*groaning inwardly, Lu sends a smile back to the 2 most lazy students she ever had*
"No, you do not actually disturb, but you can get detention nonetheless if you like."
*her smile grows more dangerous*
"As far as I remember it's NOT a Hogsmeade weekend, and even if it was, this is London! Just for your information, in case you have taken the wrong turn at some point."

*Bern chokes on his coffee*
*Mutters* They're disturbing me ...
*Gives the girls a sickly smile*
And how's my so-called niece?
*Jerks his head in Lu's direction, and whispers to Ellie from behind his hand*
She so wants me.

*Dinah was not sure how to react after being forcibly seated next to a man who looked like a half-insane, half-lunatic squirrel and her potions teacher who both terrified and fascinated her. Ms Black terrified her, simply by being a potions teacher. Her fascination was caused by the professor's appearance; her clothes had the effect of equating sexiness with efficiency* *Whispers to Ellie* Why are we sitting here with Ms. Black and Mr. Squirrel? Where is the rockstar you were talking about? Ellie whispered. Mr. Squirrel knows the address! She made round innocent eyes and looked from Bernard to Ms. Black. - London?! Ohmy, we did take a wrong turn! She slapped her front dramatically. Me and my horrible sense of direction ... otherwise I am fine, uncle Bernie.She leaned closer to Bernard, trying to do a Muffliato for Ms. Black's part of the booth. - We will be gone again in a second, we only need the address of the band that did the signing at your shop last month. Give it to me and you can continue your flirtation - and I will leave a nice gift at your doorstep. Ellie cast a meaningful glance around the booze-free table. |

*smiles sweetly* sorry professor, we just have some very important business to take care of. Then we're going right back to work on our potion skills.
*turns to Ellie*
Oh right, you sure about this?
*looks at Blotts* no offense, but he looks like his social life is even more limited than mine. Are you sure he wasn't drunk when he told you about his "connections"?

*Bern raises his eyebrow, doing his Beethoven impression as he stares at the clearly very insane girl*
My dearest darling niece ...
*He says, stressing the word "niece"*
I know where he lives, but he's a god-damn vampire! You'd be mad to interfere with him during daylight, and especially at night. Unless you have something better than hobbit weed, or a bottle of whiskey that's older than you are, I'm afraid it's no dice ...
*Frowns, and stares at the blonde girl*
You kids! With your ridiculous slang, and your handshakes that take a quarter of an hour! I'll have you know I have a glittering social life! From the first mouthful of whiskey with my morning cigarette, to that last bottle of corner shop piss at two in the morning, I spend loads of time with people! Even when I don't want to!
*Looks at Lu, and gesticulates wildly*
Tell them! I'm so cool you can keep a side of beef in me for a week! I'm so hip I have trouble seeing over my pelvis!

*The muffliato spell cast by the spikey haired girl isn't very strong, so Lu can follow the conversation, only like with cotton in her ears. The last thing she has heard clearly was Bern's silly assumption she could be interested in him. It makes her giggle so much that she almost doesn't pay attention to the rest what is said.*
If one flatters him he will calm down. Mostly.
"Yes, Bernard, your social life is absolutely astonishing. I don't know how you could fit in this boring business breakfast after what you are used to from your nights out! I am very grateful."
*She pats his hand, trying with her other arm to move the bag with the books closer to her. Actually she wants him to give the girls the address -any address- so she can finally pay the meal and get on with her resarch.*
*Turning to Miss Manning, Lu tries to keep up the teacher's attitude, even though she still wants to laugh about the whole situation.*
"I very much hope so, Ms Manning! We'll see if your skills have improved next week."
*She includes Ms Waters into her forced stern stare. After that, her attention goes back to Bernard, lightly Imperio'ing him to make him reveal the rock singer's address.*

Ellie grinned at Dinah.
- Sure he was drunk, but the shop made arrangements for the signing, and they are bound to have the address in their files, she wispered back.
She scooted closer to Bern and tugged at his sleeve.
- Please, Bernie-uncle! I know you are a nice person, and you are concerned about us. That is very sweet of you, but the Vampire won't harm us. We only want an autograph, perhaps a photo.
In return you will get a bottle full of stuff older than my dad!
For herself the excursion had already been successful, catching a teacher at a date. Business breakfast, ha!
Only her new friend was hoping for excitement and she didn't want to let Dinah down.

*laughs at Blotts reply* Sorry, you do actually seem pretty cool. At least for someone your age. *she thought the professor and Mr. squirrel was kind of an odd couple, and would never have guessed that Ms. Black would go for someone like him. But then again, whatever rocked her boat. Besides, Black and Blotts did have a nice sound to it. She wondered if they had ever considered opening a bed and breakfast together* Ellie grinned at Dinah. - Sure he was drunk, but the shop made arrangements for the signing, and they are bound to have the address in their files, she wispered back. Sounds good. Just one thing, please pretend with me that I'm at least 17. I'll be turning 17 any time now anyways. It's almost like I'm of age. Maybe not mentally you say, but at least on paper. It should seriously be a criminal offense to have children late in the year. |

~Juliette walked inside the open door and headed to an empty table. She smiled, sitting her papers down on a chair and sat down.~
So Miss Noelle, What questions can I answer for you today?

She looked at the barmaid
"Earl grey if you 'ave it please."
She ran a hand through her blomde hair and smiled.
"Well zen...Fire away!"

-Noelle leans forward-
Over the past year I've made myself rather well known in the entertainment business, so discretion is obviously something I would require, but I've also a knack for getting myself in... how do you say? Undesireable situations, if you will. Quite a few that have left me me, I won't sugar coat it, on the verge of death. For the most part I've managed to hide away myself without notice, but now that people are closely watching me I won't be able to do that so easily. I need to know that if I hire you, you can keep your mouth shut if things like that occur. I also need you to know that I will only tell you the things that are absolutely necessary to heal me, for your own protection.
-the waitress brought their drinks and noelle thanked her and watched her trot off before turning back to Juliette in French-
I understand completely if you would rather not partake in being my personal healer, but if you are, I promise you will be well paid and well taken care of.
-she takes a sip of her tea as she waits for juliette's response-

~Juliette sat there and silently listened and occasionally sipped her tea.~
But of course Madame. I am usually a quiet person. Every secret or piece of information I've been told has never again slipped my mouth.
~She finished her tea and sat the cup back down with a slight clink.~
I do not mind being in dangerous situations. So if your life calls for it then so be it.

-Noelle smiles with a sigh of relief-
Perfect, I'll send a patronus whenever I need you then.
-reaches out and shakes her hand-
Please excuse me, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I've an apointment with my manager and she won't be pleased if I'm late. It's a pleasure doing business with you, and I'll see you soon.

~Juliette smiled and nodded again. SHe was happy to have found the extra job. Perhaps now she could afford to buy that big place she always wanted. She didn't need all the room but she liked the space. She reached out and shook the womans hand, remaining seated while she watched her new employer walk out.~
Barmaid...something stronger please!
~She smiled, pleased with herself.~
