His messy styled hair gave him the attention his smarts did not with the ladies, he wasn't a player, ladies man, or anything of the sort. He was cute, sexy, handsome, and a gentleman when he wanted to be, but some girls just hadn't caught his fantasy. He didn't care, alot of his friends had crushes, not actually girls. He smiled at this and moved on in to the Three Broomsticks. He would enjoy a nice drink after some stressful days in classes, the teachers may be new but no less harsh, how exciting! The boy absolutely hated school, but he was clever enough, but apparently more brave to be landed in Gryffindor with his friends, without his sister.
Inside the pub was dim and it took matters of seconds to adjust, Albus Potter saw many friends in here but he didn't move to sit with them. He was simply stopping for a drink and chat, he wouldn't bother to go to some scattered friends, they had others with thema nd Al was just not in the mood to socialize too much. He figured a first drink would help with that, he smiled and walked to the bar easily. "Butterbeer, good man." The guy at the bar gave him a butterbeer and Albus sat on a stool and sipped in gulps while watching the door, maybe someone interesting would come in.
Albus could hold his liquor well but since it had been a month or so one beer had him relaxed enough to be easy in his words, although it would take three or four to get him drunk, how nice. He smiled and wondered if he would even go that far today, he was the smart one out of the pair of twins, would he sink to a James level? He grinned at the thought, it would be funny.

Holly walked slowly down the Hogsmeade Highstreet. So many different shops.. Holly had actually not come down here often, usually she went to the library when the trips were scheduled. She had gained abit more confidence after making a few more friends. After going to the quill shop and getting some magnificent royal blue ink for her diary and occasionally for fancy essays. Deciding to go get a drink she entered the Three Broomsticks, the smells and sounds washed over her as soon as she entered and she looked around. It was alot more crowded than it had been when she came the day before with Teddy. Ah, Teddy... Holly looked over and saw the booth they had sat in, and snuggled. Holly felt ehr cheeks turn abit pink as she thought of it, her heart tingling pleasently. However today she was alone. Looking at teh bar she only saw one or two empty stools. Taking one next to a boy maybe a year younger with black hair. a butterbeer please she asked the barkeep softly. That day, she was in her favorite pair of jeans. They were dark blue. She had a pair of silver, pointy-toe flats and a white t-shirt with a blue one underneath. Her faovirte color was blue, so it was a good thing she was in Ravenclaw. Her hair was naturall wavy so she did not touch it. Today, she had abit of eyeliner on and ofcourse her favorite clear lipgloss. Crossing her legs she smiled as she received her drink. Opening it with a fizz she took a small drink. The warm liquid poured down her throat and warmed her body. |

Albus was just sitting there miding his own business when she walked in; he could tell she had to be that one girl of his god-brother's. She was shy, her walk and body language said it all. Her cheeks turned a little pink when she looked at a certain booth; Al had turned his head, he hadn't seen Ted so what made her blush? The booth was unoccupied and Albus was smart enough to put two and two together. He figured that was the booth she and Teddy had sat in on their amazing date as the circle of friends whispered around. Albus smiled as the girl sat down beside him. She had barely noticed him but he would get his attention soon enough.
He left her to sit for a few moments then gulped the rest of his drink down and turned to her. "Hey there, I'm Albus Potter, I think your Holly, am I right?" He inquired with one ebon brow raised interest, also fear of being wrong, that was always a lovely way to start off knowing someone. He would just turn back around if she wasn't the girl he thought and try again elsewhere. Al almost laughed aloud at the thought of him mistaking this girl for Holly, it had to be her. The way Teddy seemed awed by her appearance was flat out in front of Al's eyes.
His own apparel consisted of dark muggle jeans that were loose, but not baggy, a loose red t-shirt with a golden lion on it. This was his Gryffindor shirt but the only reason he wore it was because he slapped things on and just messed with his hair. His sloppy hairstyle always got looks in the halls, but he didn't care much. He smiled at Holly and looked at her shirt, it was pretty, as far as Albus would look at it; he definately didn't want her to think he was oogling her or anything.

