Chapter 66 - The Trappings Of Love Part 2

Reggie P.O.V.

At first I didn't know what to think of this guy. Y/N brought him with her and I was for sure that he was just a little something from Flora to make Y/N feel bad about herself again and force her to come back to her house, but the way he clung to her as if she were his lifeline proved otherwise. Not to mention that dirty ass look he gave that screeching thunder cunt had me trying so hard not to laugh, so he instantly won me over. And now, here he is in the lobby looking like he was going to hyperventilate and pass out any second. I kind of wanted to tease him, but he looked even more pale than normal and his dad seemed to have a bit of a struggle keeping him from passing out. I gotta help him or I'll start treating him like a puppy that accidentally peed on the carpet.

He looked so uncomfortable, but his dad looked as though he was about to burst into laughter. His dad tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention toward me. At first he looked thankful to see me, and then his face morphed into one of confusion. His eyes scanned me up and down. I had to chuckle with glee at his confusion.

"What are you wearing?" he asked. I looked down at my outfit and couldn't see a reason for his confusion. It was a licensed replica of the fall/winter uniform worn by Harry Potter, complete with the red and yellow tie, and was one of my favorite outfits. How dare he look at me as if I washe-who-must-not-be-named!

"Clothes, but that's not what you wanted me here for."

"Right, right," he nodded and went right back to looking as if he'd pass out at any moment. I had to distract him from over-thinking.

"Ok. So what are you looking for and how much can you spend?" I got right down to business. I didn't want this poor man to decorate my lobby with his passed out body.

"I don't have money, per se," he said. His eyes look like he's about to cry, which is really starting to hurt my feelings here.

"Look, I don't know what you want to do here, but you have to have some kind of currency to purchase something. Otherwise I can't really help you."

"I have currency," tall, dark and handsome said next to him. Oh, wait. This is the one that Y/N said was the blonde's father. Now this one was massively tall drink of water and I'm a short little monkey, but I wouldn't mind climbing this tree for a little while.

"I hope this will do," he said as he pulled his hand out of his pocket and pulled out a handful of gold coins. My eyes widened.

"Holy Harry Potter! I don't know when you managed to get to Gringott's at this hour, but that's a hell of a pile of Galleons!" I know I came off a little too excited about this, but that had to be the largest collection of gold coins I'd seen in, like, ever!

"Ok, so this makes things a lot easier. I know a couple of guys who will absolutely love to help out for the right price, and I'm guessing two of those will be the right price for them. Let me make a quick call and get them in the shop for you."

"Thank you very much for this," the blonde blurted happily.

"Ah, don't mention it, handsome. I've got your back." I said with a smile. Its really hard to find a reason to hate this guy. He's just so nervous and sweet that he shouldn't exist in this world, but the fact that he exists for my cousin couldn't be mere coincidence. Its fate. I dialed my friends' phone number and smiled even brighter when I saw the blonde's face light up and his father chuckle softly while shaking his head. I then heard the line connect and a groggy voice speak.

"Hello? What are you calling for at this time of night?"

"Well hello to you, too, Jaimie," I said with a chuckle. "I wanted to know if you and Robbie are available for a late night jewelry search." A scuffle could be heard followed by a muttered "Fuck" and a shuffle before a loud voice got on the phone.
