Default Park Bench

Placed strategically along the south end of the street, there are about five park benches on either side of the street offering a place for the weary to rest their tired feet for a moment. There is one situated between Eeylops and Flourish and Blotts, one between Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and Ollivanders - and then on the opposite side of the street, between Primpernelle's and Wiseacres, and Sugarplums and the Menagerie. The fifth bench is where the cobblestone ends, clearly placed there to let you know you've reached the end of the street and to turn back now.

Though I would be wary of the bench near Sugarplums, as well as the one near WWW, as both seem to have fairly strong odors associated with them. The one near WWW simply because WWW gained a store location right near the rubbish bin, which holds various items, some still of value, but many decomposing. And that Sugarplums bench? It used to be home to at least one homeless person who's hair was so matted, it could have been used by your front door, and who likely hadn't had a proper shower or change in clothes in several years. The lovely shopkeeper assistant from Sugarplums saw to it that the homeless of the area were sorted out though.... the stench still lingers. She is currently working on that.

In other words, she was inquiring about his life outside Hogwarts, something she really hadn't picked up on at all since they'd been in school together. This was part of the reason she wanted to get out more this next school year. She had acquaintances, but no solid group of friends. Not to mention that everyone around her seemed to have a boyfriend or girlfriend, and she was probably waaaaay behind on that kind of thing.

"I'm just hanging out today," she said, gesturing toward her empty hands. "No school shopping for me. It's waaaay too early for that." She laughed a little but also glanced down the alley. She would have to start on that kind of thing soon. "Any plans this summer?" she asked. Exciting plans, she meant. Probably everybody their age just planned on staying as far away from school as possible and sleeping in as late as they can. "We're going to spend some time in France." Apparently, there was some amazing, must-visit apothecary her mother had been talking about going to for ages.

SIGH.

Breaking the rules wasn't all that fun. But would he learn? Probably. Would he get better at breaking rules? Hell yeah.

Looking for a place to rest, his green eyes spotted a bench--a nice bench--and he was en route when someone stole it. He grumbled. Oh, but there was Corbin. Hehe. He and Corbin had some fun last term, accidentally dropping water balloons from the ceiling and some unfortunate girls in white blouses getting soaked by them. TOTAL accident.

Cornelius casually strolled towards what was his targeted bench and sat on the other side of the girl with Corbin, sandwiching her, but not squishing her.

"'Sup?"
The invitation to sit was taken quickly, and Corb leaned back slightly on the bench as he did. "Not a lot," he said, holding the vinyls up. "Bought some new music." A.K.A. nothing for school whatsoever, but he was sure that it was pretty obvious to Ariadne. He chuckled as she spoke, seeing that she indeed had the same idea as him - school stuff didn't really need to be sorted quite yet.

Or, if he had any say, ever. He shrugged a little at her next question though. "Nothing major. Some football tournaments, hanging out with friends as far away from school as possible, that kind of thing." She understood, of course, the need to stay as far away from school as possible during the summer - it was almost ironic, being in Diagon Alley when that was his aim, surrounded by shops that reminded everyone of the upcoming term, but it was the perfect place for impromptu meetings with friends. Exactly like the one he was currently enjoying. "France sounds amazing, what're you going to do there?"

"Alright, Cornelius?" Corbin grinned as the boy sat on the other side of Ariadne. "Just talking about summer plans. You doing anything cool?"

Astrea had money. She DID. She'd somehow managed not to spend it all on sweets even though she really really wanted to. But she was twelve, and she was going to be thirteen this year. And....it meant...well....

She was getting to be a woman soon.

That being said, she stared at Madam Primpernelle's nervously. She wanted to go inside and buy all the things, but she didn't know WHAT to buy or....what she SHOULD buy or...anything. And there was no way in heck she was bringing her Grandpap in there.

So, for now, she was trying to get some of her Gryffindor courage rounded up to go inside.

...and suddenly, there were BOYS EVERYWHERE!

Well, not everywhere, but there was another one on the opposite side of her, making her sandwiched in between them. Now Ariadne had never actively pursued boys or swooned over them or that sort of thing, but she was starting to notice them lots more than she did when she was little kid (aka a firstie and second year). Hanging out with boys was sort of exciting in a way! She had to fight the urge to giggle, and it worked. No giggling here.

