Disclaimer: I do not own Queen JK's characters, only the plot of this story and Laurie.
THIS IS NOT A PART OF THE MAIN STORY, THIS IS AN EXTRA CHAPTER. THE TIMELINE IS SET BEFORE THE FIRST CHAPTER, SOMEWHERE DURING THOSE 3 YEARS.
"Thank You very much. I promise, I will not disappoint you."
"Good, I will see you on Monday. Don't be late, we've got a lot of work to do. Though it's nice to find a part-timer who is magical, makes both of our jobs much easier. You won't believe how fucking hard it is to come across a witch or a wizard interested in working as a waiter at a café in muggle London." Mr. Malfoy brushed the sweat off of his brow with the back of his flour covered wrist. He was very handsome, but for some reason he did nothing for me. Janet and Emily would probably give their left arm to be with him.
"I understand what you mean. I'm in a muggle college and besides me, there are about four magical students in this college. Four in over fifteen hundred students. And one of our professor is a witch, so we cannot even cheat in our tests. It's horrible."
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find a way. You are pretty smart."
"Thanks Mr. Malfoy."
"Laurie, you're older than me by two months. Do not call me Mr. Malfoy." What? He's younger than me? Certainly doesn't seem like it. I thought he was older than me by at least a few years. Janet will definitely be interested now, although I'm not so sure about Emily. She always preferred older men, something about how they are golden and how whisky tastes better the more it ages.
"Alright, Draco. I'll see you on Monday then. I'll be here by four in the evening."
"One mocha latte to go." I took the money from the customer, a young police officer in his twenties, probably taking a quick break from his patrol for a shot of caffeine. I took the money from his hands and returned the appropriate change, all while dismissing his attempts at catching my attention. Even though he was pretty good looking, I just simply wasn't interested in him.
"Please stand aside while we get your order ready." I flashed him my biggest smile that still said I wasn't interested in him and directed him to the delivery area. I've been here for just over two days and already three guys have tried to ask me out. And one of them was still in high school.
I quickly took the mocha latte from Draco, handed it over to the officer, and then returned to my post by the cash register. I brought one my books over to work because my professors wouldn't let us catch a break even for a day. One of my professors suddenly decided a week of tests were in order just because he felt like it.
The jingle from door broke me out of my trance. I put on what my friends and I call the interview smile and turn to the door. Instantly my smile faltered and I stopped breathing momentarily as I laid my eyes on the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. I didn't move from my spot as she approached the cash register.
"Draco darling, give me a large of my usual. I'm going to be here for a while."
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be working on your book?"
"I am doing that, Draco. A lot of good stories are based on personal experiences."
"You probably have had enough personal experiences to fill over a hundred books."
"Just get me a cup of my usual."
"Yeah, yeah, it's not like I can do much to stop you, can I?" Draco went back to make her cup.
The woman turned her attention to me. It gave me a chance to properly notice her features, the last time I had the chance, I was too busy being awestruck. Although I'm not much better off this time.
She was extremely gorgeous for her age, which I think would probably be in the late thirties or early forties. She was wearing a black dress-shirt and a pair dark blue jeans. As I finished checking her out… Was I really checking her out? I'm not a lesbian. I shouldn't be checking her out, right?
Anyways, as I finished check-… taking in her appearance, my eyes met hers and I noticed her smirk. Oh fuck, she caught me checking her out.
"So darling, you must be Laurie, the new part-timer. I must say, you look very pretty dear." I've heard many older women like my mother's friends compliment my appearance before, but why am I blushing so much right now? Was it her voice? I'm sure it's her voice. I liked her sultry voice.
Suddenly, I remembered that I operate the cash register. I mustered all of my strength and broke out of her trance. "Umm… Ma'am… C-could you repeat your order… and pay the necessary amount?"
The woman stopped whatever she was doing and her lips tightened. Did I do something wrong?
"Draco… Did you not tell Laurie about me?"
I heard Draco whisper a swear. "I forgot…"
"Draco, how could you do this? How could you not tell her about me? About us?" Wait… wait, wait wait… was Draco and this woman… Oh fuck, was I just having inappropriate thoughts about my boss's wi-… girlfr-… partner?
"Don't make it sound so scandalous. Laurie, this is my mother, Narcissa. She's a pretty popular author who writes lesbian sex novels. You'll see her around the café nearly every day, so you'd better get used to her."
Draco's mother… Draco's MOTHER? That sex goddess is Draco's MOTHER? My brain promptly shut down.
Narcissa gave me another stomach-flipping, heart-piercing, panty-wetting smile and then took her coffee from Draco and sauntered over to her seat. For the remainder of her stay, her eyes repeatedly, for some reason I cannot explain, met mine at least a dozen more times. Every time she made sure to smile at me just the way she did before. By the time she left, my panties were definitely going to be soaking wet.
