Alyssa walked into Weasley Wizarding Wheezes, it was one of her favorite stores in Diagon Alley. She especially loved the sweets you could eat to make you sick, and then eat another as a antidote. She walked down the aisles looking up and down for some, but the seemed to be out. Typicall. she thougt, it was one of their best sellers. She found some pygme puffs, she had always wanted one. She bought one, because she loved them, and they were the cutest little things.
She kept searching the aisles for the candy she loved but couldn't find any. She finally found a telescope that punched you in the eye when you put it up to your eye. She grabbed a couple of them, because they were always fun. She finally found a box of the candies, so she grabbed it while it was still their. Ha! she thought now know one else can have them. She continued looking through the aisles of stuff. |

Gabriel loved everything about this shop....it all just amazed him when he sat down and thought about them, comparing them to their muggle counterparts back home. He couldn't get enough of the wizarding world, save for the dark parts of it, and like so many other muggle borns, he especially enjoyed the unsupervised times alone in Diagon Alley. He sometimes wondered how the wizarding world could hide itself so well, I mean, come one, that's a lot of muggle eyes to be hiding from now.
Gabe strolled up and down the aisles, looking the odd candies over, smiling as he watched the younger kids bounce here and there, grabbing up handfuls of their favorite forbidden fruits. This of course was when he had to stop and laugh a bit more, for he just caught sight of a girl about his age acting just like the younger ones. It was sort of funny and while Gabriel had been known to act immature from time to time, it was still funny. There were far too many serious attitudes back at school and to find someone who shared a bit of the innocence that Gabriel himself had, well...it was just a nice change of scenery.
His smile growing just a bit, Gabe quickly took off up the next aisle so as to get behind the girl. As he rounded the corner, he eyed his new found friend for the day. "Excuse me miss," he said seriously, clearing his throat a little, "but do you plan to leave any for the other children?," he asked, breaking out into a smile, hoping she wouldn't take him too seriously.

She kept on walking through the aisels looking at all the fun jokes. She found some peruvian darkness powder, which really surprised her, they were usually sold out, for the aurors were usually buying loads of it. She grabbed one, because it's always fun to have a little darkness.
Some guy came up behind her and asked her some stuff. "Oh, mabey just a little." she said with a laugh. As she continued walking, she waited to see if he followed her and he didn't so she turned around and headed back again. "What are you looking for?" she asked.
As she was standing their she felt as though she knew the guy, but couldn't remember where from. "Do I know you?" she asked curiously. "You just seem really familliar, and I don't remember where I saw you." she said hoping he'd answer. [/color][/size] |

Gabriel, as always, found Alyssa's ignorance of who he was funny, seeing as how he couldn't really recall her name either. He knew her face and knew she was a Hufflepuff but for the life of him just couldn't put a name with it. Gabe often had that problem, he was horrible with names, hence why he usually gave everyone a nickname, those for some reason just stuck better, probably because he chose something easy to remember and something that fit that person the best.
"Gabriel....Sutherland," he said, giving a slight pause between his first and last name, "We're both in the same house at school," he said as he offered Alyssa his and in a casual manner. Gabe always tried to put forth a good attitude when greeting or meeting someone and while this greeting might have been casual, it didn't mean he wasn't capable of greeting people the correct way, it was just that certain situations called for different greetings. It wasn't as if he thought any less of Alyssa, it was just more of a relaxed setting and going all formal just wasn't kosher.
Gabriel watched Alyssa as he waited for her hand, studying her, finding a general good natured appearance about her. She seemed like him in a way, good humor and somewhat immature, foolishness to some people, but an ideal attitude to Gabe. Going through life all stuck up and up tight wasn't really any fun, after all, you missed out on all the good parts that way. Just letting go of your worries and throwing caution to the wind was everything one needed sometimes to really put things into perspective.

