*OWL LETTER*

Post by Luna Lovegood on Aug 4, 2010 22:01:38 GMT
*Luna arrived in Hogsmeade a quarter of an hour early for her interview*
*Despite knowing she should feel nervous she felt very calm, and she adjusted her best navy blue robes before pushing open the door to the shop*
*She approached the counter and smiled at the gentleman standing behind it*
Mister Flume?

Right, Ambrosius Flume, that's me.
*Despite his barrel-shaped body he moved with surprising agility around the counter.*
Miss Lovegood, pleased to see you again, of course, I remembered you immediately when I received your letter!
*He took her hand and patted it with his large plump hands.*
You were one of the regulars when you were at Hogwarts. Weren't the Jelly Slugs your Favourite? Oh no, the Chocoballs, right? And the wife still hasn't recovered from the shock when she saw you using the Pepper Imps for earrings, hahaha!
*His large belly wobbled heavily from laughing.*
And now you have come to work with us?

*Luna smiled serenely at the familiar old man who had served sweet treats to her and her fellow students during her time at Hogwarts*
How are you, Mister Flume?
*Luna asked politely, as calm and unflustered as usual when he took her hand in his*
That's right, Mister Flume. Chocoballs, and sometimes Fizzing Whizzbees. Billywigs are known for increasing receptiveness to knowledge, and quite literally helping one to rise above the mundane.
*Nods, as if wearing Pepper Imp earrings was quite a common phenomenon*
Well, yes please Mister Flume. The Quibbler isn't as popular as it once was, so I have decided to take on a job.

*For a moment a shadow passed over Ambrosius' jovial face and he patted her hand again.*
Fine, fine, thank you, thank you, but one doesn't get younger, you see, the students get cheekier with every new term, and I can't have my eyes everywhere.
*He gave her a chummy wink.*
I say, you will be just the right person for a shop assistant, and I can give the wife a hand with the toffee-cooking, not that she has lost her skills, but she doesn't get younger either, and while we're back in the kitchen you keep the shop going.
*Eventually he let go of her hand, and gestured proudly towards the colourful stocked shelves.*
All this is yours, you'll get a decent pay, and you can eat as much sweets for free as you can manage. Is that a deal?
*Comparing his huge frame with Luna's slight built, he added jokingly:*
A light breeze can blow you away, I'd be glad if Honeydukes can help! All this health food is no good, look at me, I eat the candy myself, every day, and you won't find a healthier man in the world. Maybe you even get ideas for a new mixture?

Yes, I remember. Even the younger students enjoyed hiding my things. They always turned up in the end, though, so I never minded that really. I can only imagine what they got up to in here.
*Luna's eyes opened more widely, disposing of her normally dreamy expression*
I... I have the job already? Are you sure? I don't think I know how to use the register just yet.
*Smiles widely*
Thank you very much, Mister Flume! It is a deal, indeed!
*Can't help but laugh*
Thank you again, Mister Flume. If I come up with any ideas, I'll be sure to let you know them.

*Tina usually enjoyed her weekend trips to Hogsmeade. Due to the possible dangers that were lurking outside though, she had preferred to remain at Hogwarts for a few weeks. Today she would pay at least Honeydukes a visit as some chocolate was always good during studying breaks. She entered the shop, taking a look around.*
Hello.

*Looks up when she hears the bell on the door chime*
Oh, do excuse me Mister Flume, we seem to have a customer.
*Thinks she recognises the girl as being a student who was a few years below her in Ravenclaw house*
How can I help you today?

*Surprised to see the young woman behind the counter she smiles at her. With a large box of Chocolate Frogs in her hand she approaches.*
I'll take these, please.

*Returns the girl's smile*
Good choice. I like the Famous Witches And Wizards cards you get with those.
*Checks the price on the box*
That'll be 3 sickles and 2 knuts, please. Do you want them in a bag?
*Looks at the cash register, quickly figuring out that it has 3 sets of numbers, one each for galleons, sickles and knuts, a plus key, and a total key. She quickly taps in the price and hits the total key, pleased that she seems to have figured it out so quickly*
*Looks at the girl*
You're in Ravenclaw aren't you?

So you enjoy them too. Have you had the chance to collect all of them yet?
*The young student had fancied collecting such items all her life, even in the muggle world where it were stickers from old cartoons. Since her time at Hogwarts though her taste had changed somewhat.*
*Tina's fingers slide into her robes, drawing out a small moneybag out of black velvet to fumble for the payment. Then she looks up, handing it to her.*
Here you go. A bag would be wonderful, yes.
*She nods.*
I am from Ravenclaw house, indeed. Tina is the name, Tina Griffin.

Not yet. It's interesting to look at the cards, though. Sometimes you can tell who's part of the Rotfang Conspiracy just by looking at them.
*Takes the money with a smile, and counts out her change*
There you are...
*Takes up a bag, and puts the box into it*
I was a few years ahead of you in school. You were always very nice, but a little shy.
*Hands the bag to her*
I'm afraid your name escapes me. I suppose you don't remember my name, but you're too polite to mention it. My name is Luna.

*Tina nods in agreement. And how interesting checking out those cards could be. However, mentioned Rotfang Conspiracy does not sound familiar to her. Should she have heard of it?*
Pardon? Rotfang Conspiracy doesn't ring a bell at the moment.
Thanks. *Longing for the offered bag, she finds herself wondering when she had last seen her. They never had the same classes at school, but a while ago she used to be a Ravenclaw student as well. Unsure if she had ever been introduced to her before, she decides to tell the truth.*
Ah, it's like you said, Luna. I've never been very good at remembering names, to be honest. How have you been doing lately?

*sets up shop for the morning, pondering an advert she read in the morning's paper for an expedition assistant... to Newt Scamander himself!*
"It sounds like a good offer..."
*Wonders where Ron and Hermione are, and if they know about Harry and Ginny's death, and feels sad for her lost friends*
