Harry was on a mission. No not the cloak and robes flapping, wands sparking, curse throwing ..life or death sort much to his content. Rather his targets were.. lets see. He glanced down at the list again.. milk.. got it, bread.. easy enough.. spaghetti sauce. His emerald gaze tilted up from the list to eye through his glasses the vast array of cans and jars lining the isle.. Did Gin have any idea how many different types of these bloody things there were? Well of course she did.. or she'd not have specified in small print that it needed to be the Ragu brand..and that it should be garlic. Right.. problem with that.. his eyes tripped from one label to the next. While at least ten of them had garlic in the label none of them simply stated 'just' that.. there was Garlic and herb.. Garlic and onion.. garlic and cheese.. bloody hell. He was usually so tired on making it to the table that he registered two things while eating.. that it tasted absolutely fantastic as his wife cooked much as her mum did.. and that he'd better use the rest of his focus to keep his nose from dipping into the plate as he would still have a shower and paperwork to see to before turning in. So honestly? He couldn't tell you which she usually used. One thing he did know was that Gin would not be terribly pleased if he came home with the wrong sort..
The sound of a shopping cart coming down the isle drew a glance from him and he couldn't help but chuckle as a small muggle toddler pointed boldly at his forehead and informed his mother... Look mummy that man had a bobo! The boys mother glanced up at him in shocked mortification and quickly uttered an apology before admonishing the child that 'we don't point..its rude!' . The thing was.. it was rather refreshing. These people knew nothing of what went on in the world that ran parallel to their own. While the woman had been embarrassed by her child's comment, it was a common place embarrassment.. the same she'd have had if he had been any other random stranger.. it was rather nice being a random face for once. Grinning shook his head at the mother.. "no.. really, its alright.."
Dropping his gaze he looked down at the kid and reached out to point at a cartoon band aid plastered across what must be a scrape or some such on the child's knee. " We all get a 'bobo' or two while growing up right? .. They heal though ..in time. " The child flashed him a gap toothed grin where a baby tooth must have fallen out and eyed his scar some more.. Looks like lightning...reaching down he grabbed hold of his knee..Want mine to look like a star.. ..he glanced back up meeting Harry's gaze again.. think it will? Harry laughed lightly.. "It just might at that.. you'll have to see. " The boys mother flashed him a grateful smile for being understanding and pushed her cart on down the isle.. the little boy ducking around her with a grin to wave goodbye.. Harry smiled back and returned the wave. Where had those years gone with his own kids? Over to fast they were.. way, way to fast.
Turning his attention back to the shelf he got back to the crises at hand. He could buy one of each.. then she'd 'have' to end up with the right one.. but then Gin tended to get ill at wasteful spending.. the unusable jars cluttering her kitchen would likely make her as ill as bringing home the wrong sort.. bloody hell.. what was a man to do...
(ooc: I realize that spaghetti is not a traditional English dish.. but com'on.. every other country mixes it up..I'm sure they do from time to time as well.. trust me.. give Harry a Choice of spaghetti or banggers and mash and I guarantee he'll opt for the later.. but for the sake of this post Spaghetti was an easy 'quick' fix..as its sauce comes in so many flavors ^^)
