The Three Broomsticks is the most well-known pub in the small village, which is why it is often rather crowded with students and adults alike. 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 the legendary three boomsticks, all fixed around a lantern to light the patrons' way. It certainly looks better kept than the Hog's Head down the street.
Once you enter the pub, the warmth of the large stone fireplace great you as you place hats and coats by the door. Directly in front 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; however, if you're early enough, you can bet your galleons that you'll be nice and toasty by the fire. To the left is the bar where the bartender waits to take your order.

"Why, thank you!" The blonde then took a seat on the chair Zorro had offered. It was comforting to finally catch up with a friend whom she hasn't found the chance to hang out with for sooo long! Not that Zorro was a stranger at all. Despite not seeing him much, he'd always be a good friend of hers. "Do you wanna get anything? It's pretty chilly outside." The blonde took off her beanie and then placed it beside her on the table.
"I've been great! Of course, with these Americans around, this year's pretty interesting so far especially that competition thing," she said, grinning. Vivian wasn't really into it, but she really hoped a Hogwartian won. Because... duh, obviously. "How about you, Zorro? How're you?" The fourth year could vividly remember that duel they had back in first year, which was nothing less than dramatic. Were they really fourth years now? Time flew too fast. They'd be taking OWLs next term, too!
Seeing Vivian skip-walking toward him made Fiyero smile, and that smile grew even bigger when she beamed at him. It was great seeing her again! Only when his friend was settled in the chair he'd pulled out for her did he take his seat again. "You're welcome," he said, but his expression changed a little bit when she asked if he was getting anything. He'd almost forgotten how hungry he was! "Yeah, I think I'll get a grilled turkey and cheese sandwich and a butterbeer," he said. Then an idea occurred to him. "You want anything? I'm buying." He took a few coins out of his pocket. Well, that was one good thing about having a grandma who was rolling in money...
"I'm good," Fiyero replied. "Been busy with studying and quidditch mostly..." There may not be house quidditch teams at Hogwarts anymore, but he wasn't going to let that stand in the way of his dream of being a professional quidditch player! He laughed a little when Vivian brought up the IMPS competition. He wasn't sure if "interesting" was the word he'd use to describe the Americans.Really he wasn't sure what to make of them yet! "Yeah," he agreed. "Shame you missed the dance party at the Gryffindor table, though. That was wild!" Honestly he thought Headmistress Hawthorne would get angry and turn that guy with the boombox into a toad! He sighed. "I wish we were allowed to enter the contest," he said. "Seriously, couldn't they have waited one more year to hold this IMPS thing? Well, I guess it could be worse... at least Killian wasn't picked as the Gryffindor champion. He'd never shut up about if if he was!" Though to be fair, his older cousin never shut up about not getting picked either!

She shivered but immediately brightened up at the warmth she felt when she stepped into The Three Broomsticks. "Thank goodness, by Belle's love for books, for the warm of The Three Broomsticks.'' Being bundled up (in mostly pink attire) still hadn't helped to keep her shivers at bay.
She was passing one of the Ilvermorny champions when she heard her say 'butterbeer'. The fifth year paused beside Valerie. "It's one of our most popular drinks. It tastes like butterscotch so it's very delicious. I highly encourage you to try it.'' Rachel hoped Valerie hadn't mind her giving an opinion. She was simply trying to be helpful.
Butterscotch.
The flavor reminded her more of the elderly than it did any sort of beverage a sixteen year old would want to try. But when in Rome...
"I will then," she nodded decidedly. Although she was still unsure about whether or not she would find the flavor appealing to her palate. "I have never even heard of it before." Her eyes continued to look over the menu and when nothing further leaped out at her as being particularly peculiar she looked back at the younger girl. "Is there anything else on the menu here that is considered a British signature?"

