"One Butterbeer, please." Alanna said to the bartender. "Thanks" She said as he handed her a bottle of Butterbeer, her favorite drink. And she walked over to a empty talbe and sat down on a chair.

Mmmm. I love butterbeer, She giggled as she thought how silly that had sounded in her head. I wish someone else was here with me...Oh well, I guess I'll just catch up on my work. Oh! I'll read the letter Thom wrote me! And she fished the letter out of her purse and started reading...

Dear Alanna, It read,
I hope you got this before it got wet, I heard that it stormed right before I sent Cloud back with my letter. All is well here, but I still don't really like useing a owl for our letters. My friends are getting uh, 'weirded out' as they would put it. But I just wanted to ask you how is it going at your school? Talk to you soon.
Lots of love
Thom

Humm. He didn't say anything about himself...somthing must be wrong.

Tim Weasley Walked into the Three Broomsticks, sliding his sunglasses to rest on top of his head. He noticed a girl at the counter and by the looks of it she was from Hogwarts. Tim walked towards the counter pulling a stool out to sit. "I'll have a butterbeer,"he said looking at the man behind the counter with a smile.

He sat at the counter sipping on his butterbeer. What is she doing in the Three Broomsticks without anyone to talk to? Tim wondered wanting to ask her but decided to let her finish what she was reading. Without noticing it, he had drank all of his butterbeer. "Sir, may I have another butterbeer and one for the girl down there," he asked pulling a few gallions from his robe pocket.

When the man behind the counter handed Tim the two drinks, Tim stood up and walked towards the girl. "Hi, my names Tim Weasley,"he said holding one of the butterbeers in the girls reach. "I saw you in here by yourself when I walked in, I thought you might want some company,"Tim said with a smile. "What is your name,"he asked still holding the butterbeer in her reach.

Alanna jerked up from her letter to see a boy talking to her and holding two butterbeers. Hers was finished, she noticed.

"Hey," She said softly, "I'd love some company.Oh thanks!" As he handed her the other butterbeer. "I was just going to get another one myself. Oh, I'm Alanna Cooper, Fifth year Gryffindor.Nice to meet ya Tim Weasley" She said, smileing widely.

"What are you doing here all alone?" Alanna asked him. Giggling as she took a sip from her butterbeer, she thought of earlier that day. She looked at Tim with more interest...He looked like someone she knew but she couldn't remember who she was thinking of...Humm, maybe I'll remember later...

Tim smiled with a huge grin as the girl took the butterbeer from him. "Your welcome,"he replied. She looks really friendly. Tim thought to himself taking a seat next to her. He heard her tell him that she was named Alanna Cooper. "Well nice to meet you,"he told her taking a swig of his butterbeer. Alanna asked him why he had come in alone.
Why did I come in, oh I remember! He thought to himself. He looked around the room. "Well I came in her to relax and have a sweet butterbeer,"Tim replied with a big grin.

He took another swig from his butterbeer and rolled a gallion across his knuckles. He looked at the opened letter in Alanna's hand and looked up at her. "A letter from home eh,"Tim questioned. He had not had a reply from his dad in a long time. He checked the Owlery almost every day and every morning when the students recieved letters, he was always anxious waiting for an owl to drop of a letter but none came.

"My dad doesn't write back much, he is always busy with quidditch. Thats all he thinks about I think!"Tim stated with a slight frown on his face. Maybe thats why I am always trying to make new friends and talk to other people a lot? He wondered. He took another big swig from his butterbeer. "So why are you here alone,"Tim asked as he emptied his glass.

((OOC: The offer still stands, other guys are still welcome to join in this thread!))

"Well I'm here alone because I don't have a date.And all my friends are busy." She laughed. "What about you, why are you here alone?" She cocked her head, waiting.

"What year are you?" She asked a differint question. "I'm a Fifth year. Just in case you wanted to know..." Giggling , she took another sip from her half empty Butterbeer bottle.

She waved over the waitress, "Two more Butterbeers please" She said, taking a gallion from her pocket, and to Tim she smiled and said "It's on me. Oh, do you want another one?" She asked, realising that he might not want more.

Alanna folded her letters and put them in her bag. Thinking I'll finish reading them later, in the Gryffindor commen room. Or in my room, whichever. Whatever.
