Holli jumped a bit as Allie sat down, before grinning back at her twin. 'Allie!' she sang, waving her hands around like an opera singer. 'Aw, brilliant way to start a conversation, isn't it? No 'hello' or, 'how you doing?' straight in, eh?' Holli laughed.
'Well... Since you're dying to know!' she said, putting on a mock gossipy tone and leaning in to whisper. 'You know Rupert? He isn't my boyfriend anymore...' she sighed, leaning back and frowning.

Allie laughed a bit. There was time for useless chatting later. Right now her and Holli were having a serious talk. Over ice-cream. A lot of peanut-butter flavour ice-cream; Allie's favourite. Taking a spoon of the ice-cream she'd bought whilst walking in, Allie leaned in too.
'Really?' she said, a little surprised. Holli was either one of two things. Maybe she had stopped going out, but for a while now. Holli didn't look too sad. Or, they were getting engaged. They'd been going out for some time, and Holli was good at hiding stuff.
'So, what's the news?' Allie asked excitedly

'Nope!' This was rather exciting for Holli. She was rather happy at this present point in time.
Holli brought her hand up and put it on the table, showing Allie her engagement ring. 'We're getting married!' she exclaimed, licking her ice cream with her other hand. Yup, she had just announced it and continued to eat her ice cream like a normal person. Allie had probably seen it coming, but, still! It was exciting! And she still needed Allie for her duties! So, she was NOT letting her go off in a hurry. No way, josé.

'EEEEEEEEEEEE, HOLLI. Oh. My. Merlin,' Allie screamed, causing several people sitting around to gape at the screaming woman. And with a rush of emotions, several tears started to leak from her eyes as she grabbed her twin into a massive hug.
'How long...how long have you been engaged?' she gasped in happiness, grinning like a maniac. She could be bridesmaid, and there'd be boys at the wedding. Boys, Allie smirked... She could easily get a boyfriend there.
'Have you told Mum? or Dad?' she squealed, knocking her ice-cream right over onto her lap

'I KNOW, RIGHT!?' Holli squealed, laughing happily, hugging her twin back. She was getting MARRIED. She l aughed as her sister cried, poking at her cheeks. 'You crying tears of joy? I'm honoured!' she said in a posh voice.
'I think it's been two days now...' Holli said, counting the days off on her hand. She was pretty sure.
'Nope, not yet! I wanted you to be the first to know!' Holli smiled, before laughing at her twin's clumsiness. Ice cream on her lap... She waved her wand, clearing the ice cream, before coughing.
'Will you be my maid of honour?' she asked, grinning widely. She needed a maid of honour. Someone to help her pick out a dress and other duties like that...

'It's so scary... hearing it like that... we're hardly 22...' Allie laughed.
'Wow, 2 days, not long, you must be so excited,' she grinned, hugging Holli again. 'We'll have to tell Mum and Dad together. They'll be so excited.'
Allie grinned... Holli wanted her to be her maid of honour. Sure, that was going to happen, but Allie was still touched.
'Noooo,' she said sarcastically, poking her twin. 'Of course,' she grinned... 'I hope i don't trip up walking down the aisle...'

Holli nodded. 'It's scary thinking about it!' she said, nodding her head. Blimey, she wouldn't be Holli LEWIS anymore! But, she'd still be her. Just not by name. She'd still be the prankster she was.
Holli nodded, reciprocating the hug again. Allie seemed to be happy, and so Holli was as well. It'd suck if Allie hdan't been happy... 'Of course! Blimey, Mum's gonna get all 'WEDDING PLANNING' mode, isn't she?' Holli sighed. Ah, well, at least she'd be able to take it this time!
'You won't?' Holli said in a mock hurt tone, poking her twin back. 'Awesome! Naw, you won't, maybe slip, but we'll make sure you don't trip...' Holli chuckled, thinking about it. Knowing Allie, she may just trip...

Wally looked up at the man. He looked at Sammy who was intent on eating his ice cream. He figured the 9 year old wouldn't mind. "Go right a head." He said motioning to the chair.

Sammy looked at the man who was going to sit with them. He really didn't care. Wally had bought him ice cream and he loved ice cream!

''Thanks.''Tim said Smilling.He sat down and said''My Name is Tim Prexton,Pleasure to meet you.''He said Holding out his hand.

Lori sat on an empty seat and looked at the other boy.He held out his hand and said''I'm Lori,Pleasure to meet you.''He said like his Uncle.

Wally shook the man's hand. "Wally Avery. And this..." He said motioning to the 9 year old seated across from him. "...is Samuel." He wasn't going to be explaining anything right now. No reason to really.

Sammy looked at his cousin Wally. "It's Sammy, Wally. You know that." He did not being like called Samuel. Sam was fine but NOT Samuel. He looked at the person who had to be about his age sitting next to him. "I'm Sammy." Pleasure to meet you? That was a weird thing to say.

