Gideon Prewett was on a mission. To survive Diagon Alley with all the frantic mums and dads trying to get their sons and daughters back-to-school books and other bits. Gideon Prewett was not doing so well.
So far he had been jostled around a total of 47 times, has had to say 'excuse me' 51 time, has been given dirty looks by elderly women 32 times (well excuse him if they don't keep their children on leashes once in a while. It's not his fault he was born freakishly tall...) and has been smacked in the head by birds let out of their cages 7 times. He feels like he's going to step on a small child. Charlie and Bill and Percy were never this hard to manage. This must be a cruel and unusual joke. All he wanted was to stock up in the Alchemy shop. He was running low on potions supplies. He swears, that's all he needs.
Why must life be so DIFFICULT.

It was the first time Marlene had see this as someone from the sidelines. The craziness was mental (the screaming of the needed children was the worst) and she could not handle it much more.

And then this giant man hit her in the back hard, and she nearly toppled over, and when she whirled around to knock out his teeth, she found it was a very charming young man.

"Bloody hell, Gideon, you trying to kill me?"

"If I was, would you come back to haunt me forever for it? Because I have to tell you, Marlene, that'd really be a pain in the ass and would almost make the actual act pointless," Gideon mentioned with a small smile. "But I can't handle this right now! It takes me two hours to get from the Leaky Cauldron to Flourish and Blotts. It normally takes me ten minutes tops. What is the matter with these people? I haven't seen witches so psyched up since I went to a Stubby Boardman concert."

	Marlene laughed and shrugged. "Probably all going batty over the sales. Never seen anything like it. Hey," she suddenly thought of something. "Maybe if you pick me up, and run around with me screaming 'OUT OF THE WAY, WOMAN'S IN LABOR!' then people would move for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't look fat," he said bluntly. "But maybe if I move fast enough, people wont notice. Try to look as bloated as possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She expanded her stomach and suddenly yelled. "GIDEON, MY WATER BROKE!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"GET OUT! GET OUT OF THE WAY! WOMAN IN LABOR. SO READY TO POP A BABY OUT OF HER YOU-KNOW-WHERE!" Scooped her up and barreled through. "OUT OF THE WAY. MOVE IT. SHE'S READY TO EXPLODE!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She crossed her fingers that her face looked more like she was crying, and her laughter sounded like moans of pain. But she had a feeling she wasn't pulling it off. At all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"NO, MAN, SERIOUSLY! SHE'S REALLY GOING TO BLOW ANY SECOND!" He paused to laugh at how dirty that sounded and then became extremely serious. Gideon Prewett was a chameleon. Sprinting, he ran into the store for the potions supplies. He didn't know how that would help a woman in labor, but hey, he doesn't judge you.
Total number of children possibly injured by an extremity of Marlene or barreled over by Gideon: 16
Total number of people who looked at Marlene close enough to see that she was, in fact, not pregnant: 52
Total number of curses he heard out of people's mouths: too many to count
"Man, witches can swear like sailors."

	"And sailors can curse like witches." Merlin, she was funny. She should go into comedy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And witches could probably fake pregnancy better," he said, putting her down once inside the shop. "Don't they have spells for people who want to fake it or something? Like people that want to cause their boyfriends infinite amounts of distress?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
