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.

Ah, The Three Broomsticks. Seemed the perfect place to have a meal and to meet the locals.
Ström sat at a table in the pub, enjoying the first but having no luck with the second as the place was devoid of anyone but himself and the shopkeeper. Weird. And supposedly, those Hogwartians had a free weekend. Maybe they'd all decided to stay up at the castle? He couldn't blame them, after all, it was a bit chilly. Not for him, but for anyone not used to it.....
He popped a chip into his mouth and watched the door, waiting for someone he could pounce on greet.

Brrrrrrrrrr!
As soon as he had taken his first step out of the castle, Alec immediately regretted his decision to take a trip down to Hogsmeade. It wasn't as if he hadn't been here before; visits to the village never usually went amiss by the boy. Except... it was COLD. And he couldn't help but think of the hot chocolate he could have been sipping back in the common room. Hot chocolate... complete with whipped cream and extra marshmallows.
... This settled it. He had to go and get himself some hot cocoa. Which meant... yes! PERFECT.
The Hufflepuff hurried along towards the door of the Three Broomsticks before heading inside. The immediate rush of warmth was comforting; so much so, that Alec took off his beanie and ruffled his hair into place. That was probably another reason as to why he should have stayed at the castle. Beanies were comfortable but they did tend to--
... BLINK. There was only one person here? Confused, the boy took a couple of steps forward and looked around, as if expecting more people to pop out from underneath tables or around the side of the bar. But... it was more or less empty. Apart from stranger over there. He shrugged before taking off his coat and hanging it up by the door, along with his beanie. He turned back to look over at the stranger... and then at the tables. There was something great about the emptiness: choice of seats! He headed over towards an empty table and sat down as quietly as possible. There.

... More people were coming, right?
After stocking up on her shampoo and conditioner at the salon, Ella decided to take a stroll along the street and window shop. This decision would have been a more perfect one if it weren't for the bitter cold. BRRRR. The blonde found that after passing one or two more places, her fingers were like icicles and she couldn't stand it any longer. She really should have brought her elephant mitts mittens that Wade had knit for her. Bad life choices, Ella Bishop. Sheesh.
Spotting The Three Broomsticks ahead, the seventeen year old hurried towards it. Surely she could warm up in there, yeah? ...Yeah.
...
So...it was pretty dead in here. Ella was surprised too because normally the place was filled with students but perhaps the cold had kept them away. Merlin knew she was longing for the warmth of the Hufflepuff fire place right now. Her gaze fell on what she thought was the lone customer in the place and she smiled faintly, not wanting to interrupt him if he wasn't up for a chat. And she'd need to find a seat which wouldn't be too ha-
BEAM.
Boyfriend was here! Hi boyfriend. The blonde's face lit up immediately and she smiled, thinking it funny that they'd both ended up at the same place. She quietly made her way over and took the seat across from him, shrugging off her coat when she got settled. "Fancy meeting you here." Grin.

He was sitting... in the Three Broomsticks... all on his own. Great. Just... GREAT. His grey-blue eyes scanned the area some more before landing on the stranger. Lone stranger. He had half an urge to go up to the stranger and talk to him because... hey, why not? Before he could do more than blink at the guy for a second or so -- why was he so creepy? -- the door opened and he turned to look over at--
GIRLFRIEND.
The grin was instantaneous and he watched as she headed over towards... him! YEAH! Maybe she'd want some hot cocoa too? Especially if she was cold? ... Was she cold? Did she need his coat? Or his beanie? He was sure both of those things would look good on her, no matter what. And was that a dress she was wearing?
"And you!" he said, grinning some more at her, "I didn't know you were coming down to Hogsmeade today!" Otherwise he would have waited for her and they could have walked down together. Unless... she had actually been waiting for someone else to hang out with. But that wasn't important since she was here now. What was important was...
... "Do you want anything to eat?" Because he was STARVED. And he'd pay. Nodnod.

He looked really nice, Alec did. The kind of nice that made Ella want to kiss him only she refrained for the moment. And it was hard, the refraining thing. Instead she sheepishly held up her shopping bag and smiled. "Had to grab some stuff from the Salon." Hair stuff, obviously. He'd probably figured as much, yeah? They had the hair thing in common. "What about you? I didn't expect to see you here." But it was a pleasant surprise.
Food? "Yes please." Big smile for the boyfriend. Ella was starved. "Hot chocolate and..." What went good with hot chocolate? Duh. More chocolate! "And a brownie?" Please and thank you.

