Centered among the shops of Hogsmeade is a well enough known pub in the small village, called The Three Broomsticks. Not unlike the Hog's Head down the street in the strictest idea of pubs, drinks and the like, however it is the atmosphere that helps make the latter choice the one hailed by the mass majority. The outside of the building is a good preview of what the inside may look like with the same steep roof as the surrounding buildings, yet taller, with a sign on it's facade featuring, you guessed it, the legendary three boomsticks, all fixed around a lantern to light the patrons' way.
Once you enter the pub, smells and the warmth of the large stone fireplace great you as you place hats and coats by the door. Directly infront of you there are tables and booths lining the majority of the small hall with oil lamps placed on each one. On winter days it is usually hard to find a place beside the large fire grate but if you're early enough, only Merlin can say what will happen. To your left the bar and most likely the bartender Harold "Hops" Lagerty, await you and your order--a few stools await you to take a load off and shoot the breeze with others.
The bartender is pretty sociable to those who don't annoy him. He's seen his lot of warlocks, goblins, and Hogwarts kids to know which ones were trouble and which of those made loyal customers, so be sure not to be put on the first part of the list.
A few rules from the Shop Owner: No brawling, no shouting (angrily), no alcohol to minors, and don't go up the stairs, I live up there.
OCC Rules: No RPing for the shopkeeper and all other School RPG Rules apply.

While he did enjoy a good challenge and adventure. Sometimes you just have to kick back and relax and who was he kidding. He only like the place because he could meet people here and it would not be immediately thought of as a date like going to pudifoots. Plus the butterbeer was excellent too.
"Exactly. Though it still has some cool stuff in there"
Like the stuff that you have to ask the shopkeeper to get you because it is not fit for first years to play with on the floor.
What?
That was a deep and really really really personal question. The kind Dante would usually just walk away from. But he cant do that here and he would definitely not lie to her. Sigh. It not like he has not thought about it.
"Well at first i had no idea and it was cool because people were hanging out with me. But when it finally hit that that was why they were hanging out with then it got depressing and i started hating my brother" Dante explained then shrugged. "But it's okay now. We get along and i accept that he is a wrockstar and people will try to do that"
Merlin, that was a most he had talked in a while and it was always to girls that he talked this much.
Go figure.
Eureka just offered him another smile of hers before she dared taking a bigger sip of the drink. She felt comfortable slurping and whatnot in front of Dante which was saying something. She hadn't felt comfortable much at Hogwarts yet. Granted there was no Dax to annoy her and tell on her when she smuggled wild animals into the castle, but it still wasn't that comfortable.
Anyway. Dante seemed to feel comfortable with her too, he must be because he answered her question so... honestly. It was sweet and touching. Eureka paid close attention to him as he spoke, green eyes focused entirely on his face as he spilled out how he felt about his brother's infamous reputation. At one point, she felt her cheeks grow slightly warmer. Yes, she was one of those people who had started hanging out with him because he was a Barrington but she didn't think it was the only reason now...? In fact, she hadn't thought much about it or realize that it was a thing for him. Selfish? She was a tad glad it was selfish, something that wasn't so Hufflepuff at last.
"That's good to hear," she commented finally and pushed Nigel's photograph to the faaar side of the table. "I appreciate the photograph even more so now." Because it must've been tricky forcing himself to do it knowing Eureka would appreciate something of Nigel? "Funnily, I know more about Nigel than I know of you even though you're the one I know face to face." She smiled. "You're not into music, then?"

There was no reason to not be comfortable right now. It not like they randomly decided to meet and Puddifoot's.
Then talk about awkward.
It was not surprising that she did not know much about him. Since well you know he did not like to talk about himself that much. It was boring and there were other things to talk about like....actually Dante did not know. Anyway the facts were he was not that interesting and kept to himself....mostly. He watched as she moved the picture far away. He smiled.
"It's no big deal. I can't help that you have a crush on my brother and it's not that surprising. I keep to myself mostly and i actually do like music and The Dead Kneazles, believe it not not. My favorite is Ascanius. I also like action sports and horror movies"
Boom there is mostly all he likes to do. Which is not much. But there it is. He liked Glitter Dragon too. But lets just stay on TDK. And if she wanted to know more about him. He would tell her since he already told her that really personal fact.

