Welcome!

[Perfect Bookworm]

18 year old graduated Lion, Hermione Jane Granger sat by herself in the darkness of the Leaky Cauldron. The best place to buy books was just a few shops down at Flourish and Blotts and that's where she'd been for the past few hours just sifting through books trying to find a good one. No hope. With a dissapointed look on her face she'd walked into the bar and was now sitting by herself at one of the small tables.

Drinking butterbeer was one of her favorite things to do. Though it brought back memories it was still great to the taste. Sighing she glanced around. No hope of seeing anyone she knew at this small bar.

[Parvati]

Parvati Patil sighed, looking around the store that she and her best friend Lavender Brown owned. No one had come in, in fact no one had come in the last few days. Lavender was sitting on a chair behind the register filing her nails and looking extremely bored. After organizing and re-organizing the store twice Parvati couldn't take it anymore. "I'm going for a walk Lav I will be back in a little while" She grabbed her cloak and put it on while heading out of the store.

She wandered around for a little while, looking at the people flitter throught the shops from time to time. Wondering why no one had been in their shop for so long. She passed the Leaky Cauldron but turned back to it and went in, needing a drink. She headed to the bar and ordered a butterbeer, sitting down on a bar stool and looking around slowly. It was rather dark and hard to see though.

Hermione sighed and looked toward the door as it swung open. Finally a face she knew, and in such a deserted bar. Smiling she stood up and walked over.

"Is this seat taken?"

She asked nodding to the seat by Parvati. Hermione's hair was up in a half ponytail and once again it was curly like it used to be in school. Usually she straightened it but today it was like it used to be. She also had on some casual jeans and a kind of tight white shirt.

[Parvati]

Parvati looked over, after hearing a familiar voice. "Hey Hermione" she smiled. "Nope, it's open. Have a seat" Parvati smiled. She had not seen Hermione in a long time. "How have you been?" She asked her.

[Perfect Bookworm]

[SIZE=1]She smiled and set down her drink then sat down herself. Sighing she shrugged.

"Ive been...hanging on."

Taking a deep breath and a sip of her drink.

"What about you? How've you been?"

[seamus]

Paper airplanes flying around the ministry of magic. A few landing on your desk. Howlers blowing up everywhere. Owls taking your office as an owlery as many fly in and out. Ah, the life of an auror. But seamus isn;t just any auror. He's one of the many few that voldemort seems to fear or picks on the most as he plans his attack. Figures.

Seamus stands up from his desk and walks over to a window that lets him see outside to london. He sighs figuring that he needs a drink. He opens his door and hands his secretay a folder and disappears from the ministry of magic.

Seamus appears in diagon alley. The streets seem to be destered. strange semaus thinks as he walks around. He sees the leaky cauldren and opens the door. This place too seemed desterted. He doesn't notice the two sitting down at a table. HE walks to the bar and orders a butter beer with alcohol in it.

[Hannah Abbott]

It seemed strange to Hannah to be in Diagon Alley, she hadn't been there in a few months and it seemed very different then when she used to come here as a student at Hogwarts. But then again a lot of things had changed since she had gone to Hogwarts. The most obvious thing was Hannah herself. No longer was she rosey cheeked and sporting pigtails, she had grown up tremendously in the past year.

She walked into the Leaky Cauldron, her long blonde hair stretching down her back and she was dressed in muggle clothes as usual. She sat down in a booth not noticing any of her old classmates and pulled out a book that she was reading.

[Lillian]

-Lillian stepped out from the bookstore.- "Drats."-She muttered to herself looking up she had no clue where she was.Her mind was racing she noticed the Leaky Cauldron.She shuffled in to get out of the cold.Her eyes darted she didn't notice anybody she knew. As usal she thought to herself. She quickly sat herself away from anybody keeping herself cloaked as though hiding her face. The black cloak fell down to her feet and the hood covered her face. Be carefull Lillian you look'd like a Death Eater from far away her mother had told her as she had packed it that summer. She never took that seriously though it was warm and it covered her completly the way she liked it. She once again pulled out the black book a pencil in hand she wrote something down conting to flip threw it's pages.-

[seamus]

Seamus gets his drink within a few minutes and he pays for it, and takes a sip. He sees an edition of the daily prophet near by. He picks up a copy and turns around to look for a place to sit. He smiles as he sees hermione and parvati.

"Hey hermione, parvati."

He looks around passed them and he sees hannah and smiles to her

"Hey hannah"

He notices the cloaked and darkened figure and looks at it strangely, mentally preparing himself.

[Lillian]

-Lillian felt somebodys eyes upon her. A small tingle ran down her spine. Not good she thought to herself. She ordered the drink staring out the window her hood fell down partaily to show the top of her ponytail before she pulled it back up.She turned around wondering who had been looking at her. That guy I met at that shack Seamus I think. I wonder what hes doing here wouldn't he have work to do being an auror and all. I guess they have alot of free time on their hands. So many thoughts passed threw her head at once.
-Her drink arrived interupting her thoughts.- " Thank you mam. " -She said her voice chilled she must be getting sick ran threw her mind.. She pulled out a coin purse the Slytherin snake embroidered on it pulling out a few coins she handed them to the lady drinking the liquid slowly.- " Keep the change. "- She muttered setting the drink down she scribbled something in her book. She bent her head slightly and the hood fell.- " Just what I need." - Her hood went up in seconds flat only giving an observer a glimpse of her face.
-She sighed deeply flipping the pages in the book before looking at her hand pulling a pen from her ear she began to draw the thing enscrolled on it. About 4 mins. later, She tucked away the pen in the tip of her ponytail. Her book slipped into her cloak and she sat silently pondering.-

[Perfect Bookworm]

She glanced over at him and smiled. Good to see him out of work. It was amazing. She always saw him at work. They used to see each other at home. Honestly, they lived with each other. Why wouldnt they see each other at home...well...that time he walked in on her showering doesnt count..

"Hey Seamus!"

Taking a small sip of her drink she sighed. Life always seemed to turn out okay. Even after a long day in the office.

[seamus]

Seamus sees the girl dressed resemblying a death eater pull off her hood several times, but decides to leave her alone, unless she does anything. He smiles as hermione answered him.

"Hey, what's up?"

He takes a sip of his drink.

[Hannah Abbott]

Hannah was pulled out of the book she was reading by an old familiar voice, she looked up and a smile spread across her face. It had belonged to Seamus Finnigan, and he wasn't alone Hermione Granger and Pavarti Patil was also there. She closed her book and walked over to Seamus, holding the book at her side when at one time she would have hid behind it by hugging it to her chest.

"Well long time no see, how've you been?"

[seamus]

Seamus turns around to hannah and smiles as she spoke and came over. He nods

"Yepp, been very busy, alright and you?"

He looks at her and can tell how much she has changed from school.
