Chapter 1: Help Wanted

Bree Riordan was walking along the streets of Diagon Alley looking for a business called Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, which she heard was hiring. As she turned around the street corner she noticed a big building at the end with a big head on top with a top hat and a vanishing rabbit, she had a hunch this was it. She entered the store and noticed how big and full of store items it was. She was looking at an item called Puking Pastilles when she heard someone clearing his throat.

"Hi welcome to Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes, my name is Fred how may I help you?"

She turned around and saw an attractive red-head standing there and from what she heard, she knew he was the owner.

"My name is Bree Riordan and I heard you were hiring and I would like to apply for the job."

She saw a smile form on Fred's face as he said,

"Well, well, well looks like we have a new victim here to apply for this here joke shop. Why don't you follow me to my office and George and I will give you an interview."

As they walked into the back office she became confused.

"I thought I had to apply before I get an interview."

Fred turned and looked at her as they entered.

"Normally that how we do it but we need to hire someone right away cause our business is really picking up and you look like you have a lot of potential."

She smiled at what he said cause she never heard that from anyone before. She grew up with a mom and dad who thought she would never amount to anything in her life. Just then someone walked into the room who looked exactly like Fred, she looked from Fred to the other guy. The twins looked at each other and smiled.

"George this is Bree Riordan, Bree this is George my funny yet less attractive twin, she's here for an interview to work here." Fred said as George gave him a dirty look.

She chuckled at George's glare and looked back at Fred.

"Well Fred is definitely better looking. I wonder if he's single?" she thought to herself.

"Hiya Bree," he said as he held his hand out for her to shake, " welcome to our productive business."

She shook his and then let it go as Fred gestured for her to sit down.

"Well why don't we get started then."

Half an hour later...

They all stood up and walked out of the office. Bree looked around and noticed that alot of people had just walked in and started browsing. Fred and George looked at each other and nodded. Fred went in front of her and said, " Well considering you had a very good interview and we are a little understaffed today. How would you like to start right now?"

She looked at him with a flirtasious smile, "Well don't mind if I do. Where would you like me to start?"

Fred kind of blushed at her smile then gathered his thoughts and looked around, " We'll have you just walk around and assist the customers then when things die down I can show you how to work the front counter."

She gave a nod then started to head out to the store floor and walked up to a group of teenage girls who were looking at the love potions, " Hello there lady's welcome to Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes how may I help you?"

Off in the distance Fred and George were watching her talk to the two girls. All of a sudden Fred felt his brother nudge him and say, " So Feorge what do you think of her, I saw her give you that smile."

Fred turned and looked at him, " Well Gred I think she's great, picked up on everything quickly," He noticed George gave him a look that he knew what it meant, " I know what your thinking but I just met her and she's one of our new employees." George just smiled then said, "Ok whatever you say dear brother." They looked back at the front and saw that most of the customers were either at the counter or out the door, they glanced at each other then back just as Bree walked up.

" Ok so everyone has been taken care of would you like me to stock anything?"

The twins smiled in astonishment, " Yeah sure that would be great. Why don't you follow me to the storage and I'll show you what to do." Fred said. They both walked to the storage room and Bree glanced around at all the boxes of supplies.

"So you gotta tell me how you helped all those customers so fast," he said with a smile.

She looked at him and thought to herself, "he has a really cute smile."

"I've developed great people skills over the years and it always comes in handy when your new to places." Fred came up to her and started to grab some boxes of love potions. "Look Fred I just wanted to thank you and George for giving me this job, I've been looking for a way to get out my house. I'm always cooped up there with nothing to do half the time." Fred saw her give him a sweet smile and noticed she had deep blue eyes and and a perfect smile.

"It's no problem at all, it seems like your going to help us out alot here." As he said that he looked down and noticed that their hands were close together and they accidentally brushed against each other. They both back up a bit blushing. "Well I think we should get back out there with this s-stuff before George starts to think we are up to something." Fred said as he grabbed the rest of the boxes and so did Bree then they headed back out into the store. George saw them walk back out," Well there you two are I was about to send out a search party." He saw that there was a bit of awkwardness between the two.

"Well I think I'll go and start stocking these." she said as she grabbed her wand, made the boxes she and Fred were carrying and walked away.

George walked up to his brother with a puzzled look, "OK what happened with you two back there?" Fred sighed and looked over at Bree to she her stocking the Puking Pastilles, then looked back at George, " When we were in the back she said she wanted to thank us for giving her this job and then the next thing I knew our hands lightly brushed against each other," He saw George giving him that smile, " George don't give me that look, I don't want to jeopardize her job here by having a relationship with her. We should just stay friends and co-workers." Just then Bree walked up to them, " Is there anything else you guys would like me to do?"

Fred gave George a look then said, "Actually no I think that's all for today. I can teach you the cash register tomorrow when you get here." Bree gave them both a smile then gathered her things, "Ok I'll see you guys tomorrow then. Bye." She said, waved to them, and then walked out of the store. After that Fred and George locked up and headed up to their flat for the rest of the evening.