The salon? "The one that's down the road?" ... That... was probably the only salon on the street, right? Great. Way to make a fool of yourself, Summers. But hey, salon meant HAIR so had she bought something to do with hair? "Buy anything interesting from there?" As for him... his reasoning wasn't as interesting. In fact, it was probably going to make him come across as the lame Hufflepuff that he was. "Erm... I just decided to come to Hogsmeade and take a walk but then I felt cold so I came here..." See? Completely lame and uninteresting.
So food was happening! AWESOME. Hot chocolate and... a brownie? "Candy Girl would be really proud of that choice if she knew," GRIN. "But it sounds awesome. You sure you don't want anything else?" He smiled at her for a moment before looking down at the menu himself. There... were a lot of choices, actually.

It was the only salon on the street but Ella didn't let on that she'd noticed. Instead she smiled and nodded in confirmation, pulling the bag down some so that he could see what was inside. "Shampoo and conditioner. I've heard some good things about it so I wanted to give it a try." And she shrugged, covering the contents again and placing the bag on the chair beside her. She was much more interested in what he'd been up to, y'know? "I'm really glad I bumped into you, y'know." So the walk thing had actually been a pretty good idea, boyfriend.
"You think?" GRIN. "I'll have to mention it to her, then?" She'd have suggested bringing her a brownie back but there was no promising she wouldn't eat it on the way. As for wanting anything else, the blonde shook her head. "Nope. What are you going to have?" Hmmm?

Alec was really glad that she hadn't mentioned anything about the 'only salon on the street'. Or had she even noticed it in the first place? ... She probably had. There was no way she could have missed that. But hey, the topic of conversation had turned to something about hair! He leant forwards slightly and took a peek inside the bag. "Oh! Well... I hope it works for you!" Even if she already had great hair that he... sort of... couldn't help... but stare at. BLINK. ... Alec reached up a hand and ruffled his hair, glad that the Captain had gone on to say something else. "You are?"
The boy nodded before saying, "Awesome! Do you two... talk a lot?" Because if so, that was almost like Ells and Astrid talking to each other and getting along. Things like that made Alec REALLY happy! ... You know... when certain 'w' words weren't mentioned. "Okay!" His eyes scanned the list once last time. "I think... I might get a brownie too. And cookies. And... strawberry shortcake!" Could she tell that he was hungry?

As he went to pick another chip from his plate, Ström noticed that someone else had entered the pub and was staring. At him. He gave the other young man a polite wave, then watched as he was shortly joined by a pretty blonde girl. Hmm, friend of his? Were they Hogwartians? Certainly seemed so.
After a few more minutes of watching the two, Ström decided that these were definitely a couple of the Hufflepuffs that Headmaster Zitnik had mentioned that he was suppose to get to know. You know, after he'd read up on all the houses, of course. He picked up his plate and drink and moved over to their table.
Tora wandered into The Three Broomsticks, basking in the sudden warmth of the pub. She looked about for anyone she knew, and seeing no one she knew personally she decided to sit by herself. It was impolite to just randomly walk up to someone else's conversation, especially when they were older students. She knew that she wouldn't be sitting alone for long though. Someone would probably wander into the popular meeting place sooner or later and then she would have someone to sit with. For now, she pulled out a book she had been trying to finish and started to read.

He hoped they worked for her? Did that mean he thought her hair needed work? "I...thanks." Ella ran a hand through her hair with a slightly concerned expression before deciding it was perfectly soft and silky. Phew. Anyways, eyes back on the boyfriend because he had a nice face and Ella was going to enjoy looking at it. BEAM. "Yeah, of course. This means we can hang out." Which was her favorite thing to do, in case he didn't know.
"Me and Lex? When we see each other we do." Nodnod. Ella quite enjoyed the Gryffindor. She had spunk, y'know? Ella appreciated spunk. She smiled and shook her head when Alec shared all that he'd be ordering, amused. "Someone is hungry!" Grin. "You'll share cookies with me, yeah?" Hopeful looks. Ella could definitely down some cookies.

