Interesting meetings (Katie)

Liz smiled brightly as she excited the post-office in Hogsmeade after sending a letter back home, as Liz didn’t have her own owl. There was still some snow, but the wind was already fresh and carried spring, not to mention the first birds being already back and starting to sing. But the main thing that improved Liz’s mood greatly was the sun shining brilliantly enough for Liz having to pull on her sun-glasses so not to be blinded by the sun glinting back from the ice-cover on the streets.

Liz looked around and smiled slowly stepping away from the door and enjoying the weather. Looking around Liz tried to decide which way she should go as she made a circle around a giggling group of Hogwarts students. Third years probably and still crazed with happiness for finally being allowed to come to Hogsmeade Liz decided with a small smile.

Deciding to grab something from Honeydukes, Liz started heading that way and gasped as she suddenly slipped. Gasping loudly Liz hit the ground rather hard and slid down a couple of feet. Liz blushed furiously as she finally stopped and managed to climb to her feet once again. Glancing at her pants Liz sighed – her white pants weren’t that white anymore after the fall and glide. They wer rather a muddy shade of brownish-gray. Liz sighed and casted a short-time illusion charm on her pants, but it didn’t work much, so Liz looked around to find the closest clothes-store to find a pair of new pants or a skirt even as she had also ripped her pant’s leg.

Liz had already walked some steps when she suddenly discovered that she had lost her bag and looked around for it, trying to locate the missing bag.

When she had first heard of this weekend's trip to Hogsmeade, Katie hadn't really planned on going. She would have much rather stayed in her dorm and read all day, but she knew that she needed to become more social . . . that and the fact that she was in desperate need of clothes. It had been ages since Katie had bought new clothes, and she figured that she could buy a few outfits with some of the money she had received for her birthday last month. Most of her family had just sent her money but there was also a book and some jewelry.

Katie had walked through Hogsmeade and picked out the perfect store to buy herself a few cute outfits, and after purchasing she still had a slight bit of money left, so she decided to buy some candy from Honeydukes. Just as Katie was finishing paying she saw right outside the door a girl of about her age slip and fall. Katie grabbed her purchases and walked outside to make sure the girl was alright. She had stood up and started walking without her bag.

Katie picked it up and jogged over to the girl, "Excuse me, but I think you dropped this," Katie handed the girl her bag, noticing the awful state of her pants, "That fall looked to be pretty nasty. Are you alright? And I know a nice clothing store if you wanted a new pair of pants."

Liz was looking around trying to find her bag, when an other girl around her age approached her and handed Liz her bag.
“Thanks,” Liz said with a shy smile, a light rose hue rising to her cheeks, “And even though I don’t mind shopping, then today I don’t as much want new pants, but I need them. I actually liked these pants.”<br>Liz glanced at her pants, but decided it was not worth feeling miserable for: “But I’d be extremely grateful, if you could direct me to some nice store, if you found something awesome there.”<br>
Liz looked at some random display-windows near-by and shook her head: “I think I should get my pants out of the way, before I start hunting for a present to my bro. Sorry, if I’m babbling.”<br>Liz smiled shyly once again – she was almost unnaturally shy, even though she looked good enough and was rather smart as well. Liz didn’t even know herself why she was so shy, considering that all of her family were social and outgoing, but she just was: “I’m Liz. Elizabeth Connely actually, but I prefer Liz.”<br>

Katie smiled, "Nice to meet you Liz. I'm Kaitlyn Robbins, but you can call me Katie. The shop is just right this way," she said gesturing down the cobbled road as she started walking. "They have loads of really cute clothes, so I'm sure you will be able to find something. Actually, I think I saw some pants similar to yours - minus the mud . . . and the rip." She continued to walk down the road with Liz thinking over all that she had said. "Oh my goodness! You know what? My sister's birthday is coming up. I need to get a present for her as well. Is that what you are looking for? A birthday present?"

((Sorry, it's short. I'm not much in a long post mood.))

Liz smiled at Katie and walked next to her towards the store: “It isn’t necessary to ifind something similar, as long as the new pants look nice and fit me. And yes – I’m looking for a birthday present. For my brother actually and I just know he’d appreciate some of the stuff from Zonko’s, but I just want to find something more special as well.”<br>Liz peeked at the shop-window they were passing absent-mindedly: “But I don’t have a clue what he might want. What about you – or you just browsing the stores or do you already know what to get toy our sister? How old will she turn anyway?”<br>Liz asked curiously looking up as they reached some clothe’s store: “Did you mean this palce?”<br>
