Mikayla woke up with a groan as she slapped the alarm clock off, it was 9:30, the girls decided since they showered twice yesterday they could skip it today and have a lie in. Avery pulled the duvet off her sister, dragging Mikayla out of bed. "Av, I seepy." Mikayla said in a baby voice making Avery laugh lightly, "come on, or you'll be late to work for your future husband." Mikayla grunted in response before she lead Avery over to the wardrobe. "It's green today, isn't it?" Mikayla questioned, "yeah it is." Avery smiled, Mikayla pulled out a green shirt with a leaf print, a green jean jacket, a green button up skirt, a golden sun belt, black star tights, white socks and some old brown boots. Avery pulled out a green spotted mesh top, a green beret, green jeans, a black belt, white sock and black platform shoes.

They quietly got dressed making sure not to wake up Ginny, before rushing down stairs for their breakfast. "Your breakfast is on the table and your lunches are as well." Mrs Weasley called from the sitting room, Mikayla and Avery sat down at the table, and began eating their yogurt sundaes. "I wonder if it'll be busy today..." Avery states in an attempt to curate a conversation, "I'll say so. We need to visit Madam Malkin to see if she still wants us to do the photoshoot and song." Avery agreed with her sister, "we'll drop in on the way to the Leaky Cauldron after work," "sounds good." Molly arrives into the kitchen just as the girls finished eating, "what time will you be back at?" she questions as she picks up the girls dirty dishes, "half five." the pair say together, before pulling on their travelling cloaks, and Mikayla shoved their lunches in her blue bag. "Don't go delivering any more triplets.." Mrs Weasley jokes, the girls snorted, "don't worry, we won't." Avery smiles at the red headed woman. "See you later..." Mikayla spoke quietly giving Molly a kiss on the cheek, Avery mimics Mikayla's actions. They grab some Floo powder, "Diagon Alley."

Mikayla shoved her and Avery's cloaks into her blue bag as they weaved through the crowds, trying to get to 93 Diagon Alley. Once they arrived, Mikayla put her bag in the back storeroom, throwing Avery her apron, and they tied them on. "I'll do the shelving today, you can work the till." Avery told her sister, the pair shake hands before going opposite ways. Mikayla pulls her hair into a ponytail to keep it out of her eyes for when she's using the till. "Hey Verity, I'll take over here if you want to go on your break." Mikayla smiles at her, "yes, thanks Mikayla." Verity disappeared from view, Mikayla put a smile on her face as her first customer approaches her. "Hello, how are you?" Mikayla asks the witch that puts Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, Carra Curatio, two Pygmy puffs and two kids Shield Cloaks, Mikayla nodded understanding why the woman didn't answer her question, Mikayla put the sale into the till, "your total is 10 Galleons, 11 Sickles and 28 Knuts." The woman handed over 10 golden coins and 12 silver coins, Mikayla put them into the till before giving the woman a Knut in change.

Next customer was a young boy, Mikayla recognised him as Denis Creevey, "hello Denis, how are you?" "I'm good thanks Mikayla." He smiled as he handed up an Aviatomobile, a Boxing telescope, Bruise removal paste and a packet of Wakefields Off the Record Glow in the Dark Gum. Mikayla keyed the products in, "your total is 2 Galleons, 1 Sickle and 17 Knuts Denis." He hands over a Galleon and 18 Sickles and 17 Knuts. "Perfect, thank you." Mikayla put his stuff in a bag and smiling as she watched him leave. Mikayla greeted a girl she knew as Romilda Vane, she had quite strange product arrangement, she hands Mikayla, a bottle of Love is Blind Eye Serum, another bottle of Love Potion, a Reusable Hangman and a Rubby Chicken. Mikayla filled the products into the till, "That'll be 5 Galleons, 4 Sickles and 5 Knits." Romilda handed over 6 Galleons, "and your change is 12 Sickles and 24 Knuts." Mikayla handed Romilda her change and receipt.

"M, Fred wants you in the store.." Avery whispers to her sister, Mikayla nods, "I'll just serve Lavender and then I'll head back there." Mikayla whispers back to Avery. "Hey Lav, how've been?" "Alright M, how are you?" Mikayla smiled at her friend knowing what she was hinting at, "I'm coping Lav, your total is 3 Galleons, 5 Sickles and 8 Knuts." As Lavender hands over the money for her Dungbombs, Extendable Ear, Fanged Frisbee and Happy Bubble Box, she asks Mikayla on whether Ron was single, "yeah, he is, why? I thought you and Seamus were getting together." Mikayla admits as she bags Lavender's items, "Seamus has been doing some self-discovery and has come out as gay." "No way!" Mikayla whispered yelled, "yes way! I heard you delivered my cousin's triplets yesterday.." She smiles at the blonde, "how'd you find out about that?" Mikayla ask as she stepped to the side, away from the till, to allow Avery to take over. "Beth has been telling everyone, she reckons she's have the most eventful delivery of the family, which is quite a statement for us Browns." Mikayla chuckled at the memory of Lavender telling her, about when her aunt gave birth to her cousin during a safari tour in Africa. "I'll see you at Brian's Party." Lavender waved goodbye, Mikayla sent her a smile.

Mikayla snuck behind the curtain into the storeroom, "Sorry Freddie, I was serving Lavender Brown and well, you know what she's like." Fred chuckles lightly nodding a little, "I've been thinking about our collaboration... and I wondering if you've invented anymore potions?" Mikayla sighed, "no I haven't..." she admitted, "but if you write up with a list of potions and explain what effect you want them to have, Avery and I would probably be able to invent it." Fred chuckles at Mikayla's confidence. "I'll do that right now, it's your break now, do you want to brainstorm with me?" "Sure." Mikayla grabbed her lunch, note book and quill, writing the title;

Inventions Brainstorming;

"Alright, about we start at the joke section?" Mikayla enquires, Fred agrees with her, "how about a strong uncontrollable laughter potion?" Fred suggest, Mikayla thinks of a name for it, before writing it down; Have A Laugh. Before Mikayla thinks of something really immature and added it to the list, Crepitu Immensus and Desisto Crepitu. "What are they?" Fred question, Mikayla chuckled uncomfortably, "um... an endless fart potion and its antidote." Fred chuckles looking at the blonde with a curious look, "what about x-ray eyes?" Mikayla raised an eyebrow, "yeah that's not gonna be abused at all." Mikayla rolled her eyes before writing it down on the page and giving it the name 'Transpicio'.