"Hello, you two. Quite chilly out there, huh?"
She would have said more about sharing kisses later too but then they had company. OH! It was the dude that had been sitting by himself. Stranger dude. He seemed polite and very alone so Ella gave him a smile.
"Hey. Yeah, really cold. Not a great day to be outside." Because it was cold. ... ... EEP. She was failing at this small talk stuff. The blonde glanced at the boyfriend for help because she was being awkward per usual and then back at stranger boy. "I'm Ella, by the way. And this is Alec." Grin at the boyfriend. "You don't go to Hogwarts, do you?" Cause he didn't look familiar. Not at all.
A year and a half. It's been a year and a half since Louisa was in Hogsmeade, yet when she first stepped into the main street everything looked and felt so familiar and warm. She had a small smile on her lips walking down the familiar road, the memories rushing back too fast; this is where she pulled off that flirting charade with Paulie, this is where she followed Vashti and Anakin to their first date, this is when she saw Dallin and Ellie holding hands and be in love, and this is where she was supposed to meet Joao today.
The door creaked a bit when she opened it, the warm aroma hitting her face and warming up her red cheeks instantly. She paused, taking off her coat and looking around the place for any familiar faces. Nope. No one she recognized, although the boy at one of the tables looked oddly familiar (Alec). Hmm. Anyways.
Louisa claimed a two-chair table and set her coat on the back of her chair, crossing her legs and taking the menu in her hands. Aaah, a glass of firewhiskey would be great.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Instead of waiting around, Daichi first figured he should warm up with a cup of hot chocolate before moving forward to the next shop. As he opened the door to The Three Broomsticks, he dusted off the snow from his hair and shoulders and unwrapped his grey scarf.
It wasn't like he was meeting someone here but if he saw someone he knew then that would be fine as well. But first he needed to warm up. As the ex-Slytherin made his way to the bar to order a drink his brown eyes landed on a girl ....that he knew... Taking a seat at the bar, the eighteen year old didn't take his eyes off of her. And then it hit him. "LOUISAAAA~!" He WAVED enthusiastically from his seat at the bar and jumped up to run towards her. He stopped before he did this action and sat back down again. She looked like she was waiting for someone so..it was rude to come in between right?
YUSH! he would sit at this bar, order a hot chocolate and SPY on them~! Wait...was he a spy if he had already given away his location? mweh... "Can i have a hot chocolate please?" he asked the barkeeper and found his money in his pocket.

.... oh wow. That was definitely her name. Louisa turned around and saw a big boy waving at her, and then jumping off his stool to come over but changing his mind at the last minute.
...
....
Daichi?!! A chuckle rose inside her, she got up to her feet, leaving her coat and handbag at the table, and went to say a quick hello. "Merlin's Beard, I can't believe it's you! You have stubbly chin!" She wrapped her arms around the younger former Slytherin and squeezed him a bit before letting go, and staring into his face, "Merlin's Beard. No more baby cheeks to pinch. What is this magic, huh." She nudged him, with a smirk on her face. "I'm waiting for someone at the table, maybe we can take a walk after you're done with your drink and I'm done with my appointment?" Hmm? Pleeeeease? Louisa continued to stare at his stubbly chin with a smirk. MERLIN. He was old.

Which was her favorite thing to do, in case he didn't know.
"Me and Lex? When we see each other we do." Nodnod. Ella quite enjoyed the Gryffindor. She had spunk, y'know? Ella appreciated spunk. She smiled and shook her head when Alec shared all that he'd be ordering, amused. "Someone is hungry!" Grin. "You'll share cookies with me, yeah?" Hopeful looks. Ella could definitely down some cookies.
She would have said more about sharing kisses later too but then they had company. OH! It was the dude that had been sitting by himself. Stranger dude. He seemed polite and very alone so Ella gave him a smile.
"Hey. Yeah, really cold. Not a great day to be outside." Because it was cold. ... ... EEP. She was failing at this small talk stuff. The blonde glanced at the boyfriend for help because she was being awkward per usual and then back at stranger boy. "I'm Ella, by the way. And this is Alec." Grin at the boyfriend. "You don't go to Hogwarts, do you?" Cause he didn't look familiar. Not at all.