She was glad her friend was doing well, gosh did she miss her. Being inseparable for so long and even living together and now not seeing each other every single day was rough, but she knew their path went different ways and they were still best friends no matter what. "I noticed some changes on the old house recently. The new renters must have not liked our decor." She was light hearted about it, nothing she could do, but it still felt like their home so it was a bit disappointing to see.
Had it really been that long since Nessa had been here? Cassie tried to remember in her mind the last time they were here together. Goodness had the time gone that fast. Well she had been here a few times during the year already so it wasn't anything different for her. "I think I want some soup or just a small salad." She wasn't wanting anything huge and the vegan selection was rather small.
"A spring show sounds exciting. You'll have to give me dates and I will certainly be there. The Christmas show was just marvelous! Leo and I enjoyed it so much." She was glad to have a night out with everything else going on and going to one of Nessa's shows was just the perfect reason to go out. "Things are pretty much the same, lessons, students, homework. Gram is doing alright, they are talking about sending her home finally. So that is a plus. She's getting to annoy them I'm sure." If there was one thing her grandmother was it was feisty.
Oh. Nessa wasn't sure why, but it struck her as somewhat sad to know that their old house was changed. She supposed that she knew that there would be new tenants in there by now, but she had half-hoped to take a walk past there just for nostalgia's sake. Though maybe that wouldn't have been a good idea anyway. It might only make her sadder. "Oh, that's kind of a shame.. but I guess not too surprising. People always want to make their living space their own with a personal touch."
As Cassie expressed what she'd like to order, Nessa gave a vague nod and lifted her eyes to look for a server. They were awfully busy as she expected. She didn't want to bother Hops for service, though she did want to say hello at some point. She was getting pretty hungry but she figured someone would be along soon enough.
"Oh, I will," she smiled. "We don't have the date set in stone just yet, but I will let you know as soon as we do." But likely in April or May. Goodness, that would be here before she knew it! "I'm so glad you both enjoyed it. The students worked so hard. They really did do such a wonderful job." She couldn't be prouder and it warmed her heart to know that she had had a hand in their success. Nessa listened as Cassie caught her up a little bit with things that had been going on. "Well, that sounds great. I'm sure she'll be back on her feet in no time."

Oh. Right. Lux could understand that since Harrison was a baby and he would get cold it he went to the park in this weather. She wasn't sure how she had forgotten about that fact since she had read as much as she could about parenting in different books so that she could be ready for this stuff.
SHE WAS A BAD AUNT. BAD.
"We can go in the spring then. Maybe we can go around June!" That would be exciting. Lux loved June because that was the month she was born.
Willa nodded. "Yeah, maybe in June." But she was going to be having a very big party for Harrison because it was going to be his first birthday. She wouldn't forget about Lux's birthday but her son shared her birthday and this was an important birthday for him.

Whaaaaaa. Eureka's face burned up. "I don't have a crush on your brother," she murmured with a frown and slurped some more drink to distract herself and get rid of the annoying blushing.
It wasn't surprising that Dante liked music, but it WAS that he liked TDK and.. Ascanius? Eureka chuckled, "They say he had a baby now, it's so cute," for someone like him to have a baby, aww. "West is a family friend. My grandpa taught him and they kept in touch and stuff," she supplied before giving Dante an inquisitive look. He kept to himself mostly? "Don't you have a close friend? Like, someone who knows absolutely everything about you and you feel comfortable breaking into their house in summer and eating their food?" She smiled widely.

That just confirmed it she totally did have a crush on his brother. Which he would have loved to tease her more on. But band gossip was just as interesting. Well at the point right now it was. He hear about that through a magazine or whatever that he had a baby. Which is just weird to think about since he is Dante's brothers age. But whatever.
"Oh so you know the famous West Odessa. Very nice"
And that is why he said mostly he did have a close friend though she might kill him if he broke into her house and started randomly eating her food and he would not blame her.
"That is why I said mostly and I do and I think you know her, Maggie Traulton. Though the breaking in and stealing her food thing might earn me a curse or a quick death"
It just the way they are.

