speechless by her reaction, he didn't think that he had done anything wrong only tried to help her and this was how she repaid him, he might as well not have bothered. He wasn’t completely sure what he was going to do about it, but it wasn’t like he would never get to see her again as she was going to the same school as he was, which meant that he had a little time to figure something out.
Chapter Three
Twenty minutes later Will was laded down with books on the top balcony, he had somehow found all of his books without running into that Travis guy and his friends again; in fact he was sure that they had already left so all he needed to do was find his aunt somehow, even though that she seemed to have just disappeared on him.
He started looking through the crowd of people below and was sure that he finally spotted her looking around for him as she wasn't carrying any books of her own. He quickly made his way down the stairs that were just next to him, not wanting to lose her again; he was careful not to drop anything or trip down the narrow stairs because he couldn't hold the hand rail or see the steps because of all the books that he was carrying. He finally came out at the end of the fifth aisle and walked up the next aisles just in time to see his aunt who turned around just then looking relieved to see him also.
"I've been looking for you for ages," Anne told him.
"Sorry, but I found all my books," Will told her smiling brightly and as innocently as he could, hoping that she hadn't heard about what had happened with the fire or with him hitting someone; which it wasn't as though he did that sort of thing all the time, actually never.
"Well...I guess that's alright then," Anne said as they walked over to the counter which was actually surprisingly free of customers, considering the rest of the shop.
Another twenty minutes later they were walking down Archer Alley after finishing buying the books and also Will's first year potion supplies, along with another book and a cauldron which Anne was carrying because it was too heavy for him and all of the books.
"I can't believe that I have to take that thing with me to school," Will said frowning slightly, wondering why they haven’t invented something a little more modern.
"Yes, I know; you would think that they would supple something like this wouldn't you?" Anne said scowling at the cauldron. "But I guess it's so that you all take responsibility for all of your own things. Though I think you do get to store them in the actual classroom, you don't have to carry them around everywhere with you; which of course is a plus,"
"Oh well," Will said distractedly as he saw a cafe just before the alley split into two, he was getting a bit hungry considering that he didn't have anything to eat before he came out, and they had been walking around now for a while and with all this stuff that he had to carry, he really could do with something.
The cafe's umbrellas were patterned like festive mushrooms, though that didn't seem to bother anyone, in fact there was quite a large crowd sat outside with a few spare tables.
"Aunty Anne..." Will started.
"Perhaps we should get something to eat considering that we haven't had anything all day," Anne suggested, having the same idea.
They walked over to an empty table careful not to knock into anyone with their shopping, but they weren't the only ones there who were layered down with shopping, as they soon realized trying to get through all of the tables. Will sat down first when they finally reached an empty table and put his books on the empty chair next to him and his bags on the floor, Anne put all of her shopping on the floor underneath the table and then picked up the menu.
Will didn't listen to a thing that his aunt ordered for them because he was too busy watching everyone walk pass wondering where they all came from and where they would all go
