Madame Puddifoot's is a quiet tea shop where you can meet up with your friends.
The tea shop 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 small container with a tea light 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.
Sapphira Puddifoot keeps the shop this way because she has to. But 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, but make sure you know what you want to order as she doesn't have all day.

And he wasn't even thinking about that! Nope... to him, it was just them here right now. Which was more than okay.
...
The hand grabbing and the lacing fingers thing? That was really nice. "I'm really glad!" Especially since she could have been doing anything else but she had decided to spend the day with him. ... And then it got worse. With the leaning up and the whispering and just in the general way in which she was really close to him. Like really close. "Yeah? Your favourite? That's a big title, you know," he whispered back, "And you're my favourite too!" Just saying.
Yeah, you were caught in the act, Miss Ella Bishop. And it wasn't as if Alec minded her... looking at him? Or, well, whatever it was, Alec still didn't mind. Especially because of her reaction afterwards. "Yeah? It's good that you're great!" Really. And why did he ask? "Oh, well... your cheeks are sort of... flushed." And yeah, this fact made him grin.
Awful was a good way to describe it, actually. A very good way. "Agreed!" he said, nodding at her, "But maybe... maybe this'll help?" He hoped so because squishing his puppy!toy -- the very same one she had given him for Christmas -- didn't seem to help. Not as much as he'd hoped. ... "Of course! It's a really awesome watch and it means a lot to you so..." He really couldn't find any reason not to wear it. Nope. And she was doing that smiling thing too which was actually very contagious.
At the blonde girl's nod and words, Alec got up and stepped around the table towards her. Smiling, he took a hold of the necklace and bent down slightly until his face was almost level with hers. Erm... "Your hair," BLINK. "I mean... it's nice, really! Yeah... I just... need to..." And he held up the necklace as a sort of way of explaining. ... Way to ruin the romantic mood, Summers.
Something else? Something different? PIE?! "Pie-ish sounds great!" he said, scanning the list, "What about..." Scan... scan... scan... "Rhubarb pie? Or apple pie?" Unless she wanted, say, a pudding of some sort?
So...maybe the getting this close to Alec thing had been a bad idea. Mostly because once Ella got off of her tiptoes, she was staring straight at his lips. Yup. She quickly averted her gaze but then he had to go and whisper back to her. Ugh. WHY, SUMMERS, WHY? Ella's green eyes traveled up to his grey-blue ones which were looking more blue today and she smiled. "Yeah, my favorite. I...it is? Well I mean it so.." Shuffle. And she was his too? "I'm really glad." Unable to stop herself, the blonde stretched a bit and kissed him on the cheek. That was acceptable, right? She really couldn't help it.
Ella felt so silly for staring but really, if he'd just wear a bag over his head there wouldn't be a problem. See? Solutions, people...Ella had them. And he just had to point out her red cheeks, didn't he? The blonde's hands flew up to cover them and she bit her lip. "No fair, mentioning the blushing." He knew how she felt about that. Poke. Poke. Poke.
"I sure hope it'll help." Really. She needed something to focus on when he wasn't around. Somehow life just wasn't as great without him by her side. Was that weird? Weird or not, it was sure scary to feel that strongly about someone. Ella shrugged off all thoughts of time away from him for now though because he was here! And they were meant to be celebrating, yeah? BEAM. "You mean a lot to me too." For the record and everything.
Too close, Summers, too close. Ella bit her lip as she looked him in the eyes, willing her brain to work. She couldn't think when he was close like this and her heart was beating extremely fast. She wasn't going to have a heart attack, was she? O__O That'd totally ruin their date. And he was talking. Talking about her hair? "I...oh! Here." She realized what he meant as she focused on the necklace and Ella gathered her hair and lifted it so he could put it on for her.
"Apple pie!" Bounce. Was she too excited about this? Probably. "I mean..." Ahem. "Apple pie sounds delicious." GRIN.

" i'll tell you after drinking whatever they had at the school this stuff is great." like really, it was like Heaven in liquid form in her cup.. seriously. Looking down at her shirt as he commented she chuckled at his yellow comment. " there's some yellow in it see?" she said pointing to the OBVIOUS small amount of yellow. " though once it gets a bit colder I have a really cute yellow outfit i'll have to show you." cause it was cute, and she rocked that yellow shirt and yeah, she was awesome.. no doubt.
She was really focused on that Pumpkin Juice. Was it really that good? "Could I give it a sip?" He needed proof, and as of right now, the Pumpkin Juice they had at the school was pretty good.
Maybe he should make up his own recipe of Pumpkin Juice. He's already great at making Veggie Drinks, and Fruit Smoothies. Pumpkins were...Vegetables right? How hard could it be.
"Yellow, yellow?" Oakey squinted his eyes trying to spot the yellow she was talking about. He didn't see any at all. "Oh right that Yellow, I can't believe I didn't see it there.". Oakey lied with a smile to make Ariana happy. She knew what color yellow was didn't she? Merlin, she was dating him, a Hufflepuff! They practically bleed Yellow. "It's not a full body duck suit is it? Maybe you should return that to Daichi." He squeezed her side, to let her know he was messing with her. He'd love to see this full on Yellow outfit.

