When there was a girl there who looked new and close to her own age maybe. Well new in that she had the look of 'i don't know what to get, because I've never had this before'. Which was where the Gryffindor came in, chiming all too eagerly, "I'd recommend one of each." Just saying. Or maybe she was still on her sugar cravings from being so deprived for ten months. |

"Alright. I'll get three scoops of different flavours." She said with a nod. She was debating between chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, but she could actually eat all three! There were so many flavours available, she would not be able to try all of them in one day, or she would get brain freeze. She could come back everyday and try three different scoops at a time. "What are you thinking of getting?" She asked the girl. |
What was a trip to Diagon Alley without stopping by Florean Fortescue's? That was Isla's opinion, at least. Her mom had decided to stop on the sidewalk and talk with a friend, while Isla made her way into the ice cream shop to place her order. She ended up choosing two scoops of chocolate frog, mainly because she loved chocolate. She just hoped there weren't any actual frogs in her ice cream, because you really never knew about those things in the wizarding world. After two licks of the ice cream, though, she decided that possible frog or not, she liked the taste of it. So she made her way to an empty table and sat down. She opened the umbrella on the table, because she thought it looked colorful and because her ice cream was starting to melt. With a quick wave to her mom to let her know she was okay, the up-and-coming firstie sat back to relax. School shopping could really do a number on an eleven-year-old! |

The very instant he left Ollivanders, the boy couldn't help but wave his wand this way and wave it that way and give it a twirl and a point and even a spin. Unintentionally he had been making the occasional spark fly or an object move, but he hadn't taken any notice to that. He was so freaking excited that he had a wand of his own and that he would soon be doing magic with it. If only he could remember that one spell Kenny had taught him. Petrify Toddlers? Petroleum Totals? As he tried figuring out the incantation, Asher continued zooming down the street to meet up with his mum and Kenny in the robes shop. Then, after slipping between two random adults, the brightly coloured outdoor seating of the ice cream shop caught his attention. Ooooooooooooooh! Ice cream sounded delicious right now, and he did have a little bit of money leftover in his pocket. But there were SO MANY flavours to consider... Butterbeer, Troll Bogey, Cockroach Cluster, Jelly Slug... how could anyone choose? "Oi!" he said to a girl that was sitting near to where he was standing. "What flavour didja get? I can't decide!" He pointed at the ice cream in her hand with his fancy new wand, which may or may not have released out a bit of accidental magic. |
Quote:
"Really?" Oh, she hadn't expected the girl to ask her a question in return of what she was thinking of getting. "Ummmm... I'm a big fan of the more ... creative flavors. Like Chocolate Frog or Treacle Fudge ... Or they have this jalapeño one that's pretty decent if you like spicy... Mac n cheese is actually pretty good too." Really anything but the boring muggle flavors. "So you new around here?" |
Quote:
Her eyebrows rose in surprise at some of the flavours the girl mentioned. Jalapeño? Mac n cheese? She thought she was joking, until she scanned the menu again and saw that they were indeed being offered. "Wow ... I think I'll go for the more normal ones. Chocolate frog and butterbeer, maybe. Thanks for the suggestion though," she said, laughing. Everyone has different tastes and she tried to respect them, no matter how odd. "Yes, I moved here from Canada recently. Do you attend Hogwarts?" |
Quote:
Yes obviously the flavors were a bit far fetched, but to anyone who had been in the wizarding world for awhile, surely not. Except, maybe it was just UK Wizarding World that was weird with flavors? "Those are good choices and I think would probably compliment each other nicely." The chocolate with the butterscotch cream flavor of butterbeer; the girl was clearly smart. "Canada. Wow, so like, you know French? We were at Beauxbatons last term cause we got kicked out of Hogwarts by some fog. And then we almost got kicked out of Beauxbatons cause the French kids were spoiled brats who tried to sabotage our education but really they were the evil ones and brought a dragon to school!" Actually she wasn't really sure what it was, but that sounded good. "But yes, Hogwarts. I'm going to be a fifth year. And you?" Also she should probably state her name, but somehow that slipped her mind. |

