Centered among the shops of Hogsmeade is a well enough known pub in the small village, called The Three Broomsticks. Not unlike the Hog's Head down the street in the strictest idea of pubs, drinks and the like, however it is the atmosphere that helps make the latter choice the one hailed by the mass majority. The outside of the building is a good preview of what the inside may look like with the same steep roof as the surrounding buildings, yet taller, with a sign on it's facade featuring, you guessed it, the legendary three boomsticks, all fixed around a lantern to light the patrons' way.
Once you enter the pub, smells and the warmth of the large stone fireplace great you as you place hats and coats by the door. Directly infront of you there are tables and booths lining the majority of the small hall with oil lamps placed on each one. On winter days it is usually hard to find a place beside the large fire grate but if you're early enough, only Merlin can say what will happen. To your left the bar and most likely the bartender Harold "Hops" Lagerty, await you and your order--a few stools await you to take a load off and shoot the breeze with others.
The bartender is pretty sociable to those who don't annoy him. He's seen his lot of warlocks, goblins, and Hogwarts kids to know which ones were trouble and which of those made loyal customers, so be sure not to be put on the first part of the list.
A few rules from the Shop Owner: No brawling, no shouting (angrily), no alcohol to minors, and don't go up the stairs, I live up there.
OCC Rules: No RPing for the shopkeeper and all other School RPG Rules apply.

So, Wade figured she was just repaying on him ordering. But when she mentioned birthday gift and then the frown, well, he was taken aback to say the least."Well... alright" Wade accepted the ten sickles, "Thanks Tay." pocketing it while smiling softly at her so she didn't seem upset anymore. Wade was very happy with the gifts, he wondered how Tay thought of the perfect stuff, when she mentioned Alec. "Oh..that was nice of him." He smiled, somewhat touched that his Quidditch playing was seen as wonderful. "That's sweet of you to say, Tay. I hope I don't disappoint having you watch me play." He winked, before laughing. "So what about you? I heard you tried out for the team this year"
Though Wade was smiling, one of his brows rose slightly at her redness. Ah.. so it was Nash. He listened as she talked about where they had it at. "That does sound nice.. I'm glad you two had a good time. So, you two are going to see more of each other then, right?" He began sipping some of butterbeer, which coated his little stache already, before shrugging while smiling. "I dunno.. I guess I got more energy than during OWLs year. I slept so much during then. " Which was true, the studying was exhausting then. "and thanks, I'm quite excited about helping take care of them." He then looked at Tay surprised, "Really? I didn't know that, so whose your twin?" Laughing a little with her, "Yeah, they're double the fun!"
Taylor beamed a smile and she squealed in delight as she went over to his side and threw her arms around his neck and hugging him tight. ”Thank you!” Tay pulled away and twirled in delight, ”You are amazing.” She laughed, ”No need to thank me. I am happy to.” Taylor nodded, ”Yeah… I wanted to get you a really good gift… and he is so helpful… isn’t he?” Tay giggled and beamed a smile at him. She laughed and smiled, ”You won’t disappoint.” Taylor tilted her head and then smiled at him, ”I got on as a reserve.” As the conversation went to the date, a blush rose back on her cheeks. Tay glanced down and twisted her curl around her finger, smiling. She looked back up at him, ”It was nice…” Taylor shrugged, ”I don’t know…” Tay looked at him, ”Can I just take some of your energy please?” She giggled and fake begged him. Taylor nodded, ”Yep, I am.” Tay giggled and beamed, ”Her name is Trinity McIntyre. She was the reason that I transferred to Hogwarts but she hates me now and moved schools…” Tay glanced away and sighed. ”Was double fun…”
Zéline saw a younger girl approaching and simply looked at the newcomer, blinking a few times as she spoke. "'Us?'" She looked around. "Us who?" As in, how many of them? Zéline was ok at socializing, but please, not a crowd. Not sure she'd be able to keep up, she only shrugged her shoulders before joining them. She turned to the other girl who had also spoken. "'Ello, I am Zéline Labelle" Zéline introduced herself, pronouncing her name in a perfect French accent. "I am frrom Marseille, France." The last two word was also spoken in a French accent. Surely they would understand. "What do you mean 'new'?" Zéline asked the second girl. "I am not going to study at 'ogwarts."

