Merlin, Teddy loved visiting Diagon Alley but it was a struggle on these days. The increasing number of anticipating students shopping around for school supplies left him more feeling overwhelmed. But it couldnât be helped. It was his last year at school and was Head Boy added to that. It was an added pressure but he was sure he would deal with it well enough. Especially since Victoire was the chosen Head Girl. Knowing his closest friend would be there was comforting.Â
Stepping into the crowded bookshop, Teddy kept his gaze averted from the somewhat familiar faces that piled into the store and beelined for the section he was positive his book would be. Clearly everyone else had the same idea as well since none of them were in stock. In his narrowed focus on the possibility of not having the required reading, he failed to notice the other person rounding the shelves from the other side before colliding into them.
âMerlin!â he exclaimed, a little more loudly than intended. Teddy ran a nervous hand through his hand and immediately bent down to help the other person. âSorry, sorry-I am so sorry. I wasnât expecting you there.â
