Talia had arranged to meet Charles in Diagon Alley, and then apparated them both in three steps until they arrived in the alley next to the pub in Godric's hollow. Paranoid? Maybe, but Kai had taught her to be cautious when it matters, and this mattered.

"Okay, here we are, Charles. Do you need a minute?“ Apparating three times in quick succession wasn't for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach after all. She steadied the older man, her husband's long-time mentor, and smiled at him affectionately, though her usually warm and gentle blue eyes were serious and there was a tension in her bearing that was unusual for her.

"Its a pity we couldn't floo." She added. "There's the back door, we can go in the pub that way." It lead to the same corridor as where the pub bathrooms were. They could go through and get a table from there.
