"Shortcut?" she suggested with a daring smirk before trying to navigate them through the crowd. They took that deserted alley off of High Street, trying to avoid as much crowd traffic as they could, and then continued down the alley way for a little while. The music from the main hub started to become quieter and quieter with every couple of steps they took.

Messy, dirty.... and.... And was that a RAT?

No... No... Most likely not, right? Not in Hogsmeade... Perhaps that was just her eyes playing a trick on her like what they had experienced at the Slug Pit. "Ace... .I think we're lost...?" said Vi as she abruptly stopped in the middle of a.... not extremely pleasant part of Hogsmeade. It didn't match the rest of the little village and was lacking the festival lights, the cute shop fronts, and the crowds of students and professors and people. It kind of made the Gryffindor lass feel a little uneasy.
If theres one thing about Hogsmeade that can be predicted without fail is that a Hogwarts endorsed weekend let-out would result in the kind of crowds that is a merchants' dream and a traffic engineer's nightmare. So when his beloved lady suggested that they try a shortcut he was only too eager to follow.

Back alleys. Of course. But really it was dingy and although he knew that Vi wasnt some wallflower shying away from the unpleasant, this was hardly the place he would want her to be exposed to. Because it was gross and ghastly and....

....gone. Uh oh. They were at it again huh? He turned around where they stood, looking back where they came from and peering around the corner where they were headed, only to be greeted with an identical passageway like the one they just walked past. "Welp.... what else is new right?" he chuckled despite their situation. He held out for her hand saying "We've already come this far, lets keep going.... who knows maybe the clearing is around the next corner?" and he started to murmur a bitty old song to make their walk a little less creepy 'The road goes ever on and on, down from the road where it began....'
