Ella must be like, a mind reader or something.

Although, she probably just noticed him shaking like a leaf and his chattering teeth. Heh. But mind reading was way cooler, so he'd lean towards believing that. Logan nodded quickly, glancing around himself all the shops lining the street. "Where do you wanna go?" he asked as he turned his attention back to her. He didn't quite care. Anywhere was fine, as long as it was warm of course. Watching as she then took a licorice wand, he decided to do the same. "I'll have one as well." he said, pulling one out and taking a bite of it.

Logan shrugged. "It gets a bit boring back at the house most days. I like to learn knew things." he told her. Cooking being one of them, obviously. OOO now she was going to try one! Logan watched her intensely as she bit into it, and he beamed at her reaction. She seemed to quite like it. Laughing at how excited she was and how she was talking with her mouth full, Logan gave her another flash of a smile. "I'm glad you like it!"

"Pizza without cheese." Cat shook her head, all mournful like. What a sad sad world it would be if there were no cheese. Sad, sad, sad. "Actually, now I'm all curious about what that would be like, you think we should give it a try some time? We make really good pizza together." They totes did. When they weren't distracted by cookies or kisses.

Cat bounced, giving Mo a big grin as she did. "Yes please. I like food and lunch and you and lunch with you." Besides, it was cold out. They could hurry up and get there, right?

"Hog's Head?" Seemed like a good choice and it wouldn't be that crowded so there'd be no trouble finding a table. The blonde waited for an answer and chewed on her licorice wand happily, watching the other people on the street with interest.

"Boring can be nice sometimes." Which sounded weirder out loud than it had when she thought it. "I just mean, it gets sort of crazy sometimes at school. I wouldn't mind a boring day." Though she was glad he'd found something to keep himself busy. And he was laughing at her which made her think of Alec. He did that lots too. "Y'know, I'll want more of these since I know you're good at making them." Grin. Would he mind very much if she owled for more during the term?

"I don't want to experience pizza without cheese. It's like chocolate chip cookies without the chips. Or like... red velvet without the cream cheese icing," Mo twisted her hand up, still linked in his, and gave the back of her hand a kiss. A cheesy kiss. And then, because today was a cheesy/adorable day, he added, "It's like me without you."

And that was just a waste, it was.

"C'mon then. What if they ran out of food because we walked too slow? What if there were no seats? We could sit with strangers. We could even sit with West and Alice, even though he would hate that." And Mo wasn't really interested in going where he wasn't wanted. Not anymore.

Charlotte felt a bit scared as she saw Tyler's mum raise her eyebrow. That wasnt the right answer was it? The brunette had never been scared of anything, but this somehow was a big deal to her. Maybe it was because of her unlucky family situation...not that she cared.

"i'll make sure to take your advice into account", she smiled,"especially coming from such a well experienced lady." Yeah that sounded good, well at least in her head it did. But afterall Mrs. bellaire had to know...right? "Some boys definitely have the attention span of five year olds, you need to keep their minds busy." The brunette didnt want to mention with what kinda stuff she'd keep their minds busy, if she was actually up for marriage....

Talking about Piper...Oh....

But Tyler's mum seemed to be fine, so he wasnt in trouble. Yet he looked really worried,Piper didnt even know what sh was doing. Stupid girl. Tyler cared, no matter if we wanted to admit it or not he cared a lot.

Charlotte smiled up at Tyler as he squeezed her hand back before running it through her hair."So what is the plan?"

Beau noted it was cold, the rosy in her cheeks noted so...Or Beau was making her blush... But that was giving him way more credit then his ego needed.

"Yes, zey zink it was better to keep me in a 'ouse where I was in a box. But zey caved when I pulled ze.. 'ow do you say it in English?" He smirked. He hadn't spoken in English in a while. [B]"Yeux de chiot...Ehm I zink it is puppy dog eyes in English."[/s] She would have to forgive him, English was his second language.

He smirked a little when she giggled at his bow... Looked like people didn't do that kind of thing. But she did have manners. Looking towards Hogsmeade, "Is zere someplace warm w'ere we can warm ourselves up in 'ogsmeade?" If not he would give her his jacket, the cold was affecting her cheeks... Or it was him..

Adelaide nodded. "I understand completely. My parents are muggles and thought I was a freak so basically they didn't want to encourage it." She giggled at the puppy dog eyes comment. "I wished that worked on my parents." Never did. Not even when she was little.

Addi looked around the streets. "I've heard the Three Broomsticks is nice." It would be a lot better than standing out and chatting in the cold. Even though it would make her blush more apparent...

It was an usual sight to see the boy without his bag. Though, there he was, carrying only a light bundle sack and wearing a grin that suggested he'd had just done something, or perhaps was about to do something. As soon as he'd made it far enough into towne, he made a beeline for a less inhabited area.

Zahra had gotten her pig from her big brother's house, WHO just so HAPPENED to also live in Hogsmeade. She was walking Pig down the street, leash and all, whistling to herself poorly, and trying to THINK of what to get one Mikey Toussaint for his birthday.

Candy? .... Toussaints were weird about candy sometimes, so probably not.

Something from the JOKE shop seemed SO obvious, but he'd probably like that stuff... Hmm...

Maybe something random and junky from Dervish and Bangs?? WHISTLE WHISTLE WHISTLE WHILE WALKING A PIG.....

So whatever, Ruby had got the day wrong for that Quiz whatever thing that her cousin was supposed to be in, but it didn't matter because it was like, totally a good excuse and her mum would not check anyways. She could probably say she she was going to see West like any weekend ever and get away with it.

Spectac.

