Default Park Bench


Placed strategically along the north side of the street, there are about five park benches on either side of the street offering a place for the weary to rest their tired feet for a moment. There is one situated between Potage's Cauldron Shop and Slug and Jiggers Apothecary, one between Madam Malkin's and Flourish and Blotts - and then on the opposite side of the street, between Magical Menagerie and Eeylops Owl Emporium, and Quality Quidditch Supplies and Scribbulus Writing Implements. The fifth bench is right before Gringotts Wizarding Bank, clearly placed there to let you know you've reached where the street begins to curve.

Take a seat and take a load off if you like, these benches are the perfect spots to sit and chat with friends while you take a break from shopping, or if you've come from Florean's you might be looking for a spot that you can sit and finish off your ice cream before it melts. Try not to be a bench hog though - if you're here for too long the benches themselves might get sick of you and nudge you off so that somebody else can sit for a while too!

You know, the basics of being able to HUG your teammates after a well fought match and all that. He had even been able to do a bit of traveling with dad who had taken on Stephanie as a kind of apprentice sort for herbology reasons and Derf sometimes tagged along when the ecosystems being explored were particularly saturated with creatures.

So today, today Derf was as close to feeling normal as he could be. Save for that usual wave of anxiety that came when hanging out with Natalie sometimes. It wasn't as bad as before, they had worked through it and the words of Liam and Cameron were nothing more than distant echos in his memory. So today, well, today he was keen on reconnecting. Proper like. And maybe she could help him sort out what ink to get next since she had been there for his first two.

Spotting her easily, and a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips seeing the ice cream, he gently patted the chest pocket on his button up blue plaid shirt to wake Picketta up from her nap and strolled over.

"Hey," he greeted with a boyish red glow to his ears. "Reckon one of those is for me, yeah?"
Natalie's blue eyes wandered the street as people walked by. She enjoyed people watching. People were interesting. But none of them were as cute as Derf. As her eyes wandered, she felt a drip of ice cream land on her hand and quickly lapped it up like a cat just as a familiar figure approached the bench. A grin spread on her face when he arrived.

Natalie held out the cone that, thankfully, hadn't dripped too bad yet. "Yeah. I got your favorite. I think." If her memory served her correctly. She was HOPING that it was his favorite, or that he would at least like it. And since she had both hands to use now, Natalie held her cone and licked another drip that was threatening to fall down to her hand.

Noticing a little leafy green sticking out of Derf's pocket, Natalie leaned in to peer a little closer. "Hi Picketta," Natalie greeted softly. She was fairly certain it would be Picketta, unless Derf was still carrying around the whole colony of Bowtruckles from Hogwarts. "I would have gotten you some ice cream, but they don't make Bowtruckle sized ice cream cones." Swiping her pointer finger through her ice cream, Natalie held a little dollop of it out towards Derf's pocket as a friendly gesture to his companion. "Want to taste? It's strawberry." Her favorite. Did bowtruckles even eat ice cream? Or just wood lice?

'You will be,' she meant it, cos he was so passionate about his job. 'You talk about photography with so much love, you will definitely go a long way,' she said sincerely.

Laila listened carefully as he spoke about his sister in law who worked at Games and Sports. 'Oh..umm..may I ask why she retired?,' she asked quite gingerly as she didn't wanna seem too intrusive. Was there something wrong? Should she look out for something at her new job? She wasn't the kind to make judgements quickly, but she supposed she would like to know.
That was very nice of her. He might have to take her up on the offer too, the more he spoke about going Victor thought maybe he should just take the trip. He was young, no family, what was really holding him back? "I'll keep that in mind." That would mean knowing her longer then just today though and he hadn't even given her a card yet. Patting down his bag he found his cards and handed one over. "This will help find me if you'd like to see your pictures when they are developed."
Maybe she'd want a copy of them.

Smiling, he couldn't help but take pride in her words. He wanted to make a difference with his photography ad he hoped he had been. He had even been giving some free sessions to families that might not be able to afford them. "Well thank you. You know if you'd like you could see some of my photographs. I have some here in my bag, but more at the shop." He wasn't sure if she'd like to come or if she was busy, but he could ask.

