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.

Thinking about grey was a very dangerous subject because all it did was get you depressed. Nigel was still stubborn enough not to put any magic in his hair or use any potions. Nope, not going to happen. But enough about that. It was warm and she was finally here. Not that he was waiting long or anything. And three different ways of saying hello. Three is a magic number or was that seven. Anyway still awesome.
"You look great and I am going to make you try pickle cereal eventually. It is better than you think"
Yes, he knew that was basically a lost cause. But it will be fun to at least try.
"Thanks." She beamed at the compliment, resisting the urge to flip her hair or something like that. Blue slid into an empty chair, shrugging off her cardigan. "You look really nice too."
Pickle cereal. Was he really still going on about that? Even the mere idea was gross. "Yeaaaaaah, not happening sorry. It's superbly gross, Nigel. I can one hundred percent guarantee you it's a quaffle blocker too. I won't be kissing you if you go near that stuff today."
Pickle cereal was bad enough. Pickle breath? She was not subjecting herself to that, no way. A dementor had a better chance of snogging her.

There was only one thing that could possibly have put a damper on ever eating pickle cereal again and she just said. Nigel could not help but laugh at that and the term quaffle blocker. Such a great term. Like the word shenanigans.
"Oh come on now, It is not that bad." Oh Boy. He hit a nerve there or something "Even if i brush my teeth after eating it.......Okay, Okay. Just Kidding"
Guess this is the end of that for Nigel. Kissing was leaps and bounds more important than pickle cereal. "Do you want a butterbeer?"

"Same. It'll be nice to be able to go outside without feeling like an icicle." And even though she had been inside for a bit now, she still felt quite chilly. Surely she'd warm up eventually, right? Gosh this was annoying. As for the future and her being excited, Ella nodded distractedly. "Yeah, it's exciting but...weird too. I can't imagine not being at Hogwarts. It's home now. Just as much as my house in London." And she'd miss it lots. The people too. It was going to be hard when it came time to say goodbye. Talk of Hot chocolate made her feel better, though. "Yeah, sounds perfect." Anything to take her mind off of graduating and old age.
"My knees do. My back too. It's so strange." And it made Ella worry for lots of reasons but the biggest being Quidditch. "I'm just afraid that if I take a bludger hit, I won't be able to keep playing, y'know?" Quidditch, it was a priority. "I just wish...I wish someone would do something about it." Surely the adults had noticed the condition of the students by now.
Delilah nodded in a agreement. She rubbed her hands together before burying her face in them for a moment.. That felt good. She didn't understand, though. How was she still cold!? This crazy weather. "I guess I understand. You've been in Hogwarts since the first year?" That's so cool, though. She kind of wished she'd joined Hogwarts sooner. Not that she didn't like her schooling back in Florida but.. she loved her new school too. It was great.
The silly disease. "Yeah..." Delilah frowned. "I mean, almost everyone is suffering from the old age symptoms.. and I don't understand why nothing is being done about it."
Okay.. Two hot chocolates. The girl got up before walking over to the counter and ordering two hot chocolates.
.. Soon, she walked back to her table carrying two mugs of the steaming hot drink. "Here you go." Delilah placed one in front of Ella before she sat down, setting down her mug on the table too.

Jun sometimes got in trouble for talking Korean around his Norwegian side of the family. But they eventually got use to it. And they better have. "Sometimes the effort is worth it, if you really want to learn," True that.
"Uh, yeah. Would you like a butterbeer?" Or maybe something else? People usually got butterbeers here anyway.
"I like the annoying idea," She grinned that thinking that she, too, would be really annoyed if someone spoke in a language she didn't understand. But when she was the one doing it, it certainly would be lots of fun. She nodded at his words in agreement. Ravenclaw effort always made sense.
Did she want a butterbeer? She paused thinking of the options she had. "I think I'll go with Hot Cocoa." She decided. "It's a bit chilly for me," She was one to feel extremely cold all winter and spring. Especially her hands which she shoved into her jacket's pockets. She was glad she didn't catch whatever the other aging students caught, though. Since elderly people got cold even more as she knew. Speaking of, was Jun one of those people? She could tell as he sat maybe if she saw him walking or something. And it'd sound a bit rude to ask him... she wouldn't even know what to ask, anyway.