Adrienne grinned as the girl joined them. Maybe she'd find out what suspicious things she was up to now! Because she was definitely doing suspicious things. Definitely."It's just me and Tora, as of now," she said, gesturing to her best friend. Not that she had many other friends, as a matter of fact. She was more apt to make enemies or acquaintances than actual friends, so the fact that she and Tora were actually close was quite impressive.
...Was that a French accent she detected? "Adrienne Colbert," she said in response, holding out a hand to shake. And yes! It was! Adrienne smiled eagerly. "Marseille? I spend my summers quite near there, in Aix-en-Provence. Are you from Beauxbatons, then?" she asked, flipflopping back and forth between French and English accents for the various words in each language. She hadn't spoken to anyone from France since school had started, except for a few letters to Mamie and Papie, so she was excited to meet someone new from there. "It's nice to meet you, Zéline," she said, pronouncing the name exactly how the girl had done it.
Tora grinned and maybe even laughed a bit at Adrienne's response. "Oh so very funny," she said mock sternly.
-----
Oh. She was French. Unfortunately for Tora, she knew no French whatsoever and was therefore at a great disadvantage in this conversation as she knew that her best friend, Adrienne spoke the language fluently. She would normally have repeated the girl's name back with a 'nice to meet you', but after hearing Adrienne's perfect pronunciation, Tora didn't want to butcher the name with her British accent.
If this girl was not new to Hogwarts, and if Adrienne's guess was right, then this girl was visiting from Beauxbatons. Though if this girl was from that French school, it meant that she must be here for that Academic Tournament thing from the paper. Either that or for some other random academic purpose; Tora seriously doubted the second option.
This piqued Tora's curiosity. If the students from Beauxbatons had been chosen, then who were the students from Hogwarts? What year were they in? Would she know them? Was she in any of their classes? Were any of them from her House? She would have asked Zéline, but she didn't think that the French girl would know, so she stayed silent, and gave a friendly smile.
João nodded. That much time had really passed in a blink of an eye. He traced the edge of the glass with his finger absent-mindedly as he thought about his mother once again. Luckily though, Louisa asked him another question soon enough.
"I've applied to British Ministry," he said and smirked to himself. Louisa learnt it before Aspen did. If his girlfriend found out she was the last one to know, he was getting a thorough hex. He wouldn't really blame her, but he liked to surprise her too.
"I talked to him before applying, yes. He supports my decision, but said I should have my own flat. Helped me with renting one in Tottenham." And he'd paid for everything ever since. João had been here for only a week, but he had settled down so he'd needed a lot of money. His dad was really the best.
The Brazilian eyed her for a second because realising she hadn't asked about his mother. Good. He wasn't prepared to talk about her. She was a whole different story than his father and... he still couldn't get over her words.
...
He nodded after listening to her. "I'm glad you are happy," he said with a smile. "You know you can ask me if you ever need help with your coursework." His smile got wider. She was following him in faculty and it amused him for some reason. Probably because she used to look so down on politics, yet now she was saying it was her dream too.
"How is your room-mate?" Still a male? Could João hide his dislike for the situation? Hopefully, yes. He turned his gaze to the bottle nevertheless, and pushed it towards her.
"If you really want to drink, fine. I just won't help you if you get drunk." That was all he was saying.
The Ministry, yes, that was expected. The best wizarding jobs were those under the ministry of magic. She nodded when he said he got a new flat in Tottenham too. Nothing really to add to that. It was good he was establishing his life after college and settling down. Seemed like he was committing to something, and this was a new and odd Joao to her.
"I know. I don't need help with anything, though, not just with study. I'm studying the Wizarding relations and Diplomacy, anyways. Not muggle politics." She pointed this out quickly, "But thank you for offering." It was said rather automatically, the chocolate box in front of her (now half-full only) got a little nudge with her finger.
Roommate talk. Right. "He's okay. We're getting along slowly, I'm learning how to compromise and find some sort of meeting points among all our differences. It's what we should muster in our Psychology coursework, so it's practically studying. He's helped me with something recently, too, so I'm not so peeved out by him anymore." Nodnodnod.
She re-crossed her legs and looked over at Daichi, making sure he didn't leave yet, and pretended that she didn't hear what he'd just said. Because if she pretended that she did hear him, angry steam was going to go out her ears and she'd just up and leave him with his judgmental attitude. "Plans for Christmas?" She wasn't really interested in anything other than his well-being, so.

