The Three Broomsticks is the most well-known pub in the small village, which is why it is often rather crowded with students and adults alike. 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 with a sign featuring the legendary three broomsticks, all fixed around a lantern to light the patrons' way. It certainly looks better kept than the Hog's Head down the street.
Once you enter the pub, the warmth of the large stone fireplace great you as you place hats and coats by the door. Directly in front 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; however, if you're early enough, you can bet your galleons that you'll be nice and toasty by the fire. To the left is the bar where the bartender waits to take your order.

Tristan had been experiencing a roller coaster of emotions ever since he had signed himself up for the Witch Weekly event. He nearly hadn't even done so in the first place, but after remembering the Halloween party...
Maybe it had been a lingering effect of the strange and still unexplained confidence he had experienced that night, or maybe it was just remembering how that had resulted in him asking people to dance and not only had they said yes, but it had also been fun! Though there had been that one girl who had said no - and remembering that was deeply mortifying - but, er, everyone else that had agreed to dance with him had been very nice, and he thought they had had fun as well.
And so with that in mind, in a burst of impulsive confidence, he had signed his name and information on the sheet.
And that was when the fear hit. And then he would brush it off and reassure himself that everything would be fine. Playing on the piano in the music room usually helped.
And then the nerves came back twice as hard.
Back and forth, up and down, until one day the note had finally arrived, and the fear was back in full force because now it was real.
He was...going on a date.
He was somewhat familiar with who Diamond Marchbanks was, at least in passing, but he wasn't as social as his sister Lyla nor did he read magazines like Witch Weekly, so he didn't know enough to gauge how this might go. But maybe that was...good? Maybe it was better to not have something concrete to spiral over and overthink about? Even if he was doing plenty of that anyway...
Either way, Tristan would see it through. His loyalty or integrity or whatever one wanted to call it would never let him back out at this point.
It would all turn out fine...hopefully. And if not? Well, he could always find a hole to crawl into and hide for the next five years.
The Hufflepuff spent much longer than usual getting ready that day. He looked a little pale from nerves, but there wasn't much he could do about that, and aside from that, he thought he looked fine. He could only hope that once they got to talking, he could relax more.
Tristan had hoped to arrive early and arrive first, but some students apparently thought they owned the pathway to Hogsmeade, and they and their friends walked side-by-side to block the entire path the whole way down. They didn't even bother to heed his attempts to politely excuse himself through or around them. Trailing off the path risked getting mud and/or snow all over himself as well, so he was stuck behind the rude, path-hogging students. Merlin's beard.
But at last, he made it to Hogsmeade, and it was easy enough to spot Diamond once he neared The Three Broomsticks.
Managing a smile, he approached her. "Hi, Diamond. You- um, you look great." He...wasn't sure if that was too forward, but it was true either way. She was pretty.
Diamond had seen him coming before he’d even spotted her, which gave her ample time to enjoy the view and analyze his behaviors without knowing he was under the magnifying glass - so to speak. Tristan Rivers was adorable in that fresh-faced, boy-next-door-who-had-no-idea-he-was-charming kind of way. The kind that made girls want to ruffle his hair just to watch him get flustered. But what she really liked - what had her already envisioning the highlight reel of this date in her mind - was the way he looked nervous, but still walked right up to her anyway. A gentle display of eagerness, like how he had weaved his way through the crowded streets. Very different to her own go-to style of elbows out and it was your own fault if you got in their way.
When he complimented her, she let a slow, pleased smile spread across her lips, tilting her head just slightly while considering just how overbearing she was going to be. "I know," she said breezily, brushing an imaginary speck of dust off her coat for emphasis. Then, after letting that settle for just a beat, she gave him a once-over, openly, appreciatively. "And so do you. Glad to see you cleaned up for me. I like the way your hair does that messy, effortless thing...makes you look like you just walked out of some tragic, heartthrob romance novel."
Take notes, Tristan. Cite your sources when giving compliments. It's okay. He could try again later.
Without giving him much time to fumble through a response, she took the initiative, slipping her arm through his as if they had done this a thousand times before. "Come on, pretty boy. If I stand out here any longer, some other poor soul is going to try and flirt with me, and I’d hate to break any more hearts today."
She shot him a playful side glance, squeezing his arm lightly before leading them toward the door. "Now, tell me...are you a butterbeer guy or in the mood for something more cozy like hot cocoa?"

