That year past by quickly. November time everyone was still pretty much scattered. Blaise was writing his second year exams for the coaching course. Not having any matches set up until the next year. Seamus was caught up in his own exams at college. Dean was sent on raids every second week. Pansy, Neville and Harry hadn't told anyone about their business ventures yet. Draco was somewhere in the Amazon collecting resources for Severus, while Severus was still at Hogwarts teaching. Narcissa, although living in Malfoy manor, went to check on the renovations Draco was making to the estate situated closest to St. Mongos hospital. Hermione was also at Hogwarts as an assistant to the Astronomy Professor. By the end of the school year she would take over the position.

Fred & George Weasley,

     I realize we haven't been in contact much since what happened with Ronald in 6th year, and Ginny in 7th. I hope you guys are doing good with the business and life.

     If you have no issues with dealing with me I would like to set up a meeting. I have an interesting proposition for the two of you.

~H. J. Potter

*~*

Harry!

     How wonderful to hear from you.

     We thought you didn't what anything to do with us.

     After all Ron and Ginny are our family.

     We would love to see you again.

     Business is great all thanks to you.

     Life is swell as well.

     How does Tuesday next week sound?

     Perhaps we can come meet you at Malfoy manor.

     Say around 12?

~Gred & Feorge

*~*

Fred & George,

     Sounds good. See you then.

P.S. Neville and Pansy Parkinson will be there too.

~H. J. Potter

"Hey boss."

"Merlin's sake Neville. I told you to stop calling me that. You are my friend after all."

Neville shrugged. "Pans says it's a good thing to do when at the store. Anyway how can I help you Harry? Looking for something for Draco?"

Harry laughed. "Of course she will say that. Well I don't want you calling me boss. I came here for you actually. I'm going to be holding a meeting at Malfoy manor Tuesday at 12. Be there please."

"No problem. Don't touch those. The fur gets everywhere and is sharp as hell." Neville said.

"Right sorry Nev. Why don't you put labels?" Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Well I don't plan on having many wizards walking through here. That's why they're growing in the back. The more muggle stuff is out front." Neville smiled.

Harry shook his head. "Well I got to go tell Pan about the meeting. See you Nev."

"Bye."

Harry flooed out of the nursery with a wink. He had opened one in hopes of saving Draco long trips with no guarantee of getting what he was looking for. Also to help his friend out with a job he enjoyed. It was a win-win in Harry's mind. Plus he supplied the muggle world with a steady flow of beautiful plants. Easily accessible and not over priced. The store was a double story building. With the help of Narcissa and Neville they set the top floor up as a greenhouse it was spelled to water and see to the muggle plants on it's own. The magical plants were seen to by Neville and on occasion Narcissa. The plants sold at the store also lasted longer. The story to the muggles was the "food" they gave the plants. The truth was a weak preservation charm to make them last two weeks longer than they should.

"Pansy?"

"Oh hey boss." Pansy said from behind a client.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that. It makes me feel old."

Pansy laughed. "Sorry, not sorry Harry."

"You own this place?" The lady in front of the mirrors asked.

"Oh yeah. Sorry I'm Harry. Harry James Potter. Yes I do own this place. So if Pansy gives you any problems just let me know." Harry smiled.

"Oh come on boss you know I'm nothing but an angel." Pansy grinned as she pinned the side of the dress.

"She has been really helpful. I couldn't find a dress for my sister's wedding. So she offered to make one." The lady smiled.

Pansy and Harry could see she was trying to hit on Harry. Well they assumed she was. Their assumption was confirmed when she bit her lip and placed her hand on Harry's shoulder.

"You know I'm also looking for a plus one. Maybe you could join me?" She said fluttering her eyelashes.

"I do enjoy a good wedding but I'm afraid my boyfriend wouldn't be happy with me leaving him behind." Harry said.

The lady's face scrunched up. "You're gay?"

Harry nodded. "Very much so. And very Happy with my life as is. If you wish to slander that then you can find yourself another seamstress."

Quickly realizing the expression she had the lady's face changed. "Oh no I'm sorry you misunderstand I was merely disappointed. I have nothing against your sexuality. My best friend is gay as well."

Harry smiled and turned to Pansy. "Meeting on Tuesday. Manor. 12 pm. Don't be late."

"Yes boss. Say hi to Draco for me." Pansy smiled at Harry's glare towards her for calling him boss.

Pansy finished up with pinning the dress and helping the customer out of it. She walked to the back and laid the dress over the table. She walked back to the lady and told her to come back in two days. The lady thanked her and plaid for the dress before leaving.

Harry had opened the store Pansy worked at because Pansy had been having trouble deciding what she wanted to do in the Wizarding world. Having come across a wedding store during her visit to the muggle world she found that she enjoyed making clothes. So to help her and ensure they wouldn't have to buy suits he opened the store. He didn't mind because it was his dream to own a bunch of stores. He never wanted to work under anyone. Helping his friends had put him on the path he dreamed for himself. There was one more step for him now. That would be sorted out during his meeting with the twins, Pansy and Neville. It would determine whether or not he and Draco would live in the muggle world or the Wizarding world.

"Darling! I think I finally found the perfect place."

"Pansy you said that last time."

Pansy huffed. "Yes I know. But now I'm certain. It's not far from the ministry and it borders the muggle world. So I can get to work without any questionable habits. Just come with me to see it Dean."

Dean nodded. "For you anything."

Pansy was right. It was perfect. It wasn't a huge place. Double story, four bedroom place. The beds were all on the second floor with two bathrooms. On the ground floor was the kitchen, lounge and dining room with a single bathroom. They bought the place immediately and moved in a week later.

"Finally a place to call our own." Dean sighed.

They had been living from place to place as Pansy sold her family manors. For the last month they had been staying with Narcissa at Malfoy manor.

*~*

"Harry! Wow"
"You clean up nice."

Harry smiled. "Fred, George. Thanks for coming. Pansy and Neville are already waiting."

Harry led the twins to the lounge. They were talking about how the shop was doing and what they had been up to. Harry listened quietly like always.

"What are the Weasley's doing here?"

"Pansy. Be nice. They are not like the rest." Harry frowned.

"Sorry boss man." Pansy snickered.

Harry sighed. "Will you never stop. Anyway let's get down to business. I have a date I don't want to be late for."

"Oooh!" The twins smirked.

Neville laughed. "Mr. Malfoy would not like that."

"I am basically in business with all of you." Harry started, ignoring their comments. "The twins were my first funded company. Then Neville and Pansy. So my proposition for all of you is to basically promote each other under one brand. I would like the twins to open a shop in the muggle world as well. And Pansy you open one in the Wizarding world. I'll arrange the places and paperwork you guys just bring the goods. Does that work?"

"Seamus has been wanting to put his practical skills to work. He could do the decorating for all of the places. And help with the brand." Neville suggested.

Pansy nodded. "Sounds good. I can make suits and stuff foe the boys to wear that promote me."

"We'll give you lot"
"Counter sweets"
"For waiting customers." The twins smiled.

"And my plants will feature in the decorations." Neville finished.

Harry smiled. "You just need to remember nothing magic in the muggle world. And one final thing, for legal matters in the muggle world, I need you each to sign these." And the funny looks he explained further. "Muggles have this thing about growing companies. If you don't sign then they can say that the business is an illegal one. We will get shut down if they do that."

They nodded and signed where Harry told them. He explained what each of the papers said. Each one differed from the other. The main point was how the businesses were split.

They sat for a while afterwards just talking and catching up. Harry was the first to leave, not wanting to be late. The four left discussed ideas for a brand identity.
