Why do I shop with kids?
I think as Tasha hops to the door while holding my hand. And James runs around in circles acting like... an airplane? Bird? Or maybe just himself...
And while do I always give them sugar beforehand?
I chuckle, Oh yeah... It's fun!
I cup my hand over my mouth, "Mom to James... The plane is running out of fuel, do you copy?"

Shell was walking into the three broomsticks after a long day of shopping. Halloween was just around the corner as Liese kept reminding her. "Mum, I want a costume still. Can I be a ladybug?" "Sure I suppose." "And I want to be a mailman." Jake replies following right behind his redheaded sister. "Mailman? Okay then." Shell says with a laugh as the redheaded James was in her arms as usual, keeping his opinions and thoughts to himself.
Walking through the slight crowd, Jake bumps into a little boy, causing him to smile a little bit. "What are you doing?" he asks with a raised eyebrow, as he shook his jet black hair aside. "At least he doesn't want to be a mailman Jacob." Liese replies with a grin, causing Jake to scowl. "Mailmen are neat Annaliesa. James laughs a little to himself before Shell sighs. "That's enough from the both of you."

James 'the plane' starts winding down, limiting his circling to mere twirlings in place, and I just shake my head at him, laughing a little. "James apparently doesn't want to get anything today, does he?"
I ask the air, just loud enough for James to hear.
"No, I want stu-" He gets cut off when another boy bumps into him and replies to the boy by saying, "This..." As he continues to spin.
And little Tasha, worried for her brother whimpers and pulls me toward the forming group. "It's okay Tasha, I'm sure he's fine. Look there, he's smiling." But she doesn't calm down until we join the group. And I look at the bunch and smile when I see the oldest of it. "Professor Crescent?" I ask in surprise.

Shell glances up and tucks her curls behind ear as James looks over at Tasha with a smile. "Yes?" she asks biting her lip, confused on how the woman knew her name. Rushing around all day and dealing with everything going on in her life... she was pretty sure that was excusable enough for her to forget her name. "I'm sorry, I can't recall who you are my dear."

I keep on smiling, "Oh that's fine... it's only been about a decade or something. It's Dahlia... I took you astrology class at Hogwarts."
Tasha Smiles widely at the boy and everyone else in the group, "Hello. Who are all these people?" She ask in awe, still smiling. "They seem nice, mommy." I smile at her, "I'm sure they're very nice, Tashie."
And James stops spinning, apparently more interested in what going on now. He turns to the boy who bumped him, " So you're a mailman... hm... you don't look like a man..." He tilts his head to the side. I raise my eyebrow, "James he can still be a mailman... there are female mailmen but they aren't men." But he just shrugs.

Shell shifts her weight from her left foot to her right a bit before remembering. "Oh! That's right, I'm so sorry Dahila." she says with a sheepish grin.
Shell looks over at Dahila and smiles a little, as James grins back at her as well.
"It's for halloween. I guess I'll be a mailboy then." he shrugs a little before looking up at Dahila. "Mummy, who is she?" Liese asks pointing up at Dahila.

I shake my head chuckling a little, "Really it's fine, I'm sure you had more students then I had teachers." I point out.
Tasha just looks at everyone happily, and James looks up at me in confusion, maybe wondering why everyone else way looking at his mom. I look at the kids, "Oh I'm sorry, I'm being very rude. I'm Dahlia Chekoya and these are my kids James and Tasha." I crouch to their level to shake their hands, "How are you guys today?"

Shell nods slightly. "I suppose that's true, but I still feel guilty about that." she says with a shrug.
Liese shakes her hand, as does Jake. "His name is James too!" Jake says with a grin up at his brother. "Forgive Jacob, he has no manners. I'm Annaliesa Sage Chou and these are my brothers, Jacob Oliver Slayter and James Nicholas Chou. I'm not sure about him, but I'm okay." she says with a grin as Jake crosses his arms.
"You're very annoying you know that right?"
"I am not!"
"Are so, Annaliesa."
"No you're annoying Jacob."
"You're both annoying."
Both of them look up at James and glare slightly before crossing their arms and facing the other way so their back were almost touching. Shell just rolls her eyes a bit and glances back up at Dahila. "So, how old are yours and how are you doing for the past some odd number of years?" she asks with a faint smile.

"Oh there's no reason to feel guilty..." I say but am distracted from continuing by the argument between the kids. I have difficulty keeping a straight face but manage to keep from laughing. "Um... well nice to meet you even if you are annoying." I smile at them and then get up from my crouch.
"well this guy is six years old," I say as I push him closer to Shelby, "And this smiling child is three," but Tasha gives me a look and I say, "Oh but of coarse I mean almost four." I chuckle a bit. "We have another one at Hogwarts, she's twelve... she's not actually mine, Luke and I found her in New York when we were traveling the world. Did you ever have Luke Chekoya? He'd be memorable if you did... or maybe that's just my opinion of him." I muse for a bit and the shake my head. "Anyways... do you still teach? Or are you too busy with these guys?" I motion to her kids.