FOOD! Well, usually Vivian took a while to decide on what to eat. She was a hundred percent sure, having spent a couple of Hogsmeade weekends here in the Three Broomsticks. She always came here for some hot cocoa, but she decided against the idea because she wanted to try something different now. She wasn't going to spend all her years in Hogwarts just sipping hot cocoa in one pub now, right? "I think I'll have a butterbeer too... and macaroni and cheese," the blonde replied. As for the 'I'm buying' part, Vivian blinked. Was he really? "Uh... you don't have to." Her dad had given her extra coins for the weekend. When people usually paid for her meal, it was either a special occasion like her birthday or a family get-together... and today was none of those. This was foreign territory, hmm.
And Zorro was... studying?! She understood that OWLs were next year but, was he really hitting the books this early? "Well, don't overwork yourself!" Vivian said, more of a tease than a demand. And Vivian thought her mother was intense. Of course, Zorro was her friend and so she had to support what he wanted to do. "A dance party? At the Gryffindor table?" LOL, Vivian would've came had she known! Her dad, being a former Gryffindor himself, would have absolutely loved the idea. As for the IMPS... "I know. Some of my dorm mates really wanted to enter. Too bad we only fell short of one year. Like... ONE year." The blonde wasn't sure if she would've joined, to be honest. It wasn't her thing to join academic competitions but if one of her friends actually competed, she would definitely be watching. No doubt. "I would've been the Hogwarts cheerleader if you or any of my dorm mates were able to compete." That's what friends were for!

Hadley yawned as she entered. This whole term was kicking her butt, and it was starting to show. Long hours animagus training, supporting her school mates in the IMPS thing, studying for O.W.L.s. Classes. Homework. Trying to have a social life.
She was exhausted.
Scanning the place for her cousin, Hads nodded to herself when she spotted her, and instead made a beeline for the ordering station. Once she had an order of Mac and Cheese and hot cocoa placed, she made her way over to Mel, plopped down next to her, and put her head down, buried in her arms on the table.
After a second, by way of greeting, she tilted her head enough for one eye to peek over the nook of her elbow, and raised her eyebrow inquisitively. Finally she sat back up, settled into her chair and said, "I'm tired."
Someone was tired, Mel noted as Hadley made her way into the Three Broomsticks looking worse for ware. Hadley was training to be an animagus after all and that took a lot of energy…it wasn’t like she was late or anything Melbourne had after all asked her to join her and hadn’t exactly set up a time for their meeting.
”I can see that” she remarked with a small half smile as Hads mentioned her apparent lack of energy. ”I’m a bit tired too…and sore, I fell the other day on the d a t e“ she whispered a little too loudly so others might have heard but it wasn’t a secret. She had, there was even a small bruise on her bum to prove it.
Stupid booth.
Stupid clumsiness.

"I would've been the Hogwarts cheerleader if you or any of my dorm mates were able to compete." That's what friends were for!
Fiyero waited patiently for Vivian to decide what she wanted. He smiled. "Got it, a butterbeer and mac and cheese, coming right up!" he said with a playful salute. The blinking didn't escape his notice and he wondered if he'd done something wrong by offering to buy. Oh well, she was probably just surprised. "Then I'll just hang on to my money," he said, laughing a little. "Kidding, just kidding! I don't mind doing it. I'll just go and order then..."
He went to place the order and was back with their food a few minutes later, just in time to hear Vivian telling him not to overwork himself. He laughed. "I'll try not to!" he said as he put the dishes down on the table. "So there's a mac and cheese and a butterbeer for you, and for dessert..." He pulled a chocolate chip cookie out from behind his back and handed it to her. He was enjoying his meal when she asked about the dance part at the Gryffindor table. "Yeah, the night the Ilvermorny people got here," he said. "One of them had a boom box, and there was lots of noise and dancing and... frankly, I'm surprised Hawthorne didn't have a heart attack from all the fun!"
Then the subject turned to the IMPS competition. "Tell me about it!" the blond Gryffindor exclaimed. "It's so unfair!" That was the worst thing ever about being a fourth year... you were too old to be an ickle but still too young to be one of the big kids. What Vivian said next made him smile. "Thanks!" he said. "I wonder what your dormmates would think of you cheering on a Gryffindor..." Somehow he didn't think that would go over too well with the Slytherins...

