Tommy ran into the Leaky Cauldron and sat down at a table. He sighed miserably and walked up to the counter.
" One butter beer please " he said to Tom the landlord.
" Coming up " said Tom and he passed the drink to him.
" Thanks " muttered Tommy and he threw down the change.
He sat down and sipped the drink as he read the daily prophet. He watched people coming in and out of the pub smiling and laughing with their friends. He finished his drink and got up ready to leave but a hand touched his and motioned him to sit.
" I'd refill that drink if I were you " said Virginia as she sat down beside him. She left down her wand on the table.
" I thought you wern't...didn't you say..."
" I had a change of heart " said Virginia. " I was passing by and I..."
Tommy smiled.
" Okay ...Okay I came to see you. Just dont get all mushy on me please " said Virginia.
He smiled at her. " Why did you come?"
She shrugged. " I...I...you see...I dont know...I just felt I had too."
" Hey " said Virginia. " Why are you here. Do you normally always come here exactly at 3.30?"
He blushed. " I was hoping that in some mad coincidence you would appear."
She smiled. " Well I guess you were right."
" So what stuff do you need for school?" asked Tommy.
" Well I need all my ingrediants , and a couple of books , oh and a broom."
" A broom."
" Yes I intend to try out for the quidditch team this year. I love the sport."
He smiled. " Did you know Victor Krum is coming to the school to teach Flying Lessons and coach the quidditch teams this year?"
" No, But it sounds great."
He nodded. " It should be. Dont worry Virignia. I'm sure you'll fit in. All you need is a bit of confidence."
" Thanks Tommy. I'll remember that."
