Georgiana looked up hearing Barry's voice, she hadn't seen him come in! Georgie smiled, "Course I don't mind!" she replied, then hearing him ask if she wanted the door shut she looked towards it. Did she? It wouldn't hurt though I suppose, she slid it closed. "Sure, it's a bit chilly and that'll keep the cold air out." she replied, trying to keep the color in her cheeks normal.

"So what've you been up to?" she asked, she hadn't seen him for awhile and his birthday was approaching closer. She was still contemplating where to do the party. She thought doing it at Jason's was a good idea. But was still contemplating Rex's suggestion. She should figure it out fast, now would be the perfect time to tell him, IF she was going to.

Barry watched Georgie close the door. As soon as it was shut Barry started feeling nervous. He wasn`t exactly sure what it was for but he had to pull himself together. He had to be confident.

"Oh nothing much, just homework, catching up with old freinds" Barry said struggling to keep himself looking casual. "Do you keep in touch with the boys from your old school?" he asked then he quickly added " And the girls" Barry wanted to know if she`d been with anyone, he wasn`t exactly sure why.

Georgiana smiled, he seemed as nervous as her, she hoped she wasn't showing it though, she stretched out a little and felt her foot brush his. She quickly pulled back, "Sorry." she said, her cheeks turning a bit of color. URGH! The one thing she wanted to avoid!

Georgie nodded, "that's good! I bet you missed them over summer. And i'm sure they missed you." she smiled encouragingly, then hearing his question, her brow furrowed. It sounded like the girl part was added as an afterthought. "I actually wasn't very popular at my old school. I really only had my brother Jimmy, and his best friend Delilah." she really did miss Lilah and Jims. "I had maybe one other friend, but we sort of lost touch already." she was sort of glad, Billy always made her feel uncomfortable.

Barry felt the foot and froze. It was a few seconds before he continued speaking "No its alright, expected in a close place like this" he gestured the small booth before laying his hand on the table. Did the booth just keep getting smaller?

"Yeah not alot of freinds but I`ve got some good ones" Barry said, but he thought of most people his freinds once he`d met them even Garret. "Oh but your so much popular here! I mean you alot more people here!" he said then he heard Delilah " By any chance was Delilah a transfer?" he asked. Could it be that Delilah already knew Georgie?

Georgie wiped her hands on her jeans, she was getting nervous. It was kind of cramped, and it was a little weird. But she decided to try to ignore it.

Georgiana nodded, "That's how I felt about Lih and Jim. My brother was like my best friend." she grinned and shook her head fondly, oh how she missed him! She chuckled hearing him, "I think that's sort of Rex's doing. He's very social." she smiled, she was glad she met him. She'd made some great friends so far, Rex, Kay, Mina, Nulu, Ema, Nikki and now Barry. She smiled, then hearing him ask if Deli was a transfer furrowed her brow. "Yeah, she is. How'd you know?" Wait, Dell came from Hogwarts! She must've known Barry before!

Destiny walked into the Three Broomsticks expecting just that, Three Broomsticks. No. Actually, she couldn't spot one broomstick, let alone three.

Taking a seat at an empty table, Destiny glanced at the menu. What in the name of Merlin is Shepherd's Pie? That is one pie that she would never ever want to eat. Anything that sounds like your last name, should not be eaten. Maybe she should just go back to the castle? At least they have real pie.

"You've finished it all", said Ginny as she looked as she was going to faint. Ginny laughed at what Evelyn said. She was hoping that she wasn't being rude or anything. She thought that Evelyn can be very funny sometimes. "I mean I've still got loads but I'll be fine. Have you Hayden or Luna almost done your homework?", she said taking a little bit of a drink from her butterbeer.

Shaking his head a little bit Adam sighed. "Girls like hoodies, but you just have to get them back," he said, thinking about the time when he'd given a girl his hoodie, and not got it back. He'd been COLD. And it had been nice. Blue.

