"Well, the fries, yeah," Allegra agreed as she looked over their dining choices. "But nothing beats a Double-Double, Animal style. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm!" Two patties, double cheese, grilled onions on a greasy bun. She did a little yummy dance to punctuate her feelings on the matter, swaying back and forth in time to her Mm's. Now that they were talking about burgers and fries, she was starting to feel like nothing else would suffice.

Chad couldn't help but chuckle slightly at the yummy dance Allegra was doing. For a moment, he just watched her, wondering. She wasn't like anyone he'd ever met before. She was beautiful, she was nice, she fun. How had Chad ended up with her at the Festival. Allegra seemed to be too good for him. But he wasn't complaining, she had agreed to go with him so he guessed she must have liked something about him. A grin was creeping back onto his lips and he just smiled at her.
How convenient was it that the next stand had just the thing they'd been discussing? Burgers and fries right there, smelling delicious and Chad knew they had to stop here. "I think I've found my food," he told her with a wink, already getting his money out, "Do you want something here?"

Allegra squealed eagerly when she saw what Chad had found. Of course, she knew that they would never be as good as the ones back home (on a day trip to France a few years back, they had served her meatloaf on a bun and called it a hamburger) but it would suffice, she felt.
"Yes! Definitely!" she agreed, ready to pay for her own if Chad only ordered for himself.

The squeal had been enough to tell Chad that yes, she would like something here as well. He smiled at her and turned back to the man at the stand to place their order. "Good sir, I will have..." Chad thought for a moment, knowing he was hungry but not sure if he felt like being a pig, "Uhh...double cheeseburger and fries. What about you?" Chad looked over at Allegra, waiting for her to order.

"The same," Allegra piped up, grabbing hold of Chad's arm in her excitement. It wasn't often she got to have a decent burger on this side of the pond and she hoped this one wasn't too disappointing.
Now, possibly add a couple of ales into the mix of things and they'd have a proper American meal to enjoy.

"Impressive," Chad said in awe as she ordered the same thing he had. He looked back at the man as he wrote up their orders. Now Chad was really hungry as the smell of their food was wafting even more into his nose. "Anythin' t'drink?" the man asked them. Thinking for a moment, Chad finally answered with a favourite. "Butterbeer, please. You?" turning it over to Allegra again.

Allegra paused for a moment, finding Chad's order a little surprising. Then again, she didn't know him all that well, so maybe she shouldn't be, but after their first meeting in the pub, she was sure he'd order a beer and she had gotten ready for one herself.
Well, she couldn't order one now. It just wouldn't be right. Perhaps he was trying to show her the nice-boy side of himself more. She actually liked that.
"The same," she echoed with a grin. Butterbeer was good with just about anything.

Chad smiled at Allegra for a brief moment and then turned back to the man as he told them how much it all cost. Considering Chad's writer was too lazy to come up with a price that seemed reasonable, he decided to skip it. Reaching into his pocket, Chad pulled out some money and handed it to the man and he exchanged it for their drinks. "Keep the change," Chad told the man with a nod. He took the bottles and handed one over to Allegra, opening it for her as he did so. He grinned at her and winked.
"Here you go, kids," the man said, passing their food over to them now. Chad tucked his bottle of butterbeer under his arm and took their food, snatching a fry off it as he passed the other tray to Allegra. He nodded to the man and said a muffle 'thank you' before turning and looking at Allegra again. "Wanna sit?" he asked, pointing to the few tables set up around them.

Allegra took the offered tray, giving him her shocked and appalled look when Chad stole a fry. "I see how it is... hand me the food and then I don't get any fries, hmmm?" she teased before turning and giving her own thanks to the vendor.
She looked out over the area that was set up and nodded to an empty table on the edge under a tree. "How about that one?" she suggested.

"Here," Chad said with a grin. He picked up two fries off his tray and placed them on Allegra's to make up for the one he'd stolen and an extra one, just because he could. Chad chuckled softly, nodding in response to her suggestion as his mouth was full with a few fries again. Chad jogged up to get to the table first, wiping the light dusting of snow off the chairs before they sat down on them so they didn't have to deal with wet pants later. Setting down his own tray, the Quidditch ref waited for Allegra to sit before he did so they could start eating.
"Hurry up, you," he called to her with a laugh.

"Ooooh... French fries with interest!" Allegra claimed with a pleased grin. Chad ran ahead and grabbed the table, which was good as she noticed another couple eyeing it. Had they been elderly or a family, she would have gladly given it up, but now, it was an even match and they got it first.
She put the tray down and looked at him with a smirk. "I was busy carrying a tray of food thank you very much," she teased. "It was quite heavy with all of those extra fries and all, you know."

"Oh, I'm sure it was," he retorted with a snort, "I could always lighten the load for you. Make it a little easier." Chad smirked back and sat down, pulling himself up to the table and getting ready to dig in. He lifted the top bun off the hamburger to inspect it, seeing that there was nothing on it but cheese. Chad frowned, looking over his shoulder back at the stand. There were only packets of the condiments sitting there. "Want some ketchup or something for that?" Chad asked, already standing and ready to go back and get whatever they needed.

Allegra made a face back at him as she took a seat and also inspected her burger. She usually didn't care for the whole lettuce and tomato deal, but she really didn't like it dry either. "And mustard... and mayo if they have it... and maybe a pickle?" she asked thinking that what it really needed was a hunk of avocado and an ortega chilie. Now THAT made a good burger.

Chad nodded and headed back over to the stand. He looked through the containers holding the packets of condiments and picked out what they needed. He grabbed some ketchup and mustard and a packet of mayo for Allegra. Chad wasn't really a big fan of it so he only took one. He looked along the table, searching for pickles as well and spotted them. Carefully, with the use of a plastic fork, he picked one out for her and carried it back toward the table. Half-way back to the table, Chad stopped and realized he'd forgotten salt and pepper. With a groan, he turned and back tracked.
Once he'd grabbed a few packets of each and a couple of vinegar, Chad figured he had everything now and carefully tried to walk back to their table. But that was when a couple rather rambunctious kids decided to run in front of him and knock everything out of his hands. "Oh, come on!" Chad complained rather loudly. Hanging his head for a moment, he sighed and then glanced up to catch Allegra's eye. After the pissed off moment had passed, Chad couldn't help but laugh.
Then he turned around and tried again.
This time, Chad put everything into his pockets and used to hands to try and carry a pickle back over to Allegra. "Well, that was unnecessarily difficult," he chuckled once he'd joined her at the table again. Emptying his pockets, Chad passed the fork over to the girl. "Here ya go," he told her, "I hope that tastes spectacular."

"Oh and napkins!" she called out when Chad walked off, but she wasn't sure he heard her. He seemed to be having difficulties juggling all of the little packages and almost getting run over by a couple of kids didn't help any. She bit on her lip and hid a giggle behind her hand, not wanting him to think she was laughing at his misfortune.
When he made it back on the second trip, she applauded, taking the pickly gratefully and placing it next to her burger. "Oooo!" You got vinegar!" she cried out excitedly, having forgotten that on this side of the pond it was okay to eat your chips that way.
