Something for Everyone (Hogsmeade trip)

[Drew Thornton]

In a year full of lasts, Drew was getting tired of reminding himself that he was leaving Hogwarts. This was the last Hogsmeade outing he'd go on and while that meant that he could go to Hogsmeade any time he damn well pleased, it mostly meant that this was the last time he'd walk with Felicity down this road.

He really so no point in taking the carriages to town, and so was glad when Felicity agreed to walk. Despite the depressing thought of another last in progress, he was in high spirits, looking forward to spending the whole day with his girlfriend. He had galleons in his pocket, the prettiest girl in school on his arm, and the whole day ahead.

"You're going to slow," he teased the brown eyed blonde, poking her stomach before jogging ahead of her.

[Felicity Hjort]

It was definitely a day Felicity was looking forward to; Drew had asked her to spend the day with him and she wanted to. Actually, being as time was winding down and she knew it was affecting him, she wanted to spend every minute she could with him. After all, for the next three years, at least, it would be the most time she had with him and it was coming down to dragging every spare second she could to be with him. With his exams coming up at the end of the year a lot of their time together was spent in the library or elsewhere, doing just that, studying.

With an arm through Drew's, she chatted happily with him, glad to have the entire day ahead of them to spend together and not worry about studies or anything like that. As soon as Drew's fingers touched her, the blonde paused, taking a moment to pull her arms across the space giggling.

"If your legs weren't so long it wouldn't be so hard to keep up!" she told him jokingly, sticking her tongue out before taking off to try and meet with his pace, knowing that she wouldn't be able to easily unless he let her.

[Drew Thornton]

Drew ran ahead, doing a high kneed step bto show off exactly how long his legs actually were. Even as he moved forward, he slowed down a little to allow her to catch up. There was an unspoken understanding that the rule about not letting people win didn't apply to a foot race. It was much more fun to be caught and even by losing he won.

He took his slow down a bit farther and actually ran backwards past her. Then running forward he grabbed her up in his arms and continued towards the town.

"Too slow!" he teased before stopping and moving in front of her. "How about I piggy back you?"

[Felicity Hjort]

Laughing aloud at the act Drew put on, Felicity shook her head, but continued running to catch up, noticing how quickly she was able to do so when he slowed down. But when he pulled the act of actually running back past her, she stopped dead in her tracks and turned to watch him, mouth slightly gapping open. What was he doing now? But her thoughts paused quickly when he started forward again, and she quickly picked back up where she had left off, but not rapidly enough. Within moments Felicity found herself in his arms, being carried a short distance.

A squeal left Felicity and she giggled when he told her she was still moving too slowly for him. "Do you think I'm really that slow?" Giving a cheeky grin to him, she nodded, content with the thought of him carrying her. And even though she constantly reminded herself not to let him carry her too often for fear of the shape his back would be in if he did, she didn't mind in the least bit of being that close to him.

[Drew Thornton]

He had decided a while ago that his goal in life should be to make Felicity squeal and giggle like that as much as possible. His life would be perfect if he made it through the Auror Academy and could hear her giggle as much as possible.

"You're a snail's pace!" Drew answered back with a wide grin, putting her down so she could climb on his back. Of course, she wasn't all that slow, but compared to his long stride, there wasn't much of a chance of her keeping up.

She wasn't that big and definitely not that heavy, so Drew had no problem taking her on his back to town. If nothing else, it gave him the opportunity to have her close and wrapped around him. He'd have carried ten times her weight for that chance.

[Felicity Hjort]

"Only because your legs are freakishly long," she told him with a roll of her eyes. "I'm quick enough for average legged people." Of course, the blonde loved the length of his legs, they were perfect for him because she loved just how tall he really was. But with her feet back on the ground, Felicity leaned into her boyfriend to take a good whiff on his scent and grab a kiss from him before wandering around.

Pulling out of the kiss slowly, her fingers trailed down from his neck, across his chest, over his upper arm and around and partially down his back before placing her arms over his shoulders so she could climb up. It didn't take more than a little jump before she was able to move and settle herself, legs and arms wrapped loosely around, nose buried in her favourite spot.

