INT. ANDREWS CONSTRUCTION - FRED’S OFFICE - DAY
Not much fancier than the lobby, though Fred at least has pictures
of his family on his desk. Hermione sits, as Fred asks --
FRED
Do you want a water?
HERMIONE
(right into it)
-- I want a job, Fred. I saw on your
website, you’re looking for a seasonal
hire, someone to help with the books?
FRED

HERMIONE