"I wonder what your dormmates would think of you cheering on a Gryffindor..." Somehow he didn't think that would go over too well with the Slytherins...
Vivian giggled at what Zorro was doing, like he was some sort of waiter on duty. "Thank you, Sir!" she replied and returned his salute, going with the flow. The blonde was very thankful for her Gryffindor friend's gesture of ordering for both of them. Being a gentleman was highly appreciated, and her mum had told her it was a sign of a guy's good upbringing. Vivian was quite sure her mum would like Fiyero, if they ever met. "It's alright," she said. A joke was a joke, nothing the Slytherin would ever take seriously considering her dad was the biggest prankster in the Fairfield family. "But really, thanks a lot." She smiled to reassure him.
He'll try not to? Hmm. "'Course, you can study as much as you want but Super Vivi will make sure you get to chill," the blonde said. Actually, she hadn't even thought of studying for her OWLs yet. She was determined to finish this term first before she dealt with the seriousness of their fifth year examinations. As one of her life mottos went, don't worry about the future when you still have the present! Vivian was about to thank Zorro for bringing her food but... the cookie, though. She hadn't expected that. "You didn't have to, Zorro. Here, we can share the cookie." Vivian took it and broke it into two pieces, then offered the other half to Fiyero. She hoped he'd take it, because then she had to pay for the cookie. It was a different situation when her family bought her food, but having someone unrelated to her do it was another story.
The blonde began digging into her macaroni and cheese. AAAHHHH so good! It reminded her of her mum's cooking at home. "And the headmistress didn't even mind the boom box?" Vivian found it amusing. Usually the people in high positions were strict and all, but the Slytherin was quite glad that Headmistress Hawthorne gave the students a chance to have fun. She was officially going up the 'cool list' of Professors at Hogwarts, no doubt. "That would've been great to be part of, indeed. Sounds like a lot of fun."
"Maybe our time hasn't come yet. Good things come to those who wait," Vivian said. She liked to remain positive when people decided things weren't in their favour. After all, they still had three more terms after this one to prove themselves. And... were her friends really going to make a big deal out of her supporting a Gryffindor? Vivian gave it some thought before ultimately shaking her head. "They won't. In fact, my dorm mates and I happen to have friends from your House, too. And my dad was a Gryffindor when he used to be here, so why would I not like the people in his house, right?" Sure, there was bad blood between their houses, but that was yeaaaars ago. The blonde was determined not to let their houses divide them in spite of the differences.

Rachel smiled. "Wonderful. You won't regret it, I'm sure.'' Unless, of course, for some unfortunate reason Valerie did not like the flavour or it did not agree with her stomach. "Shepard's pie,'' she said almost at once. "That's one thing that screams British. It originated right here in Scotland though quite a few books have mentioned Northern England as well.'' Yes, Rachel did read books other than educational ones.
"I'll leave you to enjoy your meal, Valerie. Good luck for the rest of the tournament. I admired your skills during the first challenge.'' The Ravenclaw patted Valerie on her shoulder before moving off.

It was her favorite holiday and she was ready. Madelyn had spent most of the week decorating the beetle and baking cookies. Leaving the cookies in the common area she made a small basket for a special someone. It was exciting to get to go to Hogsmeade and hangout with Will. He was so cute and she enjoyed spending time with him.
So meeting him outside the beetle she walked happily to Hogsmeade. "From what I've heard the cute tea place is going to be super busy, so why don't we go to the Three Broomsticks." She knew they weren't officially dating so she didn't want to make the date a huge deal being Valentine's Day, but she couldn't help being excited about having a date on Valentine's Day.
Walking into the place she looked around, "Where do you want to sit?"
The three broomsticks looked like it always did on winter weekends. The students, today at least were standing around looking a mixture of nervous and excited and others…looked sad, why were they sad? She blinked and looked around for a moment before it hit her. Merlins' soggy beard.
It was valentine’s day! Sure, when she had been owling Kalen Kennedy throughout the year she had asked if he would want to get together and meet up for old times’ sake. The thirty-something year old felt her cheeks flush and not from the cold as she made her way over to the empty table that she had been directed to. A warm pot of tea sat on the table before her and sat, right. The tea and the nagging desire to see the librarian she would have been working with now had Annabeth not gotten sick was kicking in.
She remembered it fondly, everything they had done together in school. The way she had always gotten along with Kalen was nice, even if it had gutted her when she had heard about Serena. Serena had been the nicest person. Imogen glanced up at the door every time it opened, really, she half expected that Charlotte would pop in and demand that she take Annabeth and Cordelia off of her hands, even if her sister-in-law had always been the most responsible girl she had ever known.

