Who: Nikolas Vaisey and Lucy Elkins When: Saturday, two o'clock Where: Hogsmeade, Dervish and Banges What: Just a friendly meeting Rating: TBD Open/Closed: Openish - I'm sure they could run into someone if anybody else wants in!
After having spent an hour or so talking with Lucy Elkins in the tower the week before, Nikolas had decided that he found her to be a fairly interesting and, well, remarkable, person. Sure, this evaluation was based upon that one actual conversation and a few brief exchanges after classes over the years, but he thought it couldn't hurt to see if she wanted to meet up at Hogsmeade. After all, isn't that how one built a friendship? If you find someone enjoyable to be around, why shouldn't you spend more time with them? That's how you get to know someone. Nikolas had rationalized this, and he wasn't quite sure why he felt he had to.
Though originally thinking he might see if Daphne wanted to meet again, Nikolas remembered that they'd be spending nearly a week together in another country short time. Did he really want to add on more? So, he'd had lunch with Harper instead, who appeared to be coming down with a cold and kept blowing his nose and coughing rather terribly. Though Nikolas hadn't said anything, he'd found the whole thing to be rather more disgusting and less enjoyable that he'd hoped it would be. the boys had parted ways shortly after, Harper intending to make haste back to the castle and return to his bed. For his part, Nikolas had spent the remaining hour or so milling through the streets sipping at large cup of steaming coffee.
As he now drew up to Dervish and Banges, he kept an eye out for Lucy and leaned against one of the large windows that fronted the business.
