Main Street of Hogsmeade

Selia laughed, then dropped to the ground and started rolling down a small hill.

Olivia was wandering around, looking for Amanda -- or anyone familiar, for that matter. "You let go of someone for two seconds and they vanish. Where was Nazi at anyway... Hog's Head or something?"

Selia got up off the grass after she realized she probably looked stupid. "We should go back." She said, going over towards Jake.

She stopped, and looked around, thinking she'd heard her name. "What?"

"JAKE IT'S SEVEN FORTY FIVE!" Selia screamed, looking at her watch. "We're gonna be late!" With that, she ran off towards the castle.

With Jake right behind her.


Boris ran around the corner. "Olivia?! I saw you through two buildings- Whoah! You've... grown, sort of. You look older. Wow, how are you?" He gave her a big hug.

"Not much taller, actually." She blinked, keeping the same blank expression. "Rather upset. You know the Cruises?"

"No. Wait... kind of rings a bell. And you look older."

"The Indian kids. Yeah, they just got busted for pretending to be transfer student. Might go to you-know-where."

"That's a shame. Now I remember. I used to piss off one of the twins. Anyhow, you also look much nicer than last year. Are you wearing makeup?! Is Olivia Astor wearing makeup?"

"What of it?"

"You look really pretty." He looked up, and his chin came out. It was pointed, and he had a smooth, well rounded jaw. It was clear he didn't have an overbite, but he his chin was coming out just that small bit to make him look tough, and slightly troubled. "Hey, it stopped raining." he said, as he brought out his hands with the palms facing the clouds.

She raised an eyebrow. "Err... Yeah, so it did. Say, you haven't seen Amanda around have you? Likely in a dark corner somewhere?"

"Who's Amanda?" He looked back down at her.

"You remember that really tall nerdy-looking girl who would follow me around?"

"... Yeah. One of your weird friends. The one who hates me!"

"She hates everyone right now, don't take it personal. Anyway, she's prone to... problems. So you haven't seen her anywhere?"

"No. I'm mostly hanging around Hog's Head."

"Oh. Don't think I've ever been in there."

"... Don't go. It's really weird."

"Right. Something about goats, right?"

"The thing shits all over the place. Ruined my favorite pair of shoes."

Olivia laughed. "That sucks. Why are you there, then?"

"All the other stores are full. They don't need another employee. And I wanted to get out of the house as fast as possible, but my parents said I would have to pay for my own rent. But recently they've just given me a large amount of money, so I'm pretty happy. For now."

"Oh. See, I'm not gonna have that problem." She grinned. "Inheritance, loads of it."