Alyssa lauged in spite of herself, she always asked people who they were, even when she knew who they were. She stared at him with a little smile, the boy was Gabriel Sutherland, they were both going into their seventh year in Hufflepuff. There paths often crossed at school, may it be studying, or having some good old fashion fun.
"Hey Gaberiel!" she said grabbing his hand, and shaking it. Well as you should know I'm Alyssa, Alyssa Jefferson." she said with a smile. "So what brings you to this store in Diagon Alley?" she asked with a humongus grin. She knew pretty d**n well why he was here, they were both always looking for a good laugh, so anytime they could get to a joke shop they took it.
She studied him, just as he had studied her. He was very fit, not to mention cute. Alyssa had always had a hidden, yet obviouse crush on him at the same time. It was hidden from him, but obviouse to everyone else. "So," she said starting a subject "how has your summer break been?" |

The name clicked into place now as Gabe's brain finally fired off a few electrical impulses and jump started his memory. He smiled and laughed at himself for being such a nit wit for not remembering someone like Alyssa. Being prefect, he should have known the name and face of everyone in his own house, but sometimes, he just sort of got side tracked. "Just out and about for a few things, running low on my secret stash of that sugary goodness," he replied as he slipped his hands into his pockets now, looking at the selection of stuff Alyssa had picked up from here and there in the store. She had quite the collection of contraband and while normally it was Gabe's job to discourage such things like that, well...he wasn't at school so being a prefect was the last of things to be for today.
"Summer's been pretty good. Spent some time abroad in the States, visited some friends of my parents....the usual," he went on, making some small talk. "How about yours? Anything exciting happen?," he asked her, side stepping a young boy as he came dashing around the corner of the aisle, barely missing Gabe by a few inches. "Guess I'm not the only one stocking up before school starts back officially," he laughed, shaking his head as the young boy then proceeded to harass a young girl for the last box of chocolate frogs.

"Not really." she said. "I did visit Italy for a little bit, but that's a long story on that one." she said. They had went to Italy, but it was for her cousins wedding, and it was the most hilarious vacation she had ever had. "How was the states?" she asked sincerely.She had visited the states a few times when she was little, but only to see her grandparetns, and other relatives, but then they all moved back to Italy, France, and Germany, pretty much where everyone came from.
"Well there's nothing like the thrill of sneaking in a box of Weasley Wizarding Wheezes gags into the school." she said with a laugh. She had tried it a ton of times, and she rarely ever got away with it. Everyone at school couldn't deny that they all at least once hadn't tried to sneak in a gag or two from the Weasley shop. "Well I'm looking forward to a new school year." she said. "How about you, are you ready for are last year at Hogwarts to start?" she asked him. |

Italy was someplace Gabe had never been oddly enough, although he had been to several other European countries. The States however, were the biggest travel destination for Gabe and his family. His father performed quite a bit in Las Vegas, one of the most popular cities across the ocean, or so that was what his mother had said. Gabe just knew there was music and parties almost all day and night there, the perfect backdrop for someone like himself.
"The States were good, mostly just the same old stuff," he said, slipping his hands into his pockets as he glanced down at the ground. "And yeah, glad its the last year. I've been wanting to get out and see some other things, learn something knew," he said looking back up, still smiling. Gabe was anxious to learn more about the wizarding world first hand instead of through a stuffy old book. "What about you? Anxious or depressed?," he asked her, knowing some of his friends were a bit upset about graduating. Something about leaving younger friends behind and losing the ones you had, after all, everyone was heading in different directions.

"What same old stuff?" Alyssa asked curiosly. Alyss had never been to the states herself, though she always wanted to. Alyssa wanted to learn new things about the wizading world, but her parents might think it's not the best thing. "What new stuff would you like to learn about?" She asked.
"Oh, a little bit of both." She said replying to his question. "Anixious because it's done and over, and I can't wait to get out into the wizarding world." She said. She was more anxious because she finally wouldn't have to live under her parents rules anymore. "Depressed, because the school is my second home, a place where I can be myself." she said. "What about you?" she asked. |
