Naw, she was just playing hard to get or was really shy, there really was no other way to explain this phenomenon.

“That it is,” he said with a grin, pleased as a Hippogriff gnawing on a ferret now that the conversation was drawn back to him. “I was born and raised in Sapporo until my old man made me work for the Ministry in Tokyo.” Yeah, no need to go into those details right now.

He observed her some more, taking in her eyes that had nearly doubled their size now. Aha, so she was impressed by him? Ryoma’s smug expression turned even more so and he leaned back a bit on the sofa.

Then, it was his turn to get the deer in headlights look on his face. “Gabe Morrison? Can’t say that I have ever heard of him,” he replied with a slight shrug in his shoulders. Ryoma never really paid much attention to any of the male population that came in and out of the Leaky Cauldron unless they did something to leave an impression on him. Like that one guy who had come in and ordered gillywater – the prissy drink order. Ryoma chuckled a bit at the memory of that guy before focusing once more on Harley with his chocolate gaze. “So, you want to work here simply because it is a job in the wizarding world and due to the Leaky Cauldron’s steady flow of traffic you think that your chances of finding your brother will increase? Sounds like you might be better suited for a job with that lot.”

He jabbed his finger over his shoulder. Clearly, the gesture was supposed to signal to her that he was talking about the Ministry.

He arched his eyebrow. She didn’t know that she already had the job, but he was enjoying asking questions.

Harley crossed her legs and pressed her back against the railing of the spiral staircase where she was sitting. Ryoma continued to twist and bend his lips into some kind of formation that resembled a smirk. His charm to her was wildly amusing, but if she wanted the job she would keep that to herself. "I've never been to Japan before, I just speak it. I just learned it for work sake, but I plan to go before I lose the chance."

When he said he didn't know Gabe her heart fell in her chest. She felt like she had come to a dead end with her search for her brother. From all of the snooping she had done on where Gabe was all she had gotten was one phrase- Leaky Cauldron. And now Ryoma had stunted her search for her brother. This was going to take much longer than she had thought it would. Now she actually NEEDED the job. Something to keep her looking.

She pulled her dress down a little because it was starting to creep up her leg from all of the frusterated shifting she was doing in her seat, "Ryoma, do you mind if I call you that, if I wanted to work for the Ministry I would be there. I'm here though so I obviously want to be here. True I was here out of the hope that you knew about Gabe, but I still want this job. I am nit going to Beg for a job, but I would love it if you gave me the chance."
