Outdoor Seating https://i.postimg.cc/CKJGz429/outdoor-seating.jpg Visiting Florean Fortescue's for a tasty treat? In the shop just to meet and greet with friends? Either way, you'll probably be looking for a place to sit down. If the weather's warm enough, or you're just looking for some fresh air, you'll love to sit at one of the many outdoor patio tables the parlour has to offer. Each table is circular in shape, with a number of comfortable wooden seats surrounding it. Depending on the time of year, you just might find a bouquet of fresh flowers sitting in the middle of the table you're seated at. |
Laila waited for her sister to get back from the counter. She didn't want ice cream, but her sister and her new friend wanted some. She played with her hair carelessly as she sat there at the courtyard seating. Kaira had gotten her ice cream and couldn't wait to get back to get to the courtyard. She and her sister had this thing where they never took a bite of their own food without sharing it with each other, if they were with each other. Mmmm..Nacho cheese and Jalapeno! She waited for her new friend to get his ice cream. |

Laila sat waiting for her sister to come back. Hey, there was someone else as well. 'Hello dear,' she said kindly to the young boy. Kaira sat down near her sister with Malachi. 'Laila, this is Malachi..we met at the bookstore,' she said. Laila grinned and said, 'Hiya Malachi, I'm Laila,' and held her hand out to shake. 'Are you here all by yourself, dear?,' she asked. |

Kaira smiled. 'Muggle-born? Oh niiiice!, my grandma and grandpa are muggles!,' she said excitedly. 'Must have been a surprise, the letter, then. How did your parents take it? How did you feel?,' she asked excitedly. |

Laila smiled kindly. The boy seemed so nervous. 'Relaaax,' she said. 'Oh that's a bummer..we could've met them if they had come along,' she added. But she understood how they felt. |

Kaira grinned. 'My dad loves ice cream too!This one,' she said looking at Laila 'takes after my mom, I guess! She isn't too fond of ice creams!'. Laila said, 'Wow..you must have like..a thousand questions, right?,' she said. |

Kaira smiled. 'Both of us take after our dad, appearance-wise . We are half-Indian actually, though we don't look the part,' she said. |

Kaira ran to the counter and got some hot water. She gave it to Malachi and said, 'Here! Drink it!'. |

Kaira's furrowed brow straightened as Malachi smiled. She smiled back. 'I can't wait to start Hogwarts! Sounds wonderful,' she remarked. |

Laila said 'Sure, you wanna go to the Zoo next?,' she asked Out of Character : I already have an RP going on at the Scamander zoo. Is tht where you wanna take 'em next? |
Summer. The season was for sure one of Liliane's favourite. Ice cream, hot weather, and U17 quidditch. There was literally nothing that could be better than the summer. It made the last year so worth it. It had been hard, and emotional, but she's survived. And she knew that she was in a much better place than she had been this time last year and she was just looking forward to spending some time with her friends. Since she had been home schooled over the last year she hadn't really seen much of her friends, so she knew it was going to be a great summer. The first person that she had planned to meet up with was Derf, and Lili was super excited to see him. They'd had some kind of letter contact over the last year, but she couldn't wait to actually see him properly. Lili had collected her ice cream, and was currently sat waiting for him. Soo excited! |

Resets that included seeing friends and just, well, being a teenager for once without feeling like someone was breathing down your neck waiting for you to slip up. So he had been more than delighted to hear from Liliane and even more so that their U-17 schedules allowed them to meet somewhere that wasn't on the pitch. His final summer as a beater for Wales...that thought hadn't entirely sunk in yet either. Spotting her easily, Derf waved with a grin as he approached. "Long time no see," he smiled, taking her appearance in. "You look...really good, Liliane." He was very pleased to see. A year away from Hogwarts and everything and really done her well. Now she needed to stand so he could give her a hug. A good and proper one. |

But today she was seeing Derf off of the pitch, and that was much better. Derf was a beater too, so she didn't often end up hurting him. But it was still much better to see her friends when they weren't playing quidditch. She adored the sport, but it was so much better to have a conversation off of the pitch. It had been such a long time since they had had a proper conversation anyway. So this was going to be good. And since she would be at Hogwarts again in September, she knew that it was not going to be as awful as it had been for the last year. "hiii!" Lili beamed as she saw Derf. She had to admit to herselft hat it was a nice feeling to know he thought she looked good. Though, of course, she knew he only meant it on a friendly way. It was only her that could not stop having feelings for someone who didn't feel the same way. "I feel really good..." She murmured as she stood up, and opened her arms. Could she get a hug now? |

Being a teenager was hard, you know? Pulling away a bit, Derf tucked some of her blonde hair behind her ear before speaking. "I gotta get myself some ice cream too. But I'll be back soon, yeah?" |
He knew that Diagon Alley would busier during this time of the year - everywhere was, including both home and Stemp House - but still, Jude was happy to sit down at the ice cream parlour and stop dodging louder, bigger kids. Which everyone seemed to be - louder and bigger than he was. Even Jorgie was, but he didn't mind her version of bigger and louder. In fact, it was the only version of bigger and louder her liked, and he smiled at her, very glad that their parents had given them the money to come and sit at Florean Fortescues before meeting them later. Of course, they'd probably forget he needed his wand. But Jude didn't really mind that, too much. |
