Delphi continued chugging her butterbeer down almost half way in one go before putting it down and wiping her mouth with her sleeve.
"So, Delphi, I know the school was relatively vague on the details of your task. You said you were sent here to assist Scarlett - what kind of assisting do you reckon that you will be doing exactly? Tournament strategy, personal assistant...body guard?"
"Well, the headmaster was unable to make it to the tournament, so he hired me to help you guys out with tournament strategy and keep an eye out for both of you, you know, just in case some of the other schools champions decide to take some cheap shots at you right before any task to increase their chances of winning." Delphi replied. Ironically, the headmaster gave her the go ahead to do the same to the other champions should the opportunity arise.

"So, Delphi, I know the school was relatively vague on the details of your task. You said you were sent here to assist Scarlett - what kind of assisting do you reckon that you will be doing exactly? Tournament strategy, personal assistant...body guard?"
"Well, the headmaster was unable to make it to the tournament, so he hired me to help you guys out with tournament strategy and keep an eye out for both of you, you know, just in case some of the other schools champions decide to take some cheap shots at you right before any task to increase their chances of winning."
Now they were talking about the Tournament again. But Scarlett just wanted to relish this day without thinking about it. And although the girls from Beauboxton had left a few minutes ago – so that they couldn’t try to harken at them – she didn’t want to talk about strategy or something like that. After taking a huge pull from her cup she put it boisterous back on the table. "Stop it, please! Don’t talk about the Tournament any longer. We should enjoy our time out here at this tiny village! Let’s talk about ‚normal‘ things." She turned her head towards Delphini. "Do you have any interesting hobbies, Delphi? We should start to get to know each other a little bit better, don’t ya think? Or do you have a passion? I, for example, love the Sea. Sadly I don’t have enough vacation to visit it as often as I wish to do."

Shane had shrugged his shoulders slightly in agreement with his friend turned team mate. They should enjoy the time that they had to spare to relax and enjoy the culture of Hogwarts before being thrusted into competition. While Scarlett dabbled in small talk with the newcomer, Shane couldn't help but to peer around to see if he could spot a familiar face. One he had been avidly trying to avoid since the embarrassing incident on the Quidditch pitch. Reliving those moments, Shane shook his head at himself internally, thinking about how Emily must have thought of him to be such an idiot. She didn't know the half of it.

"Well not really" Delphi stammered as she finished the rest of the mug of butterbeer and sat it down before wiping her mouth with the sleeve of her jacket. " Unless you count work as a hobby. Back in the states I work as a Scourer so that takes up most of my time, although I do take side jobs occasionally such as this."
Delphi noticed Shane seemed to be looking for something or someone around the pub.
"Looking for something?" she asked him curiously.

"Well not really" " Unless you count work as a hobby. Back in the states I work as a Scourer so that takes up most of my time, although I do take side jobs occasionally such as this." At the first moment Scarlett wasn’t sure if she should laugh or spit out the butterbeer. But then she noticed that Delphi’s words weren’t so different from her own point of view. She gulped her drink and gave a short answer. "Well, work. Some kind of work can be extremely time-consuming so that you haven’t much time for hobbies. I understand. Don’t get me wrong – I love my job as a model but sometimes I also realize that it took me so much time and energy that I’m not like normal girls at my age and don’t have time for many things they do…" Unlike Delphi Scarlett didn’t realize that Shane was looking around through the bar. "Looking for something?" The blonde girl just starred at her counterpart for some seconds, looking like she had a questionmark on her face because she thought Delphi still was talking to her. But then she understood that she approached Shane. So she also curiously looked at her team-mate.

"Looking for something?"
Shane's attention was brought back to planet earth - or the Three Broomsticks to be more specific as Delphi's voice grounded him back into the conversation. "What? Oh, it's nothing. Just - they don't have many places like this back home in the city. It's...nice," Shane remarked with ease, giving the girls a soft grin. And secretly relieved that he wouldn't have to face Emily, yet at least.

"You just looked like you had something on your mind, Shane."
Delphi stood up from the table grabbing her empty mug of butterbeer. "Next drink is on me guys," she said as she began to walk away from the table. "Be right back," she said as she started to debate in her head what kind of real drink she should bring back.