After a few more minutes of watching the two, Ström decided that these were definitely a couple of the Hufflepuffs that Headmaster Zitnik had mentioned that he was suppose to get to know. You know, after he'd read up on all the houses, of course. He picked up his plate and drink and moved over to their table.
"Hello, you two. Quite chilly out there, huh?"
Things always seemed to become awkward between the two of them, for some reason. Always. And this seemed to be one of those cases. ... Or... maybe it was just him? "Erm... anytime?" Also, she shouldn't touch her hair like that because it made him stare and want to touch her hair, which seemed to be happening to him right now. ... At least she was smiling, yeah? He grinned at her before saying, "I like the sound of hanging out with you."
"It's great that you two get along!" Yeah, he was REALLY glad about this tiny little fact. Even if he himself hadn't talked to her in quite some time. ... That... needed to be changed. Maybe some-- ... Did the girl just shake her head at him? "I can't help it?" he said, a sheepish expression crossing his face, "Of course! I think... the menu said that they come in twos?" Perfect, much?
...
Oh HEY! Look who it was! Waving dude. "Hey there!" he said, giving the guy a single wave and a smile. He was joining them? Yeah? Awesome. Good choice, stranger dude. "Very," Nodnod. "Guess it's a good thing it's quite warm in here."
The Hufflepuff shot the blonde haired girl a smile, as if he was trying to tell her that she wasn't doing a bad job at the small talk thing. Not at all! At least, he was sure it was better than anything he could do. And speaking of small talk, he should really say something, right? Be polite and all that. But what should he say? Make a joke? Talk about how they could sneak him into Hogwarts if he wanted them to? ... Yeah, no.
He did smile, though, when their introductions were made. "And what brings you to Hogsmeade if... if you're not from around here?" See? He was BAD at small talk.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Louisa continued to stare at his stubbly chin with a smirk. MERLIN. He was old.
HE HAD A STUBBY CHIN?!
Daichi touched his chin and was shocked that...she was right. "But i don't want to have a stubby chin~~!" he whined. It wasn't like it was THAT visible but for someone standing so close , like Louisa was, it might me. So he rubbed his hand on his chin, cause a red spot to appear.
Great, now it looked like he had a red beard GAAAH!
As Louisa hugged him, or more like squeezed him to death the former Slytherin felt a sense of happiness. After he graduated he hadn't stayed in contacted with anyone, he was glad he had meet someone here now. "I never had baby cheeks! i was a manly man!" geez.
So he had been right about her meeting someone. His brown eyes looked at the seats for a second and then...punched Louisa against her arm. "IDIOT! your stuff could get stolen if you leave them behind like that!" Honestly! But then he smiled and nodded his head "I have soooo much tell you~! But i'll tell you alllll about my awesome Prefect-ness" hint hint "after your appointment."
.......... "Are you on a DATE?!" huh huh? do tell! And no , he didn't had any twinkly eyes liar"You go back to that chair before your stuff get stolen ..or your DATE walks out i'll spy over here...eh you didnt hear that last part!"
Tora wandered into The Three Broomsticks, basking in the sudden warmth of the pub. She looked about for anyone she knew, and seeing no one she knew personally she decided to sit by herself. It was impolite to just randomly walk up to someone else's conversation, especially when they were older students. She knew that she wouldn't be sitting alone for long though. Someone would probably wander into the popular meeting place sooner or later and then she would have someone to sit with. For now, she pulled out a book she had been trying to finish and started to read.
Adrienne hurried into the pub, unfortunately wearing her usual thin plaid shirt and black jeans and nothing warmer, so it was quite a relief to get into the warmth. She was glad for the first Hogsmeade weekend of the year, but why on earth did it have to be so cold? She was nearly freezing her toes off, and she could really do with a hot cocoa and some warm food.
To her surprise, it was fairly empty, with only a cluster of older students in one place, a couple of adults talking by by the bar and Tora reading something (as usual) all on her own. Oh, and was that annoying Hufflepuff who goes by some name that starts with an A? Yeah, he was talking to another Puff that she recognised, and then someone Adrienne was pretty sure she'd never seen before in her life. She cast them an odd glance, but didn't approach them, instead deciding to silently head over to Tora and tap her on the shoulder while actually standing on her other side.
Joăo was excited for this meeting. He'd missed Louisa, although he couldn't admit it, and he was pleased when she sent him a letter to meet him. He was smug, even. So he didn't rush to Hogsmeade to arrive before her. If he was the first, fine; if he wasn't, that was alright too.
He was wearing a grey sweater with a black t-shirt underneath, jeans and boots. He didn't carry any bag, naturally. He just carried a box of finest Brazilian chocolate, bought by his mum before the... stuff. He frowned upon remembering her and took a deep breath. She couldn't ruin this.
He opened the door to the familiar café and stood by the entrance until he spotted her. She was talking to a boy he barely recognised, but... surely the boy didn't belong to their table? He wanted to see her ALONE, after all. He didn't hear their conversation though not because the place was crowded, but because he wasn't paying attention. Putting on a smile that came naturally with Louisa, he walked to them in his confident manner.
Or, rather to a retreating Louisa.
He eyed the boy intelligently and nodded politely. He must be someone from school. Joăo was sure he'd seen him around, but no names came to his mind. Whatever.
"Louisa," he greeted her with a big smile, putting the chocolate box between them. It even had a red ribbon on it.
Daichi touched his chin and was shocked that...she was right. "But i don't want to have a stubby chin~~!" he whined. It wasn't like it was THAT visible but for someone standing so close , like Louisa was, it might me. So he rubbed his hand on his chin, cause a red spot to appear.