Holly was abit alarmed as she heard someone talk to her. She had been staring off into spacw turned with her back to him. Jumping slightly she turned in her stool and smiled shyly yeah, I'm Holly. Hi she said taking another sip of her butterbeer. How come all of a sudden everyone came up to her? did Teddy talk about er that much? Holly felt so special.. are you one of Teddy's friends? she asked quietly. On cue, she turned red when she said his name. Everything about that boy made her blush. She hoped to grow out of it if they kept seeing each other. Crossing her arms and resting them on the bar she sighed, smiling faintly at Albus. Everyone at school knew who he was named after. Albus Dumbledore, Hogwarts' previous headmaster, teh best headmaster Hogwarts had ever seen. it was pretty impressive. Holly basically devoured teh book Hogwarts: A History when she found out she had been accepted. Holly could feel eyes on her back, well no doubt more her ass as she leaned into teh bar slightly. Putting her gaze downcast she hunched her shoulders slighty, wishing to get away from their perverted eyes.

Albus smiled and nodded turned to the bar again; he intended on having another round. "'Nother butterbeer please!" He said loud enough for the bartender to here him from across the room, so his vocal cords were loosening. He smiled as he turned his head to Holly, she blushed at Teddy's name, how cute. Al thought it was nice that Teddy had a girl fallening hard for him. "Well...I am his god-brother...I suppose since my dad is his god father." Al shrugged at the relation thing, he wsan't always good with those things, unless he was in the zone of school and smarts; for now he was relaxed and enjoying himself. "So, you really like him?" He smiled, she probably wouldn't really tell him but without Teddy telling Al, he knew the boy had to like Holly alot. Even Albus would have dated her but he didn't think like that now, she was pretty, thats all he let himself think.
He turned to see a few guys staring at her, she seemed to have so much confidence that he figured they were staring because she was known now. He wanted to tell them to piss off but it wasn't his job quite yet, but he did consider it until one caught Al staring him down. His work was done for the moment. He smirked and turned back to Holly, she was slightly hunched over. Al felt like asking why she didn't let herself show, she was pretty, so why did she s tick to the label, bookworm; it wasn't his business but he still felt the urge.

Holly nodded at the relations. She had a godsister.. her family was the only ones Holly's parents entrusted with the knowledge of Hollly being a witch. Savannah was jealous of that fact and now hated Holly. She made fun of her and always threatened her. Ofcourse she could not do anything. She was afraid Holly would hex her or something. Taking another drink of her butterbeer she started relaxing abit more around Albus. As he asked if she really liked him she looked down. Blushing horrible she bit her lip and looked up smiling. Avoiding his gaze as if she never heard him. Finally, she turned her regular color. Noticing a guy look at her and Albus stare him down she laughed gently thanks.. she said softly. Straightening her back she sat with abit more confidence. However it was obvious her body was ready to shrivel up at any second. She always wanted to be able to become as small as possible. short |

Albus shrugged and drank some of his new order; he would have to start ordering some new satuff to try it out, although he had had all that was in here. His dark eyes scouring the room again and dared someone to make or do a rude gesture or thing. Since Holly was with him he would keep the jerks at bay then give them a piece of his mind if they tried to get past him. "Well...the only reason they stare, the guys right now, is because you're pretty. They didn't notice before because you wouldn't let them.[/]b" He gave her a smile and encouraging look. "Confidence gets you places, I suppose Teddy has done you good." He smiled, truthfully Holly could get any guy now, well, that liked her back. She was radiant and her shine would only expand once she understood her confidence was key.
If you took Arturo or Andromeda{yuck} for example, they knew they were pretty, they had confidence and that gave them chasers. The weird thing was, Arturo was dismissive to the guys that chased her, she kept them at bay; Albus didn't know why, she was normal, she wasn't homosexual but yet she seemed like her mind was on something else about boys. Andromeda was another story, she let the boys chase her and took their gifts of love or so they said. Now that witch was dating his twin and Albus was only curious as to how far they would go...was James whipped?
Turning back to Holly he smiled, he himself was confident and he could get any girl for now. He was a little smug but it didn't snag his ego much. "So Holly, how has school been? I am sort of bad at conversatio starters...could you help me out?" He told the truth and he could use it as a pick-up line but he really wanted to know Holly, the girl that his god-brother was dating. He wanted to see who she really was behind bookworm. She was pretty, what else was there?

