"You're welcome to start whenever you have the time. Actually, in these days leading up to the wedding, it would be fantastic to have more help around the store. I've been closing the store down whenever I have an important appointment, but I'm sure that creates quite a bit of inconvenience for the customers," says Hermione sheepishly. She knows that she's in the store often enough that everyone's needs can be met, but she doesn't fool herself for a moment into believing that people are sticking around for the moment out of anything other than that need.

"As for the honeymoon... I don't know, really. The both of us certainly want to take some time off of work, but like you mentioned, we can't actually leave the city. And we've already picked one of the most picturesque places to live," she murmurs. "I had thought about asking Ron on a hot air balloon ride, but that's no more than a day's excursion. Perhaps we'll just enjoy the time off quietly together."
