Chapter 2
"What is this place?" Hermione asked as she stepped out of the outdoor fireplace, only to see a bench for two, with some candles lit around them.
"This is my parents garden, that was why I wanted to floo here, so we could be somewhere private," Charlie answered, as he helped his date into a chair, before taking his own seat, "My families house elves prepared pasta with shrimp, and a chocolate pie for desert, with a bottle of red wine direct from our families vinyard."
"Your family owns house elves?" Asked a not so impressed witch, as she set her napkin on her lap.
"They're rescued from abusive families, who either died out and needed a home, or were sent to jail for breaking our laws," Answered the wizard, just as a little elf popped in with two plates, wearing a tie die t-shirt, and a flower head band around it's small head.
"Hello Macy," Charlie greeted the creature, patting it's shoulder with a smile, "The food smells amazing, I want you to meet Miss Hermione Granger-Malfoy."
The little elf bowed, so low that her nose touched her painted toes, "Macy is honored Miss, she hear all about Miss, and is happy to serve. Macy's people free her, and gave her work here, when old master past away."
Hermione smiled at the creature, as she reached out her hand, for the small elf to take, "I love your shirt, did you do it yourself?"
"Macy does shirt herself, Lady of house buy's me shirts, and dies as payment making Macy very happy," Answered a happy Macy, as she took the offered hand, and brought it to her cheek, "Macy happy young master, he finds good witch to date, not like-"
"That's enough Macy, let us eat our food please," The Chief interrupted, smiling at the young woman, once the elf had vanished, "She loves to talk."
"She's a sweet elf," The witch explained, as she began to eat her food, "This is the best shrimp pasta I ever had."
"Dobson, he's the one that cooks all the meals, and get's paid in fun aprons. Each one of our elves get paid in what suit's there personality, since none of them will except money from us. Pugsy get's paid in overalls, Tyra get's paid in doll dresses since she love's to dress up, Friday get's paid in photo albums since he loves taking pictures, and you know the other two's payment."
"I pay August in suspenders, and toddler pants, since he likes to wear them while going out," The young witch explained, as she leaned back in her chair, and brought her glass of wine to her mouth, "Your family makes there own wine too, where do they sell it at?"
"Mother, and Tyra, they sale bottles at a Farmer Market in seattle, of course mother has a charm to make Tyra look like a little girl to everyone. That is there weekly outing, and then mother gets her dresses at a vendor that makes doll clothes," Charlie laughed at his dates surprised expression, causing her to blush a little, "I know that because when I was a little boy, everyone thought Tyra was my little sister, with mothers illusion charm on her. Tyra was also my nanny elf, and one of the oldest in the house, besides Dobson."
"You guys take such great care of your house elf's, it's nice to know that not all pure-blood families treat there elves like slaves," Explained the young woman, smiling as a slice of chocolate pie appeared in front of her, "How did you know chocolate was my favorite?"
"Because I am often in the diner, when you order one of the chocolate deserts, after finishing your meals," Answered Charlie, as he began to eat his own, "I wanted you to have good Italian food, and knew Dobson made the best of everything, you should try his enchilada's, and chili relano's."
"Sounds like another date," Teased the young woman, reaching across the table, and giving her dates hand a squeeze, "and it sound delicious."
Three Months Later
"Charlie?"
"Yes dear?" Asked Charlie, as he laid on his sofa, with an arm wrapped around the witch's waist, "What's on your mind?"
"Nothing, just my shop opening, and what your parents think," She asked turning to face her companion, and running her fingers through his messy brown hair.
"They are excited knowing we're dating, since I told my mom a couple weeks ago, when I went to visit there shop. You would had thought my dad never seen me before, when he saw me step into the shop," He chuckled as he remembered his parents reaction.
"That explains why your mother brought me a basket of ingredients, and keeps hugging me whenever she see's me now," Hermione explained with a smile, than thought about his daughter, "Have you told Bella, and her family, they deserve to know."
"Told Bella, the day I took you on our first date, and Alice, picked out a wardrobe for me. I don't always look that good," The Chief answered, bringing his hand to her cheek, and softly kissing her lips. "They actually want me to invite you for dinner."
"I like the Cullins," The witch explained, remembering from when she interviewed the coven, when she worked for the DOM. "I think Alice, she might had known we would happen, the way she kept looking at me."
"She can see the future, depending on our decisions right?" Charlie asked sitting up, and pulling the young woman with him, "We should get going, before my mother sends a howler for us."
"Do I look alright?" Asked the witch, as she went up to his bathroom, and looked herself over in the mirror, "I want to make a good impression, since this is our first time going to there house as a couple, and not just on our own."
"You look beautiful." He wrapped his arms around from behind her, and placed a gentle kiss to her crown, "We'll apperate there if you want to side along."
She nodded as she wrapped an arm around his waist, and rested her head against his chest, "I trust you."
(Line Break)
As soon as the couple appeared, Hermione, was pulled into a bone crushing hug, by the matron of the shop. She looked at the older witch, and smiled at Charlie, "Think there happy to see me."
"Happy that our son is with a fine young lady, no one deserves to be alone," The older wizard explained, coming out from in front of the shop, holding a basket full dried rose petals, "These are for your book shop, so when the costumers come in, they can smell the sweet scent of wild roses."
"Oliver, you really didn't have to," She wrapped her arm around the older wizard, as his son took the basket from him, "Thank you for coming to the opening, it'll be nice to have people I know."
Oliver walked over to his wife, and wrapped his arms around her, as he looked at the young witch, "Robin, and I, we have been looking forward to your opening, and have invited some of our friends to come."
Charlie used his free hand to take a hold of the witches, as he turned to leave the shop, "If we don't get going now, the long line of people might thing, that you cancled the opening."
Hermione hurried to the door, and saw a long line of witch, wizards, and other creatures waiting in line, right outside the red door of her shop. She ran her fingers through her hair, as she turned to look at the three, "How do I look, I w-"
Robin took the young woman in her arms, and gave a reassuring hug, before leading her out of the potions shop, and to her own shop, "Best to get it over with Deary."
A new confidence resided in the younger witch, as she stood in front of her door, and faced the line of people, "I want to thank you all for coming to the grand openeing of 'The Lion and Serpent Bookshop', and hope you find everything to your hearts content. You will get a free quill with your purchases today, and if you need any assistance, please feel free to ask one of the elves. Remember they are not here to serve you, but to assist you if you need anthing." She turned and waved her wand at the door, causing it to open for the guest, "Enjoy your visit."
Oliver walked around the shop, tossing rose petals all about, as his wife stood behind the counter with the witch. He had reddish brown hair, and dark brown eyes, and stood at about six-one like his son. He was wearing traditional robes, with a muggle tie with books on it around his neck. He smiled as he talked to some of the guest.
Robin stood at about five-five, with long brown hair in a tight bun, and green eyes. She wear a muggle sun dress with a sweater. She smiled as people paid for there books, as she placed quills in there bags.
Charlie had his mothers face, but was tall like his dad, and had his eyes. He was climbing up ladders, as he reached for books costumers wanted. He walked to where the witch of the hour was stand, and wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist, "Everyone is thankful they finally opened a bookstore here, now they don't have to go to Salem, which has the only other bookstore in the USA."
"I can't believe how much business we're getting, and it's only been three hours since we opened," The young witch explained, she smiled as she watch August, and Robin, as they rung up costumers.
"Draco, he would had been proud of you, it's going to be a huge success," Charlie placed a kiss to his girlfriends cheek, before going to go stand with his dad.
Everything was working out.