She trot-trotted in her cute shoes along the street, a swishy little sashay to her walk that was clearly contrived and not at all natural for someone her age, which appeared to be somewhere between 13 and 15. Possibly. The excess make up made it had to tell for sure.

Maybe she could get someone to buy her stuff. That would be a fun game. Maybe she co-- Ruby stopped short. That girl had a PIG.

Or maybe........... no, that was a crazy stupid idea. Get her nails done for Mikey's birthday? That was the dumbest idea yet. Zahra bonked her self in the head. Baha. Idiot. She was openly laughing at herself when she noticed some other girl, not a Gryffindor, eying up her pig.

"He bites," Zahra told the girl.

"I would too if I were a pig on a leash." It wasn't even a fashionable leash. Seriously. Ruby gave said pig and said leash her most judgmental look. "You should train it as an attack pig. Like a bodyguard, or for home defense." That's what Ruby would do. Sure she'd rather train people to protect her and bite on her behalf, but you had to work with what you had at hand.

She circled girl-and-pig, her shoes making dainty little trippity-trip sounds on the cobbles.

"You could sharpen his teeth."

HUH?????

Zahra eyed the pig, then girl, then pig and her face scrunched up. The pig was pretty small. Plus, Zahra was a GRYFFINDOR and didn't need an attack pig.

She was still braining this attack pig scenario when crazy girl suggested TEETH SHARPENING.

"You crazy or something?"

Scoff. Ruby flipped her hair. Crazy? Not today. She was just ahead of her time, that was all. And who would suspect a harmless ickle pig? It was perfect. She checked her nails --french tips-- and asked casually, "Aren't you a little young to be all alone in Hogsmeade?"

Baha....riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight............ Girl WAS crazy. That was cool. Zahra smiled at her. So long as crazy girl didn't like....try to bite Pig or something.

"Now you sound like a mum. Plus, I'm here with Pig. And you. And my brother lives nearby. And I go to school at Hogwarts." SO....

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasp! "You do not, you look like you're five." Ruby said, crossing her arms over her chest and eyeing this girl anew. Scoff.

"Do you really? Are you a first year then?"

Five???? Zahra pulled a face and kicked at a rock.... what... FIVE????? She was THIRTEEN. One plus a three. Double digits.

Five? This girl was dumb. Probably a Puff.

".............. are YOU? I've never even seen you at school."

"Oh you ARE a first year. I'm sorry you're so.... underdeveloped." Must be tough. Ruby flipped her chocolate brown hair again. Obviously she hadn't seen her at Hogwarts, Ruby didn't go to Hogwarts.

"I'm homeschooled. And I get to go to Muggle School for some things."

Zahra scratched at her cheek, wondering whether it was worth correcting crazy girl that was crazy or not. Then she wondered what "underdeveloped" meant exactly. Like she was short or something? Pig laid down, 'cause he was a pig and lazy, so Zahra let him take a break for now.

"My dad is the Minister of Magic, so sometimes I go there for witch-things." ONE-UPPED. BOOM.

Ruby shifted her weight to one foot and let her hip jut out like she'd seen in magazines. She'd perfected such stances already.

"I'm an immaculate conception." She had no dad. Her mum had a string of men who sometimes brought gifts to buy her and her brothers and sisters off, but Ruby had no clue who her father was, so she preferred to just not have any at all.

But this girl, MINISTER's daughter, really?

Then they would be friends.

Ruby's body language changed entirely and she smiled, holding out her hand for shaking. "I'm Ruby, its so nice to meet you."

She what now. o____O

....Zahra hadn't ever met a legitimate crazy person. This was cool. Though Zahra found herself mimicking this HIP jutting thing.

"I'm Zahra," Zahra smacked her hand in a cool SIDE FIVE. "And this is Pig." Pig got a toe from Z. He was being SO LAZY suddenly.

"We were shopping for my best friend. It's his birthday soon and stuff." In case Crazy Ruby was wondering.

She wasn't so sure about the... hand slapping. Or the fact that the pig was called Pig. It got eyed for a second and then Ruby regrouped with that oh-so-friendly smile on her face.

"Your name is super glamorous. Almost as good as mine." An amazing name was important. She wasn't quite so fond of her last name, but then she could take care of that by marrying someone with a good one, and failing that she could change it herself. A stage name.

"Ooooooooooooooooh a BOY!" She applauded this with a sassy little happy clap. "I am so good at shopping for boys."

Zahra didn't care about all that. Her name coulda been MUD and she'd still been as cool as she was right now.

Though, on second thought, maybe even a shade COOLER. MUD KETTLEBURN.

....bahha. Teehee.

Uhhmm.... anyway. "Yeah, yeah Mikey Toussaint. He's real cool, man. We go way back. Dunno what I'll get him this year though." ....cause things were a little weird at the moment, and who KNEW what he'd like.

Or think pretty.

"Is he cute?" Prioritising the questions here. And also, "I'm not a man. Don't call me man. I don't like it." She informed the other girl.

"I'll come shopping with you!" The minister's daughter, yes that was worth while for sure.

Cute? Zahra's nose scrunched up like something stunk suddenly. CUTE? Cute... "I guess..." mumblemumbleuncomfortablewhat.

....
And.... Crazy Ruby was not a man. "I know that... I just... well you know, man. Man. Like... " Err.... that was hard to explain. She couldn't believe she was actually having to explain this.

Oh? Okay. Cool. "So we can't do sweets 'cause his dad hates sugar and smiling. And maybe not joke stuff either 'cause we're supposed to be trying to not get in trouble anymore. Or just less than usual." So REALLY what did that leave????? Z eyed Crazy Ruby's nails and wondered back to her thoughts about her nails from before. She held her own up and looked at them, then at Ruby's.