"Hey, Cornelius," she said, responding to his casual 'sup. "The usual. Hanging out...avoiding school shopping until waaaaay later. How's it going?" She wondered if it was just her, or if everybody was avoiding school like the plague. She looked over to Corbin to see what he had to say about that.

Music shopping? "Cool. What kind of music?" she replied. He looked like a rock band kind of guy, but she couldn't be sure. "Football tournaments sounds awesome. Makes me miss Quidditch." She was still bummed that everybody in her family got to play for the school team but her. She shrugged when he asked what they were doing in France. "Apparently it's some potions mission for my mom. She's a potions mistress, and she wants to personally visit this apothecary they have there. She can just apparate, but my dad wants to get away for a while." She shrugged again. "Who knows. It might be cool, and...maybe I'll meet some Beauxbatons kids there."

Always the tone of surprise? Definitely a Vivian Fairfield thing, no doubt.

The blonde smiled even more when he said that her accent improved. Not bad, eh? "I've been practicing. The book you sent was very helpful. Thank you," Vivian said. But she had to put another thing out. Andrei deserved some praise too. "Your English is getting better too. Great job." The boy received two thumbs up from her.

She didn't mind him stroking her hair. She actually liked it. Who didn't like having their hair played with? Vivian didn't want to let go, if only she were allowed not to leave. But she slowly released from the hug. She was sure there'd be more soon, before they separated ways. Again. Vivian noticed the book that fell and picked it up, dusting off the dirt. She blinked at the title. Romanian, obviously. Though she didn't quite understand any of the words except for 'everyone', she managed to smile. "Thank you. What's it about?" she asked and then went back to sit, and gestured for him to join her. They had a loooot of things to talk about and catch up!

Andrei couldn't help but grin at her unwarranted praise. Anyone could have sent her a book and it was her own ambition and curiosity that had driven her to improve, but he left such thoughts unsaid. Her kindness was, and always would be, appreciated. "Mulţumesc mult," he grinned. "English...universal tongue at Durmstrang." Which the Romanian boy found intriguing, almost as though the school had a silent agreement to breed bilingual students.

Andrei eagerly followed, taking a seat right beside her and setting his bag down on the ground between his feet. "You haff to read to find out," he cheekily replied to her inquiry about the book. "If tell...it will spoil."

Sashaying down the streets like she owned them - which she sort of DID since she was born in the Alley at the Leaky Cauldron AND given the title of princess at birth - Sachiko approached arguably her favorite shop ... only to see that someone was impeding her entry.

Ug.

Take a picture, it would last longer. Merlin.

"Are you going in or..." Just going to stay in her way?

Vivian was really getting used to Andrei speaking in Romanian. She learned more of the language as they both kept writing letters to each other either in simple phrases of the language to some of his mind-boggling straight Romanian sentences which always made the blonde consult the dictionary she'd received from him. Oh, and she didn't forget those cream puffs too. Heavenly. She didn't even share them with her Kneazle. Andrei knew what kind of gifts to sent. A+, indeed.

Ahh, that made some sense. English as the universal tongue at school. "That must be why! That must be cool!" the blonde grinned. "How's Durmstrang, by the way?" She wanted to know if there were such differences between their schools and if they both offered the same classes and lessons. Vivian always found herself very curious with just about everything!

And since she felt it was important for whatever reason, the blonde took out a licorice-flavoured sugar quill from the pocket of her skirt. Yeah, she still couldn't believe her girl-ness herself. "Remember when we first met at that cafe?" She gave him one of those that day, and she could vividly recall the memory in her head. Grinning, she offered the sugar quill to him. Because why not?

Rubbing the back of his neck, Andrei shrugged his shoulders shyly and began to fiddle with the straps on his bag for something to distract his fingers with. "It can be...tiring," he admitted with a chuckle. "Switch between many languages." Why he was especially grateful that Vivian was willing to learn his mother tongue, admittedly selfishly so, as it gave him a little bit of a break from the constant swirling of words in his brain. Not that he did not enjoy conversing with others in something other than Romanian, it was all levels of personal growth. "I like it much more than original thought," he smiled. He had had concerns that perhaps he would lament not being in school with the girls he had met the summer prior to starting, but everything had turned out alright. "Very cold...always snow...but also very beautiful."