Was this even allowed in the middle of the tea shop? The being close and whispering thing? He was pretty sure it wasn't. Maybe. Especially not in the way Ells was doing. And speaking of things Ells was doing, Alec was pretty sure that the looking at lips thing should not be allowed. And he wasn't going to use this opportunity to moisten his lips with his tongue. But he looked into her green eyes instead and smiled back. They were really nice, actually. Her green eyes. "Yeah, it is! I... well... I'm glad you do!" GRIN. ... Oh? Alec reached up a hand and gingerly touched the spot on his cheek that was now starting to tingle from the touch of her lips. "That was nice..."
... So Alec felt bad. And not because he had pointed out the girl's red cheeks. He actually liked pointing out how red her cheeks became at times. But he felt a little bad for the chuckle that had escaped his lips from the moment the girl's hands flew to her cheeks. ... It was just funny! "I don't know what you mean, E-" ... WOAH. "Did you just poke me, Bishop?" Dramatic!gasp.
"Me too!" he said, nodding, "Erm... but we can still visit each other, right?" Even if they now had the keychains and everything. Because he still really wanted to see her too! Over the holidays and times when they were apart and... well... was that seeing each other too much? If they constantly went over to the other's houses over the holidays? ... "Really?" GRIN. "So do you, you know. ... To me, I mean."
That lip biting thing was something else that really shouldn't be allowed as well. Especially since he was so close and he couldn't help but look down at her lips as she did that lip biting thing. His eyes flicked back up to her green ones as she started speaking. "Thanks..." he whispered, trying not to stare at her hair and how smooth the skin on her neck looked. He leant forwards and reached around her neck, clasping the necklace closed. There. And since he was so close, he gave her a small kiss on her cheek before leaning backwards and whispering, "What do you think?" Since... it was her necklace and all.
Was she this excited about apple pie? GRIN. "You like apple pie?" ... "But apple pie sounds great! And... maybe... we should get something to drink as well?"
She was really focused on that Pumpkin Juice. Was it really that good? "Could I give it a sip?" He needed proof, and as of right now, the Pumpkin Juice they had at the school was pretty good.

Could he have a sip.... she blinked .. "no." she said suddenly with a serious face before she cracked a smile and laughed "I'm kidding, course you can." she said sliding her cup towards him. after she did that she folded her hands in front of her and stared at him, waiting for his verdict on the best pumpkin juice she had in months, and if he didn't think it was just to die for, she'd have to do something about that.
"it's there.." she said pointing directly at the faint line of BRIGHT yellow. Look CLOSER boyfriend, it was there, she knew her colors ok. She looked up at him just in time to catch his smile which just made her melt on the inside, he was so cute. His smile his eyes the way he did that smirk that was so funny & cute. He was forever making her laugh which was a great plus..
"duck what?".... she totally spaced out just looking at him. " sorry, I was totally staring at your face." she admitted as she smirked at him. He knew he was hot right? "hehehe" she giggled and flailed a bit as he squeezed her side a bit," when it gets colder, i'll show you." cause she had the jacket and everything and it was just awesome

Something suddenly felt very, very wrong about this meeting. Tori tried to quell the sudden bubble of fear that popped up in the base of her tummy. She tried to keep the focus on him as he spewed out a really long sentence about the air force and tuition and uni and America? A school in America? Um he couldn't really want to go there, right, because he knew how she felt about America and it was like, way too far to travel every day by portkey...
Tori's hazel eyes started to narrow, not with anger for once, but with anxiety. The fearful feeling grew and grew until it seemed to be coming up her esophagus, into her mouth, choking the air out of her nostrils, out of the whole room. Split up? Split up? Them? They? Fostbury? Split? What did he mean by that? What could he possibly mean by that?
And why?
Tori had no words, at first, to counter those terrible ones that Paulie had just slapped her with. She sat there looking like she was choking or dying or just not breathing, because that's what it felt like. Like an elephant had just sat on her face and sucked all the air out of her lungs.
"Noo... Paulie, nnno..." she choked on the last word and shook her head violently, leaning forward so he could see how she felt about this. "No. We can work this out. We can make it work. We can... I can p-pay your tuition..." Her crushed face was pleading him to change his mind.
"Nooo please."
Paulie couldn't bear to look at Tori. It was quite cowardly for a Gryffindor, quite cowardly for him. But he knew that if he looked at her, there was a very good chance that he'd just cave. And a big part of him wanted to. His heart wanted to, at least, which significantly outsized his brain. Instead, his hand went to the back of his neck. He rubbed it hard, violently almost, until he hit a nerve and jumped slightly.
When she leaned forward, he finally lifted his head a little and peered up at her. Her eyes, her words, her tone. They all cut through him and gave him the sensation that he was being gutted like a pig.
"I'm sorry." He swallowed down the lump in his own throat and shook his head. Were his insides all gone now? 'Cause that sounded about right.. "It was easy when we were at Hogwarts. It's just.. when we're apart..." He trailed off, paused for a moment or two. "We're always apart."

