Sitting outside

Hester glanced at her watch.

"We've been sitting here for ages!" she exclaimed. She hadn't realised how quickly the time had gone by. Not that she really wanted to move from this spot. She didn't want to go home and face her parents and there was nowhere else to go now she'd got her supplies. Window shopping maybe. Yeah. That was about it.

Lavender was down to the cone of her ice cream now, watching Hester as thoughts whired through her mind. She could almost hear the cogs turning. What were they to do once they'd finished here? Maybe Lavender could take Hester out somewhere.

"What do you fancy doing when we're done here?" The question was more directed at Hester of course, but Lavender didn't want James to feel left out.

"I don't know," Hester said honestly. She was pretty tired, but she didn't really want to go home yet. She wondered if there were any other places they could visit in Diagon Alley.

She looked at James. "Wanna go somewhere else?" she asked him.

She looked back at Lavender. "You got any ideas?" she asked.

Lavender eyed James carefully, he was very quiet, maybe he didn't want them around. When Hester turned to address her Lavender paused to think for a second.

"Not sure. I'm not being very helpful, sorry." She muttered, planting a small kiss on Hester's shoulder. One eye still on James with uncertainty. Although, if they were bothering him, he could leave. It wasn't their problem.

"Park?" asked Hester. She remembered that there was a park nearby. A really nice park, if she remembered rightly. She'd been there with someone else, someone who had turned out to not be so friendly.
"But it's getting late. Perhaps we could meet up another day?"
She was very tired and wondered whether Lavender felt the same way. But she couldn't tell.

Lavender liked the idea of the park very much, but she didn't want Hester to be out too late. Plus, the red head looked rather tired.

"Sure, another day, you look worn out." Lavender brushed a strand of hair from her girlfriend's face, studying it closely. "Have you done something with your hair? It looks different, possibly even more lovely than usual." A grin spread across her lips as her eyes flickered to Hester's.
