Tyler chewed his lip thoughtfully for a moment. His mother was the hardest person to find a present for.
"I was thinking something along the lines of a scrapbook. Or possibly a stationary set," he suggested. He honestly had no idea what his mother would like and was hoping Mrs. Blotts might have some suggestions also.
"My son bought me a stationary set once." Mrs. Blotts said, hiding a laugh, "Why don't we look at some other things you might get her? I just received a limited edition of some musical books." She said, pulling out a box from under the counter. "They sing original songs depending on the reader's moods." She opened the book to demonstrate and giggled when it sang a very upbeat song about sunshine and happiness.

"Why hello," Ashlie said through gritted teeth, turning to the boy who was tapping on her. "Generally we wait at the counter, you know," she said, tyring to mask her her irritation. How rude! Coming up and tapping on her shoulder. "It'd do you some justice to use a few manners," she added under her breath, pulling out a paper.
She slid it before him, forcing her fake smile. "Here, fill that out, please," she said in her phony voice. The form requested his full name, age, any pets, and the number of rooms he'd be in need of.
Then, she turned back to Elijah, before casting a look at the rude boy.
"Sorry" Nik mumbled to the girl's back before scowling at it. He took the form and filled it out. Half of him wanted to tap on her shoulder again, he was exhausted but she looked like she could bite his head off if he wanted to. Not that he was afraid of a girl, but he just didn't feel like getting into another fight so early in the day. So he waited by the counter with the filled in form for the girl to finish with the other customer.

Aero finally pulled herself from bed, stretching slowly. Ahhh... she still had a couple hours before she even had to go into work. She smiled as she stood to dress, thankful to be out of the skirt uniform and pulled out a pair of jeans and a tank top.
She fluffed her hair a bit before pulling it up into its usual knot, the few tresses too short to reach falling around her face and into her eyes. She grabbed her bag and made her way out of the room, stumbling over her pyjamas.
As she strode out of the Leaky Cauldron, she caught Ashlie's scowl and she waved back with a smile. Have fun with the morning crew! Once out of the pub, she walked down the street to Flourish and Blotts. It seemed she was in a need of some more books. She walked in, bouncing a bit, before heading for the new Wizarding Novels shelves.
Mrs. Blotts shut the book she was showing to young Tyler and waved at Aero. "Hello, poppet. I've added a whole new section on romances if you're interested." She called over.
