Maura shrugged. "Well I have no idea who she is..." she said. She looked over at Livvy and flashed her a smile. She turned back to James and said, "Okay, like I said it's better to be just friends. So let's start over." She held out her hand. "Hi I'm Maura, who are you?"

James shook her hand. His skin was freezing. "My name is James. It's nice to meet you Maura", James smiled.

Livvy had looked back to watch James and the girl. She raised her eyebrow when the girl smiled. Livvy offered a small smile back out of politeness. Eh. Who knows? Maybe the girl's a good one after all.

"Well then, hello James," said Maura. She let go of his hand; it was too cold. "So, James, what do you enjoy doing?"

"I like reading, swimming and running", James said, "How about you? What do you enjoy doing?"

"You didn't tell me that. Do you like hiphop?"

Livvy grinned and shrugged. "Well, I'm mysterious," she said, humorously. "Yeah. Hip hop's cool. Really... popular back at home."

ooc// be back in an hour.

"Well," said Maura, "I am a silver medalist in swimming, and I like to sing but it sounds terrible, and I like reading, and I'm a ballet dancer. My ballet teacher hired a painter to paint me and so I'm on Wizarding ballet posters all over England." She shrugged.

"Wow that's amazing, my mother put me in ballroom dancing when I was three", James told her.

Maura smiled, trying to imagine a three year old James ballroom dancing. "Did you like it?" she asked.

"It was really fun. I eventually learned how to combine my ball room dancing with Ballet with help from Jinx Moon", James said.

"You know how to pop lock and drop it?" Chalice asked. "If you do we can do it here, I have an ipod and speakers. That would make a scene "

Livvy laughed and nodded her head. "Heck yes. You wouldn't make it where I'm from without knowing," she said with a large grin. A mischievous glint was soon seen in her eyes. "Heh heh. Sure..."

"Oh," said Maura. "Yeah, Jinx is nice. I didn'y know she could dance, though." She shrugged. "I'm glad you liked it."

Chalice pulled out the ipod and speakers from her bag and put on Pop Lock and Drop It. She got on to the table and pulled Livvy up. On the corus the girls when to the left on Pop to the right on Lock and on Drop It they dropped down and hit the table and came back. They repeated this until all of the Pop Lock and Drop Its were done and the song was over. "Oh my GOD!! That was even more fun than in the muggle world!" Chalice said. "My dad is a muggle and my mom might as well be." Chalice explained "You see, my mom's side of the family is pretty much all dead exept for her and me, so when she decided to act as a muggle before my grandparents died they left the family fortune to me instead of her. She figured since she could now just be a muggle that she would give me all the gold in her vault and live as a mugggle with her law degree."

Livvy laughed as Chalice pulled her up onto the table. They went to the left then went to the right and dropped down to the table and the process went over again. Livvy grinned widely. "That was so awesome!" she said, jumping up and down. She smiled as she listened to Chalice. "Oh... well I think that's nice..."

"It was fun but we were more of partners in dancing", James said.

Jessica pushed the door gently and walked in. The place wasn't as crowded as she had expected. But it was very pleasant and warm inside.

Jess looked for an empty table and took a seat, waiting for Nancy to join her. She took of her scarf and jacket and felt much better.

Finally! Warmth! Nancy felt her cheeks reddening a bit because of the sudden heat but it felt very cozy being inside. Following Jessica towards an empty table she let herself fall onto one of the chairs. Reluctantly taking off her gloves and her jacket she smiled at Jessica. "So, what do you want to drink? Butterbeer?"

"Yes, I'd go with butterbeer." Jessica agreed. "How about you?" she asked Nancy.

"So did you do any shopping today in Hogsmeade? I had to buy quills, ink and parchment. I think we write too much at school..." Jess laughed.

"What house are you in? I don't reckon you've told me that." Jessica asked with curiosity.

ooc: sorry I have to go but we'll continue this discussion later, ok?

