Chapter Nine
“What can I do fore you Mr. Malfoy?” a short man with a balding head and glasses so huge they made his eyes seem to pop out of his head. He wore robes that seemed e times to big for his short frame. But that wasn’t why he truly stood out to Kalista, it was the fact that he didn’t match anywhere. The shirt he wore under a dark green vest was bright purple. His robes were highlighter orange and his pants were a very bright red. To Kalista he looked as though the rainbow threw up and someone forgot to clean up the mess afterwards. And truly it may not have been as bad if the clothes were all different patterns. The display made her dizzy. She wondered how people could stand to look at the man when he dresses like this. She truly hoped this was a one time occurrence.
“My girlfriend is actually in need of your services Mr. Wilton.” Draco told the balding man.
Kalista blushed deeply at the term girlfriend. She knew that they were more than friends, because lets face it you don’t just have sex with your friends. But she didn’t know what they truly considered themselves till now. And truth be told the last 24 hours she had spent with Draco had been incredible. She learned so much about Draco that her views of the blond had totally shifted and in turn she let herself open to the blond Syltherin.
She she didn’t tell him everything and she probably never would but she shared more with him than she ever thought she would. She was almost instantly comfortable in his presence where it took many years to accomplish such a feat for most. She didn't know what road they were heading down exactly but she hoped that she didn’t break his heart, it is one of the last things she ever wanted to do to her blond Adonis.
“And what can I do for you Miss?” the little man asked cheerily. He almost seemed to be bouncing on the balls of his feet.
She smiled kindly at his excitement as the blush from Draco previous choice of words faded. “I was hoping to have a look at your best fabrics. I was also interested in your leather selections, if you have it.”
“I have any kind of fabric that you could ever desire. I have a wide range of both Muggle and wizard materials. I have also been very fortunate to receive some Elven works.”
“Really?” Kalista asked excitedly. She never had the pleasure of working with Elven woven cloths. She dearly wished to put to use the many different things she had read about working with such fine material. She knew she may never get another opportunity to work with such quality material if she didn’t take it now. The elves so very rarely gave out their precious works. And if it is anything like she had read about she couldn’t blame them. “Can I see it?”
“You sure may Miss. You will have to follow me to the back of the shop. I don’t keep such valuable material as the Elven cloths out front. People might be getting ideas.” Mr. Wilton told them as he lead them to the back of the shop. “I had a very hard time getting the selection of Elven Cloth. I had todo some serious bartering to get the cloth. Those mischievous Elves can be very sneaky, trying to weasel you out of as much money as they ca. That they need it really.” He told them with a chuckle. “So I am afraid Miss that if you do want the material I won't be parting with it easily. They cost me a great deal.”
“I wouldn’t ask you to sell them cheap. I have read up on the hardship of getting the Elves to sell their works, so I would compasate you greatly if I do wish to buy it.”
“Very kind of you Miss.” Mr. Wilton told her as he waved his wand in a very intricate pattern in front of what appeared to be a solid wall, which moments later Kalista learned wasn’t
“If we like the selection of Elven cloths that you have and wish for more do you think that you will be able to put in another order from you elven friends?” Draco asked the balding shopkeeper as he levitated many trunks from the other side of the room t sit on the table before them.
“I most certainly could Mr. Malfoy. Though as I have said before the elves do not part lightly with their cloths. It be a fair price to pay but I doubt it would even dent you pockets.” the man said jokingly.
Draco smiled at the balding man as he gave his thanks.
Than his eyes shifted to Kalista as she gazed at the many Elven cloths before her. Draco had to admit Wilton hit the jackpot. He had never seen such an array of elven cloths. And it appeared Kalista was awed by the site as well.
“So Miss what do you think?”
“I'll take it.” Kalista said spinning around to look the them with a smile so bright Draco felt the need to cover his eyes.
“Which ones Miss?” the man asked jovially.
“All of them.”
Draco and Mr. Wilton looked at her as though she had lost her mind. Did she not understand the cost of such fabrics?
“How much would it cost me? I'll need to send a note to the goblins.” Kalista said waving her wand to conjure parchment and a quill. “So how much?” She asked eagerly when they continued to stare at her.
