spaceLil did not, as a rule, spend much time in Diagon Alley. She felt weird, for one, being that she was not magic, and she needed help to get there most of the time anyway. Besides, she had a whole muggle life, full of muggle people, who she could not invite to go shopping at a super secret magical bazaar. Well, she could technically, but it was pretty illegal. Also they'd think she was crazy. That was the hardest part, she always thought, about being the only muggle in a magical family. She was pretty sure she had at least one co-worker who thought she was legitimately disturbed because she'd made one too many accidental references to magic. She actually got picked on quite a bit, in fact, over the time she flubbed mentioning Jojo being able to turn into a butterfly, and had to cover it by pretending she'd been speaking metaphorically. Not her finest moment.

spaceIt was a relief, then, that she had friends like Puck, who despite being magic herself, was used to muggle things, so Lil didn't sound insane talking to her. Friendship with Puck had the added bonus of being able to get her access to magical locations without having to pester her former guardians. And the second, much more important added bonus, of being able to tell her when there were shopkeepers in said magical locations who had heretofore gone tragically un-ogled. Being happily married herself, Puck was firmly in the 'look but don't touch' camp with attractive people. Lil however, who was still depressingly single (due in no small part to the whole 'constantly sounding crazy' thing), was more in the 'flirt with every hot guy 'til it sticks' camp. Fortunately, Puck was more than willing to indulge her.

spaceIt was with this most sacred of missions that the two girls entered the candy shop, Lil's eyes wide as saucers as she took in... well, all of it. She didn't spend a lot of time in such places, being a fashion aficionado with a weakness for sweets. Plus, everything in the magical world just always seemed so... extra. Like haute couture to the normal world's off the rack. Still, her eyes were on the prize. Her one regret was that this was a proper store, and not something more like the ice cream shop. This mysterious, attractive employee, if he were present, was under no real obligation to interact with her beyond ringing her up. Hopefully he was around and feeling helpful.

Dressed up to the eyes It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound

☯⚝ϟ Puck was honest-to-God pissed at herself for not thinking of this sooner. The candy shop had always sorta been there and she stopped by enough that she was sure she'd notice anything big happening but apparently not. It took her being heavily pregnant and craving sugary peanut butter goodness on a near daily basis for her to not only see that the shop now had a new owner but that the new owner was monstrously attractive. Like it was disgusting really; tall, handsome, FRECKLES. An absolute attack on her person.

Once again, she'd been heavily disappointed in the lack of connectivity between magic and electronics because he was living breathing snapchat goals. She was married yes but damned if that suddenly stopped her from still noticing hot people. (Plus it wasn't like she was actually interested in said hot people when she had her own hot person to go home to every night).

But to make matters worse, despite the near weekly visits during her pregnancy Puck completely forgot about the hot owner until last week when she'd taken Lewis for a treat of his own and spotted him like a rare exotic animal at your local dollar store. After running home and turning her phone on, she'd instantly called up Lil demanding she come with her to this shop for the treats that awaited her (and she really did mean treats as in plural).

Puck huffed a bit in laughter at Lil's gaping expression knowing that despite having a sweet tooth she actually had the mental fortitude to follow serving directions. Which in her honest opinion made her the strongest person she knew with the highest propensity for evil. She didn't spot the dude right away and wondered, for the second or so time, why the guy hadn't hired many people yet. She def understood the struggles of opening a business having watched, and aided, Dris firsthand with his own and it was actually because of her husband she knew the Hawt Individual was in fact the owner. (She was still in the mind that Dris' family was either part of or sectioned from the mob as to own so much of the alley like it was honestly uncanny.)

Suddenly, he appeared carrying a box and using a box cutter (so many open leg jokes so little time) to stack candy in the display. "See what I mean? Tall, handsome, acceptably responsible, knows how to handle tools..." Puck murmured to her friend and after five unobstructed seconds of staring decided to look over a selection of fudge to not seem too obvious. She then hipchecked Lil in her own subtle way of saying "get going" whilst attempting to find the perfect spot to snoop.

It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday
I'm in love

spaceAs soon as the specimen they'd come to observe made an appearance, Lil's attention zeroed in on him. She clicked her tongue and crossed her arms, eyes narrowing as she looked him over. She wasn't subtle about it, either. "No man has any business being that pretty," she declared, her statement seeming loud compared to her friend's whispering. In the near-silence of the mostly-empty shop, it was almost impossible she hadn't been heard. "Not unless he's on a runway under a ton of makeup." She gave a definitive sniff, as if that punctuated her statement and made it some kind of universal law.

spaceHe couldn't be wearing makeup, she figured, because those freckles were real. She would know. She knew everything about makeup and all the ways it was used, and those were all-natural. Which meant he legitimately was that attractive... ugh. She glanced over at Puck. Slightly quieter, this time, she asked, "Are you sure he's not gay?" Because that would be her luck. She remembered Jojo joking on more than one occasion that she had some gay-magnet curse where every man she met was also attracted to men. Of course, she had a husband, but Kenny was apparently bisexual so he 'still counted,' according to the older woman. Lil wondered if such a curse could be transmitted via proximity. She knew a significant portion of her problem was that there were a lot of gay men in fashion, but still.

spaceLil pursed her lips, head tilting to the side as she considered her angle of attack. Which was silly, since 'straight ahead' was the only angle she ever bothered with. She didn't have time or patience for games with boys. Head up, chest out, she approached the guy without even waiting for her friend to reply, waiting until he wasn't in danger of injuring himself or dropping something before firmly tapping his shoulder with two fingers. "Excuse me," she chirped. "Hi, I'm Lil. Question, do you know what a phone is? Follow up question, do you have one? Follow follow up question, will it be a waste of paper, ink, and time, for me to give you the number to mine?" She was giving him her most blinding smile, knowing she was coming on strong but not particularly caring. Either he would shoot her cleavage a glance and drool a little before consenting to interacting with her at a later date (either via phone or some other, more magical means), or he'd politely reject her, she figured. Men who were intimidated by her tended to be polite in their rejections, after all. Mind, if he did turn her down, she'd probably stick around a little longer to sigh dramatically and ogle him from afar. But it wasn't like she wouldn't buy some candy, so it was a fair trade, she figured.