"Mmmm..." she sighed contentedly into him. "Onward to Hogsmeade!" she whispered excitedly into his ear.

[Drew Thornton]

If there was anything that made his long legs buckle at the knees, it was her slow kiss and the way she trailed her fingers across his neck and chest. For a moment, he lost all focus, lost in her touch, thinking it wouldn't be so bad if he just tackled her to the ground and gave her a good snog right there on the side of the road.

But then she had latched herself onto his back and he instinctively grabbed hold to keep her on. Her breath in his ear got those butterflies goind and he willingly obeyed, galloping as fast as he could towards town.

There were a few other kids wandering around all ready, but Drew didn't pay much mind to them. His focus was on Felicity... and his stomach. It was that critical time between breakfast and lunch and Drew was hungry.

"Hey, this place is new!" he said, pointing to the board with a dragon winding across it. Had it really been his birthday when he had been to Hogsmeade last?

[Felicity Hjort]

Chatting along to him as he carried her into town, Felicity was in a particularly good mood. Her birthday was coming right up, they were free of school, and she was with Drew. Of course, summer was kind of the same, but at least right then she was without her family too. The only person she remotely had a chance of running into of her family was her grandmum or her mum, neither of which she expected to see that day.

When the blue-eyed Ravenclaw pointed out the little sandwich shoppe, her brown eyes gave it a once over and shrugged. "I haven't ever seen it before," she told him, confirming that to her knowledge it was indeed new. The sign was really neat, and it was an odd looking building as well, but it looked like a neat place to at least stop in and check out. And it was close enough to lunch time that they could grab an early meal if Drew wanted to. "We should go in and look, maybe get a cuppa or a bite to eat."

[Franco Masuoka]

The place was not still as full as Franco has expected it, knowing that today the inhabitants of Hogwarts School were visiting the village, but though he felt a little anxious he still did not give up hope that the business would be good today. It was just morning after all, he still had the whole day ahead.

Trying in not to worry in things that were out of his powers to fix, the man merely focused in attend the visitors the best he could and offer a friendly enviroment for the teen's customers. After make sure the few occupied tables were well served by Fatima, he quickly went to sever the order to the couple in one of the porch's swing.

"Your order is ready" he said kindly as placed the pair of milkshakes on a little side table. He set the napkins first and placed the drinks adorned with little sweet-made umbrellas at the top that stuck on a side of the glasses.

[Drew Thornton]

Drew did a short happy dance at the mention of food. It was hard not to love someone who understood his need to eat anytime, anywhere and of course it had been the reason he had mentioned the little shop as soon as he had spotted it.

"Only if you want to," he answered with a tease evident in his voice, already jogging over towards the new establishment. The rustic layout already made Drew feel comfortable and he was determined to try out one of the swings on the porch.

The server came out , placing a couple of drinks on the table, and Drew looked at the young man curiously. "I think... I think I know that guy," he said, surprised at the sight of an old friend. Franco had left Hogwarts years ago and while Drew had tried to write a few times but it was as if the boy had just disappeared off the face of the earth.

[Felicity Hjort]

Giggling when he moved while she clung on comfortably, Felicity snuggled against his ear, squishing her nose against him. The blonde immediately picked up on the tease he gave her, but she knew he knew she wanted to eat. At almost any time she could eat, now and then not, but she could usually manage to fit something in her stomach no matter the time or date. The hut looked really cute, something out of a picture book, but she'd never seen anything like it before in real life. It looked interesting and she wondered where the theme came from, though she liked the swings outdoors, too.

"Who is it?" she asked inquisitively once her vision had been disrupted by the man as he exited the building. Felicity didn't recognize him at all, so she figured it was someone from Allegra's year or before then. He had a dark complexion, one she knew wasn't native to the U.K. but that didn't necessarily mean anything either. If Drew knew him that meant three options for Felicity, she'd like him, hate him, or would constantly ruin things around him and Drew and make him hate her.

