Leaky Cauldron
Walking into the Leaky Cauldron from Charing Cross Road you see a friendly looking older man behind the counter who smiles and nods to you as you enter. There's a few tables for sitting and there is also an upstairs where you can spend the night if you need to. The man gestures to a table. "Have a seat and order a drink," he says friendly.

Freya beamed at him as he said he thought she was beautiful. I am so glad that you agree! "I am glad to put you in a good mood my dear." she said sweetly. "And thank you, you are none too shabby yourself." she added with a modest blush.
When suggested he visit her she smiled all the more."That would be wonderful." she said with a happy nod.
She pouted as he agreed, she didn't like being in the Leaky for the night. Freya hated to be alone. "I feel really alone here too..." she added with a little sigh.

If you choose to stay you'll throw it all away and I just want to take your innocence.
Theres no such thing as fate. Only yourself to blame , you never walked away.
"Well uhm...I suppose you could stay with me for the night. I have a fair few of guest rooms at home." Johnathon said as he scratched the back of his head.
He wasn't trying to be too forward and what not. Johnathon seriously just wanted to be helpful to the young lady who was in a new country, city and had no one to help her out.
Freya eyed Johnathon curiously, he moved awful fast for such a seemingly shy man. She had the feeling that he wasn't saying it with the intention most men would though. He really did seem just somewhat shy and trying to be helpful. Aww, he is so cute. Men his age don't tend to be so sweet. I wonder why he doesn't have a woman.....or at least doesn't seem to... She smiled at him sweetly, "Do you live alone in such a big place?" she asked curiously. She would be quite surprised if he did. She saw no reason for him to be single either, unless there was something that she was missing.

"Yes, I live alone. Well I have a cat but he's just a big baby. Follows me around the property everywhere I go." Johnathon replied with a hearty laugh.
"But I have many guests rooms that I haven't ever used so if you'd like to stay for a bit until you get settled into your own flat, you're welcome to it."
He said he lived alone with a...cat....hmm. Freya had never had a cat, only birds. "That is interesting, I 'ave never had a cat before." she mused. "I 'ave a hawk that likes to sit upon my arm or shoulder whenever she is allowed." she added.
"That is a very kind offer." she bowed with a smile. I wonder if he would offer that if he knew that I am to be his boss... She smiled at him warmly."I am paid here for a few nights, but I may take you up on that." she said and nodded.

Johnathon scrunched his nose. He had never been a fan of birds, ever since his trip to the zoo with all the swarming birds around his head.
"Well if you do stay at my place, I would refrain from having your pet there. You see, I'm awfully terrified of such animals and I don't think my cat would like the bird there much either." he explained with an apologetic look.
"If that's a problem, well then, I'm sorry. Truly."
Freya was unable to stop her frown as he said he was scared of birds. Can't have Bo with her? Oh that isn't going to work. She tried to shove her disappointment away, but she still bore a rather sad, yet beautiful, pout. "I am afraid that I must decline your kind offer of 'ospitality then, my friend. I have nowhere for her to stay except for with me and I cannot bear to be without Bo, we have been together for a very long time." she explained with a sigh. She was now in a bit more dismal of a mood, she would still be alone and what could she do about his bird fear?

"I understand Freya." he said with a dejected nod of his head. If only he wasn't so terrified of the creatures she could stay with him. Johnathon would've loved to have company for sure.
He took the last sip of his Firewhiskey and said, "Well I best be on my way home Freya. Care to meet up some time this week in Diagon Alley?" Johnathon looked at her hopefully.
"Per'aps when I have an apartment I can come visit. When I have somewhere safe for her to stay." she said trying to perk up both of their moods. She wondered if there was a way to help him over his fear. She knew Bo was the sweetest creature to ever live , but when you are afraid it doesn't tend to matter. She pondered as to why birds would scare him.
She pouted when he said he had to leave, not even attempting to hide her sadness. "Yes, I would like that very much. I have not explored it too much on my own yet." she nodded looking up at him smiling softly. She hoped that she would see him again and really wished she had somewhere to keep Bo right now. Why did he have to be afraid of birds???