There it was again. Shane’s unusual behavior. Even Delphi, who didn’t knew him before, recognized that something seemed to be not right. "What? Oh, it's nothing. Just - they don't have many places like this back home in the city. It's...nice," Well, there were places like this at home. But they didn’t visit them officially during their school time. But Scarlett kept her mouth shut. It wasn’t necessary to mention this. "You just looked like you had something on your mind, Shane." Oh yes, he really did! But what? What was going on in his mind since they made their way to Hogsmeade? "Next drink is on me guys," "Be right back," "Thank you, Delphi, I appreciate it."
The blonde girl waited until Delphini had walked over to the bar. But then she couldn’t kept her lips sealed any longer. "Shane, are you really okay? It’s just… Well, call it a feeling or something like that, but to me it seems like something’s going on in your mind? Do you wanna talk about it?" She wasn’t sure if he would like to talk to her about a personal problem but maybe it would be easier for him talking about it to a girl than to his male mates. Shane had always been one of the cool guys. And most of those cool guys didn’t talk about their emotions and so on…

"Next drink is on me guys," "Be right back,"
Shane nodded along with his blonde headed friend, "That's very kind of you, thanks!" Shane grinned graciously as he watched Delphi twirl around and high tail it towards the bar top.
"Shane, are you really okay? It’s just… Well, call it a feeling or something like that, but to me it seems like something’s going on in your mind? Do you wanna talk about it?"
It didn't take long for Scarlett to address the elephant in the room, or more like Shane's distracting emotional distress. He sighed and pondered his thoughts for a few seconds as he was hesitant to tell her. Yet, she was his best friend. Scarlett and him had been through a lot together and if anyone would understand what he's going through on the inside it would surely be her.
"It's just, well...," Shane exhaled the deep breath he had inhaled to help with his nerves, a trick he had hoped the Butterbeer would've done by now, "It's Sirius. I don't know what it is, whether it's the nerves of the Tournament or something about being here - but I just can't stop thinking about him. It's almost as if....," A chuckle broke through his frown, as he was almost too embarrassed to say the next part, "...As if he's here. Watching us. I don't know," Shane shook his head as he nervously scratched the back of his neck, "Yeah. I sound crazy."

Scarlett knew that Shane wasn’t comfortable when speaking about his feels but she also felt that he should talk about what was going on in his head this time. And luckily Shane also thought so. Finally he started to explain – of course, in his own way of behavior. (Gosh, she so loved his manners!)
"It's Sirius. I don't know what it is, whether it's the nerves of the Tournament or something about being here - but I just can't stop thinking about him. It's almost as if....,"
"...As if he's here. Watching us. I don't know,"
"Yeah. I sound crazy."
"Oh, Shane, you don’t sound crazy," she said while she reached out her hand to hold his one. "It's just normal. You miss your friend. And you hope that he will report to you again one day." Scarlett was sure that she would feel like this if she would be in his place. "But you also have to try to understand him, too. Maybe he isn’t ready to report because he still have to fight with his feelings and the whole situation. Perhaps he wanted to have a break from school until he'd have learn how to deal with it…" She paused for a moment and sighed. There was still another possibility but that one made her feel sad and sorry for her friend. "Or maybe… he wants to get rid of everything that reminds him of his old life…" She had to make another pause because she had to struggle against tears. Thinking about Shane’s and Sirius' fates made her upset. She somehow could feel their pain for her own. "But," she kept on talking whilst trying to cover her own anxiety, "I’m sure he'll soon regret a decision like this and find himself missing his old friends. And then he would call you or write a letter." Again she had to stop for a moment because she had to snivel a bit. And now there also were some tears in her eyes. But she managed to gave Shane a smile anyway. "Oh, think about that he already did so but you didn’t receive his letter because you’re now at Hogwarts for the Tournament!" The blonde girl released the hand of her friend and pointed a finger at him instead. She also didn’t give him the chance to answer and kept on talking. To be honest there were some moments in her life when she liked to be at the helm. For example this moment because she tried so hard to cheer Shane up that she didn’t want to give him the chance to say something that could made her fail. "So don’t be so impatient, my friend!" At least she had to laugh - just a silent laugh, of course, because she didn’t want anybody starring at them.
"Or you try to ask Emily! Maybe she’d be able to bring light into the darkness…"

