Nix leaned away from Alex and heard him speak and she felt her whole face go warm, she took a few steps away from him and leaned up against the alley way wall opposite from him and lowered her head to let her still dripping hair fall over her face and hide her ,"your right, I liked Hugo ,I really did" she started ,"but he chose her and I can't help that he's a dickhead who finds it fun to play with girls emotions" she said in a now very sharp voice and then she lifted her head and her voice softened ,"but your sweet, you always were, and i know your smart and caring because we're freinds, and besides, you always were a little cute" she said before lowered her head again as her face got warmer once more

Hugo watched her as her hair fell perfectly across her shoulder and walked over to the table. With that, thoughts of Nix shot out of his mind and he eagerly followed her. Sitting down next to her, he filled the void between them by scooting his chair over. "Here, let me take that," he said taking his robe and draping it across the back of his chair. The menus came quickly enough and he began to pore over it. Thoughts of Nix came back to him and he couldn't help but glance at the window. From this vantage point, he couldn't quite make out the two but he did notice something going on. Was that a kiss he just saw? No, it couldn't be. Nix didn't come off as that kind of girl to him but, he couldn't change what his eyes saw.
Trying to suppress his every strong feelings of her and of the jealousy caused by what had just happened, he looked at Lita. Seeing her made most of those feelings go away and he could get back to the formal date they were supposed to have. Hopefully, this one would end better than the last one.

Though it didn't seem possible to Alex, the boy felt even more heat rise in his face, making him very, very red as Nix explained her actions. The Ravenclaw was tongue-tied. He honestly had no idea how to reply.
"I... well, thank you..." he said awkwardly, a smile lighting up his face almost against his will. Had he not been so surprised at Nix's forwardness, he knew he would've quite enjoyed the kiss.
"So... you'll forgive me for thinking that you were going to hit me there a moment ago?" Alex asked. He could feel the tension between them like it was a tangible thing, and he hoped the joke would lighten the mood a bit.

Nix felt her face break in to a smile, "normally leaning in for me means I'm about to hit someone so I can forgive you for not trusting me" she said with a laugh before she felt her neck go warm again and she looked back in to the street. It seemed the Hugo and lita had gone somewhere on their own so there was no need for nix to worry about walking in to them if they went up the street but nix didn't have a lot to do in hogsmead today and she knew that her friend Tain was teaching in the school currently so he wouldn't be in his broom shop she she didn't want to go in there ,the only place left was honeydukes and nix had left her money in her room back in the castle so even if she found something she wanted, she couldn't get it

Lita sat down and smiled at Hugo. It was quite easy for her to keep her eyes off of Nix and Alex outside just because she had everything she had wanted right in front of her. And Nix was outside crying. It was merely a crush after all, why she was crying, Lita hadn't a clue. She never cried over a guy, nor had the feeling to. Everything she had wanted, she got. Yes, she usually had a work for the majority of it, and some people ended up being thrown under the bus, but she still ended up on top.
Looking down at the menu, Lita crossed her legs at her knees and grazed her ankle casually against Hugo's leg. She lowered her menu and tilted her head to the side slightly as she looked over at him, "Anything looking good?" It was an open-ended question, naturally, with plenty of ways to answer it. Laying her menu down, she ran her pointer finger down the menu before pausing on a cesar salad. Food sounded good, but her mind was else where, and her back was aching up a storm.

Hugo didn't freak out or hit his knee on the table this time when Lita grazed his leg with her ankle. Instead he smiled at her. "I think I'll just have another butterbeer. Nothing really looks good right now," Hugo said distracted by the menu. Of course he didn't catch on to the open-endedness of the question and he probably just insulted her without knowing it. This happened at least a handful of times a week but he couldn't help being a guy. He always managed to say the wrong thing sometimes and was always apologizing for hours after Lita caught him on it. Closing the menu and putting it aside. He gazed into Lita's pretty little face. He felt like a really lucky guy right now.

Alex glanced up at the sky, peering at the rainclouds that showed no signs of letting up the constant drizzle that was soaking the pair as they stood outside. Preferring to be dry, Alex flipped the hood of his robe back up and looked around.
"Hey, Nix," he asked suddenly, having a small burst of inspiration. "Do you want to go somewhere? You know, like, not in the rain? My treat." He hoped they used that expression in England. Now that he thought of it, he'd never heard any of the British say it, but he figured Nix would know what it meant, anyway.

Nix found herself smilig at her freind, or rather now her boy freinds comment ,"I only want one thing, one sugar quill, and I'll pay you back when we get back to the castle, I've left all my savings at school" she said and then paused before holding out a hand and giving a small smile ,"honeydukes?" she asked as the rain came down a little harder and the wind seemed to cool in the seconds and blow over her head making her hair feel like it was frozen to her scalp. She shivered slightly from the cold and then remembered she was wearing a dress and cloak that was dripping wet, which really wasn't helping very much at all

Alex smiled back and shook his head. "No payback needed. Really, it's on me," he insisted, as the two started to head towards the sweets shop. As they walked, Alex noticed Nix was shivering, and he frowned.
"Here," he said, taking his wand out of his pocket, taking off his robe and putting it around Nix's shoulders. "You'll catch cold, going on the way you are." The robe was a bit big, but not terribly so, and Alex was plenty warm in the hooded sweatshirt and jeans he wore underneath. He'd made both his hooded sweatshirt and his robe impervious to rain, and with a quick flick of his wand, Nix's cloak beneath the robe was dry as well.
"Now come on, let's get to Honeydukes, huh?" he said with a smile, pulling up his hood, this time on the sweatshirt.

