Not too far from the service desk, there are several comfortable seats set up for customer use. Whether you are waiting to be helped, or you simply want a spot to sit down and flip through a brochure or two, this is the perfect place for you. There are several little tables for you to spread all the brochures over and get a good view of things.
OOC: feel free to chat here, and RP for fun. The shopkeeper will kick anyone out who is too rowdy or simply loitering though, and if you are waiting for assistance, please post in the Service Desk thread. The brochure display is just over there or you can go back to the North end of the street if you are done browsing.

What Ryoma really wanted to do was march into the shop and yell at the top of his lungs that he wanted to be saved from the boredom and dull existence that had been emposed upon him in Diagon Alley recently. But...that was have been too awkward and too much effort. Intead, Ryoma picked up a random brochure about tours in South America and began flipping through the pictures for something, anything to keep his mind off the serious lack of social contact. Sion had most likely been busy with her Ministry duties. Kat...well...she was off with some other dude that had won her over with a cheap necklace. He hadn't seen the lad nor his prodigy in an eternity. Nope, it had just been him and marshmallow the past week and he was at the point that he didn't know who had a head of fluffier fur.
"I think I am losing my mind..." he said aloud as he looked at a picture of some waterfall - clearly, something this size was wizard made.

'Travel' might have been her middle name. Sion shrugged to herself, a smooth, 'I-should-have-seen-this-coming' type of shrug, as she stepped into TerrorTours. She had plans, but she did not feel like rushing into them. Gait leisurely, almost lazy, hands tucked in the pocket of her black jeans, she headed for the seating area and... spotted a certain Dragon.
"Yes, that can happen to people who haven't met me for a while," she said, sneaking up behind him, eyes sparkling mischievously. "I am that amazing, after all."

That...voice...Ryoma's head snapped upwards so quickly that he heard a loud crack. Nothing broken and certainly nothing wrong with what he saw. Sion did have a point, he was going crazy because of a lack of contact. Sure it wasn't that he needed it to be her contact - that was an added bonus for sure though - but at least she didn't have a beard and, from what he could smell, had showered recently and was not drunk.
"Angel!" he said in a giddy voice like that of a little boy meeting Mickey Mouse for the first time. Not even really thinking about how uncool it may have been, he jumped out of his seat and threw his arms around her and hugged her like she was a teddy bear. Yeah, this probably could get him slapped, but he was soooooooooo happy to not being around creepy drunk old ungly witches and wizards.

Goodness, Merlin, Hades and Thor, what in the name of cheese?
Had Ryoma had too much to eat, this morning? Or had someone hit him on the head [haaard] before he had left his home, this morning? Sion actually attempted to take a step back as he launched his arm round her, so surprised she was by the suddenness of his action, but could not do so in time.
Her eyes filled up with laughter and, grinning, she took her hands out of her pockets and returned the hug. "Hello, Dragon," she said, pleasantly. "Alright there?"

Her eyes filled up with laughter and, grinning, she took her hands out of her pockets and returned the hug. "Hello, Dragon," she said, pleasantly. "Alright there?"
Personally, she doubted it.
Phew, she was laughing. He had made an utter fool of himself, but at least she was laughing. "Sion," he said returning to his usual cool, calm, and collected self. "I am reading a brochure advertising the joys of visiting lemur colonies all over South America. Does it look like I am alright?"
Ryoma sighed a little loudly and set the lemur brochure down in its proper place - on the shelf and gestured for Sion to sit down.

"Ryoma," she mimicked him and his sleek tones, resisting the urge to stick her tongue out at him. Her eyes were still full of laughter, this time because the transition back to his usual personality had been so sudden, it tickled her. Or maybe she was just in a good mood.
"No, it doesn't." She did stick her tongue out at him, then, before elegantly sitting down, one leg crossed over the other, and looking intently at him. "You like lemurs?" She couldn't get the laughter out of her eyes, or that tinkling, merry touch out of her tones.

Lemurs? Ryoma had never really thought about them. To tell the truth, he didn't even know what one was until he had seen a picture just now. "Not as much as I like fluffy little adorable kitties," he said in a baby voice in reference to his super adorable Marshmallow who was fast asleep back in their room at the Leaky Cauldron.
There was something about the way that she stuck her tongue out at him in a sing-song voice that made him want to do it right back. But...that would make him look even more ridiculous than he already felt. Best to hold off on all tongue sticking out for the moment. Perhaps at a later date...
"Are you interested in a romantic get away with a colony of lemurs?" he teased. Yes, this was the right moment to stick his tongue out back, and he did so in a very manly fashion...ish.