Walking into the place she looked around, "Where do you want to sit?"
Will was kinda relieved they weren't hitting up the 'cute tea place', since it was extra super romantic, and he wasn't sure he was the extra super romantic type guy. His romantic efforts had been pretty much exhausted over the past few weeks, in his opinion, and he was running out of key moves. How many moves could a guy have?
And on Valentine's Day? He should have faked a major disease. Dragonpox. Malaria. Something catching.
"In the corner? It's pretty private, and we won't get bothered by much traffic." He grabbed a chair and pulled it out for Madelyn. "After you."
Now normally Katerina would jump at the chance for a Hogsmeade weekend. She had been spending lots and lots of time in the library and in Professor Hirsch's training room mostly. Every day after lessons, she was studying somewhere.
With all the other things going on in her life right now. She just wanted to get out for some fresh air. Maybe that would be good for her. It was what she needed. Just to get out of the castle and away from everything.
She really just wanted a butterbeer and to relax with some of her friends hopefully. If not that fine too. But mostly she wanted avoid the couples. Hopefully they were all at puddifoots. Not was the case, apparently she eyed the Ilvermorny couple that had just sit down. Someone should tell them about Puddifoots. They should go there instead.
She headed to the bar and ordered a butterbeer and looked around for another place to sit. Finding one the other corner she slid into the booth and out of sight hopeful.

He was pulling out her chair for her. OHMYGOD, he was the sweetest thing since sliced bread and she was just eating it up. "Thank you" smoothing out her dress before sitting down Madelyn couldn't help the huge smile on her face. "So I have been baking the last few days. I didn't want to like scare you away with Valentine's Day, but I hope you don't mind I got you a little something." She placed the container of baked goods on the table for and a small gift bag that had a shirt of his favorite Quodpot team in it.
She hoped she wouldn't scare him off or anything getting him something for Valentine's Day, but she just couldn't help it. The excitement showed in her eyes that she was getting to have lunch with William Healy. It was an actual go somewhere date too, though she so enjoyed their creative dates at Hogwarts.

Kalen pulled his coat around him as he headed into the Three Broomsticks, trying to shield himself from not only the cold, but front the Holiday as well. He had totally forgotten what day it was.. February 14th, such an innocuous date.. and yet..
It was Valentines day.. Just another reminder of a Holiday that he pretended didn't exist. No mind though.. at least he wouldn't be spending this one alone.
He opened the door and stepped inside the building, his green eyes adjusting to the light inside as he looked around.. He wasn't late, he knew that.. He was right on time. He had even left early, but due to the masses amount of kids that seem to be flocking to Hogsmeade, he arrived at 3pm on the dot!!
Finally, his eyes adjusted to the light and he smiled as he saw exactly who he was looking for!
"Imogen!" He said with a happy voice as he moved forward to greet his friend and former classmate.. "It's so good to see you." He said as he pulled back and looked at her.