Willa wasn't being very talkative, so Lux was running out of things to say to her. She wondered if maybe her sister was stressed or something? Maybe that was why she was being so non-talkative.
Ehhh. No matter because she was hungry anyway.
"Are you sure you don't want something to eat?" Because Lux was going to order something in a few moments or so. She just wanted to talk to her sister before she left.

Eureka was somehow proud that yes, she knew the famous West Odessa. "Yep. For years. He comes over to the family house in summer with grandpa. He gives me VIP tickets to the concerts but sometimes my dad doesn't like me to go." Maybe because he thought the band and its songs was too edgy for his daughter? Not anymore! She was older and could simply sneak off there if he didn't let her. "Do you go to their concerts?" Or was it too weird seeing his brother on stage.
Oh yeah, she definitely knew Maggie. Eureka emptied the little drink that was left and nodded. "I know her. She rode with us to the castle." But then suddenly descended and seemed upset about something. "She doesn't seem the kind that allows that, no," with a laugh she continued. "That doesn't sound like a close enough friend to me." To Eureka, a best friend would be someone who'd let you do that. And more. "Do you have any pets?"

She could see that upset Nessa, Which she didn't want to do. Ugh, she was never good with change even if the change was goodf or them. She loved living in her new place with Leo, but she wished she she could still be in her cute little house with her best friend. [b] "Yes they do." She couldn't help but giggle, "I wonder if Leo feels that way about the changes I've made at our place." It was their place now.
Seeing a server she ordered and let her eyes move around. It was very busy, but sh expected as much being that it was a student weekend. "Do you miss this chaos at all?" She knew Nessa probably missed the students, but she wasn't sure about all the aspects of being a professor.
She loved how excited Nessa got over the plays. It was wonderful to see. "Well sign Leo and I up for tickets. We wouldn't miss it." She thought for a moment. "I'll ask Javy if him and Piers would like to go. I bet they could use a night out." She had been to visit recently and it would be nice to be around many friends. "I wish we could have gotten a drama club going at Hogwarts while you were there. It could have been so fun!" She really wondered about things lately, it seemed many changes were coming by the talk of her grandmother and for once she hoped maybe she wasn't right.
"Yes, yes it seems like things are finally looking up. I love helping at the shop, but it will be good to get back to just focusing on one job and not two." She had been exhausted and not feeling all that well as of lately from all the stress.
Time for the snow to fall and cover everything. Good thing the slytherin wore his snow boots his mother mailed him and his heavy winter cloak. He stomped his feet once he entered the three broomsticks to avoid tracking in snow. The one thing he didn't want to do is to make the head of the restaurant angry and kick him out. As he looked around for Candice, he told her to meet him here. I mean why not have lunch with friends right?
As he walked down he noticed the lion with tomato soup. He grinned and wondered if she ordered grilled cheese. He looked over and saw no grilled cheese. What that is just sad. He shook his head and greeted her with, "Candice you know you're supposed to have grilled cheese with that..." he pointed to her soup. "It is like a classic combo.." The slytherin was disappointed but he would let it slide. He took off his cloak and sat down in the chair. He opened his menu and wondered what he wanted. "How are your holidays going so far?" he asked just to catch up. Kate was feeling ill and couldn't make it to Hogsmeade today. She walked back up to the castle to get some rest.
She finally spotted an empty seat. The Gryffindor quickly amde her way toward the empty seat before someone else grabbed it. Seat secure! now, where was Colt anyway? She did say The Three Bromsticks, right? She should have wait for him that way she didn't need to wait. Grumble.
Speak of the devil and he should appear.
What did he just say? Grilled cheese? Eeewww. "I don't eat that stuff, Colt." How can someone eat tomato soup and grilled cheese. Its just like...Eeeeewww... "Its good so far. My brother send me some present to apologize." And some money too. "What about you? How's your holiday? Did you enjoy spending your holiday in Hogwarts?" And how's that girl friend of his? Did she get to meet her soon-ish maybe?

