[Puddifoots] Detecting anything?

[Helia Ollivander]

Helia had just closed up shop and quickly hurried over to Madam Puddifoots, hoping to beat the dinner rush. She slid in the door to the faint tinkle of chimes and sat down in a far back corner of the shop. She smiled, this was her one guilty pleasure. She would not on a regular basis be seen in such a hideously girly place, but the lavender chamomile tea her truly was the best, not to mention the chocolate daisy petifores. She thought it was kind of silly how almost everything on the menu had a flowery name of some sort, but it was, in its own weird way, kind of cute.

She was a bit of a regular here by now and her tea and candies were brought out almost immedeatly. She thanked her waitress, then leaned back in her chair and smiled, breathing deeply and just relaxing. Taking a break from it all... if only for moment.
She soon reached into her book bag and pulled out two books, one was an old year book, the other a collage of ancient newspaper clippings. After her run in with Russell at the library the other night she hadn't been able to get these stupid books far from her thoughts. In class she was thinking about what kind of classes they took, during practice it was all about if they played and what positions if they did, and while she was wandmaking it was all she could do to keep from calling up her Uncle to see if he knew who made their wands. Once again, this thing that she thought she had rid herself of, was haunting her... if only in her thoughts, which was a scarier place than anywhere else in her opinion.

[Russell Parkhurst]

Russell was in The Three Broomsticks when he was Halo run into Madam Puddifoots Tea Shop. He had been determined to get Halo on her own and now was the time. She ran out of the pub and straight into the tea shop. He had not realised the amount of females that there would be in the shop. It certainly shocked his when he walked in and every pair of eyes was on him, and they were nine times out of ten, girls.

Ignoring the on-lookers, Rus scanned the room for Halo and found her, quickly joining her. He pulled out a chair for him self and sat down. "May I?" he asked sarcastically. He looked at Halo's face trying to decide what the best way was to approach the subject. He decided to get chatting first, "so what brings you into this delightfully warm shop?"

[Helia Ollivander]

She had heard the door open but was already too pre-occupied with one of the books to pay attention to whoever had entered. That was until a shadow cast ;ight on the page she was reading. 'Anyone, anyone, anyone but him...' she looked up and saw Russell. She smiled slightly, though she wasn't quite sure why. Mostly because anyone was better than the people she was reading about..

As he sat down she couldn't decide whether to try and discretly stick the book back in her bag, or simply just close it, 'Oh he's got no idea what it is,' she thought, deciding that she could continue reading without him getting too nosy.
She couldn't help but see that he seemed a little... anxious, perhaps? As if there was something on his mind he was telling her, but who was she to pass judgment on a person with secrets? "Good tea, good candy, good company, whether you like it or not," she said good naturedly.
