"It was hard not to notice you falling against the table," Warrick replied, raising an eyebrow. "Especially when you bumped my chair."

"Where in America? I suppose an easier question be Where didn't I go. I went all over, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, New York City, John Deere Commons, Lake Geneva. A little bit of everything." His eyes went distant, there was a girl he met while on his travels, he's still not sure where she was from, but they had traveld together for quite a while, before she left, with no explanation...........

They walked in silence the rest of the way to Hogsmeade, and when they arrived outside of the Three Broomsticks, Ivan held open the door for Ana, then followed her in. He chose a nice booth for them to sit at. "I'll go get drinks," He said, not really wanting to wait for a waitress, "What would you like?"

Halfway to Hogsmeade, Edie turned around and headed back to the castle. She knew she would go, have one drink by herself, and return anyway. Besides, she still had some things to set up in her office.

Endora was just to the front door when the owl arrived. It landed right in front of her ruffling it's wings to slow her. "Are you looking for me?" she asked and watched as the little brown bird raised it's leg, showing the small note attached to it. The Headmistress took out the parchment and noticed that the bird didn't fly away immediately. She quickly glanced through the official looking letter and a frown formed on her face as she finished. "Oh, darn, and I was really looking forward to that drink." She pulled the drawstring to her bag and rummaged through it looking for a quill and some parchment. "What do I need all this stuff for anyways," she said curtly as she tried to push things to one side so she could look down into the bag. Finally after picking through hair brushes, make up, her notepad, some old keys, a box of lemon drops...no, make that two, she managed to find a small piece of unused parchment and something to write with. She scratched out a response, sealed it with her wand and tied it to the leg of the still waiting owl and sent it on it's way. Then she turned to head back up to her office since she wanted to send a letter to Nicky but she'd run out of parchment.

After writing a quick note explaining that she had been called to the Ministry for an important meeting and she would have to take a rain check on her offer, Endora called her owl over and instructed her to take the note to Hogsmeade, "You'll find Professor Karakaroff at The Three Broomsticks."
The owl nodded to say that she understood and was off.



ooc: sorry folks but I'm going on vacation for the next week so I needed to remove Endora until I get back. Feel free to move her if you need to......pup

Warrick wasn't sure why Aria had invited him over, but he could tell Mark was not happy about it. He could feel a glare coming from him, and could even hear it in his voice. It wasn't unusual, Warrick was even used to it by now. Guys got jealous, girls got weird, and he just coasted by, minding his own business.

Warrick nodded when Aria finished talking, he had never been much of a drinker. When the waitress came over he ordered two butterbeers then looked at Aria to see if she wanted anything else.