"Oh, I'm not fully sure, but I think with the kids getting older she wanted to teach them instead of getting a tutor. I honestly think their plan was to move, but my brother got the job at the prophet so they didn't." He knew Jorge was planning on moving to Brazil, but he had never really asked his sister in law.

It. Was. HOT.

Like very very VERY hot!

It was probably because of this that Lucas chose to sit outside today. And because almost everywhere inside was full and the last thing he wanted to do was have to sit next to someone he didn't know. Sitting by himself was fine but trying to make conversation with a random stranger? No no no.

So, the young Gryffindor came out here, to this little park bench that had a little bit of shade on it. He sat down as carefully as he could, trying hard not to spill the bowl of ice cream he was clutching in his hands. It was ice cream but being out in the sun had made the contents melt and now he had..... soup. A great big mushy soup of strawberry and jam and some chocolate chip pieces that were floating around.

He wrinkled his nose slightly and held the bowl right up to his face and.....

...... uh........

......... sluuuuuuuuurp!

Whew... man it was hot, like really hot and she was miserable and her clothes sweaty! Yuck.... and more yuck! She hated being sweaty and stinky.


Walking through the part with her icecream cup in her hands she headed towards the park bench for some peace and quiet. Plus the inside of the shop was so crowded that their wasn't any spots, and outside of the shop didn't look any better. Walking around she seen a bench with someone she haven't seen in awhile and smiled. Oh man she haven't seen him since school, she wondered how he was, well better find out. "Lucas!" she called to him smiling at him.


Stella was a bit more tanned due to spending time in America over the summer. "Hi how are you, did you have a good summer?" she asked him. "Oh.. may I?" she asked pointing to the bench beside him. Looking at her icecream she frowned at the chocolate and strawberry soup that was now in her cup. "Looks like we got ice cream soup, but at least it's cold some." she said giggling.

Sluuuuuuur-

........

Lucas froze. His eyes were wide and he was still sitting there with his bowl of ice cream now sitting against his top lip. But that didn't matter because, uh..... someone had called his name. His name! It wasn't...... an uncommon name but if they were calling to him.......

..... was it getting hard to breathe in here?

He lowered his bowl slowly. There was a small line of ice cream above his upper lip but that didn't register in the twelve year old's brain as he looked around to see who was talking to him and, more importantly, if he was in some kind of trouble and and-

"Stella!"

He gave her a small wave, the breathing now becoming a lot easier and a smile spreading across his face. "Yeah, come sit," he said, giving the seat a small pat. It was someone he knew, so that made this whole, uh, conversation thing a lot easier. Very easy. "Yeah, summer was good. Great, even. No homework, eh?" Which was MUCH better. "And it was nice to see everyone again. I mean..... Hogwarts is nice but it's nice to be home too."

"How was your summer? You look...... different," he blurted out before he could stop himself. ...... Was that the right thing to say? It didn't sound like it. He tried not to shuffle or concentrate on how sweaty his palms were getting. Maybe he could just.... keep talking? Yeah. "I mean, you look like, uh..... like you've been in the sun a lot. Did you go to the beach?"

At the mention of the ice cream soup, his green eyes wandered down to her bowl of soup and he snorted. "Yeah, at least. It's a shame but I'd hate to have hot ice cream soup. Not in this weather."

Stella smiled back. "Oops... I didn't mean to freak you out, are you ok?"" she asked looking at him worried. She knew what it was like to have panic attacks, it wasn't a pretty picture. Sitting down beside him she brushed her straight hair out of her eyes, maybe she should've put up in a ponytail or so, it was sticking to the back of her neck. She nodded. "Yeah and no push ups or running either!" she said remembering last terms events. "That's for sure, after the term we had I was glad to go home and have some fun." It was sad but she had more fun this summer then she had all year at Hogwarts.


She giggled. "Is that in a good way or a bad way?" she asked him grinning. She nodded and smiled. "Yeah I went to America for the summer, went to New York and California which was amazing!" she remembering how much fun she had. "How was your summer?" she asked him curiously. She was curious to know how all her friends summers went as well.


She laughed. "Yeah you and me both, it's too hot to have anything hot right now." she said shaking her head. Looking at her bowl she looked at Lucas. "Cheers!" she said before putting the bowl up to her lips before she slurped it up.

