Archie had been in the house all day working on his lesson plans for the week. He didn't remember his mother having to work this hard to figure out what to teach and how to teach it, but maybe part of that was that she had already been doing it for a while by the time that she had Archie.
Deciding that he'd spent enough time pouring over books, he left the little house at the end of Hogsmeade and made his way through town. Since he didn't really have anything to do, he thought about going to the school and working on his office and classroom. However, before he did that, he decided to go get a bottle of butterbeer.
Making his way into Three Broomsticks, he slid his eyes over the crowd to see if there was anyone in there that he recognized, someone to talk to over his drink. When his eyes fell on a blonde girl in the corner, they narrowed. Taking his bottle from the bar, he walked over towards her table. "Hey. Mind if I join you? Or is this a rule breaking party for one?" Of course, he was referring to the fact that she was out of the school without permission.
