Main Street, Hogsmeade
 

Meet up with your friends before heading over to the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer, browse the windows of the shops as you pass by, interact with students from other houses, and just have fun in the streets of Hogsmeade.

Alexandra went trotting down the street in Hogsmeade, trying to figure out where she wanted to visit first. It was in fact her first solo trip into the village and it seemed to be deserted... which was unsettling indeed. She pulled her scarf tighter around her neck and walked at a slow pace, thinking... and watching.

Lexi started and spun around when Lrcan grabbed her waist. She cracked a crooked smile and said, "Hey Nems. I have missed you too."

She shoved her hands into the pockets of her pink peacoat and she said, "Where have you been hiding? Haven't seen much of you lately. Of course I have been staying a lot in my common room so that could be why." She was rambling and she knew it, but she was in a bit of a slump and it was hitting her hard. She began to scrub the toe of her boot in the dirt and sighed heavily.

Lorcan glanced around, but he couldn't see anyone else. He grabbed Lexi's hand and pulled her into the entrance of an alleyway between two of the shops. Quickly and tentatively, he kissed her.

He pulled back blushing. "I've been wanting to do that since you were babbling about being Lady Alexa and I had to tell you I was Duke O'Farrell." He looked at her.

"I've been avoiding everyone too. Unfortunately there are lots of everyones to get past so that I can see you." He hugged her tight, as though she might vanish.

Evelyn walked gracefully, but cautiously, through Hogsmeade. I shouldn't have come here alone, but I didn't know who to ask.

A big gust of wind came past and blew her scarf off her shoulders. Evelyn gasped and groaned at the same time as the wind begun dragging the scarf down the street. She chased after it, but Evelyn's dainty legs weren't built for running. The smart thing to do would have been to get her wand out and levitate the scarf back, but Evelyn's hands were busy wrapping her coat around her frame and keeping her beanie on her head.

Lexi blushed furiously when Lorcan kissed her and pulled away. But... then he had to go and bring up the blasted pumpkin juice incident and that made her sad all over again. "Yeah, let's not talk about my mishap, could you. I am still a bit... irked by that situation." she said with a griamce before she averted her gaze.

Lexi returned his hug whole heartedly and nodded. "Yes, there are a lot of people in this place... sometimes I just wish I could disappear." she said in a small voice. "Where would you like to visit? The Hog's Head is open to students now if you'd like to go have a butterbeer in there." she offered, trying to get out of the wind.

Dylan had put on his smart shirt. And a waistcoat. He was still wearing a nice pair of jeans. Just to make the outfit more casual. He had contemplated a tie. But that might've been a bit too much.

He pulled down on the tails of his waistcoat, as he nervously walked down the street. He had asked Gold to see him. But would she show?

He caught a glint of red in the crowd. He wanted to pounce on her back. But that would be a bit much. "Um hi Gold," he smiled, tapping her on the shoulder. "Good to see you again."

Hayden wandered through Hogsmeade. It was such an amazing village. She hadn't thought to ask anyone and was now feeling the effects of not having anyone to enjoy the experience with. Sighing over her feelings of loneliness, Hayden looked out into the crowd, spotting a familiar head. Running up behind her third year friend she squeezed her tightly around the waist."Hey Ev, what are you running for?" she asked, smiling magnificently.

Ginny was walking through the main street of Hogsmeade. She saw all of the snow covered all over the shops. She didn't invite anyone to go with her as she sat down on a seat which was unoccupied.

It was probably the second Hogsmeade trip they were allowed to go there. Though, Annie had no meaning of being there, not even to go down to the lake and thave a little fun playing soccer.

What was with her? First it was just the journal missing and all that would probably come out to spotlight, but now this...the whole sparks flying whenever she touched...Drew.

Sigh. This couldn't be happening. She couldn't be falling for him...it just seemed absolutely wonderful for her.

And that's what she realized as she walked along the main street at Hogsmeade.

