2. Night Changes
Fleur had been in the Diagon Alley for a whole day and she decided to take a rest in the Rosa Lee Teabag. She would've chosen to get a fire whiskey in the Leaky Cauldron but as she had been there for lunch and had gotten way too much attention that she liked. Wizards coming up to her and wondering if she'd like a drink and all that.
She tried to keep her words to a bare minimum, try to head them away as soon as possible. But it wasn't easy, it was like batting away a fly.
"A cup of latte, please." She told the waitress.
"Welcoming a late night, eh darling. Of course, a cup of latte coming up." The waitress hurried off to take the order.
Fleur was riffling through her files, as she was applying for a job at Gringotts, and she was making sure that everything was in check and that they had no reason to not hire her. She sighed, maybe she was just pushing it.
The door opened and a warm wind came caught its chances and crawled through the cracks and into the tea shop.
The person who had just came in, looked around, spotted Fleur and approached her.
"Do you mind if I sit here?"
She looked up and saw a tall handsome guy around his twenties. With his red hair tied in a ponytail and earrings shaped like dragon claws. She found that she didn't mind and nodded, moving her bag to her other side.
"Hi, I'm Bill. Bill Weasley." The guy introduced himself.
Then it was like something clicked. She remembered him. "Aren't you, aren't you one of the Weasley's who came to Hogwarts to see Harry? At the Triwizard Tournament?" Bill smiled, he was so handsome. "Yes, that's me."
He looked down at all the files cluttered around the cafe table. "If you don't mind me asking, what are all this?"
"I'm going to apply for a desk job at Gringotts tomorrow. I do not know if I shall get it or not, but I am doing my best, yes?" She replied.
The latte that she ordered came. She took a sip before Bill had anything else to say. "And what will you do if you don't get the job? Not that I mean, you won't get it, I am sure you will."
She gave a sweet tingling laugh. "When life gives you lemons, you take a deep breath, and crack open a bottle of tequila. At least, that's what I think."
He gazed at her, it made her kind of uncomfortable, not in the bad way, of course, only that he made her blush, for whatever reason. "And I find what you think illuminating." She gave another shy smile. She found that she had nothing left to say.
"I also work at Gringotts, as a cursebreaker, and I was wondering if you'd like me to be with you as you apply for the job tomorrow?" He offered, after around a minute of silence.
Fleur looked up. "Yes, I'd like that very much, Bill."
