Courtyard Seating Image Credit: Ameh If sitting inside just isn't your thing, Floreans offers you an alternative option to wandering the streets of Diagon with your tasty confection. Outside of the shop doors, in a small, well-kept courtyard out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the rest of Diagon Alley, there can be found small, colourful tables with a handful of equally colourful chairs scattered about. While our ice cream is charmed to be slow-melting, our customers, we assume, are not, and thus each table is equipped with an umbrella that can be opened or closed at your discretion. These tables, like the ones inside, can be pushed together or pulled apart to accommodate any size party, but please do take care to think of others who might be sitting around you! |
Anyone and everyone!!! The more the merrier <3 Josephina had her work cut out for her in the coming months. It wasn't as if she wasn't "known", but rather that she'd been out of public eye for some time as she raised her son and kept abrept on the news. But now that Septimus was in public muggle school in the mornings and a supplemental wizarding program for an hour after school, the former Hogwarts professor found herself with time and desire to make change. She knew she was an educator, so going from that to government might be a stretch but she was determined to give this a real shot. She knew she could be a great leader, but she just had to prove to the public that she was the best ... First things first - she needed to finalize a list of contacts as well as a list of places to go and talk to, in terms of outreach. In terms of finding out what the public wanted and what she needed to best appeal to the masses. Ice cream go the side, Josephina took a spoonful and set to writing ... |
*snags* Milton was rarely in London. So rarely that when he did visit, he insisted on going to Diagon if only to experience Florean's ice cream. His partner was at Hogwarts and would be for a few more months. Maybe he'd pop in to Hogsmeade and tell Pauly-boy to meet him out there. He missed his white-haired man, okay? He got his ice cream. Something simple, he didn't even really know what the person had given him. He had said, 'surprise me,' and thus far, he wished he would have picked on his own. Because the flavor he was licking at tasted like a dog's foot after bath time. AKA, gross. And then he remembered how much he hated being inside on nice days like today, so he stepped into the courtyard and squinted around, taking in the fresh air. The grapes were thriving back at home, at the Myers-Willingston Vineyard. Yeah, he thought he'd make his way over to Hogsmeade at some point. Sounded good. He saw the woman nearby and gave her a quick wave before licking his ice cream with extreme concentration. Seriously, WAS this wet-dog-foot flavored? |
Quote:
Setting down her quill she waved back, deciding to not worry about stalkers. She was a Hufflepuff to the core, which meant friendliness for one. And loyalty. Not bravery, but she needed to brave now in approaching strange men... Because they might be her key to success. "Hi there... Do you have a moment for me to ask you some questions?" because they didn't really know one another and nonjudgmental feedback was key, as well. |
Quote:
However, the woman seemed nice enough. In fact, she looked downright familiar. Before answering, Milton visibly looked her up and down. "Did you go to Hogwarts?" he asked simply. "Because your face--" he gestured at it, "Looks quite familiar." And then back to licking his ice cream. "And what kind of questions? I didn't come here to think. I came to relax...eat ice cream...." he sighed. He was being a little rude, he knew it. To make up for it, he smiled. His shiny whites beaming over at her. Whoever this....lady was. |
Hadleeeeyyy & Miltoooon! <3 Married life couldn't have suited him better. Jory was happier than he had ever been; being with Gwen had done that. He was missing her right now but he knew that she was most likely busy patching up someone at St Mungo's so he resisted the urge to Disapparte off to see her. Instead, he stepped into Florean's to get some ice cream to take home for her. Ice cream vanished from his mind though because he had just spotted Josephina Hadley. Well, she would always be Hadley to him though Jory knew very well she was married. He had some idea what she was doing there and finally pleased at having the chance to talk to her, he headed in her direction. "Professor Hadley. How are you?'' Um... old habits die hard? The Auror was still used to calling her 'Professor'. "Hello,'' he added politely to her other company. |
Both of you :D Ah well of course he would answer a question with a question... Asking if she went to Hogwarts? "I did... Graduated almost three decades ago now, Josephina Hadley, though it's Nairne now" and if that didn't make her feel old when she said it like that then what would? And yes she needed to add her name because getting her name out there was crucial to success. "Hufflepuff.... And you were?" Because she presumed he also went to Hogwarts or why would he ask, so knowing his house was the next logical question! "Don't worry, they're not hard questions... Hopefully." But before she could begin interrogation, she heard a name she hadn't heard in years. Professor Hadley. Glancing up, the brunette beamed at sight of one Hufflepuff she'd never forget (okay, that was a lie cause she didn't forget any of her babies). "Jory Stonewall! Wow! How you been?" Yes she realized she hadn't answered his question, but ugh, professors wanting to make sure their students were successful when they left her presence was like one of her biggest pride moments. "I've been good... I was just about to ask ... This gentleman here some questions, but you could help too." Now addressing them both, "so in case you haven't read yet, I doubt there had been images of us printed yet, but I'm a candidate for Minister of Magic, and I'm trying to decipher what is the general people want for their world." Josephina Hadley-Nairne. The people's candidate. She could see it now. |
This was quickly turning into something Milton didn't feel like dealing with. "Yeah, I don't remember the name but....I graduated around there too. Slytherin," he added quickly, because he wouldn't be mistaken here; he was no Hufflepuff. No wonder he didn't know her name, pfft. Milton was pretty housist. And it killed him that Paul was slowly morphing into a Hufflepuff over the years, even if the man had been a Ravenclaw back at school. Oh look, company. -___- Professor? had the woman taught somewhere? Hogwarts? Milton didn't feel like asking; he just licked his ice cream and waited for her...so called questions. Oh Merlin. It was a pitch. She was running for Minister, and she wanted their votes. That's all Milton got from this: a pitch for votes. But he cleared his throat "There are many things I want for our world..." he started, almost giving a very sarcastic answer here. "Too many poor witches and wizards in the world who can't afford good wands, good education. Leads to ignorance and foul-magic," he said softly. "Prejudice is still alive, I must add, as well." His parents and muggle-borns...did not mix well. "But you won't get the old vote if you openly say anything too crazy. So." That was something to think about as well. The young man had given Milton a 'hello," which Milton had ignored until now. "I'm Milton Willingston, by the way," for both the kid and for Josephina. |
Hadleeeeyyy & Miltoooon! <3 Jory just smiled broadly. He knew Hadley would never for get him. Instinct told him that she was not one to forget her students. Could he hug her? He figured even a quick one might be inappropriate at present. He realised right now that he looked up to her as much as he did while he had been her student. "I've been good. What about yourself?'' When she spoke of the other man there in her company, Jory looked back at him. He barely registered that his greeting was ignored briefly. The Auror cared more about seeing his Professor again. "Hi, Mr Willinston. Jory Stonewall. "I'd love to help you in anyway I can, Professor.'' He had heard all about her running for Minister and couldn't think of a more worthier candidate. "I would want more equality in the way of the rich and poor,'' he said, looking at Milton and agreeing with a nod. "If we can get down to the nitty gritty Economics of the wizarding world and see what causes the income gap, lots of wizarding families will be better off.'' |