If he was sorry then why didn't he just take it back? TAKE IT BACK, Tori wanted to scream, dramatically, and flip over the table and stomp her feet and storm out of there. After EVERYTHING Paulie had done to her, after she had FORGIVEN him for cheating on her it was just a kiss but it counted, after all the sacrifices they had BOTH MADE to stay together...
...it just wasn't enough?
"But.... we can fix that," Tori protested, meekly, feeling tears start to well in her eyes. "W-w-we were talking about getting a place together, remember? We were going to DO things, Paulie, TOGETHER. Finally, now that we can be together." She had just graduated! Pleeeeeeeeeeease!

Mika just turned and nodded when he asked if she was sure, she was very sure. Very extremely sure. "Yes, I am" she nodded again. And when her friend said those words her eyebrows knitted together. "Excuse me?" She somewhat fake-snapped. Her hand kind of slipped from this because well, she was nervous it would go all clammy and sweaty and maybe his felt a little sweaty. So, yes. She didn't want a sweaty hand.
For emphasis she put her hand on her hip in a faux show of attitude. "Did you just realize that? It took what...four years and my voice not dropping for you to realize that?" She asked her tone breaking into laughter as she spoke. "But yeah...tea - that sounds nice, and hey! I might try a reading...since they are fun" she offered with a chuckle. She'd just jot down her symbols in the notebook she had in her bag. She had brought that just in case she had to stop by and sell some eggs.
"Bu-um, but...are you sure the tea place isn't that g-girly?" She asked and glanced at him. The way she had said girly it was CLEAR she was saying isn't that a date-place? She wasn't sure what this was. But tea was warm and right now warm was good.
"What?" Kaiden asked, turning to look at the girl. "No, I was just saying. You know, incase you didn't know." he reached over and poked the girl in the ribs. "And I thought your voice dropped nicely." he said with a grin. "And you'd make a great boy." Yep. Though, a very pretty one. "Oh, so you want to do a tea reading?" Hopefully it would go better than class right? With no Moses, it should.
"Wait? What about my bum?" He asked placing his hand back there. "Its not girly is it? Oh, the tea?" He shrugged "No, its fine." He reached for her hand once more and lead the way to the tea place. He was even all gentleman-y, and held the door open for her, and held her seat out for her and everything. "So um, what would you like?"

He was even all gentleman-y, and held the door open for her, and held her seat out for her and everything. "So um, what would you like?"
The sound had erupted from her before she could even think about stopping it. That familiar giggly noise – it wasn’t familiar to her except for the fact whenever anyone tickled her or poked her rib the noise happened. To muggles though and muggle borns it was far more familiar. The nostalgic sound of a white two-inch tall dough based logo.
“No, no, no, stop pleaaaase” she had giggled when he poked her in the ribs. After that she just gave him a face when he said her voice had dropped nicely. “Seriously? My voice didn’t drop if it did I’d have one of those” she said as she pointed at his throat and that triangular thing jutting out of it. Really. “Those things…they make me think of those reflex testers muggle doctors use on kids,” she said with a laugh.
My bum? She snorted and laughed at the word. “Silly, I was saying but and um…didn’t mean to say that” she’d just never talk about that nope. Never. “Oh that’s…” she stopped herself as he opened the door for her and pulled the seat out for her. Wait, was this a date? But he had said it wasn’t girly. “Oh, um…thank you” she smiled over to him.
“Oooh…” she thought as she glanced at the list. “I um…chamomile sounds good, its calming” she added with a nod. That would be perfect for the idea of doing a reading right? Perfect. “W-what are you getting?” She asked as she nervously glanced at the table in front of her and stared at her fork. “You know sporks are weird” she ended up nervously muttering to her friend. “I mean…they make more sense then knorks because knorks can cut your mouth” yep she was blabbering and muttering weird things. “Oooh, we should get an ice cream sundae maybe later…or cream teas? Tea and scones?” She offered the options she spotted really they were just easy options. “I ugh lets do the tea! Because when was the last time we had a real scone and not some gross thing at school?” She offered her mouth watering at the idea of a chamomile tea and scones.

"And I want all that, Tori. I do." Paulie stretched his arms out on the table and took her hands, in spite of the fact that he was 99% sure she'd pull them away, if not now, then in a moment. "But I also wanna live out my dreams or whatever.. while I'm young and stuff. I really wanna do this." He wanted to go to raging parties, and see an American football game, and run around campus dressed as a superhero. And that all sounded kinda selfish. Everything was about him, and what he wanted to do. His head bowed, like a dog that had done wrong. It's a wonder that SHE hadn't split up with HIM by this point.
"What do you wanna do? If you could do anything right now, anywhere?" As in 'living out dreams, not 'pummeling Paulie for moving to Cali and breaking up with her.' "Did ya wanna come to America with me?" Even though he was very aware of her sentiments towards her home country, it was worth a shot.

