Needing Some Food _open_

[James Potter]

"Yeah," James said, "I'm fine." He grunted, heaving himself up onto his feet once more, then he climbed the rest of the stairs with powerful strides.

"Where to next?" He asked, as if they were on a rather interesting day trip, as oppose to an escape route.

[Gabrielle Rayes]

"Your sure your okay?" she asked again. "Where to next?" she asked herself."Hmm so many places to go outside of the castle?" she put a finger to her chin."Hmm maybe we should goto hogsmead? There's no where else to go in here" she told him siting down in one of the armchairs.

[James Potter]

"Yeah." James repeated when asked how he was. His eyes a-lighted with a mischevious wild look as she mentioned the possibility of Hogmeade.

"If you're game I'll follow you." He said michieviously. Then added, "shall we?"

[Gabrielle Rayes]

Abby grinned widely."We shall" she then took a couch cover and tapped it with her wand making it turn into a cloak. She then wrapped it around herself. She then headed for the door."Come on, I think the THree broomsticks is open right now." she said opening the door and looked around.

[James Potter]

James followed her, reluctant that he didn't have a cloak with him. Oh well, he would do without, and it wouldn't be the first time. Careful to shut the door quietly behind him (the first graceful thing he had performed sucessfully that night) he stepped out into the cool night air and walked next Gabrielle towards a brightly lit coffee shop, not a far distance from where they were.

[Gabrielle Rayes]

"So what made you goto a pub with me, a complete stranger?" she asked him. Most people wouldnt go any where with someone they didnt know. But she shrugged away the thought and walked into the pub. "One firewhiskey please." she asked the bartender and paid. She then stepped aside for James to order.

[James Potter]

"You're not a complete stranger." James said, then he stopped and considered that. "Well, perhaps I don't know you all that well, but I hope you trust that I'm not going to turn you in to the Headmistress for being out so late." He said stepping up to the counter as well. "One butterbeer." He said rumaging in his pockets. "Gracias, amiga." He commented as the Rosmerta plunked down a foaming hot mug and he slammed down a fistfull of coins. He turned back to Grabrielle. "Or my sister." he added with a cringe.

[Gabrielle Rayes]

She laughed."But your sister seems cool" she said sitting down at some table and then taking a drink of her firewhiskey."But still, can you trust me?" she asked him raising an eyebrow. She was always the one who asked a lot of questions, and made people think. She sometimes asked hard questions, sometimes easy ones and occationaly trick ones.

[James Potter]

James grinned michieviously.

"I don't know, can I?" He asked her. He paused for a moment, and then fell silent. "I don't know you all that well yet, but this seems to be a great beginning to an aquaintenceship." He looked at her, she was the first person in all his five years at Hogwarts to not either go running after him because he was Harry Potter's son, or ignoring him because of that, or simply avoiding him because they thought he was weird. When really he was just happy to play pranks on people, share a good laugh, and enjoy life. But could he call her a friend yet? He had just met her. But what did you do if you were friends anyway? Mum and Dad always had said that friends were some of the most important people in your life, but James had yet to acquire a friend. Acquire, was the right word in even. He didn't know...

[Gabrielle Rayes]

"Im pretty sure you can, unless i have, as my dad calls it, evil grin, Then you cant trust me." she grinned."But Im pretty okay, Im trust worthy." she said leaning back into the chair and drinking her firewhiskey."Hmm and Im pretty sure I can trust you as long as i know whats in your hands." she knew about his pranking. She got her entertainment from it, but she knew to keep her distance when he hand somehting planned.

[James Potter]

James flashed her a sudden, it was the kind of grin one smile when one knows that they have been ratted out.

"Ok, ok." He said grinning widely, he brought his hand down on the table and let his fist open. Inside was a Filibuster's firecracker he had been planning to use on somebody, he slammed it down on the table with a fake sigh of resignment.

"Ok, I'm busted." He said in a sad bu sarcastic way, he put both wrists together and put them on the table. "Clap me in irons and take me to Azakaban." he joked.

[Gabrielle Rayes]

"haha I knew it" she laughed" Give it here" she said grabbing it from him. SHe then got up and got her bottle. She walked over tot he trash can dropping the firecracker in some poor blokes cup. She threw away the bottle and came back to sit down. under the table she waved her wand . The cup exploded and she grin."See what you did. Look at what you made me do" she grinned looking at him. There it was her evil grin. the thing that scared her parents and friends

[James Potter]

“That was evil.” James muttered, “I can’t believe you wouldn’t let me do that.” There was a loud bang as something exploded behind the bar. James raised his head as he heard a woman’s scream. “What’s going on?” He asked of no one in particular, but his tone was more serious and quieter now. His hand found its way to his belt where he discretely drew his wand.

[Gabrielle Rayes]

Indistinctly she gripped her wand and threw her arms over head. She looked up at him."Wasnt me ht tme" she muttered. She picked her head up and looked over at he bar, it was chipped and smoking."Bloody hell" she said her brown eyes lookng around.She looked back at James."That would be wicked aweome if it was a prank." she whispered and held on to her wand.

[James Potter]

"I don't think that was the sound of a prank." James replied as the woman screamed again. "It sounds more like yuercs." He replied. "But why would they be here?"