The cold often made it difficult for him to practice the flute, so he had become rather proficient with heating charms.

"How Hogwarts? I..." he paused to swallow nervously, recalling some things that Ariadne had told him. "...heard somethings happened..." He gently reached out to take one of her hands in both of his. "You vere safe?"

Still holding her hand, his hazel eyes followed her movements and smiled softly when she revealed a licorice wand. "I do," he nodded as he accepted it.

Vivian couldn't help but grin and maybe laugh a bit as Andrei told her more about what happened in Durmstrang, and most especially the multilingual thing. "Must have been a struggle," the blonde said, still beaming widely. Honestly, all she could do was smile. It helped that she was able to see Andrei today after a long time. Even the more reason to cherish each passing minute. "At least you managed, yeah? We both survived our first year!" She wiggled her fingers in delight. But there were still six more years of intellectual challenges to come. Meh. The Slytherin also built up a mental image of what Durmstrang would look like, too, basing on what the boy said. Cold, snowy, but beautiful. Sounded quite like Hogwarts during the winter, but perhaps twice the chilliness by then at that part of the hemisphere. She kept smiling, and was really glad he had kept safe while they were apart.

Oh, and yes... those events that happened. The thought of it kind of soured Vivian's mood, but she sighed and maintained her smile. "Yeah, some things did happen, unfortunately," she said. "But, on the happier note, I'm okay! I tried to stay away from those stuff as much as possible." Too much drama, in her opinion. Things she wouldn't want to get involved in. However, she was glad that the hag was gone now, and she stayed hopeful that she would be gone for good.

As Andrei took her hand in both of his, Vivian blinked. For a moment, she was her normal pale white skin colour... and then a shade of light pink the next second. Whatever reason it was, she wanted to cover her face, which was slightly starting to turn pinkish. Meep. And as he accepted the licorice wand too, Vivian's smile widened and the redness of her face? A little bit uncontrollable.

Gawsh, she was a tomato. A human tomato.

Trying to divert Andrei's attention away frim her face, she attempted to bring up another topic. "So... uh, anything as interesting as the hag in Hogwarts that happened in Durmstrang?"

Struggle wasn't precisely the word he would have used, but it wasn't inaccurate either. Challenge, perhaps a welcomed one, was more along his line of thinking. "We did," he smiled, somewhat nonchalantly wrapping an arm around her shoulders and giving them a gentle squeeze. "And you not lunch for a hag be best part of surviving." Because now, given what he already knew about Hogwarts on top of this term's more recent happenings now had him quite concerned overall. Worst part about being so attached to those attending other schools was that he was defenseless in protecting them. Not even Combat Club would be able to help with that.

That was a bit of a sobering thought. One that had him unsnaking his arm from her shoulders. But her hand was soon in his and he noticed the color of her cheeks, which elicited a smile of his own and reminded him of two blossoming roses.

"Vell," he said, taking bit off the tip of his licorice wand. "Had professor get eaten by dragon."

Normally, Vivian would be the most casual and carefree girl in the entire world. A simple holding of hands were totally just "who cares about that" and the 'arm over shoulders' thing, which was happening right now, was definitely normal for her. Never would anyone expect her to get punched in the stomach with such emotions. The blonde did not know what it was at all, but she liked having his arm around her quite a bit. She would've told Andrei to let it stay there but... nah, she was all about keeping low-key at the moment. However, she did manage a smile towards him.

Meh. The thought of the hag made Vivian's nose wrinkle. "That's... not really something I want to tell about. I could've been her meal but yes, I'm glad I wasn't, and that nobody was, for that matter," she said, and tried to brighten the mood. Her first year was... eventful.

And did Andrei ever know that he looked better when he smiled? Just a passing thought, but he ought to know soon.

Vivian was about to lose her low-key streak when Andrei took his arm away until... wait, what? The Slytherin stared at him for a moment and then blinked. "You have dragons in Durmstrang?" No fair! That would've been cool... but if Hogwarts actually banned Quidditch for being ridiculously dangerous itself, then why would they let a dragon inside its boundaries? "I'm also sorry to hear about this certain professor," Vivian said and squeezed his hand, then went over to lie her head on his shoulder. Emotional support buddy over here!

"At least you didn't become dragon toast," she whispered to him. That would've sounded funny to her, but she didn't mind that now. She was more grateful that Andrei was beside her for the meantime.

