HOGSMEADE - RP LOG - OPEN

[hawksdonttweet]

[It was the week before Christmas break and all through the town, all the students were partying and acting like clowns...

Right, so, it's the last Hogsmeade trip before Winter break. Mid-terms/Finals are done with and finally we can start to let our brains rot over the holiday season. Are you shopping for those last minute gifts or just out to have a good time in the recent snow fall?

Whatever it is your doing, it might be a good idea to check out The Hogsmeade Town Map for an idea of shops, though, come on, you've probably been here enough times by now to know where things are.]


[ooc: Start whatever kinda thread you want. Might be helpful to put if it's open and where you're at in Hogsmeade in the subject line though 8D]

I'm not letting you pay for my things and carry my bags as well.

[Do you see how many packages she has, Tony? Do you? She can barely carry them herself.]

[She gives him a look and an amuse smile.]

Am I not allowed to have plans?

[goateeless]

[Nonsense. Let him do what he wants. He reaches out to grab her bags off of her-- and holy crap his arms. Spell to shrink everything down go and then shove them into his pockets. Tadaa! See he can do it.]

I have a lot of money that needs spending. I'm stimulating the local economy.

[He pouts, which he will completely deny. But it's a clear childish pout.]

I don't like it when you have plans.

[notaweasley]

[She looks almost kind of horrified when he shrinks down all her packages.]

Be careful! Some of those are delicate! Well I have enough money from babysitting this summer and I intended to buy everything myself this year for people.

[And it's things like that that remind Pepper that even though he may be two years above her, he's still two years younger than she is.]

I'm allowed to have plans in my free time. And frankly, you don't have any say over what I can and can't do.

[goateeless]

[Waves her off, he's been handling delicate substances since he was in his diapers. Everything will be fine. A thought niggles at him though, he was sure they spent most of the summer together. When did she have time to babysit? He'll pick at that later...]

But you're my Pepper. [Whining.] We never get to hang out any more. I'm starting to forget what you look like!

[notaweasley]

You're over exaggerating! And we had exams for the past two weeks - I was studying and I didn't see much of anyone. [She stops. Wait a second.]

Your Pepper? When did I agree to this?

[goateeless]

Two whole weeks! That's way too long.

[He hesitates. He's aware that he can be a bit clingy, but that was what happened when he had so few friends.]

...no? [He bites his lip.] It's just... you're all I have.

[notaweasley]

I invited you to study with my friends and I but you didn't want to.

[Pepper is so ready to go off on him but she stops and suddenly looks rather ashamed. She's glad that it's chilly outside because that meant that the flush of her cheeks was much less noticeable. Finally she lets out a defeated sigh.]

Fine. You can come along with me but I'm meeting Phil at half past at Madame Puddifoot's to give him a pep talk.

[AKA: Tony better not be his usual self because Phil is going on a date with the pretty girl from the orchestra who plays cello.]

[goateeless]

[Sulkily.] But I already know all that stuff.

[But then Tony perks up almost immediately.]

Phil? His first name is Prefect.

[notaweasley]

[She rolls her eyes despite herself.]

It never hurts to review even if you do know it.

[And then she raises an eyebrow. He's still insisting on that?]

His name is Phil and when we're there, please don't say anything rude to him.

[goateeless]

[He waves his hands dismissively. Genius. Doesn't need to.]

Since when am I ever rude?

[notaweasley]

[The look she gives him clearly says, 'Shall I list the ways?', but she chooses not to say anything and dismisses the topic.]

He's on pins and needles as it is. It took a lot to get him to ask her and if you do say something to him, I can't promise that Tasha and Clint won't do something to you to make you regret it.

[goateeless]

[He returns hers with one that says 'I have no idea what you're talking about'.]

I was just going to ask if he wanted reservations to that place we went once and before you ask how they'd get there I'll say it's better off if you don't know the details so you can pretend you didn't know anything.

And keep Romanoff away from me!

[notaweasley]

You'd really do that for him? [Her expression softens a bit but then immediately remembers the place he's speaking about.] You better still not be telling everyone that that was a date because it wasn't.

Are you still upset about the coffee incident?
