It wasn't that Zacharias wasn't looking forward to hanging out with Ernie so much as he wasn't sure about going to a cover night at a pub. He liked music, despite what some might think, but he admittedly could only take so much before drunk patrons annoyed him. But he hadn't been able to think of anything else to do, and he actually did enjoy spending time with Ernie, especially when it had nothing to do with being healed from one stupid injury or another. And, who knew, it might be fun. He hadn't ever been to Musical Maladies before, though he'd heard about it. With any luck, he'd even discover a new band to listen to.
He tried to be optimistic about the night as he joined a group of witches and wizards taking a Portkey to Hogsmeade. Although he could Apparate just fine, he knew better than to try going from London to Hogsmeade in one shot. And he also knew that he didn't want to waste his energy Apparating to multiple points from one end of the Great Britain to the other, especially not when it was south to north. He'd briefly thought about flooing to Hogsmeade, but, well, he really didn't want to get his robes all sooty. Even if he hadn't wanted to dress up dress up, he did want to look decent in his casual robes. And arriving sooty was not the way to do it.
Even though he hadn't flooed, once Zacharias had arrived in Hogsmeade, he did take a moment to straighten out his navy blue robes and adjust his matching scarf. Then he took a moment to orient himself before following behind a group of witches who'd mentioned something about Musical Maladies. Truth be told, he wasn't entirely sure where in the village it was and was quietly grateful someone else was going there so he didn't have to ask directions and look like a fool. He hung back, trying not to look like a creepy stalker while also picking up on their idle chatter.
Once he arrived at Musical Maladies, he debated on whether or not he should go inside. He couldn't remember if they'd agreed to meet inside or out. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to duck inside, just to see if Ernie were there already or not.