"Or you try to ask Emily! Maybe she’d be able to bring light into the darkness…"
"Emily?" An uncontrollable look of confusion overcame Shane's face as he was slightly bewildered at Scarlett's mention of the Quidditch loving Hogwarts student. After his emotional and somewhat eerie encounter with her on the sports pitch, it was interesting to him that Scarlett would mention her especially since he was trying to stay as far away from her as possible. Yet, Shane knew that Scarlett always had his best interest in mind and always knew what to say. Scarlett really was Shane's true north, "You're right. Maybe if I talk to Emily, I can clear my head and get my mind back into the game. How do you do that? Y'know, always know the right thing to say?" Shane chuckled lightly as some warmth crept back into his smile.

"Emily?" Suddenly Scarlett felt bad like she had said something wrong. There was a pitiful look on Shane’s face. But true to form he he soon got back to normal and put his inner gentleman to use. "You're right. Maybe if I talk to Emily, I can clear my head and get my mind back into the game. How do you do that? Y'know, always know the right thing to say?" "Oh, Shane, you’re such a charmer. But, well, I guess it’s because many times you’re like an open book to me." Scarlett really loves Shane’s smile. It always felt like an infectious laugh. Unsurprisingly she had to chuckle and smile, too. "Let me give you an advise – never try to play poker!" Now she really had to laugh out loud.
"I’m sorry. Please, don’t mind me," she apologized while still chuckling. "But if you’ll ask Emily about Sirius you probably kill two birds with one stone." Suddenly she stopped because a horrible thought came to her mind. "Oh my gosh! Maybe you’ll get answers… or we are going to set something in motion… What if Emily doesn’t know anything about Sirius? We still have no clue what’s their true family situation."

"Oh my gosh! Maybe you’ll get answers… or we are going to set something in motion… What if Emily doesn’t know anything about Sirius? We still have no clue what’s their true family situation."
There could be many outcomes to talking to Emily and gaining insight from her point of view on the tragic situation, however the fact that Emily may possibly not even have an idea that Sirius had gone missing hadn't come across his mind until now. A startling expression dawned upon his face at the possible revelation as he slightly frowned. His gaze remained on Scarlett as he was rendered speechless momentarily, before peering over his shoulder at the door, "If she doesn't...then she deserves to know. Better yet, from someone close to Sirius. Well, was," Shane announced rather grimly as he caught a glimpse of Delphi through the bar window on the other side, lighting up a cigarette. His sights narrowed in on the mysterious character as he still wasn't sure how to take this rough and tough broad, "What are your thoughts on Delphi?" Shane pivoted back around in his seat as he faced Scarlett once more with his inquiry, "Kind of...odd, isn't it? Her showing up for you now before the tournament...and why were we not notified that she would be arriving to service you?" Shane shook his head lightly in confusion. Something didn't seem right, and it wasn't the butterbeer talking.

"If she doesn't...then she deserves to know. Better yet, from someone close to Sirius. Well, was," For a moment Scarlett kept quiet. There was this serious look on Shane’s face. That one many people didn’t see very often. Most of the other students thought Shane always would be a ray of sunshine. But she knew that he could be so much more. And she really liked both sides of him. Especially when he appearde to be more mature than herself. "I guess you’re right," she said while starring at the butterbeer in her hands.
"What are your thoughts on Delphi?" Well, that was an unexpected change of subject. "Kind of...odd, isn't it? Her showing up for you now before the tournament...and why were we not notified that she would be arriving to service you?" "I… I think she’s nice." She knew that she had given one of these typical answers that didn’t say anything at all. But she didn’t knew Delphi good enough to have a clear picture of her in her mind. "But it’s not as odd as you think. Before we headed to Hogwarts my parents told me that I should take a bodyguard with me." She noticed that she raised her voice and paused for a moment to calm down herself. "I told them that I won’t. And after a long arguement they had agreed. Maybe they made an agreement with our school that they sent Delphi instead of a bodyguard." Once more Scarlett paused and reached out her hands to Shanes. "We shouldn’t forget that Delphi is just doing her job. But we can help her doing it instead of making it worse if we try to be kind to her."

