Backstory RP: Pints at the Leaky Who Emmeline Vance and Gideon Prewett When August 9, 1986 Where The Leaky Cauldron What Two friends meet, meeting type things ensue. Rating We'll see, won't we?
Gideon Prewett wasn't the most motivated bloke around. It wasn't that Gideon was stupid but his professors had called him somewhat lackadaisical or as they liked to say, a goof off. He had told his parents though that he was saving himself for that one spectacular moment and it had worked out when he'd done surprisingly well on his NEWTS which led to several offers from Ministry offices and many points governmental. But Gideon, to his parent's lament decided to take a job at Hogwarts as Professor Sprout's assistant. Not the most glorious or high paying position but he supplemented his income with odd jobs and some construction and carpentry work.
His hope was to one day take over the Herbology Professors job although he knew it would be another ten years or so but he did well enough, even if he had a crappy little lofted flat in the greenhouse barn. He didn't mind though because he didn't have very many needs in life, so he was for the most part, content and with that in mind, he was going to gladly spend some time off with his good friend, the very beautiful and oddly entertaining, Emmeline Vance.
Gideon thought that in a perfect world, he and Emmeline might, would, should be dating or at least pushing toward something more serious. They'd known each other forever and she didn't hate him or at least she never said so out right which meant that she might even like him although he doubted it because she had never really showed any inclination toward leaning that way. It would have been nice though and he might even have asked her out except for the aforementioned dead end job and the loft. Did he mention that he was still working on the concept of an indoor loo there and he cleaned himself in Hagrid's outdoor shower which was built for the amazingly large man, so when Gideon used it, the partition covered his head and upper torso but left his cute bottom exposed to the world?
Maybe Gideon Prewett wasn't quite as happy as he thought...
But he was today though because the sun was shining, the birds were chirping and like he said before, he was going to see Emmeline for a few pints. The thought made him step a bit more livelier and as he approached the Leaky, he banished all thoughts of outdoor loos and the shower that didn't quite cover the right areas of his body. When he stepped inside, he immediately recognized Emmeline who for some reason always made his pulse quicken just a bit. He grinned as he shook his head at his own stupidity before he ambled across the pub and wrapped an arm around Emmeline's waist. Gideon leaned down and kissed her cheek while he asked, "How about you buy a poor school chum an ale, miss?"
