"Leaky Cauldron sounds perfect. Now stop rubbing the broom before you rub all the finishing off. Seriously, it's not your boyfriend, there is no need to stroke it like that," Alicia said jokingly as she dragged Angelina away.

They made their way into the Leaky Cauldron and Alicia slid into a seat with a sigh, happy to be off her feet for a moment. "You know, I still can't get over how much fun the other night was. I miss going out with you guys, we need to do it more often."

Angelina laughed at Alicia's remark, cheeks flushing slightly, before following Al outside.

"It was so much fun," she agreed. "I was a bit put off by the place, 'cause damn, it was seedy, but it grew on me. After a couple of drinks."

She picked up the menu and looked through it. Pie. Pie was good.

"Not to mention that I'm so happy it's almost ridiculous that you found someone else to dance with. Gave me more quality drinking time. Everybody wins."

[rar_alicia]

"Hey, are you implying that people don't want to dance with me? I will have you know that I had plenty of offers...ok well I didn't have to fight too hard to get a dance out of people. And did you see Lee and George together? They were so cute. They actually looked happy and well its been awhile."

The waitress came over and Alicia ordered a sandwich and a pint and turned her attention back to Ang. "So is work going alright? Have you developed a kink for ink?"

[rar_angelina]

"No, I'm saying I don't dance and you not bugging me about it seriously gave me a lot of drinking time. And you kept the Weasley boys entertained. Plus Lee. Although, I suppose we can count him in. They are so adorable, by the way. I get all swoony just thinking about it."

She ordered pie and a pint and wondered how the hell one did this thing called talking to your friends. Because she needed to talk. Desperately. But damn. She had no idea how to go about it. Sometimes it sucked to be the opposite of girly.

"A kink for ink? Not yet. I'm willing to try anything once, you know that. Some things twice."

"And how exactly do you plan to do that? You better start training if you plan to show me up because there is no way you are going to be better than me." Alicia smiled as she flicked a bit of her food at Angelina. Alicia might be friends with Ang but there was no denying her competitive nature.

"Seriously though, if you plan on being beater you are going to have to get some practice in. We wouldn't want you giving a bad name to Gryffindors everywhere. Friend or no, you play shit and you will hear about from me, endlessly."

[rar_angelina]

"I run. Just not at the crack of dawn like some people." Angelina threw a piece of her pie right back at Alicia while rolling her eyes at the competetiveness gleaming in her eyes.

"No, Al, I was just going to go out on the pitch and expect to be a kick arse Beater just like that."

[rar_alicia]

"When is the last time you went for a run? A bloody liar is what you are." Alicia laughed as Angelina made a face and flicked the piece of pie Angelina threw from the table.

"Well I can't say it's the best strategy but you always were a cocky one. Do you think Percy will come watch the games and wear a 'Go Angelina' shirt, or is he more of a sign kinda guy?"

[rar_angelina]

Angelina scoffed. "Considering the look on his face when I left I'd say the only way you'll get him within a hundred feet of me would be if you stunned him and dragged him there."

She took care to cut a perfectly sized piece of pie and ate it slowly.

"It's alright though. I don't care either way."