"But it’s not as odd as you think. Before we headed to Hogwarts my parents told me that I should take a bodyguard with me." "I told them that I won’t. And after a long arguement they had agreed. Maybe they made an agreement with our school that they sent Delphi instead of a bodyguard." "We shouldn’t forget that Delphi is just doing her job. But we can help her doing it instead of making it worse if we try to be kind to her."
Shane listened intently to every word that Scarlett spoke. He always trusted her word as she was a bit more wiser than most witches and wizards their age given her experience. Though, he spoke from a place of care and concern and if his nerves hadn't already been shaken before, they were most certainly alarmed with the arrival of his stranger. Shane dropped his head to their interlaced hands, his thumb gently caressing the top of Scarlett's supple, dainty hands. Their affections towards one another had been growing so strong, that Shane was blinded by how natural it was becoming.
"You're right...I just," Shane paused for a moment before breaking contact with their embracing hands to look up at her with a shed of concern, "...I just don't wanna loose you. And I know that's why Delphi may be here but, we shouldn't let our guard down so easily. Things are about to get crazy around here, and I want you to know that I won't let anything bad happen to you." Shane spoke protectively as he assured Scarlett of his intentions to keep her safe from harm's way.

Scarlett relished Shane’s touch. They had become very good friends during the last years. But sometimes Scarlett felt more than just friendship. She often wondered if Shane felt it, too. But she never dared to tell him. What if he didn’t reciprocate this feelings?
"You're right...I just," It wasn’t his voice which roused her out of her thoughts. It was the fact that he had broke their contact. "...I just don't wanna loose you. And I know that's why Delphi may be here but, we shouldn't let our guard down so easily. Things are about to get crazy around here, and I want you to know that I won't let anything bad happen to you." "Shane… I…" She didn’t know what to say because she really felt flattered that he wanted to protect her and didn’t want to loose her. Unfortunately there had been a few situations in which she had to be protected by others. Maybe she was a bit too naive sometimes… But although she didn’t want to become a person with prejudices. "Thank you, Shane," she finally got her voice back and started to react to his words. "It’s good to know to have a friend like you. But please, give me your word that you don’t do something rash. We should give her a fair chance. But you’re right, we also should be careful." Scarlett took her glass and presented it to Shane to clink glasses with him. "And last but not least we should enjoy our spare freetime. Cheers!"

Shane nodded in agreement. Delphi was their guest and was supposedly there to help keep Scarlett safe. Her safety and security was what Shane wanted more than anything in this world. This stranger gave off a vibe that was rather offbeat to Shane, yet he would respect Scarlett's wishes and would no press his querys regarding Delphi's motives any longer. He would watch Delphi closely as long as she was around, however, and anything that strikes out of line would give Shane ammo to shoot his case. Yet for now, Shane would focus on enjoying this special partnership that him and Scarlett were about to embark on as team mates of the Triwizard Torunament.
"To fair chances," Shane's serious manner melded into a soft grin as he clanked his glass against Scarlett's gently before taking a celebratory sip.

Scarlett was relieved that Shane at least gave his word to be polite and don’t rush anything. Although she suspected that he would be the one who would protect her if that woman shouldn’t be what she was supposed to be. She could be really happy to call him a close friend. "To fair chances," She often clanked her glass against someone else’s glasses but it never felt the way when she did it with him. And she often saw people acting celebratory but somehow she got the feeling that there was a roguish glint in Shane's eyes. So she suddenly had to giggle before she could take a sip on her own. "Shane, you… wisecracker! I’m not sure if you’re serious. I mean your behavior not your words. You’re just… Ah, it looks so funny when you act like important people who says important things, you know? And sorry, I don’t wanna laugh about you. But… Well…" She stopped because of another giggle which she couldn’t supress. Then she took her glass and showed her own foolish side. She raised it again and coughed slightly as if she wanted to deliver a speech. "First of all I want to say a word or two..." She made a short pause before she went on saying: "Blah blah blah!" She had to laugh out loud and when she wanted to take a sip of her drink she accidently spilled her blouse with some butterbeer. "Gosh, Oh no!"

