《The Luna Witch and Her Major》Chapter Nine, Date Night
Advertisement
With everything that was going on Jasper wanted to make Camilla feel special, so he had spoken to Andromeda for ideas and she had suggested the new restaurant; The Sapphire Swan in Silvermane, the Wizarding Alley in Seattle. She had helped him make the reservation and they were luckily enough to get a private room in the back when they found out it was a surprise dinner date for Lady Camilla Potter-Black. After that Jasper had gone shopping for the perfect suit under guise of visiting Fred and George's store with Neville; while Andy and Luna went shopping with Camilla and Teddy. Jasper could happily admit that he was nervous; he wanted everything to be perfect for her. She deserved that and more.
"Everything's going to be fine Jasper, don't worry." Neville assured, as they entered the fancy tailor shop in Silvermane: Monsieur Maher.
"Bonjour. How can I help you, gentleman?" A tall man in his late thirties, with short blonde hair and kind grey eyes, asked politely.
"Good afternoon, Sir. My friend here, wishes to take his betrothed out on a special date to the Sapphire Swan this evening and needs a suit for the occasion." Neville explained. Betrothed is much better word than girlfriend by High Wizarding standards.
"Ahh, and who is the lucky lady?" Monsieur Maher asked intrigued.
"Lady Camilla Potter-Black." Jasper stated formally, Neville had explained on the way that it would be best to speak formally as Monsieur Maher is rather picky, as is the dress style at the Sapphire Swan.
"Right then. We best find you something that will of match to such a lady. You are one lucky man, you know?" Monsieur Maher said excitedly, leading them to the back of the store, his eyes slightly widened with his shock and excitement.
"I know. She means the world to me as does our son." Jasper said happily, his smile lighting up the whole of his face.
"Do we know what she is wearing?" He asked, waving his wand as a tape measure measured Jasper and all manner of fabric floated about waiting to be picked.
"I do." Neville said, casting Muffilato and whispering what colour Camilla was wearing to the tailor.
"Excellent. I know just the suit." Monsieur Maher exclaimed, clapping his hands as he got to work.
***
In another part of Silvermane Andy, Luna, Camilla and Teddy who was asleep in his buggy, had arrived outside of Madame Bouchard's Boutique. What happened to Jasper and Neville happened to the ladies. They were created courteously by Madame Bouchard a woman around ten years older than Andy with slightly greying red hair and bright blue eyes.
"What shall we be having today? I think a nice deep wine dress almost burgundy, like your mother asked for. It would go lovely with your complexion Lady Potter-Black." Madame Bouchard mused, as she walked in a circle around Camilla who stood on a stool in the middle of one of the private rooms at the back. "Yes it would go lovely. A deep plunge neckline and a slit up to mid-thigh on one leg to give him a tease." She said winking, smiling and patting Camilla's hand when a deep blush appeared.
"Your hair curled and styled to perfection, some lovely gold heels, perhaps peep-toes ones, burgundy smokey-eye eyeshadow to make your beautiful emerald eyes pop and natural lipstick. Yes, that would look lovely and so beautiful." She added, drawing her wand from the depths of her robes. "Ready?" Camilla turned to look at Andy and Luna who smiled encouragingly at her, turning back to Madame Bouchard, Camilla smiled and nodded her head in agreement.

"Excellent!" Madame Bouchard beamed, as a tape measure started measuring Camilla and a deep wine, almost burgundy fabric seemed to turn into a dress before her every eyes, each time her measurements were taken.
Twenty minutes later the dress was finished and it was beautiful.
"It's gorgeous! Thank you." Camilla beamed, as she felt the sheer fabric.
"You're welcome dearie. Come into the changing room and try it on, the shoes are in their waiting then I shall do your hair and makeup." Madame Bouchard said, as she drew back a long white curtain revealing a large changing room that was cut off into two sections. At the back is where Camilla could change in privacy, and the second is where she will get her hair and makeup done.
