Larissa was seen flying broomsticks with her children, eventually reaching Place Cachée, the French magical shopping district.
"Now be very careful," Larissa instructed, handing each a significant amount of gold, "go and buy what you need. We'll meet by Confiserie Enchantée de K. Rammelle, before we all head to Maison Capenoir."
"What's Confiserie Enchantée de K. Rammelle and Maison Capenoir?" James Potter asked, turning to the only confirmed French people in the room.
"Confiserie Enchantée de K. Rammelle is a confectionary shop," Lillian Delancy explained, "and Maison Capenoir is a clothing store."
"Thank you," James said appreciatively, "are the pastries good there?"
"Exquisite," Lillian replied, "it wouldn't be France without its pastries."
"Of course Maman," Layla grinned, "we'll be very careful. Is Auntie Lillian bringing Isidore along?"
"I don't believe so," Larissa frowned, eyebrows squeeing together as she though, "although Freya is working at Café Abringer. If you'd like to see her, you're welcome to stop by."
"Alright," Layla nodded, "bye Maman." Layla ran off, but not before kissing her mother's cheek respectfully."
"Farewell Maman," Victor followed suit, kissing his mother's cheek, "I'll make sure Layla doesn't cause too much trouble."
"That would be much appreciated," Larissa laughs nervously, "your sister is simply a magnet for trouble."
"Don't worry Maman," Damian reassured hi mother, "we got her. That's our job as siblings isn't it?"
"My sweet, sweet boys," Larissa gathered her sons up in her arms, smothering them with kisses, "what on Earth have I done to deserve boys like you?"
"Raise us well," Damian said, kissing his mother on the cheek, "while this is lovely and all, if Vic and I don't hurry, we're going to lose Layla. We don't want to be the ones responsible for setting her loose on Place Cachée."
"You make a fair argument," Larissa smiles, "run off boys."
The two boys run off. leaving their mother to watch them fondly from the distance.
"That was so cute," Antiope gushed, "you're a great mother Rissa."
"I have to agree," Molly Weasley hesitantly spoke, not having said much this whole time, "I hope I can be the same for my children."
"You're going to do great," Arthur grasped Molly's hands, "I just know it."
"Oi! Stop flirting with our sister," Gideon barked at Arthur, "it's gross."
"Shut it!" Molly glared at her brother, causing him to gulp and hide behind their parents, who simply laughed.
"Slow down Lay!" Victor called out to his sister, "I thought we were going to go together."
"Sorry Vic," Layla slowed down a smidge, "I'm just really excited to buy new books. Maman even said I can annotate in them."
"I will never understand how you can love reading," Victor shook his head, "it's so boring."
"Please don't say that," Damian begged, "you know that sets her off. Why don't we go get the books quickly so we can go see Freya?"
"Good idea," Layla perked up immediately, "let's go."
"It seems that they get along well," Larissa mumbled to herself, "Thank Merlin."
"Bonjour Greengrasses," the owner of the bookstore greeted as they entered.
