Jameson Properties, 46 Diagon Alley, London, England
4th September 1996
Stephen Jameson was sitting at his desk, looking over a list of properties that he had for sale in the Wizarding World. Several people had recently put their properties on the market following the revelation that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named had returned, having been sighted in the Ministry of Magic by, the now former Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.
Stephen had a property on the coast near Tinworth that was for sale called Shell Cottage, but despite his various attempts to do so, he had failed to do so, all because of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named returning, meaning that his sales were down.
Suddenly the bell of the office rang, with Stephen looking to see who it was that had entered. Seeing a young couple, he knew that he might be able to get a sale that day, and even possibly be able to sell off the Tinworth cottage that had plagued him!
"Good afternoon sir, madam, welcome to Jameson Properties." He said, smiling at the couple. "How can I help you today?"
The man, a redhead gentleman with long hair and what looked like a dragon fang earring looked at him back. "Good afternoon to you too. My name is Bill Weasley, and I am looking for a cottage for my fiancé and I."
"Are you a first time buyer sir?" Stephen asked, hoping that he was one, especially as he would then be able to obtain some extra money in his commission.
"Yes I am a first time buyer in Britain" Bill said. Casting a passive Legilimency spell on the estate agent, he could see that he was going to try and screw him over by charging extra money for a mortgage. "I do have, however, enough money through my employers at Gringotts, having worked with them for years as a treasure hunter."
Bill's fiancé, Fleur Delacour, looked at a list of properties that she had seen in the window when she saw the property that the salesman had tried a number of times to sell, Shell Cottage.
"William, I really like this property." Fleur said to Bill, smiling. "I think we ought to have a look at it."
A few weeks later Shell Cottage was registered to William Weasley and Fleur Delacour, allowing them to move in. Bill never regretted afterwards allowing Fleur to drag him cottage shopping.
