SPOILER!!: DH Vixen
Glancing down at the glass, Mina made a face. The place was NEVER going to get a five-cauldron rating that was for sure. It wasn't anything like The Three Broomsticks or Puddifoot's. Those places were always packed and sometimes, you just wanted somewhere less crowded and where you could hear yourself think. "I'm overjoyed it's not swarming with everyone and their friends. You can actually hear yourself without talking loudly." Yeah, the place wasn't the happiest place to grab a drink; but it was quiet. "I'm starting to think that I'll just keep coming here instead of Broomsticks." Seriously, there was less of a chance for her to see people here and she appreciated that at the moment.
Mina sighed. When she boarded the train months ago, she had a plan for where her head would be and it wasn't even close to being there. It completely aggravated her that she hadn't been able to focus on what she wanted to. She never thought she would be anything like this in her last year. Maybe she had always been fooling herself about just how her last year would go. "You know, I always imagined our seventh year to be different." She never imagined making the friends she had made or doing the things that she had done. It was a surprise to her that in nearly seven years, so much had happened and how changed everything was now.
Shrugging a shoulder, Mina frowned. She knew that she needed to talk about it and Mia didn't strike her as the type that would go off and tell what she was about to say. They weren't close friends by any means, but they were civil and Mina thought her to be a friend still.
"It's all kind of coming to an end. In a few months, things won't matter to us like they do now. I mean we're all going to be going our own way and things will probably change forever." Mina wasn't foolish, she knew that she would probably never see some of her friends after they left Hogwarts. Their lives were all going in different directions now.
Hearing Mia laugh, Mina creaked a smile. "You know angsty doesn't even start to describe most of us." Angst was one thing that was not lacking in their year for sure. "You know the real reason, I came in here?" It was safe for her to talk about it. What happened wasn't going to define her forever. "Back a few years ago, the last time I was in here. I met a man. A misunderstood man. He wasn't completely evil but he cursed me. I'm here today to face that demon once and for all." Remi was locked away but the pub represented what happened to her and she wanted to rid the pub of blame in her mind before she left Hogwarts once and for all.
Just as Mina finished talking, she noticed the entrance of someone and her eyes narrowed slightly. So much for this being a place she could get away.
She really didn't want to deal with Carter's girlfriend. She had given them the space and seriously, she hadn't ever intended on talking to them again.
Looking to Mia, she shook her head. "You know that something a bit stronger than a butterbeer would be great right now."
Marilyn made her way over to their table, not wasting any time. Perhaps if she was about to talk with Mina, she could fix this mess between the Ravenclaw and her love interest. She couldn't call him her boyfriend...
Not yet, anyway...
The blonde didn't want problems...She just needed to clear the air. Some things were being said that weren't at all true...and the Slytherin was sick and tired of it. If people were going to say things, she wanted them to, at least, be TRUE.
"Hello, ladies. Do you mind if I join you?"