"She sound's nice," Adam said with a laugh. But he really meant it. She sounded fun, and Adam was glad his friend had found someone he liked. "But if she tries to shove me into the lake... well, that's not gonna happen." At least, in Adam's mind he really hoped not. Not water. In his clothes. Or his hair.

"I missed you too honey" Rex told Kay. "My classes are tough but I am doing ok, how about you?" Rex asked Kay. "I think I could make the team as an alternate, theere had been a lot of good players in Gryffindor" Rex explained to Kay. " I am glad we have some alone time now" Rex said to Kay. Rex just gazed in Kay's eyes and smiled.

" Hello "Rex called to the girl ordering. "After you get your food, like to join us here?" Rex told the girl.

"Well, you two have some fun talking over there" Rex told Georgiana who is sitting with Barry. Rex also waved to them. "Come over and join us when you are ready" Rex said to Georgiana.

Rex waved to Barry. Rex gave him a thumbs up. He is glad to see Barry and Georgiana together. Rexx mouthed these words to Barry as he closed the door "Come over and talk to us when you feel up to it" Rex told Barry

Destiny nodded. Evelyn was getting a turkey sandwich, it isn't that hard to order one. 'You want a drink too?' You can't eat and not have something to drink, duh! Even though Destiny's parents would never ever let her drink butterbeer at home, she was getting one now. She is not home, so they wouldn't find out and she can do what she wants.

Yep.

Destiny didn't wait to hear if Evelyn wanted a drink or not. She walked up to the counter to order the food. 'Hullo!' Gah, what did she need? Right, 'Can I have a turkey sandwich and chicken noodle soup. Annnnd two butterbeers.' Oh no! 'It's not all for me.' Just so they got that straight.

Enid was in a fit of giggles, her pale cheeks turning rather pink not with embarrassment but from her attempts not to laugh aloud like a complete maniac. "Oh, y'know... I think I might've permanently ruined my spine, but I think I'll be fine," she replied with playful sarcasm before getting up and wiping herself. "Note to self - no more leaning on back legs of chairs... unless I'm feeling masochist. Which would never, ever happen," she said with a laugh before sitting back down. But once again, she was leaning on her seat. Not as bad as last time, though.

Finally laughing Allison shook her head, "Dun lie! You know what I'm talking about...ANYWAYS! I reffffuse to tell you! Big secret. When you'll see me you'll love it! Gonna write to meh mum soon to tell her to get me it. I wonder if she'll do it herself, I'm sure can use some magic to make the outfit faster. Odds are if she buys it, it won't fit me." Pouting Allison gave a little jump. "They gotta celebrate here, just this morning I caught sight of a couple of house elves putting up pumpkins." This formed a question in Allison's head, "Got any house elves of your own Arya?"

Allison thought back to her home in Texas. Her mother had been whispering for some time now of moving to another place. According to her, people were becoming suspicious with all the owls flying all over the place. Not forgetting that several of the family's new and old house elves would crack their way in and out, making lots of racket.

Arya jumped down from the counter but continued to drum her fingers. All the sugar in her system was making her impatent. She smirked at her friend, poping a piece of gum into her mouth. "Fine then...be that way. I won't tell you what I'm gonna be."Of course she herself didn't know what she wanted to be. Maybe an elf from LoTR...that's what she was three years ago.She ran her fingers through her hair. "Nope, my muggle friends were over too much to hide them. Plus between my mom not believing in have survents and my dad wanting to live more like a muggle it would've never happened."Looking down the counter she noticed a woman who she figured to be the shopkeeper. Standing on her tippy toes she waved her hand in the air to get her attention before turning back to Allison. "Then there's the living in a muggle town. The owls we can explain cause my mom's a vet but not the elves."

Ivory glanced up from the counter trying to pinpoint the voice that had just invited her to sit with.

