Pierre noticed Ziva's cautiousness. He chuckled slightly because he was watching for random running people as well. He shrugged his shoulders at her suggestion. "Sounds good to me."

He kept walking with Ziva in the direction he thought the tea shop to be. That was really all he knew about the place.

next in the shop?
 

"You're watching for those young Hufflepuffs too, eh?" she asked with a little angriness showing through her voice as they continued to walk. She leaned into Pierre's body, she was freezing in the December air.

yep :D
 

Pierre chuckled. "Yes. Have to be careful so you don't get knocked over again." Pierre soon stood in front of the tea shop with Ziva. He removed his arm from her shoulder and held the door open for her. He then followed her into Madame Puddifoot's.

Torin blinked as he watched her. She was acting strange and her clothes were bad even for her. Normally she made at least some effort even if she had bad taste. But her jeans were torn and dirty and her hair was bleh.

"Are you okay, Reese?"

He wanted to hug her. He didn't like his best friend upset.

"You lost summat Ad?" Lori looked up at him, still giggling. "Oh yeah, hi. I'm not planning on getting up, you snow... Snow's a total comfy thing. Cold, but I have enough layers on. AAAND, may hairs curly today, so it'll only curl it more. So I dont mind really. You should j-" SPLAT.

Creasing in hysterics, Lori watched as the snowball she had been crunching together while speaking splatted at his face. "Happy December, and almost Lori's birthday." FORGET CHRISTMAS! Her birthday equalled a much better holiday. Hehe. And presents.

She reached up to wip the snow from his face, but her glove WAS still covered in snow, and it was cold and wet. So it probably only provided a wet face and icicles on his eyelashes.

HEHE.

Lucy blinked at him. "More texture? More like more FLUFF," She said as she smoothed it out. Ah, that was better. Oh, but the wind kept blowng it on her face, so she left it alone, throwing her hands up in the air. "Fine, mess up my hair!" She said with a laugh, talking to the wind. "Oh, yeah. I forgot to ask you--is Kitty coming with us, then? Since her dad will be there as well?" She asked, leaning on the tree again.

"Yesssssssssss! Fluff is a form of texture, duhhhh," Ty laughed as Lucy smoothed out her hair. bu the wind wasn't cooperating either. Ty took his hat off and shook his head, giving his hair a different style since it was getting flat again. Putting it back on, Tyler answered Lucy's question. "She's going to be there later since my sister said she was taking Kitty somewhere," he shrugged and thought about where Taylor could take Kat. Anywhere they had sweets and food was good for her.

Lucy made a face at him. "Why do you have to be right all the time?" She said as she reached over and clasped his hand. She watched him as he tried to fix his own hair and giggled.
"Ohhh, where's she taking her???" She asked curiously.

"Yeah," Adam admitted, looking down longingly at the snow, and then at his very red, very cold hands. "My wand..." he added in a mumble under his breath. What a stupid, stupid, stupid times about a kazzillion-bazzillion-trillion-million idea to hold it in front of him and try to clear the snow.

"I'll say happy birthday, on your birthday," he said with a wink, wiping the snow from his face. Batting away her hands, he laughed at the ice coldness of it all. Which reminded him, he needed to go back and wrap her present. But that could wait until later. Right now, he was here, with her. And that was all that mattered.

"I'll get you back later, twitty," he said with another wink, and a grin.

"I'm not right all the time, I just make snese," Ty laughed and toko Luce in his arms. "She's taking her to Disney World, I think," he chuckled and tried to remember if that was right. Should've been since Taylor did tell Tyler that it was going to be warm and dry. So it had to be Florida, where Cadence and her short boyfriend were going as well.

Evil smile.

"Your waaand? MEH." Lori giggled, and sat up from her spot and started to move snow with her hands. "The benefit of three pairs of gloves. I have a spare pink pair in my bag if you wanna borrow them.." She grinned back at him; but turned back quickly continuing to dig. "What if it died, because it got cold ey?" Silly wand. Silly wand MAKERS! Wands needed coats.

