Marietta spent the morning taking an extra shift at Flourish and Blotts. She'd had another Saturday night off and had decided to take the extra time so that the girl who usually worked the weekend could have the opportunity to spend some time with her new husband. It wasn't too much of a sacrifice considering that she'd actually spend the bulk of her time lately hiding away from everyone. In fact she'd gotten so good at it she wasn't sure what was going on in the lives of her friends these days. She hadn't meant to ignore them, it had just happened. She assumed they were all busy with things that were definitely more important than making sure she wasn't turning into a recluse.

Of course so much time to herself along with the amount of time she spent pretending to be someone else wasn't healthy at all. Therefore, Marietta decided to take the time to walk Diagon Alley and do a little window shopping, something she hadn't done in quite awhile. She didn't know for sure what she was looking for or even if she'd find anything worth purchasing. Still, Marietta gave herself a budget of twenty galleons for the day.

For now she stood outside of Weasly's Wizard Wheezes and watched their latest window display do whatever it was it purported to do.

On a personal level, Ravenclaws tended not to be Greg's favourite people. While it was true that people being smarter than him wasn't necessarily a barrier to closeness - all his friends were, after all - the Ravenclaws Greg remembered from school had either been oh-so-keen to display how smart they were or else had no patience with Greg's slower thought processes. Or both. Still, they were better than Gryffindors and after a few moments of thought, Greg was able to answer her question. "Yeah, I'm still friends with people from school."

After a little while longer, he added, "We were friends before Hogwarts, too." Friends he hadn't grown up with were a rarity in Greg's life - what did he need more friends for, after all? He glanced over his shoulder at the shop, a little concerned George might appear and demand more work of him, since he was still here. "I should go." He didn't mean to be abrupt, or rude. In fact, if he been less concerned about manners, he'd just have walked away without warning.

Goyle's statement that he'd been friends with his classmates before school wasn't lost on Marietta. She knew that many Slytherins held tight to their connections. It was something she knew was unlikely to disappear with the end of the war but like most had hoped that eventually such things could and would be forgotten.

"Enjoy the rest of your day," she gave a nod and turned her attention back to the display so as to allow him to exit as he had stated he ought.