“That about forty yards a spool. There are forty-eight of them. Because of the nature of such cloths it is four hundred galleons a yard. That would be about 768,000.” Wilton said doing the arithmetic in his head.
“Less than I was actually expecting. I'll still need to see your silks as well if you don’t mind. You can show me that while the elven cloth is being packed.”
“Miss did...Are you serious?” Wilton asked her/
“Deadly.” Kalista said tapping her wand on the goblin not. “The money should be in you accounts soon. So shall we proceed.” Kalista asked cheerily. She was in her element, that much Draco knew for sure.
“Are you sure your parents won't mind such a large transfer of money?”
“My parents are dead. I don’t really think they care.” Kalista said dryly. “I would really like to see the rest of you selection Mr. Wilton.”
“Certainly Miss. Sorry for my intrusion.”
“It's alright.” she said giving him a small smile.
“Now do you mind me asking why do you need so much material Miss?”
'
Before Kalista could answer Draco answered for her. ”I have commissioned her to make a dress for my mother.”
“You are a designer?” Mr. Wilton asked her astonished. “And making a dress of the Lady Malfoy. You mush have some talent.”
“It's a hobby really. Draco has just given me an added push to make it a reality. I think my designs are good but to putting on the Lady Malfoy, its a bit nerve wrecking.”
“I can imagine dear. No wonder you brought the bulk of Elven cloth.”
“The Elven cloth isn’t for Lady Malfoy. The silk is. I would not feel comfortable placing her in a dress made of Elven cloth when I don’t know you to properly handle it just yet. I have an idea how but until I am comfortable with the cloth it is for my use only.”
“If you never used it then why buy so much?”
“Trial and Error. But mostly because I know how rare it is that the Elves sell their cloths. If I were to master it and not have the Cloth to make my final project, what good would it do me?” Kalista asked as she skimmed over the selection of silk Mr Wilton presented her with. “I'll take 12 yards of the Royal blue, plum, and ruby.” Kalista said turning back to face Mr. Milton.
“That will be 1200 galleons.”
“I'll send the not to the goblins after I look over the rest of what you have. Is that fine with you?”
“More than fine Miss.”
A hour and a half later and four thousand galleons later Kalista and Draco finally left Wilton Fabric Co. and begun to head to Madame Lamont's. Kalista doubted she need much else to design the dress Draco commissioned her to do. She had found her replacement manikin at Wilton's Fabric Co. along with more books to help her with her immense bulk of Elven cloth that she had purchased along with other necessaries to go about piecing the dress together with minimal to no magic involvement. But she figured it was always good to keep an eye open for what ever may struck her fancy.
Needless to say she spent a hour in Madam Lamont’s and spent close to four thousand galleons on more fabric. When she and Draco go to Kelley Co. she bad a field day. Kelley Co. was more of a warehouse set up but still very upscale. Kalista could immediately tell this was where the british wizardry world designer came when they need a large variety of different fabrics. Though the place catered to the more wizardry world materials than the muggle assortments she found at Wilton Fabric Co. and Madame Lamont's. By the time she and Draco left there she and spent close to thirty thousand galleons there. She wasn’t sure what was was going to do with the yards of material she had but on thing was certain of was that she would have plenty when she finally decided what to do.
“Well no that you have had your fun in the various fabric shops it is time to expand your wardrobe.” Draco told her as they walked out of Kelley Co. With all the time they spent in the fabric shops and the many trunks of Fabric that Kalista brought, he actually pitied the poor souls that would have to deliver it all by the time he and Kalista go back to Hogwarts. Many of the trunks had been shrunk down to be place in one singly single trunk from each store.
He wondered if the amount of money she spent today had even put a dent in her accounts. He knew his family could spend that amount everyday of the next one hundred years and still come out with enough money for the next three centuries.
“But I'm tired, Draco. Cant we put it off for another time?” Kalista said practically whining.
“Uhmm, no. we wont b abled to come back to Diagon Alley for another three weeks. So we are to get it done today.” Draco said pulling her towards Lauria's a very popular Designer in the wizardry world.
In truth the last five hours were starting to effect her, but she wouldn’t deny Draco this. The blond clearly was waiting on this time all day. Who was she to deny him when he had been so patient with her all day. So putting her tiredness to the side she eagerly followed Draco around Diagon Alley to do a little light shopping.
