Chapter 30 - Owens New Employers (Part 2)
Harry watched his new employees leave the warehouse, sending them off with a happy wave and a smile. He had been quite impressed by Owen and the man’s daughter Sara.
Harry had been a tad uncertain prior to this meeting. From Sirius’s description, the man had bankrupted his family business. That wasn’t exactly a good sign in Harry’s opinion.
Thankfully, he was now certain that Sirius had been right to hi...

Last Time: ... his old nan always said ‘the old gods provided for good men’. She also said you don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. So if the gods had seen fit to bail him out by sending him a hapless lordling with too much coin, who was he to complain?

Last Time: ... Owen took a breath and cleared his mind. “I... whatever... yes, I am indeed the owner, but you’d be wrong in calling it a warehouse” Owen said grimly “I’m the owner of a burnt shell. Nothing more”
“Ah, perfect. Yes, yes that’s the one” Sirius said, now smiling like he’d nailed a deal.

It was a bit disappointing to note that Maesters of old saw fit to record such barbarian practices. It was easy to forget that the Maesters of Old Town were formed as an order before the rightful introduction of Andal culture to Westeros. Thankfully the order of Maesters ...
