In Search of Comfort and Butterbeer Date & Time: 7 December 2002 Post Type: RP Status: Closed: Complete Character(s): Alicia Spinnet Location: The Three Broomsticks, Hogsmeade Summary: Alicia goes out for Butterbeer and comfort food.
Alicia was in need of something familiar, something magical, something comforting. She left the bar in the capable hands of her managers, Dawn and O'Malley, and wrapped her favorite wine-colored wool cloak around her in her bedroom before stepping into the Floo. It wouldn't likely be cold at the Three Broomsticks, but in case there was a draft, Alicia wanted to be prepared. She was dressed in layers and, though she was dressed warmly and appeared flushed, Alicia didn't feel overdressed.
As she picked up the Floo Powder and stated her destination, Alicia let out a contented sigh. She had been working hard and, when she hadn't been working, she'd been sleeping off the flu. She had yet to see a Healer, but she assumed it was just a bug, since she had been feeling better recently. Alicia got tired easily, but she wasn't feeling really ill.
When she arrived at the Three Broomsticks, Alicia could sense immediately that something was off, but she shook the feeling and went straight to the bar to greet Madam Rosmerta.
"Hi, Rosie," she said, brightly. "A Butterbeer, please. And a bowl of stew."
She sat and drank in the cool fizz of the Butterbeer. She felt as if she was coming home. She knew she should feel that way at the her own pub, her own flat, but lately it hadn't seemed right. Alicia felt maybe she just needed more magic in her life. Hopefully catching up with her friends this weekend would help and she mentioned it to Rosmerta.
While she was waiting on her food, Alicia reveled in her Butterbeer.