Evelyn's desperate pursuit was halted by someone grabbing her around the waist, "Woah!" She almost fell backwards on top of...Hayden! Evelyn laughed and leaned forward with exhaustion, watching her scarf blow further away. "It's my scarf. It's so windy today."

Evelyn stood upright again, having an idea. "Wait." She reached into the pocket of her coat and pulled out her new wand. "Accio," she spoke as clearly as she could manage. Her scarf came flying back across the road and straight into her hand. She wrapped it around her neck again, more securely this time.

"So, this is Hogsmeade! I don't even know where to go first! Where do you want to go? The Three Broomsticks looks very nice." Walking along the street with Hayden at her side, Evelyn looked over to the side of the street and saw someone sitting down alone. "Is that Ginny?" Evelyn wondered aloud to Hayden.

Torin... was majorly preoccupied.

Not only was he faced with homework assignments, but he also had to figure out a way to give Annie back her diary. And then there was the even bigger issue of his feelings for Brody. Because ever since that walk in the pathway, he wanted to tell her more than ever that he just wanted her to forget about Jorma and get back with him. But he knew that he couldn't do that because it wasn't right.

And then he crashed right into someone walking in the opposite direction.

"Oh hey, nice summoning charm Ev," Hayden said cheerfully, "Three Broomsticks sounds great by the way, I really want to taste a butterbeer. OMIGOSH! Ginny," Hayden rushed over to her friend pulling Evelyn along behind her. "Gin, what are you doing here all by yourself? Come to the Three Broomsticks with us. You must be freezing!"

Ouch...

Her nose had just bumped into someone's body. And GOD, it was hurting from hell itself. Who could have enough strong abs to hurt her nose that badly. It seemed, as she looked up that only Torin Kane could. Geez. Another person she couldn't keep her mind off, as well.

As she held her tongue from bleeding, if it could be possible, she looked back at Torin's worried expression. What was with him? "I'm sorry...I was distracted...Perdon..." She spoke Spanish again, feeling nervous made her do such things.

OUCH!

"Sorry!" he called out at the same time that she apologized. But at least it had been Annie, and not some stranger. Even though now he was all sore just the same.

"Are you alright?"

"About my nose, yes...I'm fine. It won't bleed...right?" Annie tried to make a joke out of it, though she had no luck. She was not in the mood. For Merlin's sake, she was falling in love. "Other things, I...just don't know..." She confessed, feeling like she needed to talk to someone, like Torin.

Although it seemed like the boy needed someone to hear about his problems. "You don't seem alright to me...is something bothering you lately?" Odd, ironic...obvious. It was that something was really making Torin have that un-lively expression of his.

He had to laugh despite the awkwardness. At least she would live. He didn't want to have hurt her nose. Because man, that could be painful!

And she had noticed that he looked preoccupied... "I've.. had something on my mind for a few days now. And you have too from the look of it." Unless she was only looking that way because he had hurt her.

Sadly to Torin, yes...hurting her nose would be enough painful to send the prefect to the Moon and back, with just a kick of those she makes when playing soccer. But no time to think about that. Her nose would be killing her during the night. Didn't matter, anyways.

"You know you can trust me, Kane..." And that's something that stuck to her while living for a few days with Emiliano and Diana, addressing to people by their last names. "Tell me..." She said, now standing elbow to shoulder in their case and starting to walk along his path, to wherever it took them.

And he was right. Something...in fact, someone has been in her mind lately. Drew Sparks. Gryffindor Fifth Year. Sigh. "...heart issues..." She pointed at her heart, then at her head, making a twitch with her mouth.

Okay, he was feeling like he had no choice on the matter here. Because if he didn't tell her, she might think that he didn't trust her. And he really did.

"Well..." UGH. This was hard for him to open up about!

But at the mention of her heart issues it suddenly became a lot easier.

"I just feel so tempted to tell Brody to dump her boyfriend already and get back with me. But I know that it's just jealousy speaking, because she loves him now."