Sometime before Narcissa left, the police officer came back to order a cupcake. Just before he left, he leaned over. "Now I understand why you weren't even a little interested when I was hitting on you. It'd be helpful if you could hold a sign or something that tells us if you were batting for the other team. Us guys don't have to embarrass ourselves by hitting on a dyke and getting rejected in front of our mates." I would've called him a douche and kicked him out but I was frozen by his words. Was I really a lesbian? I stole a glance at Narcissa, then at the police officer and then at Draco. I had my answer.
"So, Laurie, you've been acting very strange for the past week, ever since you joined that café." Janet took another sip from the bottle of coke. She told she had always had that addiction, since she was pretty young. Her father used to drink it a lot as well, and she just followed in his footsteps.
"Yeah, it's almost as if you're glowing." Emily piped up from the kitchen. She walked back with a packet of chips and some sauce.
"Wait… Is our little Laurie in love?" Janet dragged out the love long enough to circle the block twice.
"NO… maybe…" I knew my perfect pale complexion would come back to kick me in the arse one day. No point in hiding it when my face is glowing like a red light.
"What?"
"What?"
"Did you just say what I actually think you said? Did she really just say that?"
"I think she did. Even I heard that too."
"Laurie, you'd better not be pranking us like you usually do. This is the first time we've ever heard you say that you're actually interested in someone. DO NOT RUIN THIS FOR US!"
"Girls I'm the one who's interested in someone. Why-"
"Quiet! Janet's right, do not ruin this for us. I'd better get a calendar and mark this day down in history. The first day we can actually give advice to Laurie about boys and sex and love and everything in between."
"Actually…"
"She said quiet didn't she. Just pipe down while we go get the books. And then we can teach you every single thing we know so that you will feel right at home when you actually do it with him."
"We can even throw in a hands on experience with a strap-on. That way you can get used to the feeling."
I watched as the two of them spent the next fifteen minutes making preparations to teach me all that they think I need to know, especially about sex. Ironically, that is the one thing they do not need to teach me about. I tried to stop them before the prankster side of me kicked in, I genuinely did. But every single time they told me to sit tight and shut up. I'll tell them eventually, right now it's time to enjoy the show.
"Ready Janet?"
"I'm ready Emily. Let's hit the big one first." She picked up the book with SEX written on the cover in huge bold block letters, and it was by far the largest book of them all.
"What's all of this about?" I quickly glanced at the other books, with words like LOVE, BREAKUP, and FRIENDS written on the cover in similar fashion.
"Not important. Just listen."
They spent the next hour and a half talking about sex. Where did they get so much information, I have no idea? I just sat there waiting to pick the right moment to tell them. I almost felt bad for doing this to them. Almost.
"So my dear innocent little virgin Laurie, do you have any questions?"
"Yeah… How do I have sex with a girl?"
"… I'm sorry what did you say?"
"You guys spent an hour and a half telling me how to have sex with a guy. But the person I'm interested in is a woman. So how do I have sex with her?"
The two of them sat there for a moment staring at each other, all while I revelled in their astonishing faces. Serves them right for giving me an extremely graphic (pictures included) in-depth lecture about the anatomy of a body part that I'll probably never have to look at in my lifetime.
"She's pranking us, isn't she?"
"She is… Is she?"
"I'm not."
"She's not…"
"No she's not…"
"Why didn't she tell us sooner?"
"I tried to, but you told me to shut up."
"Oh right, we told her to shut up."
"Why did we tell her to shut up?"
"Because we're idiots."
"Yeah, we're idiots."
"Yeah, you two are idiots." But still love them. Not in that way. "And about this crush of mine. She's an author who writes lesbian erotica. She's extremely sexy, you'll understand once you see her. And what else… Oh yeah, she's Draco's, my boss's mother. So… I now understand what you mean about older people being better, Emily. She's so much more mature than all of these idiots of our age."
"… Yay, I guess…" Emily piped up meekly. Janet just glared at her, and then at me.
"She was right, you know. That woman is extremely sexy, even though I'm totally straight and definitely interested in Laurie's boss, Draco. He might not be as old as I want him to be, but he's got this mature aura about him."
"Emily shut it. If Laurie gets it together with that woman, you'd be dating one of your best friend's girlfriend's son."
I could just barely hear those two even though they were sitting so close to the cash register.
"Right…" Emily seemed to shudder in her seat. Why was she so creeped out? She's the one that usually gets it on with the oldies, and not even the good looking ones like Narcissa.
"Well, what do you guys think of her?"
"She's beau-" Emily started but Janet cut her off.
"If it doesn't work out between the two of you, give me her number." Wow, that was unexpected.
I did not have enough answers to the poll so I decided to throw in this chapter that I wrote sometime during that long hiatus I took after chapter 9.
The next chapter of the main story will be up sometime this week.
THE POLL IS STILL ONGOING, PLEASE VOTE FOR WHOSE POV I SHOULD DO NEXT AND I'LL DO THE NEXT CHAPTER ON THAT POV.
Once again, read and review, especially if there are any flames. All are taken in the interest of constructive criticism.
