"Oh Albus dear, we seem to be out of quite a few food items," Rose muttered as she inspected the store room, taking stock of what remained.
Pursing her lips, she added. "Whatever shall we do?"
Albus appeared at the store entrance at that moment, his brows raised as he scrutinized the room illuminated by a single oil lamp.
"Well, we should be able to get by a few more days, right?"
"That won't do at all," Rose remarked. "Astra is almost 70 days long and it is assured that with the current state of things, foodstuffs would surely get scarcer with time. Waiting till we are completely out of supplies won't be good."
"So what do you suggest we do?"
"Would you be a darling and head over to the market to get a few items?... It would be really helpful."
Albus gawked. "Just yesterday you said I shouldn't leave the house even after I'd said I only wished to head to the library to collect a few books, now you wish for me to head to the market?"