Well that was actually pretty nice of him. Though he did think she said he was a family friend or something of the sort. But still vip tickets is a nice thing to have. Though her dad might be right considering what happens at their concerts. He had only been to one. But if that is anything to tell. Stuff gets thrown on stage that shouldn't and shirts come off on stage. Though she would probably enjoy that.
"That is really nice of him and yeah i went to the one they had in London over the summer. With Disorder of The Phoenix. I liked it"
Oh right he had forgotten about Maggie being in that carriage with them. She was in definitely in a mood that day now that he remembers. He had no idea why she was in a mood. Maybe she just did not like Eureka. But what did he know. Girls confused him and best try not to get inside their heads. It would only make him more confused.
"Right, she was in that carriage with us. Though she was totally in a mood that day. Not sure why. We did not talk on the train there." But whatever. That was all the way in the beginning of term. Dante and Maggie have forgotten and moved on, hopefully. Pets? "I have a toad, now don't laugh because i think it is an awesome name.....Its name is Hopalong Montezuma."
It was totally an awesome name for a toad.

"Well then what kind of stuff do you eat?" He raised an eyebrow and challenged her since obviously his idea was out the window. "He sent you a present to apologize?" he raised another brow and snorted. Jeez he wished his cousins did that for him. "If my cousins did that I would be rolling in gifts right now." Now onto his holidays, "Well mine were good. My holiday was kind of chill in Hogwarts actually. I loved the huge feast and my mom did send me gifts. Even my aunts and uncles did too. They sent me way too much food.." he shrugged. I guess they thought he wasn't getting fed enough home cooked meals which in fact he did.
It was weird being back. Since they didn't come home for Christmas Cinna decided that the next Hogsmeade weekend the students had she was going to see Kaycee. Which was why she was here. She'd brave the cold Scotland to see her. It was much colder than she remembered it being here. One reason why she loved being in Australia. Always warm.
Seeing Kaycee was well worth it. Three broomsticks seem like a good place to meet her. Knowing that she'd probably see others there too. She found a booth in the back corner and grabbed it before some kid did. Hopefully Kaycee would see her back here.

Gosh! It was so good to be back here after all this time. Of course, Adi could have dropped by anytime he wanted but with preparing for University and then actually attending his double major classes and practicing Gobstones continuously for when he would be joining the Hereford Hippogriffs, there hadn't been enough time. Besides, what sense would it make to come here when his friends at Hogwarts weren't allowed to?
Nah, it made better sense to visit when they were allowed. Adi was SUPER DUPER excited to see the lot of them especially Henric, Ilia, Ava and Hady. Gosh, he missed them and hadn't seen them in a long time!
Arriving at the familiar Three Broomsticks, Adi trudged in with Benny, his signature grin in place and that usual bounce/ jump in each of his steps. Soooooo, where were those guys? His awesome friends? Aw man! It didn't seem as though they were there as yet from what he could see from his quick scan around the place. No worries though! He would wait with that Hufflepuff patience he always possessed.
"Looks like they aren't here as yet, Dragon. We could get a table in the meanwhile.'' Still grinning and bouncing, Adi grabbed his boyfriend's hand to lead him over to one right in clear view of the entrance so that their friends could see them.

Kaycee was STOKED. She hadn't seen Cinna since the summer. It was WAY too long in her opinion. So here she was. She was ready to TACKLE her big sis.
There she was!
"CINNA!" the fifth year squealed. She ran up to the older girl and gave her the world's biggest hug. Hi there. HI.