Laila took the card and read it. 'Sure, I shall. And do you really? Why don't you show them to me?,' she asked enthusiastically, with respect to the pictures. 'Hey..why don't we go and check out your shop?,' she asked. She really wanted to see the other photographs he had clicked cos he seemed really good.

Laila relaxed as he explained why his sister in law had resigned. Honestly, she had been worried that it had been something to do with the department. 'Oh okay,' she said, relieved.

Offering her a bit of a lingering grin in appreciate, he looked at the ice cream cone and struggled to recall the last time that he had properly sat down and had one. It was almost embarrassing how long it took for him to remember Jessa and their annual ice cream dates in the summer. Those truly seemed like a lifetime ago since they hadn't been able to have one last summer and, well, he wasn't too sure about what was going to happen this summer with her graduating and moving on and everything.

He himself being pretty busy with other things too.

"Thanks," he repeated again, somewhat distractedly but still appreciatively, before using his tongue to swirl all the way around the base of it to catch any drippings that threatened to fall on to his hand. And an almost peaceful kind of smile graced his sun-kissed features.

Hearing her words, his gaze naturally dropped to his pocket and the bowtruckle who had now peeked her head out to greet the Slytherin properly. "Nah, that's okay," he mused, not even thinking about things as he leaned forward to lick that little bit of strawberry ice cream off Natalie's finger. "Picketta doesn't like cold things anyway." Though he was sure she appreciated the gesture. Or, well, he was going to pretend that she did.

Though he was sure she appreciated the gesture. Or, well, he was going to pretend that she did.
Natalie and Derf hadn't really done ice cream together very often, but it sounded like a good idea. She had been looking forward to spending time with him outside of the castle and in a (hopefully) less stressful environment. Just good, basic, casual time together. That was what friends did. Licking some excess strawberry ice cream off her upper lip, she smiled. "Anytime." Ice cream or just company, she was always available for him.

Her eyes were on him and he seemed a little distracted, she noticed. Which is why, when he thanked her again, she just smiled and returned her attention back to Picketta. She was still trying to get on her good side.

Apparently she didn't like cold things, but... well, Derf apparently did. Her eyebrows raised slightly when Derf cleaned the strawberry ice cream off her finger instead of the Bowtruckle. Then she pressed her lips together, stifling a laugh as her cheeks turned a light shade of pink. How very Derf of him, to lick her finger without second thought and without any inkling of an idea that it was not what people who weren't dating did. But that was Derf. He didn't care. And Natalie liked that.

She also liked how he looked in the sun. He looked more lively. His blonde hair was radiant and shiny. He looked happier. "You look good," she remarked after a moment, returning her hand to her lap. She had been staring at him for a good while now, so she diverted her eyes and returned her attention to her ice cream cone.

She nodded and smiled. "Oh... no, you're not in trouble with me or anything, but I understand. " she said smiling at him. She knew tue feeling of someone calling her name and thinking that she was in trouble, her whole name shd knew she was in trouble for sure.


She shivered a bit remembering last term, all the pushups, all the laps and rules. She just hoped that this year was better, although Professor Marchand said that he could get her into Beauxbatons with one letter. If was like it was like it was last term again she was going to write to him. "I'm sure this term will be better than last term was, we can only hope!" she said biting her lip. She couldn't believe they were going to be second years, wow.... almost teenagers.


Stopped giggling she smiled at him. "Why thanks, guess the sun done me some good." she said shrugging. Seeing the 'oh" on his face she giggled once again. "It was awesome, I had so much fun there I would go back." That was sure she had so much fun there at the ocean and stuff, she wanted to go back there during the summer times. "Hey... hanging out with family is always fun, oh really? that sounds like fun." Looking down at her ice cream she frowned once again, she liked summer but she didn't like her icecream melting in her cup, yuck!


Wrinkling her nose she looked at Lucas. "It's not bad, but it would be better if it wasn't melted. " she said honestly. It could be worse, it could be hot and gross, at least it was still cold.

Licking some excess strawberry ice cream off her upper lip, she smiled. "Anytime." Ice cream or just company, she was always available for him.

Her eyes were on him and he seemed a little distracted, she noticed. Which is why, when he thanked her again, she just smiled and returned her attention back to Picketta. She was still trying to get on her good side.

