Chapter Three:
As Friday afternoon rolled around and the grand opening of Lily's Gryffin drew near, Harry nervously paced around in the dining room gracefully avoiding the tables. The floor was hardwood with a Brazilian ruby color that went well with the walls that were painted a soft pale yellow. The ceiling was done in a normal white so they wouldn't draw any attention to them.
Painted on the walls were pictures of mystical creatures that, to many people, didn't exist. There were pictures of animals like griffins and dragons. The paintings were charmed to move, but they moved so minutely that it seemed like an illusion.
The tables were both booths and normal round tables. The booths sat next to the windows and the tables were spread out around the rest of the room. The middle of the room had a set of stairs that led down to a decent sized dance floor.
There was also a sound system that played classical music that was great for dancing or just to enjoy while eating. The speakers were located around the room in multiple places so that even if you weren't dancing you could hear the soft music.
As Harry fidgeted around, Hermione chuckled and moved over to him. Grabbing onto his arm, she said, "Come on, Harry. Show me where I'll be working."
Jumping at her appearance, Harry sighed nervously and said, "Well I figured that you could seat everyone that comes in until it's full and then hop in the back and help Sirius wait tables."
"Sirius? Sirius Black is going to be waiting tables?"
"Don't worry. He promised not to do anything today. He knows how important this is."
Smiling, Hermione pushed her magically straightened hair away from her eyes and said, "I didn't think he would. I just hope he can stand wearing dress pants and a nice shirt for the duration of the service."
"He's had practice. Remus made him wear the clothes all day yesterday and most of Wednesday too."
Giggling, Hermione looped her arm through Harry's and said, "Alright. Now show me where I'll be standing as the hostess and let me see the menus."
Leading Hermione towards the front of the restaurant, Harry placed her behind a brown oak stand with a reservation book on top and a basket of menus that hung onto the side.
Pulling a menu out, Harry set it on top of the stand. On the front was a picture of a griffin laying in a bed of lilies with a lily that seemed to shine clasped gently in it's mouth. Above the picture was the name 'Lily's Gryffin' written in a medieval scroll design in a bright red hue. The letters looped and twirled in an intricate design.
That's a beautiful design, Harry."
"Thanks. That's actually what took me the longest to design."
"Well it's a job well done because everything is beautiful. Do you need any help prepping in the back?"
"No. I have everything almost done. Magic is a wonder while cooking. I used my magic to have the knives chop and dice everything. The only thing I'm doing is measuring out everything that has to be precise."
"So when is Sirius getting here?" She asked while placing the menu back in its basket.
"We open in two hours so he should be here in an half an hour. He's getting here so he can get a look at the setup and get familiar with the menu."
"Harry, I noticed that there was a little bit of magic in the menu. Why is that there?"
"Well Remus told me that there are vampires in the town too and that they apparently don't eat humans. So I made a special little section for vampires and werewolves. The magic is on there so that when they touch it, because a vampire's touch is so much colder and a werewolf's is so much hotter, it will activate that part of the menu and show it to them."
"But how will they order it without giving away that they're ordering something special that others can't see?"
"Easy. The menus, when the special section is activated, will give off a slight charm that will make the people the vampires or werewolves are with think they ordered something normal unless they already know their secret and are really comfortable with it."
"How did you learn to do that?" Hermione asked sounding slightly jealous that she didn't know that could be done.
"I asked Minerva before I left yesterday if she knew anyone who cooked for magical creatures and didn't want anyone to know. She knew how to do it because,apparently, when she was younger she worked in a restaurant, and they did that."
"Minerva worked in a restaurant?" Hermione asked, shocked.
Shrugging, Harry said, "Apparently she was bored over the summer when school was out and wanted something to do."
"I...can't picture that." Hermione said.
"I know it was hard to believe, but she had pictures and she showed me."
"So, back to your menu, how do you plan on doing the food for the vampires? They only drink blood."
"Well all the blood I use is animal blood. I got animal blood from the wizarding world too. I bet they've never tasted blood like that. Anyway it's things like soups, or pudding that has 'red food coloring', pasta with the same thing only in the sauce."
"But doesn't real food taste like dirt or something to them?" Hermione asked remembering the DADA class that had covered vampires.
"Only if it isn't prepared right. I talked to the chef at the restaurant where Minerva used to work and he gave me a list of ingredients that vampires can eat and not worry about it tasting like dirt and how to cook them. He even gave me almost two months worth of those ingredients and where I can order more from."
"So they can eat certain things? I think I'm going to have to talk to that chef and write down things to add to things I'll have the children taught." Hermione said tapping her chin.
"How's that going?"
"Great. I found a book of ghost towns in the book store and I'm taking tours to see if any of them would be good to use for a school and maybe even start a little town like around Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. There are even a bunch here around Washington. It would be great if one of them could be used. I'm going to start looking around at them soon."
"Well don't stress yourself out with it. If it's meant to work out it will. Now come on, I have a feeling Sirius is going to try and sneak into the kitchen."
Laughing, Hermione followed him towards the kitchen and said, "Well I don't blame him. Your cooking is delicious."

AN: Here's the next chapter. They're probably going to get longer once I start having Harry interact with the Cullen clan. It's just getting up to that point that each family needs different chapters.