He sighed, feeling a bit better for saying that.

Evelyn smiled when Hayden complimented her on her summoning spell. She would have blushed too, but her pale cheeks were already flushed pink from the cold. "Thank you. Darcy told me to practice that one a lot, he says it comes in real handy. I guess he's right. This is my favourite scarf, I would really hate to lose it."

After Hayden confirmed that it was indeed Ginny sitting on the wooden bench, Evelyn found herself being pulled over by the arm, almost tripping over Hayden's feet.

"Hey there, Weasley. What are doing over here? No one wants to spend a winter day in Hogsmeade alone. You should come with us. Unless you're waiting for someone..."

Heart issues as well, eh? Annie took a breath of relief as Torin spoke. He talked about Brody and him, wanting her to dump her boyfriend, jealousy speaking, he confessed.

"...and you hold your thoughts to yourself, why?" Torin had to give a reason, besides the fact being jealous. "Love is filled with puddles, that experience by experience, gives us a lesson to not fall in there anymore. Things will get easier, you just have to let time take you...not force things to happen..." Whoa, where did that come from? Had she been eating fortune cookies, NOPE...not that she remembered.

Ummm... He was confused now. All he really got from this was that love is like a puddle.

"Yeah, I dunno. Just after we walked in the pathway and I carried her and gave her flowers..." He paused for a moment. "I really do know that she loves me. It just that I'm not normally a jealous person..."

He didn't like this feeling at all.

"Jealousy, a puddle...like those I'm talking about. If you know that she loves you, then why are you holding yourself?" Annie asked, still getting hold of her nose. It was hurting...but no complaints. It was her fault as well.

She took a deep breath and looked up at Torin. "Just relax, think this...and if she's worth all of your worries, all of your heart beats, go for it..." Annie said, keeping up from the walk. PHEW...

He was starting to feel a bit better just by talking to her. "You know, you're really starting to help me feel better. I will just wait and see... Though I still want to tell her to dump him." But he wouldn't because that was unfair and unlike him. He knew that she was happy, and he didn't want to ruin it for her. Because he cared more about her happiness than his own.

"Oh... hi Hayden and Ev", said Ginny with a bit of a sigh. "No I'm not waiting for anyone. I was just looking around for a bit", said Ginny. She thought that she had done terrible in the Quidditch Tryouts. Three Broomsticks, that would be awesome", said Ginny trying not to think of the tryouts.

"Well, come on then." Evelyn grabbed Ginny's hands and pulled her up off the seat. Linking arms with her two friends, she escorted them in the direction of The Three Broomsticks. She noticed that Ginny wasn't looking as happy as she usually did. "You okay, Gin? Is everything going alright with school?"

Luna walked down the street and saw Ginny standing there with some other girls. "Hey!" she yelled enthusiastically. She smiled widely and ran to them. "How did your Quidditch try-outs go? I couldn't come. I was ill," she said. "What were you guys planning to do?" she then asked.

Lorcan looked at her and frowned. "What's wrong? You seem so sad." He tentatively took her hand and squeezed it. "You can tell me." He smiled at her softly

"The Hog's Head? Is that not the dodgy one? Is this an adventure I smell brewing?" He got a wicked glint in his eye. He hoped that he could cheer her up a little.

Elisabeta wandered out of the school gates and into Hogsmeade she smiled to herself and looked about to decide where to go she saw Honeydukes and thought she would leave that to last because well she knew that she wouldnt be sending any sweets home because it would give away where she was to her parents

So this was the famous Hogmeade.

Tyler wandered the streets of it, hoping to find at least someone he knew. But Kitty wasn't going to be here since she was a late sleeper and too lazy. Lucy was probably still tired from try-outs. Cadence...well, the story sells itself to him. She was gonna be with Nate 24/7. Ty shrugged and continued walking. The cold weather was finally coming around.

Yay!

