Another day in the office stuck behind a desk and no windows to stare out of. Brandon finished up some paperwork that he left from yesterday and got up to place them on Horace's desk. On his way back to his cubicle, Brandon looked around at the other Unspeakables. Some were immersed in books and photos, while a few went to the other chambers for experimentation. He was assigned to observe the time chamber and do inventory on the time-turners. There was very little in stock, and not many wizards and witches were in possession of one without the Ministry's knowledge. It was a boring task that didn't consume a lot of his time, so he took his coat to leave for the rest of the day.
Brandon followed behind some wizards through the doors to the outside and turned down the sidewalk on his left. He bid a few 'Farewells' and 'See you tomorrow'. It was still daylight and he had plenty of time to shop for a few things. There was a little chill in this October air, but it was nice compared to the sweltering summer they had to endure. He glanced around and spotted the first place he needed to go into, Wand*Mart. That place is always busy every hour of the day and he tries to make it in and out as quickly as he can. So, once he was inside, he took a basket and headed off to the grocery side.
It took him a good half hour to finally get out of that place, much to his annoyance. However, he grabbed the essentials to making roast chicken, sauteed green beans, and roasted garlic potatoes for dinner tonight. Also he grabbed a couple bottles of red wine to pair with dinner. He continued on to the next place, which happened to be his favorite little bakery. They have the best baked goods he's ever had since leaving Hogwarts. He was inside for a few minutes and left with a small pink box of assorted treats. The women in there knew what he liked because he always came in for the same things, but every once in awhile they would convince him to try something new. Today was one of those days.
He took a seat at a nearby bench, setting his bags down beside his legs. He then placed the small pink box on his lap and opened it to reveal a couple pumpkin pasties, a piece of chocolate gateau, and a couple butterbeer cupcakes. The women insisted he purchase the cupcakes, and he obviously wasn't going to turn them down. Also, they combined two of his loves, butterbeer and cupcakes. So, it had to be delicious. He grabbed one out of the box and took a large bite which left traces of icing on the sides of his mouth. It was obvious that he enjoyed the cupcake because you could hear the loud groan rumble from his chest. "Yep. Best cupcake ever. Those ladies never disappoint." He smiled as he took another bite.