Beau wandered about Hogsmeade unsure of where to go. He had lost track of all the other Beauxbatons students when they had all gone their separate ways. He was fine when they all dispersed but companionship would have been nice, friends were nice. The Three Broomsticks. Hmm.
Entering the pub he said, "Ze Three Broomsticks..." had a nice name to it, made him wonder if the owner was in quidditch at one time. He looked around at the other people in there... Maybe there were students from Hogwarts in here.

Louisa didn't even glance at the bottle or the glass, she just simply re-crossed her legs and looked over at Daichi, making sure he didn't leave yet, and pretended that she didn't hear what he'd just said.

João shrugged. His offer was up if she wanted help. He noticed it was an automatic reply--if he didn't know better, he would think she didn't want to meet him--but he didn't say anything. Instead, he studied the café and tried to find whether something had changed. It still felt the same.
He looked into her eyes while she explained her roommate. So it was still a male. He didn't let anything show on his face, but he was annoyed by it for some reason. "I'm glad," he said shortly. What else could he say?
"Nothing special for now... I haven't talked to Aspen about it yet. You, family?"

She didn't want it? Fine. Maybe he could return it. They had only drunk one glass, after all. He pushed the glass forward too, so they both stood in the middle of the table.
"Nothing special for now... I haven't talked to Aspen about it yet. You, family?"
'He was glad' her behind, Louisa knew he wasn't glad and that he thought it was somehow inappropriate or whatever. He'd said this much in his letters, but she was really glad that he finally understood that he had no say in what she did in her life now. He could just shake his head and disapprove silently. He was getting it.
Oooh, right. He wasn't alone in Christmas, mutual plans. Sounded serious and good. Louisa nodded understandingly, "Yep. Family, and possibly some friends the next day or something." She didn't plan that far ahead yet. "I'm taking this break one adventure at a time. This week, I'm all about re-visiting the old places." Next week she wanted to go to her flat and check up on Giuseppe and the cats. The next one - well, who knew.
"Welp. It's been great meeting and catching up with you. Thanks for your time. Let's keep in touch." All the polite things were said in one breath as she collected her bag and started getting her coat off the chair's back. "I promised Daichi I'd go on a walk with him, so.." She gave him a small but genuine smile.

And zis vas another restaurant type thing, yes? Vilhelm walked inside. It vas much varmer than outside, and Vilhelm considered taking off his furs, but then promptly dispelled the idea. He valked around, casually looking at what seemed like a hoard of Hogwartz students. And maybe a Beauxbatonz one over zhere?
People watching, honestly one of her favorite past times, favorite things to.do like ever, mainly cause people did the craziest things when they didnt know they were being watched. She glanced over at the entrance every now and again as some other students she know walked in, some adults too. She stayed at her table and had a spoon in her glass and was stirring her pumpkin juice consistently, watching, waiting, for something, anything to happen. Then she saw a guy come in, one obviously a student, but she didnt recognize him, in the slightest. He was saying something to himself and Ariana couldnt well hear what he was saying she heard the accent and well, no one talked like that at hogwarts in a normal basis, not that she knew of anyway. With her intrest peaked she kept her gaze about the room she made sure to keep a watch on him. She was people watching you know she was watching everyone. Even you McIntyre and Potter.

