On my way back to my flat I started thinking that I should really let Oliver know I got a job. When I got home I immediately flooed over to Oliver's flat.
"Hey big brother." I smirked then saw red when I saw him sitting at his dining room table with a very beautiful, very married blonde woman that I immediately recognized. "Hello, Fleur. So you must be Ollie's new bird." There was malice in my voice. I shot my brother a look at digust.
"Marni, what are you doing here?" Oliver retorted, still in shock that he had been caught. I knew there was a reason he was keeping his new interest a secret from me. That girl is married to one of my very good friends. Hell, one of Oliver's good friends.
"Maybe I should be going." Fleur spoke in her broken English. I just glared at her.
"Good thinkin, lass. I'll see you later." He gave her a kiss and I had to stop the vomit from coming up.
Once the woman was gone I turned to Oliver who was leaning against the closed door of his flat. "What the bloody hell are you thinking Oliver! She's married! Not only is she married but she is married to one of our closest friends! How can you be so ignorant. Explain yourself!"
"Look, Marni I am your big brother! I do not have to explain my actions to you." He huffed past me and into his bedroom slamming the door,
This just served to piss my off further, I slung the door open. "The hell! I think I deserve some kind of back story here. Or else would you like me to floo over to the Weasley's and share what I just walked in on?"
His eyes widened, "Fine, but calm yourself first." He paused and patted the spot on the bed next to him. I walked over and sat down beside him. No matter how mad I was at him he was still my brother. "Bill knows about Fleur and I. He's perfectly fine with it."
I choked, "Huh?"
"Look, neither of them are happy. They love each other and thought that they were in love but they have both realized that they are more like best friends. However because of the bond of their marriage they can't separate unless both are caught having affairs."
I let these words sink in before finally asking how this all started. He explained that she had come to one of the games and they ran into each other afterwards and she had just had a fight with Bill and they went for coffee. Apparently Bill had someone he was interested in but had to wait before talking to her so for now the two of them remain together around the family and everyone, and Fleur and Oliver will see each other in private. He assured me that he was falling for Fleur and it wasn't just a fling to him, which he has never said before so that shows that he is actually serious. As much as I don't like it I will have to keep my mouth shut and act like I know absolutely nothing.
"Why did you come over again?"
I smiled, "Ollie! I completely forgot! I got a job! I start tomorrow! That means I can finally start paying you back for my flat!"
He hugged me, "That's great, Mar. But you're not paying me back."
"Yes, I am! Don't argue with me!" We both laughed,
"Where did you get a job?"
My smile faded, well I could be completely pissed at him right now but I'm not so maybe he won't be too angry with me. "Umm, I'm going to be an assistant at Malfoy Industries." I spoke clearly, hoping he would just leave it alone,
I watched him carefully as the words sank in, "What the hell, Marni! You're working for that arrogant piece of shit?" He yelled.
I nodded, "Yes, now before you get your knickers in a twist. He made me an amazing offer and I really think I will enjoy it. We have all settled our differences with him, why can't you?"
"Look, I will never like the guy. There is too much there. But I can't tell you what to do, even if I did you would just do it just to get on my nerves anyway. But if anything happens to you or he does something please tell me, I would love to give him a reason to be scared of me."
"I'm a big girl Ollie, but thank you." After another hug and a few more minutes of talking I went back home. As soon as I got home and sat on the couch I felt myself falling asleep. I'm not sure what made me so tired. I guess everything that has happened today.
The next morning I woke up and quickly got ready for the day. I was extremely excited but nervous as well.
After getting dressed and approving of how I looked for the day I flooed to the address that Draco had given me yesterday. As soon as I stepped from the floo I was greeted by Draco.
"Good morning. Good to see you showed up."
I smiled, "You doubted me?"
He shook his head, "Not at all. Anyways, you came just in time. I just sent Lyla home in tears. I had told her last week that today would be her last day but yet she showed up this morning. I'm pretty sure she was trying to seduce me."
He wore an arrogant smirk, "What makes you think that?" I questioned.
"Why wouldn't she?" I could tell he was joking but I knew that he knew that he was attractive and to be completely honest that has always been one of my biggest turn off. "Plus every assistant I have ever hired has tried to get in my pants."
"Well this one you won't have to worry about."
His eyes glowed a little, "Good to hear. Now how about a tour?" I nodded and we went around the building and he showed me everything and gave me the more detailed description of what I would actually be doing. I realized that I would have a lot of responsibility which I am really looking forward too. I caught on pretty quick and by the afternoon I was answering the owls and the floo calls like I had been there for ten years.
At 5:00pm it was time to go home for the day. Just as I was gathering everything up I heard Draco's office door open. "Marni, I was very impressed today. I think this will work out well for both of us."
"Thank you Draco. Well, I will see you tomorrow." With that I flashed him a smile before walking out of the door to walk down the street to meet Hermione and Luna. They have been owling me all day asking me how things are going.
The office is in downtown wizarding London so I didn't have far to walk to one of our favorite places to eat. I saw them immediately when I walked in. I greeted them both with a hug and patted Hermione's growing tummy.
"So how was your first day?"
"Great actually. He's surprising easy to work for. So far anyway." We carried on for a bit,
"Just don't fall for him."
I looked at Luna, "What are you talking about?"
"Draco. He's very charming and handsome. You'll be spending lots of time with him. Don't get hurt."
"Luna, I love you dearly but honestly don't know why you would even think that could possibly happen." I retorted firmly even though even I didn't believe myself.
