 Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.
The wind blew across the area and she pulled her coat a little closer tucking the stray blonde curl behind her ear back into its rightful place. It wasn't uncomfortably cold yet and the sun supplied a little bit of warmth, at least that's what she kept telling herself as she wondered the streets. Still, it wasn't a bad day and after doing more window shopping than actual shopping she went to perch herself on the edge of the fountain before she retired to The Leaky Cauldron to grab a bite.
Before she sat down, Ariana pulled out three sickles and closed her eyes. It wasn't a wishing fountain but that didn't keep the young woman from tossing in each sickle one at a time making three separate wishes. As each coin made a nice resounding plop as it hit the water her heart almost burst with joy at the thought that one of them might come true if she wished hard enough. Maybe she was a little old to be making wishes but it was who she was. An adult with the heart of a child.
She kept her eyes closed letting her wishes run through her mind ignoring the people around her and getting lost inside the hopes of tomorrow.
