Deputy Headmistress Borealis: You can choose any house you want. Gryffindor has quite a few characters in it right now, but it's not full yet. Hufflepuff is the only house without characters in it yet.

Ava didn't have to work today, so she had spent most of day doing some chores around the house and it really needed it too. Though she used her magic to some of the cleaning, few things she did herself and now she had stuff to pick up in Hogsmeade. She had changed her clothes, got herself ready to go out and then headed out.
She arrived there in a few minutes later, had made herself a list of things that she needed and she liked to make sure that she didn't forget anything. Thought about stopping by Honeydukes to get some of her favorite candies, then get some lunch at the Three Broomsticks and looks at her list to see what she needs to get first. She sees that she needs to go to the post office, had a letter to her parents and a few things to send them. Twenty minutes later, leave the post office and looks at her list to see what is next and then heads for the next stop. As soon as she was done with the things on her list, goes to the Inn and goes inside when she arrives. Goes over the bar, orders a butterbeer and something and a few minutes later, gets her butterbeer.
Skyler was exhausted after practice. Tempest had been in a rare mood and ran it longer than usual. You would think she would be used to it by now, but you never knew when one of Tempest's moods would erupt. Right now she just wanted a butterbeer and some beef pasties. She had already sent her order in, but it wouldn't be ready for about another ten minutes or so. Her mouth was watering just thinking about the beef pasties. Her stomach grumbled letting her know she was hungry too as well las tired. She felt like her bed was calling her name.
Her order consisted of two orders of beef pasties, with side salads. A tub of butterbeer ice cream to have for dessert. There was also a spare ribs platter for her brother with corn on the cob and potatoes. It was one of his favorites. Just as the meat pastries were hers. She figured she could have a butterbeer while she waited, and grab another one to go. She flew in and was walking transferring her broom to her hand to walk into the Three Broomsticks. A yawn escaped as she walked into the Inn. She walked up to the bar and smiled as a butterbeer was set in front of her. "Thanks." She did well to remember her manners.

Has a few sips of her butterbeer, as waits for her order and then looks around the place, notices it is pretty full in here. She is glad it is her day off, knew how it gets here when there are this many people and it is not fun. Wasn't looking forward to working tomorrow, but she needs the money. Takes a couple of sips of her butterbeer, wonders if anyone she knows will show up at some point and wonders what she should do after she eats. After thinking about it a few minutes, decided to just hang out here until she felt like leaving and going home.
As she sat there, drinking her butterbeer and looks to see if she could find someone to have conversation with. She finishes her drink, orders another one and said her food would be a little bit longer. Then set another glass of butterbeer in front of her, notices a girl with blue hair standing next to her now and looks at her a few minutes. Remembers seeing her around Hogwarts, though she is a year younger than her and she had to admit that she is cute.
Skyler took a sip of her butterbeer and let out a sigh of contentment. Butterbeers never got old in her opinion. She slid onto the barstool so as not to have to stand the whole time waiting for her order. A few people greeted her as they went by, and she nodded at them or said hello back and how she was if she was asked. She made sure to ask how they were doing as well. Her broom she propped up beside her at the bar. It was usually close to her wherever she went. Especially this one it was a new one that just came out. Oliver had a fit when she got it, and stole it from her to put extra charms on it. She had just shaken her head and let him.
Slowly she became aware of the girl sitting beside her who was staring at her. She smiled at her remembering her as a Gryffindor when they had been at Hogwarts. Though she couldn't remember her name. She took another sip of her butterbeer as she waited for her order to be finished so she could head to the Matheson's and then head on to her flat.

Ava's order was finally arrived, very glad it was ready and plus her stomach was starting to make noise and has some of her butterbeer first. Takes a few bites of it, noticed that the girl was sitting next her was still here, couldn't think of her name and it was bugging her. She turns back to food, trying to think of what it is and decided to just ask her, if she is right about her going to Hogwarts. Before she did, has more of her food and butterbeer. She turns in her seat to face her, when she asks and crosses her legs.
"Excuse me, I was just curious. You went to Hogwarts and was in Ravenclaw right?" Ava asked.
Ava grabs her glass, takes a couple of sips and waits for the girl to respond back to her. She takes a quick look around to see anyone she knows came, doesn't see any of the people that she knows at all. Can't believe she couldn't think of her name, puts her glass down on the counter and then remembers that she did see the around the school.
Skyler was enjoying her butterbeer as she relaxed at the bar. She hoped by the time she got to the Matheson's that Tempest was already in her room or at her family home. With her mood she didn't want to run into her again, but she would tempt fate to eat with Oliver who was probably ignoring his stomach as usual. One of these days she was going to find out what he did alone in his room all the time. She needed to find a good girl for him to get him out and about instead of holding up in his room.
She was pulled out of her thoughts by someone talking to her. She came out of her reverie and looked over. "Oh yeah. I was in Ravenclaw. I'm Skyler Falcon. You were a Gryffindor if I remember right. You were in Jordon and Chris's year." She smiled at her, before taking a sip of her butterbeer.

