Butterbeer and Chocolate Cake ((OPEN))

[Lita Chance]

If it wasn’t for her family, Lita would pack up and move to Hogsmeade as soon as she was done with school. She couldn’t ditch out on her mother no matter how bad she really wanted to. It didn’t matter though, sometimes you just had to take one for the team. She was her mother’s only daughter and she wasn’t going to move so far away that it took her parents a week to travel and see her. Not that they couldn’t apperate or anything. Shaking her head in thought, she grabbed for her butterbeer, took a sip, and moved on to her chocolate cake.

Lita was dressed in a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a cute black jacket with her Gryffindor scarf wrapped around her neck. She wasn’t dressed to impress, just to keep comfortable and warm in the cool September air. Grabbing for her Encyclopedia of Serial Killers, she flipped it open to where she left off and started up again. She loved reading about evil, studying them and figuring out why they were the way they were. She wasn’t sure why the fascination, but she was drawn to it and therefore, stuck with it and remembered it all.

Nix walked down hogsmead with her hands in her pockets and her hair blowing around her face, her "cousin" was in dentension from jinxing a rather rude hufflepuff so nix was on her own today but she had wanted a drink and she knew she could order anything her "cousin" couldn't have when she was around so now she had her chance. She walked in to the three broomsticks and closed the door quickly and then shrugged off her robe and dropped it over her arm and looked around the pub, it's was rather quiet for the time of day but nix wasn't one to frown on peace and quiet so she walked over to one of the empty tables and dropped her robe over the back of one of the chairs and then rested her hands on the table and thought for a moment

*little friendly question, will you be joining the gryffindor qudditch team? Or applying for a prefect role? I'd love the team to have another member and if you were considering it nix and lita could talk about tryouts and qudditch and we could work around a bit of a plot like that *

Lita had propped her book up using the sugar caddy. It wasn’t the best book holder, but it did the job while she ate her cake. Her hazel eyes scanned the pages quickly, the words registering in her mind and being archived in the many filing cabinets that she had in her brain. Flipping the page, she finished off the last of her cake and pushed the empty plate to the side. A few paragraphs later, she reached for her butterbeer only to knock her book over and spill her drink at the sound of the bell over the door dinging. The place was originally empty, and hearing the door open actually startled her. ”Crap!” She moved to grab her book before the liquid reached it, a string of curse words continued to flow past her lips as she did so.

OOC: I signed her up for seeker, so we’ll see if she gets it. (: But yeah, they can talk about stuff like that.

*then I'd say we could talk about the tryout ,maybe it was last week and nix is still deciding on the team *

nix heard someone curse behind her and she sniggered quietly before turning her head and looking over her sholder to see another girl, she was a little older than nix was and had a gryffindor scarf round her neck. Nix smiled and tugged her own scarf away from her own neck and dropped it on the table beside her robe and then walked over to the counter and leaned up ago at it. After a few moments madme rosmerta stepped out from the back of the pub and nix dipped her head in greeting, "and today you would like?" she asked and nix grinned and then tilted her head to one side ,"two butter beers for now, I may be back though" she said and the barmaid nodded and then dipped her hands below the counter and handed nix two bottles, nix put on down and took out some money from her pocket and handed it over before walking over to the other girls table ,"want a top up?" she asked placing one bottle down beside the girls book

Scrambling for napkins in order to clean up her mess, Lita placed them on the liquid and watched the cloth absorb it up. She brushed off her book as a precaution and narrowed her brow angrily at the spilt drink. Now what was she supposed to do? Her table was slowly becoming less of a mess but she no longer had a drink. Letting out a soft sigh, she turned in her chair to place the book in her leather messenger bag. Hearing a voice, she tilted her head toward the person and pulled her dark brown hair over her shoulder. She had recognized the girl, Nix, as she recalled her name was, from Quidditch tryouts. Lita had Seeker in mind, but that could always change seeing as Nix was the captain. Grinning sweetly at the girl, Lita nodded her head and sat back up, ”Yeah, I could definitely use another one, thanks.”

