PREACHER – Astoria & Mike
Mike nodded in response, having already figured that was one potential reason for her query. For as many as there were, the wizarding community in Britain was still a very small world, and there was always a chance you knew someone from Hogwarts or that you were connected in another way.
And then she was making to leave. Mike stood up straighter and looked around as though he'd only just realized how much time had passed while chatting with Astoria. "Right. I'm this way," he replied, pointing in another direction. "Have fun at your party, yeah?" He took a few backward steps toward his destination, giving a final wave before turning around and heading off in earnest.
