After the shock of the Prophet's morning news sunk in, Tom had spent all morning retelling the story of Harry's first trip to Diagon Alley a little over twelve years ago. To have been a fly on the wall of the Leaky that day one would have heard all kinds of tales of interactions with Harry Potter over the years. Some were true, many were not. Many spoke as if they had lost their best friend, their own kin, the savior of their world.

Hannah had gotten word earlier that morning that her shift would be extended by at least two hours. In a way she was glad, not only would she make a few extra tips but she would be able to push back what was likely to be an uncomfortable encounter later in the evening. For now though, she watched as the hour Tom had set for the memorial approached. She didn't think the old bar keep had thought about the marketing genius behind the idea, but Hannah noted it. Many had shown up early for a spot of food and would stay well past the end of the hour to continue drinking.

At about a quarter til eight, Hannah was in the back room completing the spellwork necessary to ensure that the glasses were continually filled and continually washed in order to keep up with the demand that was certain to take up her time for the next hour or so.