"It's the best way to make people leave you alone. It's funnier when you yell at them but you're actually saying something silly like 'the sky is blue'," Midget had witnessed it when she threw her empty cup of ice cream dying Christmas break. He had apologized, but in reality Jun had just said 'Sour gummy worms are gross!' It was all fun of course. Except to adults who don't really find anything funny. Uptight people they were. Sheesh.
He nodded. Jun preferred cold drinks. In the summer or in winter. Except if he was really cold then he'd get coffee which his parents never understood. He joked to them about being manly, so he'd drink coffee. With a lot of sugar. Tea, ehh, that was whenver he'd be eating something. Coffee was like a meal to him. "Not a big fan of hot drinks. Depends how I'm feeling that day," And that was it. Everything depended on his mood. Like hitting his cousin with a pan over the break. That was him in a bad mood. Maybe a bit devious too but still, it was bad.

"Well you would know." About how big his mouth was. Hehehehehehe
Right. One butterbeer with two straws. Got it. Michael flashed her a grin while she went off to the table and he turned towards the bar. And since it was there first date, he not only ordered the butterbeer with two straws, he also got them some macaroni and cheese with TWO forks.
When the order was done, Michael carried them over to the table that Zahra was sitting at. "Your order Madame." He placed the food and drink on the table before giving a little bow.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! Mac and CHEESE!" Zahra offered Mikey a high five for THAT foresight. She would need food and junk for a date. In fact, she forgot the fork and went for a cheesey piece with her fingers. It was already in her mouth before it occurred to her that maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe she should use a fork. Errrrm..... Z paused, eyed Mikey with the cheese in her mouth...
....nah.
Instead she fished HIM a piece out with her fingers and offered it to him? Bite?
"This was a good choice for EATING and for a food fight starter." Really it was. Mikey was so smart when he wanted to be.

He slapped her hand with his before sitting down opposite her with a grin on his face. See, he knew what he was doing. This dating thing was a piece of cake.
Seeing the mac and cheese covered fingers held out for him, Michael didn't even hesitate to open his mouth and take it from her. It wasn't the first time they had shared food in this fashion.
"Genius, right? I should have been a Ravenclaw."
SNORT.
He picked up the bottle of butterbeer and popped the top off before dropping two straws in the top. "I told the barkeep to give us those bendy straws." That way they could place the bottle between them. He gestured for Zahra to take a sip.

Although, considering the only other place she'd seen was a Madame Puddifoots she could see why. She liked pink and frills and stuff but that place had seemed to go overboard with it. And that was just from peeking inside when another couple had gone in. "I could probably do a couple of weeks, although that would more likely be towards the end of the Summer. If I'm lucky I could be back in England for a month before school," Ana replied. Her mum was much more likely to agree the closer it was to school starting back again. Because that way she'd have seen most of her family members and spent a decent amount of time with people.
Brownies and shortbread. That sounded delicious. If she couldn't think of anything else she wanted she'd definitely go with that. Hopefully both of those things were easy to make though. Because if it was too difficult she might stuff up and she didn't want to serve her friends bad food. "I'm sure they will. Well Lux will at least," they were likely to have delicious cucumber sandwiches, among other things.
"Yeah, that was fine," Ana murmured as the heat began to leave her cheeks. It was slightly embarrassing that such a simple action had made her blush when she'd kissed Terry on the cheek several times before. Although that might be slightly different since at least the first time she really hadn't thought about what she was doing before she did it. She was lucky that he hadn't seemed to mind.
"Speak for yourself, I clearly only look three times my age," Ana declared jokingly. She still wasn't happy about looking old but she couldn't much help that. It was just lucky that she hadn't put Terry off with her rapid ageing. She was happy to note that even looking older he was handsome. "But yes, even with whatever's going on with our ageing, I still want to be your girlfriend," Ana added, tone a lot more serious than it was just moments ago. She wasn't one to take relationships lightly and she didn't want Terry to think that she was. Although she did smile back at him when he laughed. She was taking it to be a happy one, maybe a bit relieved as well. It had taken guts to ask her out when he couldn't have known for certain she'd say yes.
“It’s an offer, if you want to get back to England for a bit” he added casually. “Don’t think you have to but its there if you want it.” You know, some people liked to stay with their family fir ages. Others liked to get away. Terry got along well with his mum but his sister could be a little too much sometimes. He was thankful his twin went to another school. “Would you live with your cousin for that month then?” he asked with his new found knowledge that her cousin was a permanent resident here now.
He smiled, glad that someone else would join in with the work so he wouldn’t have to do it all by himself. He didn’t know Ana’s friends after all. And then was her almost embarrassed mumble as her cheeks returned to their normal colour. The Slytherin couldn’t help but to smile at her actions. ”Good.” Because it would’ve been slightly awkward otherwise.
A smirk fell on the sixth years face at her comment. ”I haven’t got it as bad as some people have but I really think my eyesight was going.” Luckily he had contacted his mum who sent some contacts for temporary relief. He hoped that it wouldn’t be a permanent thing, his eyesight had always been perfect after all. ”I still think you look pretty anyway.” She did and you could still tell who everyone was, despite this crazy ageing business. Was anyone actually sorting this out? A professional perhaps? Surely it was obvious what was going on now, heck even some of the professors had the same problem.
He slapped her hand with his before sitting down opposite her with a grin on his face. See, he knew what he was doing. This dating thing was a piece of cake.

