The days her mother announced that it was a Hogwarts shopping day had been some of the most exciting in recent weeks. Today, was one of the less exciting ones, but delightful none the less - paper, ink and quills! She had still dressed up as grown up as possible, her dark, naturally straight hair, tortured into curls. Her mother wanted no expense spared for Honoria's education - associating her with a better class of girl, would, in the end, bring her into the company of a better class of gentleman. Her mother was playing a long game.
She had made an immediate tally of the Hogwarts aged students in the shop as soon as she had entered, and her mother had steered her over near to where a young girl was perusing the stock near to Mister Pettegrew and was validated when the girl had asked her if she was for Hogwarts. Honoria nodded very enthusiastically. 'I can't wait!' she squeaked very enthusiastically, in a tone that her mother would disapprove of as too childish. 'It's so soon now!' it was all she could do to stop herself jumping up and down in glee.
