Leah entered the Three Broomsticks. The chilly December gust blowing hard at her back, sending her long jet black hair whipping on the sides of her face. She shut the door and scanned the room for a fimiliar face.
None.
She put her frozen solid mittens on her coat pockets. She shifted past a large group of Hufflepuff students and sat at a little table at a far corner. A large hefty looking man came up to her.
"What would you like?" He wheezed.
"Just a butterbeer, thanks." Leah's voice sounding like the soft chiming of bells in the wind. The man nodded and went to fetch her drink. Meanwhile Leah took out the Daily Profit and read the latest news about her famous cousin Harry and his little friends Hermione and Ron. She sighed and put the newspaper down and her chin in her hands, watching the rest of the Hogwarts students there having a good time together.

Emma walked into the pub, attempting to use her cloak as a shield from the wind. It didn't work.
"May I sit here?" she asked questioningly, and waited for the answer from the cold, possibly cold-hearted Slytherin girl.
In the wizarding world, it's not always wise to write people off as harmless. Oh wait, no....that's not wise in the muggle world either. Emma had learned that from recent experience. That was over now though, it was done, and Emma was happy. She had to tell herself that every time she got dressed in the new pink outfits she'd bought herself. She had to tell herself that every moment she had that cheery smile plastered on her face. Emma was truly happy when she'd first put that smile there, but now she wasn't so sure. She didn't know it would hurt this much...

Most people searched for a familiar face when they walked into the Three Broomsticks. Emma, this visit at least, tried her best to ignore and avoid familiar faces. She had to frown once in a while.
But Emma saw how happy her friends were when they saw her smiling....and she'd seen how worried they were for the weeks without a grin. She couldn't let them down now.

Leah's head snapped up at the sound of Emma's voice. Someone's actually talking to me?! She thought to herself.
"Sure!" She spluttered. Her voice cracked and she gave a stupid grin. She realized she probably looked insane because she was so estactic that someone was actually talking to her. She moved the newspaper and stood up and held her hand out for Emma to shake it. "Leah... Leah Potter." She smiled warmly.

Wow, she thought, I guess I can totally erase the 'cold-hearted' from that last thought...She smiled. For real this time.
Emma shook the girl's hand and introduced herself. "Emma Swindle." Then came the backflash...Did she just say Leah Potter? A Potter wearing a Slytherin cloak? And she thought she had problems.

"A butterbeer's fine, thanks." She smiled...partly. The happiness at meeting someone friendly who didn't know about her apparent manic depression had slightly faded.
((ooc: naw, he just sounds very very thickly irish:)))

He nodded and strolled off.
Leah turned to Emma. "So what house are you in?" She sipped on her butterbeer and wiped off her face.
[ OH BOY! I'm an large irish waitor! That has always been my dream *_* ]

Emma pulled her curly hair back using a deep blue clip. "Ravenclaw. You?"
((ooc: i'd prefer a job as a lawyer, but yours would be...ummm...interesting?))

"Ravenclaw, eh?" She nodded and smiled. "Slytherin." She sipped butterbeer agian, letting the contents make her insides warm up.
[ Heh, just kidding. Actually I wanted to be an actress or something. ]

"Can I talk to you about something...someone?" Emma asked hesitantly. She hadn't told anyone what really happened. People had bits and peices of the truth, because Emma didn't want people to pity her. But she thought that maybe...just maybe, this girl was different.

"Alright, sure." She looked at Emma with a concerned look on her face.
The man returned and handed Emma her butterbeer. "Would ye ladies be wantin' anythin' else?"
"No thanks."

"No, thanks," Emma said absentmindedly and she stared into her mug.
"Okay. There's a guy. Doesn't it always seem like every tragic story involves a guy? Well, maybe tragic is too strong a word.
"His name is Alex Terringor. He's a Muggle and I dated him for about a year. I know I'm only a first year and the fact that I even had a boyfriend when I was ten is kind of pathetic. But I thought I loved him...." she shook her head softly as her voice trailed off.

Leah blinked. "...What happend?" She spoke softly. She too was sort of going through a little tiffy with a guy herself. [ Tiffy? ; ]

"Anyways, I'm halfblood. That's why I live in a muggle neighborhood. My mom wouldn't give it up....See, I thought I loved him, I thought he loved me. Everything was perfect. Then I got my letter. I told him. That I was a witch. I thought he'd understand."