Aw, another hug. Wade smiled as he felt her hug him, making him hug her back. He loved hugs, yes he said. He was about to thank her for the compliment when she told him he was amazing, but she insisted, so he laughed a little. "Alright then." He was very thankful and appreciative of the gifts she gave him, nodding with her, "Well, you did awesome, Tay." Smiling, "Yeah.. he really is. You both are the best." He felt so great about the gifts and how his friends had put thought into them too. "Reserve? That's great, it's cool that you made the team." Maybe they'll end up playing against each other. Heh, now that'd be a real cat versus dog.
Hmm.. so she didn't know. Guess her and Nash had some things to talk about then. He tilted his head smiling softly at her, which turned into a laughter. "Sure, I can always get some more from little Tobes. The happiest second year in our house." He beamed.. until he heard the sadness about the Tay's twin. "Aw, I'm sorry to hear that." He gave her a nice hug before she got too upset. Maybe it was too painful to continue talking about it. "So, what are you doing for the break? Any plans?"

Vhy vas this girl vatching him? Vilhelm eyed her suspiciously. Vas she spying? Yes maybe. He glared defiantly at her.
"Vhat do you vant?" he said a little rudely, then rephrased it. "Um... do you vant something?

Stare...... STARE still people watching, still eyeing and watching people in the room. Still stiring her pumpkin juice the girl was content and was even considering going over and bothering Taylor. Considering, until someone said something in her direction.
Scuse us?! She narrowed her eyes and stoped stirring her drink,"excuse me?" she said back to him just as.if not more rudely then the first time he phrased his words, "s'not be rude, kay?" she said again with a raised brow. Really dont be rude if you want answers, kid especially answers from us.

Even if he was old.
OLD.
Oh good. He didn't mind if she sat with him. That would've been super awkward. She hadn't meant to, but she was super interested in talking about Greece. "I bet. I'd love to visit some day. Is there a place that is nicer than the others? I was in Egypt a while this summer, have you ever been there? It's aweeesomeee."
Culture, food, weather.... fascinating, incredible and fantastic. Ugh, it sounded perfect.
Hah. Yeah. Pierson laughed. "Thirteen years," he repeated, almost amused. Because it was funny. Cat was surprised, he assumed, even if she was doing a good job at hiding it. It's okay. He was old. He knew it. At least he didn't have grey hair yet.
"I have been to Egypt, yes. It's very... dry." Obvious observation. It wasn't his favorite place to be, but it was an interesting vacation.
Back to Greece, though. Piers got comfortable in his chair. "I spent most of my time in Athens, since that's where my school was. It's a great city - very big - if you like that sort of thing, being in the middle of all the action, I suppose. Up north is more of the country, which is beautiful, but I was more a fan of the oceanside. The islands are my favorite." The whole place was amazing, but he had his favorite spots. He didn't know if he would ever go back... at least not anytime soon. But it had been a good several years while it lasted.
'He was glad' her behind, Louisa knew he wasn't glad and that he thought it was somehow inappropriate or whatever. He'd said this much in his letters, but she was really glad that he finally understood that he had no say in what she did in her life now. He could just shake his head and disapprove silently.

She gave him a small but genuine smile.
Hmm, good. João nodded to show he understood. He had recently begun to live his life that way too. It was less stressful.
...were those... closing words? He looked at her attentively. His face was composed carefully--he would only let his guards down around Aspen--but he wanted to stare at her with this silly and surprised expression. It hadn't even been freakin' 30 minutes and she wanted to go? He actually couldn't believe it! He'd apparated all the way from Tottenham VS. she wanted to get drunk and was bidding farewell after half an hour. She valued their friendship so much.
"Sure," he said and smiled back. He thought he did a good job with 'genuineness' of his smile, but eyes were the key and he couldn't perfect his smile that much yet. "I thank you for your time. We should totally meet like this again." Particularly like this. Goodness! The change she'd been through was incredible, and hurt him deeply.
"Goodbye, then." He got up. He wasn't even going to hug her. He was just going to act like he'd forgotten, so he headed towards the counter without a pause, fishing his wallet in the process.
Daichi. He was apparently a more important chap than João.
Aw, another hug. Wade smiled as he felt her hug him, making him hug her back. He loved hugs, yes he said. He was about to thank her for the compliment when she told him he was amazing, but she insisted, so he laughed a little. "Alright then."

