Which was why he headed first to the Three Broomsticks for a warm butterbeer and a serving of shepherd's pie. Ordering both and receiving them, he took a glance around the room to find an open spot to sit. He passed over a couple of familiar faces, but didn't want to bother anyone and was going to head to just an open single spot by the fire - when he caught site of Daniel Yoon and paused. He looked... different. Exhausted, really.
Evan weighed the options for a moment, trying to decide if he should bother his sister's year mate or move along, before deciding that at least checking in couldn't do any harm. Moving that direction, the Ravenclaw slid into the seat opposite the Hufflepuff. "Good afternoon. It's nice to see you out and about."
His gaze had been fixed on the table opposite where he sat. But although he was looking at the few students who were chatting away, he didn’t exactly notice them. He ate from the strawberry shortcake and wondered if he should head back to school to continue learning for his Ancient Runes exam when he caught the movement of someone taking a seat opposite of him.
Tired eyes focused slowly on the person to see that it was Lisa’s brother. He looked behind him, expecting to see her with him but then figured that she, of course, had her own set of friends she’d rather go with. He liked his own brother, even if he pretended that he didn’t, but he’d rather not spend time with him in Hogsmeade.
Daniel placed his fork on the table and took hold of the butterbeer. He took a large sip this time while Evan spoke and as he placed down the glass he wiped the ‘white mustache’ off his face and he shrugged his shoulders once
” I needed to get some fresh air” fresh air that was not the grounds around Hogwarts castle.
” Have you ordered anything yet? The line is quite long” he said before he noticed the butterbeer and shepherd's pie on the table.
” Oh…” he didn't understand how he had missed it. He was usually observant of his surroundings. He ran a hand through his hair, feeling a bit embarrassed, and continued to eat.
