Fandom: Harry Potter
Relationship: Familial (Cousins) – James Sirius Potter and Roxanne Weasley
Warnings: alternate universe; and original character (Marvin Jones)
Prompt: (Character) Roxanne Weasley

Summary: It's just another day at Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes.

To Love a Lion
020. Discounts

Crossing her arms, Roxanne Weasley fought the urge to tap her foot or roll her eyes. Her parents had worked hard to teach her and Fred good customer service skills. It was important for Roxanne and Fred to be seen behaving well because they were the future of Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes. It was their father and Uncle Fred's beloved legacy, and it would all be theirs one day.

"Which should we get?" James Sirius Potter asked his best friend.

"The Snack Boxes?" Marvin Jones said with a shrug.

James sighed. "We need something for pranks!" he explained. "I'm thinking the Big Box of Fireworks or the Portable Swamp."

"The fireworks?" Marvin said.

"James," Roxanne said, "hurry up and chose!"

"How about a discount?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

Roxanne gagged at the sight. Screw good customer services. She did not want to deal with this. "How about no!" she said, placing her hands on her hips as she glared at her cousin.

"C'mon, I'm family," whined James, pouting.

"There is no family discount," Roxanne crossed her arms.

"But Fred gives me one!" James said.

Roxanne raised an eyebrow. "Oh, yeah, how much?"

"Twenty-five percent," James grinned.

Roxanne smiled. "Thank you, I'll be sure to tell dad," she said, "and there's still no discount."

James opened and closed his mouth a few times.

"I've decided!" Marvin declared. "Let's get the fireworks."

Roxanne quickly handed Marvin the Big Box of Firework as she took the money. She handed over the change. "Don't come back too soon!" she said, walking away from the counter.

Someone else could deal with the customers. She didn't get paid enough to put up with her younger cousin flirting with her. She shuddered at the thought. James was nowhere near the lady's wizard as he thought he was.
