Lorelei dropping her smile, turned back around to face Remus. Her mind was already at work. "I think I have a suitable solution to our problem." Remus looked at her hopeful. "While I'm purchasing my necessities. I will also get a box for the ivory amulet."
"And what good will that do?" Remus cut it.
"Patience," Lorelei smiled, "I thought you were suppose to be the sensible one of the group."
"Sorry. Just anxious I guess."
"It's alright." she returned. "I will box up the amulet, and seal it with a charm. Then..." Lorelei continued. "I will give you the box. And you and your mates can bury it somewhere. You have have Sirius dig a whole or something." she smirked referring to the other boys dog form.
Remus let out a sigh of satisfaction. Her suggestion seemed to quelch his doubt. "I can't offer you anything in return for this." he began. "I wish I could."
"Remus," Lorelei continued, "I never asked for anything. Aside from maybe your friendship." 'Where the bloody hell did that come from? He's a distraction, this is a game.' Lorelei reminded herself.
"Thank you Lorelei." the boy replied, stepping closer, taking her hands in his. "For this opportunity. For caring, for whatever reason."
"I just know how it feels." Lorelei began, her teeth, nervously biting into her lip. There was a strange feeling creeping into her stomach. It unsettled her something fierce.
"Still..." Remus continued. "If there is ever someway...If there is ever anything I can do for you." He smiled, Lorelei found herself watching his expressions with great interest. "Don't hesitate to ask."
Lorelei nodded, the boy before her was so close, her heart beat erratically. 'Get a hold of yourself Lorelei.' she scolded. 'It must be the werewolf kinship, has my thoughts muddled.' "Well then, " she broke what had become an akward silence. "I'll be needing to get back to the villiage and pick up supplies." With that, she pulled her hands free of his, and turned back twords the villiage.
Once back among the shops, Lorelei made a hasty job of locating several items she would be in need of. One of the shops she entered was a bit off the beaten track, and seldom found a Hogwarts student crossing it's threshold. A stange old wizard stood behind a glass counter case, several small circular disks, made of almost every material imaginable lay beneath the glass counter top. Coming to stand before the shelves, Lorelei scanned them carefully. "Is this pure silver?" she asked indicating a shiny metal disk.
"That it is." the old wizard answered her.
"I'll take it." Lorelei replied, "and I'll need one the same size, in ivory." forcing the sound of utmost confidence into her voice.
"Ivory is not easy to come by Miss." the old man began. "What makes you think I'd have such an item?"
"It was just a hope." Lorelei replied, setting down some galleons in front of the man. His eyes went wide with greedy desire of the coins before him.
"Hmmm...Let me just check in the back for you."
"Very well." Lorelei replied, watching the man hobble through the curtain that most likely seperated the store from his dwelling, and obviously where he hid some of the more unusal items he sold. The wait seemed like an eternity. Lorelei wanted to get out of her, and be onto other business.
"I think this is what you desire Miss." the little old wizard replied, emerging once more from the curtain. He placed another disk on the counter by the silver one.
"You're word that it's ivory, real ivory."
"It is." the man countered. "No need to keep the fake stuff locked up in back." Lorelei nodded, accepting his answer. "Anything else I can do for you my dear?"
"I need..." Lorelei began looking around the shop. "A box, big enough to hold the medallions, but not any bigger."
"I have just what you need." The man produced a small wooden box, stained a dark red. "They should fit just nicely in here." With that the man, sat both the silver and the ivory disks into the box, closing the lid on it. Grinning at Lorelei he place the box in a small pouch and handed it to the girl. "This should be enough." he said, laying his hand over the pile of gold coins. "Have a good day Miss."
"And a good day to you as well." Lorelei replied, before turning and leaving the store behind.
