Melinda + OPEN
It was a mild evening, though with the very likely risk of the temperature dropping later on, Melinda had pulled a light coat over her sleeveless red top. Checking to make sure that her wand was safely tucked away in her purse, she gave Oliver’s hand a gentle squeeze before they left The Leaky Cauldron on the Muggle side. It was one thing to tell Cho about Oliver – and Roger to some extent, though he had guessed based on assumptions – and quite another thing to have him actually meet her friends, and that at a party where there had been grumblings about the encouragement of plus ones. Granted, Oliver probably knew most, if not all, of the other people in the group, but still.
Out on the street, Melinda smiled when she saw that they weren’t the first ones there. “Hey,” she smiled in greeting as she came up to them.
