I scan the shelves eagerly, looking for Hermangio Cristoph's latest book - Brew of Resentment: How Broomstick Regulations and Silver-Stealing Contributed to the Belgium Massacre of 1650. I know it has to be here... somewhere.
Hm. Is that it over there? I think, spying a large, shiny new gold and scarlet book. As I reach up to get it, I don't notice where I'm walking, and smash right into...

Angel looked around the store for something, anything, to read. She looked up and saw a shiny, new, gold and scarlet book. She reached up to get it but accidently bumped into someone. "I'm sorry," she said instantly, looking at the person she bumped into.

"Oh, hi," I say, flashing a quick grin and then bowing. "Sorry about that, fair lady."

Angel smiled. "Name's Angel. Angel Simons."

"Luke Chekoya," I say with a head flourish. "Seventh-year Ravenclaw at Hogwarts. And that book up there is mine." I tilt my head up to the scarlet-and-gold one.

"Sorry about that," she said softly. "You can have it. I'm only looking but if you want it then it's yours. I'm a Hufflepuff, Seventh year also," she added, groaning at the Hufflepuff part.

"Oh... I didn't mean to sound mean," I say quickly. "I was only joking, obviously." I lean in close and whisper. "I haven't really bought it yet." Then I lean back and grin, tilting my head. "Nothing wrong with being Hufflepuff."

"You can have it if you want to," she said quietly, looking around for a book again. "I don't even know what it is. Hufflepuff is an okay house, when you get past the hundreds of giggling girls all saying how amazing Sirius' hair looked this morning."

I start laughing immediately but then force myself to stop. "They don't talk about mine?" I ask, trying to look hurt.

"No one even knows who you are," she laughed. "I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. How can I ever make it up to you?"

I stand there for a moment, mouth open in an expression halfway between a laugh and indignation. "No one knows who I am? Well... I'll just have to change that." And I grin, reaching up for the book. "But first I'm going to read this. And... escort you somewhere if you like. You don't have to make it up to me."

"Where would you like to escort me? I have no where to be and I don't mind where we go," she said, turning to look at him. "What is this book anyway?"

"Brew of Resentment," I say excitedly, running a hand down the glossy cover. "It's about the goblin wars, which are really improperly named, you know..." I stop before I go off on a tangent. "I dunno; I was thinking I'd go get some ice cream after I left here, and it would be rude not to invite you. But you wanted to get a book first, right?"
((Gotta go.))

"Sounds like a good book," Angel smiled. "I can wait, they have things in the library to read. Ice cream then?"

"Just as soon as I buy this," I nod, moving toward the counter. "Walked out with one last week because I was already busy reading it. The manager wasn't too happy."

"What a stupid thing to do. But its okay because I just called myself stupid, because I do that all the time." I said noticing Angel, and a guy.

"Well, thank you," I say, trying to sound offended. "Who might you be?" I frown. She looks vaguely familiar.

"What? You forgot who I am already? Well I remember you. Your Luke. But I won't try to pretend being offended, because I'm a horrible actress. I'll just let you know that my name is Cassy." I said.

"Oh! Hi Cassy!" I grin. "You were the girl who asked me all those questions, weren't you?"

"Yes that would be me. And your the one who tried to fix Arden with Reparo because she was 'broken'. And your the one who called us hot. You have a chinchilla and your friends describe you as you. Oh and I had a something to tell you, but you left before I could!" I said with a grin.

"Oh? And what was that?" I ask, grinning back. "This is Angel by the way, and we're getting ice cream. You can join us if you want."

"I know Angel aleady. Shes one of my besties. I wanted to tell you that next time you think a girl is hot say she is pretty because somepeople like me will take hot as an insult. And ice cream! You just said the magic word. Its full of sugar so count me in." I said.

"Okay, cool," I say, paying for the book and then trying to offer each of them an arm. "And why would hot be an insult?"

"Its something that a boy wouldn't understand. Some girls wouldn't agree with me, but my opinions are what make me me." I said.

"Told you I was right. Last time someone called me hot, I gave him a black eye. So watch out." I said.

"Well... that probably confused the poor fellow," I say, heading out to get ice cream with Angel and checking that Cassy's still with us.

"Nah. He practically dared me too. Didn't think I could do it. An empty threat he thought it was." I said.