Ug.

Take a picture, it would last longer. Merlin.

"Are you going in or..." Just going to stay in her way?
Astrea hadn't noticed how long she'd been standing there. Possibly too long, or rather, DEFINITELY too long, because it seemed someone was annoyed at her blocking the entry.

Turning to face the girl, she smiled instantly. "I wanted to--but but but--is it all...older girls in there?" she asked. "I mean--I'm only twelve." She felt nervous. SoSOSOOososo nervous and this girl was also REALLY pretty, so Astrea's cheeks were turning red and she was looking at the ground, scuffing the dirt with her shoe, hands behind her back. "Am I gonna' be the only one not wearing makeup?" she whisper!asked.

Everybody had summer plans. Once, long ago, about three days ago, HE had plans. Music camp, Quidditch camp. ALL the cool camps. That wasn't the case now. His butt was groundead.

Sucked major furballs.

He shrugged at both Corbin and Ariadne. "Ah, y'know, the usual. Running away from the adults." Literally. A slow smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. "I'm grounded."

Ohhhh? Ariadne missed Quidditch? Why did she miss Quidditch? Did she not play it anymore? That was blasphemy. The only reason he wasn't playing was because his broom was locked away, and even if he could borrow a broom he wouldn't be able to because his dad was his coach. "Why do you miss Quidditch? Do you not play?" he asked curiously.

There were not clear ulterior motives to his gestures, none that the boy was aware of at least, and each movement just seemed to flow naturally from his limbs. It was one of the gifts that Vivian bestowed upon him, the feeling completely natural and comfortable. But it also was a bit confusing and nothing his uncle had said had shed any light on the situation. He did know that he liked the feel of being around her and he missed it greatly while he was at Durmstrang.

"Agree," he nodded, in relation to the hag, smiling a bit more when she rested her head on his shoulder after addressing his dragon news. "Our Care of Magical Creatures subject include dragon taming," he explained with a deceptively confident grin. "Professor likely get too confident vith creature and became sloppy." Hence why the man was eaten without anyone's knowledge until later. He had not heard about the fate of the dragon after that, but he was sincere in his hope that it had been left unharmed. "Only work vith small dragons for now. Perhaps third year we get teenagers."

It was admittedly one of his favorite courses despite the dangers and he was quite eager to begin working with those that could breathe fire properly. He had quite the fascination for the elements, particularly in reference to elemental magic.

"No toast yet," he added with a small boyish chuckle.

....................right.

"Why does it matter how old other people are?" she huffed, running her fingers through her raven hair and making sure that it caught the light just so. She was having an especially good hair day, you see. "Not like they could Imperio you and force you to leave." Although she supposed they COULD, but that would just be their downfall for stupidly using Dark magic in the middle of Diagon Alley.

Oh well. More product for her then.

"Not for long if you don't want to be. You're allowed to test their products." Probably. She had never bothered to ask.


But honestly...could she like...move now? It was taking a lot of effort to talk to her and it would be even MORE effort to walk around her.

Lying on a boy's shoulder was new to Vivian, but she rather found herself comfortable with where she was. She quietly wondered if Andrei felt the same or if it was weird to have a girl casually snuggling on his arm, something she'd done with that Hufflepuff boy when she was under the influence of a love potion. She knew that there was a difference, but it was such a fine line... whatever it was. However, sometimes Vivian didn't really have to overthink because Andrei would always assure her that everything was fine, just like what happened when she had stepped on this boy's foot when they first met. It was a trait that she liked about him, among many others she wouldn't admit to herself anyway.

Now to forget that hag incident. Vivian was really glad Andrei agreed as it wasn't the best highlight of her first year. Terrible, really. Letting their conversation clear her mind from such thing, Vivian gave her 100% attention to Andrei's words. "That's really cool! Do the baby dragons not breathe out fire?" Even the tiniest of burns hurt, the blonde would attest. She'd been baking with her mum this summer and, well, small accidents were bound to happen. "I know dragons can be adorable..." Just like him. "... but you be careful when handling them, okay?"

... No toast YET? Vivian immediately raised her head from Andrei's shoulder and nudged him at the side lightly. "Very funny," she said and stuck her tongue out at him. "Imagine being pen pals with toast." Was that even possible?

