Verity was looking forward to finally getting around to actually using the kitchen in the new house. Things had started to settle down with the arranging and rearranging and now she wanted to actually do something leisurley. She wasn't exactly sure what it was she wanted to make, but she had heard of a new store in Hogsmeade and so she decided to just check it out.
She was just about to go down the isle that the large sign said contained soup when she felt someone solid collide with her. Followed by a very familiar accent and a steadying hand.
"That's just fine," she said with a smile. She didn't recognise the man at all- but his voice. "No harm done." Clearly, she was in a good mood...
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but your accent..." she looked at him curiously, still not letting her own dialect ring true.
