The Leaky Cauldron was quiet on the Saturday Morning, but the kitchen was all a bustle. Today was English breakfast day! Oliver and his younger brother and sister sat in a middle table, talking and laughing as they waited for their food. His brother, a red-haired, brown-eyed, mischievous boy was ten years old, while Oliver's sister, with dark-hair and blue eyes, just like Oliver, was seven.
The fact that he could still converse to them was a testament to their maturity, not his childishness. As a waitress began bringing out the food, the kids laughed with excitement. Just as the waitress brought out the last of the food, she shot Oliver a wink.
The waitress was young and pretty, and Oliver's gaze followed her back into the kitchen. His sister giggled. More to change the subject then anything else, Oliver said, "Let's eat, shall we?" And began spooning food onto his plate. When he was finished, he had a hearty meal of fried slice, sausages, fried mashed potatoes from supper last night, bacon, fried eggs, and a mug of coffee.

What these people didn't know was that an eleven year old was hiding underneath the table playing with Bluey the puffskein. It was probably a bit odd that Hannah was hiding underneath a table when a family was eating their breakfast, but she had to bring out bluey sometime, she was starting to feel bad for him being locked up in her room all the time.
"Bluey!, no!" Hannah hissed as the puffskein wriggled it's way away from her and poked it's head out from underneath the table. Hannah lunged for her puffskein and tried to make a grab for it, but bluey was too fast and the puffskein had managed to make it's way out from underneath the table and Hannah had managed to bang her face into a side leg of a chair. "Oww" Hannah moaned, rubbing the side of her face and wondering why it was that she always seemed to hurt herself in front of strangers.

Oliver had only lifted his fork (impaling a sausage) to his mouth when he heard a small moan from beneath the table. His sister paled. "Monsters!" Oliver put his fork down, taking a look under the table. There was a small girl, who didn't look much older then his brother. She was rubbing the side of her head. "Hello." He said, surprised. "Are you alright?" It was not everyday one discovered a small girl underneath their breakfast table, but that wasn't a reason not to be friendly.

"I will be" Hannah replied, rubbing her face and feeling a lump forming on the side of her cheek. If Hannah didn't watch out, she was going to end up looking slightly bruised for her first day at Hogwarts and that wouldn't be no good.
Hannah watched horror-struck, as Bluey wriggled it's way up the boy's chair, made a flying leap from the chair onto the table and Hannah watched as Bluey wriggled it's way towards the boy's plate and started to nibble on the boy's egg's.
"Bluey!, no!" Hannah quickly got to her feet and forgot that the table was above her and when Hannah stood up, she hit her back, causing Hannah to fall back on to the ground again. "Oww" Hannah whined, her back now hurting as much as her face was.

Hearing the girl's shout, he looked around, but could see no one. Something blue caught his eye, and he turned his attention to his plate. A small, blue, furry...thing was nibbling with a little mouth at his fried eggs. "Oi! Get your own eggs, little fellow." Oliver said, laughing. He picked the the furry thing up within thumb and forefinger and examined it. "What is this?" He asked the girl, genuinely interested. "Cool." His brother breathed.

"A puffskein" Hannah croaked out from underneath the table, she was sore, her face hurt, her back hurt and she was going to kill the puffskein and lock him up in her room for the rest of he time she was in Diagon.
"His name's Bluey" Hannah choked out from the slightly dusty floor of the cauldron and tried to crawl out from underneath the table. "I... can you help me?, I seem to be stuck" It wasn't that she was stuck as such, it was the fact that she was having trouble moving and that she felt sore all over.

Without hesitation, Oliver reached out, grasping Hannah's wrist and hoisting her out from under the table. "Are you hungry? Sit down, there's plenty of breakfast for everybody." He asked her. "No there isn't!" The small boy said in a huff. Normally, Oliver wouldn't have been this friendly with a stranger, but he had always had a soft spot for small children. He was very protective of his smaller siblings.

Hannah swayed slightly on her feet, feeling dizzy from being lifted up so quickly. "I.. I'm not sure... I'm not feeling very well" Hannah stated, falling back wards and falling down into a sitting position on the cauldron's floor again.
Hannah rubbed her face and then she rubbed her back, feeling completely sore all over. "I... do you have any water there?" Hannah asked, continuing rubbing the sore bits on her back, "Maybe something for the pain as well?, my back is really sore" Hannah didn't think that the boy would have anything for her sore back, hopefully, the pain would go away if she kept rubbing at the sore spots.
