There was a good dusting of snow on the ground, which wasn't too unusual for that time of year when temperatures tended to average around 5°C to 7°C. Roger could see his breath as he breathed a little heavier on his trek from Honeydukes to Madam Rosmerta's pub. The Three Broomsticks Inn loomed in front of him soon enough and it wasn't too long before he was entering the pub portion of the establishment.

Shaking the snow off his shoulders, he scanned the pub for Lucy before spotting her in a somewhat secluded portion of the place. A smile crossed his face, before he headed in the direction of the slender blonde. It was always nice seeing the younger Ravenclaw, even after leaving Hogwarts. They had cultivated quite the relationship and she was, to Roger, the sister he never had the blessing of having before.

"I hope you haven't been waiting for too long," he said, smiling at her as he undid his scarf and took his jacket off. His gloves soon followed, before he pulled a box out of the Honeydukes bag he had with him and presented her with it. "I thought I would stop somewhere and get you something first. I don't know what they're feeding you up there, but I know that you can't ever have enough sweets." The boxed contained a mixture of Honeydukes' productions, including Chocoballs, Chocolate Frogs, Fizzing Whizzbees, Ice Mice, and, of course, Sugar Quills.

"Oh come now, you know I would rather spend my time with you over anyone else. Save for Madam Rosmerta. You think she'd ever take me up on a date?" He asked teasingly, knowing that particular schoolboy fantasy was one that a lot of other Hogwarts students had and was impossible.

Ruffling her hair again and getting it nice and messy, he teased, "Besides, we should get you back before your bedtime."

"I think Madam Rosmerta is quite happy dating men her own age," Lucy told him, smiling broadly.

She groaned slightly, then, under his messy touch and she swatted away at his hands. Doing her best to flatten out the damage she scrunched her nose at him in response.

"Hmph! Bedtimes.." she grumbled slighly, a small smile pulling at her lips. "I'm not fourteen anymore, you know."

"Are you sure? You still look fourteen to me," he laughed as they made their way to the castle. The path was familiar, despite not having walked it since he had left. It had been years, but it only felt like yesterday to him that he had been walking up and down this very path with his mates.

Time really did fly when you weren't paying attention to it.

"Bet you still have footie pajamas with bunny ears."

"Tucked away in a trunk, of course," she told him smartly, turning up her nose slightly in pride.

As they fell into step along the few crowds managing their way back to Hogwarts, Lucy felt as if it was like old times, having Roger among the crowd. It had been a little while now since Roger had been a student and Lucy found she often missed him while lounging in the Common Room.

"And if I still look fourteen, then what does that say about you, hm?"

"That I'm a very lovely young man for offering to walk you back up to the castle before it got too dark," he said, sniffing at her before burying his hand in her side and tickling her for a brief moment.

Grinning wide, he said, "Because I have no idea what else you might mean to imply!"

The others on the path back to Hogwarts stared a little, but left them alone for the most part. The older students remembered him from his days at the school, while the younger ones might have seen a game or two of his. But thankfully no one approached them in the last few minutes leading up to the castle.

When they finally reached the gates, Roger paused there and scooped her up into a big hug. "It was nice to see you again Luce."

She let out a laugh as Roger attacked her side. She did her best to dart away from him, peals of laughter escaping from her lips. She was quite ticklish, indeed, and she knew that Roger knew that. Damn bugger attacking her insecurities like that.

She threw him a slight scowl as she promptly fixed herself following his small tirade. She had barely noticed the brief glances they had received. As they approached the gates, Lucy found herself rather sad that her time with Roger was coming to a close.

She hugged him back tightly, her eyes closing for a small moment as she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck. "You too, Roger. I'm glad you decided to come out."

"I'm glad I did too. We should do this again sometime," he said, giving her one last squeeze before letting her go. Pushing her hair back from her face and tucking it behind an ear, he gave her a wink. "That is, if you're not too busy being chased by boys the next time I see you."

It wasn't as noticeable, but there were some boys that were looking at him enviously for reasons other than Quidditch. He knew that look. He had worn that look.

Leaning down, he gave her a little peck on the cheek, while simultaneously poking her side. Darting away with a laugh, he said, "Don't eat all those sweets at once!"

Lucy almost immediately rolled her eyes. Such statements were arbitrary considering her luck with boys wasn't what she would say was parallel to Roger's luck with girls. She put her hands on her hips as she cocked her head to the side. "That is one thing you'll not have to worry about-"

But before she could spin another tale of self-deprecation, Roger had poked at her side causing her to jump in reaction. She swatted again at his hand again.

"Goodbye, Roger," she told him, eying him in her attempt to scold. But she gave up and smiled at him instead.

	Walking backwards and nimbly avoiding bumping into anyone, he stopped just outside of the wards that prevented Apparating on school grounds and waved at her. Then he disappeared with a wide smile. (Reply to this) (Parent)