It couldn't be helped. Emi was her match. If Vi happened to ask, Vesp would tell him the truth. She was happily in love. {"Of course we will! Think we should let Emi pick out what we all do ooooor should we plan something fun for them?"} Any and all suggestions would be grately appreciated. See, that was one of the things she loved about Vi. He always understood her need to have some time to herself with Em and he never complained about it.
{"Why doesn't that surprise me at all?"} Vesper laughed softly. {"Are you going to meet up with your friends on the pitch?"} The kid already had a bunch of friends, that much she already knew. {"They really did."} Their papa's were fantastic. Smile on her face, she returned the squeeze to his hand before letting go. {"Don't worry, I remember."}
Even with his crowded the place was only a few minutes later, Ves was on her way to their table with a tray of snacks and drinks.
Was Vesp sure about that? He’d proudly keep holding her hand no matter what age he was, just as he would happily be out and about with their papas any time and any day. He already knew he wasn’t going to be one of those teens who were ashamed to be seen with parents or grew tired of their families.
Vi saw that his sister was happily in love and he was so, so happy for her. If anyone deserved all the happiness in the world, it was Vesper. {“How about a bit of both? We could bring Emi to the Three Broomsticks.”} Was this Vi’s cunning way of wanting to come get some more sugary goodness later on? Yes, it was. {“And we can also let them pick something they want to do.”} By then, Vi would probably poof to give the couple a moment. {“Most likely with Di. He always helps me practise.”} That bestie of his was a real sport for constantly being okay with staying on the pitch so often with him.
Of course Vesp got his order correct. Vi’s face brightened as he saw her approaching and he jumped to his feet to help her ease the trays onto their table. {“I’m starved!”} Not really but he was always hungry for sweets. A brownie was his first target. {“When you’re all settled in, there’s something I want to talk to you about. I hope I won't be bothering you with it...”} Vi didn’t meet her gaze but he really did need to talk about it or he felt as though he’d explode.

Squeeeeee! Her big sister heart! Vesper would melt if she knew that she could expect this in the future. Viano's tender heart and his love for his family was a perfect match for hers. She couldn't have ever asked for a better baby brother.
Yes, yes she was. There was no denying it. Not that she would even try. Vi's suggestion to bring Emi to the Three Broomsticks made her smile. {"We can do that. I think Emi would love that."} Meh, there was no reason to try to be cunning with her. If Vi wanted sweets, sweets he would get. {"Sounds like a good plan to me."} He was always welcome to hangout with them as long as he liked. {"Ah, okay. Well I'm always around too if you ever need someone else to train with." True she wasn't great at Quidditch but she knew the basics.
Of course! When it came to sweets she never messed up. Seeing the smile on his face as he came over to help with the trays brought a wide smile to her own. {"Thanks."} Vesp sat herself down beside him, taking a butterbeer into her hands. {"Everything okay? You know you can talk to me about anything.. anytime that you need to."} There was no bothering her when it came to him. So it was safe to say that all of her attention was focused on him. She was listening.

It was immediately replaced by surprise when she turned a compliment back at him. A...detailed one at that. Tristan blinked, heat rushing to his face, his mind racing to process.
His hair, messy yet somehow effortless? A tragic heartthrob from a romance novel?? Him???
It was all very nice and poetic and flattering, of course, but he couldn't reconcile such an image with how he saw himself.
"Oh, I- Um..." was all he managed to stammer out before she had looped her arm with his. Perhaps that was for the best, because he hadn't been certain how to respond anyway, outside of saying thanks. Which seemed like it would've been a boring way to reply, but he didn't have the guts to respond with his own confident "I know."
He also didn't know what to say in response to others flirting with her and breaking their hearts and all that, but at least he managed a, "Oh, right, of course."
Mercifully, though, as he walked with her (and tried not to think about how close they were with an arm intertwined), the subject again changed and turned to something Tristan felt he could answer. It briefly occurred to him that there might be a right or wrong answer to it. But maybe he was overthinking again. Either way, he couldn't do anything except answer honestly. "I enjoy both, but I think I'd prefer a hot cocoa right now. What about you?"

You've got that whole cozy, soft-spoken, winter romance protagonist thing going for you too. Very let me warm your hands with mine energy." She grinned, giving his arm a tiny squeeze for emphasis. "But little ol' moi?" Her free hand came up to flick a loose curl of his, the picture of playful confidence. "Nether. I'm a mulled cider kind of girl.

She let that linger for a second and surveyed their possible seating options. "Buuuuuut..." she added, voice dropping slightly, "I'm not opposed to stealing a sip of yours. You know, just for comparison." It was hard to not be a fan of chocolate but it was possible to have poor taste in which chocolates one indulged in. "After we find our seats, of course. So, where'll it be, Prince Charming?"

Tristan's face was so warm, he hardly noticed the warmth from the Three Broomsticks embracing him as they entered from the cold outside. The date had barely begun, and he already felt like he was in over his head already, floundering in the middle of the sea when a storm was brewing.
Er, not in a negative way though. It wasn't bad, it was simply...overwhelming for his overthinking mind.
Fortunately, he didn't have much time to dwell on the romance protagonist and holding hands comments, because he - unsurprisingly - didn't know how to respond to that. Cider was an excellent choice too, and it did seem...fitting, like she said.
He was, indeed, being kept on his toes.
Um. "I do like cider too." Even if it wasn't a drink he was immediately drawn too, it was still good and a nice change of pace. "The cocoa here is quite good though. I think you'll like it. And he didn't mind letting her have a sip, or more than a sip, of his if she wanted.
As for seating...Tristan scanned the room for an unoccupied table. "How about over there?" He pointed with his free hand toward a booth in the corner.

