“This is our last stop on our run of errands and then I’m dropping you off to play with Gwen.” A mother said stepping into the Leaky Cauldron, as she looked down at the two kids behind her who beamed at the mention of Gwen, one of their best friends, and the daughter of their “Uncle” Chris. Kat Potter-Tripp laughed at the looks on two of her children’s faces. The other two were with their grandma and grandpa Potter, and as Gwen had requested a play day and her parents wanted to see their grandchildren so she had asked who wanted to stay and who wanted to go. Rebecca and John had agreed to go and play with Gwen.
Today Kat had let her hair flow down her back, so it reached just past the middle in soft waves. She wore a pair of black pants and brown sandals, paired with a white long sleeve shirt and a tan over jacket with a silver clutch purse. She had on a pair of silver dangle earrings, and a bit of light make-up, a simple brush of blush on the cheeks and clear gloss on her lips. Rebecca wore a pair of jeans with pink hearts embroidered in them, a pair of white sandals, and a green sweater while her chocolate hair was in a braid. Jonathon wore a pair of jeans, black trainers and a black sweater with his hair as windswept as Kat’s father use to have his until it grew out. “Go get a table for us and I’ll get drink.” Kat said and the two kids nodded, quickly grabbing a booth, some crayons and a placemat to color on. Kat gave a smile and walked up to the bar, getting one butterbeer and two apple juices. She walked back after paying for the drinks and placed them down in front of her children, along with a blueberry muffin for each of them. “Dig in guys; you deserve it after trailing around with me for errands.” She said and they just smiled through mouths full of muffin.

"Random....Can you please stop being so quiet? Please?" Imaginary Lupin shook her head at her twin, who she had dragged along. He was in a somewhat grumpy mood, so he was being unnormally quiet. Normally, both twins were chattering their heads off. Everyone was used to it by know. She grabbed the drinks up from the counter as Random dropped some money and they made their way towards a booth of their own. That was until they noticed Kat and her kids, of course. "Kat!" Imaginary called cheerfully, pulling Random in their direction by his black shirt's collar. He was still working on shoving his wallet into his black jeans, he almost tripped. "Gods bless, Ima. Slow down!"
Imaginary rolled her eyes and bent down, planting a kiss on Rebecca and Johnathan's cheeks. A little bit of clear gloss was left on Johnathan's cheek. She straightened back up to smooth out her clothes. She was wearing a green tank top under a black off the shoulder shirt. She was also wearing a pair of faded blue jeans with a pair of black combat boots. She pushed down her short, choppy, layered hair looked over at Kat. "How are you today?" Random seemed to be a statue, occasionally lifting his cup up to drink some fruity drink.

John grumbled something about going to play and not wanting lip-gloss all over his cheek and Becca just giggled before going back to her drawing of a house with a bunch of people outside of it. “Hello Imaginary, Hello Random.” Kat said with a smile before she took a small sip of her drink. “I’m doing pretty well; actually, I’ve been taking them on a few errands before I drop them off at Chris’s house for a play date with Gwen.” She explained as both Becca and John looked at her and beamed before going back to their drawings.
“And how are you guys today?” She added as she stood up to throw away the now empty muffin wrappers, “You’re being a bit quiet today Random.” She stated with a small smile sitting down again, “Come in, join us, there is plenty of room.” She added scooting over a bit leaving enough room for both of them to sit down.

Random grumbled a hi before leaning down to say hi to Johnathan and Rebecca on a better level. Imaginary had been surprised when she found out he had decided to go into the career Kat had as well instead of persuing a career in teaching, seeing how he loved children. He ruffled Johnathan's hair and smiled a small crooked smile to Becca. After Imaginary sat, so did he. "Oh, I just didn't sleep much. I went out with Alex for a little while lat night and when I got back, I couldn't sleep. Happens often enough that I am used to it." The sugar from the drink seemed to be putting him in a much better, lighter mood.
"How is Chris?" Imaginary asked brightly, wiggling around a little bit. She glanced over at their drawing and smiled. "Hmm. Seems we have a couple of artists hanging around, don't we?"

Kat gave a small smile in understanding and then looked at John who was trying to get his hair to lie flat again and had to hold back a laugh by biting her bottom lip. John simply reminded her of all the men in her life who seemed to have unruly hair and while John’s was tamable, when it got messy it took a long time to lie flat again. “So Random, will you be in work tomorrow or do you have the day off?” Kat asked looking at him. The entire unit of Unforgivables was working on a huge discovery and everyone had four days of work and then two – three days off.
Kat looked to Imaginary when she asked her question, “Chris is doing well. Of course, Gwen is now nine so she is definitely trying to control her child magic more and more and talking everyday how she only has two more years until Hogwarts. She’s been in a few more elementary plays, her latest being Cinderella in her schools production.” Kat answered with a smile. “And yes most likely, though they both seem a bit more interested in sports then in the arts.” Kat said with a smile at her children.

"I'm off tomorrow and the day after that. It feels good to finally rest. And Gwen is into the performing arts, eh? Thats very cool. I will have to drop in and watch one of her plays. Does she take it as seriously as I have heard she does?" Random tilted his head a bit and popped his neck. He looked around at all the interesting sites, though he was still alert.
"Sports! Thats great!" She was basically squealing. Imaginary was known for being random....No pun intended, of course. "I will come to all the games I can when the dragons are behaving! Which reminds me, I want to show you some pictures I took of my baby." She was practically cooing as she talked about her 'baby'. She was also speaking quickly about things too unimportant to really list, plus no one could possibly have understood a word she said, seeing as she was rambling on at the speed of light. She pulled some pictures of a baby Chinese Fireball out and flopped them on the table.

“Lucky….I’m working the next 4 days….It seems as if only a very few amount of us have taken Runes PAST Hogwarts….and the one part of the prophecy has surpassed the knowledge….so I’ll be working 7 days straight….but I get a week off after…” Kat said with a shrug, “And a little too seriously…since her mother’s death Gwen has committed herself to her dancing and acting. I mean…she is still a kid and plays like one…but she practices like crazy when she doesn’t have someone over or at school.”
John and Becca actually looked up at the mention of dragon’s….see….Becca wanted to be a dragon breeder like her Great Uncle Charlie was and while John wanted to be an Auror like his father he was still interested in the creatures, “Cool…” They both said at the same time and Kat laughed at their enthusiasm. “Very nice baby…” She added as she also appreciated the fineness of the creatures.