Not really noticing where he was going, Tyler bumped into someone. "Oh, my bad," he said and looked up. The girl looked older so he guessed she must've been probably a sixth or seventh year.

Elisabeta felt somebody bump into her and said "No problem" The boy was a Ravenclaw and looked about 4th or a 5th year and said "I'm Elisabeta but everyone calls me Lis for short" Elisabeta held out her hand for the boy to shake

"Alright, Lis," Tyler smiled and shook her hand. "I'm Tyler, but you can call me whatever nickname you can get from it," he laughed. most common nickname he had was Ty. But it was too plain for him. He wanted something more coool.

Elisabeta smiled and said "Nice to meet you Tyler and i will try to think of a good nickname, so what brings you to Hogsmeade today?" Elisabeta felt at home now that she had quite a few friends and was beginning to worry less about her parents tracking her down

"Cool," Ty laughed and put his hands into his pockets like always. "I'm a transfer student so I've never seen this place before," he explained. But he was sure glad to be at Hogwarts now. "So what about you?" he asked Lis.

Elisabeta smiled and said "Yeah i am a transfer student myself so i wanted to see Hogsmeade for myself after hearing so much about it" Elisabeta was glad that she wasnt the only transfer at Hogwarts

"Walk with me," Ty nudged his head and chuckled. So he wasn't the only transfer student here and wasn't alone in not visiting Hogsmeade. "So where did you transfer from?"

Elisabeta walked with Tyler and said "I just transferred from Drumstrang what about yourself Tyler" Elisabeta was glad that she wasnt worrying about her parents cause she would deal with them in her own time and her own special way

Lexi smiled a bit at Lorcan and said, "I don't really want to talk about it, Nems. It's silly anyway." She again pulled at her Gryffindor scarf and shifted her weight from left foot to right foot.

"Yes, the Hog's Head is a bit dodgy, but I think it would be fun. How about it Lorcan?" she said as she held out her hand for him to take so she could lead the way.

"I'm actually a transfer student from America," Tyler explained as he kicked a small pebble on the ground. "That school wasn't working out for me so my parents dropped me off here," he shook his head. Well they did. His parents stayed in America and Tyler now had to live with his aunt.

Elisabeta nodded and said "That is okay i suppose, i ran away from home so my parents don't even know im here they think im at Drumstrang for my last year"

"Ohhhhhhh," Tyler exclaimed. So his new friend was a runaway.

Coooooooooooool.

"Why'd you runaway? Couldn't stand being at home?" he asked.

Ahhh, it was a lush October day, and Jake strolled down the street of Hogsmeade, in suuuuuch a good mood. He was therefore VERY happy to seeeeee...

"Tibi!"

Speeding up, Jake ran over to his best friend, a grin on his face. "Hi!"

Jake had many a coupon to waste down here. Bwahahaha.

*coughchoke*

Ha.

Elisabeta nodded and said "Well my parents are both big users of the dark arts and basically they wanted me to go down the same road but i knew that i wasn't going to be the same as them so i stole money from them and came to Hogwarts to start a new life"

Finally catching up with the boy, Jake stood bent double, hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath. Wow, all that physical activity in the summer that had made him fitter was starting to... well... not work. The boy looked up at the young Ravenclaw, taking just another second or two to compose himself.

When he stood up again, Jake stretched his back as though he'd just woken up, and glanced up and down the street.

"Honeydukes," the boy said instantly, eyes narrowing as he smelt the sweeeet scent of sugar. He'd be fine with sugar now. Yes? Yeah he totally WOULD. Because... because... because...

BECAUSE HE WANTED SOME.

"I wwwant sugars... I does I duhh-does I rrrreally DOES!"

O.O

Maybe he'd already had some.

"I hhhave cuhh-coupons ffffor... the quill puh-place, one of the ppppubs and the cuhh-clothes puh-puh-place."

Mmmmhm. Because teachers looooved Jake. Oh yes they did.