She took a drink of it before sitting down and looking at Nix across the table. ”Made any decisions on the Quidditch team yet?”[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

Nix sniggered as she placed the drink down beside the older gryffindor and then she walked round to the other side of the table and put her own drink down before dipping her hand in to her robe pocket and taking out a pumpkin pasty and putting it down beside her drink ,she smiled at the girls comment on the qudditch team and then leaned forwards and rested her elbows on the table ,"the chasers are all picked out ,I still have the beaters and keeper and seeker to go now" she said with a small grin and then nodded to what was left of the girls first drink ,"want a hand cleaning that up?" she asked before lifting her own drink and taking a gulp and then setting it back down on the still rather soggy and rather sticky table

[Lita Chance]

Lita smiled at the girl and nodded her head. The more help she could get the better. She mentally slapped herself as she remembered a simple spell that would get rid of the mess in a flash. Grabbing for her wand in her bag, she flicked her wrist and mouthed the charm, watching the liquid melt away. ”I think I got it, now that I had a little brain gap for the moment.” She chucked the napkins in the rubbish bin and went back to Nix and the drink that she had so graciously offered her. ”Thanks again for the drink, by the way. I’m not normally this clumsy, my mind was just elsewhere.” She let out a soft chuckle and shrugged it off. Thinking about Quidditch, she smiled to herself. If she was still looking for a Seeker, that meant she still stood a chance. ”If you need another try-out session I’m definitely okay with that. I mean, who would turn down a second chance to show off their skill, right?” She laughed again softly.

Nix nodded and then dropped her own wand on the table before lifting her drink again, "i kinda of get funding helping a broom designing company, im too young to really work for them but i have a freind there who i tell ideas and he tells the team and i some how get extra money in my bank" she said with a smile and a small laugh, "i expect to start working with them when i leave school next year too, so keep an eye on the broomstick market" she said wth a chuckle and then she shook her head, "one tryout only, thats the rules, but dont worry about it, i almost have the team slots down, i just need to tell proffesser lorde who ive picked now" she explained before taking another drink

[Lita Chance]

Lita listened intensly as Nix talked about her under the table job. She never actually had a job.... Her father and mother covered everything she needed and she didn't have to worry about a thing. Her twin brothers were exactly the same. All she had to do was ask. Granted, she was never extremely good at anything other than profiling people.... But that wasn't going to help her get a job right now. Nodding her head, Lita smiled, "That's... blood brilliant! I just have an old Nimbus 2000 that I've used since I was little. It gets the job done though. And it's stuck by my side through all the falls and crashes just like my wand, so I'm not going to complain." She smiled and chuckled softly.

Nix smiled and nodded to the other girl, "as soon as I've save up enough I'll be getting a firebolt, but I'm going to talk to my friend Tain about the broom and see if he can do some of the edits I'm always talking about to it, then I'll have a firebolt that has extra speed and power and general extras ,by classification if the same broom, but my abilities it will be a totally new one" she said with smirk and then she took another drink from her cup and then frowned as she realised she had drunk it all. She waved her hand to get the attention of one of the passing bar maids and one girl looked up and nodded and nix nodded back and dropped her hand. "I even know what I'm going to call it when it's been all edited up, but I'll need to cut it in to the handle to make it official" she said with a slight chuckle

[Lita Chance]

Lita took another drink from her butterbeer and nodded her head as she listened to Nix. She wasn't one to really care all that much about brooms because she felt it was all in the skill, but Nix was so happy about her ideas, Lita couldn't help but feel happy for her. Brooms were to Nix like serial killers were to herself. To each their own, so to speak. Smiling vibrantly, Lita nodded her head enthusiastically and spoke up, "That's really exciting, Nix! With that broom, the team would be nearly unstoppable." She chuckled softly.

Nix nodded her head and then nodded to the door way ,"he has his own shop in the village, find it so funny to walk in there and hand over a design on note paper and watch his eyes light up and then all the younger students look up at me in total wonder, all I ever hear is "she's the broom makers apprentice" or "shes designing for matchsticks" and I find it so funy be has sits all just extra sideline boredom work for me" she said with a chuckle as the waitress came over and nix turned her head to her. "if I offer you a empty cup and ask for a fire-whisky ,would that work for you?"'she asked and the girl looked her over and then laughed a little and nodded ,"works for me shadow" she replied and then picked up nix's empty cup as nix turned back to lita ,"you want anything?" she asked