Ah Slytherin. Well that would explain why Josephina didn't really recognize the name, although he did look vaguely familiar. She hadn't known all too many Slytherins while at school. Ravenclaws, yes. Gryffindors, yes. Of course Hufflepuffs, but that was about it. Instead of taking notes, Josephina just listened as this Milton guy went off on what he wanted. She didn't need to take notes; she was here to listen to those she knew and didn't know. Years of research and education taught her the importance of listening before speaking, which was exactly what she was doing. Money, alright. That was a big one. And when Jory basically said something similar, Josephina sensed that something was definitely awry in terms of inequality among finances. Once she heard him out as well, she spoke up. "Ah yes, money. Equality and fair opportunity. That all makes good sense and worthy of putting in effort to improve the situation. I'd definitely like to work more closely in terms of increasing opportunities for our young people to get more hands-on work experiences in various fields." Now to address Jory's more personal question. "I've been well, thank you, Jory." And to Milton, "Nice to meet you, Mr Milton Willingston. Can I ask what you two do for a living? Do you find yourselves able to make ends meet?" She was just curious as to the socioeconomic status of her company. Just since they both mentioned finances, she figured it'd be nice to know where they fell on the spectrum. She was pretty sure that Jory was in the training program for auror as she recalled writing him his recommendation letter for that; though little did she realize he'd already graduated from the training program. |
Lissy It had been a few hours since their more of a snack lunch at the Leaky and Callie had successfully talked Xiomara into checking out a shop or two on her own. Now it was time for the blonde to take a rest and get some ice cream. She walked into the familiar parlor and ordered a cup of treacle fudge and made her way to sit outside so she could be visible to her daughter should she come walking by. |
Assuming they know each other because of Divination stuff xD Quote:
First stop - ice cream! It was treat yo'self day. Which was pretty much every day for Nolan on his lunch break, since Ginger had been on this whole healthy food kick for like...a YEAR now. As he took a spoonful of his chocolate frog ice cream, he scanned the outdoor seating to see if there was a table where he could sit and read over his latest manuscript - and then did a double take when he noticed a blonde woman sitting nearby. Was that...yeah, it was! "Callie?! Fancy seeing you here!" he called out with a grin as he approached the table. Very rarely did he ever find fellow Divination people around - and when he did it was VERY EXCITING. |
We see you (now) Jess/Fina Quote:
What she didn't expect to see was a former colleague, an Arithmancy guru at that. She really wanted to go over and say hello but Fina was busy with two other people at the moment. She'd wait until they left or catch her as she left and plan another time to meet up. The blonde settled for a grin and a wave in her direction for now. Just as she had lowered her hand and had returned to picking pieces of treacle away from the ice cream with her spoon, a man had approached and called her by name. She looked up, sucked the rest of the bite she'd harvested from the spoon and broke into a wide grin. "Nolan Reynolds. Well I didn't know this place was just for those running for Minister of Magic." She teased him as she stood up for a hug. |
Kath <3 It was funny how used to a place you could get in such a short space of time. Like Diagon Alley; she never used to come here, except on the odd occasions her father had business at the bank when she was allowed to visit him but now...now it was like.....where ice-cream was and candy and toys and books and absolutely EVERYTHING the 11 year old needed to get herself as acquainted as possible with magic before she took the big leap. Hogwarts was three months away. By now it was so close she could almost feel the cold cobbled floors Lexa told her about. Even better, she could almost SEE the magic before her. Jessa sat outside, happy enough to observe everything around her in this magical place while her father went to...to...uh....she would have to ask him the name of the bank when he got back. For now, she had a double scoop of strawberry ice-cream to tide her over and her feet kicking restlessly under the table. No matter how many times she saw it all, everything looked so fascinating--like the umbrellas just down the street that she could see changing every few minutes. |
Quote:
It couldn't hurt, right? Stepping out into the courtyard with his double scoop chocolate bowl in hand - banana pudding and chocolate chip cookie dough, for the record - he looked around for a vacant table when he instead spotted a familiar face. "JESSA! JEEEEEEEEESSAAAAAAAAA!" he called with a wild wave of his non-ice cream bearing hand. WAS MISS ALEXA HERE TOO?! |
SPOILER!!: This presh one She hadn't seen Derf enter the courtyard, mostly because the girl was almost out of her seat, craning her neck to get a better look at the woman who had this magnificent bird in a relatively large cage. She was fascinated by the way its mouth opened but no noises ever came out. The second time it did however, there came a very LOUD Jessa that had the girls eyes widening immensely. It knew her name! But...but how? Was it magic? Could magic do that? What an amazing thing! It took a few seconds for logic to sink in and her to realize the voice was coming from another direction completely and it was calling again. Jessa flopped into her seat once more, turning to get a loo--DERF! IT WAS DERF! DERF WAS IN DIAGON ALLEY WHILE SHE WAS HERE AND SHE COULD HAVE ICE-CREAM WITH HER MAGIC FRIEND. "Derf, c'mere quick!?' The little girl insisted rather enthusiastically before leaning out of her seat once more. "You have to see this! It's sooo pretty!" If only she knew what it was. |
SPOILER!!: THE ORIGINAL BESTIE He certainly did not need to be invited twice, especially since he had been looking for a seat anyway and sitting with a friend while having ice cream was a win-win no matter how you looked at it. Which is why he eagerly bounded over to his friend and flopped into the seat beside her with a grin on his face. "Scamander i-s-s-s here too," he announced as he pulled the warty newt from his pocket and let him crawl on to the table. "But he does-s-sn't like ice cream much." Or maybe he would have if he had elected to buy one of the savory options of ice cream...but he had a BONE to pick with the shopkeeper later about the DRAGON BLOOD ice cream. Only he wasn't going to think about that NOW because it would make him nauseous and he wouldn't be able to enjoy his ice cream. At least not for long as it would come right back up pretty quickly. "What are we looking at?" he asked, peering over Jessa's shoulder. Where was the pretty? WAS IT MISS ALEXA?! |
SPOILER!!: SO GOOD YOU REMEMBER! Alas, despite the boy's warning of the less than.........appreciated newt, the girl was still none the wiser. All her attention was on the magnificent bird locked in its cage that didn't seem to make sounds. It was rather curious. Sure enough, if she HAD heard, Derfael and HAD seen Scamander, she might have unceremoniously fallen backwards and made a mad crawl for dear life. Nothing yet. Still unseen. "We're looking at thaaaat!" She enthused, pointing to what had unshakably held her attention for the last few minutes. "Have you ever seen one like it before? What'd you think it is?" Her father had loads and loads of magical books in his study that she tried reading but she hadn't gotten around to all of them. Consequently, there was still much she did not know. "One of those would look so nice in my room and maybe if I train it like Lexa trained Felix, it won't fly away when it's outside its cage and I can fly around with it." With the broom her sister got her for her birthday. HAD SHE SHOWN IT TO DERF YET???? |