Ava had some more of her butterbeer, took a couple of bites of her food and noticed that she is halfway done with her drink. She orders another butterbeer, has some more of her food and looks again to see if any of her friends or anyone she knows had showed up, no such luck yet. She has some of her food, a few sips of her drink and puts her hands in her lap, covers her mouth as she burps. She was glad it wasn't loud, that everyone can hear it and puts her hand back on her lap.
After a few minutes, got her next glass of butterbeer and finishes off the one she has. Moves her empty glass next to the one she just got, grabs new glass of butterbeer and takes a couple of sips. Hears the girl next her, respond back to her and looks over at her. Nods her head, "Yeah, I was in Gryffindor. I'm Ava Joy Simpson. Yep, I remember seeing them around the common room." Ava said, as she smiles back at her.
Skyler finished off her butterbeer. She groaned a bit as the waitress told her it would be about ten more minutes on her brother's food. She ordered another butterbeer then. She was starving, but she had told Oliver she'd be there to eat with him after she got the food so she couldn't eat already. It wasn't that far from here flying to the Matheson's. She'd be there shortly after that. Then she could dig into her food. The boys knew how she ate anyway consuming her food like it was oxygen. "Thanks." She smiled at the waitress when she sat another butterbeer in front of her. She took a sip enjoying the taste of it.
"The boys probably livened the common room up especially if Tempest was thrown into the mix. Never a dull moment with those three in the house." Skyler smirked slightly thinking about it. It was always a party at the Matheson's house it seemed. She just needed to move in there and not have to head back home after things there. She liked her little flat though and so did her cat Twinkles. Though he seemed to love the attention when the others visited her. Twinkles acted like he never got any attention which flabbergasted her cause she was always talking up a storm to him telling him about her day and the others. He'd always been a good listener.

Ava finished eating her food and takes a few sips of her drink, still thinking about if she should get some ice cream or not. Since she does have candies from Honeydukes, going to think it over a little bit longer and has some more of her butterbeer. Thinking about going home after she is finished here and has a few sips of her drink.
"Yeah, it seemed like they did, I always wondered why they spent so much time in the common room. You got that right, the house was never dull." Ava said, as she laughs just thinking about it. Herself liked hanging out in the common room, but she also liked going out to the lake whenever it was nice outside and going to the library. She finished her butterbeer, gets out her money and puts down on the bar and stays in her seat, goes into her candy bag to pull out a piece of candy. She unwraps it, pops into her month and says something to Skyler. "So, what have you up too lately?" Ava asked.
Skyler sighed drinking her butterbeer and waiting on her food that was taking forever, but they were busy so she knew it would take awhile. "Can I go ahead and pay?" She smiled at the bartend and sighed hearing him. "Alright." She said with a shrug if her brother's wanted to take care of her they could. She wasn't going to argue where food was involved.
"Sorry Sky. Your brothers said to put it on their tab whenever you came in not to take your money." The bartender grinned at her. He went back to what he had been doing.
She rose an eyebrow hearing Ava. "All the time? They lived on the Quidditch Pitch. They were probably gathered in there whenever they weren't. Unless we met up elsewhere." She said as they had met so those that were in different houses could have fun together. Usually on the weekends when there wasn't class the next day. She glanced at her phone answering a few texts that were coming in.

Ava had decided to get some dessert, also noticed that she is almost done with her drink and ask the bartender for another butterbeer and some ice cream. Thought that after this, she would walk around Hogsmeade for little bit and then head home. She has the last sips of her drink, moves her empty glass for the bartender to be able to reach it.
Noticed that Skyler is looking at her now and says something, after Skyler finished talking "Oh yeah, it felt like they were in the common room a lot. While the times I would hang out in the common room anyways." Ava said. She waits for the bartender to come over, to order some dessert and another butterbeer. She tries to think of what to do, after she gets back home and knew she already did a few things around the house. She figured that she would just hang out in her living room, just chill and pet her owl.
Skyler nodded at Ava. "Alright." She said and smiled at the bartender when he sat a sack of food in front of her. "Thanks!" She she grabbed the bag and made sure it was all in there. It usually was, and was this time. "Well it was nice seeing you Ava. Have a good day!" She smiled at her getting up and grabbing her broom. Her stomach was grumbling and she was more than starved. Now she could go eat and then go take a nap or just go to bed early. Last night had been a late night and then practice she didn't even want to think about. She walked out of the Three Broomsticks. Hopping on her broom she shot up and headed toward the Mathesons.

Ava smiles a little bit, noticed one of the bartenders give Skyler whatever it is was she had ordered and she was still waiting to order some dessert and another butterbeer. Hears Skyler speak to her again, "It was also nice to see you. Thanks, I hope you also have a nice day." Ava said, as she smiles at Skyler. Sees Skyler pick up her broomstick, then walks out of the three broomsticks and she turns back around in her seat.
The bartender comes over to her, asked if she would like anything else and asks for dessert, also a butterbeer. She decided to not to go for a walk around Hogsmeade, is going to just go back home and just relax for the rest of the day. Then noticed that the broomsticks isn't as full as it was when she first got here. A couple of second later, the bartender brings over her order and started to thank him, as she went into her bag. "Thanks, I would like to pay for everything that I ordered now." Ava said. The bartender tells her how it is, hands him the money and he takes it from her.
A little while later, finishes her dessert and drink and grabs her stuff to head out. Thanks the bartender again, looks to make sure that she has everything and walks out of the three broomsticks.