Speaking of cats... "How's Marshmallow?" Sion looked up at him as she said this, eyes full of interest. She'd bored that kitty that other day, she knew, but that didn't mean she didn't like him.
...
Him as in Marshmallow, not Ryoma.
Romantic getaway? "I'd prefer it if the place had a gorgeous waterfall and trees instead of lemurs," she said brightly. "But right now, anything might do. Being an Unspeakable is hard work, Dragon." Come to think of it, she'd never told him about her job before. Then again, she was so used to not speaking of it, that not telling people even the title came naturally.
You know... he looked cute, right now. Childish, but cute. Sion grinned, without bothering to explain why she was grinning.

Ryoma was about to comment that he didn't want any marshmallows unless they were in hot chocolate - preferably the type of hot chocolate made from melting chocolate frogs in warm milk - when he realized that Sion was not talking about the confection. "He is hanging in there," Ryoma chuckled. "I think he has been sneaking catnip when I am not looking though." The cat had been going nuts lately, but Ryoma equated that to the fluffball also suffering from a bit of cabin fever.
Ryoma's ears perked up at what Sion said next. "What do you mean Unspeakable?" he asked with a twinkle in his eyes. Finally, something that was more exciting than looking and pictures of lemurs. "Wait, don't tell me...you'de tell me, but then you would have to kill me?" Smirking a bit, and feeling pretty darn good about himself due to her grinning, Ryoma threw the pamphlet down on the table. "I'd say I'm all ears, but that would be a lie," he winked. Oh, that was pretty witty. He was more muscle than ears anyway.

Catnip? That could have a strange effect on cats. Sion checked a smile as she imagined Marshmallow sneaking catnip. "Or maybe he just doesn't like you," she grinned teasingly.
"I mean exactly that," she said, eyes twinkling brightly. She did like her job, she did. But secrets are funny things. Fortunately for her, her life had never revolved around one job, and did not revolve around this one either, and that ensured she did not, say, go right out of her mind.
"Unspeakable. Department of Mysteries." She gave a 'that-says-it-all' type of shrug. "We're not supposed to discuss our jobs." They could, though [and some people did] and that was the scary part. Even a single slip of the tongue could cause a lot of harm. "Sounds exciting... and gets tiring."
Ryanne stepped into the shop in a few short months she would be married to the most wonderful man she had ever met. She had decided to start looking at locations for possible honeymoons but Nero was really busy so she had decide to take this journey on her own. She took her seat in the wating area and flipped thru some brochures the shine of her ring caught her eye and she stopped turned her hand over to gaze at the ring.

Grin.
"What are you talking about?! Marshmallow loves me!" he said getting a bit on the defensive. Sure, the cat was not too keep on having a tray strapped to his back like a turtle and delivering drinks and food to customers, but Ryoma always made sure that he had a nice big bowl of luke warm milk ready at the end of the day for him to drink. It was impossible that his darling cotton ball would dislike him. Inconceivable! Clearly, Ryoma couldn't take a joke when his baby was involved.
When Ryoma had calmed down a bit, he spoke again. "Department of Mysteries...I probably would be rubbish there. I can't keep a secret to save my life." Well, that wasn't totally true, but when it was really juicy he just had to tell someone. "I tell Marshmallow everything," he admitted grinning from ear to ear.

"Of course he does," Sion said, in a teasing tone that implied that no, the cat did not. Not that she thought that in actual. But teasing Ryoma and getting a reaction out of him? Fun. Still, she did realize that Ryoma might have become reaaally attached to his cat and laughed a second later, letting him know that she had not been serious.
"I headed the place for a couple of months." She gave a fair-shouldered little shrug, dark eyes thoughtful, before grinning as he spoke. "You tell Marshmallow? You're silly, Ryoma." He could sound so adorable, sometimes. [Sometimes, of course, being the keyword here, Sion thought laughingly.]
Standing on tiptoe, she kissed him on the cheek, the action reminding her of her brief stay in France, and how the custom of people kissing each other on both cheeks in greeting used to make her laugh.

Oh, right. She had been teasing him about his kitty. Ryoma raised one of his well kept eyebrows at her in amusement. She really was fun to be around - and not just because she was easy on the eyes. Now that the kitty business had been settled and his naive misunderstanding cleared up, Ryoma relaxed a bit and put the flyer down about lemurs.
She, wait, what?! She was the head of the department?! Was she like, one of those sparkly vampires he had read about in a rather sappy muggle book? She looked far too young and not like a grumpy old man to be a department head - well, at least his old department head had been an old balding grumpy old man that more mumbled than spoke. He was about to comment about her being far too witty and charming to be a department head when she did something that took him off guard.
His eyes grew big like a little boy who had just seen Mickey Mouse for the first time. If he didn't keep his wits about him, he would have put his hand to his cheek where the gentle touch of her lips still remained, but he needed to keep up his Dragon poise...for now. "I don't know what that was for, but I liked it," he smiled with his chocolate eyes. There was no chance of a stray poster hitting him in the face this time, was there?

