Albus, being the utterly fantastic friend he was, had found himself dressing that morning with the intention of going out and finding Sebastian a birthday present. He fully intended to find one for Chloe, too, but he'd elected to wait until Rose's body was less attached to Seth's and drag her along to help him. Molly was out with one of the girls, and Dominique was not someone he considered suitable to invite out for presents-shopping for one Sebastian Theodore Nott. Roxanne could have worked, he supposed, but he'd already written to her about presents for Seb, and he reckoned it might be overkill to show up at her flat and ask for her. Or even worse, he thought to himself, Dom could have heard me.
Legitimately considering buying Seb a talking mirror and a maid's costume, Albus was now taking stock of all the stores around Diagon Alley. He could go to Malkin's, and get Seb some 'official looking' clothes for his new Ministry Official position that he wouldn't zip it about, or to his uncle's shop and find some ridiculous contraption or some pheromone-affecting concoction, though anything related to pheromones or the like was probably a very bad idea.
Hoping someone would show up and help him -- divine intervention would be appreciated -- or that he'd be struck by some spark of inspiration, Albus carefully scanned the surrounding area, pivoting on the spot. He was so focused on his processing that he didn't even notice someone coming straight towards him.
ooc: anybody, really! sorry it's so lame lol. title credit to switchfoot <333

((ooc hope this is alright, lovely :3)
Teddy was more than happy to get off work early. It wasn't that busy a day, which was surprising. Summer was always the busiest, with new students looking for wands, old students and adults coming over to fix their wands (because summer was the only time they had to come all the way to Diagon Alley, or to find time). But this particular day had low activity, and he'd been let off early. The shop wasn't left unattended, but it was low on activity - enough for him to leave now and make up for it by clocking in early the next day. He didn't mind his job, but even he was starting to get fidgety being cooped up between the ceiling high shelves with rows and rows of tiny boxes. Having said his goodbyes for the day, he decided to walk down the alley, given that his apartment wasn't that far away.
He was just admiring a fancy looking broom on one of the displays, when he clumsily (he never failed to apply this trait he'd inherited from his mother) ran into a figure standing not far from him. "Oof - I am so - Albus!" he exclaimed, straightening himself out and glad that it was no stranger he may have accidentally offended. He didn't like offending people for no reason, but he was comforted that even if he happened to have offended Albus, it was somebody who was used to seeing Teddy's clumsy ways. Smiling at the man - he still couldn't wrap his head around the concept of him not being just a boy - whom he thought of as a brother, he felt happier immediately.
"Hello. What brings you here?" he asked, curious.

Albus, in the process of his scanning of the alley, felt the impact of something—or someone—colliding with him. Alarmed, he looked up, ready to fix someone with a startled and somewhat irritated glance, but upon catching his balance and turning the forced stumble into a rather fluid save, he stood up and caught eye of Teddy. At Teddy's interrupted apology, Albus felt himself starting to grin—it was so Teddy, really, to crash into someone and begin to apologise but forget halfway through because he recognised them.
Albus had missed Teddy quite a lot the last few years, mainly because of his time at Hogwarts, but somewhat because of Teddy's own life, too. Still, all that just increased his genuine pleasure at seeing Teddy, especially by chance. While Albus knew that Teddy was't actually his relative and that James was technically his only brother, Albus had considered Teddy one for so long that actual facts of the matter made no difference to him whatsoever.
At the question, he shrugged. "Looking for a present for Seb's birthday," he offered by way of explanation. "It's not going too well. Right now, my ideas are a talking mirror that'll tell him he's beautiful and abuse his hair, and one of those 'sexy' maid costumes, along with James, who Seb would apparently like to see in one," he informed Teddy, the exasperation in his tone making the theoretical quotation marks around the word 'sexy' very clear. He frowned slightly. "Not that I'm not happy to see you—I'm stoked—but aren't you usually still at work right now?"
ooc. it's glorious, brookie! sorry it took so long, waaah!

"It's Seb's birthday?" Teddy asked, confused. He knew, by some weird link somewhere, he was related to Sebastian Nott. They both shared cousins. But he'd given up on figuring it all out, because if he tried to then he'd end up finding himself being linked to more than half the wizarding community (thanks to his grandmother's Black family roots, and their tendency to be related to almost everyone). He found that very exhausting, and a little disgusting. It was weird enough that he'd dated Victoire and now had a - whatever it was - with Molly, while every other Weasley was like a cousin to him. Shaking his head, he shrugged. "When is it?"
"Sexy maid costume? I don't really know how that'll work out, unless he particularly takes to cross dressing from time to time," he said, scratching the back of his head. "Maybe I can ask Scorpius?" he suggested, although he felt a bit awkward saying it. Albus was clearly here to buy the present right now and getting to Scorpius could take time. Besides, if Albus wanted suggestions from the Malfoy kid, he'd have asked him on his own. "Never mind...I'm sure the mirror is a good call. Bold..but good call. And let's face it, it'll be an amusement for everyone."
"Yeah, business is weirdly slow today, so I left early," Teddy shrugged. "It really doesn't take long to get used to all those shelves and cleaning up broken objects from accidental magic."
