Chapter 5

The bells chimed as the door to Hermione's book shop opened. Hermione looked up in a daze and saw a twenty-something man walk in with a little girl. Vaguely thinking of how she had seen that man in the store three times this week she went back to doing her work behind the counter. Another ring caught her attention but when she went to look at the door her view was blocked by little girl waving her hand.

"Excuse me" the little girl said in a low voice, "I nee-"the girls' words were stopped by a stutter. She took a deep breathe and tried again. "I nee-…." For a second Hermione thought she was going to just give up but the girl was persistent. When she tried for the third time she seemed to force them out so fast that Hermione had to take a second to replay them.

"Ineedhelptofindabook"

Hermione took pity and the girl and came out from behind the counter. She was nervous to ask her any more questions in case she stuttered but walked over to the girl.

"What type of book to do need?"

The girl, according to Hermione, gave a desperate look over to her father for help but he just shook his head. With one last look at her father the girl looked her Hermione in the eyes and said slowly.

"I want" the girl stopped for a second to take a breathe "a book about fairies." The looked please with herself and looked towards her father, who smiled.

"Well, since you asked so nicely I'll show you myself" she walked the girl over to the shelf. The girl took off looking at all the books and left Hermione standing in the aisle. As he walked back to the counter the man stopped her.

"I just wanted to thank you for having patients with her." He put his hand out to be shaken.

"Just doing my job, she has real determination. You must be very proud"

"I am, she's doing wonderfully. In fact she never asks for help in stores she always gets me to do it or just waits. You're the first person she went up to willingly."

"That's a great compliment thank you. Do you need help with anything?

"Well, now that you ask" he said pulling out a piece of paper, "I need to find this book." He wrote something down on the paper and handed to Hermione.

Hermione looked down on the paper and laughed.
"If I can see this correctly, which I assume I can, this isn't a book. It's a telephone number"

"Really?? Well anyway now that you have it. Will you like to come to dinner with me one night?"

Hermione looked at him then his daughter. "But… isn't she your…."

"Daughter?" the man filled in her question. "No, she's my niece."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I just assumed…."Hermione feel into a silence

"Please don't be, happens all the time. And Melanie" he said pointing to his niece, "Does make people assume that. Now that we have the figured out, I would love to take you out to dinner."

"I'm not really sure I'm ready for that. I mean I just got over something"

"Well, may I ask how long ago?"

"About a month" Hermione said looking at him strangely.

"Well then I say that's a month to long with a date for such a pretty like you"

Hermione looked around for a quick way to escape and saw none. The man saw her hesitance. "You could just give that number a call when you feel ready. Ask for Scott"

He called over his niece and she came running over with a book. He handed to Hermione and paid, keeping his hand in contact a few seconds longer then necessary when Hermione gave him back his change.

As she watched him leave the shop Hermione had to rest on her head on the counter.

"What do I do?" she asked herself. Half expecting an answer she looked up and out the window just in time to see a certain red head walk past her shop widow quickly turning his head.
