After leaving the ice cream shop, Angelina pushed open the door of The Leaky Cauldron. She thought she'd pick up a couple of bags of chips before heading back to her flat. Someone was always hungry and in need of nourishment--if fried chips could be considered such. But they were good.

On her way to the bar to place her order, she noticed Percy staring intently into a half-empty shot glass. Peculiar, she thought. She ordered two orders of chips and a glass of water. She told the bartender where to find her, and then she strolled over to the booth where Percy sat.

She rested one hand on the tabletop and put down her glass of water. She smiled. "Hey Percy," she said, "drinking alone?" She raised one eyebrow. "Not your style."

Percy jumped at the sound of Angelina's voice- nearly sinfully smooth. His knees banged against the table and water sloshed out of Angelina's cup.

"Hi, Angelina," Percy said, his voice coming out high and raspy. He tried not to look at her, but he knew it would be impolite to avoid her eyes. He met them and sighed, focusing on her elbow- that was a safe place. He tried not to think of her strong, dark thighs-

He realized she'd been talking to him. "I, uh, was just trying to relax."

Angelina chuckled under her breath. "Doesn't appear to be working," she said, noticing how not relaxed Percy truly looked.

"Just ordered a few bags of take away chips," she continued, not making the move to sit down because clearly Percy was dealing with something. "And I thought I'd say hello." She paused and looked him over. "Everything...okay?"

"It had been," Percy ground out under his breath, and then shook his head to himself. It wasn't Angelina's fault that he had repressed feelings for her, apparently.

"Everything's okay," Percy confirmed, managing to relax his shoulders and smile up at her. Maybe George was right, and he needed some sort of release. He shouldn't be so tense, just looking at her. "Thanks for saying hello. I'm sorry I'm not the best company. Can we do tea soon, have a real conversation?" he asked, wanting to leave but not be rude. And tea did sound nice. This drink he had been nursing was sour and his head was starting to hurt.
