Relaxation? ((Ariane))

[kris]

The line inched forward ever so slowly. It was a slow day. The sun was blazing- but it wasn’t bothering Kris, his eyes were hidden behind a pair of his sunglasses- one pair out of many. He stood in line at the coffee and tea shop in Diagon Alley, debating mentally with himself- whether or not to leave the everlasting line and go to the ice-cream parlour- although he was going through some rather bad coffee withdrawals. His better side won, and he stayed in spot for another five minutes. The line had moved two inches in that five minutes. The sun was starting to take its toll on Kris, and that plus the line was making him rather irritated.

There were only a few more people in front of Kris, and at that moment he was ready to curse them in any way possible. But his wand stayed safely tucked away in his sleeve- which was specially made to keep his wand hidden. Kris had specially made sleeves that had a pocket in them so he could keep his wand hidden- with a flick of his wrist his wand would appear in his hand; just in case he was ever caught in a tough situation. Not that he would be.

The line moved forward, and soon there was only one person in front of Kris. But this person was taking their sweet little time to order their coffee. Kris took this opportunity to think about upcoming events. There was that date he had on Friday in Hogsmeade, at the Inferno with that girl- what was her name? Jennifer?- at six. And he was sure there was another thing, but he couldn’t think of anything at the moment. The person finally ordered their coffee (which happened to be absolutely nothing. The person had decided to get ice-cream instead.), and Kris stepped up to order. If that person had stayed any longer he would have cursed them. “Mocha frappucino.” He said rather coldly, he was in no mood for “please” and “thank you”s. Setting down the amount due on the counter he picked up the coffee and headed back out into Diagon Alley.

Kris pulled out a seat at an umbrella covered table, placed his sunglasses on the collar of his silk shirt, and opened the paper-back copy of The Five People You Meet In Heaven. He had hoped this day would be about relaxation- but his hopes had been demolished when he caught sight of a familiar face. It was the face of none other, Ariane. Kris sighed and continued to read, slightly hoping she didn’t notice him.
He wouldn’t mind her company, but he would like to read a few chapters of his book. Knowing that either way, Ariane would notice him or he would call her over- he put his book away and waited.

Ariane stomped around the manor in rage. Where in the bloody hell was that driver? She was supposed to be in Diagon Ally an hour ago. Stomping her foot hard on the ground Ariane continued to pace around the living room trying hard not to break anything. Her parents were both working and left their daughter money to spend on what ever she liked in Diagon Ally. Ariane was really in the mood to buy some jewelry or something worth her money. “I could get to Diagon Alley faster on my Firebolt than waiting for this bloody driver, but those filthy muggles would notice. They should all die and disappear.” she sneered under her breath while taking a seat in a cushion chair by the window. Pulling the white lace curtains back Ariane starred down the long circling driveway sitting, waiting, for that stupid driver to pull by.

Ten minutes have passed and Ariane got even more inpatient. That driver was now an hour and twenty minutes late. Clutching her fist she yanked back the lace curtain almost ripping it in the process. "Where in the bloody hell is he." she whispered harshly not realizing that a small Ball of fluff was laying in her lap. Delilah was only just a couple months old and all black and was quite protective of her owner. Petting the top of kittens head Ariane looked back towards the street and noticed the driver come up long winding drive way and stopped a few feet from the door. Setting Delilah back down on the ground, Ariane smoothed out her ankle length green silk shirt. She was only eleven but had a fashion sense of a lady.

Sticking her nose in the air Ariane walked out of the manor and sent a glare to wards the driver. "My apologies me lady.....Traf..." he tried to say but Ariane interrupted him, "How dare you make me late! You just took an hour off of my shopping time! Open the door and head to the Leaky Cauldron before I do something I really would not regret." The older man looked scared and opened the door. Ariane took a seat on the leather seat while looking straight ahead not facing the driver. He closed the door and than she felt the car move forward and out into the muggle world.

The car strolled along through the muggle part of London. Those filthy people were walking and some were poor and begging for money. Ariane never really liked to look out the window if she was driving towards the Leaky Cauldron. All those muggles made her mad. Why couldn't purebloods be the best and dominate the muggle world as well as rule over mudbloods and half bloods? Who on right minds would marry a muggle anyway? They most of been drunk or stupidity took over them. Snickering to herself the car had stopped and the driver opened the door for her to get out. "Here we are miss. The Leaky Cauldron..." he said helping her out. Araine's face was angry and turned red. "You think you could just forget about making me late?! Making me wait for the longest time because you couldn't hurry your little butt to the manor. If I wasn't a under-aged witch I could do the unthinkable to you. But now I don't want to be kicked out of Hogwarts before even entering the castle doors." Araine hissed at the man stomped away. Halting before the door she looked back at driver and hissed once more, "Your fired!" and walked into the pub still angry.

Taking a deep breath Araine straighted her shoulder as she walked farther into the pub not even looking around. This place was so dirty and she didn't want to get any dust or food stains on her silk white blouse. "'Ello Miss Dianne!" said an old worn out looking witch in the corner of the room. Sticking her nose in the air Ariane ignored the older womens greeting and walked towards the brick wall. Taking out her prized wand she tapped the correct bricks and watched it open reveling the busy and crowded streets of Diagon Ally. Many witches and wizards were crowding the streets and younger children were ruining around playing some sort of game Ariane didn't care about. Walking into the streets she looked all around at the shops looking for one that sold jewelry. The sun was beating down on her making her blond hair shine in the sun. Mummy always told her she looked like an angel. Ariane had always agreed too.

Continuing to walk down a few more moments Araine found just the prefect place with shinning jewelry glowing inside. Opening the door to the shop she steeped inside admiring all the great pieces of jewelry. Some diamond necklaces were in the glass and tons of rings of all different stones shined under the light. But Ariane wasn't one who was found of Diamonds. No...That just wasn't her. Walking farther into the shop she peered through the glass and saw the most beautiful emerald necklace sitting there waiting for her. Ariane's eyes twinkled from the light of the rock and never took her eyes off it as a witch went up to the counter and saw her staring. "Aw...I see you have an expensive taste in your accessories." she told her taking out the necklace and handing it over towards Araine. "I have the money and I can spend on what ever I wish." she told the witch taking the necklace greedily and putting on. It looks so beautiful on her! Admiring herself in the mirror she handed the witch some money and took off the necklace watching her carefully wrapped i up in a box with a ribbon tied on. Taking the package from the cashier she left the store without even saying 'Thank You'.

Carrying the package in her hands Ariane stilled looked around for a place to eat. She haven't gotten anything to eat since early this morning. Maybe some ice cream could cover her appetite or maybe a salad. Well something that is neat and pleases her. Tucking a strand of blond hair behind her ears she let a little smile come to her face no one other than Kris Graas. He was like a older brother Ariane couldn't dream of having. Running towards the table she sat down next to him and gave him a hug. "Krissy! I haven't seen you in a while! Wheres Dana I want to show her my new necklace I just bought. It's all in Slytherin colors the way I like it." Araine said setting her package on the table and waiting for Kris to reply.