"First of all I want to say a word or two..."
"Blah blah blah!"
"Gosh, Oh no!"
Shane still bore a grin on his face as his eyebrows furrowed in a state of slight confusion. His friend wasn't drunk already, was she? Shane never knew Scarlett to be much of a lightweight, but then again, they went straight for the drink without even contemplating the pub food menu. Shane was pinched with slight dread as he watched the wheels of the train slightly unhinge, and then begin to go off the rails as he witnessed Scarlett spill her drink on herself.
Shane gasped slightly, however was quick to come to the rescue with a wad of napkins that had been placed on their table long before their arrival. "Scarlett one, blouse zero," Shane chuckled lightly as he handed the napkins to his tipsy friend, "Do you think it's a good idea that we catch some fresh air with our new friend?" Shane offered the suggestion as opposed to telling her what they were going to do, as he knew there was no point in starting an argument with someone who's had a few sips too many.

As always Shane turned out as a great gentleman and offered her help in the form of some napkins. "Scarlett one, blouse zero," "Um,… but it don’t feel like the winner, I think," she pointed out embarrassed. But when he chuckled a little she had to do so, too, at least just for a few seconds. "Do you think it's a good idea that we catch some fresh air with our new friend?" "Fresh air? I just… OH!" Suddenly she realized what Shane was thinking about her little accident with the butterbeer. "Shane, I’m not drunk! It was just… well, I was joking around and a bit clumsy. It was a mishap, no more, no less." Now she felt very ashamed for her silly little joke. She always had to act nearly 'perfect'. But when she was together with one of her sadly very few friends she wanted to act more naturally. That also included jokes and so on. She lowered her voice so that only Shane could hear her words. And she avoided looking around because she feared that nearly everybody inside of the pub would watch her. "I just wanted to mock those VIPs I often meet at those Events, you know," she tried to explain what she really was doing before she spilled her drink. "But nonetheless we should take a few steps outside," she agreed to his suggestion.

"Shane, I’m not drunk! It was just… well, I was joking around and a bit clumsy. It was a mishap, no more, no less."
"I just wanted to mock those VIPs I often meet at those Events, you know,"
Shane tilted his head backward slightly and raising his eyebrows, his mouth opened slightly in a moment of understanding. He never wanted to assume things about his dear friend, but felt that he was obligated to tread the situation lightly just in case. Glad to know that Scarlett was with him, clear and sound, Shane gave way a nasally chuckle of relief as he listened to her explanation, "Okay! Just know that I'm looking out for ya, I always will!"
"But nonetheless we should take a few steps outside," she agreed to his suggestion.
"Indeed, I do think that a change of scenery would be good for the both of us, it's getting a tad loud in here anyways," Shane nodded and jumping out of his seat, he scurried behind Scarlett's before she could help herself up. He gently pulled her chair out slightly from under the table and standing before her he offered a warm helping hand, "Beauty before the beast?" Shane laughed lightly in his mischief.

"Okay! Just know that I'm looking out for ya, I always will!" "I know. Thank you, Shane!" She was glad that Shane believed her. She didn’t like the idea of being mistakenly treaten like a drunken woman.
"Indeed, I do think that a change of scenery would be good for the both of us, it's getting a tad loud in here anyways," And luckily he also liked the idea of going outside. Again he showed his inner gentleman. At least until his inner joker took the helm. "Beauty before the beast?" "Ha ha, Shane, you… Well, what do you think who’s the beast, humph? Look at me! I even can’t drink without looking like a baby after it had been feeded." She had to laugh about herself now and didn’t care about the other people around them anymore. The situation was just too funny. "Oh, and I hope you had already payed for our drinks. Not that you’re going to be called a bill-dodger, my dear." While she still giggled she already linked arms with him.

