The sheriking of Daphne and Tori caused Lizz to get startled and Steven stepped out in front of Lizz and said, "Calm down girls." I chuckled and put my headphones away. Florian and Ed got up and took hold of the situation. I got out of the booth and Lizz walked towards me and with a baffled expression asked, "So you are the photograph guy?"


I chuckled and offered my hand and said, "Most people call me Jon." She broke into a little laugh before shaking my hand and Florian came forward and said, "I'm glad that you have you here."

He reached out with his hand and Steven shook it and smiled.


Steven then asked, "So you're the one huh?" I looked at him and he just exhaled sharply.
Lizz asked, "How old are you?"


I looked at her and said, "12 as of now."


She continued to look at me and Steven's eyes widened and said with a smile, "Damn, so young..." Florian looked at him and he continued, "And so talented."


Lizz continued to look at me with a mix of expression and I asked, "Should we sit and discuss it?"
Lizz nodded but then Steven interrupted and said, "We would love to but, we've had a long journey from the states so I hope you understand."


I nodded and Florian said, "Understandable, we were done for today anyway. Then we should be going."


Steven looked at him and he explained, "Well, you guys are my guest. I can't put you guys in a hotel for god sakes. You'll be staying at my manor." A giggle was heard from the corner of the room.


Steven tried to say something but Lizz quickly said, "We'd be happy to oblige." Florian chuckled and took Steven while I followed Lizz, but I stopped and looked back to see the two and I said, "You guys coming?" They quickly ran up while I looked at Ed and said, "Thanks Ed... see you tomorrow."


He nodded and we went out and Florian said, "I don't think we all would fit inside the car."


Lizz said, "Jon, can come with us in the carriage." Florian hummed and said, "Wonderful idea there Miss Allen." Florian looked at me and said, "Jon, you go with them."


They all walked into the car while I walked into the carriage and it was more of a party bus than a carriage. With a bar and beds at the back. I walked to the coach man and said, "Follow that car." He nodded and I went to the back with them.


Steven walked to the bar and started pouring himself a drink and I sat with Lizz and she asked, "How long have you been singing?"


I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Just a couple of months... my friends made me do it."


She hummed and Steven asked, "So how did a kid like you get involved with him, are you like his secret son or something?"


I looked at him and Lizz said, "He didn't mean that." Steven looked a little worried.


I just chuckled and said, "I get it, it's show biz... you have to have a thick skin... and to answer your question. I'm friends with his daughter and it's not like I have no feet of my own to stand."
They looked at me curiously and I said, "My full name is Jonathan Grindlewald House." Steven spat out the dink while both of them looked at me.


Steven said, "You are related to that guy."


I sighed and said, "Sadly so... I guess you could figure why I didn't want my name on the first thing I put out."


Steven then looked at me and said, "I mean no disrespect but working with..."


I stopped him and said, "I understand your concerns, I know my name doesn't inspire the best. But that what I'm here to change... my first singles have now sold over 5000 copies in just a few days. And it had created a lot of intrigue within the wizarding world. And I don't intend to put my name in Lizz's album. My name will not be there, it will be revealed after my album. So you don't have to worry that my name would tarnish your client."