"Alright. Well how about I meet you in the Street tomorrow around noon?" Johnathon asked with an arched brow.
"It really has been a pleasure to meet you Freya." he said leaning down and kissing her hand in an old fashioned manner. "Do take care." Johnathon then put his money on the counter for the barman and with a wink he turned on his heel and apparated into the night.
"'At sounds lovely." she said perking up a bit. He was quite cute when he arched his brow. She found him wonderfully handsome and quite charming though a tad shy.
She gave him a very bright smile as he kissed her hand. That is what she was looking for when she gave him her hand. He just needed to work through his shyness. "It has been wonderful meeting you Johanthon." she replied happily. Even if you are scared of birds...sigh... "I will and the same for yourself darling." she added and watched him leave. Smiling to herself , she finished her wine while debating what to wear tommorrow. She left up to her room for the night to rest and think on the matter.

After finishing work, the leaky cauldron seemed to be a good place to go. Serene apparated to Diagon Alley, and walked inside. She took a seat at a table, and ran her hand through her red hair, looking around the room.
Freya came down from her room to have her customary evening drink. She walked to the bar and ordered a Chanin Blanc, pausing to look around the room. As she looked , she saw a young woman around her age sitting at her normal table. She smiled curiously, very few people ever sat there besides herself. She liked it because , though somewhat secluded, it had a great view of diagon alley. She liked to watch the people go by. She took her drink thanking the bar tender and walked over to the young woman. "Great view non(no)?" she said smiling warmly. "Mind if I sit with you?" she asked pleasently.

Serene smiled at a woman around her age who came over to where she sat. "Yes, it is. You can see a lot of diagon alley." said Serene. "Not at all. Sit down." She said, her voice friendly.

Freya smiled as the young woman stated that it was a great view of Diagon Alley, which was precisely why she herself loved to sit there. The young woman invited Freya to sit at the table with her which elcited a bright smile. "Why thank you dear." she said and took the seat across from her. "My name is Freya Du' Monde by the way, pleasure to make your acquaintence." she introduced herself in a sweet voice.