"We shan't be long." Madame Bouchard said to Andy and Luna. "Help yourselves to tea and biscuits while you wait. There's also some milk and rusks for the baby if he wakes." She added, as a tea set appeared on the coffee table in front of Andy and Luna.
"Thank you." The pair said gratefully, with one last smile the tailoress disappeared behind the curtain.
Around ten minutes later Madame Bouchard was drawing back the curtain as she entered the main area, a wide smile upon her face as Camilla stepped out behind her causing gasps to spill from Andy's and Luna's lips as tears spring to their eyes.
"Cami, you look so beautiful." Andy gasped, looking over her pseudo daughter. The dress did indeed suit Camilla extremely well, especially with the golden heels. The burgundy smokey-eye eyeshadow made her emerald green eyes pop and seemed to make them shine brighter, the taupe lipstick and nails went perfectly with the eyeshadow. And finally; her hair was styled to perfection: the top half was in a waterfall braid while the rest was curled a little more leaving it to fall in a dark waterfall down her back.
"You really do. Jasper's going to be swarmed with Nargels when he sees you." Luna added, beaming at her sister.
"Thank you." Camilla blushed, smiling softly when she spotted her son still asleep. "And thank you Madame Bouchard. How much-?"
"Nonsense honey." Madame Bouchard said, waving away her money. "As long as you let me design your wedding dress, the mother of the bride dress, and the bridesmaid dresses we'll call it even." She said winking at the young Lady.
"We will and thank you." All three said gratefully.
"You're welcome. I hope you enjoy the surprise Camilla." She said, smiling widely at the confused look on Camilla's face. "And you have a beautiful son. Goodnight." Just as they were bidding their own goodnights the door to the shop opened and in walked Neville and Jasper.
The latter looking so dashing that it caused Camilla's blood to boil and for Winter to jump around in her head wanting to claim her mate. Jasper wore a velvet, midnight black suit, a crisp white shirt, shiny black shoes, a red silk waistcoat and a burgundy tie. He even had some product in his hair to tame his curls slightly. When Jasper saw his mate he couldn't believe how gorgeous she looked as venom pooled in his mouth that he had to continuously swallow back, Major purring in the back of his mind as he demanded they claim their mate so no one could take her from them.
"Cami, you look stunning, my darlin." Jasper purred, his Texan accent thick as he kissed the back of her hand. A smirk appearing on his lips as he felt her lust rise when he kissed her hand. He was glad to know he wasn't the only one who felt this way.

"You look so handsome Jasper." Camilla returned in a sultry voice, smiling slyly at him. "Where are we going?" She asked confused, gathering they were dressed up for a reason.
"We my love, have a booking in the private room at The Sapphire Swan." Jasper informed her, pulling her into his arms so he could kiss her properly; pouring all his love and maybe a slight promise into the kiss, the same way she did.
"Well I hope you have a lovely meal. You best be going, they are.... very particular when it comes to time." Madame Bouchard stated.
"Thank you Madame Bouchard, for everything." Camilla thanked once again, as she made her way to the buggy where her sleepy son lay. Brushing his curls back tenderly Camilla crouched down beside the buggy, pressing a soft and tender kiss to his forehead.
"Mama loves you so much, Cub. So much." She said, unknowingly saying the same thing her mother said to her all those years ago, as she pressed another kiss to his forehead and moved back so Jasper could kiss him as he was crouched on the other side.
"Dada loves you so much, my little man. So much." Jasper pressed one last kiss before standing up and holding a hand out to Camilla and helping her up. As they were kissing their son goodnight Andy, Luna and Neville watched happily with soft smiles on their faces. They were glad that Camilla had found someone to love her wholly and unconditionally and Andy was so happy that her beloved grandson, her last link to Nymphadora, had such loving parents in his birth parents stead. She knew they were the best parents for Teddy right now and knew Remus and Nymphadora would be proud as they watched on happily.
"Teddy will be fine. Go and have fun and I'll let Fred and George know so they don't send a search party." Andy teased, rolling her eyes at how overprotective those twins were, not that she could blame them.
