Penny laughed along with Jessica. “I agree. There really is nothing worse than lukewarm coffee.” She wrinkled her nose. “It either needs to be piping hot or iced. Nothing in between.”
Starting out towards Madame Puddifoot’s, Penny tried not to worry too much about Orla. “She is a wonderful girl.” She frowned, unable to help herself. “I just wish that more people her own age recognized it.”
As they neared Madame Puddifoot’s a blonde figured crept up to them, cocking her head curiously as if trying to figure something out. Ignoring Penny, she stared at Jessica.

Megan had been sure that was Jessica but what was she doing in Hogsmeade? Had she come to see her? That would have been too much to hope for under normal circumstances. However, she had a date! She was supposed to meet Hannah at Madame Puddifoot’s; Hogwarts premiere Valentine’s Day establishment.
“Jessica?” Megan called out. It was her! Chuckling, she walked up to the pair of ladies. “What are you doing here?”
That was when she noticed the other woman. Whoa! She was hot! Especially for an older woman. Megan usually didn’t go for older girls but she might make an exception in this case despite the fact she was likely almost old enough to be her mother!
Both eyebrows went up as she looked at Jessica questioningly. Was the older woman Jessica’s date?