Zahra LAUGHED OUT LOUD, mouth open and mac and cheese exposed at MIKEY. Mikey the RAVENCLAW. HAHAHA. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT. "You gotta admit though.... we WERE pretty smart in TELLING the Sorting Hat where we belonged. We really ARE Gryffindors." And another thing? "I'm glad I waited on you." Even if it meant she was a little older in their year and junk.
But enough of that mushy truth stuff.ONTO BENDY STRAWS.
First she blew bubbles into the drink, then she took a swallow. "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM good. Too bad we can't burp on dates though.Or that's what Mum said. Oh and I told Mum about this. And Dad. And Ola. But not Cela or Plymmy or Copey." JUST so he knew.

"Yeah, since first year. I guess that's why I'm so attached." At this point, she spent more time at school than at home and so it really shouldn't be a surprise that she'd consider the place home, the people family. "It'll be a new adventure though, Uni. I just need to start wrapping my head around it." And around being away from certain people for longer periods of time but she'd sort it out...eventually.
Ella didn't understand either and she frowned slightly, just thinking about how out of hand everything had gotten. "Someone must be doing something by now. Maybe...we just won't hear about it until they've come up with some kind of solution." Maybe. It was hard to stay positive when you had trouble walking down the hallway each day but she was just going to channel Toby right now. Yeah.
It was nice of her to go and get the hot chocolate. The eighteen year old didn't protest as she'd finally gotten comfortable in her seat but she did fish around in her purse for some money. When she found the proper amount, she set it on the table and slid it slowly towards where her companion was sitting.
"Thanks for going to get it. Money's on the table." And Ella wrapped her hands around the mug, soaking up the warmth.

He knew she would find that funny. But he laughed as well because he knew that never in a million years would he be a Ravenclaw."We're totally Gryffindors, but we can be smart too." And he didn't think Ravenclaws were that smart anyway.
Mikey scooped some mac and cheese onto his fingers and then shoved it into his mouth. He was about to go in for a second dip but paused midway there. "I'm glad you waited on me too. It wouldn't have been the same without you." They were meant to do EVERYTHING together.
Seeing that Zahra was sipping on the straw, Michael leaned over and began slurping down some butterbeer as well. It was sooooo good. It was...
....
What?
She had told her parents? Mikey began spluttering on the butterbeer and some of it even came out of his nose. "And what did they say? What did your dad say?" That was the important question here because the man was the Minister for Magic.
Funny how that never seemed to mean anything to him. Until now.

Zahra flicked her tongue on the bendy straw, making it bounce up and down in the fizzy bottle. She agreed 100000000%. They WERE smart. AND COOL. Which is something some Ravenclaws lacked. They were smart and uncool. Like sometimes Cela and Copey Pants were. BUT AS A GRYFFINDOR, it was like BEST OF ALL THE WORLDS. Best House. Best Friend. THIS WAS THE BEST LIFE EVER.
"Yeah.... I mean... I knew you'd end up crying without me." Hahaha no, that had been Zahra. Hahaha shhh. She grinned because she knew he knew this.
HAHAHA "Toussaint! Don't blow boogs in our mac and cheese!" hahahaha not that that would really stop either of them from eating it. "I dunno? I just sent the letter today. I told him that we were BEST friends again and that he should send you money to pay for stuff and that he should be proud because we were both pretty good at kissing stuff and going to be together now." BEAM! She'd told Ola earlier, who helped her pick out a DRESS for the occasion.

Excitedly Lux walked in through the door before Louis. She really wanted some butterbeer, and to eat some of her sugar quills. If he was not careful, she would have his too as well as Bay's. Well, besides the vomit favoured one, because ewwww.
Making her was over to the closest table that was free, she took a seat and waited for her Squire to join her.

