RP: We Meet Again
Date: 9 November, 2004
Character(s): Viktor, Hermione
Location: 33 Alpha Ave
Status: Private, though Ron or Harry might overhear and/or join in.
Summary: Viktor comes to lunch
Completion: Complete
Viktor found, as he tried out his newly-cleaned shower, that he'd missed a long strip of the grout in repairing the crack from the day before, so getting cleaned up and dressed took longer than it ought to have when he had to stop and deal with the leak that resulted. He'd intended to have plenty of time to stop across the river at the 5 Alarm and just get lunch to bring, since Hermione had said they had only just arrived.
However, it was mid-day, and he expected the 5 Alarm was probably fairly busy, so instead, he chose to simply put together a bit of a cold lunch from what he had in his kitchen. It wasn't much--cold sandwiches and plain fruit--but then, this wasn't a fancy event. It was just a meal and catching up with a friend.
The tea situation was a bit of a problem; Viktor generally drank coffee, so it was a matter of finding tea that had been left by the previous occupant. At last he found it, in the cupboard over the dish-drying cabinet--he'd begun to suspect it was also for dish-washing, but wasn't certain how to use it--in a sealed canister with a clever top that had to be pinched to open.
Supplies organized, he checked to make sure he hadn't got mustard on his shirt, then went outside.
He'd just yesterday found the bicycle in the garden shed. It had taken him a few tries to work out the balance on it, mostly because unlike a broom it was subject to the irregularities of the ground under it, with little of the leeway available to a broom-rider in the air; in the air, if one dropped an inch or two to the left, one might miss the Snitch, but one wouldn't remove all the skin from one's knee hitting the gravel road. Now, though, he felt confident he understood how to ride it.
Just in case, he cast cushioning charms on the new skin on both knees, as well as on the heels of his hands, which were also a bit tender due to catching himself with them, and set off, lunch balanced, with a sticking charm, on the handlebars.
It wasn't, he found, terribly far to 33 Alpha.
