~Starbucks~
n. a coffee shop that is taking over the world...err...oops
For all I know he could secretly be a model for male muggle magazines…
Rose Weasley was looking intently at Scorpius Malfoy. After all Rose Weasely, does not stare.
Apparently she might have been looking a little too intently because Scorpius looked back at her. She quickly looked down and took a sip of her black coffee. It was strong and bitter just the way she liked it.
Somehow James Sirius Potter (a hex on him) suddenly decided that since it was after all some random holiday that he suddenly decided to invent, it was a "great" idea to have a gathering at a muggle café called "Starbucks"(1). He'd invited a few of our friends from Hogwarts to join in the fun.
"Merlin! Who names a café Starbucks?" Hugo muttered as he got his cup of coffee from the counter. Scorpius smoothly ordered something and the girl working at the counter looked more than a little frazzled.
Rose laughed quietly into her cup and smiled as Albus came over to sit with her at her table for four at a little corner of the coffee shop decorated with colorful paintings.
"You know I was just thinking that maybe James couldn't have invited more people to this 'get together' for "Unofficial Holiday". Not to mention the name is about as uncreative as it gets. Who names a 'holiday' Unofficial Holiday?" He muttered.
"Tell me about it. I don't think this little café can get stuffed with any more people. Or that the staff could be any happier to handle a bunch of teens that don't know how to use muggle currency." Rose said, giggling a little.
Oh, Circe I did not just giggle out loud…
"I do too know how to use muggle currency." Scorpius said as he sat down in a seat next to Albus and across from Rose. An adorable pout was featured on his face.
Bad Rose don't you even continue that thought…
"Do you?" She managed to snap out.
"You know what? I'm just going to leave you two to your…ah, debate." Albus said as he smirked evilly and got up to go and sit with Teddy and Lily who were having another debate about which was better: Potions or Transfigurations.
"You know I think the girl at the counter has a crush on you." She blurted out for the lack of anything better to say."
Stupid, stupid, stupid! Why didn't you say something remotely intelligent?
"Oh? Well I didn't notice." Scorpius said coolly and raised an eyebrow. "As a matter of fact how did you figure that out?"
Why does everyone except me know how to do that thing with they're eyebrows?!
"Well she was looking at you and…" Rose trailed off.
"So now anyone looking at me has a crush on me?"
"Well, no but she was looking at you."
"I'm afraid you're going to have to elaborate on that." His voice was tinged with amusement.
"Look I just know."
"Do you? Care to tell me how?"
"Ugh, I just know that she has a crush on you."
"She doesn't even know my name so prove it." He was looking triumphant at his 'faultless' logic.
This is going to be a long conversation…Rose thought as she took a sip of her coffee.
