| | |  Trafalgar Square
 Exiting the subway station for Charing Cross instantly takes you to Trafalgar Square, which is at the south of Charing Cross Road and extends to a number of other streets. The square has been a significant landmark since the 13th century. The bulk of the square is taken up by Nelson's Column, surrounded by four bronze lion statues, and two large fountains featuring dolphins, mermaids, and tritons. In the corners of the square are four plinths, one of which is swapped out for another from time to time, and up a flight of stairs is the National Gallery.
A number of Muggle ceremonies are hosted here during major holidays, such as a seasonal tree ceremony prior to Christmas and a New Years celebration. The space is also occasionally used for political demonstrations, premieres, parade destinations, and more. This area is still primarily used today as a public gathering spot. With that being said, wizards and witches that find themselves here will know better than to whip their wands out.
Heading directly south of the square on Whitehall Road, the can be accessed.

Very true. Him dressing up and not roping her into it ironically for fast food or something irrational like shrunken head bowling would have been a glaring tell that something was afoot. Or she would have simply thought he had lost his mind temporarily and therefore teased him about it not being dress like your father at work day.
He certainly looked a little crazy sitting their in the water though, his hair completely disheveled and sticking to his brow in an attractive way while also being a little slicked back and water dripping everywhere. She briefly considered retracting her hand when she saw what she thought was a hint of a smirk because she would not put it past him to pull her in there with him but she resisted and decided to trust in him that he knew better than to do that. "Trespassing, theft, and larceny. There truly is no end to your diabolical nature," she sighed with an amused shake of the head as she prepared her feet for firm planting on the ground to help pull him up...except for when he took her hand in his he did something both completely expected (or expected as of a few minutes ago before he went for a swim) and unexpected.
"That's...some really elaborate change," she whispered, eyes wide and voice trembling as she stared at her finger and the ring he had just slipped onto it. Sadie gasped a laugh and did the most cliché thing ever in covering her mouth with her other hand while her vision blurred just a little. Congratulations, Curtis, you had managed to render her speechless but not so totally emotionally incapacitated that she was unable to move. Thus, she nodded her head once and then several more times as she dropped her hand from her mouth and climbed, trainers and all, over the edge of the fountain.

His Papa and Daddy did not warn Curtis about this feeling he'd have. How nervous he felt and was visibly shaking likely from the cold and wet water soaking him as he kept looking up at her reaction. It was hard to tell it was either the light or the light shower of the fountain raining on his head, "Is that a yes?" He asked tentatively as she didn't move a muscle. Until he saw her nod. "Yes? YES!" With that, he broke into a mixture of laughter and maybe some cheesy tears as he picked her up into a little spin before meeting her lips with his. Was that applause in the background, or just the sounds of the splashing of his feet and he tried to keep his balance from slipping. "I daresay you just made my life even fuller." And of course, he was smirking.

Minus five out of ten, would not recommend jumping into any fountain while wearing socks and trainers, not that Sadie particularly cared in this moment as her arms wrapped around her fiancé's neck. The spin was so unnecessary, but she could forgive him for it as the moment his lips met hers she was enveloped by a buoyant joy that made ever drenched second worth it. Both hands moved to cradle either side of his face, palms molding to those strong cheekbones of his, as she kissed him back while the playful splashes from the fountain served as a reminder of the unexpected magic of the moment. "Don't ruin the moment by being ridiculous," she laughed against his lips, completely incapable of containing her smile. She hadn't even had a proper moment to examine the ring!
It was only after another moment or two that she pulled back to look at Curtis properly and his insufferable but endearing smirk. Shaking her head, the surreal combination of exhilaration and disbelief eliciting a soft laugh, she plucked a waterlogged leaf from the top of his head and tossed it back into the water. "How about...I visit the Leaky Cauldron another day," she suggested, her arms settling around his neck again as she swayed a little back and forth. "I think I'd much rather go back to our flat to celebrate."

All things considered, Trafalgar Square is a terrible place to meet with someone. The crowds, the smells, the noisy, aspiring musicians lining the perimeter... And yet, what a perfect opportunity to spy people watch.
Claude arrived early, a coffee in hand - his third of the day though it was only noon - and set about assessing his surroundings. A wailing child standing beside his far more agreeable sibling (Claude could only assume), the pruned man in the southern corner entertaining a group of pigeons, and the occasional high-flying selfie stick. As expected, the square is alive and well.
As he awaited the arrival of his date, he ducked down to help a group of confused tourists in navigating the bustling city. The tube? Oh, no need to fret - there's a station just over there. A lunch recommendation? There's a hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese spot a few blocks away.
No need for the gracious thank yous, it's truly a pleasure.

Quite the contrary, Ascella Archer thought the Square was a wonderful place to meet up! Practically speaking, it was in the centre of everything. From here, one might want to gawk at the art in the National Gallery, or toss wishing coins into the fountains - Cella's statue bias was the dolphin, of course, the mermaids here were not physically accurate. Also, it was connected to every other street that mattered, where each turn led to an entirely different adventure of restaurants and boutiques and bookshops and all that jazz.
The place was kinda pretty, too, if one looked at the chaos collectively, like a gigantic painting brought to life.
Optimism was also what Cella brought to the plate, for sure. That's because her 'date' had the tendency to sound like a pompous snob (affectionate).
The former Hufflepuff had to stop in her tracks to make sure that the guy over there, helpfully chatting with a bunch of tourists, was really Claude Botros-Giordano. Not that she was surprised that he was being such a darling resident offering multiple tourist suggestions! Some things just never change. He always put himself out in the crowd.
Hmmmm. Cella's silly cap: On.
"Excuse meeeee!" Shifting her normal voice to a squeaky, mousy pitch for the funsies, she rushed towards Claude and waved a hand in the air as if trying to catch his attention. Yoohoo! Over here! "My dear boy! Might you happen to know where I could find some chickens in the area?" Hehehe.

"My dear boy! Might you happen to know where I could find some chickens in the area?" Hehehe. None of this surprises him by the way. If there is one certainty in this world, it is that Ascella Archer will find a way to put a shiny sheen on anything. That and that her silly cap would be firmly in place. If it weren't, he'd be concerned. And Claude so rarely slipped into concern - not his vibe. He preferred unbothered, unconcerned, care-free, etcetera etcetera.
After helping a young couple, freshly married by the looks of it (they were sporting a pair of shiny rings and honeymoon smiles), the pompous snob turned to help the bird. Mouse. Bird-Mouse. Claude made little effort to hide his amusement. The permanent grin he wore in Cella's presense would be a staple today as well, to no one's surprise. "Hello to you too, birdy," he offered in greeting as he made his way over.
He reached over to pluck an imaginary feather from her 'coat' and as he inspected it, he shook his head. "No chickens today." What a strange sense of humor his bird-mouse friend possessed. "But, I do see a silly goose," he lifted a smug brow as he opened his palm and blew the invisible feather into her space.
Had she missed him? So terribly rude of uni to keep them apart. It was good then that he had plans to occupy the next couple of her weekends. More on that later.
"Coffee?" He offered her his cup. It was still full and he was nothing if not sickeningly polite and exceedingly good-natured.