Time to look at the menu and decide what to eat.
Louis laughed lightly as Lux left him behind and almost nearly ran into the small pub. She was so adorable when she got excited. As the Hufflepuff went off to find a table, Louis headed in the direction of the bar. There, he ordered two warm butterbeers, a few chocolate chip cookies and some brownies. Once the bartender handed him his order, the boy made his way to the table where Lady Lux awaited.
“One butterbeer, three chocolate chip cookies, and two brownies for m’lady,” he announced as he placed the things on the table before taking a seat across from the girl. “What would you like to eat?” he asked. Y’know, besides the sugary snacks he got to accompany the butterbeer.

Lux's eyes widened as Louis came back not only with the butterbeers, but also some cookies and brownies. Goodness, he was an amazing Squire, and she was pleased to have him in her service. "Oh, I am so happy now." Sweets, butterbeer, and a meal. Yummy.
Looking at the menu, she tried to decide what she wanted before finally reaching a decision. "Macaroni and cheese!" She loved it, and hadn't had it in a while. Too bad cucumber sandwiches didn't seem to be on the menu, because she would have ordered some of those as well.

Louis beamed as Lady Lux expressed her approval. He was actually doing a decent job as a squire! Sniffle. It made him so happy.
It was then that the Lady of the House of Hufflepuff decided she wanted macaroni and cheese. "Good choice, m'lady," the boy approved with a nod of his head, taking a look at his own menu. He decided on some fish and chips for himself, but first he would finish his cookies and brownies. Yum. Once he was all out (which was like a minute later; he was a growing boy, food disappeared rather quickly for him), he disappeared for another moment to make his and Lux's order at the bar.
In less than a minute, the loyal squire had returned carrying two plates - one with macaroni and cheese, which he placed on Lux's side of the table, and the other with his fish and chips.
"I think I'm liking Hogwarts more and more each day," said Lou with a grin as he began to dig into his plate. "Do these Hogsmeade trips happen often?" 'Cause he totally was looking forward to the next one already.

Lux was pleased that her Squire approved of her choice of food, since macaroni and cheese was delicious. While Louis disappeared to take their orders, she contented herself with eating one of the cookies, deciding to save the rest for later on when she was back at school.
Yummy food was here.
With wide eyes, she watched him return with their food. "Thank you, Louis." He was so kind, taking her out to eat like this and ordering everything. She wondered if this is what a date was like. Picking up her spoon, she started to eat, waiting until she had swallowed her first mouthful to answer his question. "I'm not sure since I am new here, but I hope they happen at least once a year." Why hadn't she asked Willa about this? Her sister had gone to Hogwarts, so she would know.

Louis was happy to see the young girl seemed pleased with her food and treatment, shaking his head as she thanked him for the food. "No need to thank me, these are just squire duties," he replied with a grin, taking another bite from his food. He hadn't realized how hungry he really was until he started eating.
He listened as Lux explained that she was new too, so she didn't know about the Hogsmeade trips either. Oh, right. "I always forget you're new too," he said with a smile, shaking his head slightly. He wasn't sure why he always felt like Lux had been at Hogwarts longer than him. "Perhaps Bay would know. He's not new too, is he?" Now that he thought about it, he hadn't ever talked with his best mate about how long he'd been at Hogwarts. He'd always just sort of assumed Bay had been there for years. For all he knew, maybe he was new too!

Smiling, Lux took another bite of her food. It was yummy. "Is this what people do on dates?" It wasn't a question meant to make him feel awkward or anything, she was merely curious and remembering what Ana had told her about it recently. This girl was getting more and more curious about things the closer she got to becoming a teenager.
"Bay's new too. He was home schooled like me." It was a little surprising that Louis had not known that, since she assumed that Bay was closer to him now than he was to her. "You know... he was the first person I met coming to school. He bumped into me on the train." Then she had met Tessa and Christmas, and they had all sat down together in one of the compartments. It had been lovely.

At Lux’s question about dating, Louis found himself dropping the chip he was just about to eat. UM. Yeah, even though she hadn’t meant to make him feel awkward, he totally DID feel awkward. After all the kissing incidents, the last thing he wanted was for Lady Lux to think he was like hitting on her or something. He was just trying to be nice. “Uh…” He blinked and furrowed his brows, expression looking puzzled. “Well… to be honest, I don’t know. I’ve never been on a date,” he replied honestly, giving Lux a sheepish smile. He assumed a date must’ve been something like this, though. But a lot more awkward, since people on dates were usually a lot more shy around each other whereas he and Lux were perfectly comfortable.
At the girl’s explanation about Bay being homeschooled, Louis’s eyebrows raised in surprise. He hadn’t known that! Or that Lux was homeschooled too! “Wow. You really do learn something new every day…” he muttered, surprised, as he took a sip from his butterbeer. When Lux shared that Bay had been the first person she’d bumped into at the train, he smiled. “It was meant to be…” he paused, smiling fading abruptly. “Your uh, your friendship, I mean. What a lovely coincidence, to bump into each other…” AHEM. Right.