Then it was settled that Emi would be joining him and Vesp at the Three Broomsticks later, and that he would be having a second round of sweets. Ah, how Vi loved his new life, even if he missed Italy! How fortunate he was the day he had met the Thanatos-Misra family! And yes, he knew he could always rely on Vesper to help him with anything, Quidditch training included. Vi would definitely nudge her anytime that Di wasn’t up for being out on the pitch.
The first bite of brownie was heaven. Vi actually closed his eyes for a second as he indulged the rich flavour. {“I know,”} he said warmly, truly grateful for Vesper’s easy-to-talk-to personality. {“Everything’s great. It’s just that I think I’ve developed a crush on someone for the first time? But it doesn’t matter since they like someone else.”} That last bit hurt but Vi always pushed that hurt away when he felt it. {“It’s Di, by the way. Please don’t let him know I’ve told you this. There’s no way I ever want him to know how I feel.”} So if Vi had to suffer in silence, that was exactly what would be done.

That it was. It made Vesper very happy that Vi approved of Emi and didn't mind sharing his time with her, with Emi also. He was so welcome that they met that day! Truthfully speaking, meeting him in Italy several years ago had been the highlight of the entire trip. Who would've known she would gain a little brother that day?! Not her. So obviously this girl was going to spoil him any chance that she got. Even if that was just giving him extra sweets today.
Her mug of butterbeer was cradled in her hands as she watched him. "Good?" She hadn't gotten any brownies for herself today but she did get herself a slice of strawberry shortcake, which she was more than happy to dig right into. Hmm? Now what was that? Her baby brother had his first crush! How cute! But also.. oh no! The last thing Ves wanted was for him to experience a broken heart. {"Mm, and how do you know they are crushing on someone that isn't you? Have they told you so?"} Yes she was curious about all the info now. Diego?! Okay, she understood why he didn't want to say anything. {"You're secret will always be safe with me .. but are you sure you don't want to talk to him about it?"} Talking was helpful! Talking was how she met Emi and how the two of them remained together still.

Er, not in a negative way though. It wasn't bad, it was simply...overwhelming for his overthinking mind.
Fortunately, he didn't have much time to dwell on the romance protagonist and holding hands comments, because he - unsurprisingly - didn't know how to respond to that. Cider was an excellent choice too, and it did seem...fitting, like she said.
He was, indeed, being kept on his toes.
Um. "I do like cider too." Even if it wasn't a drink he was immediately drawn too, it was still good and a nice change of pace. "The cocoa here is quite good though. I think you'll like it. And he didn't mind letting her have a sip, or more than a sip, of his if she wanted.
As for seating...Tristan scanned the room for an unoccupied table. "How about over there?" He pointed with his free hand toward a booth in the corner.
Good thing this girl was an excellent captain - experienced in navigating stormy waters, completely unbothered by a little fabricated turbulence, and, most importantly, well-stocked with life preservers. So incredibly considerate of her, wouldn't you agree?
She was also a master at outwardly keeping her cool. But inside? Oh, she was delighting in every last bit of Tristan's adorable flustered energy. It was almost too easy, but there was something especially satisfying about teasing someone who clearly didn’t know just how attractive they were. Like a beautifully wrapped gift just waiting to be appreciated. Plus the way he was obviously overwhelmed from the intensity of her shine upon him.
"Mmm, good call," she hummed, letting her fingers briefly skim over the back of his hand before giving his arm a light squeeze. "A booth means I get to sit next to you instead of across from you. Cozy and strategic. You're really are so considerate and attract―oops, I mean attententive." With that, she let her arm stay linked with his as she led the way over to the booth and slide in first with a little persistent tug on his fingers to join her - immediately, like.
Diamond turned slightly, letting one knee bend up onto the seat so she could face him a little better, and folded her hands in her lap - he could lean in if he wanted, by the way - and offered him a little coy smile hidden behind a shoulder shrug. "So," she mused, tapping her chin as if she were deep in thought. "I'm getting a cider, you're getting cocoa," she noted with a cursory glance at the menu, "Oh, tragedy! No cider?" Diamond sighed, all dramatic lament and playful pout. "What a devastating oversight. I might never recover." Then, with a sly smile, she leaned in just a touch closer and playfully bopped his nose. "Guess that means I’ll have to settle for your drink of choice this time. And on our second date, you’ll just have to make sure we go somewhere that does have cider."
