RP: Girl Talk
Characters: Verity De Luca, Alicia Spinnet
Place: Diagin Alley
Date: 18 August 1997
Summary: The girls catch up on what's been going on and discuss the disturbing developments in Diagon.
Status: Private/Complete

Alicia came down the steps of Gringotts, a leather binder with some work documents under one arm, along with the rather disturbing paperwork she'd been asked to fill out earlier today. It was a very innoucuous looking form, but nonetheless, it bothered her, particularly with everything going on lately.

She had made plans to have drinks and some sort of food with Verity after work, and she headed down the pavement towards Fred and George's shop, wondering if they'd heard anything about the forms.

Her bootheels seemed loud on the cobblestones, and it seemed unusually empty for this time of day, which was strange. Almost as if everyone was holed up still at work or at home. She shrugged off the odd feeling it gave her and pushed in the door of the joke shop, noting Verity was alone behind the counter.

"Oi, Sweetheart," she said, grinning at the sight of Verity counting the money in the register. "Those totals better not be off when the money comes to the bank."

Alicia felt her appetite killed just a little, but she continued to eat anyway.

"Yeah, that's kind of what I thought." She leaned her chin on her hand in consideration. Lately things had been almost dangerously quiet after a summer of killings and all sorts of horrible things. The quiet worried her.

"Well, hopefully it's nothing," she tried to sound more cheerful than she felt.

"I ran into your best friend a week or two ago. He stole half my danish."

"Yeah," she said, hearing in her own voice an echo of the false optimism that she heard in Alicia's. "Well, no use worrying over something that hasn't happened yet and that we have no control over. We'll deal with it when we have to and not before." Not that either of them had anything to worry about themselves, being Pureblood, but they had friends who weren't.

Then she laughed out loud, throwing her head back. There was no mistaking who Alicia meant. "Now, Alicakes, I'm telling you. Don't get between Adrian and his Danish. I tried once and it wasn't pretty," she said, waggling her finger scoldingly, though she was grinning. "What kind was it?"

Al gave her a look. "It was mine first. And then he took a bite out of it." She scowled slightly. Really, Pucey was insufferable. It was almost a relief to discuss that, because the other conversation probably wasn't wise in public. She kept feeling like the waitress was watching them, but it was probably because there was no one else here. Then again, this was the kind of place where they filled your water glass ten times.

"Apple."

Verity chuckled. That was quite an Adrian thing to do. Especially when it was an apple Danish. She'd lost many a good pastry to that boy when they were dating.

"Well, there you are then. That's his favorite." When Alicia's expression did not change, Verity gave her a winning smile. "Would you like me to talk to him and ask him not to steal your Danish ever again, darling?" she asked, trying her hardest not to laugh.

	Alicia rolled her eyes. She had no idea how Verity had dated him, let alone still talked to him. The man was a neanderthal. "They're my favorite too. And no need for that. I just stole my half back and then spilled coffee on his shoes. Plus, I don't play on ever seeing him in any capacity let alone a Danish stealing one, so I think we're fine."

	Verity's eyebrows lifted. "All right. But might I say that for someone who isn't planning on seeing him again... you're the one who brought him up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alicia kept her expression completely even. "I was only trying to make conversation." She took a large bite of dumpling and chewed on it. Seriously, as if she'd ever give Pucey the time of day. He was just the sort of bloke her father would like her to date. Thank Merlin her mother had more sense.

She shoved the plate of dumplings at Verity.

"Here. Eat them. Get fat."

	"No thanks. I like my rice, thank you," Verity said with a grin, although she completely ignored her own statement and stole a dumpling. Just one, though. She didn't need any more. "So. Shopping after this?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Al eyed the dumpling that Verity took and then plopped a Spring Roll on her plate for good measure. They were so going for ice cream for dessert. She pretended to consider that. "Shopping," she said. "Sounds like a brilliant idea." That, at least, was one thing they had in common. And a very important thing it was too. (Reply to this) (Parent)