Oakey took a small sip of the Pumpkin Juice, not bad. Ariana may have been overreacting with the whole epicness of the drink, but it was better than what Hogwarts was dishing out.
So guess what Puddifoot Pumpkin Juice, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! Oakey will work on his own recipe. Then Ariana would swoon over him more and less on a silly drink...If she wasn't staring at him the way she was now. He tried to see the yellow in her shirt, but still nothing. Maybe he was the color blind one? A Hufflepuff who couldn't see yellow, how sad.
Had she even heard him? "Ducks, um never mind.". She was staring at his face. "What were we talking about?" He took another sip of her Pumpkin Juice, and smiled. "Do you wanna go out and do something?"

No, it wasn't huh? meh, she didn't think it was as great as she was hyping it up to be thought it was a HUNDRED percent better then Hogwarts. regardless she was over reacting majorly. "eh, I know, not to die for, but better than the stuff at school." seriously like it tasted like it was made with moldy pumpkins and merlin knows that's never good. " you ok?" he seemed spaced out or something.. like whoa... oh ducks right. " sorry." she said frowning slightly and looking down, it wasn't her fault he was nice to lok at, really it wasn't. he took another sip ans she smiled " sure, what do you wanna do love?"

His eyes flicked back up to her green ones as she started speaking. "Thanks..." he whispered, trying not to stare at her hair and how smooth the skin on her neck looked. He leant forwards and reached around her neck, clasping the necklace closed. There. And since he was so close, he gave her a small kiss on her cheek before leaning backwards and whispering, "What do you think?" Since... it was her necklace and all.
Was she this excited about apple pie? GRIN. "You like apple pie?" ... "But apple pie sounds great! And... maybe... we should get something to drink as well?"
Her brain...it was officially not working and Ella just stared back into Alec's eyes, a smile ever-present on her face. She was vaguely aware of the fact that he was speaking but she had no idea what about. Instead she just nodded. Nodded and continued to smile. Yup. This wasn't weird at all. Oh and did she mention how nice it was when he touched his cheek like he was doing right now? It made her want to do that too...but she didn't. Nope. Not yet, anyway.
He was laughing at her, huh? Well then. "It's not nice to laugh at your girlfriend, Summers." She said quietly, trying very hard not to smile. She could only hold it back for a minute though before cracking a broad grin when he gasped. Giggle! "I did and I'd do it again so just be careful what you do, Alec." BEAM. She was rubbish at this making threats business but she wasn't against poking him lots. Especially when he insisted on making her turn red.
"Of course we can." Or at least she hoped they could visit lots. He wouldn't get sick of her if she did, right? "I plan to visit you lots. I mean..." And she paused, tucking a lock of blonde hair behind her ear. "If you're okay with that... And your Dad. He should be okay with it too." Y'know, since he owned the house and everything. Shuffle. The blonde's expression brightened considerably at what he said next and she looked down, grinning like an idiot. "I'm really glad."
"You should stop that, y'know." Ella whispered, eyes on his face. Yup. She saw where he was looking and he just needed to stop. doing. that. right. now. thank you. "You're welcome." Blush. The cheek kiss was really not nice and Ella's face was pink again, her eyes on the necklace now fastened around her neck. She smiled to herself, thinking how nice it was. The necklace. And this whole anniversary thing. It was just really nice. "I think it's beautiful." Ella whispered, continuing to eye the necklace thoughtfully. She glanced up eventually, tilting her head. "What do you think?"
"I love apple pie." Grin. "And other pie. And just food in general." She loved to eat too but that sort of went without saying. "Something to drink...um how about tea? Y'know, since we're here and everything." Ella could do tea and pie. That sounded awesome.
Ethan was happy that Hogsmeade was finally open so that he could take Minerva on a proper date. Not that he had a problem with a picnic by the lake or hanging out in the butterfly garden.. those locations made for great moments as well.. but he really wanted to treat her and take her out. So, on that particular date, he dressed in one of his nicest outfits, picked up his girlfriend outside her common room, and walked with her to the little town outside Hogwarts.
He had chosen Madame Puddifoot's for their date, though he didn't know much about the place other than it was a tea shop. But it seemed a bit cozier than the Three Broomsticks and he knew Minerva liked tea anyway, so it seemed like the most suitable place the town had. Once they arrived, he held open the door for her and followed inside. Apparently this was the place to go for a date as he saw several couples he knew inside and he gave a few people a friendly nod before choosing a table a little out of the way. Not that he was trying to be rude or anything, but he wanted some alone time with his girl.. conversation with others could wait. "Is this table alright?" he asked Minerva as he pulled her chair out and waited for her to sit down.

"Is this table alright?" he asked Minerva as he pulled her chair out and waited for her to sit down.
Minerva was thrilled to be going out of the castle and even more thrilled to be spending the time with Ethan. She couldn't get over how nice he looked when he picked her up, looping her arm around his as they made there way to their destination. She wasn't even really sure where they were going until he opened the door to Madam Puddifoot's. She had never actually been inside of this place, but had heard it was nice, she didn't care at all, what she cared about was being with Ethan.
Smiling as he held the door for her she waited until he was next to her again. Oh look there were others here as well, well of course there would be. She smiled at a few, and gave a bigger wave to Ariana and tried to smile [s]not glare[/b] at Oakey. Then she turned her focus back to Ethan as he asked a question. "Oh this looks like a great place." She kissed his cheek before sitting down. Such a gentleman he was, she was such a lucky girl.
Waiting until he was sitting, she smiled at him "Ethan, you look so nice today. Not that you don't always, but your outfit is very cute." Was cute even the right word, she really didn't think so, she felt she should have said handsome maybe, whatever it was he was looking super hot and she just smiled knowing he was with her.

