Alpin was a businessman, but he was also a kind and generous man, and every month he brought cupcakes to the Second Treasures Orphanage absolutely free of charge, with special cakes made for whoever had birthdays that month. Because of that, he had become quite popular there. And he loved every moment of it. Alpin loved children. He of course had a daughter and had adopted a son not too long ago. With some of his employees from the Bonfire Bakery aiding him, he brought in the wealth of cupcakes, hearing the cheers of the younger children. The older ones were currently at Hogwarts of course. "Well hello there," he said in his upbeat Scottish accent. "It looks like quite a few of you remembered it was cupcake day. Now sit down and me good friends and I here will pass them about. Now, who among you had birthdays this month? We have extra special treats for you!"OPHELIA JADE O'HARE

The kids were bustling today because they were all excited for what came to be known as "Cupcake Day". Her good friend, Alpin Zephyr, came to Second Treasures every month and brought cupcakes for all the kids, as well as cakes for those who had a birthday in the month. Ophelia was grateful for Alpin because there was no way she and her kitchen hands had the time to make cupcakes for the children, nor would they ever be as delicious as Alpin's.
Alpin and his employed carried baskets of baked goods along with some extras for the kids who had a birthday. He offered the kids to sit down and they all took seats on the floor with criss-crossed legs and smiled on their faces, except for one 4 year old boy who hid behind Ophelia. She stood a little ways back to not take the attention away from Alpin. "Reed, look he has cupcakes! You don't want to say hello? He is a very nice man." she whispered down to him with an assuring smile. Reed was a new orphan that she recently took in and though Ophelia wasn't fully sure of his past, she could tell it must have been a traumatizing experience. He barely spoke at all, never played with the other children, and it took a some work to gain his trust.
"Reed's birthday was two days ago." she smiled to Alpin, waving him over and attempting to help Reed step forward. Reed clung to her leg, looking a little timid. "He's new and shy." she mouthed to Alpin, not wanting to embarrass the poor boy. She bend over and picked Reed up, who then decided to hid his face by using the curtain of Ophelia's purple hair.

When Ophelia came in, Alpin smiled and gave her a big, friendly wave. "Hello there, Ms. Ophelia, and how are you this fine day?" he asked. He then looked down at the young boy known as Reed and chuckled. He was used to seeing shy children as some came into the bakery. Ophelia had picked him up, but it was obvious he was trying everything to keep from meeting Alpin. Alpin stepped over, preparing to use his usual genuine charm. "Now Mr. Reed, sir," he said with mock seriousness. "How am going to know which flavor of cake is your favorite if you don't tell me? Tell you what, my friend. How about I tell you which ones I like and when I say your favorite, you give me a nod. That way I'll know which one to give you for your birthday. Let's see now... I like chocolate, and oh strawberry's a fine flavor too... blueberry... raspberry......."OPHELIA JADE O'HARE

Ophelia smiled brightly at Alpin as he waved. "Oh I am fantastic! How are you?" she asked him happily as she picked up Reed. Alpin went on to speak with Reed, which Ophelia couldn't help but smirk at. "My dear, it isn't polite to hide your face when someone is talking to you." she told the boy hiding behind her hair softly, but sternly and she pulled it gently from his grasp. Reed obeyed and looked at Alpin, but seemed to be looking more at Alpin's chin than his eyes. It was a start, at least.
When Alpin started mentioning cake flavors, Reed nodded with a sudden huge smile at the mention of strawberry. "That's my favorite." she said quietly, this time looking up at Alpin's eyes. "I like baking too." the little boy said before he began to squirm. Ophelia let him down and he ran off into another room. "He'll warm up soon enough. I'm shocked you got him to speak so soon!" she smiled at Alpin, fixing her slightly messed up purple hair.

Alpin was glad to hear Ophelia was in high spirits. They both always were when he came there. "Well, I believe I'm quite fantastic as well," he chuckled. "And one couldn't ask for a prettier day outside to come here." He said that every time, but it was a lovely Spring day outside. Alpin beamed when the boy spoke about liking strawberry. "Well, do ya now, lad?" he said. " I'm glad you and I share a favorite. Always nice to have something in common with a new friend." He then smiled when the boy said he liked baking. "Well, that's two things then. I think you and I are going to be real pals. Perhaps Ms. Ophelia here can bring ya by the bakery one day."
He chuckled humbly when Ophelia was surprised that he had gotten the boy to open up. "Well, I've learned when working with the shier of the young lot, it's always best to be oneself," he said. "Let the bright and clever ones like Reed here know who they're dealin' with." He chuckled and smiled at the boy again. " Let's get you that strawberry cake, lad."OPHELIA JADE O'HARE
