Who: Parvati Patil and Michael Corner
What: Job woes and whatnot (more to be added)
When: Tuesday midday
Where: Diagon Alley, somewhere near the WWW
Rating: TBD

This was what life had basically become for Parvati Patil. Not really doing anything, but either lounging at home, going to parties with friends or walking around in shopping areas. Sure anyone else would think that must be a blast, but it was really not enough. And she couldn't help mentally curse at herself because somehow this was probably her own fault. Had she taken a few more classes or N.E.W.T.s in Hogwarts (the Potions N.E.W.T.s in her final year, especially), she would have had a bit more options open for her.

Nope, that wasn't what was happening.

She searched through the town, having done her shopping for the day... which really, wasn't a lot. She might have loved it, but wasn't one for binge-spending, contrary to popular belief. Mostly Parvati was stopping by several stores, looking out for help-wanted signs. Though what good did that do? Most of them she saw, she hesitated to enter, not so sure if being a salesclerk was something she wanted to do. No offense to a certain guy she knew was doing exactly that.

Parvati came to Madam Malkin's shop and looked through the window pensively. There was a sign here as well, but that was where she finally decided to stop and weigh out her options on applying. It wouldn't hurt, would it? She was far too deep into her thoughts to realize that someone was approaching her from the side.

Michael's shift was finally over for the day. Despite liking his job, there were days the hours simply didn't move and that particular Tuesday had gone on and on and on...

He shut the door firmly behind him, more than glad to let the next clerk take over. She could deal with the rude customers for awhile; Michael was tired of faking niceties for the afternoon. His stomach rumbled as he began walking, reminding Michael that he had forgotten to eat. He frowned, weighing the options of either going home or stopping for food. However, he paused mid-thought when his eyes spotted a familiar face. Despite liking his new freedom, Michael did miss his old school-mates. "Parvati?" He smiled, going up next to her.

Parvati turned her head to smile, though she didn't need to look to know who it was. After seven years, of course, who wouldn't be able to recognize a voice, even if she really hadn't seen him for most of the summer. "Why, hello, stranger!" Not so much a stranger though when he was able to tell her and Padma apart.

Well, the fact that she was wearing pink and white with matching accessories could probably identify her easily.

"Wow, I completely forgot you work around here now. Didn't expect to run into you though."

Michael had known Padma better since they were in the same house, but that didn't mean he liked Parvati less. If anything, he found he had a better time with the Gryffindor. It was sort of funny to think twins could be so similar and so different all at the very same time.

Michael's first thought after greeting his fellow DA member was that she looked really nice. He was used to Mandy and Lisa's style and as attractive as they were, he could take that for granted. "Forgot, did you? I think I should be wounded or something." He grinned slyly, winking.

Parvati gave him a mock pout. "I'm sorry? Hey, I shouldn't be blamed. Maybe it's because you're always working so I miss seeing you out here!" Working. Lucky him. Sure she didn't have a pleasant opinion about him working as a sales clerk initially, but at least he had something going on for him at the moment.

"What are you doing right now? Lunch break, I suppose?"

Michael pointed a finger over that pouting lip. "Not that. I can't stand when girls do it! Oh, wait, I'm sorry. When women do that." He drew back, leaning against the shop window. "My shift's over actually. I've been working crazy hours." He was loving it too, but he felt weird admitting it. Sure, he told Lisa such, but he didn't know Parvati nearly as well. "What are you up to? Shopping?"

The way he said "women" didn't help Parvati keep a straight face anymore that her mock pout turned into a smile as she laughed. "You sound like you get a lot from all the women in your life already."

She glanced down at her bag. Just one bag, but all it contained was a pair of shoes. This was an accomplishment, seriously, especially when your parents were pretty wealthy and when you received a hefty allowance. To spend an entire day in Diagon Alley and only buy one item in that situation was really holding back. "A tiny bit, yeah. I was actually, um.." she glanced to the help sign in Madam Walkin's and then back at Michael. There had to be better options.

"Looking around! Getting out of the house for a little while."

	Michael shrugged sheepishly. "My step-sister and step-mum seem to think that's what wins an argument. Any argument." He rolled his eyes. "And I suppose they're right about that one." He half wondered why Parvati seemed nervous for a second, but he brushed it off. "Yeah? You still at home too then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Parvati nodded. "Yes.. well, if I wanted to, I could get a place to stay but I don't really have a place in mind. I haven't really discussed moving in with Lavender or anything like that either, so. Yes, stuck at home for the time being." Though she supposed she would like to have a talk with Lavender soon. And likely, she'd be able to help her best friend out with her career woes. "And I guess when you say 'too', that means you're in the same situation?"

Michael felt rather stupid; of course she could have one if she wanted. It felt like their whole class could. He was the silly one working for minimum wage. It was so not befitting a Ravenclaw and, for the millionth time, Michael heard his father's voice pointing such out. "Well, you know, saving and all." He fidgeted and cleared his throat. "You and Lavender, yeah? The world better watch out!"

	If she knew what he'd been thinking, she would have reprimanded him. At least he was getting something while she was getting nothing. But Parvati rolled her eyes instead, giving Michael a slight punch on the shoulder. (Though hopefully, it didn't hurt him too much, even if she'd started some weight training.) "Come on. We're fierce, but not that fierce." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Michael clutched his shoulder, feigning great pain. "No? Then why is my shoulder throbbing? I should report this!" He bent at the waist, putting on quite the show. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Parvati giggled slightly, shaking her head at his antics and grabbed for the same arm, but this time to straighten him. "You wouldn't report me. I could easily seduce you to forgetting the entire thing!" She batted her eyelashes at him playfully before laughing again. "Come on. I was about to grab lunch anyway. Want to join me?"

	"I'm above seducing!" Michael protested as he allowed her to guide him back up to a proper standing position. "Though you did mention food..." He winked back in the same playful manner she had used. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Ah-ha!" Parvati said, looping an arm around his, and tugging him in the direction of a cozy little cafe she knew of. "So the proper way is through food, you say?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Michael was never one to deny a pretty girl's touch so he willingly linked arms with her, allowing Parvati to drag him to wherever she wanted to go. "I thought you knew blokes, love. It's always through..." He patted his stomach with her free hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Parvati on the other hand could have sworned it was from someplace else, but that was too risque for a lady to mention. "I will keep that in mind if there was ever someone free that I would want to woo." Michael probably already had his friends swooning all over him. The cafe wasn't too far away, so she took her time walking instead of rushing over there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
