As she approached him, she noticed, however, that there was another person he was speaking to. A blond who looked vaguely familiar, though Padma couldn't place her at the moment. Both of them looked highly uncomfortable. Blitz must have commanded Terry to touch the girl in some way. Poor gal. She was probably scared out of her wits.
"Terry!" Padma said, moving in beside him and curling her arms about his shoulders and placing a brief kiss on his cheek without so much as really waiting to make sure he'd be all right with it. Hopefully, he wouldn't panic.
When the save had been rightly established, Padma turned to the other woman with a broad smile, "Sorry if I was interrupting anything," She said, shifting as she tucked her left arm around Terry's and extended her right hand towards the unfamiliar woman. "Padma Patil, at your service."

"Hullo," he said very quietly after a moment.

"Fleur Delacour-Weasley." She said, extending her hand towards the woman.
Atleast she seems normal. Though on second thought she realized Terry had seemed normal as well.
"Not interrupting at all, Terry recognized me from ze Tri-Weezard Tournament. Just doing a bit of catching up after all zese years." She shifted her weight and grinned, "I spend a lot of time in 'is 'ouse while we were zere."
Fleur silently prayed the Padma would prove to be as normal as she seemed, because she was not sure she could handle another one like Terry.

"Hope this guy hasn't been giving you too much trouble," Padma said as she squeeze Terry's arm lightly as she turned to him. "Anthony's finally decided to come out of the woodwork, Terry. And he's still just as stuffy as ever. We're gonna have to figure out a way to get him to have some fun."

Masking his blatant disdain with a blank stare, Terry peered at Padma a moment as she squeezed his arm. "Oh- yes, we will."
He looked back at Fleur and squinted. There was something curious about her he couldn't quite put a finger on.

"Speaking of Fred and George, I was actually just on my way to zere shop." She said with a chuckle, "Zere iz defeenitely never a dull moment around those two."
She smiled at Padma and looked at Terry who looked as if he was studying her. With a puzzling look she turned back to Padma. The situation was uncomfortable and Fleur's patience was wearing thin.
Up till this point she had been proud of the control she has exercised over her temper. Having not snapped at Terry had indeed been a feat, but she knew much more of these unsettling looks would send her over the edge. Even if the boy was mental.

When Fleur mentioned that she was on the way to WWW, Padma glanced over at Terry before back at Fleur, noticing what appeared to be odd looks on both their faces. Goodness. What had she walked into? Well, she could always try and head off whatever awkwardness would come from standing around too long.
"Well, we'd certainly hate to keep you," Padma said, offering the woman a broad smile as she tugged on Terry's arm and turning to him with her sweetest expression. "Walk me back to work? Pretty please, Terry."

Finally, after a moment, still unable to name what was so curious about the woman, he looked back at Padma. His face betrayed his 'mental anguish'- Blitz had decided to fly into some sort of rage, leaving Terry's ears ringing. "Of course."
Reply
She had started to ask Padma where it was she worked, in an attempt to keep conversation flowing when she mentioned getting back to work. "Oh, I am een no 'urry, but eef you 'ave to return to work; I would not wish to make you late."
Her head tilted to the side as she smiled at Terry. Sorry? She didn't know what to make of that. Apology accepted? Did he really need to be sorry, she didn't know. So she shook her head softly and attempted a smile.
"No need to apologize, Terry, eet was nice to 'ave seen you again."
