Drew figured Allegra would have plans with her quidditch guy and he saw no reason why he wouldn't get Felicity back home in time. New Years was a solid date for him and he beamed back, taking her gloved hand into his and kissing it lightly. "Yeah, I think we're good," he answered, raising an eyebrow in the hopes that she'd agree.
"So you want to check out the vendors first or what?' he asked, leading her towards the Leaky Cauldron and holding the door open to let her through first.

The blonde giggled when he kissed her hand, she loved the little things he did like that, it made her feel special. And how could she disagree with him when he did such things? Of course she thought they were good, there wasn't any way for her to say no when he looked like that and had just made the butterflies in the stomach do some really funny tricks. Nodding, she let herself by lead to Diagone, not sure what she really wanted to do first.
"Yes," she responded, after a moment of thinking what there was to do. The vendors were pretty neat, and they'd had some stories to tell the last time she was there with Lucas, she was sure others would to. She liked talking to them as much as she did looking at their wares. "I think the vendors would be good to look at first."
She also wanted to listen to the music that was playing too. Felicity was sure there'd be dancing along the way. He liked to do his happy dance, and he'd been a good dancer at the dance though the same couldn't have been said for her, but she liked to have fun. And dancing was fun. Really, anything with him was fun.

He wove his way through the crowd in the pub, planning to go straight to the back door, but on a whim taking her towards the back where the restrooms were instead. The main room was crowded and noisy, but this back hall was empty and much quieter.
"Guess what I'm wearing..." he said with a wide and goofy grin on his face. No, he hadn't planned on letting her in on that tidbit, but being right there where they had first met, he couldn't resist to stand on the spot and share. He now considered his snitch boxers to be his 'lucky draws' and only wore them when it was really important.

Felicity had nearly been knocked off her feet at the unexpected change of directions, but she figured if he had to go that badly, she shouldn't put up anything about it. After all, when one has to use the restrooms, they should use the restroom.
But, he had her caught off guard again, not sure what he was talking about. Guess what he was wearing? Taking a small step back, she looked him up and down, oblivious to what it was he was speaking of. "Well...you've got on a sweater, I saw that earlier. And you're wearing pants and boots," she added, really not sure what she was supposed to be guessing at. "Am I missing something?"
The smile on her face was a response to Drew's, but it was still a confused one.

Drew made a face at her, wondering how long it would take her to figure out. Weren't girls supposed to remember corney stuff like this? How come he remembered and she didn't? He decided not to think about that question to much and prompted her instead.
"You don't know where we are?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at her. He wasn't about to drop trou to help her remember, but he figured he could get her there without going to such extremes.

"Yes, we're at the Leaky Cauldron," she replied. She wasn't that bad with directions, besides, she'd read the sign before they entered. They were definitely at the pub. "And we're at the bathrooms in the Leaky Cauldron. Where we met."
The blonde hadn't forgotten that encounter, it had been quite a funny scene. All right, so it had scared her a little bit when he'd started pulling back some of his shorts to show her his boxers, but...wait, his boxers?
Her grin slowly growing, her brown eyes widening with glee, she giggled and began clapping her hands lightly. "You're wearing...!" she shouted, before realizing he probably didn't want the entire place knowing. "You're wearing your silky boxers, aren't you?" she whispered to him, her face bright. "The one's with the Golden Snitches, that glow-in-the-dark," she giggled in her soft tone. She hadn't forgotten what they looked like, nor what he'd told her. "The adorable ones."

Dang, he hadn't been expecting that much detail, but apparently she did remember their first meeting... and quite a bit about his underwear to boot. He grinned back at her before puting his arms around her waist and pulling her close. He was probably the only person in the wizarding world who found the bathrooms at the Leaky Cauldron to be even remotely romantic, but he didn't care.

Apparently she was right, though he didn't answer her. But the way he reacted with pulling her closer was a better answer than she'd been expecting, even if he hadn't given her an outright answer. Those particular boxers sure were adorable, and she still thought it was funny that she ended up liking the boy that wore them more than the boxers themselves.
"Am I right?" she asked, unable to contain the light giggling again. She wanted to know, and although nothing else would make sense, he might not have even been talking about the adorable boxers. Letting her arms find their way around his neck, she gently played with the ends of his hair, missing the beginnings of curls he had growing before they'd left Hogwarts for break.

