The older man walked down the hall, talking animatedly, with two women walking on each side of him, adding something when they thought necessary.

"That's amazing, Nigel!" Evelyn Travers exclaimed.

"I told you incorporating Wand Making, Potion Making, and Spell Creation into one corporation would only help us in the long run, Evie." Alyssum Selwyn said with a smug smirk, Evelyn rolled her eyes at the other woman.

"Your green is showing, Al." Evelyn said, slightly annoyed.

"Once a Slytherin, always a Slytherin." Alyssum said with a cunning smirk.

"Ladies, focus!" Nigel said in the familiar fatherly tone he had aquired since he began working with the two girls. Both girls instantly quieted.

"Come and sign the confirmation papers and you two can leave, I know how much you two hate being crammed in the building." Alyssum and Evelyn grinned at Nigel, then with a challenging look, Alyssum apparated.

"Not fair!" Evie whined, then followed her friends lead.

"How in merlin's name did these two become two of the most successful witches in Britain?" Nigel asked himself, as he apparated after the two girls.

Alyssum and Evelyn's eye widen as Ginevra Potter (Nee Weasley) and Hannah Longbottom (Nee Abbott) pulled them through the clothing boutique. Alyssum's eyes narrowed at the former Ravenclaw who looked sheepishly at her friend. Evelyn had insisted that they had been neglecting their friends, Alyssum had thought about it for a moment then agreed. They HAD been uber busy with conferences, meetings, conventions, and so many other things that they had to do because they owned A&E. So, they had called up their two best friends and in order to make up for their lack of being around, suggested a shopping spree, on them. The two women had never regretted anything more.

"Gin, If you tug on my wrist any harder, not even Episky will fix it, i'll have to go get a muggle cast put on!" Alyssum exclaimed, Ginny rolled her eyes as she let go.

"Stop over exaggerating A." Ginny then began to look through the clothing on the rack. Alyssum took a deep breath, so the slytherin in her didn't blow up on the former gryffindor.

"So, this may have been a bad idea, I admit." Evelyn said taking a seat next to her.

"Oh you don't say?" Alyssum said with a glare. Evelyn gave her a sheepish smile.

"You owe me a drink, Travers. This was your idea." The former Slytherin said with a scowl.

"I think I can handle that."

"Eeek! Evelyn I found a romper that would look devine on you!" Hannah screeched. Evelyns eyes widened and Alyssum would have bet you they were bigger than a house elfs.

"I'll see you later." Evelyn said hurridly, Alyssum went to protest but she was gone.

"Where is Evie?" Hannah asked, her eyes scanning the room.

"She was just about to go to St. Mungo's." Alyssum said, irritation evident in her voice.

Ginny had joined the two girls, "Why? Is someone hurt?"

"No, but she's about to be." Alyssum growled, throwing a bag of galleons at the two girls and apparating.
