The Hog's Head

Armando laughed as well. "She probably will... "

Calista suddenly thought of something. "Who're going to be the little one's godparents?"

Armando frowned at the mention of Godparents. "I don't... I don't know. Do you have any suggestions?"

Calista pondered for a moment. "Nope."

"...Perhaps... my sister..." Armando suggested timidly. "What do you think?"

Calista beamed. "That's a brilliant idea!"

"...I love you...both of you." She smiled first at the 'little one' then up at Armando.

Armando smiled. "Shall we go now? Back to the castle I mean, I want to ravish you in private..."

Calista laughed. "As you wish."

She stood up.

It was an early afternoon and Raven stepped inside the Hog's head and chose a table to sit. She was looking into a empty glass waiting for someone to show up. A lady came up and asked Raven what she would like to drink, but Raven told her to wait awhile for she is waiting for a friend.

The lady nodded and walked away from the table and Raven rested her head on her hand staring at nothing while she waited patiently for her friend to come.

Alexandria walked inside the Hog's Head expecting to see a good friend of hers, Raven. When she entered she scanned around the crowded cafe and saw Raven sitting alone at a table looking off into nowhere. Alex walked up to her and smiled, "Sorry for the wait." she said sitting down.

A lady came up to us and asked what we wanted, "I would like a butterbeer," Alex asked then looked at Raven to see what she would like. As she waited the lady wrote down what Alex wanted then waited patiently for Raven's order.

Raven noticed Alexandria sitting down across from where she was. She did not return the smile back, but just looked at her in a greeting look. "It took you a while," Raven said in a bored like tone then looked at the lady who came back. When Alexandria gave her order Raven gave her order.

"I'll have the same," She told the lady. The lady nodded and walked away to bring back the orders. Raven looked back at Alex, "So, what's up?" she asked not knowing what to say.

"Sorry, I slept in," Alex laughed waiting for her butterbeer. "Nothing much actually, trying to avoid those dementors." She gave a shiver when she mentioned the dementors how they attacked her that one day. Alex was greatful that Raven was there to help her out.

"How about you? What have you been up too?" She asked the same question to Raven. She always noticed Raven never really smiles to anyone, she seems always gloomy and sad, like somehting was bothering her. Alex wanted to ask, but she knew better to not to since she doesn't want to be rude.

"Same," Raven sighed. She rested her head on the palm of her hand looking out the window that was right next to them. It was a cold afternoon, perfect for butterbeer. Just as Raven was thinking about the warm tasting butterbeer, the lady comes back with both of their orders. Raven took her butterbeer and gave a small sip of the warm delicious butterbeer that made her feel warm inside.

Raven had a smile creeping on her face, and wasn't noticing that she was smiling. She was enjoying the wonderful taste of the butterbeer that was feeling her with warmth. She hadn't had a butterbeer since she was in the first year, that was the day her and Juria became great friends.

Alex took her butterbeer as well, when the lady set it down on the table. Before she took a sip she noticed Raven smiled for once, "Wow, finally I caught a smile from you, that's a first." Alex smiled at Raven who was drinking her butterbeer. She did the same thing and drank from the warm delicious butterbeer.

Raven quickly noticed she was smiled then it turned to a frown. She grabbed a napkin and wiped her lips on it. "Yeah, yeah, why wont you treasure that always, you won't be seeing that again," Raven said. She still had half of butterbeer left inside her glass mug.

She looked out the window in a bored manner, thinking about the letter she had wrote to her mother. She never received a letter back from her mother and was wondering what took so long.
