Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Year 5

First Date Part 1

"Are you sure this is a good idea?"

With the fact that the last day of school (well, the day before the Hogwarts Express came to take them home for summer) was on Saturday, most of the school (save for the poor first and second years) were planning huge parties and shopping sprees at the village for the day. Dani wasn't exactly sure what she wanted to do on the day, but something that WAS on her mind was Barnaby. Romantic feelings aside, Barnaby was really someone Dani wanted on her side when she needed. But she had no idea why she made the decision to tell Charlie, who gave her the most absurd, and yet practical solution to Dani's problem she didn't even consider a problem: a date.

"Of COURSE it's a good idea, do you have any idea just how many Hogwarts students have done this sort of thing?"

"And in Zonko's, no less."

"What did you expect, the Care of Magical Creatures grove or the forbidden forest?"

"The forbidden forest would be nice."

"Nah, too dangerous beyond an occasional nighttime excursion."

"How's the Three Broomsticks then? At least there will be seats."

"What about Bill's farewell party?"

"Dude, enough people would be there anyways."

"Dani, this is your first date, right? We need to do it-"

"DID SOMEONE SAY DATE?!"

Tonks sauntered up to Charlie and Dani. "I KNEW IT! Can I help with the planning and stuff? I know a nice tea place around here!"

"Where?"

"Follow me!"

Several minutes later, at Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop...

"A perfect date spot if I ever saw one."

Dani shook her head. "It isn't nearly as loud as the Three Broomsticks..."

"We're not quite open yet, m'dears."

The students turned to see Madam Puddifoot, the small, dark-haired lady who owned the shop, standing in the doorway.

"Though it's almost time. It's normally parties of two here but I can squeeze you three in. Would you like a spot of tea?"

"Nah, we were just passing through," said Dani.

"That's alright, most kids your age prefer butterbeer. Anyway, I've got a pot of chamomile tea on the stove to check on. Feel free to explore."

"Did you hear that?!" said Tonks as Madam Puddifoot disappeared down the corridor to the kitchen. "Parties of two! I told you this was a great date spot!"

"It reminds me a bit too much of Mum's kitchen," said Charlie, looking at the cupboards. "But if the owner herself says that it's a good date place, then I wouldn't disagree."

Dani looked around again. "I guess this place will have to do."
