Default Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop


Madam Puddifoot's is laid out in a typical English tea room fashion. Lace doilies cover each table on top of the flower patterned table cloths. In the middle of each is a contained candle, ready to be lit for those on a romantic retreat. The windows are half covered by fancy net curtains, leaving just enough room at the top to see over and down Hogsmeade's High Street. Little flower and heart covered cushions are on each seat awaiting your arrival.

The shopkeeper, a descendant of the original owner, keeps the shop this way because she has to. She has no desire to look upon all the fancy decorations herself, which is why you'll most likely find her in the back room. She'll come and serve you when you ring the bell on the counter, but make sure you know what you want to order as she doesn't have all day. Keep your snogging to a minimum unless you want to be kicked out.

He gave up trying when she was so busy all the time with that bloke "studying". And said bloke did poorly on hiding their crush. Justus looked slightly sheepish at Emma, who saw the whole thing. Given how she looked through the window and then back at him, he imagined the words she would've said to him.

Okay.. go ahead. Justus thought. She could probably get up and leave him in his mute status, call him names. And she did.... but not at him. He blinked, almost missing out the counterspell she uttered. His tongue fell back to its proper state, leaving him to cover his mouth before coughing.

"Excuse me... Thanks." It was very much appreciated. "I apologize for getting you into this." He said. "Erm... what was I saying.." Then he remembered. "Oh.. yeah. I like you Emma... and I was hoping this could be treated like a date between you and me." One thing with Justus, he didn't say much often but when he did he didn't mince his thoughts. "But I understand if you had second thoughts or any questions after what you just witnessed." So here he was, an open book ready to be asked.
Dinner and a show. Who knew that was what she was getting when she agreed to meet up with Justus? Only she hadn't expected to be in the actual show, even if she wasn't the leading lady. Truth be told she was oblivious to many things, mostly involving relationships because she adored so many people but there was these butterflies involved whenever Justus looked at her.

She waited a moment to see if her counterspell would work, sure enough it did when she heard him speaking again. "Did you ..." She chewed her lip thoughtfully trying to consider the millions of questions running threw her mind. So this was a date then? Her presumptions had been correct even if she wasn't officially sure until now. "I like you too. But I just ... did you, when... that girl... was your ex? How long ago did you break up?" Maybe start there. Wait, they did break up officially right? Or was he into the whole polygamy thing? Perhaps it was prudent to know what sort of relationship he was looking for

Well ok before it was just fun and didn't know if Diamond was serious BUT NOW she was bluntly admitting to it and uh….ok well guess Theia cant be so innocently flirting back now could she??

Right???

DIAMOND!

Oh no, she was very close now. Arm around her now….It did feel nice. Her brain was malfunctioning from Diamond’s breathe but it was nice.

“Um…this and um…also want to lean against you and want do find out what kind of lip balm you are using today”

Not for science or anything but like a proper one. Just the poor blonde was not one to be blunt.
Oh? Oh. OH!

Diamond had been many things in her life - namely dramatic, relentless, a menace to the art of subtlety - but speechless was rarely one of them. Yet here she was, caught off guard for all of a second before a slow, greedy grin spread across her face.

Amatheia was absolutely adorable and the best part about it was that she didn't even understand her own whims. Absolutely adorable.

The Gryffindor let the moment hang between them for just a breath longer, long enough to watch the color creep into her bestie's face, before Diamond decided to do something about it.

"Oh, Sunbeam," she practically purred, tilting her head ever so slightly. What? Diamond was perfectly entitled to hand out sappy pet names whenever she liked - and Theia did shine so it was based on factual evidence as well. Real hard journalistic coverage in a private setting, duh. "All you had to do was ask."

And then, with absolutely no hesitation, she closed the distance, pressing her lips to Theia’s in a kiss that was equal parts soft, deliberate, smug.

For the record? Strawberry Champagne. Bubbly, flirty, and luxurious.

Justus chanced his look in her direction, watching her expressions for a clue on what was the best thing for him to do. Stay and take the punishment? Excuse himself and get up like a coward. Or save her the trouble and walk away letting her find someone better, with him being the lone wolf that he wondered was Merlin's fate for him. Instead, she took him by surprise with giving him a chance. This was definitely the moment on what could happen next. He fought the urge to smile when she said she liked him, but she deserved the truth.