Sion had a feeling she had surprised him. The thought amused her, because she hadn't considered her action might have... consequences. She laughed, a silvery, tinkling, warm kind of laugh.
"I've heard that before." Her dark eyes had lit up again, twinkling in a mischievous but friendly fashion. "You're adorable, do you know that?"
She had met a number of unique people in her life, but she hadn't met many men that loved cats this much, and that alone set him apart. It felt nice, nice in a rather refreshing manner.

Her laugh was intoxicating and as pure as a bell. Ryoma smirked and began wishing they were in a more romantic setting than...an area with pamphlets about lemur colonies.
For the first time in a long while, Ryoma felt butterflies in his stomach. Butterflies and tiny little gnomes that were punching his insides. It was a rather unusually combination to be sure. It was quite like the first time he had asked a girl out back when he was in primary school.
There was that word again: adorable. Did that mean that she thought of him like an adorable little brother *sulk* or perhaps an adorable, erm, not little brother figure. Perhaps there was only one way to find out...
"You're pretty darn adorable yourself," he winked before leaning in to give her a quick kiss on the cheek too. Just, you know, returning the favor.
*eyebrow wiggle*

Pretty darn adorable? Understatement of the decade. So, at least, Sion had been about to say teasingly. Unfortunately [or fortunately] Ryoma had leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, before she could.
She looked up at him, a little smile playing around her lips, and then the smile disappeared completely, replaced by a tiny frown. Things hadn't felt this right in ages, and that scared her. Perhaps she shouldn't... and then she lifted a small hand, placed it on his forearm, placed her other hand on his cheek, and kissed him. On the lips.
Then she pulled away, as softly as she had leaned in.

"I know," she smiled.
Just like that. Like nothing had happened.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat had just happened? Ryoma felt, well, light as a feather and like he could go twirling around like a ballerina in the middle of the shop...if it weren't for the fact that he would be making a fool of himself and lose whatever remaining dignity he had. No, instead he did what was probably even more lame: he stood very still blinking several times like a confused kitten. Perhaps just like Marshmallow did when he smacked into a clear barrier to try and catch a bird on the other side of said barrier. Poor thing, didn't realize it was a mirror.
Ryoma wasn't sure how long he had been standing there looking both directing into Sion's eyes and yet nowhere at all, but when he finally felt his feet come back to the ground a smile tickled his lips and he put an arm around her shoulder. "Now that, I liked even better," he chuckled.

Had she surprised him again? Because she had just surprised herself. Sion stood there for a moment, and then she smiled softly.
"I'm glad." She sounded neutral, but that might have been because she had realized how much she'd have to think about, tonight. So much for a vacation. She paused for a moment, and then said,
"I don't think I feel like looking at more brochures. Do you?"

Was she as much in a daze as he was? Well, he was pretty darn attractive, had nice hair, and had been told he was a good kisser. But, she had taken him off guard, so he maybe not have been as irresistible as he could be. He was going to have a nice long conversation with Marshmallow when he returned to the Leaky Cauldron tonight!
He was about to say something goofy like 'I'm glad you're glad,' but he was able to prevent himself from doing that and potentially ruining a perfect moment. If only the lemurs on the brochures weren't staring at him...
"I think I have had enough of lemurs...um...brochures for a while," he winked gesturing towards the door. "Perhaps I should treat you to that ice cream I promised you?"

Lemurs? Oh. Sion had forgotten, like she had forgotten that this had to be a bad omen. She hadn't felt so right in such a long time, and that must mean trouble. That had to mean trouble.
But she had forgotten.
"I think so." She smiled, a small but beautiful smile. "I'd like a giant cone of chocolate that I'd never be able to finish, please."

Sion seemed, a little dazed. It must have been his charm and wit that had done it. He did tend to have that effect on women at times. Feeling rather proud of himself, Ryoma puffed out his chest just a bit, but nothing too noticeable. "One giant cone of chocolate ice cream it is," he smiled as he began escorting her to the door. "I suppose I can always help you eat it." Not as romantic as those two dogs from that muggle movie who were eating spaghetti, but sharing an ice cream was pretty good too.

Leo sat down and contemplated the brochures he'd picked up. What would be an acceptable vacation for an eleven year old girl? Granted she was more daring thn most eleven year olds he knew, but still, she was a child. So that ruled out dragons. Leo considered going spulunking in all of the coastal caves, but ruled that one out just as quickly. The damp air was supposed to be bad for your lungs. Geez, he sounded like an over-worried mother. Spulunking could be an option, but he wasn't counting on it. Leo flipped through another brochure. A cruise? Not only did that sound like fun for his sister, but you also met fun and interesting people on cruises. Nah, she'd been there and done that. This was the problem with rich spoiled kids. Their older brother wanted to suprise them with something fun, and it was all either not good for thier age group, or they'd already done it. He sighed in frustration. This was proving more difficult than he'd bet on it being.
