Griphook takes a breath and finally calms down.

"I know Harry. I was just worried." He wipes the tear from my eye, which is odly comforting.

I calm down a little and stop shaking.

"Look it is 8:45 now so you have a little time to go out, but be back by 9:20. I want you here before they show up."

He slightly tilts his head at me emphasizing

"Ok I will be back soon." I smile and head out.

As I step onto the stone road, I try and find a shop that interests me.

Ultimately, I go into a random shop.

As I browse the shelves, some of them

levitating on their own, I don't see

anything that stands out.

I cast a quick tempus charm to see the time. 8:52 am.

I make sure toset an alarm for 9:10am so I can get back in time.

I look in my wallet to make sure I have muggle money and apparate to muggle London.

I appear in an empty alleyway, good.

It can be a bit messy when a muggle happens to be around.

It only takes a simple obliviation spell, however, their have been muggles known to realize the time lapse.

And a lot of them tend to do more digging than they ought to.

I put my wand back in my sleeve and walk into my favorite shop. Spencers.

I come in often enough, so the staff have gotten to know me quite well.

"Hi Lisa." I wave.

"How do you- Harry?" Her face a mix of shock and awe.

"Ya I've changed a bit." I laugh looking at the chokers as she examines me.

" Come here I haven't seen you in ages!"

I laugh and walk over.

We hug, or more I hug her and she squeezes the life out of me.

"Lisa, let, me, breathe." I gasp out.

" Oh, I'm sorry.... Your hair is so beautiful, and your eyes. Those can't be contacts. I may be a squib but I can tell when someone's been through a creature inheritance."

She says, all the while touching around my face and body like I'm a doll.

I laugh at her enthusiasm.

"Why thank you."

"Anyways what are you looking for today." She asks.

"Chokers" I smile.

"Okay let me get the good ones from the back."

I look at some of the shirts while I wait.

One says Fuck You Very Much, I laugh and debate on getting it.

Lisa comes back with a large pile of chokers.

I gasp at the magnitude she brought out.

"Lisa I told you to stop hiding the good chokers for me, their are like 50 chokers here!!" I fake whine.

"Actually 73 but who's counting?" She smirks. I roll my eyes and buy them all.

Along with the silly shirt of course.

"Thanks Lisa, I think I'm gonna be set on chokers for the rest of my life."

She just laughs. I grab a couple bottles of nail polish and put them on the counter.