SPOILER!!: DUH Checking to make sure his elbow wouldn't squish nor knock Scamanber off the table, Derf leaned forward a bit more and propped himself up so his eyes could adjust and scan to whatever it was Jessa was pointing to. In all honesty...nothing was especially standing out to him. There was no Miss Alexa. No famous quidditch player. No basilisk... Oh? OH! "You mean fat fwooper over fere?" he boasted with a grin, already pleased as peach that he had been able to identify a creature in the wild. "Fere magical African bird. Fey may look fancy, but feir s-s-song can make a pers-s-son go ins-s-sane. Fey all have to have a S-S-Silencing Charm on them and you need a s-s-special paper fingy singed by the Ministry to own one. You can have a fwooper feafer quill fough. Fose are safe." And also pretty. But he personally had his eye on a phoenix feather quill because who WOULDN'T want one of those?! "S-S-Speaking of Mis-s-s-ss Alexa..." he trailed off while giving the courtyard another look over. "S-S-She here wif you?" And nope. No broom showing had been done yet! |
SPOILER!!: *BEAMS* ....Fwooper? Was that what it was...? Jessa continued staring, absolutely mesmerized by the brightly coloured creature. It was lovely, even if what Derf was saying was true and it'd never really be able to sing for her. Looking at it was just as nice. "How do I get a paper thingy?" She asked, not daring to take her eyes off it, in case it disappeared into the crowded street. "And how will I get a silencing charm on it? Are those hard? D'you think I could learn at Hogwarts and keep it there?" All the questions ever from this 11 year old. "Maybe I'll ask Daddy to get me one of those quills. We're gonna be school shopping soon." AND SHE WAS SO UNBELIEVABLY EXCITED!! Especially to be getting a wand! Eeep! Oh? Lexa? The blonde spared him a look--a risk truly, in case she lost the...the...f...woo..per... "Nah, she has work today I think. Either that or she's half way across the world." It was hard to tell anymore until Lexa got home and she asked. |
SPOILER!!: ^________^ The blonde boy couldn't help but puff out his chest proudly when Jessa continued to ask questions. Questions that he could answer and answer with complete confidence! It was an entirely different matter when mum tried to get him to help her in the garden. Except for when they were talking about dung. He knew all about dung. Dung and all sorts of secretions! "From the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creature-s-s-s," he nodded. "Bet I could get my dad to help speed up the proces-s-s s-s-seeing as he is a Department Head." He would ask when he got home. "Fey all come with a S-S-Silencing Charm on fem. Oferwis-s-se fey would drive everyone mad in pet s-s-shops-s." He considered magic for a moment and, never having performed any of it himself...he couldn't come to a proper conclusion. "Not s-s-sure," he admitted. "Dad's department deals wif s-s-spells that make trouble...but you're wicked s-s-smart. Bet you could manage eas-s-sily." Derf couldn't help but sigh. HE wanted to go to Hogwarts NOW and having to wait an entire year longer was way too long. But at the same time...he was scared to go to Hogwarts...because of an ancient artifact that he would wear on his head. "I'm aiming for a phoenix quill," he chirped to distract himself. "Oh," he said, face a bit crestfallen at this. |
Oliver was standing in front of the ice cream shop, he was wondering if he should get a ice cream cone before he goes home after a busy day at the ministry. |
SPOILER!!: Oliver So apparently throwing a massive tantrum after being assigned as an understudy, was frowned upon. So here Gen was, looking her damn best, at an ice-cream shop, trying to drown out the sorrow of being fired from the play in a pint of super-fattening, sugared and processed baby-cow food. She still couldn't understand how they had turned down HER in favour of some acne-faced amateur. Clearly that casting-agent was an absolute idiot and Gen was obviously too good for that stupid role anyways. Humph. Waltzing towards the afore-mentioned Florean's, Gen spotted something that looked insanely good, and it wasn't ice-cream at all. Well hello there, handsome man. . . |
Oliver decided that a butter beer ice cream would be nice right now when he notices a girl staring at him. She looks like she needs cheering up, maybe he should buy her a ice cream so he walks towards her and says " hey, you look like you need some company!" |
Noelle had a date. An icecream date. A friend ice cream date. Noelle was meeting the energetic Liv, but wasnt quite sure where. So she headed for the courtyard and grabbed a table out there. She was old enough now that her mum didnt accompany her to DA. Though, it did take some time to convince her mum to let her go alone since.... her second year. But, with the help of her father, and a screaming little sister, Noelle was free to go to DA by herself. With.... agreements though. Licking her chocolate frog ice cream, Noelle kept an eye out for Liv. She would be here soon wouldnt she? |
For Oliver! After a long and hot day of shopping, this soon to be sixth year slytherin needed some relief and fast. He was desperate to find anything. He looked left and right and saw a ice cream parlor. He sighed in relief and walked on over. He decided he wanted a booth because he needed to relax his feet. This guy thought wearing flip flops was a great idea for Diagon Alley. Nah not really with all the cobblestones and continuous walking. He plopped his feet up and looked at the menu and decided on what he wanted. Man there was so many choices. What to choose? |
Quote:
He kinda recognized the older kid. He was a Slytherin too, right? "So many choices.." He said and grinned. Someone too many choices could be bad and other times it was wonderful. This time it was wonderful. |
Quote:
|
Sazzles! It was a hot afternoon and on days like this there was nothing better than some ice cream. Okay, maybe swimming topped that, but ice cream came second. A cone of vanilla ice cream in hand, Esme made her way over to the courtyard so that she could get a seat and maybe do some people watching. She had wanted to eat inside because of the heat but all the booths were taken. Oh well, at least there were umbrellas. Careful not to upset her ice cream, she set the one at her table up so that she would get some nice shade. Much better. |
Quote:
|
SPOILER!!: Wow I suck >__< For all her looking and admiring, the fwooper and its master finally did disappear; down the cobbled streets and through some wall that was a proper wall before they'd approached. She stared after it longingly but make no mistake, she was hearing every word that came from her friend's mouth. How could she forget Mr. Aron was in charge down in the Ministry?? "You think he would?? I'd love that! I could maybe get Daddy to get one on our next visit, 'cause he's at the bank right now and you need to go tell your Dad but just think how amazing it'll be! You can come over all the time and we can look at it and make it learn tricks! Ooooh, this is soooooo exciting!" Almost as exciting as when she would be getting her wand! Her cheeks reddened at his compliment and another gaze was spared toward him. "You think so? I've been reading everything I can get my hands on. I just hope it'll be enough for when the real magic comes around." When it was clear the bird would not be making a grand reappearance, the little girl finally flopped back into her seat. Just as taken by the idea of a phoenix feathered qu-- "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" The shrillest shriek in life. Jessa hopped up from the table immediately, forsaking her bowl of ice-cream and her friend where he sat. Any disappointment at not being able to see Lexa went right over her head as the 11 year old tried to put sizable distance between her and the newt. "Derf get it awaaaay!" |