spaceLil's eyebrows arched at his sarcastic tone, her smile transforming into a smirk. Oh, sure, if he wanted to be a jerk about it. He was lucky he was cute. And that accent! Unexpected. She was used to hearing all sorts of accents, of course, but American wasn't one of the more common ones in her line of work. She hadn't gotten to go on any trips to New York or anything like that. Though, his accent was definitely not one of those. She wondered where he was from. And what the hell he was doing here.

space"Rude!" she declared, tone playful. "No need for the snark, mate, I'm just covering all my bases." She crossed her arms and sniffed, not dropping the smirk. "I've been popping in and out of Diagon Alley for, what, like, ten years, and if you've got a more efficient way of determining the best way to figure out if someone has a phone than just flat-out asking, please share. Because I got my fill of confused expressions and "I don't have a phone"s and "oh like what muggles use?" within the first six months." That was an exaggeration, probably, since she hadn't actually started spending much time in Diagon until she'd been living with Jojo and Kenny for a couple years, and hadn't really earnestly started approaching boys for a couple after that. But he didn't need to know that.

spaceStill, he hadn't outright rejected her. She couldn't tell, though, if he was just humoring her because he was somehow offended at the implication he might not conceivably have information she had no way of knowing if he would have, or flirting by way of playful teasing. She dug in her purse for a business card, and scribbled her personal number on the back. Normally, she had blank cards for her number, but she'd misplaced the most recent pack. She used to just have cards with her number printed on them specifically for giving to boys, but there'd been a few mix ups with her professional cards, plus apparently it "sent the wrong message." She held the card out to him. "For the record," she said, snatching it back for effect, "I'm not sure I trust your tone, Mr. Sarcasm, so if you're going to call me at all, I'd do it sooner rather than later. Not for nothing, you're super cute and all, but I'm too busy to sit around hoping to hear from strangers I gave my number too." No sooner had she said it than she wondered if she'd made herself sound like a total slut. Not that she believed in slut-shaming, and she wasn't a tease by any means. But she'd meant busy with work, and life in general. Not other boys. Oh, well. She held the card back out to him, figuring if she'd said something that turned him off to the idea of contacting her, he'd say so. And she'd meant it anyway; once the card was in his hand she wasn't about to waste time worrying about whether or not he'd actually call.

spaceHaving worked in the fashion industry for several years, and having been interested in it for years before that, Lil was the first to tell you that a gaydar was nothing more than the ability to pick up context clues. Clues which you could not pick up, if you did not recognize them, which is why pretty much gay people and people who were constantly surrounded by them had a good one. Lil had certainly had been around magical types enough to recognize when she was looking at someone magical while trolling around muggle London, but she was pretty sure beyond that, she was screwed. "Not a muggleborn," she said with a shrug. "Just a plain muggle. So I've got the reverse, magic-dar. I can tell when the person in front of me in the Starbucks line is a wizard, usually. But hell if I can tell you anything beyond that. I just get vague 'that person's probably carrying a wand' tinglies. Can't go all Sherlock Holmes about it."

spaceShe hoped her being non-magical wasn't a dealbreaker for the guy. She knew, in a vague, cursory way, that there were magical people who didn't date muggles. But she was pretty sure(?) those were usually the old school 'pureblood' types. She guessed she could understand not wanting to involve yourself in some complicated game of secret-keeping with your in-laws, but a, she was pretty sure next to no one was following those laws, and b, her whole family was magic, anyway. So, unless someone was just a magic-loving, superior complex-having jackarse, she should still be a viable option for dating. Probably. Her personality notwithstanding.

spaceShe grinned when Galen confirmed he'd actually call, deciding to take him at face-value. The commentary on magical methods of communication left her wrinkling her nose and rolling her eyes. "Right? I mean, the owl thing is cool and all, and I've seen a couple floo calls, pretty neat, but like, it's so much work? You'd think someone would've come up with a magical equivalent to texting by now. Like, what year is it, am I right?" She giggled. Wasn't magic supposed to make things easier? She'd yet to see a single instance of that being the case... well, except housework. She was super grateful for housework spells. Sometimes Jojo said she thought she'd made Lil lazy by not forcing her to clean things in her teens, but Lil was pretty sure that just freed up her time for pursuing her actual passions. It'd certainly given her an edge on her classmates in Uni.

Gryffindor Fifth Year ❆ Team Chaser
Fifteen Year Old ❆ Half-blood ❆ Adopted

Location : Sweet Shop


Max was happy that summer had arrived. As much as he loved school and Quidditch, he also loved free time and no classes. Course that left a lot of time he had to fill with something. Usually that was sleeping (like most teenaged boys do over summer break) or tending to plants (because why not). Though sometimes he just needed to get out of the house and have some fun with friends.

He had the whole summer to ignore the fact that he had exams to worry about. Unlike his friend Eion who had already dealt with them. Luckily if Eion could do it Max could then too, or he’d like to think so. For today however, he planned on forgoing the stresses of things to come and have some fun with his friend. They were meeting at the candy shop because Max was craving sweets in the worst way.

Max found himself standing outside the candy shop to be more then he could handle. Walking into the shop, he was happy to be out of the house. Course now came the big problem of what candy he actually wanted. It was a dilemma that would keep him busy until Eion joined him. Which, he knew wouldn’t take to long at all.
