ass_teaWhere: Hogsmeade
When: ~Oct 2019 (third year)
Quick link: Map of Hogsmeade
The weather was cold, but it felt incredibly good to be outside, Albus thought, as he was herded alongside Scorpius in a group of twittering third-year Slytherin students down the path and into the town of Hogsmeade for the very first time. Though the weather had been growing steadily worse, that only meant Alby felt increasingly more restless, pent up within the castle walls. Now Alby was looking forward to actually being able to burn off some of that excess energy outside today, and he was sure that Scorp would probably be thankful as well. Alby was never sure whether his overly bouncy nature really got on Scorp's nerves more than the other was willing to let on.
Casting that thought aside, Alby looked around excitedly as the first buildings came into view on the main street. There was so much he wanted to see and do in the small village - of course he'd never really explored it himself, other than the train station where the Hogwarts Express stopped every year, but his mother, father, and James had all told him countless stories about what there was to do in Hogsmeade, and Alby was more than eager to experience it for himself. The first building up on the right was the Three Broomsticks - a cheery little pub that served butterbeer at a good price. Alby was definitely planning on a stop there today. Further down the street, he knew, were shops that sold everything from joke merchandise (though he was kept relatively well-stocked by his cousin Fred and Uncle George) to every type of candy imaginable. There were also more cafes and pubs, including the famous Hog's Head pub Alby had heard numerous stories about. If he squinted, he could even see the Shrieking Shack up to their left, away from the main street as the huddle of boys finally stepped into the town proper and began arguing loudly about what to do first. Ahead of them, older students from various houses had already arrived and were laughing and talking as they made their way towards their favorite stop.
"I want to head over and get a couple butterbeers," Alex Moran was saying; Joe Wenlock rolled his eyes, but it was clear he'd follow his best friend to whichever pub he chose. Alby supposed butterbeer was okay - it was rather cold outside - but he didn't know if he was ready for one just yet. There were more important things to do!
"What about the Shrieking Shack?" he asked, pointing down the path and bouncing on his toes; Zach Sawbridge made a face and said, "You know it's not haunted, Alby - that myth's been out of date for decades." Alby just made a face - of course he knew! He knew exactly how the "haunted house" had got its name - as well as a number of other important things, only compounding the number of reasons he wanted to go. But then, he didn't exactly expect most of his yearmates to understand. He glanced at Scorp, frowning - he supposed he'd better hear what his own best friend wanted to do, before he started making plans.
[OOC: I think it wasn't exactly public knowledge about the Marauders using the Shrieking Shack for when Lupin changed? Or that Snape died there, etc. I'm thinking Alby would know because of Harry - if you think any of that should be different, though, let me know and I'll rewrite! They also don't have to head there first thing, if you'd rather they went somewhere else first. ^^]

Date: 2007-10-06 08:08 am (UTC)Alby just grinned, glad his friend was feeling better. Though there were only two biscuits, they seemed to be enough for now; he definitely wouldn't blame Scorpius for staying in bed most of the day if he wanted. Alby settled onto the bed a little more, thinking he'd at least keep his friend company for a while, because it was nice and quiet in here and being alone with Scorpius never seemed to happen enough, sometimes. He ducked his head at the compliment, just shrugging a bit.
"You'd do the same for me," he insisted, because he knew it was true. Things definitely wouldn't be the same around here without Scorpius, and he was glad, he thought, for the way they were.
[OOC: I think here is good~? It really is too bad there's a hangover and being thirteen involved. XD; Alas~ They'll just have to UST and not know it, is all. :D;]

Date: 2007-10-06 08:12 am (UTC)Ooh, I had a good idea, did you want to put off the Ora and Alison aside until beginning of fifth year? That way we can segue it into Scorp and Alby meeting up at King's Cross and feeling a bit awkward. Thoughts? :D
Also, in fourth year, what's Scorp and Alby's excuse for wandering and randomly bumping into Gilbert and Serge?]

Date: 2007-10-06 08:15 am (UTC)Ooh~ That could be fun. >D I kind of like that, because awkward boys are always fun. XD That totally works for me~ Maybe we were just too busy to go out afterwards the first year. :D;
Hm, weren't they actually going to go looking for the Chamber, maybe? Scorpius might've heard it from Ora and Alby might've heard it from Alison, I suppose, so I could see them actually looking for it. Otherwise maybe they're just looking for a good place to study? >> Or practice charms or something? :D;]

Date: 2007-10-06 08:19 am (UTC)I like the idea that they both know about the Chamber, and found a random Saturday/Sunday afternoon to take a study break and see if they can find it! And of course, they do stumble upon it because Gilbert and Serge think they'd make a cute couple. XD EXCELLENT.
Did you want me to start the log? :D I can do it tomorrow after I come back from lab to check on my rats.]

Date: 2007-10-06 08:24 am (UTC)Yeah, it makes sense they both might've heard of it at some point and decide to go looking for it~ And YES. Gilbert and Serge have to keep talking about how cute they are. That would rock. XD
Sure, go ahead and start whenever you get the chance~ Tomorrow is fine, I really should get my ass to bed
three hours ago :D;;. <3!]no subject
Date: 2007-10-06 08:29 am (UTC)Gilbert and Serge have to totally talk about how cute they are as a couple and how much they remind them of their own schooldays or something like that. *squee*
Yeah, it's about bedtime for me too. Night!]