Welp, those were two contradicted notions. He didn't want stubble and yet he denied the baby cheeks. Louisa quirked an eyebrow at him and didn't reply because he DID have stubbly chin, she was ready to touch his face and prove it if she didn't know how shy Daichi was.
OW. O.O Did he just punch her arm??? Daichi??? Cute Daichi that tried to steal her kitty once upon a time? Louisa froze for a moment, rubbing her punched arm, before she burst out in laughter. "Oh I'm loving what graduating did to you. All tough and manly, eh?" Nudgenudge. "I can't wait to hear all about it." She was still laughing.
Of course. He'd think she was on a date. Although it didn't make sense that she would cross half the world to get a date in the three broomsticks. At least the date should've been somewhere fancy in London to make up for her travel troubles. But this was Daichi with his overly-excited... self. So Louisa pushed her mouth in a lopsided smile, "Not a date. Just meeting up with a very old friend." She didn't know if Daichi knew or remembered who Joao was, but if he really was going to spy on her (which elicited a heartily laugh from her), he'd know who she was meeting in a few! She leaned closer and hugged him again, "I'll see you in a bit, chinbutt." With a snicker she dodged away from him and quickly made her way back to her table.

"Louisa," he greeted her with a big smile, putting the chocolate box between them. It even had a red ribbon on it.
"There are for you."
Joăo was already meeting her at their table. Louisa's smirk was dropped and replaced with a small, nostalgic smile. She didn't know whether to hug him like they normally do or just shake his hand? Shaking his hand was awfully lame and awkward, and seeing that he had a chocolate box with a cute ribbon, she inclined to just smile and sit down in her chair. "Hey you. Long time no see." No kidding. The chocolate got her full attention now, "Always the gent, huh?" She chuckled and started opening the box. He can be the one with high society etiquette and manners for both of them, she was going to smudge her mouth and face eating chocolate right now.
"Brazilian chocolate? I expect Brazil nuts choclate." She grinned, bit into the wrappings of the box and tore them off it with her teeth. A little eager to have some. Don't mind her.

