Ophiuchus Rho Potter

7 - Twilfitt and Tattings

Ophiuchus notices Draco at the door as he lifts Harry up and holds him in his arms, he smiles down at the blonde boy who smiles shyly when he sees that he's been noticed. "It's okay Draco, you can come in. We've just finished up in here." He says before glancing over at Lucius. The older blonde nods in confirmation and smiles at his son as he closes his desk draw.

"Hey Draco, you all ready?" Lucius asks as he walks around his desk and makes his way over to his son. Draco nods up at his father and holds his hands up asking to be picked up and carried. Lucius chuckled as he leaned down and lifted Draco up into his arms and hugged him tightly making Draco squeal and giggle.

Ophiuchus smiled at the father and son as Harry snuggled into his neck. He shared a smile with Lucius as the two began to head back down to the main hall. As they walk down the hallway Ophiuchus asks about the owners of Twilfitt and Tattings, wondering if the lovely couple still owns it or if its come under new management. Twilfitt and Tattings clothing shop is where Lucius and Ophiuchus used to get their clothes from since they were kids. The two of them had first met at the shop when they were 4, their mother's frequented the shop often and had taken them with them on that fateful day. They have been close friends since the moment they met, much to Ophiuchus's fathers displeasure.

Lucius chuckles, "They're still in charge, no one in their right mind would dare try to take the shop away from them. Dumbledore has tried to close the shop but the minister chose to be wise for once and stopped Dumbledore's attempts. Everyone pretends that everything is over and that we're living in a time of peace but they're all being very courteous, not wanting to start up any more fights. Everyone but Dumbledore at least. He's really pushing things, and he's also taken control of the Potter seat in the council as Harry's 'magical guardian'."

Ophiuchus let's out a growl, "It looks like I'm going to have to put that senile old man in his place." Without his noticing his eyes flash gold for a moment before returning to their natural black colour.

Lucius notices the flash of Ophiuchus's eyes and the rise of his magic at the same time but decides to not bring it up at the moment. Instead he decides to return to the original topic. "They have both missed you, whenever I go to get new clothes for either myself or Draco they always reminisce about you and wish that you would return one day."

Ophiuchus quickly calms himself when he feels his magic output rise and focuses on what Lucius is saying, his voice is very soothing. He glances at the blonde beside him and can't help but think that he looks like an angel, his hair shines golden like a halo his beautiful grey eyes and pale white skin. As he's admiring his old friend he notices that he's stopped talking and it's now looking back at him. He blushes and let's out a shy chuckle when he notices that they have arrived at the fireplace. "Sorry got lost in your beauty."

A light blush dusts Lucius's checks before he clears his throat whilst looking away shyly. The blonde then nods his head at the fireplace. "Shall we?"
Ophiuchus smiles at Lucius's reaction and nods as he steps into the fireplace beside the blondes. Lucius picks up the floo powder and calls out "Twilfitt and Tattings" before throwing it down at their feet.

A moment later the four of them emerge out of the fireplace of a nicely furnished room with silver snakes on green fabrics and golden star constellations on black fabrics. All of the furniture is like that which you would find in a high class a nobles mansion, including a beautiful golden chandelier with snake carvings and green flames on the candles. The reason that pureblood wizards prefer going to Twilfitt and Tattings is because they have special rooms for their regular customers which are connected to the customers floo networks so that only they can access those rooms. This room in particular is Lucius's.

Not long after they enter the room the door opens and an older black haired woman with a high bun and glasses resting on her nose enters them. "Lucius my dear, its so nice to see you again so soon." The woman greets a she pulls Lucius into a hug. "And you as well little Draco, your a adorable as your father was at your age." Draco giggles as his head is stroked by her.

The woman notices the two behind the blondes and freezes in shock when she gets a closer look at Ophiuchus. She gaps and covers her mouth as she recognises him. "It can't be."