"Officially? I think that just about sealed our relationship." Justus said, his eyes glancing sideways out of his inner feelings. "As for when we stopped feeling like a couple? Ever since the school term started..." He paused for a few milliseconds out of reflecting, his hands moving to clutch the tea cup presented to them. "I've never been into sharing a girl, from how often Kritti and that Dio had been studying together alone. Our last date together in the forest last month, he followed us and started screaming at me about the safety when he found us." Though, Justus wasn't going to admit their date risked detention and their own lives. Especially when they were found hanging upside down. "From that point, I've just been focusing on myself and letting her do her thing. And she's just continued hanging out with him. This was the first time I think we looked in each other's direction in weeks." He shook his head at how he may have sounded as he glanced back at their tea. He considered taking a sip, but didn't want to drag out what he really wanted to say to Emma.

"To be frank, as you know, I'm not that big on sharing my feelings, at least not with someone who doesn't look like they'd give the time of day. Why waste their time? But I don't feel like that with you..." Looking up again into her eyes. "I just hope you don't consider me a waste of space, it would suck if I didn't get to ask you to be my only girlfriend." And there it was, his question left in the void of silence... if one were to ignore the sound of two girls comparing each other's lipgloss in the corner.

An absolute menace for drama’s sake. But it was one of Diamond’s good qualities.The bad side of it is when the quill comes out in mid convo because something cant be missed. There was a grin and then nothing…umm did Theia say something wrong or embarrassing??? This was when the color creeped into her face faster than she would want like ever.

“Sun….Sunbeam???” Of all the things to say and call her. “Are you feeling ok??” Sunbeam. 10/10 on it being Sappy. Made Theia chuckle a bit too much. Don't think Theia can compete with it..’ My favorite menace’ kinda worked it was sappy but wasn't on the same level.

Excuse her while she beams from the kiss.

Worst part is the kiss was great. Had to be strawberry. Just had to be. Now Diamond will be even more smug. Hard to even remember that this point there were other people here. Not going to bring it up and see that stupid smug smile since Theia might want to kiss her again

“I'm still not over Sunbeam you know”

Emma had a million thoughts running through her head but she was also terribly naive when it came to all things relationships. Sometimes she wished she'd been born with more of that Slytherin spirit of her father and brother. Or even a Ravenclaw like her mum. Instead she was Hufflepuff, which also meant she was willing to hear people out, empathize. Even if it didn't lead anywhere romantically she was the friend to always be there - probably even after she overstayed her welcome.

She nodded when he said basically their relationship had been on the brink of ending since start of term. But then there was something else and she wondered what she was getting herself into. He mentioned a date in the forest, which she could only assume to be the forbidden forest. Was there another forest at Hogwarts? She took a sip of tea, following his lead, trying to piece things all together.

"Just to be clear -- I don't think im the type of girl to go on dates in the forest." Actually she was nearly certain she wasn't. But she'd never been on a proper date before, so who knew? "And well I'm also not much of a studier. Although with OWLs fast approaching I probably should get on that. Last thing I would need is my seeker position jeopardized because i failed to pass enough exams." Who knew when she'd become so quidditch focused? Just two years ago she'd never have imagined it although the thought had crossed her mind before. That was about one of the few traits she shared with her father.

“I'm still not over Sunbeam you know”

The way Theia's face heated up, the way she fumbled over the word like it was too much for her to hold - it was aaaaaaaaaabsolutely adorable. But also like...talk about some secondhand embarrassment for a Ravenclaw now getting the perfect brilliance that was the nickname. Theia was warmth and brightness, the kind of person who could light up a room without even trying. A little dazzling, a little blinding when you weren’t expecting it, but never in a way that burned. No, she was the kind of light you leaned into, the kind that made you want to bask in it just a little longer. She had a way of softening the edges of things, making the world feel lighter JUST by existing in it. Diamond was a journalist, after all. So like, DUH, words were her craft, her weapon of choice, and she never used them lightly - though sometimes arguably a bit flippantly.

Was she feeling okay? Oh, so funny that you asked because she was feeling fantastic.

Because THAT had been every bit worth the wait. All the little teasing, the playful almost kisses, the so-called practice sessions of testing lip gloss flavors... it all paled in comparison. This was real. And it was good. The kind of kiss that lingered, not just on her lips but in the way her heart did a smug little flip in her chest. The accent of strawberry champagne was a nice touch too - all sweet and a little effervescent, like the moment before laughter spills out. Diamond decided then and there that it was officially her new favorite—partly because it was delicious, but mostly because it was hers theirs.

