Drinks before shopping, she wasn’t sure that this was a good idea, but hey she had all the time in the world to burn. She had all the money too. Her grandfather had given her a large bag of galleons when she had last seen him, since she won the bet with him that she would ever marry. She had thought that it was a joke, because Heydar Shafiq was not the person she thought would ever want to joke with her, ever. Mainly because she was sort of the family disappointment. She didn’t think that any of them would respect her but after her marriage had happened, even Judah had stopped acting like she was the anti-christ. It was sort of creepy and had her worried that something was going to happen.

She had other things to do though, other things that were needing to be bought. Mainly shoes, and some new clothes. The season was changing which meant that her wardrobe would need a touch up. Since she couldn’t change the colors or appearance of some of her clothes now. So today she was shopping with her friend Winona! She was pretty excited, Winona was rather pretty and extremely fun, and the fact that it had been her that had been hooked up with Tib was even more epic.

A part of her hoped that whatever it was worked out, After all, Tib deserved some kind of happiness after all of the bullshit that he had been going through as of late, and with his uncle dying he was probably going to have a lot more freedom. It was even more hilarious that she was his aunt, and her husband, his best friend, now his uncle. Oh, this was going to make Christmas so much fun this year.

She walked into the bar where she was meeting Winnie and gave a small wave to Affy before finding a seat to sit and wait for Winnie. She thought about it for a moment before ordering Bacon Chedder fries and waited.

[attr="class","gummies"] The whole casually dating (were they still casual?) a celebrity was still kind of freaking Winona out. She wasn't as used to photographs as Tib was, especially not unless it was for some mention of the two organizations she was a part of. She definitely wasn't used to paparazzi, or even being anywhere close to involved in the world of the more affluent people. On one hand, she was thrilled to be introduced to all the cool people that he knew. His friends were fascinating creatures, and they were all so funny. On the other hand... Well, Winnie was completely overwhelmed with how they spent their money. It was so funny to watch them just... spend it. She budgeted for her dinners in such a picky way. She made sure that she had just enough ramen to last herself the week. And Tib? And his bandmates? They just tossed galleons when they had them. It was a bit freaky to watch, really. It was like watching Melza try to spend her money. She had sort of gotten used to it, but when Caterina had asked if she wanted to go shopping, Winnie had accepted before thinking of the amount of mental preparation that she was going to need to go through.

She didn't have very much money on her; she could probably get a new pair of pants, and that was it. But Winnie had brought something to eat. A few brownies, a stick of gum, and three packs of sour candies. The staples. And she was going to survive the day, and she was going to have fun. She was excited to get to know Caterina better! She was excited to meet someone that was close to Tib, and she was ready to integrate herself into the friend group a bit more. She was really trying, of course, to get to know everyone. To try to feel around the wizarding rock world and grasp just what the heck was going on with everyone. She wasn't sure how WS2 even felt about her. Probably confused. Well, that was fine. She'd rather that than them hating her.

Winona popped a sour gummy worm in her mouth as she stepped into the bar. A bar was a bit difficult for her to fathom meeting, but that was only because she and Cass and Willa were so poor that they kinda just drank at home unless they were feelin' like spending some dough. And she was feeling it today. So was Caterina, apparently. She was eating some fries when Winnie plopped down across from her. "Oooh, that looks good. Thanks for waiting on me. Hard to get around without magic, you know."

Winnie was the girlfriend of Tib and this excited Cat, because of two reasons. She wanted to Tib to be happy, especially after all that shit with Sabine; and secondly, because she was tired of being the only one to hang out who wasn't in the band. She knew it was a lot and that sometimes they could be annoying or overwhelming or just plain stupid (and yes, that did mean her husband) and sometimes a girl just needed someone to hang out with who wasn't one of the previously listed. Cat had few friends, and though she loved Alayla and loved that she too was now married, their marriages were very different and she just didn't want to be around the baby. She had enough trouble around the triplets really and she didn't need to feel like she wanted a kid. She hated the little assholes and she had been down that road before, and she had done everything she could to get out of it. Her closest secret would remain thus. Thankfully she had not even felt the least bit maternal and the mistake was taken away by her grandfather, placed somewhere never to be seen by Caterina again.

Cat was eating some of her fries with a fork and dunking them into ketchup when Winnie showed up. "Hey, girl!" She said giving the older woman a bright smile. "It's not a problem at all, it's why I drove!" Her car was parked out front with its pretty nameplates. She slid over a fork and winked. "Feel free to have some, I won't feel like such a glutton for eating them." She drank from the glass, a rum and coke, before speaking again. "I'm really glad you could come, it's been a while since I got to do a haul."

[attr="class","nuggetwords"]She wasn’t really too big on shopping. She had never been, really. Winnie was more of a “wear the same clothes most of your life, pick ‘em up in vintage shops” kind of gal. So she was, technically, ahead of the schedule when it came to fashion. She had been wearing clothes from the 70’s since Hogwarts. Her hippy style had just managed to make it into the popular genre for this season! But when she had been asked to go shopping, she had thought it was a good idea. Winona wanted to get to know more of the people in Tib’s life. She already knew the band, but she wasn’t too close with the band girlfriends, or the other wrockstars (or w’rappers? If that was what Justin was). She wanted to show that she was making an effort, and it was important, getting to know your significant other’s friends. She had already dragged Tib to meet Willa and Cass and Elizaveta and the rest of her friends— though he already knew Asher, she thought. Anyway, she had done the same to him, so it was best that she do this. And she liked Cat. She was cool!

