The rest of the morning was spent reading through Dumbledore's very detailed notes on the subject of where magic stemmed from. You felt it was as good a place to start as any.

You had your notebook and quill on hand to jot down notes here and there that you thought may be relevant to your own research.

Oakley was a charming house elf and you found working with her to be great fun. She had been with Dumbledore since he was in his twenties so no one knew him better than she did. She was very like him in her personality and wisdom. Very good-natured and always wanting to help.

You had been working solidly for a few hours forgetting the time when there was a small ping heard from your office foyer and then a knock on your door.

"Come in," you call as the door opens to reveal Draco, Harry, Luna and Hermione.

"Wow!" Hermione gasps looking around her. "This is your office? Merlin it is beautiful."

"Isn't it? Apparently it was the pervious Minister's wife's office."

"He always was flashy that Thicknesse was. Even before he was under the Dark Lord's control." Draco scoffed. "Are you ready for lunch love?"

"Oh yes I am. Sorry I got caught up."

"You have been busy Evee," Luna smiled looking at all the pages on your desk.

"We has been working hard to get all research reads Miss," Oakley bowed.

"Oh hello, I am Hermione and these are my friends Luna and Draco. This is my boyfriend Harry. Do you work with Evee?"

"I does Miss Hermione. Three days a week I is working here. I am excited to works with Miss Evee."

"Oakley, I am going to head on lunch, would you like to join us?"

"Oh no thank you Miss Evee. I likes to eats with the other house elves in the canteen. I shall see you back here in an hour."

"Great. Enjoy your lunch." Oakley gave a smile and with a pop she was gone.

"So lunch," Harry started. "There is a sandwich trolley that comes round, the canteen or there is a small café on the first floor."

You all headed out to the hallway just as the lady with the sandwich trolley came past. It wasn't so much a sandwich trolley as a rather portable café on wheels. There were salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, chips, soups galore and various drink and snacks,

"Do you just want to get stuff here and we can eat in my office?" you suggest.

"That sounds lovely Evee. Thank you for offering," Luna smiles as she heads to the little lady next to the trolley and places her order.

"Draco? What do you fancy?" you lean your head on his shoulder as he kisses the top of your head.

"You," he smiles.

"Very funny. I meant what would you like for lunch?"

"I think I will have a chicken salad and a bag of chips. What about you?"

"I see a chicken and stuffing sandwich, which looks good. Maybe a packet of crisps oh and a little tub of fruit. My treat of course."

"I cannot wait for my first pay check when I do not have to live off you. It seems unfair for you to always pay," he sulks.

You order your food and head back into the office with everyone in tow. "Draco it is not my money. It is our money. I want to share with you. You can't think if it as I am paying. That is why I gave you access to the vault. And your mum and Luna and Blaise."
