archie goldstein, portia harper

CHARACTERS: Archie Goldstein & Portia Harper
SETTING: Strolling the lovely streets of Hogsmeade
RATING: GP
STATUS: ongoing
SUMMARY: Well, sooner or later these kids needs to move beyond their library rendezvous at school and what better time than the first Hogsmeade weekend?

It wasn't that Archie hated the school. In fact, he was largely apathetic toward the entire concept of it. He just cherished these reprieves from the walls of Hogwarts, but really away from the sorts of characters that called those hollow halls home for nine months a year. Some days he really did question his own sanity.

That was why he had liked the library. People acted the way there were supposed in there. Or perhaps he was more his father's son than he cared to admit -- not that there was anything wrong with Anthony Goldstein, just that it was not who Archie saw himself as. His father always found Hogsmeade weekends to be a bit of a waste of time. Archie rather enjoyed the ritual, it certainly helped having a companion along for the ride.

"And this is where our tour from the castle to the quaint village of Hogsmeade will be stopping." He said, walking backwards down the main road just outside the town, his attention fully on Portia. "I will have to ask you to keep your belongings with you at all times. And please under no circumstance should you feed the third and fourth years. We feel it's best they survive on their own."

Despite all of her complaining, Portia actually looked forward to Hogsmeade weekends. Her sister always told her that she thinks too much, and Portia never could do too much thinking in Hogsmeade, mesmerized as she was by the colorful, outlandish shops and the eccentric store owners, even though she's been there thousands of times. It was such a relief from bland, dreary Hogwarts. It was such a relief from Scorpius Malfoy, who preferred to keep his eeriness inside the walls of the school.

"Look how sad they are, though." Portia passed a group of defeated third years, desperately searching for enough money to buy something delectable from Honeydukes. She made a show of clutching her bag to her side, making sure her belongings were with her at all times, lest the desperate third years make a grab for it.

"Where's our first stop, Mr. Goldstein? I'm just dying to buy some sugar quills to bring back home to grandmother."

Archie shook his head. "You give into one of them and then they'll never stop. Like rapid Hippogrifs." He shuddered at the thought. They could be scary if they wanted. He stopped walking backwards and turned around to match her stride. It was easier to walk this way.

He raised a brow at the mention of her grandmother. "I didn't know you're grandmother had a sweet tooth." This was nice. Archie almost felt normal today, sane even. The trick was forcefully not remembering the batty people in the castle. Although he was going to need to make a stop for some supplies for his next great plan.

"And if that is the case, our first stop would have to be Honeydukes. Probably best to go before the younger years do finally get their hands on some sweets." Now that would be a sight he would happily pass on.
