Hermione woke up and it was business as usual. She knew Malfoy would be in soon and she wanted to try and get Scorpius to talk or show some sort of emotion. As sad as Astoria's death was, he needs to get used to it like his father has.
It's 7am and Hermione realises she's slept in again, she changes her clothes and walks down stairs and Rich is there serving early customers and there he is...sat there with his morning paper.
"Hey sleepy head!" Rich grins
"Good morning Rich! Guess what?" Hermione chirps
"No." Rich laughs
"Oh yes." Hermione smirks
"Who's going to run the shop?! My answer is no" Rich sighs
Hermione smiles as she sits on the counter watching Rich's every move. He knows what she wants but is electing to ignore it.
"What is wrong with you?" Hermione laughs
"What?"
"Where's the GOOD MORNING HERMIONE! HERE'S YOUR BREAKFAST! stuff?" Hermione smiles
"Right, I'll get on that shall I...your majesty" Rich laughs pretending to bow
He goes into the back and Hermione sees that Draco's cup is empty. She goes over and crouched down to Scorpius.
"Hey little man! Want a refill?" She asks
"Sure, what's up with him?" Malfoy asks
"He looks tired doesn't he." She sighs
"A bit." He laughed
"Is he still not talking?" Hermione smiles
"Nope, he'll get over it Granger." Malfoy smirked
"Would you like to help me with the shop today? If thats okay with dad?" She says looking at him
Scorpius looks at Malfoy and he looks between the both of us.
"I'll pick you up at three. Okay?" He laughs
"Okay" Hermione grinned
"thank you" she mouthed
Draco nods and gets up to go to the till.
"On the house. I like your son so it's on the house and don't tip" she laughs
"You're taking care of my son Granger, I have to pay you." Draco sighs holding money in his hand
He holds his hand out trying to persuade Hermione to take the money.
"No you don't." She laughs pushing his hand away
Hermione paused, god his hands are soft.
"You're going to let me pay Granger..." Draco smirks
"Am I?" She grins
He holds the money, he's incredibly stubborn. Rich comes through with his coat and passes Hermione kissing her cheek.
"Where are you off too?!" Hermione smiles
"Treatment. Don't blow the place up gorgeous" he winks
"Good luck, call me if you need me or if you get sick after and I need to get you okay?" She calls
"Whatever!" He says
The money is still being held up. Jesus. She rolls her eyes and takes it.
"Fine, now Scorpius what would you like to do today? You can help with the shop or we can go to a museum of some kind?" She smiles