Lita rolled her dark eyes and smirked at Hugo, "If it wasn't for the fact that you are my bestfriend and extremely gorgeous, I would punch you for being so oblivous." The joking tone was obvious in her voice, and the cute smile upon her lips also proved that she wasn't being serious. Scanning the menu one last time, she finally tossed it to the side and gave up on finding food. She wasn't very hungry to begin with, well, she was hungry, but not for food necissarilly.
Leaning forward, Lita smiled sweetly at Hugo, her head tilting to the side just a bit. She was actually sorry for how things had went not twenty minutes ago, but she didn't regret them. "With the day I've had, I think I'll go with a fire whiskey. But on a side note, I do want to appologize. For everything..." She pulled her hair over her shoulder and ran her fingers through it quietly while she slowly continued to run her ankle up and down the inside of Hugo's leg.

Hugo couldn't help but smile smugly. "So you think I'm gorgeous, hm?" He crossed his arms and leaned his chair back to look her up and down. "Looks like we make a perfect match then," he said his normal smile creeping onto his face. At this instant, he had leaned back too far and his heart stopped for a moment. He was on the verge of tipping himself over backward but he quickly regained his balance by swiftly moving forward. His heart was racing now from the slight adrenaline rush of almost falling over. Smiling embarrassingly, he said more so to himself than Lita, "That was close..."
He raised an eyebrow at her when she mentioned firewhiskey. He wanted to remind her of the last time she had had the potent drink. She wouldn't hear of it but Hugo was sober and remembered everything. She had come onto a lot of guys and almost went home with one of them if he hadn't punched him right in the face. It had seemed like Hugo had a thing of doing that... James.. Hugo shook his head to forget the memories. He raised his head to look up at her as she apologized. Hugo smiled warmly at her. "It's okay. I forgive you."

Nix felt her cloak dry off and she smiled at Alex and then nodded her head as he put his own cloak around her. "thanks so much al, and I'm good for that but I'll have to pay you back, I hate oweing people money or favours, it makes me feel overpowering" she said as she began to walk and then she paused and smiled to herself. she turned back an then dropped her hand and took alexs lightly and and tugged on it ,"come, if we're two now, you gotta keep up with me" she said with a small smile and a slightly red face. She pulled on his hand a little more and then he ended up taking a step forwards and nix smiled and then paused and thought for a moment before lowering her head to quickly kiss him on the cheek before leaning back and laughing a little ,"besides, if I get a cold I'm kissing you on purpose so you get it too" she said with a snigger. She then tugged on his hand again and took a step back ,"come on boy freind" she said with a giggle

Alex shrugged, still smiling. "Well, alright, but only if you insist," he replied. He didn't want to make Nix feel uncomfortable by refusing to let her pay him back. He blushed slightly as she kissed his cheek, and followed her pulling hand. He laughed when she said if she got a cold she'd kiss him to make sure he got it, too.
"Oh gee, thanks," he said sarcastically, but he wasn't able to sound upset about it. Instead he followed Nix into the warm, bright sweetshop.
He looked around, scratching the back of his neck. "You know, I've never actually been in here..." he muttered. It was a lot to take in all at once.

Lita shook her head and smiled softly, "I wouldn't be here if you weren't." She poked her tongue out at him playfully before quickly covering her mouth to muffle a laugh. "Gorgeous and clumsy." She reached out and placed her hand on his softly. It was like everything was going back to normal for her. She had her man back, plus one on the side... She swallowed as the thought crossed her mind. She needed to figure out what she was going to do with that whole situation. She knew she couldn't keep it on the down low anymore, especially seeing as Hugo already knew.
Deciding to ignore the thoughts, she smiled over at Hugo and turned her head just as the waitress came over to get their orders. Without thinking, she held up two fingers on her free hand and said, "Two butterbeers please... Warm?" She glanced over at Hugo, the last word aimed toward him.

Hugo smiled at her. "You know I like it warm," he said staring at her lovingly. He didn't even turn his head when the waitress had arrived. It was as if she wasn't even there for him. All that was there was Lita and that was all he felt that he would ever need. He reached for both her hands to hold. Hugo was a very touchy feely kind of guy and he knew that Lita liked that. He didn't like doing things in public though because he always thought that people did not need to know about his private affairs. He may come off to the waitress as rude but he didn't care. He didn't seem to have had very good experiences with them anyway tonight. Sighing, he turned to the waitress and said, "Can we have chocolate cake as well?" He didn't want to be a total jerk and ignore the entire time.