"Okay." Nancy mumbled already on the way towards the counter. After carefully returning with two butterbeers she put one down in front of Jessica and the other one directly towards her lips. Taking a big gulp she felt the warmth spread inside her. "You know, I'm actually pretty proud of myself, that I haven't spilled the butterbeers, right now." She chuckled at her own joke.

"No, actually I didn't. Nothing I need." Well, except for a new broom, but whatever. "Mhm, you're right. All those notes I'm taking during classes. I'm sure I'll need new things pretty soon, as well."

"Uhm...Slytherin. You?" Nancy hoped she wouldn't have a problem with that. Although, if she did she wouldn't be worth it to be her friend, anyways.

OOC: Okay, bye...

The chilly autumn breeze outside had left her nose slightly redder than usual, but Evangeline didn't really care. And it wasn't only because once they stepped into the pub, the coldness disappeared, no. She didn't mind because Clifford was there with her, and she felt strangely ... proud to walk around with Clifford, her arm linked with his. Yeah, she was a show off. She luuuurved to show people how happy they were - she'd never ever hide it just because it upset some people.

"I dunno why to you don't understand why I ain't surprised, Cliffie." She stated seriously, raising one eyebrow up at him as lead her further into the pub. Okay, so she wasn't sure he'd make the team, but she had plenty of confidence in him to know he was perfectly capable of that. She didn't know much about Quidditch, but she knew he rocked. And that was enough.

Knowing full well he wouldn't be that sure, she shrugged and undid the clasp of his cloak. She didnt really needed it here, after all. "I mean, you have been on that team since our first year. It's quite obvious that not only you are good at it, you also are needed in the team!" Hehe. It seemed quite simply to her, really. Pfft. And she was the Quidditch ignorant here.

Clifford was quite glad to get out of that frosty breeze and enter the cosy, warm pub. He didn't mind the cold so much though. He'd rather turn into a human ice cube than take back his cloak and let Evangeline get an ickle bit chilly. Teehee.

It seemed his good news of making the Slytherin Quidditch team for the fifth year running hadn't came as much of a surprise to Evangeline though, and with a small chuckle, Clifford shook his head in amusement. "I dunno, I just thought they must be bored of me by now or something." He shrugged his shoulders and dropped his bag on an empty table in a quieter spot away from the bar area. Not that they really needed a quieter area.. when it was just Cliffie and Evie they tended to enter their bubble anyways.

"Anyway, what'll it be?" He asked, helping Evangeline out of his cloak and pulling out one of the chairs for her. Apparently he could be quite the gentleman when he wanted to be. "A Butterbeer for the lady?"

Of course Evangeline had noticed how pale Clifford actually looked - due to the breeze outside, no doubt. However, she had remained quiet regarding that, not wanting to make a fuss over it. He thought she worried too much already, she didn't need thinking she was silly. Okay - sillier. But now that they were inside, she was beginning to see an ickle bit of colour return to his cheeks, a clear sign that his body temperature was going back to normal.

"Bored of you? Pfft. Please." She said with a bit of a roll of eyes, dropping her own bag on the chair next to his. Thank Merlin it wasn't that heavy. "One, they need such a good player as you in the team and two, it's impossible to get bored of you." She giggled a bit shyly at her own words and squeezed his hand. Hehe. She knew she would never get bored of him, so how could other people? It was just impossible.

EEP! And it seemed he was in a gentleman mode, which just made him even MORE adorable. Good God, would he ever stop making her fall more in love with him? A thankful smile flickered on her lips when he got his cloak out of her AND puled out one of the chairs for her. Siiiiigh. "Hmmm ... can the lady have some hot chocolate instead?" She asked with a small smile as she sat down.

"It would be fine except that my mother broke her wand and everything so even if I'm a half blood I may as well be muggle born. No offense, just if she has magic why doesn't she use it?" Chalice said. "That was soo much fun!"