''Hello.''He said waving to the 9 year old.''Lovely to meet you as well.''Work in Magical Transportation,And you?"Tim asked curiously.

Lori sat next to the child and licked her Ice cream.''What flavour do you have?"She asked.

Wally took another bite of his yummy ice cream. Great. They he was talking about work. "Um...uh...I'm actually still looking for a job right now." He really needed to find one. He had nothing else to do with his time.

Sammy looked at the girl. "Cookies n Cauldron Cakes. It's my favorite." He gave the girl a strange look. He didn't talk to a lot of girls at school. Girls were weird.

''Well You'll find one some day but right now the Ministry is kind of at sides.''The man probably didn't know what he was talking about.''Minster Borr.''

''Nice.''She said smiling.She looked at her uncle and back to Sammy.Obvivously he didn't talk to girls much.

Wally just nodded and ate his ice cream. He had no idea what this man was talking about. Oh well. Time to pretend he did. "Right. Minister Borr. Really causing a bunch of problems isn't he." It sounded good to Wally.

Sammy just stared at Lori and ate his ice cream. His friends here said that all girls had cooties and they shouldn't hang out with them. He didn't feel right sitting next to her.

''Yeah,theres alot of ereasons why everyone wants him gone.''He licked his ice cream and said''Where were you born?''

Sammy looked a little strange so Lori got up and sat down next to her Uncle.She started to lick her ice cream and said''Uncle Tim I want to go.'She said whining.

Wally just nodded his head like he knew what the man was talking about. Ah. A conversation he could actually participate in. "Brooklyn, New York. Hence the accent."

Sammy watched as Lori moved by the other man. He didn't care. Girls were icky anyways. He took a big bite out of the cone.

''Nice.''He said shaking his head.''Born in Ireland,Probably can't see my accent.''No one could.Tim looked at Lori and said''Lori I'm having fun talking to this man.''He said aiming his hand at Wally.''I'm sorry about her.''He said sadly.

Lori sat down back next to Sammy and said''Obviously you think I might give you cooties but I'm not.''And looked back at his Uncle.

Wally nodded. So that would be the second person he'd met from Ireland. Which was cool. "Yep. Don't hear the slightest hint of it." He looked at the little girl that had joined them and watched as she huffed and went back to sit next to Sammy, who didn't seem to thrilled by this. "It's all right. I'm used to having Sammy with me so younger kids don't bother me."

Sammy watched as Lori came and sat back next to him. He just continued to munch on his ice cream cone. He wasn't going to talk to her. He didn't want to.

''Not many people Do.''Tim said laughing.''Thanks.''What house were you in at Hogwarts.''

Lori was not having fun eating her ice cream with Sammy so she pulled out her Ipod and started to play it.

Wally took a bite of his ice cream. "Didn't go to Hogwarts. Just moved here recently. I graduated from a school in America." He wished he could have gone to Hogwarts though. It seemed like such a great school. He noticed Sammy was ignoring the girl who had now pulled out an iPod. "Sammy. Don't be rude."

Sammy looked up at his cousin. "All right. But she's being rude now." He took another bite of his ice cream. "Can I get an iPod?" He always wanted one but his mom always said no. Maybe Wally would be nice and get him one.

Wally let out a sigh. "Maybe." He said before turning back to Tim.

''Really.''Tim said astounded.''Hogwarts was terrific.Tim looked at Lori and said''Don't be rude.''He turned back to Wall and said''Kids are so annoying.''

Lori put her Ipod and started licking her ice cream.She was not going to start the conversation,He was.

Wally just turned away from the kids. "Yep. Wanted to give Sammy here the best. He'll be going to Hogwarts in a couple of years." He was so proud of his little cousin, glad that he'd also received the family abnormality. Wally just ignored the man's last comment. He didn't want to turn into a jerk.

Sammy just ate his ice cream and stared at Lori. He didn't want to talk to her. But Wally was going to make him anyways. "How old are you?"

''Exactly the best for the kids.''He said smiling.''Oh sorry I didn't really mean that.''Lori and my Neices and Nephews have really helped me through my life.''He didn't know what he would do without them.
Lori was licking her ice cream when the boy made conversation.''I'm 9 years old.''And you?"'

Wally nodded and finished off the last of his ice cream cone. "Yeah. Sammy here's been a big part of my life for about the past year while I was taking care of his mom." He missed his aunt deeply but was glad she'd allowed Sammy to stay with him.

Sammy stopped listening to what Wally was talking about. "Same." He said before he took a big bite of the cone.

''Kids are a big part of my life.''He said remembering all of his family.''So Sammy lives with you.''

Lori heard that he was the same age.She finished her ice cream and Looked at her Uncle.Not evern half ay there,What a slow eater Lori thought.''Excited about going to Hogwarts.''She asked curiously.