She didn’t like shopping, though. At least they had fries. She slid into the booth, sitting across from her friend. “A car? Wow, fancy. Where did you even learn to drive?” She almost exclusively took the Knight Bus, what with being unable to apparate anymore. Even Cara didn’t know how to drive, and she was one of the people Winona knew to be interlaced in the muggle world. Wild. Maybe it had something to do with being loaded? She didn’t know. She stole one of the fries, popping it into her mouth. It tasted weird with the sourness of her gummy worm, but she didn’t care. She was practically starving. Maybe she could order a bit more for herself, too, instead of just mooching off of Cat… Then again, if she did that, she wouldn’t have enough money for attempting to shop.

Since she didn’t really know how high-end they were going, she thought that it was best to save her money now. At least the bar was nice— she had been there once or twice before, and she and Cass had flirted their way to free drinks. “Ooh, these are awesome. So, what’s the goal for today? Where’re we going?”

As a pureblood who was a rebel she didn’t have very many friends, and those that she did have were reaching the stage in their lives where they were moving on to responsibility and to having children, sure she had gotten married but she wasn’t sure if she was ready for all of that yet. She had things that she wanted to do, and maybe school would allow her to have that, but for now, shew as more than happy to keep doing what she was doing and that meant that she would be spending time with her handsome love. He was a brilliant musician and he meant more to her than anything else in this world, she had diamonds and gold but there was only one Van. Thinking of him brought a smile to her face and she wished for a moment that she could have him there to make her laugh or just to hold her.

yes, her husband was her worst addiction but she was sure that she could say there were worst things to be addicted to other than him. She had stopped drinking as she had before, though she did still drink when she and van went out or times when the band was over, she wasn’t drinking like a fish anymore. She wasn’t trying to kill herself with it, or at least, the people around her were acting like she was not.

Looking at the other woman she could see how Van’s best friend was into her. She was so pretty, and she was very kind. He seemed to be rather smitten with her honestly, and she wanted nothing more than for Tib to be happy. After the bullshit that Sabine had put him through, he deserved it. ”My grandfather taught me how it was one of the few things that he wanted us to learn for sure. he wanted to make sure that we could get around when we were in Istanbul and not have to worry about us. I bought the car though when I finished Hogwarts. it was right before Van and I met for the first time. “ She said before laughing softly and tucking hair behind her eyes.

”I thought we could hit High Street and maybe get lost is Harrod’s at some point. It has been so long since I had someone other than Alayla or Zoe to go shopping with.” She had Xiomara, but her sister did not have the same tastes as Cat.

[attr="class","nuggetwords"]The thing was, Winona definitely didn't have enough money to go shopping somewhere fancy. She might be able to swing a few things, but it would all have to be on sale for nearly a million dollars off. Well, that was a bit dramatic. But the theory was the same. She worked two jobs, and even that was barely enough for rent. Her dad had to help her out most of the time, and she knew that her parents were getting more than a bit annoyed at it. Well, she wasn't like Melza, damnit. She didn't end up going with professional Quidditch, much to her cousin's chagrin. Instead she had chosen teaching and being around kids, which she felt was definitely one of her true callings. Quidditch was important, of course, but it was for Quidswitch and the like. It wasn't for her professional career.

They had so much money that they could fling around, Caterina and Tib and Van. She knew it was half from their families and half from their jobs; it was so interesting, though, because she could never figure out which helped out more. Win was more on the 'spend money on food' ground, though, so she was sure she would only be able to buy a belt or something wherever they decided to go. Maybe not even a belt. A scarf? Did she even need a new scarf? She didn't know. She was one of those people that either loved shopping or hated it depending on the day.

She continued to pick at Cat's fries, though. "Interesting. Do you like driving?" She had always preferred flying or taking the Knight Bus, but she knew that it was half of her Quidditch blood and half of her bohemian side pulling her in. Driving had never even been a thought in her mind, not really. "Okay, just lemme eat the rest of your fries, then I'm ready to go."

SATISFIED AND EMPTY INSIDE

THAT'S ALRIGHT
LET'S GIVE THIS ANOTHER TRY

This was the life that she had been raised to live. The life that she had been taught to live, to spend money, be a pretty face at home to welcome her husband home, a mother to children who would follow their beliefs. Everything that she was doing already, save for the last one. They had more money than sense according to her sister and Caterina had no problem spending it. She didn't brag about it, she didn't rub it in people's faces and she went out of her way to spend it on those that she liked and her friends. It was the way that she was. It wasn't pitying or anything, she just liked giving people gifts. She was a kind person beneath all the partying and insanity. Yes, she was a Slytherin, but she still cared about others, because being good to them meant they were good to her in turn and got her what she wanted.

"Yeah, I love it. Really comes in handy too since I lost my magic, makes getting around faster and less messy than Flooing." Merlin knew she wasn't about to ruin her good shoes by walking somewhere further than a block. "I hope you don't mind, but I do intend to spoil you today. It's been a while since I have been able to take anyone shopping, and my sister is in school. Tib already knew this was my plan, so no arguing okay? I love shopping and it's so much fun to have mini fashion shows and just be stupid." She threw her money at shops so they let her have what she wanted. It was a fun time to be certain. She just hopes Winnie was going to be in on it.

No rush. The first few shops are just down the way so we can walk there. Burn off some of the calories. " And the alcohol, burn that off too. She couldn't help but smile as she looked at the list on her cell. She had a plan, oh this was going to be so much fun!
