Nothing Wrong at all


It wasn't wrong, Walburga told herself as she pulled the hood further down her face and turned into Knockturn Alley. Not wrong at all.

She glanced around in disgust, her gaze falling on the filthy cobbles, knowing that her boots would be ruined. Sighing to herself, she set off down the dirty street, not meeting the gaze of all those that were below her.

Her eyes barely lingered on the shops, and she searched for one that would meet her needs - a shop her girlfriends spoke about.

She stopped next to an old shop. She knew from the description that she was in the right place.

She walked in the open doorway, her fingers on her wand, and headed straight for the grubby, slimy looking man at the counter.

He leered at her, even though he couldn't see her face, and she suppressed a shudder. How dare a man like that think he could look upon her in such a way?

"Your most potent and long-lasting love potion," she demanded, before he could get a word out. She pulled out a pouch of coins, setting it on the counter in front of her.

He eyed the bag just as greedily as he had eyed her moments ago. "We have ones that will last a month," he said. "As for potency, I would suggest a weaker one to start, and then a build-up."

"Why?" she demanded.

"People will question a sudden infatuation, should you build it up, it will seem more natural."

"Yes," she murmured. "That is suitable."

It wasn't long before she walked from the shop, eager to use the first potion. She only needed them until she had supplied a heir, becoming indispensable to the Wizard.

Yes, there was nothing wrong with loving Orion Black. Nothing wrong at all.