"I was actually talking about my new socks," Drew answered, unable to avoid the tease, and he let go of her just long enough to pull up one pant leg to reveal that particular article of clothing. Of course, he was unable to keep it up very long, especially once her fingers found their way to his hair and he hummed a low giggle before pulling her back into his arms.
"Yeah, you're right," he finally admited with a smile as he leaned in to kiss her.

A flushed face is the nicest way to put what Felicity looked like when Drew told her he'd been talking about new socks. Had she really related all of the details to his boxers she remembered? No. She hadn't relayed all of the details. She had only said a few things, but even then, that was a lot to have been said.
On the other hand, she really didn't mind. She liked his boxers, and he knew she did. So there wasn't any reason for her not to remember them in great detail, besides they were the first boxers shown to her by a boy and she was constantly telling him how she thought they'd been adorable.
When he hummed his giggle, she grinned back at him. He made some funny noises sometimes. His giggle alone was enough to launch her into her own laughter, his grumbling noises he made when he wasn't entirely happy were cute too, even if sometimes he made them at her, and his hum was definitely adorable.
"You're wearing them?" she asked excitedly when he admitted she'd been correct the first time. However, there wasn't much time to voice her enthusiasm about it as he'd leaned in. It'd been over a week since the last time he'd kissed her like that, and she wasn't about to make a silly interruption.
Enjoying the sweetness of it, she didn't pull away like she usually did after a moment. No, this time she didn't want it to end so soon. She'd missed him, even if she felt like she really hadn't had the time to with everything she'd been doing. And true, there were other ways to show him she'd missed him, but she liked this way.

It felt like it had been ages since he had held her this close, tasted her kiss, smelled the vanilla in her hair, and while the bathroom hallway at the Leaky Cauldron was probably not the best place to kiss a girl, especially a nice girl like Felicity, he really didn't care.
It took some effort, but he finally pulled back, nuzzling her nose a bit. "I missed you," he said softly, giving her a crooked smile, almost apologizing for the location.

And he broke it first, though she was sure to make it hard to end, not wanting it to herself. Grinning back at him, she scrunched her nose a little when he nuzzled it. She liked when he did that, but that time it had tickled a little.
"I missed you, too," she answered quietly, standing up a little straighter to touch his lips lightly. Just over a week and look what it was doing, and even then it wasn't as though they were attached at the hip at Hogwarts, but she usually saw him at least once a day. She didn't know what was going to happen for the rest of break, after all, the week after New Years she was going back to the castle and she didn't know if he was planning on returning early or if he was waiting until the day they were due back. But at the moment it didn't really matter, he had his arms around her, he was holding her close, and he'd just given her another amazing kiss, what was there to argue with?
"But you do realize we're standing outside of the loo's, right?" she asked with a hint of laughter. If anyone her mum knew saw them there and relayed that sight, she didn't know how she'd be able to explain that, especially when it probably wasn't the best scene to be caught in.

"Yeah..." Drew drawled, unknowingly thinking along the same lines she had been. Not only was he worried Felicity's dad would hear about it but his family had enough connections in London that it could very easily get back to his mother that he had been snogging a girl in the back room of the Leaky Cauldron.
"But you did say it didn't matter what we did, right?" he continued, giving her a wide grin. "Then again..." He paused to stroke her hair. "This would probably be better in the snow under some fairy lights..." Yeah... that would be pretty amazing.

"No, it doesn't matter," she replied, giving her head a quick shake. There were some things that mattered, but she knew he wasn't talking about those things. Feeling his hand in her hair, she squirmed a little, feeling the prickles on her neck from the light tickling sensation. But, the squirming had helped her to move into him a little more, which was something she couldn't argue with.
"Everything's better in the snow," she replied with full confirmation on that particular fact. The snow was great fun, and it wasn't as though he didn't know her favourite time of year was when there was snow. "And with the fairy lights everywhere, it'll be really pretty in Diagon, because they reflect off of the snow, and it looks shimmery."
Though she was sure he already could've figured that out on his own, she couldn't help but say it. She loved the way the colours hit and made it look all glittery.

Drew smiled and nodded back, giving her another kiss- a quick one this time just because he couldn't resist. Her face lit up and she just looked so pretty when she talked about the snow.
"We should go then, huh?" he asked with a small sigh, wanting to join the festivities, but also selfishly wanting to keep her all to himself.
If only it were't the restroom hallway.