Ethan smiled as Minerva kissed his cheek, then went over to take his own seat after she had sat down. His smile grew even wider as he looked at her across from him. "Well, thank you," he said, really glad they had made some time for this and come here today. "We don't get the chance to do this often so I thought I should wear something nice.." His eyes fell over her as he took a moment to take in her appearance. "You look really beautiful as well." Breathtaking to him, as always, really.. but he wasn't sure he had ever seen that outfit on her.
He glanced down at the table and picked up one of the menus laying there. "I've never actually been here before.. have you?" He looked up at her with a questioning look. Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to take a girl on a date to somewhere you weren't familiar? But his choices had been limited and he had heard this place was fairly nice, so he thought it would be alright. His eyes turned back to the menu in hand, scanning the contents, before looking up at her. "So.. are you hungry? What are you in the mood for?" Or better question, what looked good from the menu?

"Oh thank you. I felt the same way about looking nice." She smiled at him, the heels probably not such a great idea for the walk, but oh well it was nice to be a little taller next to him. Crossing her legs she looked around, "No I actually have never been here, it seems nice though." A great place to get away and have an actual date, but Min knew that anywhere she went with him would have been a perfect place.
Picking up the menu Minerva began to see what all they had. "Oh well umm.." she wasn't really sure what to get, of course the sweets all seemed good for her. Looking back up to Ethan she gave a smile, "I don't know the Bacon Buttie and maybe a piece of the cheesecake sounds good. What do you think?" She looked up at Ethan wondering if he saw anything on the menu he would like.
Setting down the menu a thought crossed her mind, "Hey E, I know it's still early and stuff, but do you know the plan for winter break? I got an owl from my grandmother the other day wanting to know if they needed to send a ticket for me to go there or if I was staying at school." She wrinkled her nose, knowing the latter of the two would not be happening. The only time she had ever done that she was miserable the entire time.

She wrinkled her nose, knowing the latter of the two would not be happening. The only time she had ever done that she was miserable the entire time.
Ethan looked up from the menu and gave her a slightly distracted nod as he thought about what he wanted to eat. So she had not been here either.. well, he supposed they'd figure out together if the place was any good. But either way, he knew they'd have a good time just being together. His eyes fell back to the menu for a moment as he narrowed down his choices, then he looked back up at her as she mentioned what she might order. "That doesn't sound bad, actually.." he said, slowly nodding as he mulled over his own choices. "I'm thinking Sausage Roll and a piece of cheesecake actually sounds good to me too.. and a cup of coffee, of course," he said with a grin. And he only had one cup this morning so not too likely to be overly hyper from the caffeine.
He glanced around for any sign of the server, then turned back to Minerva as she spoke, tilting his head to listen curiously. "Oh.. um, I guess I just assumed you'd want to come with me over break again," he started a bit sheepishly. "I probably shouldn't assume though.. What did you want to do for winter break?" he asked as he sat the menu down on the table. "You're welcome to come to Germany with me and stay with my family." He knew his mother had already planned on an extra guest for the holidays. "But I'd understand if you wanted to spend it with your own family.." Though that week they spent apart over summer had been hard enough.. this was nearly two weeks.