"With my present right?" She grinned back at him, eventually giving up looking for that wand of his. He could do that. And then she resumed her lying down position, looking up at him. Little giggles leaving her. "Cant you wish me EARLY birthday wishes? Please? I'll be nice. FOREVER. Oh, erm.. You might not wanna talk to Athlon. I kinda insulted her... And told her you wer emy boyfriend, and you had to stay away... Something like that. Check twitter."

But it totally wasn't Lori's fault. Stupid Athlon.

"You wouldnt. DARE."

Pink?! "Eh, I'm fine thanks," Adam said, shuddering at the thought of wearing such a girlie colour. Call him stereotypical, but he'd admit to it. He. Did. Not. Like. Pink. FULL STOP!. Watching as she gave up rummaging in the snow, Adam knelt down and bagan rummaging with his own hands, feeling them getting number by the minute.

He shoulda brought a coat.

"Maybe," Adam said, looking up enough to give her the shifty eyes before looking down at the snow again. "And nope, I can't. You can only wish Birthday wishes on a persons birthday." he added with a firm nod. Listening to what she said, Adam was about to interject with the fact that he didn't plan on speaking to Raven Athlon in the near futur in any case, but what she said next had him stunned.

Was that what they where now? Boyfriend and Girlfriend...? He knew they;d bith admitted they loved each other, but they'd never said that they were boyf- well, that. It'd seemed easier just being friends with.... erm, well... -- deeper feelings. Eh.

adamFail. Epicly.

"Nougat??! Oh, that reminds me, we ought to get some coconut ice while we're here. In fact, why don't we stop at Honeydukes first? Oh, and before I forget." His new potion was apparently working quite well as he remembered to pull out his wand and give it a tip fluttering test to warm it up before flicking it and directing towards an empty spot on the street to conjure up his double seated bicycle.

"Ever ridden one of these, Professor?"

Lucy stuck her tongue at him and then leaned against him. "What the heck is Disney World??" She said with her eyebrows raised. Some world...made by some guy named Disney?? Those muggles.

"Its an amusement park. Like there's rides and food and people in costumes," Tyler laughed and shook his head. Now that he thought of it, Disney world was a strange place.

She needed to add nougat and coconut ice to her shopping list then!! She would've had Mister Kapook not distracted her with his wand work! What was he doing...?


OOOOOOOOH!!

"Not in a loooooong time, no," Mildred said in awe. She just wanted to TOUCH the pretty bicycle. "But one never forgets how to ride a bike, do they!?"

*dies and <3's the many aliases of David Kapoor*
 

One could've tested that concept of never fogetting to ride with no two more interesting people than Pilliwickle and Kapook.

"Nope. Not ever!" He said excitedly after tucking away his wand and extending a hand out to help Miss Mildred board the bicycle.

Pouting up at Adam, Lori gripped his face again with her wet gloves and squeezed at his cheeks. "Why nottttt?" She giggled, pushing herself up from the floor, so she was sitting upright; STILL clutching his cheeks. Giggling again, Lori lolled her head to one side, and threw her arms around him. "I. Think. That. You. Like. Pink. Alot. Because I do. BUT! If you dont... Then I have a feeling, me and you aint gonna get along.." Or maybe that was a lie, but still.

SHE. LOVED. PINK.

"Adam? What if I asked you for an early birthday wish?" She pouted a little bit and let go of him, before pushing him; hopefully so he landed in that pile of snow. HOPEFULLY.

"I dont mean we are... But she was annoying me, and it came out..." Yeah, maybe she was just failing to be honest. This was a failing subject. "I'm sorry.."

She was still holding his cheeks. COLD! COLD! COLD! COLD! COLDCOLDCOLD!!! Adam didn't like the cold, but he gave up batting her hands away. He didn't want to hurt her, and besides, his cheeks where going numb now, all feeling going away. To be honest, most of his body was going numb now.

"Ah, you know we will Lor," Adam said with a wink when Lori mentioned she'd like pink. Because they both knew that they could always get along, and he loved her. So they HAD to get along, he'd make sure of it.

