After a day of lounging around with nothing to do, Adrian was more than happy to see the clock's minute hand twitch into place, announcing it was time for him to leave. He was already dressed and ready, and it was simply a matter of locking up his flat and then walking to the nearest apparation point.

Diagon Alley was as boisterous as usual, and it took him a few minutes to come upon where he thought Lavender's flat might be. He happened to look up and see her head peering down at him, so he waved to her and said, "Hello!". The woman was more than a bit man-hungry, but he was happy to oblige. He liked women as much or more than she liked men.

He took the stairs two at a time and arrived at her door slightly breathless. He paused to make sure that the flowers he had bought down the street looked appealing and then knocked, expecting that she would be just on the other side of the door, ready to open it.

Lavender was excited to see Ady walking along Diagon, and waved at him enthusiastically as she saw him. "Hi, Adrian!" she called. As soon as he disappeared into the ground floor of the apartment building she rushed over to the door, waiting for him to knock.

"Hi!" she said, again, beaming at him. "Welcome to my humble home," she said, fighting back a giggle for the moment. Her eyes flew to the flowers and she gasped. "Ooooh -- are, are those for me?" She motioned to the flowers, letting a giggle escape her. "Oooh Adrian! They're lovely!" she squealed, reaching for them. No one had bought her flowers in a long time. She took the flowers from him with a tremendous smile and then headed towards the kitchen to find a vase for them. "Come in, come in!" she said. "I'll just put these under some water and then, well, would you like a drink, Adrian?"

"Yes, these are for you, although I have to say they're not as lovely as you. And yes, I'd love to have a drink." He smiled as she took the flowers from him and then proceeded to search for a vase. While she did that he wandered into the living room and was bombarded with pastels. Quite the contrast from his own apartment, which was a contrast of white and black with chrome accents. The decorating was... okay. Certainly not done by a professional, but it came together well. Or as well as one would expect a couple of Gryffindors to decorate.

He sat on the couch and waited for Lavender to join him, humming to himself patiently while looking out through the porch to the sky beyond.

"Oh, Adrian," Lavender giggled at his compliment from the counter as she trimmed the ends of the flowers and stuck them into the vase. It was really Parvati's vase since Lavender didn't often get flowers to keep nice. She'd have to dig around their cupboards later for some sort of magical fungi that kept flowers more vibrant longer.

"Uhm," said Lavender after setting the vase on the counter so that Parvati would notice it from whenever she came out of her room. "So, what's your pleasure?" she said. "I've gone some.. Some firewhisky, some rum, we're got some wine here somewhere.." She dashed to her room quickly to bring the stuff that she had stashed there. "Ice, no ice?" She giggled, pouring herself a rum and coke. "I serve tea, not alcohol, so I hope that I do alright -- Unless you'd like some tea instead, Adrian?"

She walked inside the room, taking a sip of her own drink. "Isn't it a lovely porch?" she said. "Parvati and I just fell in love with it the first moment we saw it... We knew we had to get this place."