Now Ariadne had never actively pursued boys or swooned over them or that sort of thing, but she was starting to notice them lots more than she did when she was little kid (aka a firstie and second year). Hanging out with boys was sort of exciting in a way! She had to fight the urge to giggle, and it worked. No giggling here.

"Hey, Cornelius," she said, responding to his casual 'sup. "The usual. Hanging out...avoiding school shopping until waaaaay later. How's it going?" She wondered if it was just her, or if everybody was avoiding school like the plague. She looked over to Corbin to see what he had to say about that.

Music shopping? "Cool. What kind of music?" she replied. He looked like a rock band kind of guy, but she couldn't be sure. "Football tournaments sounds awesome. Makes me miss Quidditch." She was still bummed that everybody in her family got to play for the school team but her. She shrugged when he asked what they were doing in France. "Apparently it's some potions mission for my mom. She's a potions mistress, and she wants to personally visit this apothecary they have there. She can just apparate, but my dad wants to get away for a while." She shrugged again. "Who knows. It might be cool, and...maybe I'll meet some Beauxbatons kids there."

"What did you do?" Corbin turned to the other boy, wide eyed with laughter. It's was saying something that Corbin had never been grounded - or, rather, he had but the punishments just didn't really stick. It wasn't that Adam and Lorelai couldn't control their oldest children, it was that.... Well, maybe they were at a bit of a loss. Surely, though, Cornelius hadn't done anything too drastic, though? Maybe his parents were over reacting?

Turning the vinyl over, the Pink Floyd logo was displayed to Ariadne, and Corb shrugged a little. "But I'm into pretty much anything. Bar techno. Jazz, rock, classical, alternative..." As long as it was decently written, and didn't feature too much electronic lines, he was cool. And that went for both Muggle and Wizarding tunes. He let Cornelius take over on the Quidditch talk, though - it wasn't that he didn't like Quidditch: he loved going to watch matches, and had dabbled a little when he was younger, but it wasn't something he played enthusiastically, really.

"Should be a good holiday. And Beaux' kids are cool." Sachiko was his only example. Smirk.

Stuck inside with Sirius | *Splish-Splash* | bamBAM | ☁ Spooktacular ☁

Somehow, she'd lost Dora again, and despite her recent growth spurt, she was still too small to see much in the throng of people in the crowd. So there was only one thing for it - to go vertical.

Weaving and dodging, she headed to the nearest bench, and easily hopped up on to it. She perched on the arm for a moment or two, almost cat-like, before standing and looking up and down the street. No sign of her bestie.

Where had the Gryffindor got to?

Undeterred, Sam glanced along the street once more. It was oh so tempting to shimmy up the drainpipe behind her and run across the rooftops. She'd wait here for a few more minutes, in case Dora had headed into a shop before realising they'd been separated, but after that...well, she might have to go climbing for old time's sake.

U G H!

Dora loathed when there were so many people in the alley! It was so easy to get jostled and bumped and separated! She had been in conversation with Sam... talking away as per usual... and then she turned and the younger girl was GONE! A few moments of shouting for her proved fruitless... so she backtracked a bit.

U G G G G H!

Her feet already hurt a bit. SO this was just an annoyance now. Not Sam, just people and feet, and THE ALLEY!

But after a few moments she saw her friend pop up... above the other heads. HEHE. Typical. She was always climbing something. It did give Dora a direction to go in and it wasn't too long before she pushed through the peoples and BAM! Dora had ARRIVED!

"Good thing you climbed something. I wouldn't have found you otherwise," the blonde said with a little laugh. "Still want to go have lunch?"

She didn't spot her friend through the crowd until the Gryffindor was practically on the bench herself. She gave a roll of her eyes at the masses; "Now this...this I do NOT miss. That wizard woulda just walked straight inteh me, not a second glance." She shhok her head disapprovingly. "...but yeh know me, if in doubt, go up." She glanced wistfully at the rooftops for a moment, before hopping back down on to the cobbled street.

All that mattered was that they were reunited now, and Sam grinned at her friend, excitement shining bright in her eyes.. "Course I wanna go feh lunch. 'n' as I was tryna say, my treat. Won't take no feh 'n answer."

"I'm sure you don't. I know I don't like it much when I am here," she said with a sigh. Sometimes there were so many people milling about that it almost made Dora feel anxious... like she was closed it or something. Not that she told anyone that, though. Nope. No one needed to know all that.