A person was coming towards her. That had taken a lot less time than Esme had thought it would and she was not complaining even though she had no idea who this boy was. Clearly he was young - probably 11 or so. Nothing wrong with that since she was totally fine with making friends of any age. "Sure thing! I'm Esme." If they were going to be sitting together it made sense to offer an introduction. Talking to a stranger wasn't as nice and names were important. |
SPOILER!!: no you don't shush Derf nodded confidently at Jessa. He had no doubt that dad would be able to do that. After all, Jessa was one of his best friends AND Miss Alexa practically part of the family...so really...it was doing the family a favor and dad was always talking about how important family was. SO, by that logic he was practically obligated - and that was his BIG and IMPORTANT word of the day. "Pos-s-sitive!" he bounced. "I'll bring my magical birds-s-s book wif me too." He simply nodded his head again. "Duh. Or I wouldn't of s-s-said it!" Because why would you say things if you didn't mean them or believe them? BUT THEN THERE WAS REALLY LOUD SHRIEKING AND IT WAS BEYOND STARTLING AND HE WAS FLAILING WHILE LEANING BACKWARDS AND KICKING THE TABLE AND KNOCKING IT OVER BACKWARDS AND TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMBER. 10-year-old down. Repeat. 10-year-old down. "JEEEEEEEEESSAAAAAA?!" he boyishly squeaked. "........owie........." |

He walked closer and closer to see all the flavours on the menu, blind to the world around him. If he had been paying any attention, he would realise the place was full of people he would soon be joining at school, and perhaps he would be a bit more concerned with the impression he'd be making. Ice cream, however, took priority. And as a result, he crashed right into two boys who stood close by. They'd been shaking hands. And one of the boys was way bigger than him. Oops. Fantastic first impression. "I'm really sorry," Harvey said when he caught his balance, holding up his arms and wondering if he could manage to back away and make it look dignified at all. Then he realised that whatever dignity he might have had was lost at this point anyway. But he wasn't going to be a chicken either. "I was just distracted, I haven't been here before, my sisters didn't want their kid brother hanging around when they were meeting friends before school started so they wouldn't take me-" Harvey shut his mouth, realising he was speaking too fast and too much. He exchanged being a chicken for a babbler. Great. |
Luc/Joel Claudette had for once gotten a rare afternoon off from work. Working as an immigration officer for the ministry of magic meant that you sometimes could be called out to cases at odd hours. Which was what happened on this particular day. Claudy had been up since 3am to interrogate and investigate a complicated family case outside Salisbury. Feeling pretty drained after reporting to her nearest boss she had taken the offer of leaving early without needing to be told twice. Glad for a free afternoon Claudy had browsed around in the Diagon Alley shops without haste before she in the late afternoon had headed over to Floreans to wait for Luc since he had wanted to meet there. With an ice-cream cup in one hand full of chocolate and a gossip magazine tugged under the other arm the blond 20 something year old found herself an empty table in the parlour courtyard and sat down. |
Quote:
After checking, double, triple-checking and another one to be certain, Luc determined the outside to be okay and free of danger. Grinning brightly at his girlfriend, "Hi Claudy." Leaning to peck-kiss her before sitting down close with his hand resting on her shoulder. "Everything alright?" He knew how crazy things had gotten to be at work. |
Quote:
Claudy saw Luc coming well before he made his way over to her with his own sundae treat in hand. It was safe to assume without asking that he had checked that the courtyard was danger free before he came to her, a hazard of his occupation that she took with stride. Putting away her magazine she grinned lovingly up at Luc as he leaned down at peck-kiss her on the lips. "Hi Luc," she murmured as he sat down close to her, and rested a hand on her shoulder. Reaching up to interlock her fingers with his Claudy said "I'm all right. Just a little tired. Everything has gone on non-stop since before dawn with a complicated case so I'm glad for an afternoon and night off with you." "How has your day been?" she asked before taking another bite of chocolate ice cream. |
Quote:
Why was she so cute? The way she looked at him sure worked its magic on making him feel very warm. Almost like how he saw Indy with his cousin Wade, though he didn't get as bashful as him.... Least he didn't think so. Though after a number of years Luc could maintain most of his cool thanks to tough Auror trainings as their fingers interlocked with each other. "Looks like we have matching luggage... well not just only literally cause of our usual vacation together. But yes, a break with you is the best time I serve after all the work we do." Well, he did say most of his cool, heh. He took a scoop of his own ice cream to eat. It was special this time of the year, with the holidays closing. "Can you believe how long we've been going together so far?" Since their sixth year in school and the time spent... wow. His smile grew more at her. |
Quote:
Pulling their interlocked finger closer, she looked up into Luc's eyes with love shining in her eyes as she responded quietly. "We've been together for 6 amazing years in March. That's a milestone. Many of our friends can't stay in a steady relationship for longer than 6 weeks." |
Quote:
Luc let out a goofy laugh at the question. Okay, so there was that one time Branxton was handling him and the other YATI 'babies' back then. "Oh no, nothing like that. Just an increase with some cases, but nothing I can't handle." It was pretty cool thinking back to how frazzled and overwhelmed he would get in crazy situations, and now... Not so much. More years spent under the Auror life did wonders along with his check-ups. "Yeah.." Making him beam brightly, "It gets more amazing each day I spend with you." T'was the truths as he scooped more ice cream in to eat. "I feel that the next six years will be even better." |
Quote:
Scooping up more ice cream to eat on her spoon she beamed brightly up at him. "Every day I get to spend with you makes me love you even more." It was just simple fact. Swallowing down the ice cream she was chewing on Claude murmured in agreement "I think the next 6 years will be even better and more amazing too." What was Luc trying to get at? She wanted more than just the next 6 years with him. |
Quote:
"That.. makes me so happy." Luc admitted. He was more than relieved to hear it as mutual as he was more than halfway through his sweet treat. "I think so too.." T'was the truth, but not the whole truth as he set his utensil down to gently take her hands to hold, "I want to spend more than the next six years with you though." His heart was beating fast as he tried to form the right words by himself. "I... I really love you Claudy and.. I feel as though all the signs pointed to us in the right direction with how smooth things have been with us.. What I want to say is.." Cue the rapid blinking as he could feel his face heat up, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you so.. w-w-w-ill you marry me?" This was it. The moment of truth. |
Quote:
Peering into his eyes Claude licked her lips as she responded her throat suddenly dry as she squeaked with surprise and love. "Yes, yes I want to marry you Luc! I want to spend every day of the rest of my life with you. You're the one for me and always will be. I love you so much." Could he kiss her now? |
..this is canon xD Quote:
