SUMMER

Rey was being woken up, violently. His playful older brother, Beau has spent the last 13 minutes stomping around his room to wake him up. There was no hope for his brother, he was just... childish. Compared to that overly strict of a brother Adrian is, Beau was definitely a baby. But at least for Rey, Beau deffo has the most fun.

Walking down the stairs in tow, he slumbered his way to the dining room where Adrian has started eating on his pancakes peacefully. It appeared that he have been disregarding all the ruckus upstairs. Sitting next to him and across from Beau, Rey could clearly see the difference between his two brothers. Adrian is eating gracefully and stopping once in a while to read the Daily Prophet while Beau is munching down his breakfast while laughing at the book he's reading with some giggles in between. It almost seems like Beau has taken Adrian's whole sense of fun.

"The Brits' paper is boring brother. You should try to read my books sometimes, ey?"

"No thank you, I have far more interesting books than yours."

"What? Human Psychology?" Beau snorted, to which Adrian closed his paper to narrow his eyes on Beau.

"Finish your breakfast." He then proceed to read his paper.

The three olympias moved to Barnton last June. After Adrian graduation, Rey kept nagging on and on about going to Hogwarts just like his mom did. Their parents then decided for them to stay at their summer house in order for Rey to get his invitation. So to Barnton, they went. Their house in Barnton was nothing grand because It was designated as their summer home.

Around late July, two letters came to them. One was for his mother and the other one was for Rey. Adrian eyed him amusedly when he replied to the letter with glee. His mother, Mary, took some time to write a reply before taking both of the replies for the owl to deliver.

"We're going to take you to buy the stuff on your list today."

"We're going shopping?"

"With mom?"

"Yes, but not for you, and yes. She'll come shortly after this. She said there's someone she has to meet." Adrian replied while standing up.

"Oh ok."

It wasn't till around noon their mother come through the floo network. Having the groceries put down on the counter, she then ushered the three towards the chimney. Adrian went first to give Rey the example how to properly travel with the floo. After the fire cleared off, Rey stepped into the chimney and do everything just like how his brother did. Hence, he safely come out to the other side. Beau and his mother showed up a few moments later.

Travelling with the floo was definitely quick. Rey didn't mind it too much. The only thing that he despised was the dusts that were just too stubborn to get rid off. His mother told him that travelling with the floo also much safer than appa-something. He wondered if anyone would ever get into a problem while traveling with it. Maybe stuck in a chimney or even landed into the wrong place?

"All right, to be honest I only got a few pouches of dragot. People here used a different currency, so let me get to the bank to do the work first. Adrian, take your brother to Madam Malkin's first will you?" 

Adrian nodded before turning to him and Beau. "Ok, let's go kids."

"Ian, I'm not a kid."

"I'm gonna pretend that you didn't just call me Ian."

The three brothers walked down a pretty-packed alley. Diagon Alley was definitely bigger than it's counterpart that they used to visit in Canada. Their mother have gone to the bank and they made their way toward Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.
