"Drummer? Really?" Nessa asked, now extremely curious, "I'm not too sure what I want to do just yet. I was thinking about getting into the Auror force." She shrugged slightly, not really keen on talking about herself now. It was of great interest to Vanessa that Guy wanted to be a drummer. Her brother was a drummer, and he could play the guitar as well. They used to have their own little jams just in the basement where no one else ever heard. Vanessa would sing whatever her brother played on the guitar and she actually wasn't too awful a singer. She was rather good, if she did say so herself.
"My brother plays drums. And guitar. I used to sing along with him," she explained, repeating her thoughts out loud, "Drumming's a really cool thing, Guy. You should definitely pursue it."

Guy nodded, a smug look on his face now. He loved talking about music and the drums. He was pretty good at it and knew it, too. " That's pretty cool... Working for the Ministry and all. " He told her, thinking about how his uncle had worked with the Ministry for years and usually liked his job. As Nessa jumped back to the subject of Guy being a drummer he smiled slightly, knowing this was something he could talk about. " That's pretty awesome... Ever actually joined a band? " He asked her curiously. Guy then considered her next statement carefully. He nodded and said, " Yeah, I just couldn't stand not being able to make it in the music biz, " even he thought it was funny that he was using the slang term for business. " Like.. I would love to do that for a living, but only if I knew I had it made, you know? " He said, revealing that he was a little insecure about what it was he actually was going to do to make a living.

"Nah, it was only ever just me and my brother Tyler," the Hufflepuff confessed, taking another sip. Her drink was nearly gone, so she left it on the counter for a while so she wouldn't finish it all straight away. Turning herself to face Guy head-on, she reached out and touched his hand that rested on the bar, flashing him a grin.
"It's a hard industry to get in to," she told him, "But just keep playing, you know? And if you're really any good, someone will find you and it could turn into something huge. Don't give up on it if it's something you really want to do." Nessa smiled at him and patted his hand gently. The girl let her eyes meet Guy's for a moment and linger there before she turned away again.

Guy smiled as Nessa told him it was only ever her and her brother. He had been in a few ' garage band ' projects before and they were the more relaxed kind, where you just play for fun. He cast a glance down to her hand on his and then looked back up to Nessa, wondering what she was doing but not really minding. He agreed with her, music was one of the hardest things to dive into, but once you did you were kind of committed. He grinned as she gave him the advice to stick with it. As her eyes met his own his grin softened into a smile and he randomly said, " You have really pretty eyes, you know? " He had said it before he even realized it and looked a little embarassed afterwards, lifting his empy butterbeer bottle if only to look at it and then set it back down again. He glanced at Nessa a little shyly, feeling somewhat exposed after giving her the compliment.

Nessa was slightly shocked by his comment, but she looked back at him anyways, smiling still but blushing now. She even let a quiet giggle escape her before she tried to regain composure. It wasn't exactly that easy to do, considering a cute guy had just told her she had pretty eyes. "Thanks," the girl mumbled, trying to turn from Guy but unable to tear her eyes away, "You're really cute, Guy."

Guy grinned slightly as he watched the blush creep onto her cheeks. It made him chuckle a little to see her react that way to his compliment mostly because he had surpised himself by even saying it in the first place. He nodded and said, " No problem. " He watched as she tried to turn away but didn't seem to either want to or couldn't.
"You're really cute, Guy." As he heard this he looked up to meet Nessa's eyes again with a crooked grin. " Thanks, you're not so bad yourself. " He joked with a teasing expression, because in reality he did think Vanessa was rather cute.

"Oh, stop!" Nessa laughed, her girly giggle coming out again, unable to stop it before it did. The colouring in the girl's cheeks deepened even more and she sighed slightly. Not wanting to take a chance by opening her mouth, Nessa quickly stuffed the end of the bottle in her yap and took a sip, stalling again before she spoke. When she'd swallowed, Vanessa found that, for the first time, she had nothing to say. All she could do was look at Guy and hope he had something up his sleeve.

