PREVIOUSLY IN A NEW BEGINNING

The twins buy new trunks.

________________________________________

They found the Tonks' going towards Slugs and Jiggers. The trunks thankfully had self-shrinking features. So Harry and Alaya shrunk it and placed it in their respective jacket pockets. The books were initially in Sirius' and Remus' pockets and were already separated into Harry's and Alaya's bundles. And once they got their trunks, they placed their respective bundles in their respective trunks and shrunk them before exiting the store. Harry and Alaya went with Andromeda to the Apothecary. Sirius went to Gringotts as he had a meeting with his account manager, while Remus, Ted and Dora went to wait for everyone in Florean's.

In the Apothecary, Andy, Alaya and Harry shopped for all the ingredients that they'll need for practicing their potions with Snape. She got extra ingredients for herself as she needed to brew potions for the private healer clinic that she and her husband Ted were running. They paid for the ingredients and went to Florean's.

They found Ted, Remus and Dora sitting at a table and laughing about something. They sat down with them and started discussing about the quidditch world cup. Harry and Alaya were excited about the game as both played for the team. The finals was between Ireland and Bulgaria. So Harry and Alaya fell into and argument between Bulgaria's seeker Viktor Krum and the Irish Chasers. Harry being a seeker, supported Krum while his twin supported the Irish Chasers, due to her being a chaser for the team. Soon enough, their argument was broken by Sirius, who returned back from Gringotts after his meeting.

"Guys, we're having a family meeting once we get back home. It's just us and no one else." Sirius said as he took the empty seat next to Harry. "Family meeting?" asked Alaya. "Yes Aly. I have a few announcements to make. It's important. That's why I can't tell it out here in public." He said as he bit into a sandwich that they had ordered for him to eat once he returned. The others nodded at this thinking it might be about some financial stuff and went back to eating their ice creams. But they didn't realize that they were in for a shock.
