Food just magically attracted William. Or, not so magically even.
Her eyes lingered on him a moment longer until January spoke again. Hmm? Alysson thought about this for a moment. "Well, we met around four years ago." Was it five? Three? "But we sort of...lost touch for a while." They were both back now though. Obviously. And staying too. So who knew. "What about you?" If she said something like 'oh, we only met a week ago', Alysson was going to be seriously worried.
Well not worried of course. Wary? January glanced around the food table, but nothing really caught her eye. She wasn't hungry anyway, so she turned her attention back to Alysson. Four years? Her eyebrows rasied briefly. Much longer than she had known him herself. Lost touch..." she repeated quietly. She knew what that was like.
"Seems like you two are back together now, though," she noted with a small smile, glancing back at William who was now talking to a younger man. January looked back at Alysson and realized she has just said 'back together'. "As friends, I mean," she clarified. "Well... unless it's... more." January gave Alysson a curious look. She honestly didn't know. They hadn't talked about relationships when they went out for coffee, so... who knew?
As for her, "Oh, not very long at all. A few weeks at most. Two or three?" The days ran together, it was hard to keep track. "We actually went to Hogwarts at the same time, but we never talked until we bumped into each other just recently." Quite literally bumped. She smiled fondly at the amusing memory.

He had eventually come back to it after a few years and had gone into the Department of Mysteries.
Another grin and a shake of his head. "I can't tell you. We had to sign this agreement and the parchment had been charmed so that he could never speak of what went on in there." He had been there for quite a few years but you would never know since he wasn't allowed to talk about it.
Oliver gestured at the table. "Can I get you a drink or something to eat?" So, spirits. January raised an eyebrow at the mention of an old gypsy woman in his house growing up. "Really? And what was she doing there?" Wreaking havoc, or just looking for a place to float comfortably? January had seen most sides of spirits, good and bad, in her many years of work. She let off a small laugh. "Runes and spirits I can handle, but I've always been rubbish at Divination. Suppose I wasn't blessed with the sight." And no... she wasn't making fun of it. Shh.
Aww, darn. So many secrets. January looked visibly disappointed. "Not even a little hint?" She couldn't help her curiosity. And it would have driven her absolutely mad if she couldn't talk about her work to anyone, but maybe that was just her.
Oh, how nice, he was offering to get her something. "Oh, thank you. I'll just have water." January gave him a smile and clasped her hands in front of her as she waited. What a gentleman. |
