Being super great with kiddos, the man had readily agreed. Before he headed to this grand event {it really wasn’t that grand but with Adi being an extrovert and always ready to mingle, the event was in his mind}, he made a last minute decision to stop at the Espresso Patronum to grab himself something nice.
The forty one year old was utterly unsurprised to see the place so crowded, and as he waited for his white chocolate mocha, Adi’s gaze was focused on the Patronuses. He thought of his own coyote Patronus which he hadn’t conjured in a while… until now. With a mutter of the incantation and a thought of his happiest memory, he watched with satisfaction as Glider {his coyote buddy} went off to join the others.
Having some time to spare now, the man decided he could chill for a bit. The trouble was that everywhere was full. Many persons had a group gathering, or otherwise at least one other {possibly couples on a date} but there was one person that Adi noticed fairly quickly in his scan of the place. Would the younger man mind being interrupted? With only one way to find out, he weaved his way through the crowd. “Hi!’’ Adi gave one of his signature beams. “Hope I’m not intruding on your personal space. Um, would you mind if I crash here for a bit?”
Minjae sighed softly as he picked up his drink and crossed out the seventh item on his list of graduation gifts. He took a sip, his dark brown eyes darting over to the wispy forms of the patronuses. He had successfully cast a corporeal patronus about a year before, an accomplishment of which he was quite proud.
He returned his gaze to his notebook. How come he had no trouble thinking of gifts for his friends but struggled to think of one for his own brother?! Daniel was difficult to please, though.
His hand was in midair as it reached for the drink again when a voice said hello. Minjae looked up, a puzzled expression on his face as he realized it was directed at him. As the man asked if he could sit at his table for a moment, his confused expression turned wary.
Before responding, the ex-Hufflepuff looked around for a free table, and when he realized they were all taken, he nodded.
"Uhm... of course," he said as he drew his notebook closer
"You can put my bag on the ground" He gestured at the chair opposite himself on which he had placed his bag.
