The Auction
The sale was due to start in five minutes at nine pm, and the young couple were running extremely late.
It had taken Astoria the better part of an hour to convince Draco to bring her to the auction, and he had taken the Mickey by taking an extra long shower.
As they walked into the auction house, Astoria glared daggers at her husband. All the best seats had been taken, and they were reduced to sitting at the back of the large room.
The young witch had been determined to arrive at least half an hour to an hour early so that she could peruse the many other items on offer, as well as get seats near the front.
No sooner than they had taken the seat, the auctioneer made his way up onto the podium, and began the auction.
"Next up is the eighteenth century Goblin-made tiara, donated by the Abercrombie estate," the auctioneer announced. "So shall we start the bidding at 500 galleons."
Astoria grasped Draco's arm.
"I need this." Astoria demanded, determined to make her husband pay for almost costing her the chance of acquiring the finely crafted Goblin-made tiara. "You absolutely must get it for me."
She fluttered her eyelashes and Draco and gave him a coy smile. "Please," she pouted.
The wizard sighed, and simply nodded his head. Astoria knew that he would give her anything she asked for no matter what the cost.
"Thank you," she squealed as she raised her paddle to make her first bid.
