| | |  Magic Carpet Ride Date: Jack Lupin and Nicole Botts
The sun is fierce throughout the day in Istanbul, and once it sets, the residual heat takes a while to dissipate, making the roof top dining room of Café Byzantine an ideal spot to catch a breeze. Gauzy curtains and clean white canopies ensconce the diners without blocking out the warm night air. Flickering lamplight falls on polished brass, blood red cushions, and cool white linens, harkening the diner back to antiquity without effort.
The menu is traditionally Turkish, a wonderful melding of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes prepared by a chef that learned to cook at her mother’s knee. The air is rich with exotic spices, and water and ayran are served chilled right on the table. The menu is extensive, from simple soups and spreads served with sliced pita bread to elaborate shwarma and kebab dishes. Very few leave the café still hungry; in fact, the chef would take it as an insult if diners didn't enjoy several courses.
Low walls surround the rooftop café, and the diners almost feel as if they are dining on a cloud, albeit a warm, cumin-scented one. Propped against one wall is a pile of ragged carpets that almost seem to twitch in the wavering lamplight. Upon closer inspection… the antique rugs are twitching, eagerly awaiting their passengers before soaring off into the night sky. Magic carpets are illegal in the United Kingdom, but they are very common sights in this part of the world. Once dinner is finished, diners are encouraged to work up an appetite for dessert by taking a short ride over the ancient and beautiful parts of this lovely city.  | |

Nicole shook her head and said, "No I understand what you mean, I've had that happen to me to much when I'd come back to my old friends during the summer in between Hogwart years."

"But it's ok, I'm happy to be near my son." He said with a smile. "One thing i didn't miss was all the rain London gets, sometimes i feel like a wet dog walking into my flat." He said with a laugh.

Jack asked, he didn't really mind any type of weather but he didn't really like how humid it could be. "Max is from America, he has an american accent. It's odd to hear my son speak like an american, not that there's anything wrong with it."

It's odd to hear my son speak like an american, not that there's anything wrong with it." Nicole took some time to think about that. She never noticed the weather to much for living there so long. "Well," she started, "I guess you could say its between dry and wet, most wet though." She laughed a littl and said, "That would be weird to have your own child speak a different accent than you would."

"It is odd, he has a very proper American accent." Jack said with a laugh, he grew up in England but he learned to speak in America.

So he decided to try and make her laugh, he pulled out his wand and pointed at the table and said in a serious voice "Accio Food!" thought the face he was making made it obvious that he was joking.

She looked back at Jack with a small frown.

Jack laughed at the failure he knew was coming "Oh, well it was worth the try." He said as he sheathed his wand. "What kind of wand do you have, Nicole? some wizards say that wands are the key to two wizards compatibility." He said in a joking but flirtatious tone. Which was an old wives tale of course and jack knew it not to be true, but he was trying to make conversation.

Looking down at her wand Nicole said with a small smile, "The core is Dragon and the wood Laurel." She put her wand away and looked up at Jack with sweet eyes. "What about yours," she asked.

"Yes, this is the same one that chose me at Ollivander's all those years ago." He said with a bit of fondness. He never thought about people losing and having to replace their wands, although considering everywhere he'd been it must truly be a loyal wand to have stuck with him. "What about you? same wand?"

"Yeah, same wand," Nicole told him. "Got it in Ollivander's as well. I haven't been there is so long before I took my daughter," she added. Smiling she thought about that day back in Ollivander's.

I've thought about moving to Hogsmeade but i think my son would just get annoyed that i'd live that close." Jack said with a laugh. "Are there any Wizarding villiages in America?"

In America she only really was in the muggle world and for being in the wizarding world was in Uk.