Her attention went back to her friend when she spoke again, though. A slight frown of disapproval forming already. Dora didn't want to say yes... but she also didn't want to have a showdown here. Because they would argue about it and one or both would end up pouting all the way home... so it was with great reluctance that Dora finally nodded. "Fine. But only because I got you something," she said with a grin forming. Two somethings, actually. HA!

"S'much betteh up on the rooftops," she stated. "Quicker 'n' quieter teh. But not as easy teh go shoppin'." Talking of which... "Did yeh wanna pop in anywhere on the way?"

She saw that frown, and simply tucked her arm through her friend's. "S'me allowance, 'n' I wanna spend it on me bestie," she said. "N' if yeh don't like dat...jus' fink of it as bein' on yeh bruvver's sickle, since it's from doin' 'is extra chores last week." She'd gotten quite into doing the washing up, and Al seemed to like the deal they'd made.

...and then it was her turn to frown slightly. "Yeh didn't have to do that." Which was obvious, really. "But I look forward to seein' it." Dora really did buy the best presents.

"I'll take your word for it. Dad would kill me if he caught me on the rooftops. He worries too much anyway." It was true. He was far more protective of Dora than he was of Al... and with good reason, she supposed. Dora was the baby girl, after all. Hehe. That's not to say that he didn't care for and worry about Sam, though. Because he absolutely did, he just didn't pry or push where she was concerned.

Her brother's sickle? Pfft. He never did ANYTHING to earn money. Ever. He was lazy that way. And it bothered Dora not... because she used to get the money, and now Sam did. It was a win, no matter what. Hehe. "Alright, alright! Whatever. Lunch is on you, but I got you a new tie for school and a scarf, too." So there! She ruined the surprise and let her pick up the bill. HA!

She took pride in being P E T T Y sometimes. For real.

"So... got anymore summer plans?" Like holidays she might take that she is unaware of? HMMMM? Clicking her tongue in thought, she followed up with, "Because Spike and Addy want us to come round. Only if you want to though. If you have other stuff going on, don't worry."

"He would?" Sam was quiet a moment, wondering if the same applied to her. She'd spent a few nights out on the Umbridge house rooftop recently when she couldn't sleep, just looking out at the stars. It made her new home feel a little more familiar to where she grew up. Would Mr. Umbridge be super cross with her if he found out? "They're not so dangerous really," she said quietly. "Not when you know where the weak points are."

Whether Al had worked for the money or not didn't make much difference to Sam. She liked the fact that she could feel like she was doing something helpful, and not sure taking charity from Dora's family. She trusted her bestie when she said otherwise, but it still felt like the right thing to do. Just like treating the Gryffindor to lunch. Because Dora was so good to her, and Sam already had what she needed to get by. What good was having an allowance if she couldn't spend it on nice things for others too?

"Seriously? A new scarf and tie?" Sam stopped to hug her bestie. Her only scarf had got damaged whilst climbing in the grounds last year, and she'd been awfully disappointed when she'd realised. "You shouldn't have. But thank you, thank you!" Was it another Ravenclaw one? Or something else? Either way, she was super excited!

Dora's pettiness was completely lost on her right then.

...or they were, until the undertones of her next question were picked up. "Only to sort out me school stuff for next term," she replied, looking at her friend curiously. "No big plans though." It was almost apologetic. Had Dora been jealous of her trip with Astrea and Junia? "I'd love to see your Aunt and Uncle...if you'd like me to come with you, that is. Else I can just hang around at home and read or sumfink."

"You shouldn't have. But thank you, thank you!" Was it another Ravenclaw one? Or something else? Either way, she was super excited!

Dora's pettiness was completely lost on her right then.

...or they were, until the undertones of her next question were picked up. "Only to sort out me school stuff for next term," she replied, looking at her friend curiously. "No big plans though." It was almost apologetic. Had Dora been jealous of her trip with Astrea and Junia? "I'd love to see your Aunt and Uncle...if you'd like me to come with you, that is. Else I can just hang around at home and read or sumfink."
"Only because dad treats me like a baby still. It's no big deal." For her it wasn't. Sam could do as she pleased anytime. Dad cared about her, but he also didn't want her to be stifled at their house. Although, in time, he may become more strict with her as well. Heh. She doubted it, though. "I will take your word for that, too. I am just afraid the shopkeepers would get mad at me." Not TOO afraid that she wouldn't do it, but whatever.

