[Full-on run-and-hug time here, folks.]

Amelia! It's wonderful to see you again!

[givesyouaboner]

Oh, yeah. Dave doesn't really answer a lot of my questions either, so I've read through some of his old books.

Dave is going to be a fourth year, and my uncle is a teacher! But the three of us are the only people in our entire family who are magical. Is it just you and your brother?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I'm lucky to have a friend like you, Roxas.

[ladyliberty]

[Huuugs! She loves hugs.]

It's great to see you too! I missed you!

[givesyouaboner]

I have a kitten, but I wouldn't let that keep you from getting a rat if you want it. Orangina gets along with Sprite, sort of, and he's an owl.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Well... Maybe you will? Not that you have to! But... I don't know. Mother's a witch, so I'm not used to life without magic.

[sailorhonesty]

[It takes Applejack a moment to turn around and see who it is talking to her, waving back at the other girl.]

Oh hey, Chel! How're y'all doin'?

A cafe!

[theredbat]

[Kate is sitting at a cafe, posture completely perfect. Really, she looks like she should relax a bit, but she's in a strange place (even though this is her fifth year going to the Alley), and she needs to be on the defensive.

Such is the life of a military brat.]

[givesyouaboner]

_{[He takes her hand.]} Okay. My name is Dirk, by the way!

[jeet]

...Hopefully.

Oh! Spiders? Really?

[syned_a_brik]

Haha!

Oh yah, der list. Ho boy. Who had de list?

Vait! Mebbe Maxim has de list! Yah! Dot vas vhy ve vanted to find him!

Anyvay, Hy can't do schoppink mit no list, so Hy vill chust follow hyu.

[jeet]

...Only sort of? So it still tries to eat the owl?

[luxextenebris]

[He just gives a small heh before reaching to take her hand, leading her into the shop now that the crowd has thinned a little.]

Any flavour, any scoop, any sundae. Your pick.

[remembertheroses]

[A relieved smile breaks across her face, and cheered by the praise, Ib introduces herself with slightly more gusto than normal.]

My name is Ib. Pleased to meet you, Ra...

[Oh, this is a slightly harder name than normal. She takes a deep breath, practices the name under her breath and quietly for a few tries , before she finally finishes her sentence.]

Pleased to meet you, Rapu...Rapunzel.

Outside Eeylops Owl Emporium

[pizzaitaliana]

Ve~ cuuute~! [Don't mind the Hufflepuff 5th year pressing her face against the window of Eeylops Owl Emporium and making a fool of herself with awful imitations of hooting noises. If she looks all the more like a fool for bouncing around on the spot and squealing about the cuteness of the various animals when she isn't too busy hooting, well that is to be expected from Felicia.]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I missed you, too! [She gives her a squeeze, then lets go.] So, how are you?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

A scoop of rocky road would be plenty. Thank you.

[remembertheroses]

I am from Tokyo, but now I am living in London.

Do you know Oggie?

[She mispronounces Oggie's name as O-ggi-eay, rather than "Oggie".]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[Oh, she's so dense!]

You can call me Punzie. Some people do! And it's nice to meet you, Ib.

[remembertheroses]

Punzie.

[That's shorter, and slightly easier. Ib nods and repeats the name.]

Punzie. Ok.

Are you going to Hog-ge-worts, Punzie?

[luxextenebris]

[He nods and turns his attention to the person at the counter.]

Two scoops of rocky road and I'll have chocolate fudge with brownies.

[fuckmackandme]

[Ok, focus. Her lovely eyes are up there.]

Oh, just a better Nimbus. My old one's not good for Quidditch try outs.

[pizzaitaliana]

[Oh look, cute mischievous boy, there is a cute hyperactive girl approaching you as you pass by Eeylops Owl Emporium.]

Did you see the new owls? And the cats? And the toads but they're slimy and icky but they have bushy-tailed cats and there's a puppy!

[ladyliberty]

"I'm awesome! How are you doing, Miss Prefect?"

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Pleased to meet you, Dirk. I'm Rapunzel!
