Chapter II

Job Hunting and Friends...?

Lia had outdone herself, the apartment showed the finishing touches she had made in the last couple of days and gave of the cozy feeling the Burrow had given her in her youth.

Teddy was in his room playing.

His favorite toys were the stuffed black Dog, the wolf and her Stag.

She had gotten it, when Draco had visited two days ago. The young woman smiled while looking at the stuffed Stag in her sons hand and in turn at the child because Teddy's eyes were alight with joy.

Lia had given Draco a bone crushing hug for it, and let me tell you her hug could rival those Molly used to give her and others while they were visiting.

Thinking off Molly dimmed her smile a little.

The older woman, who was to her like the Mother she hadn't been fortunate enough to get to know, had suffered as well in the second wizarding war.

She had lost two children in it. Ron hadn't made it out alive and Percy had died in a ministry raid in the early stages of the war, or did it happen later on? She didn't know anymore.

Her memory of it was a little fuzzy she had to admit.

After a look she decided it was time for her to start preparing the lunch and after that she should probably start job hunting.

It wasn't necessary and Drake often told her just that, but she wanted to work and life her own life, as well as offer Teddy a childhood. She knew that both Teddy and she were well taken care, off and that it wasn't necessary but her Masters degree in Mechanic, History and her little but effective Hobby Blacksmithing demanded that she looked for a job. Even if it was just to keep her occupied and busy on some days.

It wasn't the usual combination of subjects for most, but for her it was perfect.

She loved to tinker with mechanics as well as crafting something with her hands and History was the part where she loved to search for lost Artifacts, for the History behind the crafting of the little but in her opinion important things.

It was rare that she crafted something a kin to a weapon and if she would craft one, it was a piece of art.

But most of the time only people who knew her well enough and fully trusted, were in possession of one of her creations.

So it was just another point in her defense that she wasn't as helpless as some people tend to believe even nowadays.

She wasn't a damsel in distress.

The Goblins had taught her swordplay and Drake and Blaise had tutored her only further along the line, after she had expressed her desire to learn.

She wanted to be able to wield what she created after all.

Lia was proud that she had her own little workshop in the basement and that it was well warded. It was safe to say that a Muggle wouldn't stumble over it by mistake and Teddy wouldn't be able to wander in.

As for her plans to start the cooking process it came along with only a little bit of wand less magic.

The vegetables were cooking and the noodles were waiting to be mixed with the sauce and vegetables.

She was waiting for Hermione to come over because her friend had offered to look after Teddy for a while, when she would be out to look for a job.

Lia didn't need to wait long, because the flames became an eerie green and Hermione came, trough the floo.

The once bushy haired girl, now woman was in her arms in mere seconds and both held each other in a tight embrace.

"You look good Mione. I take it you want to see my four year old wayward son and your Nephew?" she asked her oldest friend.

Hermione hadn't time to answer because after Aurelia had taken a step back, Teddy was in her stead and had his arms around his favorite Aunt.

The little one was squeezing Hermione hard and had his head burrowed in her mid section.

"Shh I know, I missed you too Sweetie. Were you good for you Mom?"She asked after running soothing fingers through his hair and feeling the child nod.

"I believe we should head over to the kitchen, because Lunch is ready and we don't want to miss out on your Moms cooking now would we?" she coaxed, and Teddy shook his head almost furiously at the thought of missing something out, his Mom had cooked for them.

Lia smiled softly and eyed the shrunken presents Hermione had well hidden behind her Back so that her Son wouldn't be able to see them just jet.

But both friends knew all too well, that the young one was smart and would properly figure it out sooner or later.

But for now, they would sit down and eat. Occasional she needed to remind her son to slow down, so he won't choke on his lunch.

Those were occasions when Hermione would cover smile and snicker a little under her breath.

Lunch was a relatively quiet affair and after cleaning the dishes and Teddy being occupied with his presents which turned out to be a book and some toys, Lia was ready to leave.

She had opted to wear a long emerald green cardigan, leggings in black and ankle boots.

Her eyes were framed by an elegant wire frame and the glasses didn't hide her sparkling emerald eyes.

Her hair was braided in and put together at her neck in a messy little bun, but only a few stray locks were escaping and framing her face.

The necklace she wore was an imitation of a snitch and her own creation.

After checking that she had all she needed in front of the mirror, she decided it was time.

She hugged the little one and left with the knowledge that Hermione would probably start reading to the child so he would get his sleep and she herself would start doing her own reading afterwards, or start preparing the afternoon tea.

Lia didn't use a House elf and wouldn't start using one in the near future, as far as she was concerned at least. Part of the reason was, she missed Dobby and Kreacher and the others were it would upset Hermione and it never failed to amuse her, to listen to Draco's complains about the missing of one.

Those were the times, when Blaise would role his eyes at Dracos behavior and she would snicker while catching him doing it.

She was deep in thought and that was what found her cursing under her breath as she just managed to jump out of harm's way.

Her breathing was a little hard and fast, her cheeks flushed and her glare leveled at the people standing before her and offering their assists in helping her up.

"Ughh, who thought it a brilliant Idea to gift you, both with, a driver license?" was her angry question...

That she was also at fault even a little didn't cross her mind once, while she stared both man down...