"Oh, and I hope you had already payed for our drinks. Not that you’re going to be called a bill-dodger, my dear."
Shane had been so distracted by everything that swirled within his pretty, little head of his that paying the bill completely slipped his mind. Rummaging in his Ilvermorny school jacket, he found a few bills that equaled out to the cost of their drinks and a few dollars more for a tip, too. "I always pay my dues," Shane winked at Scarlett as he placed the cash on the table before offering his arm as a hook for her to hold onto as they made their exit "Shall we blow this place and take in the rest of the village before the train leaves? Ya never know when we'll be able to return to another place like this again!" Shane suggested as he began to escort his friend towards the exit of the bar.

She wasn’t sure if he almost forgot to pay their drinks. Luckily he was good in keeping up appearances. And she didn’t want to broach the subject again. "I always pay my dues," "I know, Shane. You’re one of the good guys," was all she answered. "Shall we blow this place and take in the rest of the village before the train leaves? Ya never know when we'll be able to return to another place like this again!" "Well said, my dear. Let’s start to explore this nice little village. And who knows – maybe we find something useful for our daily live in future or for the Tournament…"

*** Sirius and Coco enter the Inn ***
With their bags filled with the finest stuff of joke articles Sirius and Coco walked over to the Three Broomsticks Inn. It felt kinda strange because he hadn’t been in the mood for sitting in a bar when they arrived Hogsmeade a while ago. But Coco was one of those persons who can cheer you up without doing it obviously. She got her very own charme. A strange but to him a likeable one. They were somehow in tune with each other. He wished he would have been getting along this way with Coco’s bestie, too. But Cami was a swell broad – one of those who would date a film star or a model and not a punk who pretend to be a girl! But even if he was aware of this he couldn’t really resit to keep his eyes open trying if he would see her somewhere. But he didn’t. She could be anywhere around. He also tried to look if he could find Shane on their way. Luckily he didn’t. He wasn’t sure how to talk to him again…
When they arrived the Inn Sirius just stepped inside. He didn’t spent a thought about offering Coco the entry like most young man would do when they were together with a young woman. He wasn’t that kind of gentleman. He was more like a cool rebel. And Coco wasn’t that sweet girl you always wanted to carry on your arms. "Okay, get us a good seat, I’ll get us the drinks." Without waiting for an answer – or maybe a contradiction because we’re talking about Coco – he went over to the bar.

At some point, Coco was about to just ask if Emily would stop looking out for Cami herself or if she first had to unfold the bitter truth to her that Barbie was all over the moon with Ken right now, and, once again, most probably not going for other Barbies, in the first place. Emily was not exactly this typical kind of girl, though. But then again, what was typical anyway? Coco didn't like stereotype thinking, yet there was something different about Emily. Something that she couldn't tell what it was. Probably it had something to do with the fact that she had first thought this was no girl at all.
When, inside the pub, Emily finally broke the silence, keeping Coco from saying something she might regret later, she was actually relieved about that. Coco was so good at getting on bad terms with somebody, even though that was mostly not intended, and she was so bad at making friends. But she started to like her. Hopefully, though, they never had to converse about it again.
"Okay, get us a good seat, I’ll get us the drinks."
"Aye aye," she jokingly saluted with one hand, although with no sign of a smile on her face. Almost had she added a sir. Then Coco made it her task to head for a table that was not too centered in the crowd. She hated crowds. And while she was waiting for Emily to return with their drinks, she had to think of Professor Hottie, who Cami and she had met here earlier this day. Thoughts that were a good time killer.