This was it. The moment of truth over. Those miliseconds of time began to feel like hours in Luc's head along with the voices. What if she said no? What would happen to us if she said no? Luc didn't recall there being instructions on how to handle a rejected proposal. Could they just like forget it happened and return to the beautiful relationship it already is but wait another time. When would be another good time? Tomorrow? Next month? Next year? Next six years? Next sixty years?? Merlin. Luc was beginning to regret doing it. But wait. No. There was no way he would regret it. He LOVED her. She said she LOVED him too. But.. the timing. Was it bad? Was it good? What would happen next if she said yes? The planning. Oh the planning. Well, that would be good because he would have her by his side in the end. And he could always ask Wade and Uncle Charely for help on this. Yes. But oh dear he didn't even hear her answer and the many thoughts that Auror training and studying Charm books in his schooling years didn't prep for this. Wait.. was that a yes? It was a yes. SHE SAID YES! What could he do now? "..Claudy.." Did Wade just change the weather here cause he could feel the rain drops reaching his cheeks. Pulling her close, Luc give her a nice kiss before a nice close hug. "I love you so much too." Wedding dates, schedules, invitations and their entire future together. But for now.. this was good. |
Quote:
The kiss and hug that followed the words were just right and nice and perfect in their simplicity. Feeling wet drops fall down her cheeks Claudy mumbled to luc "Is it raining or am i crying out of happiness and don't know it?" In her happy state it was possible that she had missed the weather change just like her tears. With her slender hands still in Luc's she looked up into his eyes. "I love you so much Luc. We have to tell our families the lovely news. Do you think they'll be happy for us?" She saw no reason why they shouldn't be unless of course they thought they were too young to be wed. No, they had to give their blessings. They just had to. Claudy loved Luc and that wasn't going to change, ever. |
For my Bitty & Lux <3 "Race you!'' Adi laughed and ran ahead of Lux with the hope of leaving her behind. She wouldn't feel bad. He made sure to never take their joking around and pranks on each other too far so as to never make her feel bad. Racing her- though unfairly- wouldn't hurt. The guy weaved around the many chairs looking for an orange one. It was his favourite colour, you know. Locating one, he plopped himself down on it. Where was that red headed mermaid? Adi had something SUPER important to tell her. |
For Emmylou! Simon Holden hadn't seen Emmylou in ages. He was excited to see her in person and catch up on everything that had been happening in her life. He hoped that she was doing well. She had always been such a friendly and sweet individual and especially welcoming to him. She was one of the first people that he had met at Hogwarts during his first year. And he really did wish the best for her as she had always been so kind to him. Thus for such a sweet girl- young woman- he thought that meeting at Florean's was the perfect venue. As he waited for her, he pulled out his cellphone and quickly sent a couple of emails to his coworkers. |
Quote:
It was soooooo unfair for Adi to randomly call a race when he was already ahead of her. Lux shook her head and giggled at her best friend as she watched him take off, increasing the lead that he already had on her. "That is not cool!" No matter, because she was amused and not in the least bit annoyed. Even though she knew that she probably wouldn't win, the redhead could NEVER back down from a competition and so she began to run after him. Reaching the table a few moments after him, she took a seat across from him. "Typical of you to hunt down the ORANGE chair." Hehe. Lux would have done the exact same thing in his place, except it would be in looking for a BLUE one. Blue had been her favourite colour for as long as she could remember, and it would continue to be for the rest of her life. |
SPOILER!!: Lux! <3 Adi sat snugly in his orange chair, smiling innocently at Lux when she finally caught up. "What a slow poke you are. Gosh.'' He sniggered. "Of course! Orange is the best. There are lots of blue around too... and one right here.'' In addition to looking for orange, he had looked for a table with a blue chair. See how considerate he was? Right. So, Lux must or must not be wondering why they were out for ice cream. He had something to tell her. Something that impacted his life in a HUGE way. Adi's expression turned a bit serious. "Lux, I've been thinking a lot lately about me and Benny. We've been together for a while and I want to propose to him.'' Yep. He wanted to do that soon too! |
Quote:
The newly brunette woman looked at her phone as she entered Diagon Alley. She knew that she was going to be a couple minutes late. She had even left early to drop Mason off at her grandmother's house. The former Gryffindor put her cellphone into her back pocket and made her way towards Florean Fortescue's. She looked around with her bright blue eyes, she knew that Simon would be here somewhere. |
Miranda was finally able to shed the siblings for the afternoon and got permission to meet up with some friends. That is if she were lucky enough to bump into someone while she was out. She thought it was the perfect kind of day for ice cream and so to Florean's she went, because of course theirs was the best ice cream you could get in Diagon Alley. She walked through the already open door and stood in line to make her order... Well, first she'd have to make a choice... And that was always the hardest part of all. Wasn't it?! ... SOOoo many choices!! And there really were too many to pick from. She was hoping to not hold up the lines as her eyes scanned the menu that she'd read a thousand times... She could probably recite it by heart but being the creature of habit that she was , she stood there mouthing along to the flavors offered as her eyes read along. |
Quote:
Walking in Kyle decided on a mixing a few flavors together. Getting the scoops in a dish. Paying he turned and headed out to the courtyard. It was a busy day, but he found an empty table in the corner of the seating area and sat down to eat his ice cream. |
Ice cream was always a must when he stopped by Diagon Alley, especially on a hot day like today. He probably should have invited a friend to come along with him, but it had been more of a spontaneous decision to come today and sometimes this was just as fun - see who he might bump into. The fifth year got a double scoop dish of chocolate frog ice cream and made his way out into the courtyard seating area. Not seeing anyone he knew, Henry took a seat at an empty table. Maybe someone he knew would stop by, but even if no one did, he could flip through his newly bought copy of WSPM while he enjoyed his ice cream. |
Quote:
Miranda finally made her choice(s)and had the clerk put her cone up in a dish so she wouldn't lose any of her precious prailene ice cream. She went to go and find a spot to sit and everywhere had people .... But there was one table with a lone boy sitting there and three other seats... You do the math... She wanted a seat and there were 3 perfect grand chairs for the taking... And she did too.. She walked right over to him and said, " Hello, There... Mind if I join you?... You've got the last three seats and my ice cream is melting... "Hint hint.. she made sure to use her most friendly smile and hoped she didn't look like a ninny standing there with grin for nothing... |
Quote:
What it could happen! Looking back at the girl, "These are my brothers this is Dom, this is Jaq, and this is Bob." He laughed as if one of them just told a joke. |