"Exciting, um yea, i think so... Like, I'm pretty sure everything's all cleared up to go back to Hogwarts," hopefully. Because Carsyn wasn't sure she could take another year at Beauxbatons. "But don't worry, cause even if there's no fog, its never really a dull moment at Hogwarts." Okay, that probably wasn't the most reassuring thing to say either. Someone shut her up, please. |
Text Cut: Zoe Isla's thought her chocolate slug ice cream was the best treat in the entire world! It was no longer dripping all over her hands and fingers, because she was nearly through with it when Asher came along. He kind of startled her, mainly because she was so focused on her ice cream, but also because he waving a wand, a legit, real wand, this way and that. She might have been overreacting, but she thought she saw a little spark mixed in somewhere, too. "Chocolate frog," she said, "and it's amazing!" Her eyes were on his wand, though. "Did you just get your first wand?" She guessed that it was his first wand, because...well, just look at him! "I just got my first one, too! It's got unicorn hair inside!" She gently pulled it out, holding it tightly, and showed it to him. Her ice cream could just drip down her left hand for now, because wands were super important, too. Was it possible to conjure a second ice cream with her wand?! She just had to find out! She also wondered if this boy knew the whole 'no underage magic outside of school' rule. "Those sparks could...take down a whole table and chairs!" she said, although part of her did and part of her didn't want to see that happen! |
Quote:
"Chocolate frog?" he repeated, mentally adding that to the possible list of flavour options he'd choose from. "Definitely a classic!" And it must've been extra good today since most of her's was gone. If he actually knew her better, he might've asked for a quick sample. But all ice cream thoughts were momentarily put on hold the instant she revealed her wand. "Whoa! That's cool! Do you know any spells? Have you tried casting any yet?" He had all the questions ready to pour from this mouth, and he hoped she had answers. Maybe she knew that one spell his brother had mentioned to him. "Mine's got Clabbert tooth in it!" Asher exclaimed, certain that the core was pretty unique since he didn't know anyone that had Clabbert in their wand. Speaking of his wand, the girl's mention of the sparks made him actually look down at it and whatever it was doing. "Oh! Oops! It was doing this at the wand shop earlier. The thing has a mind of its own." He at least knew how to stop the sparks, which he did by just pointing his wand downward and then stuffed it into his pocket a bit. "I'm Asher by the way. Asher Fawley." Since he just remembered manners and everything. |
Text Cut: Zoe Isla nodded, and then she took a moment to eat the last delicious bite of her ice cream before finishing it off for good. She wiped her hands then turned back to the boy. "Chocolate frog is so good! It's got little pieces of actual chocolate frog mixed in it, too," she explained. "You don't have to worry about this chocolate frog hopping away from you either." I mean, it was chopped up into teeny, tiny pieces after all. Her eyes turned back to her wand, and she smiled widely as he looked at it. "Nope, none at all! But I'm going to be a first year at Hogwarts, so I'm hoping to learn a few soon," she said, answering his question about her knowing any spells. "I haven't tried any spells yet, but I caused a few sparks with this one at the shop, and the first one I tried caused a loud KABOOM! Nothing blew up, though." Her eyes widened in disbelief. "A clabbert tooth?! They can put those things in there?!" That was kind of cool, but she doubted the clabbert felt the same way. Unless...it was dead when its tooth was taken. Yikes. She laughed at the sparks that came out his wand. "It's okay, so as long as you don't catch my hair on fire or something," she said. "I'm Isla Bellchant!" |
Quote:
She nodded, reassured that the fog was all cleared up. What the girl said next was a bit alarming. It sounded quite dangerous. Maybe she liked dangerous things, the way she found jalapeño ice cream decent. Jina was not as fearless as her. At least she knew that there are people at Hogwarts who are brave. She can stay close to these people. "Okay ... um, do you want to go get the ice cream?" |
Guess we should wrap this up lol Quote:
"Oh um, yea, sure, we should go order." Carsyn nodded in agreement, before realizing she didn't know the girl's name. Of course the girl didn't know her name either. "What's your name, by the way?" |

It was really her after all! Wade happily returned the greeting with one of his big old badger hugs, it had been too long since they last met. He laughed heartily at the memory on when they first met here. "It's Merlin's fate that we'd find each other again here then!" He was starting his sixth year at that time which blossomed an instant friendship between the two. Joining her at the table they could catch up on many things, a lot happened in two decades after all. "So... how's things been since graduation?" From her plans then he imagined great things from her even if they happened to change. |
Quote:
"Since graduation..." she laughed, trailing off in deep thought. Many years had definitely passed, and so much had happened. She had gotten engaged to Jory but that had ended pretty quick, and she believed he had some children of his own now - which she was truly happy for; thankfully things had ended on a good note. But what else had happened? Not much came to mind and she gave Wade a shrug. "Not too much! I've been working at the Ministry as a personal assistant in the department of environmental protection. Got my own place in London, a little flat with my two cats." she beamed. She did love her little babies. "What about you?" she asked curiously. |

A look of disappointment appeared on Asher's face when Isla stated that she didn't know any spells. But the look was very brief and it quickly disappeared when she said that she was going to be a first year at Hogwarts. "Shoot. Well, I don't know any either," the boy replied quietly before moving on to the next subject with more enthusiasm. "The first wand I tried made a loud noise too. But the shopkeeper dude didn't seem to mind. He just went and got a different wand, which started shooting out colourful sparks like rainbows when I gave it a wave. ... And, yes! I don't even know how they do it, but they can!" Then a random question popped into his head: "What House are you hoping for? I'm going to be a Hufflepuff like most my family." Isla. The girl's name was Isla. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Isla." He extended his hand, though he wasn't quite sure whether to give a handshake, a high-five, or a fist bump. |

