Autograph
Charlie sat next to a display of the book he had written. He had only wanted to make people more aware of dragons, he hadn't expected the publicity that also followed the book.
The same publicity that led to him setting up in Padma Patil's bookshop in Diagon Alley to sign autographs.
He sat patiently for hours, signing his name in copies of the books over and over again, his eyes falling on the clock.
Finally there was an hour left. Half an hour. Ten minutes.
The shop was clear, and he sighed happily as he began to stock up the spare books for Padma, who grabbed a pile and began to put them on one of the shelves. Hopefully people would be more considerate and caring towards Dragons now that Charlie's book had up-to-date information.
"Can I trouble you for an autograph?" A voice asked behind him. He turned around, his smile widening as he recognised his little brother's best friend.
"It'd be an honour to sign this for you," he replied, taking his seat again and picking up his quill. "Do you like Dragons?"
Hermione nodded. "I'm eager to read this, information on Dragon's is so outdated at the moment, it'll be nice to read something with new information."
"And perhaps once you've finished, we can discuss the book over dinner?" Charlie asked, his quill moving slowly across the inside of the cover.
"That sounds like a good idea, I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions," Hermione replied. She took the book and thanked him before heading to the counter to pay.
Review Please :)
