Between Old Friends (Theodore Nott)[5]

[Seraphina Bloodworth]

*walks down the cobbled, leaf-covered street to enjoy the autumn scenery after closing up the shop, and shivers*

Brrr. When did it ever get so cold this early?

*pulls her hood up over her head, softly muttering to herself*

Might be high time to go pull out that new winter cloak, Seraph.

*sidesteps a group of young children, screeching with laughter coming out of Honeyduke's, pausing to look in the window*

Ohhh, tempting. So very, very tempting.

*stomach promptly grumbles, reminding her she hasn't eaten much today, and debates the merits of chocolate over a well-balanced meal as she stands in front of the window display, a contemplative frown scrunching up her nose*

[Theodore Nott]

*Clicks tongue in annoyance as he escapes the chaos exploding within the famed Honeydukes sweet shop. A set of screaming children, hyper from the piles of candy they've managed to consume before leaving the store, had fled ahead, and Theo was able to slip out passed the door without having to free his hands of the candy filled packages he was carrying. All were gifts to old friends of whom he had not seen in far too long.*

I'll have to order by owl next time...

*Theo watched the hollering children chase each other before choosing to turn himself in the opposite direction. Clearly, he wasn't about to follow the same path as those Devil's spawn.*

*Immediately upon his turning about he comes face-to-cloak with a shorter figure standing before the candy shop's display window. Another irritated click of the tongue is sounded before he moves to step sharply past this loiterer.*

[Seraphina Bloodworth]

*is perusing the exquisite chocolate display when she hears the clicking sound of annoyance, sensing the shadow of a taller figure behind her*

*turns with a frown on her face, and snaps in irritation, not particularly caring that she's being abrasive toward a stranger*

You know, if I'm in your way, perhaps an "excuse me" would be much more effective! What is your bloody problem? Dragon got your tongue?

*blinks in recognition up at him, her eyes going wide as she lowers her hood*

Theo? What in Salazar's name are you doing here? I've never seen you about in Hogsmeade before.

*eyes the packages in his arms with a raised eyebrow, lip curling in a smirk as she glances back up at him*

Stuffing yourself senseless? Or are you hoarding Honeydukes' finest?

*allows herself a sly grin, remembering from their school years that he was fond of sweets, especially the chocolates*
