It wasn't as if he hadn't been here before; visits to the village never usually went amiss by the boy. Except... it was COLD. And he couldn't help but think of the hot chocolate he could have been sipping back in the common room. Hot chocolate... complete with whipped cream and extra marshmallows.
... This settled it. He had to go and get himself some hot cocoa. Which meant... yes! PERFECT.
The Hufflepuff hurried along towards the door of the Three Broomsticks before heading inside. The immediate rush of warmth was comforting; so much so, that Alec took off his beanie and ruffled his hair into place. That was probably another reason as to why he should have stayed at the castle. Beanies were comfortable but they did tend to--
... BLINK. There was only one person here? Confused, the boy took a couple of steps forward and looked around, as if expecting more people to pop out from underneath tables or around the side of the bar. But... it was more or less empty. Apart from stranger over there. He shrugged before taking off his coat and hanging it up by the door, along with his beanie. He turned back to look over at the stranger... and then at the tables. There was something great about the emptiness: choice of seats! He headed over towards an empty table and sat down as quietly as possible. There.
... More people were coming, right?
After stocking up on her shampoo and conditioner at the salon,
Ella decided to take a stroll along the street and window shop. This decision would have been a more perfect one if it weren't for the bitter cold.
BRRRR. The blonde found that after passing one or two more places, her fingers were like icicles and she couldn't stand it any longer. She really should have brought her elephant
mitts mittens that Wade had knit for her. Bad life choices, Ella Bishop. Sheesh.
Spotting The Three Broomsticks ahead, the seventeen year old hurried towards it. Surely she could warm up in there, yeah? ...Yeah.
...
So...it was pretty dead in here. Ella was surprised too because normally the place was filled with students but perhaps the cold had kept them away. Merlin knew she was longing for the warmth of the Hufflepuff fire place right now. Her gaze fell on what she thought was the lone customer in the place and she smiled faintly, not wanting to interrupt him if he wasn't up for a chat. And she'd need to find a seat which wouldn't be too ha-
BEAM.
Boyfriend was here! Hi boyfriend. The blonde's face lit up immediately and she smiled, thinking it funny that they'd both ended up at the same place. She quietly made her way over and took the seat across from him, shrugging off her coat when she got settled.
"Fancy meeting you here." Grin.
