Dan could not help but grin when Jennifer mentioned that he could pull of a light yellow and when she mentioned she had stuff out the back Dan could not help but watch her disappear out into the stock room with anticipation. Hanging the three shirts he had previously picked out back on the racks Dan wondered towards the counter and gave Ashton a look of slight bemusement when Jennifer came rushing out with an arm full of clothes. The yellow immediately caught his eye and Dan could not help but think that already she had him sussed out.
As he looked at each item of clothing individual he heard her mention that they were on the house and that was something he would not stand for. She had put time and effort into making this cloths and what it took Dan a few seconds to come up with a speech and cut a ribbon, no, that was not a fair trade off.
“I can not let you do that Jennifer.” Dan looked at her sternly “You have made these, put effort into it and…and I refuse to have them if they are free. I do not need paying for cutting a ribbon, I did it because you are my friend.”
Dan looked over at Jennifer and folded his arms as if it sealed the matter and in his mind it did. He would refuse to budge and leave the shop with these garments unless he parted with his money for them.

Jennifer wiped her forehead with the back of her hand and fiddled about with the jacket. She listened to Dan as he talked, and looked up when he said he'd refuse them.
"Are you always this stubborn?" she frowned before saying this, quickly turning it into a smile.
"You've made that look at me before" she laughed. She shifted her weight onto the other foot and folded her arms, mimicking his stance without realising.
"So, do you like?" she said, picking up one of the shirts and swinging it from left to right by the shoulders while doing a sort of dance behind it.

When Jennifer asked if he was always this stubborn Dan did not know what answer to give her the honest one where he admitted he was or the joke one when he said yes but with a cheeky smile upon his face. Instead Dan decided that no words where really needed and instead he gave her a smug little smile defiantly when she comment he had given her that look before, and she was right he had and he had won then as well.
It was only when Jennifer started to dance behind the yellow shirt as she asked if he liked it did Dan come to the conclusion that she was most defiantly one of the most interesting women he had met and if she had moved to Hogsmeade a few years earlier then maybe…well that did not matter all that did matter was Dan loved the shirt.
“I love it. I love everything…even the tie and trust me I do not do ties. I will wear it with pride around the castle showing my true Hufflepuff colours and your fantastic handy work.”
With a small smile Dan reached out and took hold of the shirt and scooped up the jacket and tie and looked over at Jennifer and gave her a small wink.
“Where can I change?”

Jennifer gave him a genuinely happy grin while she danced behind the shirt, and finally threw it into his arms when he asked where he could change.
"Just here" she said pointing next to the entrance of the back room, surely enough there was a dark purple curtain under the stairs.
"If you need anything just yell" she smiled at him pulling the curtain back for him and returning back to her spot at the counter. Leaning over onto it and putting her elbow onto the marble counter, she leant her head on her palm and sighed. She moved her eyes over to Ash and smiled. He knew what she was thinking, he seemed to know her pretty well already.

Ash noticed Jen looking at him and gave a small smile, raising his eyebrow. He gave her a concerned, yet friendly look that said, 'Try not to let yourself fall too much. You'll only end up being hurt. He doesn't do it intentionally, but it probably will happen'
((Sorry Lizzer, just being truthful!))

Jennifer huffed again as she listened to Ash talk about Daniel, making her fringe lift up then back down again. She was just glad he wasn't able to hear. Standing up straight and placing her hands flat onto the counter again, she turned to Ash.
"I know, I know. Just...Nothing ever goes right for me in love, you know? I mean i'm 26, my biological clock is ticking away" she gave a playful grin before more customers came to the counter wanting to be served. Flashing them a grin and asking 'Having fun?' to them, she packaged the items and rung the money in the till and gave them their change before continuing her chat with Ash.
"Urgh, I'm just another number to his never-ending fan club arn't I?" she sighed once again. She hated feeling like this, stupid brain!

Ash smiled, "Don't worry. You'll find someone." He looked towards where Professor Hubbles had disappeared. "It certainly does seem that way." he mused quietly.

Jennifer smiled in relief of what Ash had just said, she only hoped his friendly words were true. Putting a hand on his arm, she smiled and looked away, pulling her hand back with her.
"Thanks Ash, I hope so...So, how are things with you and Cristian?" she said in delight. At least somebody else's love life was in the good sector instead of being non existant.

Jennifer looked over to Ash and saw how happy he was. His sapphire eyes were sparkling.
"He makes you really happy doesn't he?" she looked deep into his eyes, as if she was searching for a secret. Smiling, she looked away and continued writing with her quill onto a notepad.

Ash blushed and smiled, "Yeah, he does."

(Oh do not worry Kris I shall take no offence it is the truth I am sorry to admit.)
Dan nodded his head and ginned as Jennifer as she pointed out the changing rooms for him to try everything on. Making his way through the grounds Dan flung open the purple curtain and after placing the garments down Dan closed the curtains and slowly began to take off his own clothes and try on the other ones that he had been given. He was surprised at how well they fitted him, the shirt was perfect and for once Dan did the top button up and draped the tie around his neck taking a few attempts to actually get it looking right. Slipping the jacket on Dan looked around finding it hard not to laugh that his top half looked quite smart while his lower parts of his body were in rather worn jeans and mud splattered trainers.
Pushing the curtain to one side Dan pocked his head out from around to have a look if anyone was around before strutting out trying to put on his best putting face and as he approached the counter where the other two were still standing he gave a small spin on the spot, flicking up the collar of the jacket trying to act as cool as possible.
“Now this is what I call good quality clothing.”
He shot Jennifer a wink and Ashton a rather toothy smile, Dan was not sure why he was enjoying this day so far. He was not normally one for clothes shopping let alone trying them on, maybe it had something to do with the amount of attention he was getting from Jennifer and being able to act like a complete idiot and not have to worry about trying to impress anyone…he was just having fun.

Midway through talking with Ashton, Jennifer saw the purple curtain pull back out of the corner of her eye. Swinging her head round, she noticed Daniel coming out with one of the shirts and ties on. Messing about, he popped up the collar, and noticing how badly he had tied the tie, she laughed.
"Come here, pfft, I don't know, what is it with men and not ever doing ties correctly?" she laughed, walking over to him and starting it again. Straightening it up, she flattened it and pulled his collar down over it.
"There you go, Perfect" she smiled.

Dan stood and grinned as Jennifer played around wit his tie, he felt like he was a four year old unable to dress himself. With that slight thought in mid he did have to do a double take to make sure he did not have his socks on his hands and his shirt on backwards. When she folded the shirt collar back down and stepped away smiling Dan ginned back and her and straightened his back to improve his posture.
“Well I have to say I like it.” He grinned as he did another twirl watching the ends of the jacket flap up showing the yellow lining on the inside. “It is true Hufflepuff colours.”
Coming to a stop Dan looked straight into the eyes of Jennifer and dropt into a low bow taking hold of her hand and kissing it gently. The music in the shop was sounding out and with the tie and jacket Dan just had the urge to dance, even in the middle of such a busy shop on such a day.
“Miss Queens might you care to join me in a small dance?”

Jennifer smiled as Daniel twirled around in the jacket. It did look really good on him. As he kissed her hand he asked her to dance, and she blushed.
"In the shop?" she laughed.
"Of course Mister Hubbles" she continued her laughter. People would sure as hell remember her now, as the crazy lady who opened a shop up just to dance in it. Taking Daniel's hand, she'd let him lead, as that's what men should do in dancing. Slipping out of her shoes, she picked them up in one hand and put them behind the counter.