Taylor smiled as he smiled and hugged her back. Tay beamed as he said she did awesome, ”YAY!” She got up and twirled in delight a few times then beamed from ear to ear at him. ”Glad to hear that.” Taylor nodded, ”Yes.” Tay blushed, ”I aint the best… but Alec and you are.” She gave him a smile to him. Taylor nodded, ”Yeah, I play reserve.” Tay shrugged, ”I guess… whenever I try out, I get reserve it seems.” She giggled and smiled. Taylor laughed, ”Okay, sounds like a plan.” Tay nodded at him. She shrugged and waved it away, ”Im used to it.” Taylor smiled lightly as he hugged her. Tay hugged him back, ”I am probably going home… my mom always hosts this huge fancy party each holiday break… you can come with your girlfriend if you want.” She gave a light smile, ”That is if you don’t have other plans… what are you doing over break?” Tay giggled at him and smiled.

Tay was way too sweet. It was no wonder Wade and her got along so well. "Heeey, of course you are the best." There was no denying that to Wade. Heh. He tilted his head slightly looking at her smiling, "Better than not making team," Juust in case she didn't like reserve. He listened to her plans about the break, "Oh? that sounds nice." He was a little surprised by the invite, but smiled all the same, "Why thank you Tay, I'll see if Indy and I can make it then." Now it was his turn to talk about the break, "Just the usual dinner with my family, and then Indy's taking me to a Safari." Another exciting break for Wade. He looked around at some of the others around them, mainly the visiting students, "It's amazing.. this event about to go on, and getting to see the other foreign students around.." He wondered what Tay thought of them as he sipped his butterbeer, effectively giving him a nice foamy coat over his 'stache.
It had been over a year since Adeline had been to Hogsmeade and near Hogwarts in general. The sixteen year old missed this place so much but her not being there are the castle and attending classes was for a very good reason that she could not tell anyone about, yes it was top secret but she wasn't ready to tell anyone yet.
Adeline walked into the entrance of The Three Broomsticks, she wondered if anyone had remembered who she was, she was barely on twitter these days and she barely had time to owl anyone with the homeschooling thing and living with Caroline and Jonny was tiring and busy just plain busy.
But seriously where had the time gone, she would have been a sixth year this term, time just passed by so fast these days, she hadn't been at Hogwarts since her fourth year and she was happy to be back for a short lived visit but she still wanted to be able to go back for next term but she knew that it wouldn't happen at all.

With her new purchase wrapped neatly around her neck, Schuyler made her way on in to the Three Broomsticks with Aidan. It was nice to put the scarf to use outside in the cold, but she had to admit that it was also nice walking into the warmth inside the pub. And it was pretty crowded in here. Must have been a sort of hot spot. Good to know.
The Gryffindor weaved around a few people who were on their way out, and she quickly spotted a smaller, open table. "There's one." And with a little hustle to her step so that no one else snagged the table, Schuyler headed on over to it. There. Claimed. She shrugged off her coat and unwrapped her scarf yet again before setting them both on the back of her chair.
Now she took her seat. The girl glanced around and spotted a few servers, as well as a bar where you could order. Well, if a server didn't come around soon, they could get their coffees on their own. She turned back to Aidan. "So, no vote for a ball, for you? Way to be a killjoy," she joked. Despite the fact that boys didn't share quite the same amusement in getting all dolled up and such, most guys did like the idea of spending time with girls and dates and all.

