RP: Leo & Benjy Who: Leo & Benjy What: Friendly drinks Where: The Leaky Cauldron When: 10 Sept, evening
Leo was still a bit shocked at the fact that Clorinda was married when he arrived at the Leaky Cauldron to meet Benjy. Of all his friends, Clorinda wasn't the one he'd expected to be married first. Of course, his friends were Clorinda and Benjy, so maybe that wasn't so surprising after all. But really, if he'd wagered on which of them would end up married first, he'd have put good Galleons on Benjy. The man had home and hearth written all over him.
He spotted the man in question in their usual booth, and headed over. "You'll never guess what's happened," he said, as he slid in across from him. Without waiting for Benjy to answer, he leaned close and said in a voice that couldn't be overheard, "Clorinda got married. To Sirius Black." He laughed a bit, and shook his head. "I still can't believe it, but she seems happy about it."
That bit of gossip out of the way, he gestured over one of the barmaids so they could order their drinks. When she was gone again, he said, "Keep it to yourself for now. I guess he hasn't even told his family yet." Of course, that had been hours ago, so hopefully that had changed by now. If not, they probably couldn't be overheard. The Leaky wasn't even all that crowded tonight. Still, privacy charms were never a bad idea, so he silently cast a few just to make sure they wouldn't be overheard if they talked about anything sensitive, like Clorinda's marriage to Sirius Black.