"See you later and thank you." Camilla said hugging and kissing Andy's, Luna's and Neville's cheeks, before she took Jasper's hand intertwining their fingers as they left the shop after he'd said his own goodbyes. "Thank you Jasper." Camilla smiled, looking up at her mate. Her heels clacking on the cobblestoned path as they walked up the street to the restaurant.
"For what?" Jasper questioned confused.
"I know this was your idea, and thank you but you didn't need to go to all this trouble." Camilla explained gently, not wishing to seem ungrateful.
"I know darlin, but that's why I wanted to. You deserve everything and more and I love you so much." Jasper said passionately, pulling them to a stop outside the restaurant and resting a hand on Camilla's cheek.
"So do you." Camilla argued, covering Jasper's hand with her own. "I love you too." Jasper smiled widely, pecking Camilla's lips softly before pulling away reluctantly and turning towards the fabulous restaurant; a gasp falling from both their lips. The restaurant was simply amazing. It was built in the exact same white marble as Gringotts, large glass windows at the front giving view of the stylish restaurant that lie within. Underneath the windows were white and blue roses in neatly trimmed rows matching the large sign above the door. The lettering of the restaurant was done in brilliant white on a dark background so it wasn't lost against the marble, and on either side were two large sapphire blue swans. There was an undercroft also made of marble with large pillars with beautiful vines wrapped around them; the double glass doors were gilded in gold, and a sapphire blue carpet leading up to the door and leading in throughout the restaurant.
Through the windows they could see booths and tables all made of a dark wood with white leather seats, candles and flower ornaments decorated every table with expensive cutlery laying in a set way if they weren't being used. A large crystal chandelier hang from the middle of the large room that went off into different directions with a twisting staircase that could just be seen leading to a second floor. Waiters were dressed in smart tuxedos as were the patrons of the restaurant. Large ornate vases filled with white and blue roses were also placed in strategic beauty.
"It's beautiful." Camilla said in awe. She wouldn't normally come to a place like this but she couldn't deny it did look really nice.
"Not as beautiful as you." Jasper said cheesily, kissing her cheek and making her roll her eyes as she giggled, as he pulled open the door for her, allowing her to enter first as his upbringing demands.
As they entered they were greeted to a soft classical music playing in the background and a maté'd dressed in a tuxedo, he seemed to be around Fred and George's age. He had blonde hair slicked back and his grey eyes assessing them as they entered, his eyes lingering a little longer on Camilla than Jasper liked. He was standing behind a large dark wooden desk that held a black leather ledger and a golden lap. Glaring at the man Jasper rested his hand on lower part of Camilla's back, Major growling in the back of his head as he felt the lust coming from him towards Camilla; causing him to suppress his own growl and want to kill the man by the skin of his teeth. Sensing his anger through his tense muscles Camilla smiled lovingly at Jasper, her hand drawing circles on his hip as she rested her head on his chest hiding what she was doing from others. However, she couldn't help but smirk as she felt Jasper tense for a different reason as his emotions did a complete 180.
Clearing his throat the maté'd still looked a little unnerved by Jasper's glare especially when he looked back at him with another glare, warning him.
"Good evening and welcome to The Sapphire Swan." He said nervously with a nasally voice. "How can I help you?"
"I have a reservation under Whitlock." Jasper said tersely. The man glared at Jasper and seemed to check the ledger but being the observant pair that they were both Camilla and Jasper knew he wasn't really checking it.
"I'm sorry there's no such reservation." The man said unapologetically, proving them right.
"I think you'll find my partner and consort Lord Potter-Black booked a private room here for us; as surprise for me. Which so far hasn't lived up to the expectations this restaurant has.