"I have been to Egypt, yes. It's very... dry." Obvious observation. It wasn't his favorite place to be, but it was an interesting vacation.
Back to Greece, though. Piers got comfortable in his chair. "I spent most of my time in Athens, since that's where my school was. It's a great city - very big - if you like that sort of thing, being in the middle of all the action, I suppose. Up north is more of the country, which is beautiful, but I was more a fan of the oceanside. The islands are my favorite." The whole place was amazing, but he had his favorite spots. He didn't know if he would ever go back... at least not anytime soon. But it had been a good several years while it lasted.
"Dry, yeah. Especially in summer and all, but I enjoyed it a lot cause of all the history and stuff. My aunt is the curator at the Abdeen Palace Museum in Cairo." NOD. NOD. Important stuff, you know? "She let me help her with stuff." Cool stuff. Mummies. She grinned then, thinking of her mummy boyfriend.
Mummies were soooooo cooooooolllll.
She leaned her elbow on the table and listened intently as he spoke about Greece. It wasn't even that it was him and his awesome facial hair talking, it was just what he was talking about. Thinking of beautiful places made her so happy. "It sounds amazing. Lots of history there too. I like history." And pretty places and oceans. "Do you think you'll go back some day?" She was already making plans to go there herself.
Tora grinned and maybe even laughed a bit at Adrienne's response. "Oh so very funny," she said mock sternly.
-----
Oh. She was French. Unfortunately for Tora, she knew no French whatsoever and was therefore at a great disadvantage in this conversation as she knew that her best friend, Adrienne spoke the language fluently. She would normally have repeated the girl's name back with a 'nice to meet you', but after hearing Adrienne's perfect pronunciation, Tora didn't want to butcher the name with her British accent.
If this girl was not new to Hogwarts, and if Adrienne's guess was right, then this girl was visiting from Beauxbatons. Though if this girl was from that French school, it meant that she must be here for that Academic Tournament thing from the paper. Either that or for some other random academic purpose; Tora seriously doubted the second option.
This piqued Tora's curiosity. If the students from Beauxbatons had been chosen, then who were the students from Hogwarts? What year were they in? Would she know them? Was she in any of their classes? Were any of them from her House? She would have asked Zéline, but she didn't think that the French girl would know, so she stayed silent, and gave a friendly smile.

Adrienne grinned as the girl joined them. Maybe she'd find out what suspicious things she was up to now! Because she was definitely doing suspicious things. Definitely."It's just me and Tora, as of now," she said, gesturing to her best friend. Not that she had many other friends, as a matter of fact. She was more apt to make enemies or acquaintances than actual friends, so the fact that she and Tora were actually close was quite impressive.
...Was that a French accent she detected? "Adrienne Colbert," she said in response, holding out a hand to shake. And yes! It was! Adrienne smiled eagerly. "Marseille? I spend my summers quite near there, in Aix-en-Provence. Are you from Beauxbatons, then?" she asked, flipflopping back and forth between French and English accents for the various words in each language. She hadn't spoken to anyone from France since school had started, except for a few letters to Mamie and Papie, so she was excited to meet someone new from there. "It's nice to meet you, Zéline," she said, pronouncing the name exactly how the girl had done it.
Zéline was slightly taken aback by the girl's French accent and raised her eyebrows as she observed the younger girl go on and on about her time in France. Aix-en-Provence. "Mmmm. Ah, oui, I attend Beauxbatons." The fifth year confirmed proudly whilst sitting perfectly straight and looking around to watch some other people around them. All Hogwarts students, probably.
She gave the silent girl a almost suspicious look before turning back to the one who was talking. "Mmm. Nice to meet you too." Zéline replied politely, about to look away again. Wait, Adrienne? She looked back at the girl after realising what she was called. "Do you 'ave Frrench backgrround?" She asked, looking a tad bit more curious.

It was nice to put the scarf to use outside in the cold, but she had to admit that it was also nice walking into the warmth inside the pub. And it was pretty crowded in here.

