Was it one of those mornings? She chuckled. "More like it's going to be one of THOSE afternoons," she explained. "Trying to catch up on work now that the store isn't being bombarded with children every day," she added with a grin. "What about you?" she asked, gesturing to the coffee he had in his own hand.

The woman agreed to Bowie’s request and so he sat in the seat opposite her after carefully placing his coffee down onto the table. “Thank you” he replied graciously, tucking his chair under so as to not take up too much space in the busy coffee shop.

It had seemed that his table companion had completely misconstrued what he meant when he said ‘one of those morning’ to mean exclusively her but she didn’t seem to be too offended by the apparent accusation and so the twenty-eight year old chuckled softly. “I meant in general. I’ve never seen this place so full.” Not during term time anyway but then again he didn’t frequent it that often. Bowie liked to vary his afternoon coffee breaks, it was about as much excitement as he could get out of the hour he allowed himself.

Now Bowie wasn’t a Ravenclaw but by process of deductive reasoning he established that this woman must work in one of the many stores of Diagon Alley if she was talking about the kids going back. “I daren’t even go here in the summer holidays. Too clumsy, would probably accidentally bowl over a small child.” He laughed. Sometimes his long blonde hair blew in front of his face and caused a hazard, sometimes he was just overly-excited about what he was doing and sometimes he was just extremely distracted. He’d been compared to a Golden Retriever on several occasions and it was likely accurate. “Just on my caffeine break from work.” He raised his coffee cup in a little ‘cheers’.

“I’m Bowie.”
