I sit in a muggle cafe in downtown London, escaping the cold of christmas shopping. "I haven't had time to shop for all of them this year, with the wedding coming up so soon." I say with a sigh as the brunette waitress hands me a plain donut and a huge mug of hot chocolate.
I smile when I breathe in it's aroma. "I knew this would help." I say as I put my frozen fingers around the purple mug. I look down at the many colorful bags filled with toys and clothes. "Now I just have to wrap all of this." I say with a laugh. Having nine kids each wanting a lot would amount to alot of tape and ribbon.

I'm not just buying for myself this year, I thought, grinning widely. I smelled the aroma of hot chocolate from one of the muggle cafes. My stomach was getting a little larger now which made it harder to do things. I walked into the cafe and looked around to find a waitress. I saw one at a tabel serving one woman, "Oi! Can I have a hot chocolate please?" I smiled. "May I sit here?" I ask the woman.

I look up and see a young woman, prehaps a student. "Sure, just be careful of all the bags and boxes." I say with a smile as I break my donut into little bite size pieces. I take one and dunk into my hot chocolate and nibble a bit of it.

"You could say that. "Nine soon to be ten kids and a fiance. Technically husband tomorrow." I say with a wide grin.

"Wow congratulations!" I smile. "Life is really looking up then? I've got one on the way." I nod.

"That's great for you too. Oh I'm Shelby Crescent, or actually tomorrow it will be Shelby Chou." I say to her.

I nod slightly. "I'm sure you're so fascinated by them. "I know a lot of the students since I only graduated 4 years ago, so they call me Shell, Shelly or whatever nickname they come up with." I say with a laugh.

"No Professor Chou. It makes me sound like I'm at least 50." I say with a laugh.

"Then just proffesor?" I laugh. "I'll just call you Shelly then. I must ask though, when your teaching at Hoggywarts, where are you children?"

"There usually with Jay's brother Jake, or with my best friend Briar. We're all graduated." I say to her.

"I wouldn't be too sure. I wish I was still a kid sometimes. Instead of doing homework, I grade it." I say with a laugh.

"That sucks. If you were in my shoes though you wouldn't be able to stand the wait. But thats another story. Anyways! I love Hoggywarts but sometimes the people in it I just want to..." I made a strangling mtoion with my hands and laugh lightly.

I laugh. "We all do, at any age. I really dislike Mr. Slughorn..." I say pretending to gag on my donut a bit.

"He doesn't like me cause I tended to skip his class and then pass his tests with flying colors." I say with a smile.

"Well no wonder you passed all the tests. I don't think I can use my cunningness for anything. You could always use wits," I nod.

"Snakes of good qualities don't they?" I ask her with a tilt of my head.

"Sometimes they come in handy. But yeah I guess you could say that." I shrug and take a sip of my hot chocolate.
