Chapter 10: Finding it!
Walking down the small narrow road in Diagon ally, Severus made is second stop at Scribbulus Everchanging Inks.
After a while of buying a new set quills and few more rolls of parchment papers, Severus started to walk again on the narrow path.
But something quickly caught the corner of his eye…
A medium size diamond necklace that was part neck choker and that it had a spider web design that hanged about five inches from the neck line but Severus looked closely and he could see a serpent in it and it had a green like shimmer to it.
'This is it! The perfect give!' the voice rang in the back of Severus head as he walked in the small shop.
Aura woke up in the middle of the night and tried hard as she could, she couldn't go back to sleep.
Tossed for the tenth time, and looking at the clock on the table night stand, it read five in the morning.
Letter out a deep and harsh sigh, she scooted to the end of the bed and started to think about what exactly she was going to give to Severus.
She want to give him something that he could use everyday but at the same time, it could not get in his way…
'I could always asked my brothers by the floo networks…'Aura said to herself as she stepped in to the shower stall.
'But no, because they will ask me like a million questions and they would gossip and it will spread faster than a fire caught in a field on a hot day in the middle of July.'
Aura eyes popped open, stopped what she was doing and slammed her head against the shower stall. She really needed to stop listing to her Texan friend, Maria.
Severus walked out the small jewelry shop with a medium size jewelry box.
He can't still believe the look on the jewelers face when he gave him the amount that he asked for.
79 Galleons, 7 Sickles, and 15 Knuts was the final price and the jeweler said two other gentlemen were making payments for the past few months but he said that he gave no promises if somebody else came in a bought it in one payment.
Severus gave the jeweler 85 Galleons if he would have it gift wrapped and ready by tomorrow.
Giving out a rare but light chuckle as he walked around a few times before he walked back to the carriage and gave the driver word to head back to the manor.
Aura sighed as she started to walk around the mini-mart like area before she decided to stop by the nearest restaurant and decided to order some tacos.
While taking a bite out of her bean n' cheese with bacon, Aura over hear a group of girls from the table behind her.
"Yeah, did you see that pocket watch? It was like out of this world girl."
"Oh, are you talking about the one with the snake on it?"
Aura body froze as she heard the rest of the conversation.
When the witches stood up and was about to leave, Aura notice that they were triplets.
"Um excuse me, I don't want to sound rude or anything but I over heard your conversation about a pocket watch with a snake on it, do you know where I can find it?"
"Who do you think we are? Your messen…"
"I will give you each 10 Galleons."
The three witches looked at each other before they sat back down.
"Okay, the first think you do is…"
"Once you leave this restaurant, take a left and…"
"Go down till you see a wooden plank…"
"That has the Chinese Zodiac animals all on it…"
"Then you go inside and go striate to the register…"
"And say, 'May I see the Silvery Selection?'"
"And then he or she would they say, 'Is it silver or green?'…"
"And then you reply, 'It is very cunning indeed.'…"
"And that's when it show it to you…"
Aura was silent for a while before she spoke again, "Is that all?"
All three triplets nodded their heads.
Aura nodded as she pulled out her wand and waved it in front of them, then a low 'POP' was heard and three silk bags appeared in front of the three witches.
"I gave you 5 extra Galleons each because you weren't here…" Aura said as she started to finish her meal as the three witches nodded their heads in understanding and left the restaurant.
Severus walked in his home too see his mother writing another letter to somebody.
Shrugging off his heavy coat and hanged it on the rack, he walked over to the fireplace.
Leaning over, a small crack appeared right next to him, in it's place, a trembling house-elf.
"Can Irin get the young master anything?"
"Peppermint tea…"
With another soft crack, the house-elf was gone in a flash and in no time, it reappeared with tea and finger foods were on the tray.
Aura followed the triplets directions and went striate to the cash register.
It was man, Aura quickly noted, polishing one of the bracelets before putting it back in the case. Aura went striate up to him, "May I see the Silvery Selection?" She asking a low tone, low enough for him to hear.
The man stopped what he was doing and locked eyes with Aura, "Is it silver or green?" he replied in a same tone.
"It is very cunning indeed…" Aura said as she pulled out a handful of Galleons and started to play with them.
The man attitude changed as he saw the amount of Galleons in her hands and he gave her a body jester to follow him.
Aura was nodded as she followed but kept her hand on the handle of the wand just incase if the man does something.
Then the man turned around, in his hands was a long, medium size, rectangular box.
When he opened it, Aura breath got caught in her throat.
"It's beautiful…" Aura said as reached out for it.
The man smiled as he gently handed it to her.
"I'm selling it for 79 Galleons, 6 Sickles, and 40 Knuts."
Aura looked up and told the man, "I will give you 85 if you engrave a name in the locket and have it ready by tomorrow."
The man nodded vigorously as Aura handed the pocket watch pack to him. Pulled out a piece of parchment, wrote Severus full name. And handed the man a silk back that held exactly 85 Galleons.
"I'll come back again tomorrow the same time to pick up my watch."
The man nodded again as he began to work.
