26. Shopping Spree 2 and what the hangover tastes

Harry had dragged Luna and Severus to the bookstore, ignoring the passers-by.
Now he was finally at his destination and just wanted to plunge into pleasure when he heard an enthusiastic welcome from the right.
"Harry, you look great!"
"George is right, the clothes are great. If you gain a few pounds now, Professor Snape will have to guard you with a drawn wand. Because then you are simply irresistible. "
Harry would normally have turned red at those words, but right now he could not concentrate on such trifles as his looks, after all, he was in a small paradise right now.
Of course, that was also the over-twins on.
"Tell me, little brother, what about you?"
"Severus has allowed me to buy more books than on the school list," the green-eyed grinned a bit enraptured.
Severus noticed that at the moment his partner was very much like Luna when she talked about her fantasy animals. that's exactly what got word out now.
"Well, to be precise, Severus has told you that you can choose as many books as you want."
The twins looked at each other big.
"Fred."
"Yes, George."
"Go back very slowly, keep your body parts out of the reach of Harry and try to look as little as possible like a book."
The cat boy reacted with only a tail and then he went hunting.
The whole scene was watched by the rest of the Weasleys and Hermione, with Hermione looking slightly confused.
"Say, what does Harry mean, he can pick more books? He does not read so much and I've never noticed that he likes books. "
"Yes, Herminchen, you're right, Harry does not like books, he loves them," Fred replied.
"But how he always got upset when Hermione told us about the history of Hogwarts or when she dragged us to the library for some research."
"Oh, Ron, my poor ignorant brother, I think much more that you were the one who complained about the investigation."
"Right. And as for the history of Hogwarts. Harry read it very well, but he quickly found out that most of the things in the book are outdated. That's why he always reacted so annoyed when Hermione said something about it. "
Luna was shocked once again how little Ron and Hermione knew their supposedly best friend. It seemed to the blond Ravenclaw as if they had just taken a picture of Harry and they did not look over it anymore.
She looked at Severus, who seemed to think the same thing. And Sirius? He seemed embarrassed right now, presumably because he, too, had misjudged his godson. Well, at least the Animagus seemed to hope that he was learning from his mistakes.
An excited cat hybrid suddenly shot out of one of the rows of books and stopped directly in front of his husband.
"Severus, can you come with me and make sure I do not buy any books we already have at home?"
The boy's ears turned excitedly in all directions and his cheeks were also slightly red.
Severus stroked his baby over the head, to prevent him from the fidgeting first put his other hand on his shoulder.
"Of course I will help you. have you already got the textbooks? "
"Yes, everyone is already at the cash register, the seller has me tempted to take care of them."
Satisfied, the Potions Master followed his young man. Luna also joined to buy her books, and she also needed a language book for Zwirbel so that he could learn English.

After about an hour, Severus had a new nickname for his spouse, book monster. Fred and George Weasley had not exaggerated when they got away from the kid.
There were well over fifty 'loot' piled at the cash desk, as Harry called his findings. that it was not anymore was just because the Potions master has a very extensive collection at home. It only surprised the ex-spy that the kid had not stolen their purchases from others.
but one thing Severus had to admit, Harry had a really wide and exquisite taste, whether it was entertainment or technical literature.
Good that there were reduction and weightless magic. Here, too, Severus again successfully prevented his cat from paying, which changed his color.

After they were all on the street again, they decided to have lunch. Severus had already reserved a table for everyone in a restaurant.
"I have to get into the menagerie, feed for our spring friends before. Plus, Fawkes needs an ash plate for his fire day. "
"Good, but you're not alone, these crazy people running around here are too dangerous for me, I'll come with you."
No, Severus really did not feel like delivering his man to this mob.
Luna also joined and so the three set off.
In the store Harry had quickly found everything he needed for his pets. luna got herself a basket for her twist, which he acknowledged with a whir.
They were standing at the cash desk when they heard it:
"Asshole, mud-eaters, bloated puke!"
"What was that please?"
Severus glanced coldly at the salesman.
"I'm sorry, that was not me. We got a gray parrot some weeks ago. And well, how can I say he has a pretty one-sided vocabulary. "
"Did that naughty badger just say I could lick his ass?"
Harry looked at the bird in astonishment. who taught an animal just that?
"Why do you have him in the sales room, if he insults everyone and even so colorful?"
"Unfortunately, I can not leave him with the other birds, they would just look that in the end. After all, that's nothing but singing for the animals. "
Severus snorted. Singing, clearly. And Neville Longbottom was a passionate potions brewer.
Luna thought it was very funny and started to giggle with every scolding of the bird.
in Harry's head, however, a plan had grown up that made him shine.
I take him. "
"Please what?", It came in three voices. Stunned faces looked at him.
"Damn it."
"Harry, why on earth do you want that shame? Especially you already have two wonderful birds."
"Well then, it's a shovel. And why I want him, I'll explain later. "
This time, Harry did not allow Severus to pay for him.
As they left the store, under the terrible curses of their new companion, the cat-boy headed for a small back alley.
