| | |  Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop
 Madam Puddifoot's is laid out in a typical English tea room fashion. Lace doilies cover each table on top of the flower patterned table cloths. In the middle of each is a contained candle, ready to be lit for those on a romantic retreat. The windows are half covered by fancy net curtains, leaving just enough room at the top to see over and down Hogsmeade's High Street. Little flower and heart covered cushions are on each seat awaiting your arrival.
The shopkeeper, a descendant of the original owner, keeps the shop this way because she has to. She has no desire to look upon all the fancy decorations herself, which is why you'll most likely find her in the back room. She'll come and serve you when you ring the bell on the counter, but make sure you know what you want to order as she doesn't have all day. Keep your snogging to a minimum unless you want to be kicked out.

He gave up trying when she was so busy all the time with that bloke "studying". And said bloke did poorly on hiding their crush. Justus looked slightly sheepish at Emma, who saw the whole thing. Given how she looked through the window and then back at him, he imagined the words she would've said to him.
Okay.. go ahead. Justus thought. She could probably get up and leave him in his mute status, call him names. And she did.... but not at him. He blinked, almost missing out the counterspell she uttered. His tongue fell back to its proper state, leaving him to cover his mouth before coughing.
"Excuse me... Thanks." It was very much appreciated. "I apologize for getting you into this." He said. "Erm... what was I saying.." Then he remembered. "Oh.. yeah. I like you Emma... and I was hoping this could be treated like a date between you and me." One thing with Justus, he didn't say much often but when he did he didn't mince his thoughts. "But I understand if you had second thoughts or any questions after what you just witnessed." So here he was, an open book ready to be asked.
Dinner and a show. Who knew that was what she was getting when she agreed to meet up with Justus? Only she hadn't expected to be in the actual show, even if she wasn't the leading lady. Truth be told she was oblivious to many things, mostly involving relationships because she adored so many people but there was these butterflies involved whenever Justus looked at her.
She waited a moment to see if her counterspell would work, sure enough it did when she heard him speaking again. "Did you ..." She chewed her lip thoughtfully trying to consider the millions of questions running threw her mind. So this was a date then? Her presumptions had been correct even if she wasn't officially sure until now. "I like you too. But I just ... did you, when... that girl... was your ex? How long ago did you break up?" Maybe start there. Wait, they did break up officially right? Or was he into the whole polygamy thing? Perhaps it was prudent to know what sort of relationship he was looking for

Well ok before it was just fun and didn't know if Diamond was serious BUT NOW she was bluntly admitting to it and uh….ok well guess Theia cant be so innocently flirting back now could she??
Right???
DIAMOND!
Oh no, she was very close now. Arm around her now….It did feel nice. Her brain was malfunctioning from Diamond’s breathe but it was nice.
“Um…this and um…also want to lean against you and want do find out what kind of lip balm you are using today”
Not for science or anything but like a proper one. Just the poor blonde was not one to be blunt.
Oh? Oh. OH!
Diamond had been many things in her life - namely dramatic, relentless, a menace to the art of subtlety - but speechless was rarely one of them. Yet here she was, caught off guard for all of a second before a slow, greedy grin spread across her face.
Amatheia was absolutely adorable and the best part about it was that she didn't even understand her own whims. Absolutely adorable.
The Gryffindor let the moment hang between them for just a breath longer, long enough to watch the color creep into her bestie's face, before Diamond decided to do something about it.
"Oh, Sunbeam," she practically purred, tilting her head ever so slightly. What? Diamond was perfectly entitled to hand out sappy pet names whenever she liked - and Theia did shine so it was based on factual evidence as well. Real hard journalistic coverage in a private setting, duh. "All you had to do was ask."
And then, with absolutely no hesitation, she closed the distance, pressing her lips to Theia’s in a kiss that was equal parts soft, deliberate, smug.
For the record? Strawberry Champagne. Bubbly, flirty, and luxurious.

Justus chanced his look in her direction, watching her expressions for a clue on what was the best thing for him to do. Stay and take the punishment? Excuse himself and get up like a coward. Or save her the trouble and walk away letting her find someone better, with him being the lone wolf that he wondered was Merlin's fate for him. Instead, she took him by surprise with giving him a chance. This was definitely the moment on what could happen next. He fought the urge to smile when she said she liked him, but she deserved the truth.
"Officially? I think that just about sealed our relationship." Justus said, his eyes glancing sideways out of his inner feelings. "As for when we stopped feeling like a couple? Ever since the school term started..." He paused for a few milliseconds out of reflecting, his hands moving to clutch the tea cup presented to them. "I've never been into sharing a girl, from how often Kritti and that Dio had been studying together alone. Our last date together in the forest last month, he followed us and started screaming at me about the safety when he found us." Though, Justus wasn't going to admit their date risked detention and their own lives. Especially when they were found hanging upside down. "From that point, I've just been focusing on myself and letting her do her thing. And she's just continued hanging out with him. This was the first time I think we looked in each other's direction in weeks." He shook his head at how he may have sounded as he glanced back at their tea. He considered taking a sip, but didn't want to drag out what he really wanted to say to Emma.
"To be frank, as you know, I'm not that big on sharing my feelings, at least not with someone who doesn't look like they'd give the time of day. Why waste their time? But I don't feel like that with you..." Looking up again into her eyes. "I just hope you don't consider me a waste of space, it would suck if I didn't get to ask you to be my only girlfriend." And there it was, his question left in the void of silence... if one were to ignore the sound of two girls comparing each other's lipgloss in the corner.

