The girls entered the three broomsticks to find Teddy and Agertha huddled in a corner talking amongst themselves, completely oblivious to their new arrival.
"Fancy seeing you here." Riley called to the others.
Teddy, lost in conversation almost jumped at Riley's words.
"Blimey, way to give a guy a heart attack!" Teddy laughed. Agertha blushed slightly.
"How has your morning been?" Agertha asked politely.
"Good, we have been indoors for the most part. We bought some "supplies" from Honeydukes earlier" Riley answered.
"The company hasn't been too bad either." Elanora smirked
Riley and Teddy started laughing whilst Agertha gave Elanora a knowing smile.
"I'll go and order us some butterbeer." Agertha said softly.
Teddy hurried to follow after the girl, adament on paying.
"Boys." The girls muttered. Causing the other to laugh.
The couples were enjoying their third round of butterbeer when somebody entered the three broomsticks with their hood up, the weather outside must have started up. Whoever it was made their way slowly, almost unsure of themself but ultimately approaching the group. Riley had a gut feeling and decided to run with it. "Arlin?" She inquired. The four of them heard a low chuckle, the boy took off his hood to reveal the young Gryffindor.
"Nothing gets passed you now does it Riley." The younger boy smiled at her.
Riley grinned back. "Care for a butterbeer?" She asked.
"No-" Arlin barely got the word out before Teddy cut in
"Hold on, what are you doing here?" The three women looked at him confused. "Well he's a second year ain't he." Teddy half stated half questioned.
"I am, Professor McGonagall sent me. She wants you to see her when you return Riley, in her office." The boy said.
Riley looked at him, puzzled. "Why did she need to send someone to tell me that?"
Arlin looked down at his hands. "Well, she sort of seemed.. frazzled." He finished.
Riley got up and made to leave when a hand gently held onto her.
"When you return, Ri. Not "run back this minute the castle is on fire." Elanora smiled a small smile. Riley considered her words for a second.
"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you. It's not like her to send someone to find me for it to not be important." Riley squeezed Elanora's hand before heading out the door.
Elanora went to follow but Arlin stopped her. "The headmisstress wanted me to ask you to give them some time. She didn't explain why but she hoped you would understand." Arlin shrugged.
Elanora sighed and went back to her seat. She looked over at Arlin. "It's not everyday a second year gets to go to Hogsmeade. Come on then, have a butterbeer with us."