Gwenevere lead Vincent into the Leaky Cauldron, smirking when he said that the longer you leave something the more intense it gets. "Oh I know that." Gwenevere stated, nodding her head. "But we can't leave it too long." She added, with a sly chuckle as she made her way over to the bar.Originally Posted by Mad as a Hatter.
"I'm glad the view pleases." She answered to his reply stating that he had a nice view from behind. She knew it would please. Gwenevere was very fond of teasing him, she found him cute when he was being teased. And she did it only too often. Even at Hogwarts she was the same.
"I'm going to have an elderflower wine, what will you be having?" She asked Vincent, reaching for her money. "Looks like I'm buying." She smiled, taking out some coins from her pocket. Gwenevere had done quite well for herself as a Professor over the years, but she still liked the simplicities in life. She'd never gone out and blown her money on something she didn't really need. She used her money sensibly and with great care.
Reaching the Leaky Cauldron through the magical barrier, Jeremy moved to open the door inside, holding it open so Shakila could enter before following and letting it close behind him. His eyes scanned the half-crowded venue for a empty table, finding one of to one corner and drawing his companion's attention to it. "Is that ok?" he asked quietly giving her the option, trying to slip back into how he did things seeing as he would venture to say it had been a longer time since he had done anything like this then the woman.
Shakila thanked Jeremy as he held the door open for her and she walked into the pub a head of him. Looking around herself for some place they could sit, her gaze falling upon a table just as Jeremy pointed it out. "That's fine," she replied, heading over in that direction with him. Taking one of the seats and waited for Jeremy to seat himself. "So what would you like?" she asked, with a playful grin. Wondering if he'd really let her pay when most guys got offended by such gestures. Well if they were one of the manly man type who felt that they should pay while out with a lady.
Jeremy gave a slight nod at her thanks, now following her lead after accepted his choice and lead him to the table in question. He took a seat across from her as Shakila was settled, thinking on the options in answer to her question and raising an slight eyebrow at her grin. "A butterbeer would be fine," he answered, passing on the order to the waitress who had appeared after finishing another table. "And yourself?" the cursebreaker questioned ready to at least pay for himself not sure of letting her cover both of them.
"I'll have the same," she said, to the waiter with a smiled. Her brown gaze turning back to Jeremy a second or two later. For someone who always had questions and wanted to know information about everything when it came to talking to guy she sometimes felt a little tongue tie, but that wasn't the case with Jeremy for some odd reason. Trying to remember just what they had talked about in the club, which had been hard from the loud music. "Care to tell me about your day?" she asked. Thinking it was a start and she was interested in what was making his day so bad.
Vincent smiled at Gwen's response ,she always knew what to say to him. He loved her laugh, and tye of chuckle was either she was teasing or knew something and with her usually both. "Oh it always pleases when its you.....always has." he teased back and chuckled. "I am always pleased when around you, you just have that effect on me luv." he said with a cute smile. He walked to the bar with her and pulled out a chair for her to sit in. He was a gentleman for the most part after all. Though he didn't tend to look it. When she asked what he would be having he stroked his chin and thought about it."Mmm, I will start with a touch of that, elderflower is good for a chat." he mused with a smile. When she said she was buying though he shook his head."Only if I am catching the next round." he smiled. He wasn't rich but he was decently well off. After all, the Daily Prophet was not his only source of income. "And we can save the hard stuff for the caravan." he said with a chuckle.
As the waitress disappeared with their orders, Jeremy returned his attention to the woma before him. He himself wasn't really sure what to start with, still getting back into the swing of things and at least at the club they had had the music and dancing to distract from the full attention. When Shakila took the inniative to restart the conversation he was somewhat thankful. "Well it started out alright, but as always that soon changed. Had a few issues of my own I had to deal with and goblins can be immense pains at times."
Gwenevere smiled at Vincent's words, he really did make her feel good about herself. She loved his sense of humor, his edge and especially his looks. "You know you have that pleasing effect on me too." She replied, taking the seat he'd pulled out for her. "Thank you." She nodded her head. She nodded to his reply as to what drink he wanted and waved over the bar man "Two Elderflowers please!" She said then turned back to Vincent, "Oh you can bet you'll be buying the next round." She grinned rather cheekily at him and accepted their drinks from the bar man, handing one to Vincent. "Oh yes, always the hard stuff for the caravan. You know how much fun we have in there, and I'm rather looking forward to getting back there tonight." She winked at him, crossing her legs so that her dress revealed a bit more legs. It didn't really show too much, but enough to show where her thigh high stockings came up to.
Gwenevere couldn't help but tease him like that. Not too much but not too little. Just subtle enough. She always thought that these little teases made their time at the caravan even more... eventful... and intense.
"That's always the case days starting out rather good, but then turns to the worse," Shakila replied, as they waited for their drinks. "But I don't think I'd be able to work with goblins all the time. They always seem so grumpy. I've thought about doing a story on Gringotts. Care to give me an exclusive about the everyday life with working there?" she asked, but she wasn't completely serious unless he of course wanted to give her one. If not it wasn't something she'd press like getting a juicy story to post on the front page of the Daily Prophet. "Though I wasn't lucky enough to have a good start today. Didn't sleep much last night."
"Yes they do tend to be that way," he replied with a chuckle, " but not always that bad. Listening to Shakila, his attention on the table somewhat, Jeremy had no clue if she was serious or not about the article so he attempted to brush either attempt off. "Well I could," he mused," but I doubt it would be very good and very interesting to your readers," he explained looking back up at her. The cursebreaker nodding slightly in understanding. "Yes that does tend to help a day...sleep I mean."