Joăo regretted not hugging her, but didn't try anything either. He simply sat down across, and watched her curiously--a habit from Aspen.
"With you in New Zealand, it's a bit hard." He was only teasing, though. He had finally understood it had been too hard for her after Vincenzo, and he wanted the best for her.
"That's my middle name," he said, chuckling along. He raised his eyebrows when she tore the paper open, but didn't say anything. Was she angry? Did they serve food here? It had been too long since he'd been here. He looked around distractedly before answering her.
"You know, I try to hide my fondness for him." The box was actually a mixture of all kinds--almond, nuts, milk, bitter. Anything she liked.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Craaaap! He had punched her arm! He had punched a girls arm! Was he going to get yelled at again? ...like that time in Knockturn Alley? EEEEEK if he had to deal with that again he'd rather go back to that Dark Wizard...at least he seemed nice--WAS SHE LAUGHING?! "A-are you making fun of me?" his cheeks blushed as he sat down on the stool at the bar.
But no time for that because it seemed that her DATE had just walked in WITH A BOX OF CHOCOLATES KYAAA~ ok he acted like a girl right now..which he kind of was but whatever aww man! not a date but just a friend?
"Ok, i'll see la--CHINBUTT?!" he flailed his arms as he watched the older girl walk to her table again and it was then that the former Slytherin caught the other guy staring at him. It was the kind of look that made him uncomfortable, like he was judging him. In the back of his mind, he felt like he knew him but no name came up in his mind. He would sit here and stalk..eeeh..drink his hot chocolate when he got some!
We're watching you, mysterious guy who looks familiar!

"You know, I try to hide my fondness for him." The box was actually a mixture of all kinds--almond, nuts, milk, bitter. Anything she liked.
"What would you like to have?"
He was watching her that kind of watchingness that made you feel like a genetic mutant who had just been let out of the cage and thrown into the normal world. Louisa knew who watched people like that, but didn't bother making that conclusion now, and instead she started eating the first piece of chocolate in slow motion - making all the disgusting sounds and stuff.
... of him? Okay, the slow motion charade was dropped as her eyebrows knotted. "He? He who?" Pause. "The Brazil Nut nickname giver?" She forced out a laugh and popped another piece of chocolate into her mouth. "I think he hides what he knows of most people." Including Joao liking him secretly. Maybe it was just for the sake of Adam? Even if Adam was practically missing for a year now, no contact, no word from him.
BUT, she wasn't here to complain or whine or be gloomy. Louisa perked up, grinned revealing some chocolate stained teeth, and answered instantly, "A glass of firewhiskey please, with this chocolate." Yum yum yummm. She licked her teeth and took ANOTHER chocolate. "Those are so good, thank you." Chewing and talking. She was being completely herself today. Hopefully her dress didn't fool Joao into thinking she changed or matured because then he was up for a big surprise, hehe.
Zéline wandered about, not entirely sure of where to go. She knew nothing of the place and the other Beauxbatons students had gone separate ways, which she did not mind, honestly. Although companion would be nice, she could find her way around without help, even not knowing the place.
Adjusting her bag on her shoulder, she noticed a sign on top of a doorway and thought The Three Broomsticks had a nice ring to it, so she decided to check the place. Zéline entered the pub and walked around. She didn't smile at anyone, but also didn't give rude looks.
It was her first time in England and even though she had had English lessons for many years, she was still too self conscious to start conversations with native speakers. Zéline would be happy just to listen to them. She glanced around the main room and waited for pretty much nothing.
Taylor twirled into the Three Broomsticks and glanced around the room. Tay danced over to a booth and slipped out of her coat, tossing it onto the seat and slipped into the beach, sighing in relief. Her legs were frozen since they were uncovered outside. Taylor glanced at her coat that was thrown beside her and slipped it onto her legs, smiling. They can get warm now and she still looked cute, no? Tay flipped her curls and puffed them up, crossing her legs. She waited for Wade to get there and was hoping she would get to see a certain hufflepuff seventh year quidditch player who just happened to be Wade's friend and also goes by the name Nash Cash. She smiled at the thought and uncrossed her legs to swing them a little, blushing at the thought of him then soon something entered her mind, causing a frown. Her legs stopped swinging and re-crossed her legs. Taylor sighed and a tear came down her cheek. She swiped it away and whimpered but then messed with the menu a little, checking it out and trying to fake happiness so that Wade wouldn't see her upset since Tay was 'happy and perky' and shouldn't be upset and anyways, she was supposed to 'forget about it'. She huffed and rolled her eyes, tossing the menu back on the table. Forget about it? How can I simply forget about it? Is he stupid? A frown showed and she tapped her fingernails on the table and sighed. Taylor closed her eyes and took a deep breath, rubbing her temples, trying to relax. She was here to have fun with Wade... forget about all others but him... the kitty guy... A laugh and a smile escaped her lips and she reopened her eyes, genuinely smiling.