"Suppose you could get under it instead," she mused, all coy innocence as her fingers brushed a stray strand of blonde behind Theia's ear. "But first, we should probably order before we get accused of loitering and tragically kicked out before our wallets are exploited by these prices. Wouldn’t want to deprive everyone of our radiant presence and notierarity. Can you imagine the scandal? Two breathtaking young women, cast into the cold for being too distracting? Headlines would write themselves. Beeeeeeeeeesides, we’ll have plenty of time for that later."

Theia certainly had her undivided attention—well, mostly. It did waver ever so slightly as the drama at the other table unfolded, presenting new, tantalizing details for her article. Him, looking as though he were bracing for an earthquake of his own making. Her, radiating textbook Hufflepuff empathy, ever the picture of patient understanding. And then, hanging in the air like the final note of a melodramatic orchestral swell: “ask you to be my only girlfriend.” The audacity. The sheer suspiciousness of needing to clarify only girlfriend. Which, of course, could only mean there was a secret second—or perhaps even third—girlfriend lurking in the shadows. Duh. Especially after that earlier display and the dramatic storming out? Practically Shakespearean in its tangled web of messy romance.

Just two years ago she'd never have imagined it although the thought had crossed her mind before. That was about one of the few traits she shared with her father.

Justus didn't have to think too often about his own qualities. His parents, aka aunt and uncle had more years in his life to influence him. The quiet spell from his Ravenclaw Uncle and straight to the point from his Slytherin Aunt. Ravenclaws tend to search for their own answers, in traditional and non-traditional ways. That was the way of life, wasn't it? Not being limited to opportunities. Although, he didn't want to connect that with this current situation. To put it simply, he liked to know things. He had mysteries to solve and the one mystery he cared to know right now, would she be his girlfriend? The only girlfriend, seeing as Kritti left that spot open in his heart some time ago and he wasn't really searching to fill that spot. Things just... fell into place when he stopped focusing on himself.

Justus waited on the rejection, but it didn't arrive. At least, not with him, but one of his particular favorite areas. "No forest? Okay.. I've been losing interest in trying to have a picnic in there anyway." The forest back home were much safer, and peaceful, he recognized. While he probably won't ever stop venturing in the Forbidden Forest, he won't convince someone to join him, unless they offered. Studying, Quidditch. "Well... I agree. We can't let that affect your playing." A hint of a smile emerged. "So.. I'm going to assume we're dating now, then, since I have no objections to your conditions." Normally, things were sealed with a kiss, but Justus for once wasn't thinking immediately of his own desires. Emma's concerns were top priority and it was her he'd happily let take the lead.

For the rest of their date here, the signs were on the up for them both.

Nyle had arrived too early. Which he tried to tell himself was strategic, that he had done it on purpose to give himself time to choose the best table (not too central, not hidden, preferably near a window but not where the sun would be in their faces and make them squint through their cups of tea). But now he’d been sitting with his hands folded in his lap for nearly twenty minutes, pretending to read the menu even though he’d already memorized the difference between all the varieties of teas and cakes, and realizing that he was just an embarrassing human being. The little teashop smelled like sugar-drenched petals and soft vanilla, which should’ve made him feel at ease. It didn’t.

Because of what Iris said.

But it wasn’t, was it? It couldn’t be. He hadn’t even said THAT word! He’d just asked if Aurora wanted to grab tea and maybe talk about that book they both liked and some of the newly blossomed flowers in the Indoor Garden and other totally and completely normal things like that. Still, the more he thought about it, the warmer his face felt.

He adjusted the cuffs of his jumper again and then sat on his hands to stop fiddling while his knees knocked under the small round table and casting glances toward the door each time the bell chimed... and slinking back down when it wasn’t her.

...he really was a dork complete with full bloom levels of awkward.

When Nyle asked her if she wanted to hang out with him in Hogsmeade, Aurora had obviously agreed. She knew that they would have a great time talking about plants and anything else that they could think of.

Arriving on schedule, she looked around the tea shop until she spotted him. She brightened as she made her way over to join him. "Hey!" she said cheerfully. Though she became confused when he seemed to be a little off. "Everything okay?" Had something happened? Aurora was confused.

Nyle had arranged the table setting three separate times before Aurora even walked in. This time around hiss focus was the vase of flowers. First to the left of the sugar bowl. Then beside the napkin holder. Then centered on the table where it had started out and the blonde found himself facing the issue once again of how this position obstructed the view across the table ― holiday decorations were always unnecessarily extravagant in his opinion.

He was halfway through repositioning it again (read: fussing) when the bells above the shop door jingled and he looked up and his his fidgeting blessedly paused.

