Chapter Fourteen
Hermione and Sirius walked hand in hand up the drive of the open home. Something seemed off to Hermione. At the front door was a realtor with no shoes on, there was no sign on the front lawn to say there was an open home. "Sirius, where are all the people? I thought this place would be filled to the brim with people wanting to buy it," she said curiously, approaching the realtor with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Jenny. Please remove your shoes and feel free to have a look around." She said with a smile, her hand leading them through the open doorway.
They both entered the large foyer. A modest stairway leading upstairs was to their right. The landing above was longer than she expected, traveling the width of the foyer above. The doorway to the lounge was to the left and the kitchen door was underneath the landing.
They walked into the lounge, taking in the soft pastel yellow walls. There was no furniture. The end of the kitchen was open plan linking the two areas together. Off the other side of the kitchen is the dining room and the laundry.
The laundry had two doors at each end. One leading outside to the clothesline in the backyard where a medium size pool filled half of it. the other doorway off the laundry led to a hallway. In the hallway door leading to a small guest bathroom and another door to the double garage.
This house was bigger than Hermione's modest two bedroom home that she grew up in.
The real estate agent let them wander around upstairs alone. Four large bedrooms and a large bathroom. The master bedroom has an en-suite.
"Sirius, we can't afford this house. I don't remember it being so large." Sirius chuckled. "Hermione, this house is perfect for our growing family," he said to her.
"Besides," he added "I already made an offer which the company has accepted. All we need to do is sign the papers and get the keys. We can move in next week if we want to, so long as you like the place of course." he said smiling.
Hermione was gobsmacked. "Sirius" she squealed with happiness. "So is that a yes?" He laughed. She gave him a huge hug. "Yes, it's a yes! I love this house" Hermione yelled at him.
The two of them walked down the stairs happily to greet Jenny at the bottom. "We will take it," he said to her happily.
"Great! The paperwork is on the bench ready for you to sign Mr. Black" She said happily in reply.
"We will await the funds being transferred to our account. Once they have been received you may come in and collect the keys in our office." Jenny added as they signed the paperwork.
"The funds will be transferred overnight" Sirius responded respectfully.
"Thank you, Mr. Black, I will keep my eye out for it," she said before collecting the paperwork, leaving them with a hard copy.
Hermione and Sirius left, waving at the realtor as they walked around the corner. Once out of sight, they used a portkey, returning to Hogwarts.
