Rating/Warnings: PG/None
By the time she left to meet Isabelle at the pub, Ellie was pretty excited. She'd had friends to stay before - heck, Laura stayed most of every summer - but somehow this was different. This was an older girl, an older girl who Ellie felt the need to impress.
She spent at least a half hour deciding what to wear, before laughing slightly at herself and going with what she wore every day - a denim mini skirt and a tank top over a cerulean blue bikini, with her favorite blue flip flips.
It only took her a few minutes to walk to the pub, and she nodded to the barman. He'd introduced himself to her and her parents shortly after her Hogwarts letter had arrived when she was eleven, and told them that in their mostly-Muggle village, his pub was one of the very few places with public Floo. Ellie by now was quite comfortable with the idea of going in and slipping behind the bar and into the back room, nodding to the Saturday regulars as she did so. A couple whistled at her in a teasing way, an on going joke that made her giggle and blow a kiss.
Out the back, she filled a jug with ice (the agreed upon cover story for why she was going behind the bar) and waited for Isabelle to arrive.