Oh, goodness. That was not the reaction she had been hoping for. "Oh, I don't think you want to date me or anything, Louis. It's fine." She suffered no delusions that he had a crush on her, and had no desire to be on a date with him. "I was just curious, and wondered if you knew since you are older..." So wait... he hadn't been on a date before? Somehow she had assumed he knew from experience, which was why she had asked the question in the first place. "Besides, you, Sander, and Bay have made what you think of me dating clear." Or whatever it was that had happened at the lake.
Seriously Louis had no idea that Bay was home schooled? That was... shocking. "I suppose so? That's an interesting way to put it. But yeah, he is one of my best friends now and I think he will be for a long time." Louis really could be rather odd sometimes.
Langen walked into the Three Broomsticks, keeping her head low. She wasn't sure what in the world she was doing, but the brunette wanted to stay hidden. She was working for the ministy now and didn't want to be seen in any kind of pubs. Actually, she just wanted some food.
She loved Pub food. It was probably way unhealthy... and that was the way Langen liked it. She ran like a mile every day, so it wasn't like she was keeping all of the food in her stomach. She worked it off. By the pure miracle of metabolism and running, she managed.
Anyway, Langen cracked her back once before sitting down in an empty booth and pulling down her striped marine style sweater so her stomach wouldn't show. Again, she wanted to uphold any ministry standards, even ones she set herself. After her top was adjusted properly, she picked up the menu card and bit her lip, thinking of what she wanted to order.
The food was actually healthier than a few Muggle pubs she set foot in and that made Lagen happy. Even though any extra pounds she gained wouldn't show that bad with her long torso, she still was a little health concious. She worked in the Games and Sports department for Merlin's sake!
But still, right now she wanted to stuff her face with something unhealthy. Probably a brownie. Because nom nom

Louis tried his best not to make it obvious how relieved he felt at hearing Lux’s words. Yeah, honestly, after all the misunderstandings in the past few weeks, he REALLY didn’t want things getting all mixed up yet again. He liked his life simple and predictable, thank you very much. At her following words about him, Sander and Bay making it clear what they thought about her dating, the boy’s smile faltered. Aww. “Right, well…” Yeah, he wasn’t sure what to say to that. He DID feel a little guilty for the way they had all acted since Lux’s new curiosity about kissing, but… it was for her well-being. Or at least they thought so.
“I’m sure he will be,” Lou agreed with a nod. “I think we’ll be good friends for a good while, too… at least I hope so,” he added with a small smile. Lux and Bay were some of the first friends he’d made at Hogwarts, and he’d grown a lot closer to them than he had ever expected. These were two friendships he hoped never to lose.

Thankfully he believed her and seemed to be a little less awkward. "And you know I don't have any feelings for you either." Despite having kissed him, the only way she saw him was like an older brother. Things would not be changing either, that much she was positive about. "It's funny now you boys disapprove, yet on the most part the girls I talk to are okay with it." Even if they did not exactly want her to grow up, they still gave her advice and let her know that it was okay to be curious at 12.
"I'm sure you will be too. You are best friends and all." Small smile. She hoped that she would stay close to her friends for a long time, even after she was done school. "When I become a professional Quidditch player, I am going to invite all my friends to see me play."

Louis put on a face of mock disappointment and pouted. "Awww, so you were only using me for kissing practice? And here I thought we had something special," he said playfully before laughing stupidly at his own joke. That was the great thing about his friendship with Lux, even with the awkward kissing they were still comfortable enough with each other to joke about it, to not let it become a taboo subject.
"Well... girls probably understand better than we do," said Louis thoughtfully when Lux explained how the other girls were more accepting of her new behaviour. At least he was mature enough to admit that much.
Now Lux was going on about becoming a professional Quidditch player and inviting her friends to see her play. At this, Lou raised his eyebrows. He hadn't known Lux was so passionate about the sport. "I hope you'll be giving us VIP tickets and let us take your picture too," he added with a playful grin. "Don't forget us simpletons when you're rich and famous!"