"Should we order?"
Generally speaking, when a girl started saying 'I didn't want to scare you off', she was already well over the hill of crazy and into the mountains of 'whoa Nellie WHAT?'. That was to say... Will Healy had moved from nervous to actively sweating through his dress shirt. And it wasn't like he'd brought a lot of nice clothes, so if he pitted out this one, he'd have to owl his mum to send more clothes.
"Oh. Thank you, actually. My ma usually sends us cookies with her owls, but Sean's been hogging them all. I've missed homemade goodies like this." He peered into the box at the cookies before giving her a cheeky grin. It faltered at the gift bag. A real gift. A thoughtful one. Merlin. She was out-maneuvering him.
"I don't have anything for you, Blondie. Madelyn. I'm sorry. I... I knew it was Valentine's Day, but it didn't occur to me that we were at a gift giving point yet, and..." And it was only their third date, first in public, and he was an idiot. "Yeah. Yeah, let's order. Anything you want. My treat."

"I don't have anything for you, Blondie. Madelyn. I'm sorry. I... I knew it was Valentine's Day, but it didn't occur to me that we were at a gift giving point yet, and..." And it was only their third date, first in public, and he was an idiot. "Yeah. Yeah, let's order. Anything you want. My treat."
She couldn't help but have the biggest beaming smile as he thanked her for the cookies and she held back an awwwwwwww as he talked about his mom. Wasn't he the cutest and he seemed to be close with his family which made him even cuter in her book. She hung on his words and she watched as he looked into the gift bag, "I hope it fits. If it doesn't I can send it back." She had guessed on his size, but cheese and crackers she had looked at him and his shirts for awhile now she hoped she could at least guess the size.
Tilting her head she watched him struggle a bit with his words and she couldn't help but giggle, "I like Blondie. You are the only one that calls me that." He had called her that for so long she really just thought of it as her nickname. She reached over and took his hand giving it a little squeeze. "Silly, you didn't have to get me anything. I just remembered our conversation from our first date. You saying your favorite quodpot team and stuff. So I had owled an order for it. I was giving it to you either way." She loved giving gifts to everyone.
"Plus I gave gifts to others if that makes you feel better. Maesi always loves getting presents and attention." Madelyn did not want tension on their date so she hoped that helped. "A salad would be perfect and butterbeer."
Imogen knew that she had arrived early, but that was what happened when you floo’d to a town instead of taking a carriage ride from the local school. She wasn’t sure when Kalen would arrive, but whenever he did she was going to give him the biggest hug EVER. She had missed her former classmate.
Still, she rather liked Valentines more than the dreaded International Widows day…really that luckily less celebrated day always gave her a slight pang to her heart even though she knew now that she hadn’t had the best choice in men in the past. Herbert Chace was nothing like Kalen’s dear kind Serena.
Hearing the door open Imogen glanced up and just smiled, he looked great. ”I’ve missed you!” Imogen just smiled softly at the man that had always loved books even in their youth. ”Kale, its always great to see you” Imogen smiled softly as she gave him a quick hug. ”…” her mouth opened and closed as she tried to think of something to say. ”you look good…how have you been?” she asked as she grinned at him. ”I’m sorry I missed you last weekend I came by to visit with Laurel back in the fall, really…if I’d known you were coming to teach here I might not have left.” she admitted with a chuckle.
Right…that wasn’t awkward right? She just meant that she had missed him right? It was like she had had a thing for him ages ago before meeting Bert. That man would have been the biggest mistake in her life had he not been the reason she had had Annabeth and Cordy. "Oh! Annabeth said to say hello, she also realized you were the one that gave all those books before they were born and wanted to thank you...she almost insisted on coming with me until she was bribed with going to the zoo with her aunt Charlie" Imogen grinned.
"thank you...again for those, they were really helpful" she wasn't going to tell him she was sorry about Serena. He had already known that, she had written him the moment she had found out and had even offered to let him stay with her and the girls if he needed any distraction at the time. It was what a friend did, offer help and support whenever things turn for the worst. Kalen losing Serena, that was the worst.

