It was a beautiful Thursday. The streets of Diagon Alley weren't very crowded because it was 6:30 in the morning. Walking down one of the streets was Mark Trego a 16 year old Hogwarts student. Mark was headed to his first day at his new job. Mark had gotten a job at Quality Quidditch Supplies and today he was dertimed to get there early. As Mark walked down the street he waved to the few people he saw and thought This is going to be great. Finally when Mark got to store he looked at his watch. "6:42" he said to himself "Im a bit early." Then Mark pulled out the key the owner had given him and unlocked the door.
Mark walked into the shop and shut the door locking it behind him. Mark turned around and looked at the shop. He had never seen it this early and it looked Marvelous. Mark had about fifteen minutes until he opened so he dicided to clean up a bit. Mark grabed an old broom and began sweeping the floor of the shop. Then when he had finished that he walked around straightening up the shelves and restocking anything that had gotten low on. Finally 7 o'clock rolled around and Mark went and unlocked the door and changed the sign to open. Then Mark went and sat down behind the counter awaiting his first coustomer.

That morning Evelyn was in a hurry, she heard from some people that Mark was starting his first day at Quality Quiddich, so she wanted to visit him, but more she wanted to suprise him.
She slipped on a blood red summer halter top and a dark pair of jeans, she then grabbed a solid black cloak that would cover her completely, she put it on and looked in the mirror, Evelyn laughed evily and said this will work. She walked to the fireplace in her room and grabbed some floo powder, she threw it down and said "Diagon Alley" is a flash of green flames she was at the Leakey Cauldron.
Evelyn walked out of the pub and walked down the street, she covered herself up with the black cloak and did not even look like herself, she came up to the Quality Quiddich shop and opened the door slowly looking down at the ground so not to reveal her identity and waited for Mark to say something

Mark sat there looking at the broom with his feet proped up on the counter twidiling his thumbs when he heard the bell ring. Mark took his feet down and looked at the person that had walked in. They were covered in a cloak and looked kind of weird. No matter what the person looks like you treat them nice and politely Mark thought quoting the employee handbook. "Can I help you find anything?" Mark said niceley looking at the peron in the cloak. Mark felt unneasy around them but really loved where he worked and didn't want to get fired.

Mark jumped as the person threw off the cloak. Then he realized it was Evelyn and he smiled as she hugged him. "Man you scared me." Mark said hugging her back. Then Mark let go of her and looked at her. "I didn't know what to do. You ooked really creepy." Mark said smiling. "So what brings you here this early?" Mark asked sitting down on a stool.

Mark smiled as Evelyn talked and said "Yeah I told you I was thinking about getting a job. Well the other day I asked my mom if I could have some money to buy sme stuff and she told me no. Well I decided that if I have a job I will be able to buy what I want so I came here and applied and they hired me." Mark looked out the window at the ohter shops oppening up and then he looked back at Evelyn. "It was reall nice of you to come and visit me." Mark said smiling.

"Well for once in my life I did not have anything going on at the house, I really thought you might need someone to come say hi and all too," evelyn smiled back and then pulled her shirt down slightly and looked at Mark again, "My shirt keeps comming up, it is realy bugging me," she laughed lightly and pulled it down once more

Mark sat and listened to her talk. "Nothin going on at your house? Thats a surprise." Mark said smiling. Mark watched as she pulled down her shirt and he smiled and said "It's ok. My pants do that sometimes." Then Mark stood up and walked behind the counter. "Well Mam is there anything I can do you for?" Mark said in an old man's voice. "How about a nice new broom. Or maybe you would like some new goggles? You know the wind can ess your eye's up pretty bad." Mark said in the old man's voice and laughing. Then he looked at Evelyn and smiled.

