Such A Lovely Escort {Daphne}

[Theodore Nott]

::A few hours after he had fallen asleep in his secret chamber, Theodore finds himself invigorated, ready to take on the world. Headmaster Snape has agreed to speak with him, this is good news, very good news indeed. On his quest to become a powerful wizard he's found a few bumps in the road, bumps the size of mountains as far as he was concerned. He needs to find the Hallows, and it seems as though no one believes, or wishes to share any bit of information. Hopefully his old Potions professor can help him answer a few questions.::

::With plenty of time to spare before he has to trudge up to the school he decides to totter about the almost empty lanes, ignoring the sharp wind pulling at his black silk cloak.::

[Daphne Greengrass]

*Daphne throws open the door of the Three Broomsticks, bracing herself against the cold night air. She throws her head back, taking a large drink of the Wytches Brew that Theo bought her earlier as she walks. When she lowers her gaze to eye level again, she sees she's almost run into the wizard that bought her the drink. She jumps.*

Theo! My, it seems you haven't gotten far. You left the Three Broomsticks hours ago!

*Laughs, rolling her eyes.*

I should have left with you. Instead, I've had to suffer through the endless flirting of Caius and Pansy.

[Theodore Nott]

::Is certainly surprised to run into Daphne, he's had a nap since he left The Broomsticks, and it seems she's just leaving. He notices she still holding the bottle her purchased for her.::

::Smiles charmingly down to the witch.::

What a pleasant surprise, Daphne. I most certainly didn't expect to see you again so soon.

::Pulls his hood back just enough to keep his view of her unobstructed. Nods to the pub behind, rolling his eyes before returning his gaze to her. He is most thankful he left when he did, if Caius and Pansy were now flirting he'd likely have vomited if he witnessed such an event. But, the thought of Astoria fuming over the fact Caius isn't showing her any interest is almost a good enough reason for him to go back.::

I'm sure that would be something to see... Shall we return?

::Looks back to the pub again with an almost wistful expression. If only he hadn't had an appointment with Headmaster Snape in a bit's time then he could go back and help antagonize the witch, but alas, he does, and not too much time left to spare before he needs to head up to the castle.::

::Waves hand dismissing the thought of returning to the pub.::

Nevermind... I've other matters...

::Turns his attention back to Daphne, and offers her another friendly smile.::

Off for home then?

[Daphne Greengrass]

*Frowns when he mentions returning, but her frown dissolves when he changes his mind. Raises an eyebrow at Theo's enigmatic statement, and strokes her chin thoughtfully.*

Other matters, hmm? And what, dare I ask, would those entail? I was headed home, but... now you've got me wondering.

*Smiles mischievously.*

[Theodore Nott]

::Shrugs, not about to let her in on the full details of his ultimate plan.::

I've a meeting with Headmaster Snape, it came on a bit suddenly, I'd still be asleep if it hadn't been for his return owl snapping it's beak at me.

::Jerks his head in the direction of Hogwarts. He was planning on walking up to the gate, but with how cold it is out tonight he's thinking better of it.::

I had a bit of spare time left so I've been walking the streets, feeling a bit nostalgic.

[Daphne Greengrass]

*Her eyes widen and she watches him, her impish grin still intact.*

I see. Sounds like quite an excursion, I'd say.

*Her face falls and she sighs, feigning sudden sadness.*

'Tis awful that I've nothing to do tonight, when they're-

*Nods in the direction of the Three Broomsticks.*

-having such fun and you're visiting Headmaster Snape...

*Averts her eyes to the pavement and bats her eyelashes.*

[Theodore Nott]

::Smirks confidently, catching her hint. Naturally any witch would love to have Theodore's company, or at least that's what he's thinking.::

::Politely, allowing her to think he is concerned about her entertainment level.::

You are more than welcome to join me. Of course it will all be a bunch of boring mumbo jumbo you wouldn't be interested in, but perhaps afterward you could join me for a refreshment at my home.

::Offers his arm, trying to butter her up.::

It would be a way for me to repay you for keeping me company on a boring journey.

[Daphne Greengrass]

*Her eyes gleam at his offer, pretending he thought of this plan on his own.*

Really? Oh, I don't want to be a bother, but... I would love to go with you.

*Smiles.*

You'd be surprised what I'm interested in, I dare say.

*Takes his arm, brushes a strand of blond hair from in front of her face and looks up at him, thoroughly excited.*

[Theodore Nott]

::Holds the warm friendly smile as she takes his arm, and chortles.::

I'm sure I would be most pleasantly surprised. Nothing more attractive in a witch than brains.

::Winks, patting her hand softly with his cold hand. It seems as though she is falling for his charm, this could end up being a great night after all.::

Please hold a bit tighter, love. We'll be just outside the gates in the wave of a wand.

::Turns sharply, disappearing with Daphne in haze of black smoke.::
