The bustle and bustle in the Leaky Cauldron was quite hectic when Roiben slipped in the door,along with Lies on his heels and a young girl behind him.He searched a moment to find a round table with two chairs near the middle of the crowded pub.

He headed towards the table and pulled out the chair for the girl and waited till she was seated before he dropped himself in his.Lies curled up in a ball at his feet under the table.

"Roiben,I never knew that The Leaky Cauldron would be so busy." Eternal piped,her soft voice wavering when she saw everyone enjoying themselves.She had never been in a wizarding environment.But she needed the experience since she was going to attend the school next term.

Roiben laughed slightly,of course she would be a bit frightened.She was only twelve."Yeah,just wait until you get to school and get sorted,dear."He had to admit that he was like an older brother to his young cousin.She is just so fragile and innocent.Eternal smiled to her older cousin.

Roiben didn't know he had his foot out that far from the table,but he found out soon enough when a young her came crashing down after tripping over it.

"Are you alright?I'm sorry,I didn't know my foot was out so far." He pulled his chair out and bent down to help her up.He grabbed her elbow softly to give her some balance.

Eternal looked at what was going on and she saw the items she had were on the floor."Let me help with your things."She bent down,much so like her cousin,adn started to pick up her purchases.

Francesca was caught by the boy and what seemed to be his relative. The girl was embarassed that she had fallen in a public place. It wasn't normally like her to behave in such a way. Her eyes widened as she took a seat in the chair at the table and sighed. She picked up the stuff she bought for her cousin and set them up on the table. She straightened her hair up a bit and smiled meekly at the pair.

"I'm so sorry. This place has some of the worst lighting ever. My name's Francesca by the way. Before you ask me, I don't go to Hogwarts. My cousin does."

She brushed some dust off of her jeans and shirt. The floor of this place had lots of it apparently. The people needed to clean better.

Roiben nodded weakly,about the dust on the floor because he seemed to have gotten a whiff of it in his face when he had helped her up.He grabbed an un-occupied chair from the table next to theirs and sat down to the right of Eternal,the Left of their new arrival.

"It's nice to meet you Francesca.My name is Roiben and.." Before he could go on,the young girl sitting across from Francesca ahot up,her chair falling from under her,making a small 'Thud'."And my name is Eternal!" She said with great enthusiasm and a big smile.Her silver bouncy curls bouncing.

"It's great to meet you Francesca." She also added,before grabbing her chair and smiling meekly.She sat back down and got a fierce gaze shot at her from her cousin.

Roiben rolled his eyes when Eternal stuck her tounge out at him in response."You seem to be alright,am I correct?"

Francesca giggled at the interactions between Roiben and Eternal. The two seemed like two peas in a pod. Nothing at all like her and Astoria. When those two were forced to be in public together, it was like the rival mafias sitting in prison together. Constant arguments and tempers tested almost one hundred percent of the time. She got a piece of dust off her shoes and smiled.

"Nice to meet you two. You both have very interesting names. Care to tell where you're from?"

Eternal smiled at her new companion.She must be going to Hogwarts next year Like me,she thought to herself.She closed her eyes and squealed in a hushed tone.She opened her silver eyes and tried to remember what francesca had just asked her.

"Well I'm from Brittany,which is part of France.And Roiben here is from,um,where again?I forgot."She tried to think again of where he was born.

Roiben looked over at Francesca,trying to block hiscousin out who was mummbling random countries in Europe."I'm from Northern Ireland."He said courtly.Eternal nodded,remembering now once he said it."Where are you from Francesca?Do you have any relatives at Hogwarts?"

Francesca smiled as she observed Eternal's behavior. Please tell me she is around my age. I will be one very happy child if she is. I'll have some good friends when I come to Hogwarts then. That pleases me.

She took a sip of her drink that didn't spill surprisingly and listened to where the two were from. France and Ireland eh? That sounded very intriguing to Francesca seeing as this was her first time in Europe by herself and she was having a blast.

"I'm from New York City which is in the United States. I want to come here now though. I have a cousin at Hogwarts named Astoria who's a sixth year now I think."

New York City? Eternal had the most confused looking face.Though,Roiben wasn't surprised,she wasn't that good with Geography.He sighed softly,hoping she wouldn't ask..

"What's New York city?" There.She just had to say it.His hand hit his forehead and he didn't even have to think of doing it,for his hand thought first."Please,don't mind her.She's sort of clueless when it comes to States in your country." He mummbled.

She looked at him with a 'I didn't do anything' look."Roiben,I was simply asking a question.What will happen when I come here next term by myself.I can ask as many questions I want.And about anything." Roiben tensed and thought about what would she be doing.