Tyler nodded as he listened to Lis. Dark Arts. Something Tyler almost did once. "Well, I'm glad you ran away from that. I don't think it would be too safe to go thought something like that," he said.

Elisabeta nodded and said "Yeah and imagine my shock when i get to Hogwarts and there is a professor teaching dark arts and yeah it wasnt safe for me at all"

"But isn't that professor teaching us how to defend ourselves from Dark Arts?" he asked, scratching his head. Tyler had dazed off in that class. The professor scared Tyler and he didn't want to be there.

Elisabeta shook her head and said "Nope he isnt he made us all perform the unforgivable curses on spiders"

"Wow, I missed that much when I fell asleep in class," Tyler laughed. But he had seen an unforgiveable curse being performed once. He was with Jule when Heather died. Maybe that's why he was protective of his cousin and niece.

"Candy?" Tibi looked at him a little surprised at Jake's... hyperness. "I... thought you couldn't have sugar?" Maybe that was old news? Only from last year? Tibi couldn't remember.

Oh. Coupons. "I had one... but Celandine burned it." Tibi frowned. "But I'll go with you to the pub thingie and clothes shopping and stuff.. I mean.. if you want me to?"

Elisabeta nodded and said "Yeah you did miss a lot when you fell asleep"

"Maybe I won't go to the next class," he said and sighed. But Tyler was now curious on what theyw ere going to do next.

"Rrrright you are!" Jake grinned. Duh, of COURSE he couldn't have sugar. That was why he WANTED it. Bouncing on the balls of his feet, Jake stared in the direction of the sweet shop again, but was thoroughly disheartened when he heard Tibi's next words.

Gaping at the young boy, Jake couldn't believe Cela could be so MEAN. Jake was toooootally getting the boy a quill. And buying him a butterbeer. And maybe give him one of the gloves he got freeeee with a purchase at... the gladrags place. "That wuhh-wasn't vvvery nuhh-nice of hhher," Jake frowned. Grrr. And she'd seemed so nice.

"Luhh-let's go ttto the quill ppplace..." Because Jake had realised that sugar WAS a bad idea... early on in the Hogsmeade visit.

Bwaha.

Wait.

Where was the Quill place? Jake looked... a little lost.

Elisabeta nodded and said "I am not sure whether i am going to the next class or not anyway i dont like the dark arts and i dont who allowed this professor into the school"

"I heard he's here from the Ministry," Tyler looked up to make sure he got his info right. Yup, the DA teacher was from the Ministry. No wonder. "Then we'll skip class together and hide somewhere," he laughed.

Elisabeta laughed and said "Yeah that sounds pretty good Tyler i much rather hide than attend another one of his classes"

"Exactly!" Tyler snapped his fingers and chuckled. "Then we'll have to hide good, or else my girlfriend will find me and drag me to class," Ty smirked and shook his head. Lucy would probably do that since she was 'EVIL', but only sometimes.

Elisabeta laughed and said "Yeah i suppose that we will have hide good because i don't want to have to go back to that class"

"Yup, especially with that teacher, oh no. I definitely wouldn't want to go back to class," Tyler stated, with a small chuckle. He stopped walking, and noticed his shoe was untied. Grrr. "So, who's Hogwarts treating you?" he asked and he bent down and tied his shoe.

Elisabeta smiled and said "Hogwarts is treating me alright thanks, how about yourself Tyler"

"Pretty good, though I think I became lazier here," he laughed and stood up. Good, his shoe was now tied and it was safe to walk.

Elisabeta laughed and said "Yeah i think i have as well, so you made many friends yet tyler"

Tibi quirked an eyebrow, but at least candy was off the table... for now.

He shrugged at the boy's comment about Celandine. "She said they were bad. She was really funny about it. Like she sounded all weird and then just ran off. I'uno." He shrugged again. He really didn't know what to make of it.

Annnnywooo. "Quill place sounds good. Lead the way?" Cause Tibi certainly had no idea where he was going. Only, looking at Jake, it seemed he didn't either.

