As he approached the little shop in Holmes chapel on a nice Saturday cold morning. Sixteen year old Harry was prepared and ready to start the day. As he searched in his satchel for his keys, he was happy to be the first one here. When he got ahold of the them he dusted off bits and pieces of snow from the doorknob and opened it to go inside. The door did a ding as he entered causing the bells he got hooked on the front to chime. He looked around and smiled as everything in the shop was still in one piece. He stayed late last night making sure everything was cleaned and tidy so it could be. It's something he always does to prepare for the customers the next day. It's something he always takes pride in when it comes to the Bakery. He was lucky enough to get this job so he didn't want to ruin it.


He grew up loving to bake as a child. His mother Anne told him never to give up on his talents. So when he figured out what his talents were she always pushed Harry to keep at it. Thats when one day when he needed to get some ingredients for the pie he was planning on baking one night. He saw that this bakery had a help wanted sign outside the door and he instantly went in to apply and ask for a job. His boss Barbara hired him right away on the spot and he's worked here ever since. With a smile he turned on the lights in the bakery and placed his satchel underneath the register. He clocked in and began his everyday morning duties with some tunes playing from the speaker. He smiled when it was a song he had recognized and began humming along as he swept the main floor.


Towards the middle of the song a chime rang on the door causing Harry to jump in surprise. He turned holding the broomstick closely to him to look and see who it was.


"Hello," He greeted the gentlemen softly. It was a boy who looked to be a bit older than him standing in his view. "How can I help you?"

"Yes im here to purchase a bagel and some pastries, and a hot chocolate." The boy answered.

"This way," Harry nodded dusting up the last couple of dust in the dustpan and putting it away in a corner. He went behind the register and placed in the gentlemen's order then got his items.

"Do you mind if I sit in that chair by the window and work for awhile?" the man asked. "I won't cause any trouble I just have to get some work done."

"Of course, feel free you are a customer enjoy yourself and your meal." Harry answered with a smile. He walked the man over to the table, and pulled the chair out for him. He got a coaster for him to use, and took his hot chocolate from him when he asked may I and the man nodded yes and placed it down. He made sure to hand him some napkins and utensils so he can enjoy his breakfast.

"Thank you so much you are very kind," The man told him honestly.

"You're welcome if you need anything my name is Harry," Harry told him. "You can come and find me and I'll help you if another worker doesn't pop in."

"Thank you very much Harry, Im Louis." Louis said back with a soft smile.

"You're welcome," Harry replied walking away with a soft nod to him as he went back to doing the rest of his tasks.

In the corner of his eye as Harry went down his list of things he had to do, he watched as Louis opened his laptop as he ate and got lost in it. He placed on headphones and typed away on his keyboard adjusting his shoulders. It was moments like this when Harry realized why he loved doing what he loved. He loves when customers come in, and they can relax and shut out the world a little bit and have a few moments to be at peace before the day starts or ends. Harry noticed he had been adjusting his shoulders a lot so he grabbed a small pillow from the back of the store for Louis to use.

Not wanting to scare him he approached Louis carefully and tapped him on the shoulder until he saw him.

Louis took out on earbud as he eyed Harry. "Yes?"