Looking around she spotted an older boy with blond hair and blue eyes and a slim dancer's build surrounded by other students. Deciding she liked his smile and his friendliness, since he'd just invited a perfect stranger to sit with him and a first year at that, she decided she would try really hard to not stammer in nervousness. Looking him straight in the eye, she smile and gave him a thumbs up.

"I would love to." She smiled. " Thank you. I'll just..well...you know... get my food and be right there."

She turned back to the counter to await her food, happy she wouldn't be alone in Hogsmeade.

Nicoletta found a table and sat down. She picked up a menu and read it.

Violet sat down across from Nicoletta and read the menu 'What do you think sounds good?"

"Aw, thank you, dear!" Juliette crooned, collecting the sickles and dropping them into their proper place under the counter.

Juliette accepted the sickles graciously from the girl. "You enjoy that brownie, now," she said, leaving the students to their chatter.

As she noticed the many groups around her, she wished once again she hadn't woken up late and made the trip in alone. She'd come in here hoping she'd run into someone or maybe meet some new people, but all at once she felt shy.

Resigning herself for the moment, she walked up to the counter and climbed up into a stool. Being quite short at about 4'3'', her feet didn't reach the floor and she swung them lightly as her small ovaled face tilted up towards the menu.

She tried to make her voice sound decisive and mature as she raised her hand slightly, ready to order.

"Hi, may I please have a butterbeer with a turkey sandwich. If it's not too much trouble, please without mustard or pickles."

She dug into her mokeskin belt and took out the right amount of coins placing them on the counter in front of her.

"And a cookie, chocolate please."

Juliette Shepherd beamed at the girl. "Of course a mustard-less and pickles-less sandwich won't be any trouble at all," she said kindly, scribbling the girl's order and the prices of each item on a scrap of parchment. She was good at cooking, but addition had never been her strong suit.

"Do you want your sandwich cold or grilled?" Juliette asked as she circled the sum on her parchment and began to gather the girl's food. First came the plate, on which she meticulously arranged two chocolate chip cookies. Then she fetched a glass of butterbeer for the girl and paused to wait for her response in regards to the sandwich.

"Personally, I'd like some of that shepard's pie, a brownie and some butterbeer." she said. Her stomach growled in agreement. "What about you?"

"Butterbeer chicken noodle soup, and assorted fruit" replied Violet

Nicoletta's stomach growled again. Shut it stupid! she thought. "Anywhere you wanna go once we're done? I went to Honeydukes earlier but I wouldn't mind going if you wanted to go."

Ivory was taken in by the nice manager/bartender and her beaming smile. Losing her usual nervousness in talking to new people, she answered in the brightest voice she could.

"Well, it's a bit of a cold day so I think I'd like it grilled."

"Maybe Gladrags Wizardwear" said Violet

"Yeah, that'd be fun." she said. Quite honestly, Nicoletta had never actually been in there.

"You don't understand. We hadn't spoken in two weeks. That's a long time for a couple. I just thought it was slowing down. I didn't want to get in some big fight and end it then. I just..." he said not really telling the truth but that's what he told Ella. The thing is he stopped 'loving' Ella a long time before that. He fell in love with Cadence. He fell out of love with Ella when he went to her house. He then realized they had no spark.

Sighing, Evelyn opened the door to the Three Broomsticks and took a few steps inside, watching everyone's movements and her surroundings. Sure, she looked fine and normal on the outside, but lately she'd been feeling a bit paranoid to the point that she actually considered going to the healer for help! Shrugging off her jacket since it was technically not the weather to be wearing one, even though she didn't mind the heat, Evelyn looked around for an empty table before spotting one being occupied by a very familiar person.

Smirking, she went over slowly, dodging everyone so they didn't come into her 'space', and sat down across her Slytherin friend. "Is there anything good on there?" she asked, glancing at the menu Destiny was reading. The last time she came in here, she forgot to look, being occupied by 'other' things...