A visit to Hogsmeade...and they weren't even students.
It felt so weird to be back. What was even weirder was that they hadn't been to the wizarding village in nearly year regardless, their time away from Hogwarts only s little less. It was hard to believe one term og university was done.....finito...and another one just beginning. Time really did fly by when you're having fun. Or at the very least, working towards having fun in the long run.
But now they were back, coming to visit friends whom they hadn't seen since the summer, and only owled since then. Seeing them in person was so much better though. And low and behold....a Hogsmeade weekend for the students of Hogwarts. Having apparated into the village, Benny followed alongside Adi to the Three Broomsticks, the a=place unfortunately devoid of friendly faces at the moment.
"I guess not..." he agreed, since they clearly weren't around in his sight and he didn't think he was missing anything. "Sounds like a plan," the aspiring dragonologist letting Adi take his hand and lead them off to a table to wait.

When Adi had owled, saying that he was coming to Hogsmeade, Ilia could barely contain her excitement. She missed her boys so much! She and Henric had a date anyways, so they were both coming to see the other half of the creatures posse. The moment that they reached the iconic establishment, Ilia could no longer contain herself. She let go of Henric's hand to rush in.
Bright blue eyes scanned the interior and found what they were looking for in an instant. "Adigriff!!!!!!!!!!" Ilia practically ran and threw her arms around the older boy, hugging him tightly. She was wearing her 'toothless' hoodie again so it almost looked like a baby dragon was excitedly mauling him. After a moment of squeal happy giggles, she finally calmed down a little and gave him another big squish and a kiss on the cheek.
Benny's turn! She let go of Adi long enough to fling her arms around the leodraco and give him a squish too. "Benny Drake!" The generally stoic snakette was full of life and energy today. Finally, she stood still with a hand on each of them. " I missed my boys so much! How are you!? How is school? How is gobstones? How is Garm? Is he behaving? Oh my goodness Benny how is your baby girl? Do you just love her? Did you decide on a name? Freyr says you guys were adorable together!" Goodness.... Had Ilia ever said so much, so excitedly at once in her entire life? Not that she could remember no.....these were her boys. Henny, Adi, and Benny were a a totally different scenario than anyone else in her life. These were her boys, her pack, and she loved them all fiercely (although Henric had bf status, that was her man).

From the second Hady knew Hogsmeade weekend was coming up she knew without a shadow of a doubt that she would get to see her big brother. So when that owl had come from Adi telling her to meet not only himself but Benny at the Three Broomsticks she was excited. The day hadn't come at all fast enough.
Sadly she arrived on her own without the boyfriend for he was currently busy but she knew she'd meet up with him later in the day. Pushing the doors open and stepping inside the brunette swept her gaze over the area for the two boys in question. This didn't take her long at all and she made her way over to them taking notice to Ilia as well. Hello fellow slightly older snake.
As much as the small girl wanted to fling herself at Adi and Benny she held back a few moments waiting her turn. It would come, that much she was sure.

When Adi sent her an owl about he's gonna come to Hogsmeade and visited her (and the others too), Ava couldn't help but very excited about this.She missed her Hufflepuff brother very much! There were sooooo many things that she wanted to tell him, including the hag and defective potions master. Yeah. He had to know about that!
Grabbing her Gryffindor scarf and a snapback, the young lioness rushed to the Three Broomsticks where they were gonna meet. There he was, with his boyfriend. She also spotted Ilia and Hady were already there too. Oh no, was she late? "ADIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!" Ava run toward him and gave him a huge squishy hug. "I'm supposed you're gonna treat me food and butterbeer right? Because I'm already hungry!" Hehehe... "Hi Benny! How's you?" Of course she didn't forget to greet his boyfriend. "Hi Hady, Hi Ilia!" She greeted the Slytherin girls too. "Where's Henric? Got stuck by prefect duty?" She asked.

