We ended up having dinner too and it was getting late now.

"Look, I better go. Gotta be at work tomorrow." I said when the clock struck 11.

"See ya, then, mate. Good luck." Harry said, getting up to give me a 'bro hug', then I turned to Ginny giving her a hug and shaking Aberforth's hand.

I then grabbed my coat and headed towards the door giving a small wave before exiting the building and apparating a few blocks away from my flat. I walked the rest of the way and was in bed by 11:20.

My alarm awoke me at 8, giving me 2 hours to get ready before walking to the bookshop for 10:30. I got out of bed and flicked the kettle on, I couldn't function without at least 1 coffee in the morning, I grabbed a mug and the jar of instant coffee. Having made my coffee, I poured some cocoa pops into a bowl with some milk and went to sit on the sofa. Turning on the news, I began to eat my breakfast. After eating, I jumped in the shower, I was in the shower for about 20 minutes. Now came the problem. What should I wear? Tom hadn't told me there was any clothing restrictions so surely as long as I wasn't naked anything would go, right? I began looking through my wardrobe and picked out a dark purple shirt and black single buttoned blazer. Then some black trousers. I put these on and then put my Friday socks on. Looking at the clock, I saw I still had another half an hour, so I put the kettle on and made myself another coffee. At 10 to 10, I put on my shoes and packed my keys phone charger and laptop into my laptop bag. I, then, put my Belstaff on before heading out the door.

It wasn't that long a walk to the shop, I could do it in fifteen minutes if I wanted, but today I went slowly, revelling in the winter sun and marvelling at Christmas displays.

"Morning, Tom" I said as I walked in to the shop.

"Good morning, Draco. Right on time I see." He said in return.

"Yeah, so what am I doing today?" I asked.

"Well I was going to put you on the front desk here, and I'll be working the accounts in the peace and quiet." Tom answered.

"Great," I said, walking around the other side of the desk, taking off my coat and hanging on the chair.

"Have you got a laptop with you today?"

"Yup, why?"

"If a customer wants a book that they cannot find I can E-mail you a list of what we have and if we don't have it you can tell me what it is without having to leave the shop unattended." Tom explained, "Now then, the ropes, it's quite simple, there are coloured stickers on the book which indicate a price, the list is here," He said pointing to a piece of paper, "The offers are on there too, then you simply take their money and give them the correct amount of change from the till, presuming you can count."

"Yeah, I can count," I reply with a small smile on my face.

"My E-mail account is written down on the same bit of paper as everything as else, I'll pop off upstairs to my office. Open up when you are ready, but before 11 of course." Tom said before going out a door at the back and up some stairs.

I got my laptop out and set it up to the wifi finding the password ,also, on the sheet. Undoing my blazer's button, I then went and turned over the sign to open. Within a few minutes my first customer arrived. A mother with a small toddler.

"Good morning" I say, brightly and she smiles in return.

She came up to the desk and asked, "Where is the child section?"

"Just over there, by the stairs," I say, thankful for the fact I looked around earlier.

After 10 or so minutes, she came back over with the 'Big Cook Little Cook Annual' (whatever that was).

"How can I help?" I say.

"I'd like to get this book please" She said, handing me the book, I found a red sticker on it telling me it was £3.50.

"That'll be £3.50, please," I said, and she handed over the money. "Is that all?"

"Oh yeah there is something else. Do you have 'Puff The Magic Dragon' in stock, only I couldn't find it."

"I'll just E-mail my manager." I said, typing in his e-mail address and requesting the list. A minute later Tom sent me the list and I searched for the book in question, "Um, no. It seems we don't have the book. I can order it for you and can notify you when we have it."

"Can we do that then please. He wont stop going on about it." She said gesturing to the toddler in her arms.

"Name?"

"Ellie Briant"

"Contact detail, only one?"

"Phone number: 07997789249"

"Thank you. I'll give you a ring when we have his book," I say smiling at the small boy.

"Fank yooo" The small boy said and I gave him a high five.

"Have a nice day." I say before typing the E-mail to Tom requesting the little boy's book.

Two hours went by and the shop remained not too busy, I had eaten lunch while manning the till during a quiet spell and there was currently two customers upstairs using the laptops.

"Draco!" Harry said, walking through the door at about 2 in the afternoon, "How's it going mate?"
