Who: Leanne and Katie
When: Saturday morning
Where: Cafe
What: Coffee Date

Leanne arrived early to the coffee shop. She'd worn an old t-shirt and jeans, trying her best not to care about her appearance--at least, not to look like she cared. She wanted things to get back to normal with her best friend, though she knew that was probably asking too much. She'd pretty much ruined everything with her admission.

The worst part of it all was that she still had feelings. Sure, they'd died down a little over time and awkwardness, but she was still in love.

She was sitting in a rather comfortable armchair in the back of the cafe, nursing a tall cup of tea and a scone. How was this not going to be awkward?

	"Hot drink, good idea." Katie left her purse at the table and went to place her order with the barrista. She came back a few minutes later with a cup of chai tea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So." Leanne sat up a little when Katie came back. "How are you?" She asked. They hadn't talked at all. Had Katie been hurt in the explosion? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Mad busy. They took most of the interns and nurses from Artifact Accidents and moved them to other wards to help manage the injuries from the accident. Also they've taken a few of our rooms to house Janus Thickey patients while the ward is under repair." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Leanne nodded a little. She'd been sifting through all the broken and exploded paperwork they could gather from the site. It was the best she could to do to help, really. "There's so much clean-up. It's maddening." She shook her head. "Who would do such a thing?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I've heard they were trying to get to Malfoy." Katie couldn't say she blamed him. She'd been on the receiving end of Draco's cruelty plenty of times for being on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Leanne was frowning a little as she thought about it. Poor Draco. He was a bastard, but did anyone really deserve this? "Why?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, he tortured people for Voldemort, didn't he? But they let him off because they said it was under duress and because Harry vouched that his Mom lied for them. But seriously, we all could have been killed, we were all injured and tortured, Draco himself put me in complete agony and a coma for months. If Voldemort was going to kill him, he should have died. He was a coward." A little resentment? Yes. Katie would admit it.

	"But to blow up half the hospital, just to get one person? Why not plant a bomb in his home, or attack him on the way to work?" Leanne was shaking her head a little. She lifted her tea for a sip. "Why hit all those innocent people?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-19 03:31 am UTC (link)
	"To make a statement." Or maybe it wasn't supposed to be that big. The intern who'd done the mixing probably was using the ingredients far more liberally than Draco would have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Leanne frowned. "You'd think they'd be more public about what they did and why if they really wanted to make a statement." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-19 04:07 am UTC (link)
	"Well, if they only intended a tiny explosion, then they probably a bit ashamed of themselves. I mean, missed Draco completely, killed a few people. Kind of a botched job. But the source of the explosion was materials from his cabinet and that poor intern won't be able to ever tell us what he was doing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-19 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	Leanne nodded. She gave a shiver, then set her tea down on the table. "Poor Neville." She commented softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-19 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	"It's like he's lost them twice, y'know?" Only this time Neville was old enough to process the loss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-20 12:05 am UTC (link)
	"Only worse. He lost them, but sort of had them, but never really had them, and lost them again." Leanne couldn't imagine. She was so very close with all her family. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-20 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	"More complicated than I'll ever understand. I've got two parents and they both made it through the war." Katie shook her head. "As if his life hadn't been rough enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-21 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	Leanne nodded. She normally only lost family members to old age. The MacFusty Clan sticked together, and stayed to themselves. Most of the time. "I can't even imagine what he's going through." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-25 04:46 am UTC (link)
	Katie tapped her fingers on the table. The sad topic had diverted them temporarily, but now she wasn't sure what else to say to Leanne. It was hard not to have everything be coloured by her confession. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-26 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	Leanne went quiet, too. She sipped. "I've been spending time with Roger and Brighton. Do you know them well?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-27 01:31 am UTC (link)
	"Davies? Not really since school. But God, he's nice to look at." Katie grinned. "Nothing like a well-dressed man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-27 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"He is. Very." Leanne was attracted to him, she couldn't deny it. Was it that he was so good-looking, or was it that he was such an amazing family man? It didn't really matter to her. But her heart really belonged to someone else. "Nothing like it. Especially not a well dressed man who's good with his kid." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-27 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"I forget sometimes that the ladies man of our class has a kid. Weird." Katie crinkled her nose. "Makes me feel old." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-27 03:29 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Makes me wonder if we grew up as well as he did." Leanne dfeinitely thought Katie did. She grew up beautifully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-27 03:33 am UTC (link)
	"Well, being a parent forces you to grow up quick, right? Except maybe Lizzy. She always seemed like a mum, even when we were kids." Katie leaned back in her chair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-27 03:41 am UTC (link)
	"I suppose so." Leanne nodded. She started wondering if she was ever going to be a mom, or if she was destined to take care of her little cousins and second cousins for the rest of her life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-27 03:56 am UTC (link)
	"Either way, he's still hot. Maybe hotter than when he was in school. His face isn't as round as it used to be." And he had a decent amount of five-o-clock shadow. Katie was attracted to masculinity. Hence Leanne's problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-27 04:03 am UTC (link)
	Leanne nodded enthusiastically. "He's got strong cheekbones." She could appreciate that in a man, even if she liked long, blonde hair and breasts, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-27 04:04 am UTC (link)
	"And a nice tight butt." This felt normal for Katie, gossiping about boys. It was good to have some normalcy with Leanne again. She just tried not to think about the fact that Leanne also liked breasts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-27 04:06 am UTC (link)
	Leanne gave a laugh. "A really nice, tight butt." She said. It was true, he did have a fantastic backside. She sorta wanted to squeeze it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-27 04:11 am UTC (link)
	"I'd take Roger's arse, Kevin Entwhistle's torso... Harry Potter's eyes... Tim Blekinsop's hands..." Katie was piecing together the perfect hospital employee in her mind now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-27 04:15 am UTC (link)
	"Blenkinsop? Really? ...would you take his tail, too?" She grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-27 04:20 am UTC (link)
	"That's why I didn't take his arse. He has really nice, chiseled hands. And long fingers," Katie said with a blush. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-27 04:21 am UTC (link)
	"I haven't really spent all that much time looking at his hands." Leanne said. "Way more preoccupied with the tail." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-27 04:22 am UTC (link)
	"Well, hey, if prehensile tail is your kind of thing," Katie teased. "Whatever floats your boat." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-27 04:25 am UTC (link)
	"No!" Leanne gasped and laughed. "No no, I..." She couldn't stop laughing. Odd, random thoughts were running through her head about what he might do with that tail. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-10-30 12:58 am UTC (link)
	Katie crinkled her nose. "So you go for the tail. Kinky." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-10-30 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	Leanne was bright red now from laughter and embarrassment. After another minute, she finally controlled herself. "No. Honestly, Katie. Me? Kinky?" She shook her head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-11-01 04:25 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, you're the one who said you like the tail." Katie feigned innocence. "Your words, not mine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-11-04 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Like? I think 'like' is a strong word." Leanne said, lifting her cup to fiddle with it. She had to do something with her hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-11-04 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	"No it isn't, like is the most noncommittal favourable word in existence." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-11-04 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, it doesn't apply to this situation." Leanne said, letting the smirk come back to her features. "I think it's kinda gross, actually." (Reply to this) (Parent)
