Nate was getting warm so he took off his sweater and was now sitting in jeans and a t-shirt. He was so glad that he didn't have a "farmers tan". "I only know about them because my sister lives in the States and I'm very into the US culture.Skateboarding is wicked. Really fun." he said messing with his hair. "I do a lot of muggle things." he said looking at her.

Xehanna walked up to the counter. "Hi can i have a grande hot butterbeer, a lemon square and do you make white chocoalte mochas here?" she asked really hoping for one. she started to dig in her purse for galleons, sickles, or knuts.

Still clutching the end of her hair in one hand and staring dismally at it, Punz rushed out of Gladrag's and into the shop next door. She couldn't stay in the street cos it was too cold and too obvious for Denton to find her.

Punz stopped just inside the door and checked the street; no pursuit so far. She sighed and shook her head, then turned to see where she had ended up.

Madame Puddifoot's?! Seriously, could my luck get any worse? Rapunzel winced but slipped into the first booth she saw, just for a moment. She could pull out her brush here and inspect the damage more closely. And besides, Dom would never come in here. Heh heh heeee.

Cale shivered as he walked into the small, crowded tea shop that was Madame Puddifoot's, holding the door open for his girlfriend Anna. "It's sooo cold out lately!" he muttered as he rubbed his hands together. The Holyhead Harpies scarf that Anna had given him for his birthday was wrapped around his neck, as it always was in cold weather, and it was so cold today he had to wrap it over his mouth and cheeks to keep them warm.

"So, let's find a seat," he said with a grin, pulling his Gryffindor hat off of his head and running his hand through his curls to avoid hat hair. "I'm really in the mood for some crumpets today."

Anna hurried alongside Cale in the direction of Madame Puddifoot's. It was freezing, and she was in a hurry to get inside. She only stopped walking long enough to pull her scarf up higher, so that most of her face was now covered by the warm wool. She wrapped her coat tighter around her body and began walking in. "Thanks," Anna mumbled, her voice muffled by her thick scarf. She pulled her head away from her scarf long enough to smile at Cale for opening the door for her, and then she hurried inside.

Anna nodded and stopped to shed some of her winter assessories. As soon as the hat and gloves were pulled off and stuffed down into her pockets, she followed Cale further into the room. "Crumpets sound good," Anna replied. "I think I want cheesecake, though...and coffee. Coffee with lots of cream and sugar."

"Ehh, I'm more of a butterbeer guy," Cale said with a chuckle as he headed over to small table with a pink tablecloth and held the chair out for her. "Although something warm would really warm me up...I wish they had some hot cocoa or something," he muttered, scanning the menu.

"So, what's new with you? That herbology class was BRUTUAL wasn't it?" he asked with a grin. He knew that she struggled in that class just as much he did.

"So am I, but my mother and father got me started on coffee when I was little. Mom's an addict, I think. I think I slowly might become one, too, though," Anna explained. She followed Cale over to a table set up with a pretty pink tablecloth. "Thanks again," she said, sitting down in the chair he pulled out for her. She had to be one of the luckiest girls in the entire world to have Cale Newell as a boyfriend. I mean, what other boyfriend is as sweet as Cale? Even if he did get a little moody every now and then. Maybe she should tell him what she'd just thought about. It would make his ego soar up to the highest level, but Anna didn't care. He's her boyfriend after all. If it made him happy, it made her happy.

"Cale," Anna started. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm luckiest girl in the whole world simply because I have you as a boyfriend. I just also wanted to say thank you." She smiled at him, blushed a little, and then moved on to talking about Herbology. "It was brutal, which is the exact reason I skipped yesterday's class. I don't know if you noticed or not, but I never showed up." Anna giggled a little and then turned to look at the menu again. "Okay, if they have hot chocolate, I'm getting that. If not, it's coffee and cheesecake."