Apparently she didn't like cold things, but... well, Derf apparently did. Her eyebrows raised slightly when Derf cleaned the strawberry ice cream off her finger instead of the Bowtruckle. Then she pressed her lips together, stifling a laugh as her cheeks turned a light shade of pink. How very Derf of him, to lick her finger without second thought and without any inkling of an idea that it was not what people who weren't dating did. But that was Derf. He didn't care. And Natalie liked that.

She also liked how he looked in the sun. He looked more lively. His blonde hair was radiant and shiny. He looked happier. "You look good," she remarked after a moment, returning her hand to her lap. She had been staring at him for a good while now, so she diverted her eyes and returned her attention to her ice cream cone.
Shushing Picketta through his own chattering teeth, Derf patted her leaves and encouraged her to tuck herself back into his pocket for a bit more. She was incredibly cranky when she didn't get her beauty sleep and with the family getting a new dog, a puppy, who had taken a particular interest in the bowtruckles...she was especially tired these days. Derf had tried explaining to them that running around and away from the puppy only encouraged it to chase after them and laying still on the ground pretending to be a stick was a better option - he had thankfully trained the puppy enough not to CHEW on any sticks while playing fetch - and they could all play together...but the bowtruckle family was having none of it. Save for one who rather enjoyed being levitated around the yard and had even fashioned itself a cape out of rose petals and spider web.

Pleased when Picketta did offer Natalie a wave before descending back inside the fabric, Derf was a bit taken aback by her comment. "I...um...thanks," he grinned a bit sheepishly, ruffling his hair a bit and fluffing it up as a result. "I feel better. I reckon. Got another tattoo to cover up another scar...so that helped a bit also." He had gone with Chloe this time for that and this one was on his left wrist, the fang of a creature, just above the ulna bone and was in perfect view to Natalie where she sat. "Little anxious about going back to Hogwarts given, well, everything but...you know...kinda ready to see it through to the end." Licking a bit more off his ice cream cone, and noticing the pinkish hue to her cheeks, Derf bowed his head to suck some that had fallen on to his wrist and then ventured a glance back in her direction. "You seem loads happier than the last time I saw you. Reckon summer has been treating you well then?"

"You seem loads happier than the last time I saw you. Reckon summer has been treating you well then?"
It felt like she was smiling more than she had in quite a while. Nat usually had a smile or two to spare here and there, but... this felt good. Summer felt good. And Picketta had waved at her, so she was REALLY happy about that. She gave the little creature a grin as she went back inside of Derf's pocket, presumably to nap again. What a dream. Nat wished she could nap inside Derf's pocket too.

She watched Derf's signature hair ruffle and licked more ice cream from her cone. When he mentioned another tattoo, and on his wrist, her eyes went right to it as he kept on talking. She reached out and brushed her thumb across his wrist gently as another small smile flashed across her lips. Then she returned her hand to her cone. She knew how much these tattoos meant to him and she was glad that he was doing what made him feel good.

"I'm nervous too," she commented. She was nervous for NEWTs and what universities she would get into. She was nervous about being a prefect... which Derf still didn't know about. But he would soon. At his last comment, Natalie smiled faintly and nibbled a bit of cone. "I feel happier. Home always helps. As does the sun." Hogwarts was wonderful (sometimes), but she missed her home and her parents awfully when she was away. And last term had just been quite draining.

Natalie took another bite of her dwindling cone and slid her hand back to hover over her left pocket. "And, erm... I got something in the mail this summer that helped..." Reaching into her pocket, Natalie grasped the cool metal that resided within and pulled out the shiny green badge that the school had sent after the previous term had ended. A proud smile shone on her face as she held the badge face up for Derf to see.

SEE? DID HE SEE? WAS HE PROUD?

It was an unseasonably warm day that Foster intended to take full advantage of. His body not only craved the vitamin d, but his soul needed the recharge. Although the busyness of Diagon Alley in the summer was energizing, the peacefulness of the late fall holiday season was his favorite. He loved to watch the shoppers hurry in and out with their packages, catching bits and pieces of holiday plans.

After grabbing a cup of black tea, he made his way to the bench to do some sunning and people watching.

