Neville was already on his second round of Butterbeer when Tonks finally arrived at The Three Broomsticks. He kept glancing over near the doorway every few moments, hoping to catch sight of her, or more precisely, her oddly-coloured hair. It would be the simplest thing to spot in the place, though once he did see her, he had trouble trying to catch her attention. He tried calling out her name, but his voice didn't carry over the boisterous din of customers in the pub. He tried waving a beckoning arm at her but as he was pressed up in one tiny corner of the place (behind a rather rowdy group of young wizards), he suspected she didn't catch that either.

Finally reaching the end of his patience, he stood up from his seat, and projected a clearly audible "Oi!" just as the crowd noise dipped in volume. Too many eyes were on him as he ducked his head sheepishly, trying to hide his gradually reddening face. If Tonks didn't know where Neville was in the pub before, she certainly knew now...

There was a noise- a rather loud one- beyond the voices of this particular pair of wizards near the end of the room, where Tonks had mingled toward. Chatty old buggers, Tonks thought to herself as she moved away from them. That’s when she heard it- sounded like someone trying to get another’s attention it did- and Tonks sidestepped around a table to glance toward the direction it seemed to come from. AH! Neville!

Her eyes catch sight of Neville as he returned to his seat, a small glance he gave her before positioning himself to sit. Oh thank Merlin! Tonks immediately ushers herself to Neville’s table, with a few ‘Oh excuse me.”, and a couple of “What do you mean that’s your toe?!” Before she arrives to stand nearest to where he sat ( ... )

"It's okay, really." His voice was softer than normal, and he still felt the stares of complete strangers burning into the back of his neck. "I nearly splinched myself Apparating to Hogsmeade. Wasn't concentrating hard enough, I suppose." Out of all the wizard modes of travel, he disliked Apparating the least. All the others made him extremely queasy in some aspect or another, whether it was spinning around the Floo Network or by Portkey. And Merlin help him, he hadn't been on a broom since that disasterous flying lesson back in first year ( ... )

Tonks fiddled with the clasp at her neck, and then dropped the cloak to the back of her chair as she looked to Neville- still smiling. “Splinched?” Her eyebrow arched up curiously, “Do be careful- I’d not have suggested Hogsmeade if I thought you’d get splinched. But- you look in one piece and all… so congrats on being successful, then!” Tonks’ eyes glanced down at Neville’s drink as he gestured. “Nah- no where else, for sure. OH- no, no… I was more concerned to find out if you still here first, but- never you mind… I can get something ( ... )