Cale blushed and played with the hem of the tablecloth. Even though he knew everything she was saying was true--well, DUH, it was Cale Newell after all, he hardly did anything wrong--but it still made him feel a bit modest when she talked about how perfect he was, cause he knew, deep down past that ego, that he wasn't near perfect at all. He had a temper, he obviously had some ego problems and he had a few drama queen issues. "I'm the luckiest wizard in the world to have a girlfriend like you," he told her, feeling his cheeks heat up. Add that to the list too--overactive blushing glands. "If you had seriously told me two years ago that I'd end up dating my cousin's best friend, I'd tell you you were crazy," he joked with a grin.

"I earned a grand total of 3 points," Cale said with a small laugh. "And then I got lost again. Everything just went whoosh," he muttered, taking his hand and throwing it over his curly head. "I have to seriously sit down and study some more if I'm gonna have any chance at passing the final."

He glanced back down at the menu when the topic of hot chocolate came up. "I don't think they have it," he muttered with a sigh. "I don't see it on here--maybe I will get some coffee. With extra sugar and creme." he said. And when he said sugar, he meant like 3 teaspoons. Coffee without any type of sugar was just bleh.

Anna watched as Cale played with the hem of the tablecloth. He was so adorable when he got a little on the shy side from being commented on. Anna actually found it amusing that someone with such a big ego could get so easily embarrassed like that. Anna smirked and then looked at Cale with a shifty little expression when he said he was the luckiest wizard in the world to have a girlfriend like her. "Hmm...I know!" Anna said, deciding to be playful with her answer. "Just kidding, of course. Thank you for saying that. I feel lucky that after everything we've been through, we're still together. I hope it stays that way---no matter what." Anna smiled at Cale's blushing face. "Let's see...two years ago I was a third year. The only boys in Gryffindor back then were Chris Kaplan and Jason Weasley. Or, those were the only two boys I really ever saw. I guess I really didn't get out that much when I was younger. Emma and I just kept to ourselves a lot for some reason. Still, if you would have told me that by my fifth year at Hogwarts I would love someone like this, I would have definitely thought you were crazy. I always thought I was too young to understand it. It's all crystal clear, though."

"At least you earned three points," Anna commented. "I'm not even sure I would have been able to do that. I'm not even sure of my grade in that class. For all I know, I could be failing. I doubt it, though. I've done okay so far...I guess. We can study together when we get back to the Common Room. You have to catch me up on that class I ditched. Speaking of which, my parents would kill me if they knew I did that."

"Coffee it is then. Coffee with six teaspoons of sugar," Anna said, knowing that she would probably blow Cale's mind with the amount of sugar she required. "Oh, and creme is a must. I like my coffee to turn a tan color from all the added creme. Black coffee is just disgusting."

Ella stepped inside the nearby shop, she didnt even look at the name board. It was freezing cold outside, her hands tucked inside her furry overcoat's pockets and she was fully covered with gears, still she felt cold. "mhmm.." she muttered under her breath, looked out of the window, thinking of Cello. Where you man? I'm all alone here..she mumbled.

Xehanna walked into the cafe and sat in a chair. she sat down in a chair and ordered a ice cream sundae. she waited for it come, and when it did she scooped up some ice cream and whip cream and shoved it her mouth. it tasted so sweet it reminded her o Logan. she missed him too much. note to self: write logan she said to herself. she put 1 galleon and 3 sickles on the table and kept eating.

Chanceller smiled as he whistled and walked down the high street. It was freezing cold, but he prefered that to the heat of summer. He hated sticky heat, and would rather wear three or four layers to stay cool any day of the year. Maybe I should move to Iceland, or Norway? he pondered.

Shaking his head, he laughed and moved into Puddifoot's to meet his lovely Ella. He smiled as he walked through the door and joined his bombshell at the table on the right of the door. He winked at her and blew her a kiss. "I'll go order, what do you want?"

Ella's eyes twinkled at the sight of her man. A wide smile spreaded across her face. She winked back and her right hand reached to take something from the air as if she was taking his flying kiss in her hand. She chuckled, "Anything you like.." she said, and blew a kiss to him, in return. Man..he has this magic effect always on me..she thought, smiled.

"Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot you used to be a little nerd," Cale joked, playfully grinning and her and punching her in the arm. He regretted it a second later--what if she hit back? Gah, stupid Cale! Anna's punches, even when playful, always left a bruise.

"Don't worry, I won't tell them, as long as you don't tell my mum I skipped Potions class," he added with a chuckle, pushing a curl out of his eye as he looked down at the menu again. "You're right, black coffee is nastyyy. I actually kind of like all that sweet stuff the muggles drink too, those coffees that no one can ever pronounce. Like the Dulche de Leche Grande Tripe Shot Frappamochaespresslatte and stuff like that."

Just then, he dropped the menu and gasped. "Ohmigosh, I almost forgot!" he exclaimed, reaching into his coat pocket and pulling out a small little box. "I bought you something...you know, for our anniversary and stuff," he said with a soft small as he pushed it across the table for her.

"CALE!" Anna exclaimed, a little louder than she meant to. "I was not a little nerd, thank you very much! I was just a little on the quiet side. I guess you could just say that I was waiting on my Prince Charming to come along, and he was just a little late...showing up my fourth year and all. Imagine if I wouldn't have been 'a little nerd' like you said. What if I would have been really outgoing and already with some other boy by the time you showed up? Hmmm?" She smirked at him, balled up her fist, and hit him hard on the arm. "I'm just kidding with you. I know you were only joking. I didn't hurt you just now, did I?"

"You know, for prefects, we're getting pretty good at skipping classes," Anna joked. "You like...what? I have no idea what you just said, Cale. I've never really had anything but just regular coffee loaded with sugar and creme. You'll have to let me taste some of your mocha-frappa-whatever one day."

Anna jumped a little when Cale suddenly yelled out. "What? What did you almost forget?" she asked, watching as he pulled a small box from his pockets. "Really? Thanks, Cale! I have you something, too. I'll open mine first since you've already handed it to me." Anna slowly and carefully opened up the box, pulling out a bracelet with a little frog charm on it. Anna smiled and looked up at Cale with an amazed expression. "...because I like chocolate frogs so much!" she remarked. "Nico almost ruined that for me, but having this bracelet brings back my love for them! Here, put it on me! Oh, and before I forget, I got you something, too," she said, sliding a box over in his direction. "Happy First Anniversary, Cale Markus."

"What? I think nerdy girls are cute," Cale said with a grin, kissing her on the cheek as he watched her open her present. "Do you like it? I tried to think of something meanful and that's what I could come up with...I hope you don't think I'm calling you fat or anything, cause you're not, you're the perfect size...I mean...nevermind," he finished with a sigh. Once again he had managed to stick his foot in his mouth.

He looked up at her and smiled again as he gave him a small little gift as well. He hoped she hadn't gotten him another necklace...one was enough, thank you very much. "Thanks Anna," he told her with a grin, opening the small box and chuckling to himself when he saw what it was. "Ohmigosh, I love it!" he said as he picked up the small ring that was inside. It was just big enough for him to fit on his pinky, and when he examined it closer he saw that it said "I love you" in German. "And you got it engraved in German! I can't believe you remembered I can speak that," he said as he blushed.

He couldn't really say what drew him to the tea shop. He guessed it was the quiet aspect. The Three Broomsticks had more going on in there than he wanted to deal with right now.

He hiked his Dora book bag up his shoulders and walked into the shop. He looked around and found a empty seat near the back away from the door and the frosty air. He pulled himself up into the chair and settled himself in for a nice warm relaxing stay. He pulled out his map so he could add more of Hogsmeads to it. He was proud of the work that he had done on it so far. He might even been done with the map to take back home to show his mommy. She would be so proud of his map and that gave him a snuggly fuzzy feeling all over from the top of his curly black hair to the sole of his tiny brown feet.

His legs were swinging and he was sucking his chocolate milk through a crazy straw and just looking around and taking in the shop in between drawing in more of his map.