“Oh, I was actually thinking about the sausage roll, why don’t I stick with the bacon one you get the sausage and we can try a bite of each other’s if we want.” Smiling, well it was just a thought, but could be interesting. Shaking her head she laughed, him and his coffee. “I think you worse with coffee then I am with my pop, but I’ll just have some tea.” and they both were going to get the cheesecake, well it did sound good, so why not. She saw him looking around, well the server would most likely be around soon anyway.
She couldn’t help but chuckle, “No it’s okay to assume, I know I discussed it with your mom over the summer, but wasn’t completely sure so I thought I’d ask.” She loved being around his family it was nice to see a normal family especially during the holidays, plus she secretly tried to avoid being with her grandparents, it wasn’t that she didn’t’ love them, but it was just being there reminded her of when they would go there when she was a lot younger. ”If it’s alright, I’d rather come with you anyway. They don’t have the money for an extra plane ticket. Once a year is a lot to ask them, so I don’t want to force them two more times.” She frowned a bit, “I just feel like I’m intruding a bit, holidays are for family, I’m never giving you time with just your family.” She hated feeling like the charity case, hence the reason she did stay at school the one year.
The sound had erupted from her before she could even think about stopping it. That familiar giggly noise – it wasn’t familiar to her except for the fact whenever anyone tickled her or poked her rib the noise happened. To muggles though and muggle borns it was far more familiar. The nostalgic sound of a white two-inch tall dough based logo.
“No, no, no, stop pleaaaase” she had giggled when he poked her in the ribs. After that she just gave him a face when he said her voice had dropped nicely. “Seriously? My voice didn’t drop if it did I’d have one of those” she said as she pointed at his throat and that triangular thing jutting out of it. Really. “Those things…they make me think of those reflex testers muggle doctors use on kids,” she said with a laugh.
My bum? She snorted and laughed at the word. “Silly, I was saying but and um…didn’t mean to say that” she’d just never talk about that nope. Never. “Oh that’s…” she stopped herself as he opened the door for her and pulled the seat out for her. Wait, was this a date? But he had said it wasn’t girly. “Oh, um…thank you” she smiled over to him.
“Oooh…” she thought as she glanced at the list. “I um…chamomile sounds good, its calming” she added with a nod. That would be perfect for the idea of doing a reading right? Perfect. “W-what are you getting?” She asked as she nervously glanced at the table in front of her and stared at her fork. “You know sporks are weird” she ended up nervously muttering to her friend. “I mean…they make more sense then knorks because knorks can cut your mouth” yep she was blabbering and muttering weird things. “Oooh, we should get an ice cream sundae maybe later…or cream teas? Tea and scones?” She offered the options she spotted really they were just easy options. “I ugh lets do the tea! Because when was the last time we had a real scone and not some gross thing at school?” She offered her mouth watering at the idea of a chamomile tea and scones.
When she made that noise, all Kaiden could do was laugh at his friend. "But you do have one." He said pointing to her throat. Yep. "You talk all like this." he said in an exaggerated deep voice. "And why does it make you think of that?" He said, still using the voice.
"Oh" he said frowning, and turning in a circle like a dog, trying to look at his bum. "I thought you said it was girly" That would be bad right?
When she thanked him from holding the door open for her and pushing her seat in and all that, He patted her on the yeah. "You're welcome." He was supposed to do that too right? Be nice and stuff?
IT was calming? "Maybe you should have that all the time." He said giving her a grin. Since she was such a jitterbug and all. He gazed around the place real quick, seeing what others had. What he saw though wasn't the food. There wasn't a whole lot of people here, they all seemed to be dating sort of people. This was... weird... "I think... I'll get the same thing." he said, now that he was feeling all nervous.
Wait, sporks? That was random. "I don't know, I think they're cool. I don't know wat that Knork thinks is though." He watched her go off, and found her amusing and cute as always. "Oh, well, I don't know what cream tea is, but Ice cream sounds good... Maybe after though?" Cold and hot didn't seem to go well together. "Yeah, I know what you mean. So Tea and Scones, and some of those sandwiches?" he asked. Because he wanted food, good food that didn't come from Hogwarts. Shifting awkwardly, he slid his foot further under the table. Not with any intention, just trying to not feel so weird about being here.

Ethan nodded, thinking over Minerva's suggestion. "Sure, that's a good idea.. I don't mind sharing and I wouldn't mind trying some of yours, too, I think.." He had bacon sandwiches before, but he was interested in trying the ones here too. Not a bad idea to see what they might like for next time. He tilted his head, looking at her curiously as she laughed. "Worse..?" He chuckled along with her. "I don't know about that.. I think if it was more available here, you'd be just as bad," he said with a wink before giving the menu a quick glance. No.. he didn't really think there would be Diet Coke on the menu. Tea was probably a good choice then. "Ready to order then?" he looked at her before glancing around again for the server. It seemed like their minds were made up anyway..
He gave her a somewhat wide smile at her words. "Well, I'd really like you to stay with us again if you'd like that too." It really did make the holidays special to have her with him, he didn't want to think about what it would be like otherwise. Then he nodded as she gave an explanation about her grandparents. "Oh, right.. I understand that.. You don't think they'll mind if you come with me though?" He didn't want to take her away from her family if they wanted her there.. but he was feeling a bit selfish too for wanting her to himself. He shook his head at her next words. "Don't feel that way, you aren't intruding.. I want you to be there.. and I know my parents would love to have you again." He placed his hand over top hers and gave her a smile, hoping she knew that he really meant those words. SHe was just that big a part of his life now that he wanted to share the olidays with her.. but he would understand if she decided to spend them with her grandparents.
"And speaking of Christmas.." he started with a grin. "It actually is coming up pretty soon.." It was already the first of November.. it would be a matter of weeks before they were leaving for break. "I do need some ideas for gifts, you know.." he added with a wink. "Not to mention someone's birthday is coming up.." So yeah, lots of ideas, please.. He had some planning to do.

