"Apologies, I never got your name nor have I given mine. I'm William James Moriarty." William smiles.

"Ah, the mathematics professor? Your name gets thrown around a bit around here. Nothing but good news though. I'm Hyacinth Diana Potter." Hyacinth replied.

"Nice to know I'm held in high regard." William said as they entered a toy shop.

"Ah! Lady Potter! Just in time. I've just finished arranging the shipment of toys for the children. I just need your signature on some papers." The elderly shopkeep smiled kindly.

"Of course." Hyacinth smiled as she signed the papers.

"Lord William, what brings you here?" The shopkeep asks the blonde.

"I just came across Lady Potter recently and I heard of her helping the homeless children so I offered help."

"Well that's gratifying to hear. If only all nobles could be as charitable as you two." The shopkeep sighed with a sad smile.

Hyacinth was happy seeing the  children smiling with their new toys. Within the next week, they won't be homeless anymore, as the rundown buildings will be new and they will finally have a roof over their heads.

"You seem happy to see their smiles." William pointed out.

"Of course. I don't believe it's fair that they are placed in this situation because of greedy nobles. I'm somewhat happy I could do something, since that's what my folks would like..." Hyacinth replied.

"From the way you put it, you were an orphan yourself."

Hyacinth turned to William with an arched brow. "Oh? And what else can you deduce from my appearance alone?"

William can tell he's being challenged. He smiles.

"Well, from how you hold yourself and the way you treat other children, I can guess you were orphaned at infancy. From how you gazed at the families. You probably had relatives but you possibly had bad blood with them for something. Plus those eyes of yours...for someone as young as you, they certainly tell of tiredness, wisdom and pain unimaginable. Anything else I find myself failing to grasp." William summed up.

".....You really are good as they say." Hyacinth nodded impressed.

Afterwards, Hyacinth took her leave as she planned to head home with her errands done.

William stared at the departing figure walking with such grace.

"Still so much questions.............

(Smirks) Very interesting indeed." He said as he walked off home with a new goal in mind.

Moriarty Mansion

"William. Do you really think she would go along with this?" Louis asked as he served some tea.

"I still ask that myself. But nevertheless........

We need an ideal model for the world we hope to create. A noble who regards everyone as equals no matter the social status. From what I've seen......












I believe we may have found them."
William smiles.

Now Hyacinth is in William's sight.
Need reactions of her being a Witch and her wealth in later chapters!