Henric was excited to meet Adi and Benny again, how long has it been since they last saw each other?! It felt like a lifetime really...heheh. llia of course couldn't stop talking about it ever since she got the letter from them that they would be visiting today. He knew how much she missed them and she couldn't wait to see them too!
Woah...look at her go! "llia! You're leaving your boyfriend behind in the cold like this? Wait up!" he laughed as she went in ahead of him first. He chuckled, he didn't mind. He loved seeing her all smiling and bursting with energy. She was adorable indeed...too adorable for words. He chuckled, amused with her excitement. He watched her jumped into Adi's arms as soon as she spotted them, he couldn't help but to shake her head at her. "Slow down llia, let the man breathe for a second,"he said to her, totally amused by her actions. She was squishing Adi so tightly, he was afraid she might break him. Haha!
Henric grinned widely at the both of them,"Hey guys! We're not late, are we?" He waited for llia to release Adi, before he gave his Ex-Hufflepuff bro a warm welcoming man-hug of his own. "Miss you bro! Glad you guys are here!" He turned to Benny next and pull him to a squishing hug too before letting go. "You too Benny! How are you guys really?" he asked as he put his arm around llia's shoulders.
Oh Ava and Hady were here as well! "Hey guys! I'm here Ava, how could I miss seeing them,"he smiled broadly, wagging a finger at her.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
They might have been dating each other over a year now but Adi still liked holding onto Benny’s hand as though they were out on a date for the first time. And this was exactly what he was doing as he eagerly watched the entrance to the Three Broomsticks. “I expect they’ll be here soon,’’ he mused. “Bet it’s going to either be Hades or Veela girl that gets here first.’’
How right he was! Ilia was the first to arrive. He grinned like the big goofball that he was when he saw her rush in and jumped to his feet instantly. He squished Benny’s hand before taking Ilia in his arms to hug her. She had his favourite type of hug ready- that big, squashy one. Or two in this case “My Toothless Veela girl!” The Hufflepuff hugged her back, practically squishing her. He accepted her kiss with another grin. He laughed as he watched her attack Benny. Dragon attacking dragon, in this case. “We’ve missed you guys too! Good thing we have Garm to remind us of you. Don’t worry, he’s well behaved.’’ Indeed he was. Adi and Benny loved having the doggie around. “University and Gobstones are great!” Adi just had to laugh again. Lookit Ilia being so excited! “Freyr would be right about that. We get lots of compliments like that.’’ He winked and leaving Ilia to Benny, he turned to Henric.
“Henny!’’ Adi enthusiastically returned the bro hug. “How’s it going, man? Not letting those new Hufflepuffs take advantage of you, right?’’ Henric was a softie at heart, ya know. “Don’t even need to ask if you’ve been taking care of the baby badgers.’’ Nah, he knew Henric must be feeding them well with all the baked treats. “Anyone levitated you up to the treehouse?’’ he joked. It was safe to say that Adi missed levitating Henric. Hehe. The dude was half tempted to do so right now!
Over Henric’s shoulder, Adi could see one of his little sisters hanging back. After releasing him from the hug, the University student bounded over to her and without a word enveloped her into a HUUUUUUUGE, bone crushing hug. “Hades! You look wonderful!’’ His sister was all grown up! He didn’t want to stop hugging her but he had to, right? Hmph! What a bummer. “How are you? And Frankie? Where is he?’’ Ehem. No over protective big brother here. Nop- YES. Who was he kidding? He was still doing his best to not scare the other guy off but at the same time keep Hades safe from any heartache. Ahhh, the struggles of that!
Gosh! Who was that with the LOUD MOUTH? Haha. Rhetorical question there, folks! Adi would recognise that voice anywhere. “Prank- I mean AVAAAAAA!” He opened his arms to hug yet another little sister, squishing her tight. “Of course! You get to eat and drink as much as you like!’’ They all could! It would be his treat. “How’s Teddy?’’ The Burton family had a special place in his Hufflepuff heart so he had to inquire about them. He knew Zhenya was quite well and loving her job at the Ministry. Oh yeah! Before he forgot… “I’ve got something for you,’’ he told her in a whisper. Into his pocket he reached to withdraw some innocent looking and colourfully wrapped sweets. “I haven’t come up with a name for them as yet but perhaps you would like to? They make the person who eats them smoke from the ears for about half an hour. I can tell you it was quite fun watching Benny smoke.’’ The sweets were a simply mixed with a potion made from similar ingredients of the Pepper Up potion which had the ear smoking side effect. “Don’t worry, they’s quite safe. Benny and I tested them.’’ In Benny’s case, he had unknowingly done so until Adi had laughingly pulled him in front of a mirror to point out the sweets' effects.

