It's been a few days and Charlotte still thought about how beautiful that man was, she could only hope to ever be that good looking. She had her headphones in and was listening to Cherry Bomb through her headphones. Carrying about fifteen, sixteen books, this was the last set of book she needed to transport before going school shopping herself. Luckily the people who own the shop were really nice and let her have the books she needed, she just had to get robes and all the other stuff.

Placing down the books on the table she split the pile into six parts and laid each section on the six book piles already on the table. She walked to the front where her boss was, pulling off her headphone's and pausing her music.

"I'm going, I'll be back in an hour or two. Bye!" She waved and her boss waved back. "Have fun!" Charlotte started out the door. First she did what she thought would take the longest which was getting fitted for a robe. After that she just went down her list.

Sitting in one of the chairs at Florean Fortescue's she had an ice cream in one hand exhausted from all the shopping. She waved her wand and all her shopping bags disappeared, they waited on her bed for her to get back.

Finishing her ice cream didn't take long as she only got one scoop. She pushed her chair in and threw her trash away, walking out the bell on the door jingled. Walking back to work something caught her eye. Little trinkets from the antique shop, she's alway wanted to go but never had an excuse to, pushing the door open she was met with the smell of metal and old books, the store had a depressing atmosphere and would sour anyone's mood that walked in.

There were many shelves and tables but what cause her eye was the jewelry table. Looking through the jewelry she saw pretty rings and necklaces. Picking up a few rings she continued to look through. Stopping at the earring section she was a gorgeous dark oak jewelry box and right in front of that was a magnificent set of pearl drop earrings surrounded in silver spirals. Holding her items she brought them to the counter.

Placing them down gently, the woman working at the counter looked at the tags and put the prices into the register. "Seven galleon's, one sickle, and four knut's." Pulling out the money Charlotte handed it over and the women put her items in a bag, and handed it over to Charlotte.

"Thank you." Charlotte smiled at the lady, seeing Charlottes radiant grin the woman couldn't help herself and smiled back. "Anytime." She answered even after she left the woman and the whole store was a thousand times more colorful and happy.

Closing up the shop Charlotte swept and wiped down the floors from people's muddy shoes and whatever dust they brought in with them. Her hips slightly swayed with the beat of 4:00A.M., she finished cleaning at the end of the the next song, Cherry Bomb.

Holding the broom and rag she walked to the back of the store putting the rag in the laundry basket and the broom in the corner leaning against the walls. Grabbing her bag from the table and checking it she grabbed the keys and walked out of the shop turning off the lights behind her. Locking the front door she started walking to the Leaky Cauldron.

Upon opening the brick gateway she then walked into the back door. She waved to the bartender who waved back, then continued up the stairs to her room. Placing her bag in the dresser she dropped on her bed face first.

Letting out a loud groan she pushed herself back up, unbuttoning her jeans she pulled them off along with her underwear. Stepping out of the pile she lifted one leg at a time to take off her socks, dropping them in the pile too. Pulling the edge of he shirt up over her head she dropped it to the floor, reaching she unclasped her bra and let it slide down her shoulders.

She grabbed her wand and her green silk robe that was hanging from her bed frame. Sliding each of her arms into the arm holes she crossed the fabric over her body and tied the ribbon around her waist.

Walking into the connected bathroom Charlotte sat on the edge of the bathtub and turned on the waters. Waiting on the edge of the bathtub she waited for it to fill up. Pulling out her wand she waved it to set a temperature and keep it from over flowing.

Pulling at the tie at her waist the robe undid it's self, sliding the robe off her shoulders she let it pile at her feet. Stepping into the tub warmth spread through her body. Submerging her body she let her head lean back resting on the rim of the tub.

After about thirty minutes she pulled herself out of the water, standing in the water she grabbed her towel wrapping it around herself and she got out of the water. Wiping off the water she let the drain open, water exiting the tub.

Stepping into the room with a towel wrapped around her torso and her wand and robe in her right hand Charlotte placed down the robe and wand to get dressed. Dropping the towel she got her underwear and an oversized t-shirt from the old wooden dresser.

Stepping into the green lace underwear she started to walk to the side of the bed. Pulling the oversized t-shirt on her body Charlotte pulled the covers back and layer down on the bed. Turning on her side she let the dark feeling of sleep crash over her.