The past several months had been hard for Gaston. Leaving Hogwarts had left him with a broken heart that never quite healed. There were still some days he wanted to cry at the injustice of his circumstances. Some days he was so angry, he wanted nothing to do with the wizarding world, but most of the time, he just felt lost. He'd found a new home and a new job, but it wasn't the same. He didn't know what to do with himself without a gaggle of students to love and nurture, and not a day went by that he didn't think about the ones he left behind!

The feelings never went away; he was just better at hiding them some days than others. Fortunately, today was one of his better days, so he'd come to Diagon Alley on his day off to do some shopping. A certain little lady had a birthday coming up, and a shopping trip was just the thing to give him some idea of what she wanted! Gaston beamed at the little dark-haired girl at his side holding on to his hand. This time with her was the only silver lining he saw in his situation!


Hop, hop, hop! Desiree bounced up and down excitedly, her favorite doll (a Beast/Prince doll painted to look like her dad) dangling limply from the hand that wasn't holding her dad's. Shopping with Daddy was fun! Mummy only ever wanted boring things like food and clothes, but shopping with Daddy meant toys! Ooh, maybe she could find a friend for her Daddy-Beast doll! "Daddy, come ooooon!" she begged, pulling on his arm as hard as she could.

She broke free of his grip and dashed down the street, stopping short of the park bench. Oh, look! There's a guy! She waved at him with both hands, dropping her doll in the process. Hiiiiiii!


And... she was off. "Desiree, come back!" Gaston called, his cane click-clacking on the pavement as he ran after his daughter. He caught up to her by the park bench and soon saw she wasn't alone. He didn't know whether to laugh or panic when he saw her waving at a stranger! Not every man was as tolerant of children as he was, so there was no telling how he might react. "Sorry about-" Gaston began, giving the man an apologetic look, but his expression brightened as he recognized him. "Foster?"

As he sat, sipping his tea, he noticed a young lady, doll in hand, bolting towards him. For just a moment his stomach dropped, wondering where her adult could be, but her bright smile and joyous wave wiped away any sense of dread. Waving back he announced, "You have dropped your doll, young lady." As he spoke, he could hear a clack clack sound headed their way and he looked up just in time to see a familiar face.

"Gaston! My dear friend, so wonderful to see you. Is this your darling that's so eager to play today?" Foster slid over to make room on the bench. "Please have a seat and let me know how you are doing." His day could not have been better. Of all the people he had the pleasure of getting to know the previous year, Gaston was one he truly missed. It had broken his heart to see how they had treated him, one of the many reasons for his new position in the Ministry. He was going to be sure that such a thing would never happen again.

Tessa was out with the baby doing a little shopping. Sure, her husband was always willing to pick things up since he was in the area way more often, it was actually nice to have a little quality time with her baby boy.

She took a seat on the bench and moved the stroller so she was eye level and facing Nikita.

And then proceeded to play peek a boo because that was the most fun thing to do with little babies.

Oh, there was Daddy! He was too slow! Desiree giggled as she saw her dad coming toward her. “Clack, clack, clack,” she mimicked the sound. Daddy's stick made funny noises! There were more giggles for the guy who waved back at her, but her expression turned serious at what he said. Blink, blink. What did he mean? She didn't - She looked down and saw Daddy-Beast laying on the ground. “Uh oh, Daddy-Beast fall down!”

She started to pick the doll up, but Daddy handed it to her first. “Daddy-Beast gots boo-boos,” she said. She hugged the doll tight to her chest and gave it a kiss on the cheek. “All better!” While she was hugging Daddy-Beast, Daddy hugged her, but he looked sad. Desiree frowned. She didn’t like when Daddy was sad! She gave him the biggest hug she could, and he smiled. Maybe he was okay then?

Then he sat on the bench next to the guy, who he said was his friend. Good, Daddy needed friends… even if they did talk about boring grown-up stuff all the time! She giggled when Daddy told her to say hi. Silly Daddy! She already did that! [/B]“Hiiiii!”[/B] she said, waving at him again. Then her expression turned inquisitive. If he and Daddy were friends, did that mean he was a ‘fessor like Daddy? “You a ‘fessor too?”