Guy chuckled once again as he heard the Huffle's giggle. It made him laugh for some reason. He, too, took a drink from his butterbeer, draining the remains from it before looking back over to Ness, " So you want to stick around here for another drink or go wander around? " He asked, seeing as how both of them were done with their butterbeers they could either walk around the festival and do some sight-seeing or stay there and talk. Guy felt like going for a walk, but he was going to leave it up to Nessa.

Leaning forward, Vanessa rested her chin in her hand and watched Guy, trying to decide what she wanted to do. Whatever they did, she figured they'd be able to talk and that was what she really wanted to do the most. Now that she was warmed up again, the Hufflegirl supposed it would be alright to venture back out into the cold and see what there was at the Festival. "Maybe we should venture back out there," Vanessa suggested. She pulled her sweater back on, zipping it up and pulling her cloak around her neck.

Guy could feel her eyes trained on him as she weighed the two options they had. Stay inside with the warmth, or venture on out and see what there was to be seen. He tapped his fingers lightly on his empty bottle and then looked back up to Nessa as she suggested they go back outside. " That sounds like an excellant idea. " He told her while standing up and putting his jacket on. He reached into the pocket of the worn leather jacket and retrieved his beanie cap. He grinned as he placed it on his head. He loved the scarlet red cap with golden stitching. It made him feel pride for his house no matter where he was. " Shall we be off? " He suggested as he held the door open for Nessa.

Another giggle escaped before it was detected and stopped but Nessa just let it slide this time. She knew there was no use in trying to stop it when it was going to happen anyways. Noticing the hat Guy had just pulled on, Vanessa smiled at him as she exited the pub. "Love the hat," she told him, doubling back to grab her Hufflepuff scarf before forgetting it in the pub. Wrapping it around her neck, Vanessa walked out into the street again, waiting for Guy to catch up.
"So where to now?" she asked him, letting him decide where they'd go now, considering she'd picked the pub.

Guy grinned a bit as Nessa giggled again. He had started to say thanks to her compliment about his hat when she went back for her own scarf. He noted the colors were also supportive of her own house. Guy followed Nessa back out into the street and then offered her his arm. He then answered, " Wherever.. the wind take us. " He smiled as he said this and then pointed left because it happened to be the hand he wasn't doing anything with. He then asked her randomly, " So what do you think about facial piercings? " Guy was curious because he wanted to know what she thought of him having his lip pierced. And tounge. And ears too, but having those pierced didn't seem too out of the ordinary.

Grinning, Vanessa took Guy's arm as it was offered to her and looped her own around it, pulling herself closer to the boy. She looked in the direction his hand had gone and nodded, seeing a considerable amount of people gathered around something down that way.
For a moment, Vanessa hemmed and hawed over her answer to his question. "I don't really mind it," she answered finally, looking over at him and smiling, reaching up and touching his lip ring for only a moment, "I think that really suits you, though."

Turning his head slightly to look over at Nessa he couldn't help the grin that spread its way across his face. Guy's lower lip twitched slightly into a soft smile as she touched the silver ring. He said, " I got it done when I turned fifteen. " After telling her that he stuck out his tounge to reveal a silver stud. " What about that one, does that suit me well? " He asked with a joking tone. He had been slightly suprised when his father had let him get all his piercings because even though he was laid-back, there were some things he didn't like. But Guy was pleased when his dad told him that body art was better then other things he could get himself into. He was proud of his body piercings, but the real fun would start when he got his first tattoo.

"Wow," was all Nessa could come up with when Guy stuck his tongue out and she saw the stud in that as well. It did in fact suit him just as well as the lip ring did. "It does, actually," she answered when her speech returned, "That's really cool. Makes you so much cuter." There it was again, the verbal vomit that just kept coming. Vanessa bit her bottom lip slightly, hoping she wasn't making things awkward. She had a talent for doing that.
