They were books, not magical by any means nor were they particularly important to her but they were books which were important in general, in her opinion, and did not warrant the sort of treatment snotty first years were giving them. She was trying to explain this to a witch who was working at Flourish and Blotts.

"It's gotten ridiculous how much spell-o-tape we have to go through and here I am having to buy more, on my own time, because we can't keep up with the damage Peeves is causing too... how much? Oh. Here."

Lyra fished out a few sickles to pay for it and gathered up her stack of books and dropped the tape into her purse. She was in a hurry to get back to the castle so when she stepped outside the shop and in a rush she didn't see the person she ran right into. Her books went flying and she stumbled forward, balance lost completely. Lyra pitched forward and fell onto her knees with a painful thud.

"RAVING ROWENA!"

"Fergus," he offered, taking her hand and then bringing it to his lips to kiss her knuckles instead of shaking it. He smiled at her above it, eyes wrinkling at the edges, and then he lowered her hand and gave her a shrug. "Smart mum, but I wouldn't say we're strangers. I did just knock you out on a busy sidewalk, and all. If that doesn't make someone a new friend, I don't know what does."

She really had to convince herself she was doing nothing wrong. It was him making these very... very obvious sort of moves. A kiss on the hand? She only ever knew blokes who played women to do that. And old grandpas.

Lyra drew her hand back and adjusted where her purse was held on her shoulder. She then tucked a strand of dark hair behind her ear and offered a sigh in reply, as if giving in.

"I suppose so... just one, then?" she would normally have the audacity to make him carry her books but something kept her from being so bold. Dark eyes, dark hair, a different face in the back of her mind. "Where?"

"Wherever you want, love," He smiled that same easy smile again, looking about. "The Leaky is closest, I guess. Or Martini? Suppose it depends on how much your knees hurt, now, how much you want to make me pay."

He laughed as if he'd made a joke, though he was serious about going wherever she wanted. Have her feel like she was calling the shots and all that. Something caught his eye as he was looking for her answer, though, and he turned away from her to retrieve it.

"Oy... spell-o-tape. Did I knock this loose from you too?"

"Leaky," she said at once. It wasn't that she liked it much more and in fact, she had been interested in Martini but she didn't feel adequately dressed for that place nor did she want to make him pay that much. A place like that was more suitable for.. a date. Which, this was not.

"Ah, yes, thanks," she reached for it, tucked it back in her purse. "Bought it for work..." she trailed off as they began walking toward The Leaky Cauldron.

"For work at Hogwarts Library," she decided to elaborate. "We have so many books being mistreated and magic to repair them all his exhausting, so .. spell-o-tape."