Gaston smiled at his friend and former colleague, a smile that turned into a laugh when Foster asked if Desiree was his child. “Yes, this is my Desiree,” he said, nodding toward the small dark-haired girl beside him. “What gave it away?” he joked. She was like a tiny female version of himself. They had the same black hair, the same blue eyes, and the same kind heart… or so he was told. He believed she inherited her kindness from her mother instead.

He knelt beside his daughter, picking up her fallen doll and handing it back to her. “So he did,” he said with a laugh. “Can you think of anything to help poor Daddy-Beast feel better?” His heart swelled with pride as he watched Desiree hug and kiss the scarred side of the doll’s face; then as quickly as it came, hispride gave way to overwhelming panic. This world could be a dark and cruel place - he’d seen that firsthand - and Desiree was so full of sweetness and light. What if the world one day drained all her kindness until she became just as broken as him? Overwhelmed with emotion, he hugged his daughter. “That's my kind girl,” he whispered. He saw her frown and realized she must've seen the sadness reflected in his eyes. He gave her a reassuring smile, and only when she smiled back did he stop hugging her. As he did, he noticed Desiree staring at Foster. “Desiree, this is my friend, Foster Davis,” he said. “Can you say hi?”

It was only when Gaston finished talking to his daughter that he realized how odd that doll's name probably sounded out of context. “My mother repainted a Beauty and the Beast doll to look like me to help Desiree get used to…” he explained, gesturing to the scars on his face as he sat beside Foster. “So she calls it Daddy-Beast.” His expression darkened slightly at Foster's question. “It's been hard, but I'm… getting by.” What other choice did he have? “I have a new home, new job, and hopefully soon a new son.”

He pulled a photo of a dark-haired boy of about six out of his jacket pocket and handed it to Foster. “His name is Adam. Rose and I filed for adoption over the summer.”

Bright blue eyes scanned the Alley. From his bench, the Bats Chaser had an excellent view of the comings and goings. Although his form seemed laid back and easy, those eyes betrayed the excitement that bubbled inside of him. Quidditch fever had certainly taken over the Wizarding World once more and Leontius had been pinching himself ever since he'd been selected to represent his country.

The England jersey was what he'd been working towards his whole life. Since he first picked up a broom. It was what he'd been destined to wear. Even in this rare moment of downtime it was what he was thinking about. A moment alone to muse on how difficult the next few weeks were going to be. They were an excellent team. They had an excellent coaching staff. But so did other countries. The World Cup tournament wasn't going to be a walk in the park, but that was okay. Leontius thrived on the challenge.

A giggling, pointing child. A Bats fan, or were others recognising him now? He gave a salute in the direction of the child as they passed by and the bright blue eyes seemed even brighter.

After a long day out in Diagon Alley, mingling and buying whatever it was that tickled his fancy. Lamberto felt his fine chocolate brown eyes heavy with exhaustion and a long deep yawn coming. In need of a nap to be honest. Scanning his surroundings the Quidditch player located an empty bench to sit on and rest for a little while before heading home.

Quidditch had been taking up most of his time from practice to all the frenzy going on surrounding the sport! It was quite fascinating and a huge honor to be a part of it all.

Sitting down he let out a sigh of content and relaxation. Lamberto's thoughts started to drift off into space or so it seemed, from the relaxed feeling and peaceful state of mind he was in.

Daphne had a day off, and whenever she had a day off, she wanted to spend it with her baby girl. It still had only seemed like yesterday that Penelope was born, but now she was already three years old. Walking, babbling on about her toy bunnies, and basically an adult. She really had a mind of her own, now. Which was fun, but also... slightly irritating at times. She was definitely her mother's daughter.

After gathering a few things from a couple shops, Daphne pushed her stroller down the alley, only to stop it part way because Penelope had started throwing a fit about wanting to walk.

"Alright, alright, calm down. I'll let you out." Stopping her stroller near the bench where another mother sat, Daphne went around unbuckled Penelope from her seat. But then Penelope was distracted by the baby boy sat on the lap of the woman on the bench... and was staring.

Why her mother insisted she came to London was beyond her. Nina was much happier at home on her own, where the likelihood of running into the likes of Smelloise was nonexistent. What she wouldn't complain about, however, was the unmatched access to literature that Flourish and Botts offered... But she had already made all of her purchases and she hardly had any desire to venture into other shops. Especially not on her own.