Dora clearly didn't value money the way that Sam did... They had grown up so differently. Money had never been something the Umbridges had done without, ya know. Perhaps she would come to value it more when she grew up and had to earn it for herself? Who knew?

"Yes a tie and a scarf. I am glad you approve. I knew you needed a new scarf, and we can always use more than one tie, ya know," she said nonchalantly. It really DID mean a lot to her that Sam would accept them! It did indeed. Even if she had been petty and ruined the surprise. Ugh. She needed to reign in that attitude of hers sometimes. Can't stop, won't stop. It was a problem. She owned that.

"I was just curious is all." Lies. She was asking because she was indeed upset that Sam that had gone on holiday with someone else. Like... She expected Sam, HER bestie, to come with her to Bali. But... that was twice she had declined... but gone with someone else. Someone she was sure she hadn't known as long as she had known Dora... and that stung a bit. More than a bit, really. But Kennedys internalized and acted out... Just like she was currently displaying. Heh. "Of course you can come. Aunt Addy has some Potions stuff she wants us to do. And Uncle Spike and I have planted some seedlings and stuff. He mentioned having you round when I was there the other day." She hadn't told Sam she was going that day... mostly because she hadn't even been sure where she was... and because she had needed to talk to him alone. "Oh and you can do whatever you want, Sam. You don't have to sit around the house."

"He's jus' lookin' out feh yeh, s'all. Wish me Pa would do that." She should probably ration herself on rooftop visits though, just in case Mr Umbridge had a problem with it for the Ravenclaw too. "Some of 'em will, if yeh not careful. But this time of year? Nah, they're way too busy servin' customers to worreh 'bout a kid on the roof." And honestly, she didn't believe Dora was afraid of such things. Her bestie liked adventures, a bit of the unknown. She was the most Gryffindor person she knew! If Sam had to hazard guess, she'd opt for Dora trying to keep Sam on the ground and away from old memories.

Sam gave the Gryffindor another excited squeeze, before slipping her arm back through Dora's so they could continue walking. "Ravenclaw tie? Or did you get me a Gryffindor one?" Her eyes shone, either way. She'd basically only had one of anything since she'd started school, and she really appreciated her bestie's generosity to the point where Sam had run out of ways to say thank you. So instead, she just full on beamed.

Her face quickly fell though, as she sensed that the Gryffindor wasn't entirely telling the truth. "I'm all yours for the rest of the 'olidays," she confirmed. "If yeh want me. If yeh don't then yeh still stuck wiff me. Or, at least, yeh library is." She gave a crooked smile; she liked their reading space. It was cosy. "Like...helping her wiff actual potions?" Sam let out a little gasp. "That's so cool! And what did you get to plant wiff yeh Uncle? You'll 'av teh show me!"

"...'n' yeh didn't answer me question. Did yeh wanna go shoppin' anywhere on the way teh lunch?"

Sleater kicked his legs up on his backpack resting on the ground. Weird, but also comforting to be back in London, although it meant being farther from Robin and his mother. As per usual, the summers were not as hot as they were in Oregon and it really messed with his mind. However, an ice cream on a summer's day was never out of the question. Ice cream was never around on the base. Really sad.

The nineteen year-old took one long lick of his ice cream cone and then returned to doodling in his notepad.

Bells wasn't sure why she was back here. The girl hadn't stepped foot in Diagon Alley since her last term at Hogwarts; two years ago. It was funny how time had flied by so quickly and in a blink of an eye. But nonetheless, the green eyed girl felt nostalgic being back. For a moment she felt like the eleven year old girl who ran away from her parents in the crowded streets. Grounded is what she was when they got home that night. The first of many to come. Walking along, she smiled at some people who had recognized who she was. Bells was still getting used to being asked for photos or autographs when she walks in the streets sometimes.

Approaching a bench, she set her bag down on it and took out her compact mirror. Her curls kept getting in her hair and she'd decided to finally pin them back. But out of the corner of her eye, the person sitting on said bench caught her eye. Raising a brow, and curiosity getting the best of her, she tapped his shoulder lightly. "Sleater?"