For Damien! It was that time of year again. The time for school supply shopping for the upcoming term. This seventh year Slytherin was not much one for shopping. He hated getting new clothes because they were always stiff and didn't have that wear and tear feel. He also had to bring his cousins and whole family here or else he wouldn't hear the end of it. When he managed to shake off his family and decided to go get ice cream on his own, he let out a sigh of relief. He could finally have some peace. He walked over to his own table and just sat there relaxing his legs. He wasn't much of a walker but he loved running. He found the ice cream menu and began to wonder what he was going to have. Would it either be mint chip or cookie dough. Such tough decisions. He even looked at his view and wondered if he would see anyone. He was still baffled he made it to the end of his term at Hogwarts. |
Quote:
So the only reason why Katerina was here was because aher brother made her come, but her mom gave her money to get ice cream. Well she gave her money and that money was going to ice cream. It was a hot day today, perfect for ice cream. She had already lost Phillip in the crowd. Well not really it was more like she went one way and he went another. She went toward the ice cream shop went in and got cone of butterbeer flavored ice cream. It was way too crowded inside, and so was outside, so the soon to be fourth year headed to the courtyard. She wondered around eating her ice cream and looking around finding somewhere to sit. Seeing Henry she slowly made her way over and sat next to him. "Hi Henry." She grinned as she sat down. |
SPOILER!!: Simon almost had to do a double take when he looked for the familiar voice that called his name. Woah. She looked different. It was a good kind of different though. However, he knew that voice and accent anywhere. "Emmylou! You look terrific," he said with a grin before quickly recovering. Oh Merlin! "Uh.. That's not to say that you don't always look terrific. Being a brunette suits you just as well as blonde did." He was still as awkward as every. He smiled. "What made you dye your hair brown?" "How have you been?" he asked and then caught himself. He was asking so many questions once again as he was eager to see his old schoolmate. It was still weird, thinking that they had been out of Hogwarts for such a long time now. "Whoops. There I go asking too many questions again." He chuckled, blushing the slightest shade of pink. He was just happy to see her. |
Quote:
Time would tell. Change would come, and one way or another she would claw her way out of this. She was a Lion, after all and that meant something big. Having metaphorically floated her way through the alley Aslan found herself before the busied ice cream shoppe. Her stomach grumbled and it was only then that she realized she'd forgotten to feed herself. Idly checking her pockets, she decided she had enough loose change for a one-scope ice cream cone. Standing unconsciously close a classmate, Aslan looked about for a menu. |
Quote:
JP walked over to a table and saw someone sitting on their own. Jp took out his little canary companion and spoke to him. "Here goes nothing, Ollie." JP took a deep breath and asked nervously " Hi, mind if I sit down?" |
Kaaaaath and Derfael ~ Ice-cream was possibly one of the best ways to conclude a shopping trip. Her father had taken her to get her new robes before the time came to meet with Derf for a midday treat and she'd be lying through her teeth if she said she wasn't super excited for this. The people at Hogwarts were nice and all, and she'd made friends with a few of them but aside from the holidays where she went home, it was a whole lot of time not seeing her him. She really missed her bestie and had SO MUCH to catch him up on!! "Let's sit here." She offered, pulling out a chair somewhere in the middle of the little courtyard. Their table had been cut short by another group that had been seeking to make theirs larger and more accommodating to their larger number. Most of them she recognized from school, something she couldn't say just a year ago. Jessa flopped into her seat, already very much looking forward to the double scoop of strawberry ice-cream. "We could mix out flavours if you want." |
Quote:
Not that he hadn't had the opportunity before but today was TOTALLY different. Now he had real reason to poke and prod best friend Jessa aaaaaaaaall about Hogwarts besides innocent curiosity. He had asked his mum a few things, seeing as she had gone to Hogwarts...and been a professor...and a head of house, but that had been AGES go. Like...FOUNDER ERA ages ago and everything he had seen in the Prophet and elsewhere was not exactly like his mum had described. So today he was ready to pick Jessa's experience apart about everything. EVERYTHING! "How much do you haff left?" he asked as he rolled his cauldron to a stop by their table - these things were BIG and HEAVY, alright? "Maybe we s-should just get a s-s-sundae to s-s-split." Had she gotten her fwooper, by the way? He probably should have asked that now before he forgot because it wasn't on his list of inquiries. |
Quote:
What ice cream did she want? Lux ran through all the options in her head. It was going to be either chocolate or Chocolate Frog in all probability though she was up for a few others. Maybe not the more adventurous kinds, but there was nothing wrong with trying new things. Her eyes widened at what he said next. Not because she hadn't been expecting it to happen EVER, but because she hadn't thought it would happen NOW. "For real? Have you bought the ring yet??" |
Quote:
Derf's question had her reaching into her pocket. It took some time but the 12 year old was finally catching on to wizarding currency. No longer did she pull random coins from her pocket and hope it was enough (which it usually was). "Uhhh..." Jessa laid the coins out before her, noticeably locked in concentration. "Three galleons....six--wait no, seven sickles and ten knuts." Pale blue eyes rose to meet his. "Will that get us a good sundae?" There were many things the little girl prided herself on knowing. Wizarding things were slowly getting onto the list but not quite there yet. "I hope we can get a bunch of flavours. I think I wanna have some of the chocolate frog one. Lexa loves it." |
Quote:
Derf hated to think what size 1 was like. Or 3...which way did cauldrons even go? Was 1 the biggest or smallest? Why hadn't anyone told him this? Now he was distracted by logistics of cauldrons and he had far better things to be concerned about. But..also...why not Collapsible Cauldrons? Those surely were better space savers AND less heavy. He wouldn't have to roll that around Diagon Alley like he had been all morning with this one. Which also prompted a thought. MAYBE he could get Jessa to roll HIM around while he was inside the cauldron... "A large s-sundae i-s-s-s only one galleon," he informed her with an eager nod of the head. Which...Jessa had. She had THREE even. "Bunch of flavors included." To be polite though...he pulled out his own little coin bag and set his remaining currency on the table. Which was really a not-so-humble mountain of knuts now - it was just easier giving the shopkeepers the most valuable currency in his possession and let them do all the math figuring out change and whatever. |
Quote:
"Since I already have a galleon, we'll use it and you can give me the half you would'a given the shopkeeper." However many knuts that ended being. She really wished she'd been paying more attention. "I can go get it while you sort...." The Ravenclaw gave little hand gestures towards his generous pile, "this out." Her own money was scooped back into her pocket. "What flavours do you want in it?" |
Quote:
Oops. Maybe...juuuuuuuuuuuuust maybe he should have emptied his coin bag into his cauldron rather than on the table as now there were knuts e v e r y w h e r e. Thanks to the special qualities of his mokeskin pouch, of course. It wasn't as neat as his magical suitcase dad had enchanted for him to use for school...but this did already for his money. "Uuuuuuuuuuuum..." he mumbled as he dove under the table to retrieve some of the copper coins before they rolled too far away. "...400," he said with a false confidence. He KNEW the first number was a 4 at least and round numbers made the most sense with this sort of thing. Why have an ODD number of coins? Couldn't divide that up evenly and then some coins would be left out and it just sounded messy. The logic made sense in his head. See? Half. Half of 4 was 2 and therefore he needed to count 200 coins to give to Jessa between now and when she returned with the sundae. Maybe he wouldn't be so bad at Arithmancy after all! "Chocolate frog for s-s-sure," he nodded from under the table, still scooping knuts into his hands. "OH AND BUTTERBEER!" he chirped, sitting up a bit too suddenly and smacking his head on the underside of the table with an unceremoniously loud THUD. |