Ruhroh.

"I guess you can say that," he said and shrugged. "Like I've made friends and I've talked to some people, who aren't quite friends I should say," Ty didn't know how to explain it. He's talked to some people a bit but not enough to call them friends.

Elisabeta nodded and said "Yeah i am pretty much the same i need to meet more people"

"Same here, so when we skip, we;ll explore the castle more and find nebies tot alk to," he laughed. Awww, the fun he'll have not going to class for once.
As Tyler was walking down the street with Lis, he wasn't really paying attention to his surroundings. Next thing he knew, a door was slammed into his face. "Oww!" Tyler said, loudly as he fell to the floor. Ty rubbed his forehead and sat up. "Don't worry, I'm alright," he chuckled and ket rubbing his head.

Elisabeta nodded and said "Yeah we shall Tyler and we shall have so much fun"

"Oh yeah I'll be fine", said Ginny trying not to think of Quidditch Tryouts. She was a first year against seventh years. "Hi Luna", said Ginny. "I don't know they haven't finished them yet", said Ginny with a bit of hope. "I dunno, Three Broomsticks?", said Ginny.

Tyler grinned and nodded. "I heard there's a candy store here," he made an evil face and rubbed his hands together. Oh yes. Tyler loved candy and sweets, but then he didn't know why he rejected Lucy's cupcake that day. But he was glad he did. "Let's go there!"

"Weirdo," Jake said darkly, and kind of hypocritically, not elaborating on it. He knew it wasn't nice to call people weird, but it also wasn't nice to burn peoples' possessions. Shrugging back at the boy, Jake rubbing the back of his head, messing his hair up before flattening it again as he stared up and down the street.

Ohhhh dear. It looked like wandering around was on the agenda...

"I thuhh-think if wwwe... just wuhh-walk..."

They'd get even more lost.

Sounds like a plan!

Uh oh.

Stopping dead in his tracks, Jake stared at the girl straight ahead. The one from Lawson's office. His brow furrowing, Jake rubbed at the back of his neck and avoided eye contact. She'd seen him cry and he'd shouted at her... something he'd felt bad for... but stiiiiill.

"'M fine," the boy mumbled, glancing at Tibi as if to say OHMYMERLIN! HALP! "Are yuhh-you?" Jake asked the girl. What had Lawson said to her? Had he upset her? Was he in super big trouble now?

Oh noes.

Elisabeta smiled and said "Yeah let's go to Honeydukes Tyler"

Hello random. Tibi looked at Jake and then the unknown girl that had just approached them, and then back to Jake.

"Erm. Hi." Tibi took a step forward so he was right next to Jake. "We're... fine." Did they not look fine?

Out of the corner of his eye, Tibi spotted the Hog's Head. They could escape into there if need be... yeah? Hm. Turning his attention back to the girl, he noticed Jake's expression. Yeah. Escape soon. Now just think up a reason...

Gee, this was awkward.

Fixing his t-shirt, Adam shivered slightly and regretted not bringing a jacket. But oh well, he was NOT walking back to the Castle now, and it wasn't that cold. Flicking his fringe out of his eyes, he pulled out his wand and moved it in a large circle before him, concentrating hard on white and pink daisies in his head. "Orchideous!" he whispered, and the flowers appeared in his hand. He looked at them, and smiled approvingly, because he knew Lori would love them.

At least, he hoped.

As he waited for her to arrive, Adam decided to have a little bit more fun. In his mind, he pictured butterflies, and decided to try the spell non-verbally. Because he should be able to do it. After all, he was nearly seventeen! Even if he had been kept behind a year!

Papilio! he though, waving his wand before him. But he was NOT pleased with the result. Moths?! No, that wasn't what he'd wanted. Thinking for a moment, he decided to try again. This time, verbally.

"Pape- no. Papilio!" he whispered, and the butterflies flew out of the tip of his wand. Eleven of them. Now that was an achievement. For Adam, anyway.