They didn't have to wait long. Suddenly a flash of black swooped in to Adi in a hug and it was the nickname that was used that identified the dragon-like object now clinging to his boyfriend. Ilia was sure excited to see him...them...the hug soon transfered to him and Benny returned it in his more subdued way. "Hi Ilia," he greeted with a chuckle at her whole behavior but it was worth it. "I missed you too." Once the tension surrounding Henric had abated they were all good friends.
As for the questions that refered to him alone or Adi hadn't answered, Benny did his best to answer them all. "She's wonderful....and I do," he remarked, thinking to his dragonlet and making a mental note to visit her again soon. "Mhmm," he said with a nod, "Ethelinda...Adi calls her Linda." At least his other half wasn't jealous of the time he spent with her. But then with his gobstones, they each had their separate activities away from each other.
Hady and Ava were close behind, the Gryffindor practially mimicing Ilia while the younger Slytherin seemed to be hanging back. "Hi Hady...Ava," he greeted with a smile at the two of them. "I'm good...sometimes tired but good." They weren't kidding when they said Uni was quite different from Hogwarts. Not to mention Adi's occasional attempt to get him running early in the morning.
Speaking of Henric...
"Nope...you're not late," Benny assured him, though he was a bit slower than his girlfriend. "We pretty much just got here." And then they had all swarmed in clearly having missed them. It was nice to be missed and feel loved. He got a bro-hug from Henny too which he returned. "We really are good." Happy, healthy, and doing well in school. Hearing the mention of certain sweets being discretely passed beside him, he couldn't help but snort. "Yes, for once it wasn't out of my nose."

It was hugs all around it seemed. Or well hugs all around directed at Adi and Benny. Clearly she hadn't been the only one that missed those two boys.
Hady didn't mind one bit waiting for her turn to greet her brother(s) as yes, Benny was now included in the mix. One moment she was on her feet and the next she was swept up off them into a giant hug by the one and only AdiBear. Hady grinned throwing her arms around him in the tightest hug she could manage and held on probably just a tad longer then needed. "I couldn't be better really things are going good for me at school this term." Besides being frozen by a Hag and poisoned in class. Frankie. The mention of the boyfriend still made her blush slightly pink. "Good, he's good. We're good. He's studying." If he could be here with her she knew he would be.
When Adi let her go she wandered over to Benny and gave him a hug as well. "Hi Benny, how are you?" He was doing good in Uni and all that, right?
Glancing at the others she gave them all a light smile in greeting.

Another squishy hug! And this time from Hades! When was the last time they had hugged like this? Was it during her birthday party last summer? It probably was. Anywho, he was SUPER pleased to hear about her school year so far. He suspected much of it had to do with Frankie. Keep it up, Frankie, and you'll be somewhat out of the danger zone of being jinxed. "Ah, he's studious.'' Good, good. "How are your studies for OWLs? If you need notes or anything especially on Potions and CoMC, let me know.''
While Hades went to talk with Benny, Adi bounded over to the counter to order butterbeer for everyone and returned shortly after with six bottles levitated towards the group. "Here you go, guys!'' He could order another round if they wanted too. Eyes on you, Ava.

Hugs were a glorious thing. Especially those coming from Adi (no offense Frankie she loved his hugs too!). The former Badgers hugs were different though, special, the loving hugs of an epic and protective big brother bear. Gosh how she missed his hugs. Grinning brightly up at him she nodded. "He is, he's taking his studies much more seriously now as well as his Perfect duties." All in all she was very proud of Frankie. Mentions of OWLs though had her groan quietly but it was followed by laughter. "Really well. I just worry about Ancient Runes." Worst subject right there but any notes or assistance for her lessons she would NOT turn down. "That would be great, thanks!" Cue adorable little sister smile.
While talking with Benny out of the corner of her eye the girl watched Adi go get drinks returning with butterbeer for them all. Now it was a party! Accepting a bottle she twisted it open and took a sip. "Thanks." Butterbeer was always appreciated.
