Always surprised, always looking this way and that to try to just absorb as much magical detail as possible. Her brain constantly felt like it was running a mile a minute just to process her surroundings. Never ending intrusive thoughts like…What was that? Who was that? Was the hearth magical itself or did the proprietor simply magic normal fire into it? What charm was used? Did you have to uncharm it to put it out or could it be put out normally? Wait, was that a word? Did one “uncharm” something?
Her thoughts spiraling into yet another rabbit hole, the short almost twelve year old (to her the distinction was important) made her way down the booths and tables and took a seat at a random empty one.
She pressed her lips together tightly as she evaluated the menu. The better to prevent her thoughts from evolving into the dreaded word vomit her old teachers always warned her she needed to reign in. So far this year she’d been marginally successful. Actually maybe too successful considering she’d been so quiet she’d yet to make any real friends. But at least no one thought she was “weird” and “talked too much” or whatever other things they said about her back in elementary. Then again…maybe being so quiet was weird in itself.
Upset with the direction her thoughts were headed, Auden shook her head a bit in an attempt to focus. She’d come here for a reason. She was hungry. Now concentrate…grilled cheese sandwich or macaroni and cheese…?

Diamond had not ventured over to this side of Hogsmeade just yet. Well, no...actually that was kind of a lie since she had been over this way already and her booted footprints in the snow outside that were zigging and zagging all over the place were evidence of that...but she hadn't actually stayed in this particular vicinity for more than a couple of seconds. So the Three Broomsticks, exterior and interior, had not yet received the Carat Patch treatment. Whistling a tune off of Joshua Miller's latest EP, the Gryffindor rummaged through her bag for a sticker and slapped it just above the doorknob into the restaurant before stepping inside herself. Naturally, she slapped another one on one of the wooden pillars she passed as she made her way over towards a table to drop her things off when she spotted a fellow first year and immediately altered her flight path to intercept.

Of course she recognized the girl seeing as Diamond had a very vested interest on keeping tabs on the first year Ravenclaw dorms, but the name was slipping her thoughts currently. She wasn't too fussed about this however. Mum had taught her plenty of tricks of the gab to help with the gift of the gab when you couldn't remember something crucial about a guest on air. Workarounds and the like. She was practically a professional.

"You can't really go wrong with dessert," she spoke with a little wiggle of the fingers towards the menu on the wall. Well, you could if it was stale and it wasn't like the Three Broomsticks was the wizarding world's finest dining experience, but it did okay. "Unless you aren't looking to appease your sweet tooth. A lot of the entrees are a little overpriced for their quality...but the tomato soup and macaroni and cheese are my recommendation for getting the more chew for your coin."
