Chereads / Harry Potter: A Different Sirius / Chapter 66 - Lunch Meetings

Chapter 66 - Lunch Meetings

"I've got Beth's. I had the jeweler that made her engagement ring, make it before I left Palau."

"Okay I'll ask Beth that question. Gift for Beth?"

"I'll be thinking about it."

"Gifts for her parents?"

"Okay, another for my list. What's typical?"

"A nice picture in a frame. Cake? Uptown makes some but they don't offer a ton of choice when it comes to flavors or decoration."

"Beth and I will look at the list and discuss. If we need to we'll look."

"What's left is flowers and décor, which we need to get Beth in on. I have to say Sirius, when you hired me I had nightmares; but this is one of the easiest weddings I've every been involved with."

"Why is that do you think?"

"You and Beth seem to trust my judgement, you aren't afraid of making choices. This morning for example I showed you the sites I had in mind and you looked at them and approved them like that."Bonnie snapped her fingers. "Oh I almost forgot favors. What do you and Beth want to do for wedding favors?"

"No clue."

"Okay when you and Beth come in to make décor choices. I'll have some catalogs to look at. Harry's being awfully quiet."Bonnie tried to twist to see Harry.

"He's been a sleep since we got on the highway."

"How goes the great school hunt?"

"Found. He'll be going to the Stuart-Cavanaugh Academy. We're heading there after lunch."

"And the house hunt?"

"Stymied, we found a temporary place house and cat sitting for one of Beth's co-workers. The wedding, a school for Harry, and trying to find a doctor for Harry take precedence."

"Doctor?'

"Harry has a very unique condition that requires a combination of magic and muggle medicine to treat. His doctor on Bali died in an accident just before we came to the states. I need to find a doctor that has a similar background to treat him here. Bonnie do you mind if I do any transfiguration that's required for the wedding at your office. I don't like doing magic around Harry."

"No problem."

Fifteen minutes later they pulled into a parking place two blocks from the Blue Duck Tavern. They got there to find Beth had beat them there by five minutes. After ordering lunch Bonnie talked to Beth about everything they got done that morning, "so the next things I need for you two to decide is a list of flowers you'd like Connie and I can come up with designs but we need a start point."

"What flowers are easiest to get in February?"

"Roses obviously unfortunately they come at a premium price too.. Orchids, Jasmine, stephanotis."

"Orchids and Jasmine definitely." Sirius said.

"White lilies, white roses, white snapdragons, no calla lilies I hate calla lilies." Beth said.

"Change of Heart roses." Sirius smiled and said looking at Beth.

Beth blushed.

Bonnie got the feeling she was missing something. She looked at Harry to see him smirking at the two adults. He saw the look on her face.

"Ignore them. They'll be lost in each other for a couple of minutes. I've seen the pictures of the bridesmaid dresses Beth was looking at getting. Lia's is going to be brown with a blue band under her.." he gestured to the area where a woman's breasts were. When he saw her look of comprehension he continued.

 "The others will be in blue, their dresses have hems that are around their knees in front but to the floor in back. The dresses all look similar they're strapless with an.. empire waist. The flower girl dresses are blue but have a brown band at the waist. I was thinking that the guys should have this blue paisley vest I saw at a tuxedo store. It will look cool in pictures.

Anyway the flowers should mostly be white Beth's bouquet should be the only one with the change of heart roses the other bouquets should only have pinks from the orchids, also there's a variety of orchid it's really little but it has brown petals those would be good too."

Just as he finished the other adults shook themselves free of whatever memory had hold of them, and the waitress brought their lunches.

Bonnie snickered Harry had once again proven he was a pretty sharp kid. Since she now had a start point for Connie she moved on to hammering out the wording for the invitations, the announcements, and all other paper goods that would be part of the wedding. Bonnie made a Thursday four thirty appointment to meet Beth at the dress shop to see the dress before it went to the castle until the wedding. And they made a Friday morning appointment to go over décor.
