Chapter Three – Meetings

Sophia Apparated outside the building entitled ‘Lawrence & Johnson Builder’s’. It was rather old looking and in her opinion could use a new coat of paint. She glanced around before making her way towards the door. Pushing it open slightly she spotted a young girl sat behind the desk painting her nails. Approaching her Sophia smiled politely before starting to speak.

“Good Morning I was wondering if I could speak to Mr Lawrence about some business.” Sophia spoke

The young girl glanced at her before replying, “Name?”

“Lady Rosewood.” Sophia said smirking as the girl nearly fell off her chair in her haste to fetch Mr Lawrence.

“Right away Ma’am I’ll go and notify him you are here.” She spoke before running off into the office at the back.

Sophia shook her head thinking ‘young ladies these days have know discipline.’

“Lady Rosewood, Mr Lawrence will see you now.” The girl spoke bowing slightly.

“Thank you.” Sophia replied and headed to the office before knocking politely on the door before entering.

The man sat behind the desk looked middle aged with a rather large belly, Sophia had the impression of Santa just without the beard. At that thought she had to smile trying hard not to laugh.

The man stood up and gestured to a seat in front of the desk, “Please Lady Rosewood take a seat can I get you any refreshments?” He asked politely

Sophia made her way to the chair and sat down gracefully and set her handbag down next to her feet. “A cup of tea would be lovely.”

“Right away Ma’am,” He smiled looking her over on the inside he was screaming in happiness this account would allow him to retire he thought. That house in Florida for the wife and him was looking more and more promising as time went on.

“Mr Lawrence I have recently come into my inheritance and do have a number of properties but none in the UK that are large enough. I have a large plot of land in Derbyshire if you are interested in the contract I would like a home built from scratch.” She said

Mr Lawrence mouth was practically hanging open, he quickly composed himself before replying, “I would be delighted in taking up this work and please call me Edward.”

Sophia nodded, “Then please call me Sophia,” she paused before calling “Blinky.”

The house elf popped into the room, “Mistress Rosewood how may Blinky serve you.” He bowed to her

“Blinky please fetch me the ledger with the details of the Derbyshire plot of land.” Sophia replied

Blinky popped away and quickly returned handing the ledger to Sophia before quickly popping away again.

“There you go Edward this contains the details of the size of the land and also the address.” Sophia said handing him the ledger

“Thank you Sophia now what do you require?” He asked pulling out a piece of parchment and quill.

“Ok I would like 30 bedrooms, 5 of them suites all bedrooms must have their own bathroom. As well as this I need two ballrooms one slightly smaller than the other. I want a large library that rivals any in England and a grand reception room. There needs to be house elf quarters big enough for 10 and also an indoor swimming pool , gym and a large office for me, plus the usual rooms a manor will require. For the outside I would like a Quidditch pitch, orchard, stables and greenhouse. The driveway from the gate to the house needs to be quiet long with fountain at the front of the house. I want the house to look classical the outside to be Georgian so it appears as if the manor has always been there. I think that’s everything, do you have any suggestions?” Sophia finished
