Everyone was sitting at the dining room table eating dinner. They heard fire coming from the living room area. Ian walked into the dining room sighing loosening his time.
"So many complaints today in the office. Great to be home! Also i have good news!"
Everyone looked at Ian waiting for him to talk.
"I got the week off and we are going on a family vacation! Authur told me about this interesting thing that muggles do called. Skying? They strap wooden planks to their feet and slide on the snow. We need to learn how to blend in."
Ian pulled out a notebook from his pocket
"Alright I got some rules from Authur. Ahem! First, you talk very slowly. Second, eye contact and a lot of it. Third, wear muggle clothing so we can blend in. Lastly, laugh at everything they say, muggles like to feel important."
Aria gave her father a confused look not sure about all of this.
"Are you sure?"
"Yup! Authur told me he's an expert. After all, this is his department!" Ian smiled.
Aria looked at Victor they both had confused looks but just shrugged. If he said that Authur was an expert so he must know what to do.
"We will leave tomorrow morning! So be sure to pack your bags." Ian grinned as he took a sip of his tea. He then shot his head up realizing something he missed.
"Oh right! Be sure to keep this between us. I don't want to hear any complaints from any of the pure blood families when i get back to work" Ian rolled his eyes slight just imagining it.
Emerald raised her eyebrow slightly as she thought.
"I do believe we do not have muggle clothing. Tomorrow we will have to go to the muggle world to buy clothes, so we can blend in" Emerald spoke up.
Everyone agreed what they needed to bring. Using magic is very limited during this trip so they can enjoy the complete muggle experience. Everyone went to bed early that day to prepare for the long day tomorrow.
The next morning everyone had their suitcases with just a few clothes but it was mostly empty. They had to make sure they had room for the muggle clothing that they would purchase.
The Lacroix family were in Le Grand Bornand, France. With towering snowy peaks around the small village. Everyone kept stopping looking through the window's of some shop amazed.
"Woahhh look real muggle clothing" Aria exclaimed
"Let's go in this store" Victor exclaimed happily.
Before they could say anything Aria and Victor already went in the store. Ian and Emerald followed them in and starting looking around seeing the clothes and touching them.
"Look darling, I didn't expect the fabric to feel so soft" Ian said as he was touching a scarf.
"Indeed, i'm surprised they have such similar look to our clothing" Emerald was curious at what kind of materials the clothes were made of.
"We have to wear a lot of layers so grab as much as you can wear" Ian spoke.
Everyone just grabbed a bunch of random winter clothing. Not a lot of things matched up very well. They set all of the clothes on the counter as the cashier was surprised. Nervously she checked them out.
"Thank. You. Very. Much." Ian spoke slowly to the person who was checking them out. Setting ten Gallons on the counter. The person looked at them very confused picking up the Gallon examining it seeing it was gold. She looked around and set them in her pocket keeping them for herself.