Early wish...? "Erm, okay t-" he began, but a moment later he was falling towards the pile of snow. Lori had pushed him. He only had a moment to pull a shocked face - because he was honestly surprised - and then...

-- CRACK!

Eyes closing slightly, Adam hit the snow and heaved himself up, feeling beneath his back and praying it wasn't what he thought it was. But, alas, he gripped the wood and pulled his wand out from under him.

His very broken wand, that was, he thought as he held it delicately in his hand, staring at where it was joined by just a splinter.

"Don't be...." he murmured under his breath. But what are we? he couldn't help but add in his head. Because they both liked each other alot, but was there any point if they weren't going anywhere?

"We really wont." Lori laughed, and lay back down in the snow, closing her eyes for a moment, tempted to snuggle her bag and sleep. Becasuse she could sleep in snow. Anyone could. If you had enough layers on, of course. You had to be able to keep yourself warm, right?

Skeptically opening one eye to see if he had landed in the snow, Lori giggled nad propped her head up a bit; to grin at him. But instantly dropped her head and her smile when he picked the broken wand up. "Ad?"

BIG. BIG. BOOBOO. On her behalf, this time.

"Can you fix wands with Reparo? Because I can do that for you? I read the books and stuff, so I could catch up."

"Ah, but that is where you're wrong," Adam dissagreed with a laugh. "We really will!" And now she was lying in the snow. Adam would've joined her, if only he'd had more layers on, and he wasn't holding his wand. Which was, coincidentially, broken!

"Oh no..." he breathed, disbelieving for a moment, until he ran his finger along the wand and the single splinter attaching the two halves broke. And now he had two wands! Well, two separate halves of one wand. Whihc wasn't good, at all.

"This isn't happening!" he could only managed, before her words penatrated. And honestly, he didn't know. He never thought he'd ever have to know. "I dernoo Lorelai...."

Lori pouted a bit, and pulled her wand out throwing it a bit in the air catching it with a laugh the right way. "I'll try it, if not, I'll pay for you to get a new one. I promiseee." She had the money, and he could owl it away to get a new one. Easy enough.

Raising her wand and tapping his, "Reparo." Lori closed her eyes, just to wait for him to say if it worked.

Because she had said it right. She never got anything wrong.

"You won't pay for a new one. Emma will," Adam said firmly, mentally making a note to himself to send her an owl later. Because Lorelai hadn't broken his wand, he had. Yes, she'd pushed him, but it was an accident. His fault for dropping the wand in the first place.

Watching the wand seal itself back together, Adam was impressed. "Thanks Lori," he said with a grin, hugging her. But now, the ultimate test. Holding it out in front of him, he ignored the fact the it was slightly wonky now, and said the first spell that came into his head.

"Orchideous!"

But this time, instead of flowers, a few sparks shot out of the wrong end of the wand. "Ow!" Adam muttered as they hit him in the face, burning his cheek. "Stupid thing," he added, gingerly reaching up to touch his cheek and wincing at the pain.

"Who's Emma? And no, I will. You will not have someone else pay for it, it's my fault. Dont be so persistent anyways, I'm gonna pay, you're going to let me. And then I wont throw a tantrum and drag you in Madam Puddifoots." Because, that was a scary shop. As pretty as it was, and pink. It was scary. So much loving. GAH.

YAY. It wo- Maybe not.

Squaling as the sparks came out the wrong end and kinda burnt Adam's face, Lori pulled off her gloves and batted his hands away from it, inspecting it. "It's not that bad, just a mark. No burnt flesh really..."

No one would believe it. Annie was wearing a pretty dress, along with some nice shoes. Those her mother bought for her, aside to the school ones. She thanked so much they weren't heels, though made her stand a little taller. Holding her hair, she was using sort of a head scarf, a blue knitted one.

And this...was all for Drew. EEp...

She waited, seating at a bench at the beginning of the street of Hogsmeade. They would spend a day together, before saying bye...
