Harry Potter: The Witty Wizard

As soon as everyone did he tapped a vacant spot on the hoop and barked, "Sandgropah seven!"

This time, Ted found himself arriving in what appeared to be a disused gazebo in a small botanic park, inside a larger wide open space, just inside what looked like a park between the city and the river's edge.

As the others moved off, with two almost immediately apparating away, Ted looked around and saw his contact waiting for him. He was leaned perched against the bonnet of a muggle automobile - some sort of van, in a small carpark - looking at him with a smirk.

As soon as Ted had spotted him, the man stood up and gestured him over.

"Mister Smith?" asked Ted.

The man gave a nod and said, "That's me. You'd be Mister Jones?"

"Indeed," said Ted.

With another nod, Smith gestured with his thumb over his shoulder and said, "You'll need to change. Hop in the back and you'll see some examples of what you need to wear."

Ted gave a nod and did exactly that.

As it headed for late afternoon in the British Isles it was first thing in the morning in Perth, Australia. Charlotte 'CeeCee' Wilkins had just been practically dragged out of bed by her mother and told to make herself ready for the day.

Grumbling about how it was her summer break, the girl made herself ready.

First, it was a shower in the shared bathroom she shared with her brother and sister - when either of them was home. Which, thankfully, was now not so often the case with both attending, or soon to be attending, university. Then it was dressed for the day in a light summer dress with sandals on her feet. And out to the kitchen/dining for breakfast.

As soon as she entered the room she saw her Mum and muttered a soft, "G'morning."

After a quick glance to her daughter while she was finishing up making an egg white omelette for the girl, Dorothy Wilkins replied, "Good Morning, Charlie." She said it with an almost sing-song voice.

CeeCee sighed and said, "Honestly, Mum. Do you have to do that Charlie's Angels impression every morning? I've been home for a week now."

Transferring the omelette to a plate Dorothy smirked at her daughter and replied, "And it was months before that, when you were here in September, when I last did it."

Taking the omelette over to the table, Dorothy placed the plate before her daughter and ran her fingers through the young girl's long black locks. It was something she often did when the girl was much younger.

"Mu-um!" whined CeeCee, squirming under the attention.

Dorothy took her hand away and smiled. "You use to love me playing with your hair when you were younger. You'd often bring your hairbrush to me and demand I brush it for you."

Still slightly whining about it the young girl replied, "Yeah, but that was when I was little. I'm not little any more."

Sitting at the seat opposite, her mother quickly checked to ensure her husband wasn't in hearing range and, leaning towards her daughter a little as if to tell her a big secret, said, "No, you're not. And I can see that by how your boobies are beginning to grow."

That had CeeCee instantly blush, practically drop the knife and fork she'd just picked up, cross her off arm across her chest to hide the somewhat apparent swellings and again whine, "Muu-um!"

Knowing it might be a little unfair to tease her daughter so, Dorothy smiled and changed the subject. "Once you've finished your breakfast you and I are going shopping. Besides Christmas shopping, you'll be needing to be fitted for bras."

Still blushing and not looking back at her mother, CeeCee just nodded and tried to get back to her breakfast.

After about a thirty minute drive, where Smith told Ted more about the girl, they pulled up down the street from the house he recognised from the surveillance photos.

"I put a minor compulsion charm on the mother to want to take her daughter Christmas shopping, this morning," explained Smith. "However, I probably need not have bothered. It seems the mother was intent on taking the daughter shopping with her this morning, anyway.

"They're heading to a muggle shopping centre called Maddington Plaza. It's about a five to ten minute drive east from here, tops."

While they were waiting, Ted asked, "How do you get away with just sitting on the street like this?"

"Minor Notice-Me-Not on the van," explained Smith. "Plus, it's what's known as a 'tradie's van'. It's the sort of thing a plumber or electrician would drive. No one ever pays attention to them in the mundane world, or that one is in their street."

Thirty minutes later, Dorothy and CeeCee exited the house and hopped into the muggle family car, before it them pulled out into the street and drove off.

Smith had the van started as soon as he saw them walk out. And the two followed the two 'Wilkins' ladies to the shopping centre.

Through the use of 'accidentally' hitting the girl in the nose with his elbow during a sudden turn and while the girl and her mother were separated and as Ted watched on, Smith used a previously conjured tissue to wipe the girl's nose clean of the blood that had erupted.

As her mother then saw what happened and hurried over, Smith profusely apologised and paid Dorothy enough money to buy the girl an icecream by way of apology. That conjured tissue was then surreptitiously slipped into a vial as he handed the girl a couple more.

As the Wilkins then left, Smith walked back to Ted and handed him the vial. Ted was frowning at him. He did not like to see the girl had been injured, even if it wasn't that badly.

"The tissue is conjured," said Smith. "As it's only a weak one, it'll fade within the hour. That'll leave you with just the blood in the vial."

"I did not like to see the girl injured," Ted snapped.

"Then how else would you have had me get a sample of her blood?" asked Smith, not bothered by it. "Break into her home, stun everyone and stick a needle in her arm?

"This way, she only has a few minutes of pain and no one's the wiser."

Stepping into a public toilet, Ted used a Finite charm to cancel the tissue and immediately placed a stasis charm on the vial.

He stepped out and quietly said to Smith, "Payment will be made, as per usual. I may have more work for you yet."

"As always, Mister Jones, fare thee well," replied Smith.

Ted walked back into the toilet, made sure it was clear of any muggles and apparated back to the gazebo. There'd be another portkey awaiting him about ten minutes after he arrived to take him back to Canberra.

He arrived back in Britain during the very late hours of the evening.
