Cold Rain and a Coffee Shop

[Lawrence Andrew Cavell]

Lately Enzo had been busy with his practice, it made him want to roam the city and just enjoy it. So After his practice, he returned to London to change his clothes into some casual one and less sweaty. England was his home, as he didn't wanted to move at all. So for today he was thinking of finding a penthouse for him to rent, an apartment would be fine but with Enzo's standards it would be difficult. He needed a quite environment and a neat place as well, it would be quite different now that he's actually doing this. For about an hour he managed to visit some open houses as well as some cool looking apartment near Cornwall, though it just didn't fit his style so much. Home was so much more comfortable, still he needed a place on it's own. It took him half of the day to wander around and sadly nothing reached his standards.

As he was visiting some old places he'd gone to, Enzo somehow thought of his days in Durmstrang. It was the most exciting roller coaster ride he'd been through which made him realize how was his little sister doing. "Perhaps, it would be great if I'd find a coffee shop or something?" he said to himself and began to find some coffee shop along the street. Enzo found one new coffee shop that just opened around the corner, so he though to try their coffee as well as see the place. As he entered he noticed that the shop was kind of deserted, not that the ambiance was bad. Maybe it wasn't that known, the staff greeted him as he began to sit down near the window. He was sucker for sitting alone in the window, it was somehow a trick to hit on a girl. Enzo ordered their brewed coffee and some toasted bagel, he grabbed some muggle magazine and tried to see the latest news. As he was scanning the newspaper he looked out the window and noticed it begin to rain, sadly he didn't had a umbrella with him. Which means he'll stay for some quite time or until the rain stops, Enzo then continued on reading the news.

[Victoria Valerio]

Victoria was on a trip today that she had never forseen.It was a different adventure and Victoria was quite thrilled to be out of the castlle.It was the middle of the winter holidays and Victoria had been really lonely spending the holidays in the castle as her family was too busy to spend time with her.She had expected to stay indoors spending time finishing her holiday homework but right now she was in some part of England.She didn't know where it was and she didn't care.The only thing that mattered was to spend the day having as much fun as she could.

Out of Character:

really sorry for the late reply

Earlier that morning Victoria had started work on her HoM homework but she had found some difficulty in understanding the essay question that they had to answer so she had gone to the professor's office to ask her.Professor Pomoray was the only female teacher that taught her and she was in her late twenties.She was very strict with the students but Victoria had always liked her because she made the boring subject less boring.But when Victoria went to ask her about the question the Professor was very surprised to see that she hadn't gone home for the holidays and seeing that she was really lonely and bored she offered her to come with her as she was going to visit her relatives in a village in England.Victoria didn't loose any time to say yes and they went outside the castle ground and dissaparated to this small muggle village.

Victoria had spent the past half an hour in a muggle clothes shop and she had picked out a fabulous top for herself but she had very little muggle money so she decided to wait for her Professor to return from the relatives house so she could borrow some.She roamed around the village getting inside every shop to look at muggle merchandise.But soon she got bored and it looked like it was going to rain so she stepped inside a coffee shop.It was deserted except for a very handsome boy sitting at the window.But you could hardly call him a boy becase he looked like he was nearing his twenties.But Victoria had always had a taste for older guys so she walked over to his table and pulled back a chair."Can I sit with you if you don't mind?"she asked him with a smile on her face."I am sure a guy like you wouldn't be used to having coffee all by himself" she said checking him out as he sat there looking like a fashion model ready for a photoshoot.Somehow Victoria had a hunch from the way he looked that he had Italian blood in him.But she felt like she recognized him.She didn't know where she had seen him but the only place she could think of was Durmstrang but she would be really surprised if he turned out to be a wizard.It would be a fortunate co-incidence.But she didn't ask him because she was sure there wasn't any muggle school that was called Durmstrang and she didn't want him to think she was a crackpot.

 

[Lawrence Andrew Cavell]

All of his past memories suddenly began to rush into his mind, remembering everything that happened for the past seven years in his stay in Durmstrang. Who knew he even applied to Hogwarts New Zealand to actually transfer, but now Enzo knew it had all it's reasons. The window pane nearby started to form a fog, as the rain kept it's distance between it. Other than that he continued to reminisce, such as his flings and friends. He knew that he made a mark in Durmstrang which probably would end up in the hands of her sister now. Still he surely missed everything, everything in Durmstrang and now he wanted to make a new start with his career as an Auror and as a Keeper for a famous team.

As his coffee arrived along with his bagel, Enzo took a sip and tried to relax himself. The rain itself was soothing, he could hear every drop of water flowing the streets. It was odd to think that he found time for himself but he knew it wouldn't be too long before someone disturb him. Enzo placed the newspaper down, knowing he had enough of the business adds, and the fact that he was just staring at it for minutes. His mind began to shatter once more, as some past images of his life started to cover his sight. After all Enzo was alone in this small coffee shop, though he knew the waitress was staring at his for about an hour. As her mouth was kept open, probably drooling over him or like that.

He looked over by his shoulder and confirmed his thought, the waitress was indeed staring at him. Enzo smirked and laughed it off, it was another scene to remember. There were so many things going inside his head, that he just couldn't help to reminisce again and again. He reached for his bagel and took a bite of it, followed by a sip of his hot steamy coffee. It wasn't special or anything, but ti tasted just right to start off. As he returned his coffee to the table, he suddenly heard a voice approaching him. "Oh, Please do." Enzo replied flashing her a slight smile. It was true what the girl said, but Enzo was indeed sure that he was the type of guy who could be alone from time to time. It was just because of the girls joining her, Enzo noticed that there was something the girl wanted as the coffee shop was after all deserted.

Perhaps she was somehow interested in him, I mean who wouldn't. The stranger looked younger, even younger than her sister. Then again he was here to enjoy himself and nothing more. Enzo pulled out the chair in front of him signalling the her to sit down, it was weird though meeting new people that were older than him. Maybe he had a radar for girl like her, just like Faxen and the other girls he had met. Though some part of him wanted to actually hook up with a lady older than him, but that was just an instant thought of him.
