Granddaughter of Voldemort Book 2

Chapter 17: Blaise

I smiled at Atlantia as we were trying different color schemes in the shop. It was very easy to choose the right one since with Atlantia's powers and my magic we were able to just change the colors and design with the wave of our hands or wand.

"I kinda like the dark color scheme." I said as I looked around the shop. "Reminds me of Snape's dungeon."

"Potions can be dark but a lot of them aren't dark." Atlantia was saying looking around the room, "Maybe not so dark." She waved her hand and the color scheme changed to a warm brown that wasn't too dark but not too bright. "Much better."

"I like it." I say swinging my arm around her shoulder, "Time for shelves?" We worked on the shop for most of the day and I was happy to say that by the end of the day, we had the shelves up so all that was needed was the merchandise.

"Well, tomorrow we need to get started on the potions." Atlantia told me. I gave her an exaggerated sigh before swinging my arm over her shoulder.

"Well, that's tomorrow so how about we go to the Weasley's for dinner? Fred and George told me that their mom invited the four of us to dinner tonight." I told her. Her eyes lit up at that. She really felt like Mrs. Weasley was probably the mom that she never really had so she was excited. My mom hasn't contacted me since that fight but I don't mind. She never really raised me but I still respected her like a son should. However, after her disrespecting Atlantia and thinking Atlantia was a prize instead of a person, I was done trying to respect her especially since I knew all my "dads" were not just randomly dying.

"That sounds amazing." Atlantia said grinning. "I'm going to get dressed in some nicer clothes." She disappears up the stairs and I watch her go before going to grab my jacket and the floo so we could head to dinner once Atlantia came down. As I was doing so, I heard the front door's bell ding which confused me since I was sure I had the closed sign up. We left the door unlock since Fred and George liked to surprise us during the day so we left it open for them to come and go. I looked around the shelf that was in front of the door and was surprised to see that angry woman that made a scene last week when we had originally buying the shop.

"Can I help you?" I say politely. I was not going to be the first one to be rude.

"I see you guys have been busy." She says looking at our newly finished shop.

"Yes, we have. We plan to be open for business by next week so if you would like to place orders for a potion you can do so then." I say, "We are not open till then and will not be accepting any orders till then."

"I'm not here to purchase your potions." She said with that proud tone of her, "I'm here to help you."

"Help us?" I repeat confused.

"Yes, young children like you who have barely finished school are not equipped with the knowledge in how to run a business. That is why I am here to buy into the business and I can help make sure it runs smoothly." She says giving me a smile like she was solving all our problems. "So, you ready to talk terms?"

"Yes, I am and I'm going to decline your offer." I say trying to keep my voice level, "We are doing just fine on your own and even if we weren't, you would be the last person we would chose to help us."

Her eyes flash with anger, "Now you listen you ungrateful brat..." but she never got to finish whatever she was going to say because the whole room darkened. Glancing behind me, I see Atlantia on the last step of the stairs with her eyes glowing with her anger.

"I'm pretty sure my boyfriend is not being ungrateful," Atlantia began, "since I am aware of how you treated us last time you took a step in this shop. Now, we have been fairly polite to you so I am just going to give you this warning...If you take one step into this building again, I will have you arrested. You may be a member of the Ministry but you are not the only one with friends in high places. So, I don't ever want to see you in this shop again." She waves her hand and the door swings open. The woman glares at the two of us before stomping out of the door and once she was through, Atlantia slammed the door behind her.

"I hate that lady." She mutters.

"I do to but we have a date with Mrs. Weasley so we need to get going." I say trying to cheer her up. She brightens up again and I hand her the floo jar I had been carrying and she takes a bit of the floo before stepping into the fireplace. She shouts "the Burrow" and she dissappears in a flash of green smoke. Once it was clear, I take a bit of the floo before setting the jar above the fireplace and stepping in repeating the same words that Atlantia said. When I appeared, I saw Atlantia being squeezed to death by Mrs. Weasley.

"Blaise," She squeaked when she saw me which caused Mrs. Weasley to release her hug. "I don't think you have officially met but Molly, meet Blaise my boyfriend."

Mrs. Weasley gave me the mom once over before she enveloped me in a hug, "It's good to meet you outside of the battle scene or the hospital."

"Same," I say as we pull apart. Atlantia and her immediately began to catch up as she followed Mrs. Weasley to the kitchen.

"Hey Blaise." I turn to see Harry standing there with Hermione, Ron, and Ginny all standing there.

"Hey guys." I see giving them each a hug. I chat with them for a bit about what they have been doing since they left Hogwarts before I hear Atlantia and Mrs. Weasley calling for us.

"So," Mrs. Weasley was saying after we had all gotten food. "How is the potion shop going? I heard you have recently bought the shop."

"Yeah," Atlantia confirmed, "We bought the shop last week. We're a block from Fred and George's shop. We have an agreement with Fred and George to have some potions be sold at the shop."

"Like what?" Ginny asks as she took a bite of the roasted chicken.

"We haven't decided on a full list." I say exchanging a look with Fred, George, and Atlantia, "but we have agreed on the love potion and some joke related potions. More may be added later but that is the list for now."

"What will your shop offer?" Hermione asks, "Most wizards and witches can make their own potions."

"Yeah, but we will offer some potions that they can't make." I say taking a sip of my butter-beer.

"Like?" Ron prompted.

"I have a version of the nectar and ambrosia that regular mortals can consume so I will offer those at the shop." Atlantia begins, "I also have some different potions that my parents taught me which will most likely be offer. Like we said, the full inventory hasn't been confirmed yet so everything is still changing."

"But in addition to the potions, we will also offer some potion ingredients including some hard to find ones." I add.

"Enough about us," Atlantia said smiling, "I want to hear about how you guys are doing with the Ministry."

"Well, Ron and I have applied to be Aurors so we're just waiting for a response to see if we made it into the school." Harry said.

"I am sure you two will be hired." I tell them. "especially with your history."

"I would be more shocked if they didn't hire you." Atlantia said which caused everyone to laugh of how true it was.

"I had applied for a position in the Ministry a couple of weeks ago." Hermione began, "And this morning I got a letter saying I got a position in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. I hope to further my work in S.P.E.W."

"Oh that's fantastic dear," Mrs. Weasley said as the rest of us offer our congratulations. We continue to chat through the dinner about our lives especially everyones' relationships and soon it was time for all of to leave. Atlantia was sad to leave but we made a rule to have dinner every Sunday at the Weasley's house. Atlantia, and I as well, was very happy at that. We also asked to invite Draco, Millicent, and Pansy which everyone agreed since they were also close friends. With the plan in set, I watch as everyone says goodbye to Atlantia before she disappears into the fireplace. I repeat Atlantia's actions and soon we were back in our shop feeling excited for the days coming.