Now, are you going to stop wasting our time and ruining our evening or are you actually going to check or do we need the manger?" Camilla asked unimpressed, with an eyebrow raised watching as the man paled drastically and started spluttering. Jasper couldn't hide the smirk he had as he watched his mate he loved seeing her in charge. He knew she hated this but Andromeda had given her lessons on how to be a Lady of a Noble House or Houses in Camilla's case, in the Wizarding World and explained sometimes you have to pull rank over obstinate people if you wanted to get things done.
"Well?" Jasper drawled unimpressed, as the man still made no move to correct his mistake as someone walked over to them.
"What seems to be the matter here?" A tall, dark skinned man with warm chocolate brown eyes and dark curly hair around the same length as Jasper's, asked politely.
"Are you the manager?" Jasper asked.
"I am. Louis Jones." The man introduced sticking out his hand to shake Jasper's and kissed the back of Camilla's in greeting. "What is the matter?" He asked, spotting the Ladyship ring that held two crests on Camilla's hand and her lightning bolt scar on her forehead but he didn't gawk at it which Camilla found refreshing.
"Your employee made Camilla uncomfortable when we walked in, then pretended to check the ledger claiming we had no reservation when I made one here as a surprise for Camilla, and when she informed him of who we are he just stood there spluttering like a fool." Jasper hissed angrily. He'd wanted this night to be perfect for her.
"Ahh yes Major Whitlock, consort to the lovely Lady Camilla Potter-Black, here." Louis smiled at them. "I took your reservation this morning. Geoffrey what is the meaning of this?" He demanded angrily of his employee. "I have warned you bout looking at Ladies of Noble Houses in a lecherous way or any woman in fact!"
"You know what? I'll deal with you later, go and wait in my office. Now!" Louis ordered, when Geoffrey went to argue. "Sorry about that." He apologised once his employee had stormed off. "If you'll follow me I'll take you to your private room and table." He added, picking up one menu then going around the desk, opening a draw and then pulling out a menu this one was a golden orange colour with 'vampire' written across it in black cursive writing. "We are the first restaurant in the Wizarding World to also tailor to magical creatures. Whatever you order, Major Whitlock, will taste like animal blood so you'll be able to enjoy a meal with your lovely partner here. Also our cutlery is of white gold so it will not hurt you Lady Potter-Black." Louis explained, as he led them through the beautiful restaurant and through a dark wooden door with a gold number three plaque on it.
"Thank you." Camilla and Jasper said graciously, not really knowing what to say to that but were glad either way. Louis nodded his head as he pushed open the door to reveal an intimate room with the lights dimmed, a small round table with a sapphire blue table cloth, flower ornament and candles sat in the middle creating a romantic atmosphere. Louis led them to their table which resided in the middle of the room, placed the menus on the table and watched with a smile as Jasper pulled out Camilla's chair for her, pushed her in and gave her a soft kiss before talking his own seat.
"A waiter will be in shortly to take your orders and a bottle of our finest Elven wine and a bottle of our finest animal blood will be on the house for the trouble you've endured. I hope you enjoy your meal." With that he left through a different door obviously that led into the kitchen. One the right besides the small unlit fireplace was another door with a unisex toilet sign upon it.
Everything was designed perfectly so they wouldn't be swarmed by the other patrons of the restaurant.
"Are you happy?" Jasper asked, as he took Camilla's hand and kissed it, holding her hand over the table while they looked at the menus.
"I am." Camilla beamed, she was nervous as she's never been to a restaurant before but she was glad her first time at one was with Jasper. And if Jasper hadn't already been happy her mood would affected his own. He was always happy around Camilla and their son, no matter what day he's had. "Are you Jazz?" She asked, running her foot sensually up his leg.
Jasper growled playfully at her as he took her hand and held it to his lips as he looked at her with slightly darker eyes before he kissed it once again.
"I am. No matter what mood I'm in, I'm always happy around you and our son. Your both my life." Jasper told her, causing happy tears to spring to Camilla's eyes as she beamed at him.

Mindful Beauty
Damien Petrotti barricaded himself within his logical, black and white walls, believing there is no area for second chances, for grey areas, or messy emotions.
