Hermione watched as Malfoy circled around the shop, glancing at the shelves, though he was polite enough not to pick up or move things around. Glancing over at the street, Hermione waved her wand with a small flick, turning the sign on the door so that it read that they were momentarily closed. She wouldn't turn away a customer in a pinch if they happened by, but something about Malfoy's tone made her feel that there was a lengthier conversation that they needed to have.
"I would hardly call myself as settled as a regular native, but I have enough to occupy myself with, yes," Hermione began, clearing her throat as she began to Summon a tea set, one that she brought out in the case of visitors who needed extra attention. "But I'll be honest, if passing the time is your desire, the work that's done at this shop may not always be the most interesting. It's retail, after all. Mostly helping customers find what they're looking for. That said, I am starting up enough venture that I'd been meaning to reach out to you about. A school."
A tap of her wand brought water to a boil. "Tea?" Hermione asked, glancing up to meet Malfoy's gaze.
