Sakura had arrived back at the Leaky Cauldron with nothing but thoughts of Nicolas King on her mind. She was trying to decide on a decent restaurant and worse again, an outfit to wear. All she possessed were pant suits or denims for mucking about in but she wanted to look really good tonight. Wanted to impress him somehow, biting her lip she had gone silently up the stairs and using the fireplace in her room contacted her mother through the hearth to find out a decent restaurant. With that finally done, she decided to raid Isabella's wardrobe for the outfit she needed. It took her forever as though they were both the same size, Bella's colouring was completely different to hers. It was actually Yema in the end who came to her rescue and once she had freshened herself up, taking care of her freshly healed shoulder in the process she could only smile when she returned to her room to find that the house elf had cleaned and mended both jacket and blouse.
Sakura had been taught how to sew a long time ago by her mother, well sewing as in using a charmed needle and thread but it was still the same thing in their view. A muggle might not see it that way of course. Yema on the other hand must have used elf magic to have gotten the job done so effectively and efficiently. It took her some time to get her hair just right and then her make up, sliding into her outfit and slipping on the shoes she had chosen Sakura viewed herself in the full length mirror.
It was like another person staring back at her, she felt feminine and beautiful and hoped that Nicolas saw that too. Glancing at the clock on the mantle piece she saw the newspaper that had been left out for her. For nearly a month now she had been viewing various apartments and flats, even debating on sharing one as she firmly felt that it was just dead money renting a room from a tavern. She wanted her own place but so far nothing came either in her taste or her price range. Grabbing her robe she put it on, clasping it completely so that not an inch of what she was wearing could be revealed until they arrived at the restaurant.
Her mother had told her all about The Noose and Guillotine, a small restaurant set up down Charring Cross Road about three years ago. As it was situated on a very busy muggle road, it had all the appearance of an old book store that was constantly closed for refurbishment. Inside it was clean and the service was efficient and polite. The food was typically English, the seating plan was nicely spaced and always come evening time the lighting was dimmed and classical music was softly played about the establishment. For a romantic meal for two which is what Sakura was hoping for whether or not it was what Nicolas wanted, the Noose and Guillotine at evening time was perfect. She had asked her mother why the strange name for the place but she hadn't known, so Sakura promised to inquire herself if she remembered during the night.
She left her room and headed downstairs to where Nicolas would be waiting, taking a deep breath to steady her nerves as she did so.
