Lucie sat down in the three broomsticks, she hadn't been in there since Ian's death, she ordered a butterbeer and started to drink it, she wondered... would everything be okay? ... was she in danger of anything? ... did Laitia tell Voldemort she wanted her killed? ... would Ian show up again as a ghost? ... is hogwarts in danger? ... Thoughts raced through her head, she wanted to know everything was going perfectly... but it wasn't, Ian wasn't there. When Ian and her met, she planned their future, how many children they'd have, where they'd live, what would they do... She sipped her bottle of butterbeer again and scratched her head, once she had put the bottle down, a little grey and black cat popped on her lap ''Ooo'' She said quickly, surprised by the cat's actions. She stared at it and lifted it up, it was a girl with no coller on. It must be a stray... she thought and popped it on the table. It just slumped down as if it had no strength ''Aw, poor thing'' She said stroking its head.

Dana walked slowly into the three broomsticks, she'd just been quidditch practice and was so tired, she ordered a butterbeer, and looked for a place to sit, but there was none. She saw a girl with a cat on the table, she walked over to her ''Excuse me, mind if i sit here?'' She asked politley.

''Oh yeah, sure'' Lucie said stroking the kitten ''I've seen you around, are you one of Elle's mates?'' She asked.

Zander walked into the Three Broomsticks. He needed a drink, something to just calm him down. He'd been walking around most of the day, and he was feeling more lost than ever. Greyback was probably wondering where he was, but he didn't care. He was free to walk around as he pleased and he wasn't going to let Greyback take that away from him. He'd go back, as he was supposed to, but he just couldn't stay cooped up any longer. "I'll have a firewhiskey," he said to the woman at the bar. When she handed him the drink, he dropped a couple of galleons on the counter and went to sit in the corner. He was surprised to see Lucie sitting a few tables away, talking to another girl. He decided not to say anything, and instead, he kept his head down while he sipped his drink.

Lucie looked at the man who just came in, she recognised him as Zander, but realised he didn't want to be seen, so she continued to talk to Dana.

Lucie smiled ''Yeah, i know, she's been staying with me for a while, just while her mind goes back to normal'' She said ''But you can see her anytime, she'll be around'' She said smiling.

''Cool'' Dana said smiling, her eyes focused on the cat ''Nice cat'' She said.

Zander found himself staring at Lucie. He didn't want to seem creepy, but somehow he couldn't take his eyes off of her. He wished things had gone differently, that he wasn't a werewolf and Ian wasn't dead. Then Lucie could have been his sister-in-law... Instead, he wasn't even part of his own family, and Ian was gone and Lucie was alone. He took another drink of his firewhiskey.

Lucie smiled at Dana and saw Zander looking at her, she gave him a smile and then turned back to Dana.

Zander noticed Lucie smiling at him for a second, and for a quick second, he forgot everything else that was going on and smiled back at her. But then the moment was gone and his miserable reality crashed back down on him. He sighed and buried his face in his hands. This was stupid. Greyback was right, he should just go back to the headquarters with his own kind... He finished up his drink and got up. Only, instead of leaving, he abruptly decided to get another drink. He walked up to the bar and ordered another firewhiskey.

Lucie noticed the weird behaviour of Zander around her ''Uh, Dana, ill catch up with you later, go and see Elle, give this to her'' She said handing Dana the cat, she walked over to Zander and leaned on the bar ''Make that two firewhiskey's'' She said.

Zander heard Lucie's voice next to him and jumped slightly. As the woman placed two glasses of firewhiskey on the bar, he turned to face Lucie. "Um, hey, Lucie," he said, trying to sound casual. "I swear, I wasn't stalking you or anything... I just needed a drink to relax. So, um... how are you doing today?" Man, that sounded stupid, he thought angrily to himself.

Zander shrugged and took another sip from his glass. "Not great," he admitted. "I've been kind of lost, I guess, ever since I blew my chance to become an Auror. See, I was on a test mission with this older guy and we were watching a suspected Death Eater. But he found out we were watching him and he turned it around on us. He and a couple of his friends attacked, and I... I freaked out and ran away. Like a wimp. My partner stayed and got killed. So they threw me out." He didn't add that when he had run away, he hadn't been free... instead he'd been attacked and bitten by Greyback. "So yeah, between that and Ian's death... I guess I'm kind of lost." He took another sip and avoided Lucie's eyes.

Lucie nodded ''My older sister is an auror'' She replied ''I've not seen her for ages, mind you, she normally hangs about in this pub, so for all i know, she could be here now'' She said sipping her firewiskey.

It felt a little weird to be having a normal conversation, but he was glad to get the focus off of himself. "Well, you said you were an Auror, right? But you're still in school. Have you been on any training missions yet?" He smiled slightly. "I bet you'll be good at it."

Carrie stepped into the three broomsticks, she pulled her hood down and went to the bar, she ordered a firewiskey and turned around. She saw Lucie, her mouth opened a little, then she covered her face and sat down at the table furthest away.
