Summary: Maria has dinner at the Leaky by herself, delightfully.
Maria sat at the bar, despite the looks the tender gave her. She really couldn't care less if she wasn't technically allowed to sit at a bar in London. She had just needed to get away from Hogsmeade and the only time she ever had such an opportunity was when she spent the full moons in a padded cell in St. Mungos doped up on potion and breaking out of her own skin.
So this afternoon when her father - always present, hovering - had mentioned he needed to run into Diagon to buy a few things for the flat, she'd jumped at the chance to do it for him. She even smiled for him, playing like the summer sun had been good for her. He'd let her, so willing to believe his little girl might be 'getting better'.
Ordering a rare hamburger and chips, she eyed the pint of lager the man next to her drank greedily, wishing she could drink some to take the edge off.
Watching the crowd, busy despite it being a week night, she let herself get lost for a moment, until her food was delivered and she dug in, focused only on cold meat and grease.