As long as they didn't eat the flowers... :shifty: .

Oh dear, this seemed... Ohhhh dear.

One thing Jake did NOT want was a Tibi shaped shield. Well, he didn't want there to be any need for one. When Tibi answered, Jake nodded his head in agreement. Yes. Fine. Everything was fine.

You'd need an axe to cut the tension, but everything was fiiiine.

When the young girl spoke, Jake looked sharply at her. He tended to forget that he wasn't that young anymore. He wasn't able to get away with being defensive without seeming mean or aggressive. Especially around younger kids.

But yes... he didn't know that.

"You ddddidn't... hurt... me," he said slowly and quietly, trying to keep his cool and not stutter. Why was he getting mad anyway?

Oh. She'd seen him WEAKEN.

"I duhh-don't lllike people ssstaring at mmme," he added, voice getting a little more urgent. That's what she had done... and she was doing it now. "Thuhh-that's all."

What in the name of Merlin's six-toed kittycat was happening here?

"So, um. Yeah." Tibi tugged on Jake's sleeve. "We've got that.. thing. Remember? We're gonna be late." Sure, it probably sounded sketchy, but Jake was getting worked up.

And though he would be loathe to admit it, and if you asked him, he'd deny it in a second, flat... after the last time he saw Jake get worked up, he would worry about it happening again.

"It was, uh, nice to meet you..." girl-person without a name.

Come on... Jake.

Lorelai giggled as she wound a bit of hair round her finger and chuckled to herself. It was too COLD. She hadn't wrapped up, thinking the sun outside had meant that it would be HOT. Stupid decieving ball of fire.

Clipping her heels along the street, she looked around for the person that had INVITED her to come here with him. Not the other way round, as he or anyone else who had heard the conversation would say. Merlin. Why on EARTH were there so many students here? Obviously they all had no lives, like alot of other people. Not including her.

FINALLY. There he stood, his back to her, some random bloody butterflies fluttering round him, and she hoped; some more flowers for her.

Giggling again, she creeped behind him, and rolled ontop her tiptoes to lean and cover his eyes. "Them flutterby's your homework?"

Hehe.

teehee <33
 

"I duhh-don't nnneed people to buhh-be concerned," Jake said plainly, looking pretty... well, evil. What WAS it with this kid? He'd seen her twice and already she was bringing out the worst in him.

THIS WAS SO AWKWARD.

Directing his gaze now directly to the floor, shamelessly, Jake scowled and kicked at the cobbles.

This was going well.

"Luhh-lawson was ccconcerned about muhh-me... Luhh-look what I wwwent and ddddid to huhh-him..."

Of course, Jake totally KNEW that the girl didn't know that.

It just... slipped out.

"What?" Jake looked up at Tibi, a look of distracted annoyance on his face, mixed with confusion. "Whuh-what are yuhhh-you t-..."

Ohhhhhhh.

"Ohhhhhhh."

That.

"That."

Jake nodded once, and immediately wandered off in the direction Tibi had been looking earlier, waiting for the younger boy to take the lead to wherever he wanted to go. Looking once over his shoulder, Jake decided to... well... try and be a little nice. He couldn't see that the girl was about to cry... but he was taught never to just LEAVE.

"Luhh-later... errr... kuhh-kid..."

This time, his voice was a little lighter, but when he turned toward where he was actually walking, his face fell and he went pale.

Why did he feel like he was reeeeally close to getting disasterously angry?

YEAH. YEAH it was TIME to GO.

Tibi's eyes got really wide at mention of Lawson and he tugged on his friend's sleeve again.

Relieved when the boy realized what he was doing, Tibi headed toward the Hog's Head, looking back over at the girl.

"See you.. around maybe." He felt like a total heel, but Jake was getting angry and that was no good. No no good. And so that won over being polite.

"Let's go... sit and have a drink?" He led the way to the door, and rested his hand against it.

A nice, relaxing drink.