And so, here she was.

Sitting on a bench, watching passerbyers and """"""reading"""""" a recent copy of witch weekly. (Un)surprisingly, the content was the same as the last issue, nothing new. Justine Janvier was seen with some person. Alice and West were still the it couple. Several new faces in the Professional Quidditch league. Plenty of spreads on the World Cup.

Honestly, why did she still bother to pretend liking this rubbish?

But she had already made all of her purchases and she hardly had any desire to venture into other shops. Especially not on her own.

And so, here she was.

Sitting on a bench, watching passerbyers and """"""reading"""""" a recent copy of witch weekly. (Un)surprisingly, the content was the same as the last issue, nothing new. Justine Janvier was seen with some person. Alice and West were still the it couple. Several new faces in the Professional Quidditch league. Plenty of spreads on the World Cup.

Honestly, why did she still bother to pretend liking this rubbish?
Drewett had always looked forward to summer after an entirely weird term at Hogwarts, and weird was probably an understatement because, if anything, that school was bonkers. It started off well before those furry pink creatures, while they were rather cute from a distance of five metres, started chomping on house tables and professors. The Ravenclaw had thought many times about letting himself be homeschooled at the Stemp House because of things, but he always found reasons to just want to come back. Like the library, with its wide array of literature. The astronomy tower, with the view of the grounds that was absolutely breath-taking from above. And most importantly, his friends. He wouldn't trade anything for the bonds he'd made at that bloody school. Hogwarts did him pretty well in that aspect.

He had ended up in Diagon Alley because Drewett realized he needed a new pair of trousers. Again. While growing up was nice with the perks and all, the fifteen-year-old hated the part where he needed to buy new everything. It was getting quite inconvenient, let's be real. But once he had that ticked off his to-do list, which was literally just that, he didn't know what else to do. He considered buying ice cream for a moment as he navigated through the high street until he saw a very familiar face by the bench and decided to make his way there. "Anything interesting?" He smiled a little and asked, one hand holding the paper bag from Madam Malkin's and the other tucked inside his pocket. He was a tad more confident now. Speech therapy was working better on him this summer.

Also... "May I sit?"

Her mother wasn't going to hear the end of it when she returned from her trip. Nina was SO unamused... Until approximately three seconds ago, when her little eyes spied one Drewett Slinkhard. And now, she was amused. If amused were to mean that her heart-rate quickened just a bit and her eyes lit up and her head ducked within the pages of the magazine that she didn't actually care about.

Merlin forbid a boy actually saw her paying attention.

"Depends on what catches your interest," she slowly lowered the magazine, her cheeks rosy. Fortunately her long hair was covering her ears because the red would be an absolute giveaway.

She took a moment to compose herself, shifting on the bench slightly to make room for him before looking up at him and smiling a little. "Of course you may, Drewett Slinkhard."

Drewett Slinkhard. Drewett. Slinkhard. Each had two syllables. You know what other word had two syllables? Sunshine. Drewett Slinkhard was much like sunshine. The kind of radiant that didn't make a big deal about itself. One that you always wanted around, even if it was only poking through the clouds. One you were always grateful for.

Honestly, if only Drewett knew of the good things and thoughts one Nina Castillo had about him, he probably wouldn't able to handle them without turning into a blushing mess himself. But then, that wasn't at all surprising because Drewett P. Slinkhard was most of the time, if not always, a blushing mess. She spoke so highly of him, and he appreciated it a whole lot.

What did catch his interest? Books, cubes, owls, nice hair and eyebrows, sweets, printed socks. It was a list that Nina probably knew by now since they'd spent quite a lot of time together at Hogwarts, not including that one time she used his shirt (that he was wearing, mind you) to blow her nose. "I-It was more of if you found something interesting in th-that magazine, Nina...." Because he wanted to know what she thought, as he wasn't even a reader of Witch Weekly.

And with her permission, he gladly took a seat beside her, placing the paper bag on the floor between his feet. "What b-brings you here today?" Surely she didn't come all the way to the Alley from Alicante to simply read her copy of Witch Weekly, yes?