Hollly shrugged, people said she was pretty when she put abit of effort. She was not cursed with bad looks, she was average. Not at all like Andromeda Malfoy with her shocking green eyes and perfect hair. Looks aren't everything. she added quietly. Confidence? yes, actually Teddy had given her confidence. Before now she probably would have made some excuse to leave,or she would not have even been there. Holly nodded yeah, he did give me confidence before... before I emt him I was invisible basically. Holly laughed gently, neither was she.. Well, erm.. I'm top in every class she said truthfullly, whatabout you? and I'm not good at conversation starters either... she said smiling softly. Taking another sip, she finished off her butterbeer and ordered another one. Crossing her legs she popped open the cover so, are you going to the ball? she asked curiously. No, she was not hitting on him. She had a date.. and she was so excited. Her dress was due to arrive the next day along with shoes, make-up, and jewellery. Her dress was silver and black, she was getting silver eyeshadow and a necklace with sapphires on it. It was gorgous. |

So the two had a bit in common, they both sucked at starting conversations, wasn't that cool? He laughed and nodded, with her confidence she was potential for everything, for Albus, a friend. "Well, I am glad I am not the only one who can't make a cool conversation start up." He drank more butterbeer and smiled. "Your confidence will help you make friends, of course don't let it bite your ego and make you like Andromeda." He chuckeld and winked at Holly, he was suire she had seen the fourteen year old who was two years younger than her. Albus relfected on how he couldn't see why his brother chose a younger girl...
Albus perked up at the ball, he really needed to talk to Anna. "Yea, actually I am going...my tux is pinstripe." He smiled, a lovely fashion statement for any who tried to look fashionable, Albus was the only rocker for fashion as a guy. {Of course he wasn't the only one per say} He looked at Holly she seemed excited. "You're going with Ted, right? I have to find a date...thinking about Anna Black, my adoptive sister..." He shrugged, who else was there? He figured that this dance wouldn't be like a hook up thing because, well it was just a dance...Although he was sure there would be hook ups at the end, maybe even break ups...He prayed James and Andromeda broke up soon. "If you know Arturo, I think she's going with my brother James." He nodded and tried to think of what he would do. "What's your dresslook like?" He smiled, he was nice enough to inquire about all dresses for dances, he liked how some of them looked on certain people.

Holly laughed, she could never be like Andromeda I could never be like that... she's really mean. Although she seems to have cooled down abit she said shrugging. Allbus seemed excited, she noded about the pinstripe. That would look great.. Anna Black.. oh! she knew her she's really nice she nodded happily he asked me yesterday aactually she commented quietly. Oh yes, she knew James was taking Arty.. Yeah I know, I also saw Andromeda's reaction.. that girl has some temper... she said quietly. She felt kind of bad actually, it must be hard dating someone in secret and watching them go to the ball with someone else. It would be hard, I guess it just shows maybe Andromeda has some sort of heart.. she said shrugging. Holly perked back up at the mention of her dress. It's strapless, does down to my feet, is black and silver silk in tiny stripes with a few little ruffles and is perfect! I'm wearing it with black flats, silver eyeshadow and a sapphire necklace she babbled happily. I don't dare wear heels.. I'm way to clumbsy she said laughing gently. It was true though, she managed to trip over her own two feet about ocne a day.. she planned to practice walking around in her dress in the girls dormitory. She possibly couldn't use the common room since Teddy was in her house and she did not want him to see her dress until she ball, she hoped he would like it. Holly took another drink of her butterbeer. The bottle clasped lightly in her hand. As her hair fell in her face she pushed it back gracefully. Smiling gently at Albus. |

