<div align="center">Adelaide smiled as everyone had agreed that going to Malkin's was the best bet for everybody. It was settled then. As they started to move towards the store she looked at the crowds. For a moment she wondered where all her family was. Now that she had the company of these students she wasn't sure if she wanted her relatively larger family in the shop at the same time. She never had too many problems with new people, but in the end she realized it would be nice to be around family again. Thinking of the names Zelric had said of the two falcons she was surprised at how unique they were, she liked it. Wondering if it had any special meaning she couldn't help but think of the name of her own feline companion. He wasn't around, as he didn't do crowds very much. Something about being a cat probably. Quickly Adelaide realized that her own companions name was probably very boring in retrospect now. Looking back at the group as they arrived in front of the store she snapped out of her inner monologue and entered the store with the others. Even though she hadn't had issues with strangers, she honestly was surprised with herself in the group. Adelaide was usually a very quiet individual, thoughtful and analyzing everything. <br/><br/>Looking around the store she didn't see any of her own family and wondered if she had arrived early or if they were simply late. The Tanith family was usually very prompt on time, so she became a little worried. Looking at the ground she looked up as she heard 2 adults talking to Giren and was surprised at Hagrid. Of coarse she knew of him and had seen him before in pictures and such, but she never realized how small she was, or how big he really was. Smiling at the conversation of adults she was interested in the subject, but animals weren't exactly too well with her. A mishap during childhood had made her a little nervous around the bigger ones. Watching Giren pull Zelric aside she wandered over to a section to look through the robes. She had her own, but her parents insisted on buying new ones for the school year. Just as she heard the boys start talking her father walked in and quickly found her. To her he looked a little disgruntled as if something had happened, but to most he would seem normal. <strong>"Well... How did it go? Make friends?"</strong> He said in a quiet voice looking at his daughter and then at the others in the store. He had saw her earlier in front of the store with the others but he wasn't sure how his fist daughter was handling being on her own. He was resisting urges to be an over protective father, but kept the urges subsided by conversation.<br/><br/>Adelaide looked up at her father and smiled and nodded. <strong>"Yes. Three. Cat, Zelric and Giren."</strong> She said as she looked at the respective peers who had spread out a little. <strong>"And Seraph and Hagrid."</strong> Adelaide added quickly smiling kindly at the other two adults. Hadrian looked over at the other adults, obviously he probably knew them. Waving a little hello he looked back at his daughter. <strong>"Well of coarse, good to know you are getting along."</strong> He said softly to Adelaide. <strong>"Your mother is still tied up with the twins, and who knows where your brother is."</strong> He said with a little grin. Nodding Adelaide was looking at the robes. Quickly there was an awkward blanket around the two. The classic awkward-ness of a father shopping for clothes, especially with his daughter. Adelaide looked at the other students again, wondering if they had people they were meeting her as well. </div>