Moves. This kid did NOT have them. But Noah had fed him the idea of taking Emmeline to the Three Broomsticks for Valentine's Day to make up for almost dying on the cruise ship party shindig. Although that was HARDLY his fault since Jordan had been the one to nearly drown him by throwing him into the water like that. Not that anyone would have known the first year couldn't swim. Well, other than outside of his family and Noah.
Only now the entire school knew. Not humiliating at all. Nope.
But aaaaaaaanyway....he was glad that she had accepted his offer. Not that he had any doubts she would and the 12-year-old was pretty set on his methods of woo-ing her through paper throwing to get her attention had something to do with it. It was hard to ignore.
Pulling open the door and totally forgetting the whole gentleman thing to hold it open for her too, he stepped inside the Three Broomsticks and immediately pulled out his red coin BAG to start counting his sickles. "I think I have enough for two butterbeers," he stated while giving the coins in his palm a recount.

Emmeline was not sure what to think about this whole Valentine's Day thing. She had been happy and excited when James had asked her, but then these weird butterflies kept flying all over her stomach any time it was just the two of them in these situations. Like the boat party and now. It was strange, but what was even weirder were the urges to giggle and smile a lot more. She was not a giggler. At least she hadn't been before James started...not seeming like a total troll all the time. She wondered when that had happened, but tried to put the thought out of her mind because it was not helpful at all.
The boat party had ended in disaster, what with James almost dying because of that stupid Jordan kid and all. She didn't want to think about that for long, either, only just enough to hope that today wouldn't end with more attempts on James' life. She had graciously finally accepted James' thing about her not getting revenge on Jordan for that whole incident, though it still made her super mad and feel like slapping Jordan at the very least. Not that that would be any fun--
Her vague thoughts of revenge on Jordan (that she wouldn't even act on) were cut short as she caught the door behind James before it managed to hit her in the face. It seemed like her getting hit was a regular occurrence around James, though at least it was usually parchment these days and not metal owl cages. She took a couple of steps inside the Three Broomsticks, wondering why the butterflies were suddenly back in her stomach. Emmeline tried not to squint at the Sickles in the boy's hand as he counted them (so she could count too), and offered: "D'you want me to give you half? It's only fair." She fished around in her pockets for her own coin bag, but decided to wait for his answer before she started counting Sickles. She wasn't sure why she paused, really, it just felt like maybe she should.

Yeah....the door had been an oops. Thankfully he had something in his satchel bag that would make up for it. Probably. Noah had made the suggestion too soooooo...
"Nah. I got it," he grinned back at her over his shoulder. He had a line too. A GOOD one. "Instead you can..." he continued, draaaaaaagging out the suspense and reaching into his bag all nice and slow-like and eventually pulling our a bouquet of flowers he had picked willy nilly about the grounds and castle. So the lengths of the stems were all over the place and is sort of looked more like a bouquet of weeds. "...take these and go find us a table."
See? Super smooth line! How cool was he?

Gaston was happier today than he'd been in many months. It was Valentine's day, and not only that, it was also Hogsmeade weekend, which meant an entire day with his love. He'd missed spending time with Rose, but their staff duties kept them apart.
Bright blue eyes glanced around the room as Gaston entered The Three Broomsticks. Ideally he would've preferred to go somewhere a bit less crowded, but he didn't like Madame Puddifoot's and Rose didn't like The Hog's Head. He peeled off his gloves and stuffed them in his coat pocket as he made a beeline for one of the empty tables at the back of the pub, away from prying eyes. His grip tightened around the bouquet of roses (under a disillisionment charm, of course) that he held as he watched the door. Rose should be here any minute!

Louise was not here on a date and even though she had a date for the dinner cruise, it was mostly out of formalities of being a champion. Although, if she was to have a date for Valentine's Day, there was someone different and older that had caught her eye and attention span at the cruise. Except the Thunderbird was positive he was out of her league.
She was here because how often was she going to get the chance to explore the infamous wizarding village of Scotland? As a student? Considering she only had five months as a student, she guessed the opportunity was not going to present itself very often.
Applying a fresh coat of lip gloss, the seventh year decided upon grabbing a drink and snack before heading to explore the Shrieking Shack. Since the second challenge just over a month ago, she had been itching to explore the shack to determine how much of her dream was reality. She also wanted to see where she might have gone wrong, because even though she had earned enough points miraculously to scrape her into the third round, she had the lowest number of points of the eight remaining champions. Something she definitely had mixed emotions over, but was totally blaming the fact that while she had figured out the riddle, she far preferred defensive challenges to ones that challenged her mind. Also, how in the name of Isolt Sayre did Kyle Baker manage to maintain that perfect score? She knew the fifth year was intelligent, but was convinced that the Horned Serpent had some sort of bribery going on. Maybe.