While one was concerned for the petite young woman, the other seemed more occupied by give her a once over and checking her out, all the while under the disguise to make sure she was not hurt.

She huffed irritated that both seemed to fail reacting to her, which caused one to chuckle slightly under his breath and the other one to smile sheepishly and rub his neck because he was caught.

It took some time for her to get her act together and when she got it she registered the people around her and blushed, a little.

"Ahhh, whatever." she pressed out, after standing up and brushing of her clothing.

She looked around and found her bag presented to her by one of the men.

"Thanks." and with that she wanted nothing more than bolt right out of this situation.

"Look, everything is fine and I'm in a hurry so if it would be possible I'd like to go now" she started, but was cut off by the one which was a little taller than the other.

"Sorry but I believe we haven't been introduced yet and it would be better to have you checked in the hospital Miss?" he asked, which had Lia huffing again.

And while she huffed, the man she had now identified as Tony Stark was telling the people around them to get lost, because there wasn't something to see anymore.

"Potter." she answered curtly which had James Rhodes laughing softly.

"James Rhodes, pleasure to meet you and from what it seems you have recognized Tony Stark, even if I have to admit, your reaction to him is most refreshing." he told her and shook her hand, while trying to get her to agree to visit the hospital at least for a check.

She sighed.

"I don't fancy hospitals much and I assure you, everything is alright, just a little dust on my clothes and that's nothing washing them wouldn't fix." she argued and tried to defend her cause.

Tony which wasn't usually one to tell reporters or people off, had just done exactly that and was now on his way over.

The cars were standing at the side of the road, so that they wouldn't cause more trouble and that had to mean something when you considered being Tony Stark being himself.

He was intrigued; most of the women he met were almost always over him like harpies and this one just doesn't seem to fit the norm...or not his definition of a typical behavior for someone who had just met him.

I mean what, could he say; he was amazing like that and had just everything to back it up.

"Look," she said and eyed Tony a little while he was on his way over.

"I know who he is so what? He might be Tony Stark, playboy, philanthropist and billionaire" she told both obediently and after a pause continued"and I don't care. I would appreciate it, if I could leave now. I promise I see the Doc, but now

I have an appointment and because of your driving skills and my fault for being in deep thoughts, I'm already running late." she explained, and admitted that she was a little at fault for the current situation as well.

She didn't consider Tony's indignant splutter that she didn't care who he was important and had her eyes on James Rhodes again, as she tried to make him see her point, which he seemed to get after several minutes.

"Okay, go see this Doctor. Tell him I told you to go and see him. and he will check you through and we will know that everything is really as you make it out to be." he told her and fixed her with a stern expression.

She nodded once, conceding to his point...and was on her way after glancing at her watch.

Both man looked after her retreating form and at each other afterwards.

"She has fire." Rhodey told his friend which seemed lost in his thoughts and shook his head with a fond smile.

Tony for his part was thinking about several things, including finding out more about the petite woman that was so different from others and yet seemed more aloof as well...

It didn't take long for both of them to start their little race again to the place Tony was staying at the moment, the place where Happy would be waiting and Pepper would no doubt be scolding Tony for the riot they had caused while almost running over the interesting Person Miss Potter seemed to be.

Rhodey could practically see the wheels turning in Tony's head and hear them clicking a little, while trying to contain his need to figure the mystery the woman seemed to be.

Rhodey found himself a little lost, because of the enigma the younger woman seemed to be, even if he only knew her Surname and nothing else.

He wanted to make sure, she was okay and it didn't hurt that she wasn't all over Tony as well...at least as far as he was concerned.

Aurelia didn't have a clue that things were about to change, and that all it took was a chance meeting and an almost accident for it to happen.

She was running now, because time was against her and her case needed to be a hit.

She knew that many people wanted to work at the University and that it was a privilege in doing so.

Aurelia arrived with only minutes to spare and was slightly out of breath.

The deans secretary looked her over with an annoyance clearly visible on her face, but Lia ignored her and waited for the dean to be ready to see her.

It didn't take long and after asking why she looked the way she did, and her explaining that she was caught in a little accident but was perfectly fine and that nobody was hurt, she was presented with the Job.

She started breathing again, not even aware, that she had stopped it in the first place and lit up, after hearing the good news.

Her smile illuminated her and pointed out why most of the male population she had met thought her to be a beauty to behold.

Aurelia was shown around the campus with all it's the facilities, her office and were she would teach.

She would start teaching in about two weeks and after the registration process was complete which took the better part of the afternoon, she left with her new keys, her ID and the notes from the last Professor which had taught her subject.

While packing the notes away she caught sight of the small card which had the Contact information's from the Doctor she was meant to visit.

She sighed and ruffled through her bag to look for her mobile.

After not being able to find it, she made her way home...not aware, that her mobile was in the hands of...


So this is it, the second chapter.

I hope you guys appreciate the cliffy and can forgive me for it... originally the Chapter was much shorter and I practically wrote further after the first cliffhanger and end it with a new one?

So the questions are: In which city does she live? Who has her mobile? What happens, if the Doctor she is requested to meet?

I look forward to your reviews, and if you find something like a spelling or grammar error, please bear with it and let me know and I'll try to fix it as fast as possible, because I don't have a beta reader.

Cheers,

Lunary
