Alfie had spent the morning working for Neville at the stall - he thought he was getting the hang of it, enough so at least that Longbottom felt comfortable leaving the shop to him for a bit and going to run errands while he worked on his own. All in all, it was pretty good work, and the hours and pay were better than he'd ever made at any of his little side jobs. Enough that he could actually take his sister out to eat with his own money, not Julien's, which was an entirely new thing for him.
He remembered where the little Italian place was, and came through with a grin, automatically finding his sister in the crowd and coming to slide into his seat across from her. "It's my lucky week, I guess. All the people who I love that are stuck with horrible Ministry hours have been able to get time off to hang about with me."