"Hey," he returned, voice lighter now, a real smile blooming as she approached. "Me? Yeah. Always!" Nyle said quickly, maybe a little too quickly. "I just...um...uh...um...I think the tea in here might be unusually strong or something, because my hands won’t stop sweating." He gave her a sheepish glance, the words her just uttered slowly catching up with his brain and realizing how little it all made sense. Or maybe it would and he would now have to forever commit to the bit that strong tea and its fumes made his palms sweat.

He stood, belatedly, and just barely avoided knocking his knees against the underside of the table as he did so before he motioned toward the seat across from him like nothing was out of the ordinary. Absolutely noooooooo gleam on his palms from sweat. "I saved us this spot. Thought it looked cozy."

Reassured that Nyle was okay, Aurora smiled and took the seat across from him. She had to admit that she was confused as to why strong tea would make someone sweaty, but she also wasn’t sure why he’d say that to her if it wasn’t true. ”So you drink weaker tea then? Or is something like coffee better?” She was curious. And now thinking about what she wanted to order. She wanted food as well as tea. But what? Definitely nothing with meat. Biting her lip, she scanned the menu, trying to settle on something.

”It’s perfect. It’s nice looking outside at the street with all the snow.” It was pretty. And she was happy to be here with him, though she hoped the tea wasn’t too much for him. ”So how are your plants doing?” She hadn’t been able to see them with him for a little bit because she had been busy. But she knew that they would be doing well with him caring for them.

Well...he really had no choice but to keep up the strong tea facade now.

"Oh, um well, it definitely tea. Haven't really been allowed to have any coffee due to my nervous system is already operating at a high-strung moth in a lantern shop. Mum and dad say coffee would disrupt my sleep cycle and natural circadian rhythm so...yeah," Nyle clarified quickly, fidgeting with the handle of his cup. "Tea is just softer like that, I suppose..." He ducked his head with a sheepish grin. "Maybe here just has...an over-steeped the ginseng blend or something..."

He glanced at the menu but seemed less focused on what he was ordering and more delighted just to sit across from Aurora and admire the way in which the lighting framed her. "I also like this juice blend my mum gets sometimes, yerba mate maracuyá. It's from Argentina and its really floral and tart. Hard to find here... but amazing in summer.... and we as a family go back to Argentina often because it is an important place for mum and dad because mum's Sight has some sort of connection with some specific spots in the country and both of them spent time there serving as healers in remote villages, though never together at the same place. Ironically they were passing ships in the night while they worked over there..." He blinked, suddenly becoming acutely aware that he might be veering into rambling territory once again and gently cleared his throat.


He looked towards the frosted window, following her gaze and admiration, and felt a warmth creep across his cheeks by the whole vibe softened by the lace curtains, light from the street, and especially Aurora's presence.

At her question, his expression brightened further and he was happy to redirect one set of ramblings towards another. "They’re growing! More than expected, actually," he admitted, his fingers lightly tracing the edge of the table and almost walking them across the top of it towards her. "Especially the ones by the window in the indoor garden. I think the light there is doing something strange...but strange in the more wonderful of ways...its like....um....seems to be exponentially encouraging accelerated growth cycles. They’ve taken over the whole windowsill now and really like to grab onto things...but I think that just means they are affectionate and maybe their love language is physical touch."

As Nyle spoke, Aurora nodded. She did notice that he was rather fidgety as it was, so it was definitely best that he didn't have coffee. She could also relate. "I'm the same. I don't really do great with a lot of caffeine." Plus she honestly wasn't a big fan of the taste of coffee. She had to admit that it didn't really make much sense to her that strong tea would do that to someone. But it made even less sense for him to tell her this if it wasn't true. She supposed it was just something unique to him. And she would try to keep it in mind for the future. "Oh, maybe. I can't say that I noticed." But then maybe she was just less sensitive to this than he was.

She was still trying to figure out what she wanted to eat when he started to talk about a juice blend that sounded really nice. She listened to him fondly. She found it endearing how he would start to ramble about things that he was excited about. It was cute. "I'll definitely give it a try if I ever go to Argentina." She smiled and made a mental note of it. "Is her connection to certain spots there because of emotional associations?" She was curious. She did know that his parents were both healers, though she didn't know that they had both worked in Argentina. "Oooh, I'm sure that they both have some really cool stories about working there."

She watched as his excitement grew as he talked about his plants. And as he spoke, her excitement matched his. "That's amazing! I need to see them as soon as I can. I'd love to get some affection from the plants." She hadn't expected them to grow that fast, but she supposed that this was just a part of the whole mysterious plant thing. Either way, she was just happy that she could have some affectionate plant friends
