Heyyyyy people. This is my first time writing on this site, so I'm sorry if there are some technical errors. haha... Sorry. You're welcome to leave any kind of review. I had this idea through a dream to be honest. It was the first time I had ever had such a detailed dream. :-D.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter... And I sure as hell am not JK Rowling... She's so cool though... *sigh*
The dark haired girl slammed her palm onto the table with a lazy grin.
"I'm really sorry, gentlemen. But I'm afraid I've won this round. Pay up"
The two men (who looked nothing like gentlemen by the way) wore worried expressions as they exchanged a glance.
The man with the scraggly beard leaned over to the one without and whispered in his ear. Although it was quite clear what he had to say.
They had nothing to pay with.
The redhead beside the dark haired girl, put her long arms behind her head casually, turning to look at her companion who gave her a firm nod.
"Gentlemen, we understand that you have no more money. But", the redhead drew out the word, "I seem to remember that only this evening you both were boasting all about the pub that you had in your possession two tickets to a cruise ship"
The two men looked flabbergasted.
"Well, I - I... Those are our tickets to the Galaxy. She's leaving port tomorrow, you see, and is going on a cruise to the East. South Korea is her destination, I've been told", said the man with the clean-shaven face.
The girls looked at each other with a triumphant smile.
"Then, you can give us those tickets, and we'll consider your debt settled!", said the dark haired girl, throwing them a smug smile.
The two of them spoke among themselves again. The face of the man with the beard broke into a smile, seeming a bit pleased with himself.
"Fine, then. We agree. On one condition. That you both take the package that came with the tickets"
The redhead rubbed her chin thoughtfully, "What's in the package?"
"Nothing dangerous, don't worry. Just a pair of tuxedos"
"Right. And why do you want to give us these tuxedos?"
"They're hardly any use to us. We were planning to wear them on the ship, but seeing how that's not going to happen..", he trailed off.
The redhead continued to be apprehensive, while the other girl agreed enthusiastically.
"Alright, done"
The four people at the table stood up. One of the men took out the tickets from a pocket while the other handed the package which had been beside his feet. Both the girls received them with excitement and made to leave the dingy pub.
"Wait. What are your names?", said the bearded man, curious to know the people who had bested him.
When the girls turned around, they had wide grins plastered on their face.
"Lily"
"Phoenix"
Turning on their heels at the same time, the two of them linked their arms and stepped out of the building.
