Fred Weasley gazed avidly out side his shop window; Thinking that he
would like nothing more than to cause a very painful death to the person
that developed the formula for rain. He was brooding over the fact that he
would not get home in time to play a "just for fun" quiditch game with
Harry, Ron, Ginny, Tom and Rick but would probably be stuck inside taking
inventory "If only we had some help around here. I could get them to do it
all" he thought to himself. He was just thinking about the fastest way to
commit suicide with a rag and a bottle of Clarissa Cleanness's magical-
anything-not-clean-or-
"FRED!" Fred jumped and gave a small yelp at being a dressed un- warningly without the slightest bit of a warning by his twin"
"Wha?" Fred answered uncertainly.
"Oy!" "I've been sayin' your name for ten minutes. We got a customer" he finished nodding his head toward the door. Fred also noticed that he was looking a mixture of worried and hysterical.
The moment Fred turned around her could see why. Standing in the door way was a woman. She wasn't just like any woman; she had elbow length espresso brown hair, porcelain skin, and the most brilliant green eyes he had ever seen. She wore muggle clothes; a pair of faded blue jeans and a black fitted T-shirt with all the hems cut off, over that she wore a hot pink tank-top. Her accessories were a different story, she wore a pair of ratty, royal blue Chuck-Taylor sneakers and perched up top her head was a turquoise blue sparkly cowboy hat.
Fred was awoken by Georges prod in the ribs. He signaled toward the girl and Fred realized that his mouth was wide open. "May we help you?" Fed asked trying not to stair to too much at that irregular hat
She looked absolutely petrified by being addressed so directly "Erm...I think." She paused as if trying to force the sentence out of her self. "You have a Help wanted sign up...and I need a job" she finished frankly. He noted that she spoke with an American accent
Fred and George exchanged looks. George shrugged and left to go down to the base ment. "Well what kind of magical back round do you have?" he asked, thinking that she looked vaguely familiar
"Well I lived in America until I was nine and then my parents moved to France because they are both Magical photographers, and then I got the letter when I was eleven. I had been accepted to Hogwarts. After I graduated. Witch was just a few months ago I qualified for Auror training, so I need a job to put me through that." She said as if she had said it one- thousand times before.
Fred nodded. "Well we will need you to fill out this résumé' and give it back to us tomorrow so we can decide."
The girl took the resume' and stuck it underneath her hat and walked out. Fred looked after her then realized that he didn't even know her name. He ran out of the store and down Diagon Alley, but she was no-where to be seen. He trudged up to his store and helped Georges with inventory.
Torri felt the warm water run through her hair and down her back, she could here the muffled sound of the radio and her two roommates voices, Salem and Ray Anne. There was a knock on the door and Salem poked her tan face in the door "Torri! Are you gonna be done soon!" she demanded.
Torri shut off the tap and pulled on a thin purple towel "Why, got a date with that mystery wizard again tonight?" Salem had been seeing the same person for three weeks now and Ray Anne and Torri still had no idea who he was.
"Never you mind!" snapped Salem as she tapped her wand on the sink and it immediately began to discharge hot water from the silver tap. Torri noticed a hint of a smile on Salem's face
Torri ran into the living room and threw herself next to Ray Anne on the deep couch that Ray Anne used as a bed. "Fine, don't tell us! We'll just stalk you any way." She teases as Salem slammed the door on a hurt looking Ray Anne who picked up Torri's application.
"Victoria, what would you say was you best subject in school?" she asked trying to act like a reporter but failing miserably.
Torri stared at her with a blank expression "Hmmm...Well everyone knows that I was the best at charms but I was also a bombshell at potions"
Ray Anne laughed, the day Torri was good at potions was the day that Harry Potter was the heir of Slytherin. Just then there was a knock on the door, Torri was busy filing out her resume' when Ray Anne screamed "Go Away!"
"Ray Anne!" Torri said while she got up to answer the door, but just as she about reached out for the door knob Ray Anne came and pushed her out of the way with her elbow, Torri figured that their must me some one on important on the other side of the door or else Ray Anne wouldn't have acted like a lunatic. She didn't question this Ray Anne normally had her reasons for acting like a complete buffoon.
Ray Anne answered the door, standing there was a tall black haired man with green eyes, "Oh, Salem's dating a celebrity" she thought looking at the lightning shaped scar on his fore head.
"HARRY POTTER!?!?!?!" Ray Anne screamed so loudly she sent their house elf, Rosy, fleeing up-stairs in fear. "Oh my God!!!" Ray Anne had been one of Harry's adoring groupies back in Hogwarts. "Can you sign my broomstick!?!?!" At this comment Harry gave the door a second look as if it would be an excellent date for the night instead of Salem.
Torri interrupted "She doesn't really have a broomstick you know...she was being literal."
"I figured" said Harry as if that though had never had occurred to him before.
"Oh..well never mind then" Torri said while going back to her resume'. Harry was looking at the door now as if he would like to kiss it if it said "yes" to dating him. Torri got the impression that Harry fancied lumber a tad bit more than humans.
Right on queue, Salem came out of the bathroom, her black hair curled into ringlets, her make up was simple an she was wearing robes of dark green "to match Harry's eyes." Of Coursed Torri didn't say this out loud she had had enough to deal with without having Salem's boy friend hate her
"Where are you going?!" Ray Anne said sounding more like Salem's father than a friend, which was saying something, Salem's dad was an Amish Christian farmer.
"To the park and then to the Tree Broomsticks to visit a friend" Harry said looking taken aback by Ray Anne's rude comment.
"Ok well have a good time then." Torri said winking to Salem as she shut the door behind them. Giving Ray Anne one last reproachful look she walked back to the living room and started on her resume'. After about an hour Ray Anne said she couldn't stand those two having fun and her stuck in the house, so she left to go to the village that they live in , Hogsmeade.
