Good thing he had left some space on his desk and in the corner of the office...and on the coffee table in front of the fireplace... for some flora to be place.
Spotting his beautiful wife, she seemed even more so since she had become pregnant, he made his way over and resisted the urge to sneak up behind her and surprise her with a kiss on the cheek. She was on technically on the job now and he didn't want her strangling him like the vines a Snargaluff. So he instead nonchalantly stood in front of the price sign and pretended to give it a pensive look over.

The woman paused, a few steps away from the turn that took to her shop. A pleasant tent, with some really beautiful fanged geranium and umbrella flowers, that wasn't here before now sat on the side of the street. Sapphira read the signs and noticed the overly large woman (professor?) sitting on a chair with... a tin. Well that was a bit dramatic, wasn't it?
She approached the tent and gently touched one of the umbrella flowers dangling on the side. They were pretty... fresh, not completely open yet which made it even better. Merlin knew the backroom in her shop needed more colors, she didn't care much about the rest of the cafe, the kids would just pluck the flowers out and eat them or something.
... or not. Her eyes caught the honking daffodils with a small smile.
They had gotten their first sale! How cool! Jory decided to let Alexa handle Tag as she was the one who had been encouraging him to advertise the sale. Instead, he turned to the man who approached them next.
"Good day, Sir!'' Jory greeted the man who was watching Professor Bentley.
"How can we help you today?''
And just then someone else turned up too. Jory recognised her as one of the Shopkeepers here at Hogsmeade.
"Hi, Ma'am!'' He waited patiently as she examined the umbrella flowers and then the Honking Daffodils. Hopefully, both she and the other man would find something they like?