Emmeline blinked as she watched him draw out the last sentence and pull a bunch of weeds out of his bag. He'd done the whole thing with so much drama that she'd briefly wondered what exactly he'd be pulling out like that; it was hard to know with James. Could've been anything, really. But then, Emmeline liked surprises as long as nobody got maimed or died.
This surprise was definitely a good one. Unfortunately, it took Emmeline a few awkward seconds of staring at the variety of weeds in his hand to figure out that he'd obviously meant them to be flowers. The only problem was, she wasn't sure he knew what flowers even were. Still, he'd tried to do something nice and she appreciated the effort, so she tried reallllly hard not to laugh in front of him. She managed to keep her amusement contained to a smile, somehow, and honestly doubted that James would notice any difference between her normal smiles and "oh Merlin I really want to laugh now" smiles. Boys didn't notice anything, or at least this one didn't usually. She plucked the stems from his grasp carefully, trying hard not to spill weeds all over the floor. This was somewhat difficult because the stems were super different lengths and some of them were so short, but... "Thanks, James! I have something for you too." She wasn't going to get it out with a fist full of weeds, though. Emmeline shot James another shy smile and bounced off to a table for two near one of the windows.

Kalen grinned as she spoke and he rubbed his neck a bit as she spoke.. "I have missed you as well." Really he had, they had always been so close back in school, and now working with Laurel and Tristan almost felt like some sort of permanent school reunion. Now all he needed were his brothers and..
Well..
Anyways..
"I'm doing good actually, being at Hogwarts is pretty much like a dream come true, and that library.." It was like heaven to him, even after his job at Cambridge.. Hogwarts was still where his heart lay. "And how are you doing Imogen?" He asked curiously as he tilted his head as she spoke of why they hadn't met sooner.
"It's no worries honestly, I'm just glad that we can meet now." He said as he smiled warmly at her, his green eyes twinkling a little.. "Always the Flatterer aren't you? But, yes it would have been fun to work together,,
Ahh well." He said as he motioned to a table..
"Shall we sit?" He asked as she spoke of her girls..
"Well, I shall have to make time to see them, perhaps this summer? They can thank me in person then?" He asked as the door opened and he automatically turned his gaze towards it to see Louise enter..
Ahh..
A smile was sent her way before he turned back to his companion..

Scarlett was tired of studying. She felt like that was all she did - except when it came to Divination, she was SOOO going to ace that OWL. If she didn't, she would be so embarrassed and her dad would probably have a fit. Even though it was Valentine's Day and she had no date, she decided to head to the Three Broomsticks anyways. There wasn't much room, but she managed to find an empty table. Butterbeer in hand, she smiled to herself and sat down, kicking her feet up on the stool opposite of her, and she leaned back. Time to do some people watching, and see how many people made fools of themselves on this stupid holiday...

Hoping that she wasn't keeping Gaston waiting long, Rosalyn made her way to the Three Broomsticks. Thank Merlin it wasn't the Hogs Head as she thought that place was filthy. And he didn't like Puddifoots so that hadn't been an option either. Looked like it would be the crowded Three Broomsticks for them and that was perfectly fine with her. She was just happy for the chance for them to get together because it felt like forever since they had the opportunity with everything else that had been going on.
Smiling, she entered and looked around to see where he was seated. It didn't take long for her to locate him at table near the back. Rosalyn made a beeline towards him. "Gaston." It was so good to see him.