"Aye aye," Sirius had to stifle a laugh when Coco suddenly salutated even though they both knew it was a joke. But he didn’t want to show any weakness. He rather liked to be the cool guy – or the cool girl. He started to wonder why Coco seemed to be quite alone most of her time. Maybe it was because most of the people didn’t get her jokes and felt offended. But to be honest he thought that this kind of behavior made her really likeable. She called a spade a spade. Just like him - when he didn't try to pretend someone else.
After he got his drinks from Madam Rosmerta he looked out for Coco. She chose a table in a corner. Obviously she didn’t like the crowd. Sirius himself was fine with it. He didn’t care if he had to sit down in a corner or in the middle of a crowded room. "Hey, not sure what you were thinkin' about but might be enjoyable," he teased her. There had been a strange kind of smile on her face. "Hope it’s okay when it’s no butterbeer. You surely already had one, right? Everybody wants butterbeer when they’re here for the first time. And if I appreciate your behavior I think you might like to have something different than the majority." It was hot chocolate with a huge pat of cream. "Hey, I tried to convince her to get us a sip of rum into our drinks but… Nah!", he jokingly added. Of course, he didn’t really asked for it. He was sure that Madam Rosmerta wouldn’t serve hard liquors to minors. All of a sudden he had to think about his dad. He once told him that they would drink hot chocolate with rum together when he will be older. But now his father had gone and he still wasn’t old enough for the rum…

"Hey, not sure what you were thinkin' about but might be enjoyable,"
If there had been a silly smile on her face or something like that, she wanted to apologize for it without actually apologizing, for apologizing was not her style. Coco kind of hated it when somebody caught an emotion on her face that she didn't know had come up there herself. There was only one person who she granted to do so without getting the bitch face - and that was her bestie Cami.
"Hope it’s okay when it’s no butterbeer. You surely already had one, right? Everybody wants butterbeer when they’re here for the first time. And if I appreciate your behavior I think you might like to have something different than the majority."
"Butterbeer iz bae!" Coco stated with a wide grin, using one of her favorite American slang words she had adopted from some of her online dates with US wannabe rockstars. And yes, there were situations where an expression of great joy was seen on her face, yet mostly when she was dreaming of things like chocolate or ice-cream - or in this case - her latest discovery: butterbeer.
While Emily continued talking, Coco had another grin spreading over her face as she took a glimpse of the liquid she found in her mug instead. "Okay, this is better." Chocolate. Her only true love. Almost childlike, she let her finger drop into the cream to taste it without the chocolate first.
"Hey, I tried to convince her to get us a sip of rum into our drinks but… Nah!"
Coco was only half-listening when a sudden change of mood on Emily's face caught her eyesight. Dammit. Why had she raised her head? Now Coco had to ask if she was alright, or worse, why she seemed to be upset, all of a sudden.
"Have you ever asked yourself if zere iz a spell turning water into booze?" Coco made her wonder, although in her usual bored tone. However, this was actually her try to cheer the girl up. Nobody should expect more from her than a poor try.

*** Ellie and Dray enter from Outside The Shops ***
"In the end, we always end up here, aren't we?" Ellie said with a joyful chuckle as she gave her girlfriend a playful poke into her side. It was not only the taste of butterbeer that brought great memories to her mind whenever she would enter the Inn but also, and especially, the moments she had spent here together with Dray, long before they knew that they both had romantic feelings for each other. Even long before Ellie knew that she had no thing for boys at all. It actually explained a lot, though, when she thought about it today. Wasn't it crazy how blind one can be just because society gave them a picture of what was normal?
"Over there?" Ellie asked, pointing towards one of the free tables.

Sirius had been too much wrapped in thought to realise Coco’s childish behavior when she used her finger to test the cream top. But he heard her voice. "Have you ever asked yourself if zere iz a spell turning water into booze?" "What?"
First he was a bit confused. But then he noticed that this was a nice chance to go on talking like before instead of thinking too much about his Dad. And although he still missed him he was glad that Coco didn’t ask what had been on his mind for a moment. He didn’t want to talk about it now. And surely not to a girl he didn’t know very well. So he pulled himself up and tried to give a witty answer.
"Well, correct me if I’m wrong – I’ve to admit I’m not used to that stuff – but if I remember right there was this Jesus-guy who already did it…" Now he had to chuckle. Hopefully she didn’t think of him as a complete fool now. "Okay, I think better no more Bible quotes. But what about getting to know each other a bit better?" He took a sip of his drink before he realized that might sounded a bit too intrusive in her ears. "I mean just talking about hobbies or something like that. It‘s not that I want us to become best friends..." He took a second gulp and hoped she won’t mock him. She seemed to be strange so that he wasn’t able to estimate how she would react.
