Inside The Three Broomsticks

[Jake Crawley]

Jake brought his hand down to the table and let Thalia open his fingers. "Never say I don't come up with interesting things to do."

[Nyssa Pond]

"You won't hear that from me," Nyssa said watching the fairy.

Thalia had just knelt on Jake's hand to give her better leverage to separate his fingers. She pulled them apart quickly and fell between his fingers doing a somersault in the process. She sat there between his fingers and looked around confused trying to get her bearings.

[Jake Crawley]

"Should we move locations back to the school. I will handle this one so we don't have any issues." Jake said. With his finger he ruffled Thalia's hair.

[Nyssa Pond]

Thalia started to wave her arms to get his finger out of her hair but came nowhere close to making contact.

Nyssa nodded. "Sounds good. Curfew is in about 40 minutes anyway."

[Jake Crawley]

"Where to then?" Jake asked picking up Thalia and holding her securely but carefully in his hand.

[Nyssa Pond]

"Somewhere she can't hurt herself," Nyssa said gesturing to the fairy who was now rocking from side to side in Jake's hand.

[Jake Crawley]

"I don't know of a pillow covered room," Jake said getting up and holding out his free hand for Nyssa.

[Nyssa Pond]

Nyssa took his hand as Thalia passed out in Jake's other hand. Nyssa sighed and rested her head on Jake's shoulder. "I suppose I should take her back to the dorm."

[Jake Crawley]

"Alright, let's walk back to the castle and we'll say good bye there," Jake said leading her out.

[Nyssa Pond]

"Sounds like a plan," Nyssa said following him out of the pub.

[Gavin Dean]

Gavin entered the Three Broomsticks alone, wishing he had one of his friends with him. Everybody seemed to be recovering from the busy work week and Gavin wanted to get out of the castle. He waved to the bar mistress and ordered a butterbeer and sat down at a surprisingly empty table.

[Neko Wormwood]

Neko wandered into the Three Broomsticks. Looking around she didn't see very many people. "What a shame." She thought outloud with a slight sigh. "I can't remember the last time I was in here, and the day I finally come in there are hardly any people to talk to."

[Gavin Dean]

Whenever he heard the bell ring, Gavin looked up to see who entered. It was normally a middle-aged man or some student he didn't talk to. But he recognized one student, Neko, who entered in just now. She seemed lost. Gavin tried reading her lips, only hearing a little part of her. He stood up from his seat as his butterbeer was delivered. "Um, hey!" Gavin couldn't remember her name, he only remembered talking to her about the Spring Ball. "Want to sit over here? You shouldn't be alone- unless you are waiting for someone," Gavin offered.

[Neko Wormwood]

Neko turned her head to see Gavin. "Oh, okay." She smiled and took a seat at his table. "No, I'm not waiting for anyone. Um you're... Gavin right?" She said hesitantly with hopes that she got his name right.

[Gavin Dean]

Gavin nodded, "yes, Gavin Dean," he said and held up an index finger and waved around to help search for her name, "Ne- Ne- something, Nikki? Something with that Kneek sound to it," Gavin said and put his palm to his face and shook his head, "I'm terribly sorry I forgot your name. The last time and I think first time I talked to you was about the Spring Ball with catering," Gavin said and held out his hand, "but as you remember, which is amazing, I'm Gavin Dean."
