This day's lessons had been particularly tough, and Mikko was looking forward to a nice, quiet evening. When he hadn't been able to find his lover anywhere, he figured he might as well go a bit out and get himself a drink. With Ash properly fed and watered, Mikko left his room for Hogsmeade.
It was years since Mikko had last been in The Three Broomsticks, but it looked pretty much like itself, and Mikko smiled at the memories it brought as he stepped inside the warm pub.
Glancing shortly around and not noticing Severus in the corner, Mikko made his way to the bar and sat down.
"Pint, please," he said with a smile to the barkeep and lit a cigarette. The smoke in his lungs soothed the stress from the lessons, and Mikko exhaled with a soft sigh and felt much better already.