Mika just chuckled when Kaiden joked with her. They were always joking like this. “Oh very funny” she just lowered her eyelids at him in a half glare. It was a playful little glare-thing. “I don’t know maybe the shape of it?” She asked with a shrug of her shoulder as she continued to glance over the menu and began to wiggle her feet nervously.
She knew there were other Hogwarts students on dates and this would probably be misconstrued and be the latest Hogwarts gossip. That crazy Ravenclaw and that Hufflepuff chaser…on a date…but it wasn’t a date. He had said that when she asked him about it being a girly place. But it was girly – and everyone else there was doing girly things like hand holding, staring deeply into each other’s eyes, and something else that meant they had to lean forward and stare into each other’s eyes.
She felt her hands sweat as she thought of it. Dates. She wasn’t a date person. She was a go explode fireworks over the lake at night and run off and hide and watch the staff try and find the culprits in confusion person. She bit her lip as she glanced up at the counter signaling to the staff that yeah they were ready to order. Because tea and scones and some little sandwich things sounded like a good food idea. Anything not found at Hogwarts was good.
“Hey no fair!” She frowned at her friend before laughing some more when he commented about the sporks and knorks. She was still confused as to why he had patted her. She was not a dog. Dogs got pets girls didn’t. SO yes, she might have been somewhat glaring at him. “It’s a knife and a fork – we had to use them last year while traveling” she muttered as she glanced at the table. “Well…they do have ice cream at school? We could raid the kitchens tonight?” She offered with a shrug of her shoulder. “Yeah cream tea with cucumber sandwiches and scones” she beamed at the idea. CUCUMBER SANDWICHES WERE THE BEST.
“So tea it is then…and I’m not going to drink chamomile tea all the time but its better than catnip tea.”

Minerva was glad he didn’t think the sharing thing was to odd. It didn’t bother her, but she knew some that would have been freaked out by the suggestion. Which she thought they were the ones that were weird. Laughing she shook her head, “No.. you are still more into that coffee then I am to the diet coke.” Still laughing she knew she was wrong, he was very much so right. If they had it here she would be horrible with it, but since she could only have it when she really needed it from her stash in her room, she was able to not go overboard. “It’s just my summer thing, that’s all. School It’s tea and hot chocolate that get me through.” Nodding her head she was ready to order and looked around to see if the server could take the order. The place was a bit busy, but it wouldn’t be a problem waiting, that was just more time for them.
A warm smile crossed her face as he said he would like her to be with him. She hardly ever wanted to be away from him, so knowing he felt the same made her happy. Minerva shook her head and frowned a bit, she could lie and say no, but that wasn’t her, she never lied. Giving a little sigh, she looked at the table, “No they would probably love if I was there, but they understand why I don’t go.” She moved in her seat a bit, “I loved Christmas it was one of our favorites; we use to go to their house when we lived in the States. The last Christmas I spent with them was the year before I started Hogwarts.” She played with a fork from the table, she hadn’t really explained to anyone why she stayed away from her grandparents, she just always used their lack of money for an excuse, because it wasn’t really a lie, they really couldn’t afford all the plane tickets all the time, but it was just half the reason she didn’t go. “I guess I just have avoided it for that reason, I want to just keep the thought of there with my parents. “ She looked up at him with an apologetic look. “Sorry, didn’t mean to get all down discussion on you..” She didn’t want to ruin their date with a depressing story, way to be Minerva, number one person to ruin a good time.
She gave a small smile to him saying his parents would like her there, she was always afraid they would start to get annoyed that she was there. “I just feel bad. Since I’ve come around, they don’t just get you alone anymore. I know they probably want the family time with just you three.” She hated feeling like the charity case, she started hating holidays for that reason a few years ago. She fell silent for awhile still fidgeting with the fork until she heard him speak again and she looked up, “Oh E.. I don’t know.” She was never good at giving ideas, she felt awkward doing it, she was the girl that told Santa that anything would be fine. “I could be saying the same to you, I need some ideas as well.” She smiled knowing she just turned the question a bit. Then a thought crossed her mind, “Do you think while were on break I’ll have time to get the butterfly and Lily I told you about? Your still going to go with me when I get it done, right?” Min wasn’t going to lie, she was terrified to get a tattoo, but really did want to get this. “I’m thinking about getting the butterfly bewitched, I read about them and they sound really neat.” She wondered what his thoughts would be to that.
Mika just chuckled when Kaiden joked with her. They were always joking like this. “Oh very funny” she just lowered her eyelids at him in a half glare. It was a playful little glare-thing. “I don’t know maybe the shape of it?” She asked with a shrug of her shoulder as she continued to glance over the menu and began to wiggle her feet nervously.
She knew there were other Hogwarts students on dates and this would probably be misconstrued and be the latest Hogwarts gossip. That crazy Ravenclaw and that Hufflepuff chaser…on a date…but it wasn’t a date. He had said that when she asked him about it being a girly place. But it was girly – and everyone else there was doing girly things like hand holding, staring deeply into each other’s eyes, and something else that meant they had to lean forward and stare into each other’s eyes.
She felt her hands sweat as she thought of it. Dates. She wasn’t a date person. She was a go explode fireworks over the lake at night and run off and hide and watch the staff try and find the culprits in confusion person. She bit her lip as she glanced up at the counter signaling to the staff that yeah they were ready to order. Because tea and scones and some little sandwich things sounded like a good food idea. Anything not found at Hogwarts was good.
“Hey no fair!” She frowned at her friend before laughing some more when he commented about the sporks and knorks. She was still confused as to why he had patted her. She was not a dog. Dogs got pets girls didn’t. SO yes, she might have been somewhat glaring at him. “It’s a knife and a fork – we had to use them last year while traveling” she muttered as she glanced at the table. “Well…they do have ice cream at school? We could raid the kitchens tonight?” She offered with a shrug of her shoulder. “Yeah cream tea with cucumber sandwiches and scones” she beamed at the idea. CUCUMBER SANDWICHES WERE THE BEST.
“So tea it is then…and I’m not going to drink chamomile tea all the time but its better than catnip tea.”
"Hey, I AM funny." he said poking the girl again. "Hilarious even. We both are." HE grinned at her, and wanted to pet her soft hair. It was all pretty. "So it looks like a hammer?" he said poking his own adam's apple. "Thats new. Yours is all pretty... small though" It was all little and stuff.
Kaiden notice Miks glance around the room, just as he had done. Yeah... weird. This wasn't a date was it? What had Seeker and Odessa said about Asking someone out and dating and things? He glanced back over at Seeker and rubbed the back of his neck. Advice. He needed it.
Resting his arms on the table, he frowned at the girl before him. "That doesn't sound like fun. You didn't cut yourself did you?" he asked reaching over the small little table to poke her cheek. "Oh, yeah, we should do that with the ice cream. That'd be fun." They should do lots of fun things. and sneak and stuff. "You can have cucumbers, I want something with meat." Meat was good. "Doesn't chamomile make you sleepy?" he asked, moving his foot once more, accidentally brushing his foot against hers under the table.