"Friend or foe?"

[Drew Thornton]

"Friend!" Drew answered excitedly, carefully letting Felicity down to the ground before making his way over to where the other boy stood. Each step he took was a little faster than the one previous, and the closer he got, the more he was certain that the young man serving costomers was his olde friend Franco.

The two boys had started off on rocky terms, had gone through a number of wrestling matches and fights, but in the end had been good friends. It had been frustrating and worrisome when the Peruvian had seemingly fallen off the face of the earth, and now there he was, just a few yards away.

By the time Drew had hit the porch, he was nearly running and there was no mistaking. This was definitley his old friend.

"FRANCO!" he cried out excitedly, leaping at his old buddy and grabbing him in a boistrous tackle that was meant to bring him down. It was probably not the most professional of greetings, and might possibly get Franco in trouble with the boss, but Drew couldn't help it.

[Franco Hikaru Masuoka]

Hikaru was just sat on the porch's swing at the other side of the little hutlike shop, slightly hidden by the side table just some distance from him, enjoying being rocked by the swing, watching people coming and going time to time, but mostly foccusing in the funny looks of them, wearing strange outfits or hats, having funny hair on the faces or funny pointy shoes.

And then he saw daddy re-appearing again and the boy smiled.

There you are daddy! you are missing the action! That guy that just entered! he has hair in his ears! did you see?

The little one held his arms up and leaned forward a little as saw daddy leaned too to take him in his arms when suddenly daddy was knocked out to a side missing the little one's hands as he just was leaving the security of have his but on the seat.

Hikaru did not quiet understood what had happend but just felt his hands and knees hit the floor first, followed by his face as his elbows fell under his own weight. The baby blinked in shock for a second not understanding where daddy had gone.

Uh? I fell? I fell... I FELL! DADDY'S GONE! WHERE IS DADDY WHERE IS MY NOSE!

"BWAAAAAHHHHH AHHHHHHHHH!!!! PAPAAAAAA!!!!!"

[Franco Masuoka]

Franco was just taking a breath when his eyes found the little one's, shiny bright eyes looking at him with that look of have discovered something new and funny in his little world. The man smiled back and seeing Hikaru raising his hands, Franco knew what to do and leaned down to pick the little boy, make him feel loved and that he had not forgotten him, as Franco suspected the kid could feel left apart some time when he was busy attending.

But just as his hand was about to take the kid from under his arms he hear some one yelling his name and before he could even react someone knocked him down on the floor. For a split second he wondered what had been all that but the cries of his baby made him turn back to reality and realize that the boy had actually fallen on the floor as he had not been able to catch him in time.

"Hikaru!" he called as pushed the guy over him and everything blocking his way aside, crawling in all four till reach the boy. The man sat on the floor, absent minded, as took the boy on his arms and sat him on his lap trying to quick check on him for any injure. But at that moment he was so worried about the boy that forgot the circumstances of the fall and just focused on the baby.

Hikaru's cheek was turning red and for a second Franco thought the baby got his lips cut but luckily it was just a scratch, though that did not calmed the man down that was still trying to ignore the baby's cries, keep calm and focus in make sure Hikaru was OK, checking the baby's palms that were red too and pulling up his pants to check the knees.

[Felicity Hjort]

Drew called out that apparently the guy was one of his friends, and next thing she knew he dropped her off his back and was in a rush to get to her person. Standing back awkwardly, eyes slightly wide and only getting larger the closer Drew got to the person. And then when he leaped at the other boy, Felicity's face turned into a large grin and she took a few steps forward, it had to be good if Drew was greeting him like that.

But when both boys hit the ground, and the child went down with them, Felicity started jogging slowly closer, needing to make sure the child was all right. As she got closer she stayed a little bit back, not wanting to approach, not when the man looked upset, which she could understand because of the child. However, he didn't even look in the least bit happy about Drew.

"Is he all right?" she asked carefully, her eyes flittering between her boyfriend and the other man. The baby didn't look for the good, but she hoped it wasn't anything.
