((Hey! slow down you two, let Andrea get a few words in! sheesh!))
Andrea had to laugh at the conversation. "Wow, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you two were old friends!" She smiled at Daniel. "It's good to see you again Dan. I was wondering when you'd come visit me. Oh, and actually, I go by Andrea now."

(Sorry Kris dear *hugs*)
As Andrea joined the conversation with a laugh Dan could not help join in, she had a point. Him and Jennifer were talking to each other like they had known each other for a long time but this was how Dan always acted when in a pub. Everyone was your friend as you were all their for the same reason, you all wanted some form of social contact with other people and so having a smile on your face and being civil and friendly was the best way about it.
“It is good to see you too Andrea. I am sorry that I have not been around recently but when you do not drink alcohol you tend not to come to the pub every night.”
Dan made sure to call her by the name she had just referred her self to. He knew it would take a while to get used to it after all he had called her Andie for so long but if that is what she wanted then Dan was happy to change. He had gone through a lot of change in the past few months and adjusting someone’s name was the last of his worries.
Locking his gaze with Andrea Dan gave her a small smile back thinking about the time they were walking around the corridors at night together and she had taken to calling him Professor Bubbles, it was such a long time ago but it seemed like only yesterday.

Andrea smiled back, emerald eyes glittering with that old mischief and humor. True, there was still love in her heart for Dan, but it was more like he was a big brother to her. "So, how have you been lately?" she asked, as she freed her fiery red curls from the cofines of her ponytail. They tumbled down her back, sunlight hitting them and creating a flaming glow. She sighed as she looked around the bar.

Andrea asked him the question that he never really liked asking and with a deep breath Dan knew he could never lie to someone he respected like Andrea so he gave her an honest answer even if it was put in a diplomatic way.
“Considering the circumstances I think I am as good as I could be.”
Dan gave Andrea a small smile as he watched her pull her long red hair out of its pony tail and it drop over her shoulders shimmering in the morning light. That was something about Andrea that Dan admired, she was proud of her red hair and he thought it suited her fiery personality, she really was being wasted working in a pub even a high quality one such as The Three Broomsticks.
Standing up off his stool Dan pushed himself up onto the bar and slid over it onto the other side of the counter and stood next to Andrea. With a cheeky grin he put one hand on each side of her waist and picked her up as if she was as light and a feather and placed her upon the counter giving him free range of the bar. During the summer holidays Dan needed something to get his mind off a certain professor and so took up a job in the local muggle pub where his parents lived and he thought he would show off his new found talents.
“Miss Riley.” He demanded, looking straight into her emerald eyes. “I am going to give you the morning off. Now what drinks can I get you girls.”

Andrea smiled, "That's good. I'm glad to hear you're doing well." Suddenly she shrieked in surprise as Dan lifted her up and over the bar! She laughed, "Well, in that case, I might as well change!" With a quick wave of her wand, her boring old work uniform was replaced by a turqouise blue, strapless mini-dress with a silver ribbon tied in a bow just below the bust line. True it was a little chilly, but hey, the girl had the day off now! Why not have some fun? She smiled at Dan, "I'll take some red wine. Merlot."

Dan was till laughing and looking around at the set up behind the bar he failed to notice that Andrea had magically changed the clothes she was wearing so when he turned back around he was slightly taken aback by her change in attire, after blinking a few times and looking from Andrea to Jennifer Dan finally managed to find his tongue.
“Wow Andrea remind me to come to the pub more often if the staff dress like that.”
He gave her a cheeky smile and listened to her order of drink. With a nod of his head Dan spun on his heel and turned straight to his left remembering from the many times he ordered wine the direction the bar tender went, and only a few paces was the vast selection and after a moment or two of pondering Dan pulled out a bottle of wine and read the label carefully a smile spreading across his face.
Walking back to the ladies he picked up two glasses and placed them down in front of them both, with a quick place around Dan saw the corkscrew and with a few twists and a hard tug the satisfying pop of the cork coming out filled her air around them and that was quickly followed by the aroma of the wine.
“This was a very good year for the vineyards in south Italy. And the wine is just pure heaven.”
He gave a small laugh as he carefully poured the wine into the glasses making sure he did not spill a single drop. Once both the glasses were half full he placed the cork loosely back in the top of the bottle and placed it on the counter in front of him and he waited for the ladies to taste the sweet nectar and give their opinions.

Andrea just smirked. "Yeah, I'll bet you'd love that!" she teased, she accepted her wine with a smile. "Thank you." she took a small sip, "Excellent as usual." Andrea set down her glass as her emerald eyes sparkled with mischief, and devilish smirk made it's way onto her face, "So, Professor Bubbles, what have you been up to lately?"