An absolute menace for drama’s sake. But it was one of Diamond’s good qualities.The bad side of it is when the quill comes out in mid convo because something cant be missed. There was a grin and then nothing…umm did Theia say something wrong or embarrassing??? This was when the color creeped into her face faster than she would want like ever.
“Sun….Sunbeam???” Of all the things to say and call her. “Are you feeling ok??” Sunbeam. 10/10 on it being Sappy. Made Theia chuckle a bit too much. Don't think Theia can compete with it..’ My favorite menace’ kinda worked it was sappy but wasn't on the same level.
Excuse her while she beams from the kiss.
Worst part is the kiss was great. Had to be strawberry. Just had to be. Now Diamond will be even more smug. Hard to even remember that this point there were other people here. Not going to bring it up and see that stupid smug smile since Theia might want to kiss her again
“I'm still not over Sunbeam you know”

And there it was, his question left in the void of silence... if one were to ignore the sound of two girls comparing each other's lipgloss in the corner.
Emma had a million thoughts running through her head but she was also terribly naive when it came to all things relationships. Sometimes she wished she'd been born with more of that Slytherin spirit of her father and brother. Or even a Ravenclaw like her mum. Instead she was Hufflepuff, which also meant she was willing to hear people out, empathize. Even if it didn't lead anywhere romantically she was the friend to always be there - probably even after she overstayed her welcome.
She nodded when he said basically their relationship had been on the brink of ending since start of term. But then there was something else and she wondered what she was getting herself into. He mentioned a date in the forest, which she could only assume to be the forbidden forest. Was there another forest at Hogwarts? She took a sip of tea, following his lead, trying to piece things all together.
"Just to be clear -- I don't think im the type of girl to go on dates in the forest." Actually she was nearly certain she wasn't. But she'd never been on a proper date before, so who knew? "And well I'm also not much of a studier. Although with OWLs fast approaching I probably should get on that. Last thing I would need is my seeker position jeopardized because i failed to pass enough exams." Who knew when she'd become so quidditch focused? Just two years ago she'd never have imagined it although the thought had crossed her mind before. That was about one of the few traits she shared with her father.

Worst part is the kiss was great. Had to be strawberry. Just had to be. Now Diamond will be even more smug. Hard to even remember that this point there were other people here. Not going to bring it up and see that stupid smug smile since Theia might want to kiss her again
“I'm still not over Sunbeam you know”
The way Theia's face heated up, the way she fumbled over the word like it was too much for her to hold - it was aaaaaaaaaabsolutely adorable. But also like...talk about some secondhand embarrassment for a Ravenclaw now getting the perfect brilliance that was the nickname. Theia was warmth and brightness, the kind of person who could light up a room without even trying. A little dazzling, a little blinding when you weren’t expecting it, but never in a way that burned. No, she was the kind of light you leaned into, the kind that made you want to bask in it just a little longer. She had a way of softening the edges of things, making the world feel lighter JUST by existing in it. Diamond was a journalist, after all. So like, DUH, words were her craft, her weapon of choice, and she never used them lightly - though sometimes arguably a bit flippantly.
Was she feeling okay? Oh, so funny that you asked because she was feeling fantastic.
Because THAT had been every bit worth the wait. All the little teasing, the playful almost kisses, the so-called practice sessions of testing lip gloss flavors... it all paled in comparison. This was real. And it was good. The kind of kiss that lingered, not just on her lips but in the way her heart did a smug little flip in her chest. The accent of strawberry champagne was a nice touch too - all sweet and a little effervescent, like the moment before laughter spills out. Diamond decided then and there that it was officially her new favorite—partly because it was delicious, but mostly because it was hers theirs.
"Suppose you could get under it instead," she mused, all coy innocence as her fingers brushed a stray strand of blonde behind Theia's ear. "But first, we should probably order before we get accused of loitering and tragically kicked out before our wallets are exploited by these prices. Wouldn’t want to deprive everyone of our radiant presence and notierarity. Can you imagine the scandal? Two breathtaking young women, cast into the cold for being too distracting? Headlines would write themselves. Beeeeeeeeeesides, we’ll have plenty of time for that later."
Theia certainly had her undivided attention—well, mostly. It did waver ever so slightly as the drama at the other table unfolded, presenting new, tantalizing details for her article. Him, looking as though he were bracing for an earthquake of his own making. Her, radiating textbook Hufflepuff empathy, ever the picture of patient understanding. And then, hanging in the air like the final note of a melodramatic orchestral swell: “ask you to be my only girlfriend.” The audacity. The sheer suspiciousness of needing to clarify only girlfriend. Which, of course, could only mean there was a secret second—or perhaps even third—girlfriend lurking in the shadows. Duh. Especially after that earlier display and the dramatic storming out? Practically Shakespearean in its tangled web of messy romance.
