[So guess who's back after spending his sixth year in America, hanging out with Keith and going to the Salem institute? This boy right here. He decided to come back for his 7th year because he missed everyone and all that jazz. This Diagon Alley fair is going to be his first time seeing a lot of people in so long!

But of course the first familiar face he sees would be Amelia. That... isn't awkward at all. Nope, sure ain't.

Okay it's very awkward. Not that he isn't happy to see her, but considering. Things. It's just a little bit difficult for him. He hasn't had a girlfriend since then, after all. He's starting to wish he'd gone to the book store first, rather than the ice cream parlour.

Oh well, it's too late now.

Maybe if he just... Pulls his hat down low and slooowly moves to the counter to order, she won't notice him.]

[ladyliberty]

[Toooo late.]

Ellis? Is that you? Hellloooooo! Over here! It's me!

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[Freeze. Sloooowly turn.

Squint.

Feign ignorance.]

A-Amelia? Holy shit, I didn't even realize that you were here!

[ladyliberty]

I didn't realize you were here! How's it going, you big lug?

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Oh! Well, uh. I only actually just got back to England a few days ago! Came back for my 7th year. I guess I forgot to tell people!

And s'going good, I guess. What about you? I ain't seen you in a damn long time!

[ladyliberty]

Duh, you ran away back to America!

I'm going great! Not looking forward to classes again, but you know.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

...I didn't run away...

[Okay maybe breaking up had something to do with him going to America but she doesn't need to know that. The self conscious tone he has probably doesn't help things though.]

Hah, yeah. Classes suck, don't they? Man, the ones at the Salem school were so much more boring than Hogwarts, though.

[ladyliberty]

Really? Is that even possible? I always thought classes in the states would have a lot more explosions.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Only when I made 'em myself!

[ladyliberty]

I like your style.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[...Don't mind him if he turns a little red.]

Thanks. Y'know how it is, can't let it be boring all the time. What about you... caused any explosions at Hogwarts?

[ladyliberty]

Well, not in the classroom, anyway.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

So... in the hallways?

[ladyliberty]

You're so cute! I've missed you hangin' around.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

I... Uh, thanks, I guess? But what'd I do?

[ladyliberty]

[She gives him a friendly peck on the cheek.]

Just being you.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[At that, his face burns even redder and his hand comes up to rest on the spot she kissed. Ellis stop being animu.]

Well... I missed hangin' out with you too... There ain't no girls like you at Salem, that's for sure.

[ladyliberty]

There ain't no girls like me anywhere. But I bet they make 'em real cute in America.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Nah! Well... I mean yeah, maybe some of 'em were cute, but...

[Keep going, you're just making it awkward for yourself.]

Anyway... Y'want me to get us somethin'?

[ladyliberty]

What a gentleman.