SPOILER!!: Derrrfff Jessa cringed at the sudden and oh so loud sound of her friend's head colliding with the table. That sounded like it hurt an awful lot and if he started to bleed out she was going into full panic mode because with all she'd learned, NOTHING TAUGHT HER HOW TO HEAL PEOPLE. She leaned over, trying to get a better look at him from under the table. "Promise me you'll still be conscious when I get back, okay?" For real, don't die Derf! Not for little bronze coins, they were worth the least! The soon to be Second Year straightened and spared him another glance before turning to head into the shop. So far, she knew they wanted chocolate frog, strawberry and butterbeer which probably left room for a whole lot more. Bastien had let her taste the jelly slug flavour that one time....maybe that could be added too. By the time she finally got to the counter, Jessa was solidly convinced that choosing ice-cream flavours was harder than the exams she had to take before heading home. In the end, she got the shopkeeper to help with the extra flavours before heading back out to the table and the hopefully more sorted bestfriend. No more coins, yeah? |

The twenty-one year old beamed with joy when she had seen Simon and the way that he was looking at her, she couldn't help but blush a rosy color. "T-thank you!" she said while nodding. "You look amazing as well!" Was that too much to say? Oops. "No, no. I know what you mean. It's alright! You're perfect!" she blinked a little before blushing more. She looked away with her bright blue eyes and just let the gaze upon the table for a moment or two before looking back up at him. "I just felt like I needed a change." A fresh new start. |
Corn <3 Would it be bad if he ordered ice cream and start eating it without waiting for Cornelius? Or better yet, what about ordering TWO ice creams so when the now fourth year showed up he was going to have his ice cream ready. See? Efficiency at its finest. Hugo ordered two scoops of cookies and cream for him and...two scoops of chocolate for Cornelius. He actually wasn't sure what kind of flavour he liked but was hoping that chocolate will do and that Cornelius wasn't like him 'cause Hugo didn't liked chocolate. He went to find a seat outside and wait for him and also cast a charm on Cornelius' ice cream so it wouldn't melt. |
Quote:
"Uh.........huh," he merely nodded in reply as he moved under a chair next to scoop up more coins. However....once Jessa was out of sight a certain URGE came over the 11-year-old...and it was an urge itching way too much not to scratch. So he did. Flopping on to his stomach, sprawled out on the ground and with his tongue sticking out of his mouth for dramatic emphasis, with his eyes closed and waaaaaaaaaaaaaited JUST like that for her to return with their ice cream. |

Quote:
He was so involved in the magazine that he hadn't even noticed Kat until she sat down next to him and spoke his name. Looking up suddenly, he turned and gave the girl a grin. "Hey, Kat! How's summer going?" She certainly was welcome company. And he wouldn't mind catching up with her a little bit as he hadn't seen her in a while. But not more than a moment passed before a younger boy had stopped at their table asking to join them. The more the merrier, right? And was that a canary on the kid's shoulder? Cool. "Yeah, sure, have a seat," the fifteen year old grinned at the boy. "I'm Henry and this is my good friend Katerina," he added as an introduction, gesturing to the girl sitting with him. |
Quote:
Noticeably confused, the 12 year old approached the table. It wasn't until she'd placed the sundae down that the sight of a foot on the other side caught her attention. Was he still picking up coins? Good heavens had there been THAT many? Jessa leaned onto the table again, in an effort to get a better look at her friend on the other si-- "AAaaaAAAhhhhHHHHhhHHHHh!!!!!!" The shrillest of shrieks escaped the little girls lips as she hurried around to him. Even the tongue poking out seemed legit--it figures that even in a crisis he'd manage to be a goofy dope. It fit the bill completely and tragically. "Derf!" She was on her knees by his side in seconds, panic full blown in her expression. "No no no no no. Wake up. Oh no oh no oh no." Did she shake him? Did she just LEAVE HIM THERE??? There was no blood but maybe he had a concussion? "Deeerffff wake UP!" |
Quote:
OOOOH the joys of growing up. Not really. He'd grown a few inches taller what seemed over night (which he didn't mind - taller than most of the ladies now), body hair...don't get him started on that. Worst of ALL, his face was getting SPOTS. S P O T S on his beautiful face. What a disgrace. An utter, utter disgrace. His sisters said they'd go away and they even got him several brands of concealer stuff. He felt like a girl, so the curly-haired boy refused to use them. He did though, accept his mother's acne potion. They wouldn't disappear the spots on, well, on spot, but they would make them go away fast. With a huge one on his forehead, the Slytherin styled his hair in a way that covered it. See. The only one who go his back good was his hair. His hair AND Hugo, the latter of which he was here to meet. Not only was his physical aspect acting out, but also...other things. Cornelius just KNEW Hugo was the man to go to. It was Hugo Foster after all. Spotting the former Slytherin Prefect (oh - that still hurt), Cornelius' face brightened. "Heeeey, wassup?!" he grinned, clapping Hugo on the back. |

SPOILER!!: Cucumber Lady! <3 Adi faked scoff. "I can beat you anytime, just admit it, Lux.'' That innocent smile that he usually used when he was far from innocent lingered on his face. "Just because I'm feeling super sorry for you and I don't want to make you sad, I'll let you believe that blue is the best colour.'' Wasn't he just the best best friend? "Nooo, for fake, Lux,'' Adi said with a laugh. But then he shook his head. "I was hoping you'd want to help me do that. I want to propose on his birthday.'' Actually, he knew Lux would want to help. "If you don't, I won't treat you to ice cream.'' Hehe. |
Quote:
Which was why he was unable to prevent himself from cracking a small smile and subtle boyish giggle. |
Quote:
She would have to go find him, somehow, anyway she could! Jessa hopped to her feet, all set to run when she heard that familiar giggle. ... ...... The smile was unmistakable as she looked down and this realization made her red in the face. "DERFAEL ASHBURRY-HAWTHORNE YOU SCARED ME!!" She all but wailed. The 12 year old reached down and took hold of his hand to pull him up. |
After looking at the new Quidditch broomsticks a few shops away, Isabel walked happily into the ice cream shop. After having a long day shopping for her new robes, due to the fact that she'd grown taller through-out vacations, Bell felt her feet hurting and her tongue strongly desiring ice-cold chocolate. Her father would've loved to be there, having as many ice cream scoops as he could, with as many toppings his stomach could handle, but unfortunately, her mother wanted to check a few more shops before the evening ran out. Isabel walked outside the ice cream shop, holding her mint chocolate chip scoop in a cup and looked around the courtyard for an empty space to sit. It was a really sunny day, so she picked an empty table with the umbrella open. Her skin was so pale and fragile sticking around the sun too much meant reddened skin the next day. She grabbed a plastic spoon from the wooden stand in the center of the table and happily scooped a little of her minty ice cream into her mouth. She felt a little talkative today...she was hoping she could meet someone. |