Text Cut: Zoe "You're probably right about that," she said. "You sound like my kind of person." If he was going to Hogwarts, too, she could see herself wanting to be friends with him. She thought about his question for a minute, making a slight face at the mention of cockroach cluster. "I'd go with one scoop of butterbeer and one scoop of jelly slug. Cockroach cluster sounds disgusting." An expression of amusement and surprise spread across her face when he mentioned the Bertie Bott's ice cream. "Whoa! What flavor was it?" "I've seen my mom and dad cast spells loads of times," she said, revealing that she was a pureblood. "So I kind of know about them, but I've never cast one myself." Thanks but no thanks to getting into trouble with the Ministry of Magic. "What kind of spells do you want to learn at Hogwarts?" He was a Hogwarts student, right? "I want to learn how to summon things to me and how to change a quill into a rhino!" That was a possibility, right? "I haven't really figured out the house I'm hoping for, but I think I'll be a Gryffindor!" she said with enthusiasm. "I don't want to be a Slytherin. I'm not much of a bad guy." She clearly had some things mixed up when it came to the houses. "Well, I hope you get into Hufflepuff," she added, and then she met his hand with a handshake of her own, except her hand had dripped ice cream all over it. |

Ice cream date bestie <3 Jessa Cambridge has cleared her schedule and traded shifts in order to make this ice cream date. It was one of the few things in her life that had remained consistent, one of the things that kept her grounded and if it meant picking up a double somewhere else, that didn’t bother her. V taking the boys for the afternoon was an equal help. It was just the break she needed from studying, sick and dying patients and boys who’d taught each other how to get into things. She took a seat at their usual spot, pleased it hadn’t already been snagged by any of the now unleashed Hogwarts students. Some traditions could be kept sacred. Not wanting to take the risk of a long line suddenly appearing by the time Derf arrived, she already secured their large sundae and charmed it to maintain its temperature. Was it silly to be so excited? It wasn’t as if Derf had fallen off the face of the earth prior to this ice-cream date. But the idea of seeing him and catching up was enough to lift her mood. |
Ali The second trip to get ice cream in the past three days. What was this? He didn’t know but whatever this was it was awesome. He was here with his Geegee the other day. Now he was here alone… well his parents knew where he was at least. They had given him enough money to go get some ice cream. Which he did. And boy was he as excited as an eleven year old boy could be. Now the problem was he had so much topping on top of his ice cream that every step he took something fell off. There was a trail from the toppings bar all the way out to the outdoor seating. Where Christian was currently looking for a place to sit so he could enjoy this monstrosity of a cup of ice cream. Let be real though he had gone just a little overboard on the gummy bears and sprinkles. Was there even any ice cream under there? |
Quote:
As she did head out though she noticed someone losing most of his toppings and she wasn't sure how to help, but she knew just staring was never the nice thing to do, so she set her ice cream down on the table before speaking up, "Hey you might want to just sit down before all your toppings are gone before you even taste any." Pulling out the chair and pointing so he knew she had one close she took a seat in her own. |
open :3 Jillian forced herself to go out today for some fresh air and something cold because getting stuck at home was getting more and more boring. She has brushed up with her reading but that didn't make it any less boring. So today was the day she felt like treating herself for some yummy ice cream. She had plenty of time to be out right now- not that she had anything listed on her schedule. She also thought of maybe shopping for her cats and maybe extra chocolates for when she needs to bake at home. Yes, that seems like a plan... but for now she just needed to unwind and buy some strawberry ice cream. Jillian bought 2 scoops of ice cream with chocolate sprinkles on top and made her way outside, where the sun is high and the wind is nice. She tugged her hair behind her ear and then began dipping her spoon on the pink ice cream and taking a large bite. Y U M M Y. Fruit flavored ice cream is always the best during summer. OHHHHH, she should have gotten green tea too! Merlin, she will be revisiting this place before going home later. |
we're assuming the post wedding friendship sads already happened, yeah? xD Quote:
Now, at the ripe age of 20 and no longer a vagabond but a somewhat reluctant university student, Derf was making his way towards Florean's with Clara on her leash. She had been particularly fussy to get out and with Chloe taking a double shift at her work he felt horrible about leaving her home alone. So here they were. And there Jessa was. "Jessa!" he called with a wave, just as he had done practically every summer prior. "Sorry. Reckon you were waiting a bit," he apologizes while switching Clara's leash between hands as she scurried around in circles at his feet. "Clara got into some of the supplies so we had to take a bath before coming." Which was why he smelled particularly of doggie shampoo. She sorta needed to stand so he could give her a hug though, you know? |