Evelyn watched Mark get up and stand behind the counter, she listened to what Mark had to say and she laughed, "well thanks for asking if I need any quiddich items but I think mine are in pretty good condition," she smiled and laughed, "so when did you decide to be a man" evelyn asked reffering to his elderly voice, she laughed and waited for him to reply

Mark smiled at what Evelyn said and Mark looked at her and said "Well I was in my mothers womb...." Mark said laughing. Mark looked at Evelyn and then looked around the shop. "This is going to be fun." Mark said smiling. Then a little boy walked in and Mark said "How can I help you." The little boy looked at him and said "I want to buy the small firebolt." Mark looked at the model sitting on the counter the boy was pointing to and picked it up. "This?" Mark asked. "Yes." the boy said smiling. Mark rang up the toy and gave it to the boy as he paid. "Have a nice day." Mark said as the boy left.

"Good job, for your first customer," Evelyn said gently to Mark, she looked at him and tapped the counter softly not really knowing what to say next, she just looked at him and smiled, then she pulled her shirt down again

Evelyn heard what Mark had said and she noticed him looking at her so she said, "the grave yard got a few new bodies, well i should say old bodies but, bodies none the less, so I had to take care of them and get them settled down in their new graves, I also made our house elf a new set of clothes, he was quite thrilled, but that is about all that has happened, what has been going on at your house?" evelyn smiled and looked at Mark waiting for him to reply

Mark listened to Evelyn talk and then he felt a chill go up his spine. He remembered the grave yard room which had given him the chills. It was a room in Evelyn's house that had graves and rotting limbs and such in it. "Well that's interesting." Mark said making himself smile. "My house?" Mark said "Not much has been going on. My mom's been cooking and my sisters are being annoying. Besides me getting this job nothing new has happened." Mark looked around the shop and then back at Evelyn.

"Yeah normal that about explains it." Mark said laughing. Mark litened to her talk about meeting the right person and smiled. "Yeah I know what your saying. But it's going to be hard being so young." Mark said. Man now I sound like my mother Mark thought to himself. Mark came out from behind the counter and began walking the isles looking at them while talking to Evelyn. "So do you plan on ever getting a job or are you going to go unemployed your hole life?" Mark asked while straightening some books.

"I would have to agree with you on finding that perfect one, but he will eventually show up, unless he dies, then that changes everything," eveyn said lightly, then she heard Mark ask her about work, "I do not quite know what I want to do yet, right now I have enough money to live by myself unemployed, but still I think having a good and fun job would be woth it"

"Yeah if they die it is different." Mark said walking around. Mark listened to Evelyn talk about getting a job she would like. "Well that's pretty cool." Mark said walking back up to the counter. "Wish I could do that." Then a woman walked in and Mark looked at her and said "Can I help you with anything?" The woman looked at him and said "Well my son just turned 15 and I wanted to get him a new broom but I don't know which one to get him." Mark looked at her and said "Why don't you come with me and I will walk you through it." Mark walked out from behind the counter and walke the lady over to the brooms.
"Well this is the Nibmus 2000. It is a very nice broom. It will last him a while. The cost looks like alot but it would be worth it." Mark said looking at the women. The women was nodding her head and Mark went on. "This is the Nimbus 2001. Faster, Stronger, better handiling. It's a fine broom indeed. This broom is a bit on the expensive side." Then Mark walked over to a Broom hig on display and said "Now this is the Firebolt. Best broom out there right now. Fastest, best handiling, by far the best. This will cost you tons of money. Does he play quidditch on a team?" The women looked at him and said "No he just likes to fly." Mark looked at her and said "Well if you want my oppinion you should get a
Numbus 2000. It's a freat broom and you won't need to put out a second morgage to pay for it." The woman smiled and said "Ill take it."
Mark grabbed a Nimbus 2000 off the shelf and walked over to the counter. The lady payed for it and thanked him and left him a 20 galleon tip. "Thanks, have a nice day." Mark said smiling.

Evelyn watched as Mark went through the brooms with the lady, she was quite proud of him, "You really have this job down you know," she smiled, "I do not quite know what I would be good at," she chuccled lightly and thought about what she could do,nothing came up. She had no clue what to do or where to even start