Managing a weird sort of half-smile, Jake reached out for the door of the pub as well, and pushed it in. He didn't want to feel like any kind of invalid or whatever.

So yeah, leaving the young girl behind, Jake entered the dingy looking pub.

He needed to sit DOWN.

Luffs <3
 

Sigh. Miranda had been hoping to stay indoors, just huddled up on a couch and staring into the fireplace. But she had a tryout later that day and she couldn't just sit and do nothing. Miranda was a Captain, for Merlin's sake - she had to act like one. Stop acting like an idiot...

But she was glad she had gotten outside, the fresh air was making her relax and forget about the tiresome events. And now she was on her way to Honeydukes to buy some more chocolate. She had unfortunately run out of those little frogs when she needed them the most.

Maybe she'd pop into the Hog's Head and get that free...whatever she'd gotten. The coupon was in her little purse...maybe she'd spot a friend or two in there aswell. Hmmm... She'd seen others getting coupons for a piece of cake...maybe she'd gotten one too? Her memory was goofy and she took it out to read it. If there was cake involved, she'd definitely get a chocolate one.

Free Butterbeer... "Awww..." Miranda made a sullen face, which then turned into one of surprise as she accidentally bumped into something - or someone, dropping her coupon. "Sh...sorry!" Miranda said quickly and bent down to pick up her piece of paper, not noticing who it was.

Blowing at the butterflies as they began to buzz well, not buzz, but whatever butterflies did around Lori's flowers, Adam hopped that just blowing would scare them away. It didn't, obviously, but Adam wasn't to know that. "Go, away!" he growled under his breath, glaring at them. But the bloody purple things just wouldn't go away. URGH!

Feeling cold hands over his face, Adam almost jumped, and then heard a voice in his ear. Spinning around caused the hands to fall, and he grinned down at Lori. "Hey there," he whispered, handing her the flowers.

And completely ignoring her question. Ooops.

Rafe wondered the street, not sure where to go or if he really needed anything. But, it was nice to get out. His social life wasn't as active as it usually was. He'd hardly seen any of his friends. He'd gone to tryouts and the hospital wing, but that was all business and no fun. He didn't know what to do exactly, but Hogsmeade was usually active at this time and he was incredibly bored. Maybe he's run into a familiar face.

Enid walked out of The Three Broomsticks and onto Hogsmeade's Main Street with a rather distracted and thoughtful expression on her young face. That last conversation she'd just had with Layla had left her a bit dazed, and she found herself bumping into a few people here and there as she walked down the crowded streets. "Sorry," she muttered after crashing into some old lady she'd never seen before.

She opted it was best to get her mind off that conversation and distract herself looking at the various items set on display behind the windows of each shop. She slowed her pace and let her large green eyes roam over the shops, coming to a halt by a broomshop that had up on display some of the latest, fastest - and of course, most expensive brooms out in the wizarding world.

Becca, not sure if she would actually buy anything, or just window shop walked around in a daze at all of the wonderful products in the stores' window displays. Not paying any attention as she was staring at the newest book in her favorite series from across the street, she bumped into someone, knocking her out of her trance. "Oh, gosh I'm so sorry!" Becca said as she collected herself.

Becksssssss! ^_^
 

Enid, who had been in a bit of a daze as she examined the brooms and nearly fainted at seeing their prices, was snapped out of it as another girl came over and nearly knocked her off her feet. Startled, Enid turned to the newcomer and watched as she recollected herself. "It's alright," she said quietly, letting her green eyes take a moment to examine the girl's uniform to realize she was a Ravenclaw. "Bumping into people is the most commonly used greeting in Hogsmeade, y'know," she added casually, as if they were talking about shaking hands or something of the sort.

Becca watched as the girl nearly went flying and instantly felt the color rise to her cheeks. "Good, I'm glad you're okay." Becca said. "Is it really? I didn't know that. Well in that case... Hi, Rebecca Latrowski. But call me Becca please." she added and then held her hand out.