Quote:
Good news? All his knuts were now in one place...mostly. And yeah....he did feel bad about scaring her. "You're not crying fough," he casually observed. "Fat's good." So he hadn't scared her to tears, you know? But anyway....ice cream? Ice cream. |
Quote:
"And I'm not crying yet." Jessa flopped into her seat, extending one of the spoons toward him. "I was two seconds away from darting down the alley looking for anyone who knew how to bring a kid back to life--I'd have questions for 'em after, and for you too on what it was like--but I was still worried." It was important to add the last bit....as well as..."Do that again the rats at Hogwarts won't be my only involuntary experiment volunteers." How many witnesses sat out here? Couldn't say he wasn't warned, yeah? Now sufficiently getting over the earlier scare, Jessa's shoulders slump into a noticeably more relaxed fashion and the crazy look had gone from her eyes, giving way to curiosity. "Have you gotten most of your stuff ready for school yet?" |
Quote:
Which, lead to the unfortunate side effect of completely not hearing the boy'a offer to sit or his following remark of familiarity, a remark she would have echoed. Arms loosely wrapped around her waist, Aslan raised a thoughtful fist to her chin and went on in her thinking, undisturbed. |
Quote:
Miranda scooped a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth as she waited for the boy's response... ... Any day now... She eyed him as he thought about whether or not to answer and then.....' Whaaaaa?...' Okay she could see he was abit different.. She looked to the three seemingly empty chairs with a look that nearly gave away her first impressoin of him but thought better of making a big deal out of it.. Instead she greeted each of the empty seats as if though they were in fact occupied. " Well, It's very nice to meet you all.. My name's Miranda.. ", She said with a warm and friendly smile. Then she turned to the boy she had first addressed and introduced herself to him as well. " Perhaps one of your brother's would be so kind as to offer me a seat?" Surely he'd have to offer her a seat now. Especially since she was nice enough to play along with his little rouse.. Waiting expectantly as she eats more of the refreshing treat. |
Genny Ice cream!!!!! This was one of Harriet's favourite parts of Diagon Alley. That and the ultra cool ink shop. But she couldn't eat ink, and since she was super hungry, she totally had to get to the ice cream shop. So she could have some of her favourite ice cream. This was the first year that she was really allowed to go shopping on her own, and be trusted. So she was totally going to take advantage of it. She had queued patiently inside the shop and was practically bouncing once she got outside. She had a big sundae, with chocolate frog ice cream. She was so excited. So she quickly found herself a seat and sat down. Now to simply enjoy. |
Quote:
"Hatti! oh hi." Spotting one of her friends from Hogwarts, she walked carefully towards the other girl and took a seat. "Oooooh chocolate, amazing. Maybe I'll have another with that after this one." She chopped down on her ice cream with a giggle. |
Quote:
She looked up as she heard a voice, and she beamed. A friend! Yay for friends! "Hi Genny!" Hattie beamed at her friend. She hadn't seen her for a while, which made sense since they weren't at school now. "Yep! It's my favourite!" The third year to-be replied as she took another big mouthful. "What have you got?" |
Quote:
Looking around, the Gryffindor remained quiet for a moment enjoying her treat and offering her companion the same luxury. It was one of the few situations where Genny can be quiet, food and a Quidditch match were her two secret fixes if you hated how loud she could be. As far as she knew, it was only her parents who knew them. |
Quote:
"Ooh... It sounds yummy...." Hattie mused with a smile. It probably wasn't a combo that she herself would try, maybe not together, but it sounded nice. They were quiet for a few moments, but that was okay. It meant that she could eat her ice cream in peace, and savour the flavours. Nom nom nom. It was really yummy. She did finally speak after a few moments, not liking too much quiet. "Are you having a nice summer"? |
Quote:
Summer? Oh summer. "Yeah, it's great! Sometimes I don't wish to go back to school." She laughed. "I'm going on U17 tryouts soon next week, I hope to get in. What about you? Anything special you need to do in summer?" |
Quote:
"I do. I miss Hogwarts. Not the lessons. Just the castle" She mused with a smile. She loved doing art around the castle so much. "Oh really? My best friend is on that team" And she loved supporting Noah at his matches. It was really cool. "I'm going to art camp next week. It's gonna be really fun" She loved her art, so it was going to be great to do a whole week of it. Hopefully she would get a bit better at it. |
Quote:
"Are you here alone?" He was of course there alone, but he tried to make it out he wasn't and that he was cool not a total loser. "My brothers can be annoying so sorry if they bug you." His real brothers were annoying so that wasn't a lie, but the pretend ones eating ice cream right now weren't going to say a word. "So what is your name? I mean your a puff, right? I've seen you in classes." |
Quote:
|
Quote:
Naturally, it was a boy. ".... was that rhetorical or literal?" She asked simply, her tone empty of feeling. The boy was vaguely familiar in the way most of her classmates were to her. Yes, he seemed quite like a Hogwarts boy with his snapping figures and the possibly insulting words. Uncurling the menu she'd accidentally made a mess of, Aslan tucked it into her back pocket while she waited for the boy's reply. |
Quote:

Quote:
She smirked at her best friend. "Do you want to make that interesting? Put Chocolate Frogs on it?" Okay, she wasn't REALLY being serious there, but it was nice to pretend. This was how their friendship worked and even if other people didn't necessarily understand it, at least THEY did. "You are far from innocent Aditya Rehman. You are also wrong about orange being the best colour. You lose and owe me a Chocolate Frog." MWAHAHA. Snort. He had known what she meant. It was just all a surprise! "I'm really happy for you guys, you know. I think that it's about time you two tied the knot!" Honestly she hadn't been sure which one of them would pop the question, but her money had been more on Adi than Benny. "Of course I will help! Don't be silly." She was bouncing up and down in excitement. SQUEAAAAAAL. |
Quote:
With all this thoughts on his mind, Hugo was halfway through his ice cream and holding Cornelius' with his other hand while waiting for the Slytherin to show up and he didn't had to wait much 'cause soon enough Cornelius was there. Hugo got up -ice cream cones in both hands- and turned around grinning, "Cornelius!" and gave him a hug. A bro hug, yeah. "Take this one, it's yours. You like chocolate, right?" If not, well, they had a problem. Cornelius was growing up fast that Hugo noticed some puberty signs on his face. "What's up with the spots?" said with a small laugh. Tough days, tough days. |
Lizzz/ Ava Alex slid into a seat outside in the courtyard. She tucked her white blonde hair behind her ear and placed a hand briefly on her stomach. A warm smile crossed her face as she thought of everything going on with her. Not only was Lily going to Hogwarts for the first time, but she had a new job in the ministry and.. Board of Governors. The half Veela chuckled softly to herself and eye eyes scanned briefly over the menu.. smiling as she saw Jordan's favorite flavor.. Seaweed.. as much as she loved the man, that was still so odd.. She tapped her red heeled shoe on the cobblestones as she waited for her twin to show up.. One of these days they were going to have to do a full family reunion.. Maybe at the manor? Hmmmm... |
