WHO: Nymphadora and Jackson
WHEN: Break.
WHERE: Diagon Alley. The Weasley's SHop.
WHAT: A chance encounter?
RATING: tba...
STATUS: Closed / In Progress

It was a fairly hot day in Diagon Alley. Tragically, this simple fact was magnified somehow inside the Weasley's store, particularly in the counter where on Nymphadora sat. She even believed it was possible that all the heat in the room was solely concentrated on her side of the room, and no where else. Bright sunlight filled the room from the window to her side, her hair- this season bright Weasley red- standing out astoundingly against her old black graphic shirt. She was stacking and restacking the boxes displayed by the register, forming a castle before she brings them down form a pyramid. Nymphadora was never one who stayed bored for long, for he could always find something to do, or someone to bother. Really, approaching the customers when they're deciding for their purchases wasn't necessary, but she does it anyway to entertain herself.

At the moment, however, the store was empty except for her. It did not come as a surprise for her. It was around 3 in the afternoon, a dead time in their day. More customers arrive in the evenings anyway. Dora checked the clock in the corner . Her shift was almost done, and she wondered distantly what she could do to make time fly by faster..

"A little freak in us. Now, there's somehting I don't hear everyday." Nymphadra said, giggling to herself before she took another big chunk of ice cream in her mouth. She watched him right across from hr, realizing she had not truly seen how awesome he was 'til now. "Well, what's your freaky little talent, Jackson? Care to share that with me, or would you rather save me from the trauma?"

Her eyebrows drew together when he spoke. "I don't eat grass, ok?" she cleared up. "I have, however, had the misfortune of downing a grass flavored Bertie Bott's once. Among other things." Earwax, dirt... the list went on and on. It was the downside of being such an adventurous eater. She remembered her mum nce telling her that she would put everything she got her hands on in her mouth. "No, not horrible at observing. " she said. A slow smile creeped up her features. "It's alright. Just thankful I got it off."

"So." She started then, pulling her knees up on the seat. "I want to play a game. Just a simple questions game. Maybe... we can shoot chips in each other's mouths. Whoever misses, gets to be asked a quesion. You in?"

He shrugged, laughing. "Well, I think it's the truth," he said, taking another bite of his Sunday. "I mean, think about it. We all have our little quirks and habits, so, that would be freaky. Thus, we all have a little freak in us!" He shrugged, laughing. "I dunno, I have a few, I guess. I still sleep with a light on. Not because I'm afraid, but just out of habit. Just when I'm at home, though. And since we are on the topic of ice cream and all, I like to eat chips in my ice cream a lot. Especially barbecue." He wasn't sure how WEIRD either of those were, but you certainly didn't hear about them every day.

"Okay, okay, I believe you," he said, laughing, though it was pretty clear that he was just teasing her. "Oh Merlin, so have I before. Absolutely nasty. Though, I gotta say, I've had nastier ones though. Which is kind of scary, but still." Those things were just dangerous on principle. Because mud and wood should never really be a flavor for ANYTHING. "Yep, it's gone!" he said, laughing.

"Um, sure!" he said when she mentioned the game. He was pretty bad at thinking of questions half the time, but he would give it his best shot!

"NO. WAY." Dora exclaimed at Jackson's unusual eating habit of eating chips with his ice cream. "I do that, too!" She said animatedly, her hands making wild gestures. Food was definitely a topic she felt quite passionate about. "Some people think I am crazy, but there's something about chips... maybe the saltiness of it that is the perfect compliment for chocolate and vanilla ice cream! Same thing with peanutbutter and apples for me." At this, she took a large bite of her sundae, then closed her eyes as if imagining something. "What I'd give for a plate of fries." Then she looked at him. "Maybe we should get some after? Barbecue chips. Or... onion blossoms." A pause. "Too weird?"

Nymphadora giggled at Jackson's teasings. "Nastier ones?" he asked. When he finally agreed to the game, she lit up even more. "Alright. What is the nastiest Bertie Bott's Bean you've ever downed? Or better yet, what's the nastiest thing you've ever eaten?"

His eyes grew wide as she said that she ate chips with her ice cream too. Finally someone that didn't think he was weird for it, who actually did the same thing. Just another thing that was amazing about Dora, really. "I don't think you're crazy at all! I completely agree. The two tastes just work so well together. It's amazing." He loved food, too, and he could go on talking about it for quite a while. He'd even written a song about it once, just to be silly. "Oh, yum. Fries. And no, that's not too weird. I like those, thank you very much."

"UM. Nastiest bean. Gee, I dunno. I've had some pretty bad ones. Ashes, like from fags? Those are horrible." He pondered her next question and then made a face. "Pickled okra. It's absolutely disgusting."
