Michael shuffled his last paper from his desk into the out tray before glancing at the clock. Not for the first time, he wondered if he'd have time to stop by his flat before meeting Alicia. Twenty 'til five he thought, leaning back in his chair. He could either try and be productive or he could use that extra twenty minutes to swing by his flat. After turning the thought over in his head, Michael decided to slip out twenty minutes early. Packing up his desk took less time than he thought, and in no time he was glancing outside of his cubicle and striding purposely towards the door.
Reaching his flat, he shrugged out of his robes and suit in exchange for jeans, t-shirt, and trainers. Grabbing his quidditch bag in case they managed a pick up game, he headed out the door and apperated to Hogsmeade. Finding Alicia in the field was fairly easy since he was sure she'd be the only one with so many little brooms. On second thought, they weren't little, they were tiny. Waving a bit in greeting, he dropped his bag and returned the hug, chuckling a bit at her enthusiasm.
"I'm glad I could help, especially if this is the thanks I'll get." he said smiling so she knew that he didn't mean anything by it. "Mum said much the same thing" he replied ruefully. "And yes this should be fun. They're so small, they'll hold me right?" he asked eying the small broom she held in one hand.
