty." Ted said with a laugh as Remus and Sirius suddenly stopped laughing and glared at Draco who was also scowling at the table in thought.

"Well we agree with James on that one." Sirius said grossing his arms from where he was crouched on the floor Remus nodding his head in agreement. "Everyone loves Honor I've had a number of fights with Blaise and Theo when I heard them talking in the Common Room about her." Draco said crossing his arms. Honor shook her head at them as she got up from the table cradling her gifts generally in her arms. "Where are you going?" Sirius asked as he finally stood up. "I'm going to get dressed as I'm the only one still in my pyjamas." Honor said waving her hand to her shorts and strappy top pyjamas nodding his head Sirius kissed her on the forehead before she could leave.

After showering and doing all of her morning routines Honor walked back into her room wrapped in a towel as she looked through her wardrobe wondering what to wear. She finally decided to wear silver hot pants with a grey and black checkered, red rose covered cross back crop top that three quarter length sleeves paired with green and brown suede, medi high ankle boots. Once dressed she quickly put her hair in two French braids grabbing her black leather jacket- that her dad had brought her, and her bag that had an extension charm on it and made her way downstairs to the others who were now waiting in the Drawing Room.

"Are you ready pup?" Sirius asked as he saw Honor enter the room. Nodding her head as she put on her jacket and put her bag over her shoulder, she made her way over to stand beside her dad. "Right then Andy, Tonks and Ted have already gone on ahead and will meet us inside the Leaky Cauldron for lunch later. You'll be travelling with me Pup as I know you don't like the Floo you, your Papa and I will get your school things while Narcissa, Lucius and Draco get his and we'll meet up again at the Leaky Cauldron for lunch." Once Sirius had finished explaining the plan the Malfoys bid their farewell for now promising to meet up at one o'clock before they all floo'd to the Leaky Cauldron.

Four hours later they'd all finished their own personal shopping and Draco and Honor had gotten all of their school supplies they met up for a quick lunch before heading back out again after Dobby and Kreacher had taken their purchases back to Grimauld Place. This time they hit a couple of baby stores that were in Diagon Alley getting a couple of toys, clothes for the baby in neutral colours and maternity clothes for Honor to last her over her time at Hogwarts and other necessities the baby will need. But they soon came to realise that couldn't find any furniture that neither liked or could agree on so Andy and Ted led the group to Muggle London to the nearest baby store.

Upon entering the store they were swapped with how much one store could hold especially the Malfoys for they never step foot into Muggle London let alone shop in it. After roughly an hour of looking around the store at all the cots, Moses baskets, mobiles and other such things Honor and Draco finally decided on a cot and Moses basket that they would get double of to have one at Hogwarts in their room and one at Grimauld Place.

The Moses basket was a light dove grey colour with a stand underneath to hold toys and the like while the cot was made of cherry wood, the bedding and border for the cot was a jungle animal print design which would be neutral if they had a boy or a girl. They got some more clothes for their baby as well as a highchair, baby bath, pushchair, car seat (for when their travelling) and a number of other things the baby will need such as nappies, bottles, dummies and some toys. After everyone paid for an item Sirius decided to buy some items to decorate the nursery both at home and at Hogwarts. Though it was going to be a surprise for Honor so he had Remus distract her with more baby things he wanted to get his grandchild while Sirius paid for the rest. He would start on the nursery as soon as Honor went to bed which would be soon as he saw the large yawn she let out.

"Right come on you. Let's get you home." Sirius said wrapping his arm around his daughter's shoulders Remus on her other side. Thanking the shop assistants for their help they bid them goodbye and headed back to the Leaky Cauldron so they could floo back to Grimauld Place after a long day of shopping. After a small family dinner as Honor wanted to spend her sixteenth birthday with just her family she opened the rest of her presents; she'd gotten some more photos of her parents, defence against the dark arts Expedia trilogy books and a new leather jacket from her dad and papa.

Some jewellery, clothes for her and the baby and perfume from Andy and Ted; a training broom for her baby from Tonks; a golden locket that had a lion and a snake on it from Draco and from Narcissa and Lucius she'd received some books on pregnancy, and a magical belt that would protect her baby from harm while at Hogwarts. Nearly in tears Honor thanked everyone for her amazing gifts as Dobby took them up to her room to put them away for her as they had a pudding of Treacle Tart Honor's favourite. After a second helping that she insisted the baby wanted to everyone's amusement she took her potions and headed off to bed thankful for the large family she had now and that her morning sickness had been kept at bay that day and hoped every day would continue to be as peaceful as this one.