She just rolled her eyes and squirmed away from him as he tried to poke her. She wasn’t a fan of poking. “Stop with the poking, enough poking” she was nervous stressed and well…the poking made her get all-weird. She didn’t like that sound it made her do.
“Oh I” she half laughed when he poked her cheek. “I didn’t get hurt, nope not at all” she nodded. “We had the smart kind of them, they were just camping utensils – so attached but actually separate other than the spork being one thing?” And why were they still talking about sporks?
Oh right. She had babbled, that was where sporky had come from. And that was where sporky should have staid. In her mind just sitting there collecting dust with all her other crazy topics to bring up when she was feeling awkward.
“Okay you get meat then” she nodded a she glanced around the room. “and – oh. I um.” She felt her cheeks go bright and her eyes grow wider. “Is that what? Really? Me…he thought...you” She had realized suddenly what had happened days before in classes.
He had been…with Mo? All of a sudden her face broke into a giant array of smiles and laughter as she began to break down into a fit of almost uncontrollable laughter. “I’m sorry I just I can’t not laugh” she squeaked through a fit of giggles.

Minerva was glad he didn’t think the sharing thing was to odd. It didn’t bother her, but she knew some that would have been freaked out by the suggestion. Which she thought they were the ones that were weird. Laughing she shook her head, “No.. you are still more into that coffee then I am to the diet coke.” Still laughing she knew she was wrong, he was very much so right. If they had it here she would be horrible with it, but since she could only have it when she really needed it from her stash in her room, she was able to not go overboard. “It’s just my summer thing, that’s all. School It’s tea and hot chocolate that get me through.” Nodding her head she was ready to order and looked around to see if the server could take the order. The place was a bit busy, but it wouldn’t be a problem waiting, that was just more time for them.
A warm smile crossed her face as he said he would like her to be with him. She hardly ever wanted to be away from him, so knowing he felt the same made her happy.

Ethan gave Minerva a very amused smirk as she began laughing. Who was she kidding? He knew the truth.. She loved her pop as least as much as he loved his coffee. "If you say so," he said with a grin and chuckle. "Though the hot chocolate is nice for snuggling by the fireplace too.." He didn't mind hot chocolate at all, especially in that context.. he just preferred his coffee in the morning.. couldn't seem to wake up without it.
He tilted his head, watching her a bit curiously as she first smiled then frowned and looked down at the table. Had he said something wrong? Oh.. he listened to her words, trying to understand what it must feel like and tried to relate it to spending a special time at his own grandfather's house now that he was no longer there. He knew it wasn't the same, but he had a small idea of what she might feel like. "That's understandable," he said with a small smile. "You want to preserve those memories.. I get that.." He looked down at the table for a moment, then put his hand over hers before looking back up, smiling as she apologized. "No need to be sorry, we're just talking. I'm glad you feel like you can talk to me about things like that," he said with a shrug as he glanced down at their hands. "You can enjoy that family time with us though.." Did that sound weird? He hoped it didn't come out the wrong way, he just liked sharing that part of him with her and he was fairly sure his parents liked having more people over to celebrate with.
He looked at her expectantly with a little smile, hoping for some ideas.. nothing? "Come on, I need something to go on," he started with a chuckle. "I just want to get you something you'll like.." Of course, maybe a surprise was the way to go? There was just something about that too.. maybe it would be better that way. "Fair enough," he said when she turned the question on him. He didn't exactly know what he wanted either.. he'd have to think on that maybe, because he knew his parents would be asking the same thing. He listened as she talked about her tattoo idea again, nodding a bit. "Sure, I think we'll have time if you still want to get it done then. And of course I'll go with you," he added with a smile. He had been happy to have her support with him when he had gotten his, the least he would do was return the favor. "Oh..? That sounds pretty interesting.. I've heard of those.." Not that he knew anyone personally who had gotten a charmed tattoo.. or at least that he could think of.. but they sounded pretty cool.
