Streets of Hogsmeade

[Firefly_Wanderer]

"Certainly sir." Michael said with a nodd. Good he liked the forest. It'd been one of his favorite places when he was in school, now he just hoped he remembered it as well as he had back then. Following Arthur towards the castle, Michael cast his dark eyes over every building and alley way they past. Be bit habit or paranoia, he wasn't sure. A tiny part of him had the silly hope that one of those glances would have Travers there and they would fine Tamara all the sooner. Sighing internally at that train of thought he turned half of his attention back to his boss as they hurried towards the castle.

((want to move to the castle? or do you have more planed here?))  

[Professor Tahiri]

{Nope. I was going to post my entrance to the castle. smile }

Gavan wandered aimlessly through the streets. He wished he could have gone with his uncle and Romina but there wasn't anything he could do about that. Although he loved being on his own. The small blonde smiled a little as he spun around once before plopping down on a bench. Pulling out a small picture Gavan smiled lightly again. It was the only picture he had of his uncle and his mother. Hydrus was still hunting down all the old photo albums. Part of him wondered what his mother would think of him now...if she'd be happy. Sighing lightly he sat watching the picture move about.

The bitter cold of the night air tore harshly at Bartlebee's cheeks as he walked slowly down the cobbled streets of Hogsmeade, his wolf Raven at his heels. It was nice to get out for once, being stuck in that musty old shop had taken quite a toll on the old man and he was finally beginning to realize it. He tried numerous times to shake the worries from his head, failing the shop, along with the recent tragedies that had taken place nearby, but he just couldn't manage it.

As he trudged up the road, weaving in between visitors and fellow inhabitants of Hogsmeade with no particular destination in sight, Bartlebee decided that a nice tall mug of Firewhiskey sounded more than appealing. He turned on his heel, heading back in the opposite direction towards where The Three Broomsticks was nestled in the heart of Hogsmeade.

Aiden could clearly see his breathe in the night as he panted heavily under the weight of the bag he was carrying over his shoulder. His adrenaline was pumping for a number of reasons. It had been years since he had been back at Hogsmeade, nearly six since he had graduated from Hogwarts. He was excited to take the position at Wisacre's with his grandfather, but was beginning to thing that he shouldn't have went for the surprise attack. If he'd have sent his answer by owl, Bartlebee would have been expecting him, and he wouldn't have shown up at an empty shop and been forced to trudge around the cobbled streets of Hogsmeade searching for him.

He glanced down as Harley, his newly acquired grey wolf, hopped alongside of Aiden's long strides. Harley was one of the reason's for his decision to make his arrival a surprise. That way, Grandpa wouldn't be able to turn down his new best friend.

Aiden kept his eyes peered as he continued to stroll by the shops, glancing in the windows of the ones with lights on. As he passed The Three Broomsticks, he couldn't help but notice a sullen white-haired man practically collapsed atop the boor. He whistled to his pup and made his way towards the front doors.


 

[Professor Tahiri]

Sascha Schneider

Scared and out of place, Sascha trudged up from the train station, the cool spring air blowing through her hair. She glanced around at the shops and buildings near the station. Biting her lip, she tried to stay close to the buildings, staying away from the center of the road in hopes that no large crowds overtook her. With a heavy sigh, she scanned the shop names, trying hard to identify the names; the English words confused her.

Charlie, Alec and Cody strolled down the street, a packet of sweets in each of their hands. They all stopped when they saw a stranger standing in the street, on the side, to the shops. They glanced at each other before Charlie made a courageous step forward to the girl.
"Hello!" he said with a welcoming smile.

 

[Professor Tahiri]

Sascha Schneider

Sascha jumped when she heard someone say hello to her, or at least she assumed it was to her since he was standing in front of her. She looked down at the ground shyly and bit her lip. "Oh, um, hello," she said quietly. She glanced up at him, then lowered her eyes to the ground again.  

[hocusss]

"Excuse me, Miss, but are you new here?" asked Cody suspiciously. Alec rolled his eyes and slammed his hand against the back of Cody's head, making him wince. The girl was obviously shy, a foreign visitor. Charlie laughed and bowed politely to the girl.
"Sorry. They're pure fools when it comes to women." he chuckled under his breath with a light sneer.

 

[Professor Tahiri]

Sascha Schneider

Shyly, she bit her lip again and tilted her head to the side slightly. Furrowing her eyebrows, she tried in vain to understand what they were saying. Still looking at the ground, she shyly said, as if reciting from a dictionary, "I do not speak English good." She shyly twisted her foot on the ground and twirled a strand of brown hair.  

[hocusss]

"Ah." Alec pouted dramatically as he made slow pirouette, a handful of candy in his left hand, the bag in the other. Cody sighed heavily and pushed a Chocolate Frog in his mouth, still glancing up at the intruder.
"Oh. I'm Charlie. And this is Cody and Alec." Charlie explained by pointing to himself, then to his cousins, who nodded and waved to the girl.

 

[Professor Tahiri]

Sascha Schneider

Names, that much she could understand. Meekly, she looked up at the two older men, then down at the boy. "S...S...Sascha," she said shyly, biting her lip. The candy the men had was making her hungry. She ran out of money buying the ticket for Hogsmeade and hadn't eaten in a while.  

[hocusss]

The three males nodded to Sascha in greeting with a smile. Charlie, noticing the glance thrown on the candy, took his own candy bag, which was now half-full, half-empty, and handed it to her.
"Here, take it." he nodded.

 

[Professor Tahiri]

Sascha Schneider

The man who seemed to be the middle age one offered her a bag of candy and she was about to decline when her stomach rumbled. "Danke vielmals!" she blurted out, accepting the bag of candy and eating ravenously. She realized just now that she was making a complete fool of her self. "Entschuldigung Sie bitte," she apologized, then realized that they probably didn't speak German. She blushed heavily.  

[hocusss]

Charlie nodded with an friendly smile, slightly understanding what Sascha said. He grumbled through his mind, trying to recall some German words he learned when he was in Romania and Germany.
"Haben Sie Familie hier?" he asked, not quite sure of him. Cody and Alec, obviously taken aback, glanced at each other, then back at Charlie, who simply smirked.