Despite the fact that boys didn't share quite the same amusement in getting all dolled up and such, most guys did like the idea of spending time with girls and dates and all.
Aidan gladly followed Schuyler inside...and to the table...and watched her take her warm weather wear off. But he didn't sit down. Not yet. "I don't know," he answered first about the ball, standing over her, "Dressing up? Fancy dancing? Not my thing. But as long as there's food..." he trailed off. As long as there was food, he could put up with anything.
But he was not a killjoy. A ball didn't sound very joyful. More like supervised half-fun times.
"Speaking of which, the only way to get your food in here is to go up to the bar. Takes forever otherwise. You really want coffee?" And, of course, he'll get it for her. Hence why he hadn't taken a seat yet.

Schuyler noticed that Aidan didn't sit. And this could only mean that he was going to go get their orders for them. Or that's what she presumed. Aha, so that's why Aidan wasn't so hot on the idea of a dance or ball or anything like that. He didn't want to dress up. "That's the exact reason I would like one," she smiled. Food could lure him in, though. Or so he said. Besides, maybe a lot of boys weren't so gung-ho about dressing up, but they should be! In most cases, they looked very dapper all nice and cleaned up like that..
Yes, so her assumption had been right. And it was very chivalrous of him to go up to the bar for them. "Yes, please. With cream and sugar.

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.
Cat wrinkled her nose at Mo. "You're making me hungry. I'm almost certain if there was no one else around, you could hear my stomach rumbling." And maybe if they kept talking about food, they'd hear that anyway. Except she was temporarily distracted from thinking about food when her adorable boyfriend had more 'cheesy' things to say. "I don't think that's cheesy at all, I think it's sweet." And there was even giggling happening to prove it.
"Walking faster!" She did try, though his legs were longer than hers and it would be more productive for him to walk faster and carry her. Right? Maybe next time. Cat bounced when they quickly reached the Three Broomsticks and nudged the door open.
"Look, there's plently of tables free. We don't have to sit with anyone else." Nope. She didn't want to do that anyway. This was meant to be a Marcus!Caterina date, not a Marcus!Caterina!other!people date.
"Let's sit over heeerreeee." She decided, trying to steer him in her chosen direction.

Mo was more than happy to let Cat choose their seat once inside the pub, although he made a point of pulling out her chair before taking up his own beside her. The place wasn't nearly as crowded as he could have expected, especially considering Hogsmeade weekend and the trivia thingy. He glanced around for familiar faces.
"What do you want from the menu? I'll go place our orders, and I'll get you a drink. Butterbeer?" Obviously butterbeer. It was Mo's favorite... who didn't like butterbeer? Crazy people. That was who.
"So Valentine's Day is coming up soon. I should plan something special... it's my turn again, right?" He reached across the table to take her hand. "That gives me time to write a whole book of cheesy things."

"You know one of the things I like about you?" Cat started as she sat down and waited for Mo to sit too, grinning at him. "You always do that chair thing for me. It's so proper and gentlemanly." Her boyfriend was a gentleman. His mama would be so proud, right?
She grabbed up a menu and looked it over thoughtfully. "Want to share soup and sandwhiches with me?" Soup sounded good, with all the COLD and she was HUNGRY, she just didn't want to tax out his pockets. They could share, yes? "I want Butterbeer." Nod. "And kisses and snuggles but those aren't on the menu." She griiinnnneeed at him over the page. GRIN. See that there? That was smart.
"Is it your turn? We're not doing a very good job with turns, are we?" Hmmm. "I like cheese and books and you and books made by you." But they'd mostly already established that.
Timeline: After the first tasks (anyone just come and talk to her)
Karina needed to unwind after the very interesting task and so visited the Three Broomsticks, the pub that she had not yet had the chance to truly visit. She moved over to an empty table and sat down, wondering if she had to go order up at the bar or if a waitperson would come ask her for her order. Hmmm. She would just wait for now. In a little while she would go up and order if no one came around. Now though, she just sat back and relived the task she completed, looking through her memories to find things she could have done better, things to improve on, and thinking in general about what challenges lay ahead.