"Good, we don't want Andromeda to become the new style." He laughed and finished off his second beer, life was good in the wizarding world, he became curious of Holly's blood all of a sudden. "Are you muggle born? I-I don't mean to be rude or anything but I was just curious, I'm 1/4 muggle." He smiled and looked a little distant. "You're right, looks is not everything but it can be in school, although there are some good guy here like me, Teds, and James, Adam too...[/]b" Those were a few of the good guys but he didn't need or want to say anymore.
Albus smiled, yea, Anna was great, she was so funny too. "Anna's the best friend anyone would die to have." Albus raise dhis eyes at her knwoledge of Arty. "Wow...word must get around fast, yea I bet Andromeda is pissed, but she can't go with James...Maybe she'll break up with him finally!" Albus laughed, he hated that bitch...she needed to die, no matter how soft she became to James, Albus would never accpet her and probably hide his family from James if Andi was a permenant partner. "I don't mean to sound rude but I really hate Andromeda." He made a look of disgust and shook his head, she was a nasty little bugger.
Albus smiled as she said pinstripes were nice, he would look pimped. It made him laugh to think of the silly words muggles had. "your dress sounds lovely, I bet we'll all love it at the Ball." He smiled at her clumsy comment; he couldn't tell really, she looked like she could float as she was tall with long legs and well...He looked away. "I don't think I'll wear high heels either, may not compliment the tuxs." He smiled and chuckled, he was getting loose but he still had a head.

Holly nodded, yeah I'm muggle-born. she said smiling slightly. Unlike most pople, Albus didn't think it was funny, or disgraceful. Holly nodded yeah, she's majorly pissed.. when I saw her she was in an empty classroom crying and she punched a window before fixing it with her wand and then as she left and saw me she tried to hex me she said shrugging. Her eyes widened as he said he hoped they broke up. Holly squirmed slightly in her chair. I think the she was just reallly upset. It must be hard for her.. she said gently. Taking another sip she smiled and nodded I hate her too, she likes to remind me I'm muggle-born and that shes stunning, but I still feel bad for her, she said softly. Ofcourse she had a feeling Albus didn't just hate her, but her whole family. The whole school knew the history between the Potters and the Malfoys. Holly beamed thanks.. I must have looked through two dress magazines, I think it will suprise Teddy. she said happily. Blushing once more at the mention of his name, she really needed to stop doing that! Holly laughed yeah well I hope you won't. It will make me look even shorter than I am.. but if you did, and you fell it would only make me look better if I was standing beside you! she teased light-heartidly. |

"That's cool, we need some fresh blood in our school, the same old families get boring!" He laughed whole-heartedly and was proud of his muggle friends and blood. He shook his head in distaste of Andi though, she thought she was better but Holly was probably better than Andi at being a witch with magic. He smield at Holly, he was surprised Andromeda would date a wizard with a fourth of muggle in him. "Andromeda is not better, she may look pretty but I find her hideous, your the better witch, with everything Andi doesn't have." He laughed and nodded for another drink, this time it was firewhiskey, he would be sick tomorrow, having liquor after beer was sickening. "Andromeda needs a muzzle and soemthing to hold her temper still." Albus smirked and nodded, she was a beast.
He laughed at Holly's teasing; she was completely friend material for him to tkae and hang about himself. "Well, I wouldn't like to stick my feet in those straps some heels have! I've seen some Gryffindor girls slide them off and have marks all over their feet...ew...haha, I would look stunning but I would fall no doubt!" He laughed and almost fell off his chair, his laugh was full of joyfulness. He straightened and drank a tiny bit of the whiskey before popping his eyes open widely; the heat seared into the pit of his stomach and burned his intestines the good, yet bad, way. He laughed..."I tell you I am not drunk, you should see my drunk, this is relaxed and loose." He was sure Holly thought of him as some drunk idiot but he was only loosening form his tense school posture.
