freya finds herself on the floor of her kitchen with a cold cup of half drunken tea and a notepad beside her with a list of what she needs to get to make her little home hers. she stands up and pours the cold tea into the sink. she yawns and walks into the bathroom, she gets undressed and gets into the shower.

freya feels the warm water run over her skin and down her head. she washes her hair and washes her face. her shower wakes her up a bit after her last few late nights. all of a sudden she hears knocking coming from her front door. she quickly gets out of the shower and ties a towel around her body. she mutters a charm so the towel doesn't fall down.

she holds onto the cold door knob and turns it to open the door. a gush of cold wind blows into her face and standing there is marlene. her hands are in the pockets of her leather jacket and her wild blonde curls going crazy and blowing all around in the wind.

freya moves out the way to let marlene in before closing the door. marlene's eyes scatter the bare room before meeting freya's eyes again. freya realises she's in just a towel and blushes.

"oh, hi marlene, i didn't know you were coming so, soon," freya says, turning to her bedroom.

"yeah, sorry for not saying when i was coming last night," marlene says.

"umm, i am going to go get changed quickly, it's quite cold," freya laughs softly and walks into her bedroom shutting the door.

freya removes the towel from her body, feeling cold air press against her skin. she opens her drawers and takes out her underwear as she hears the sounds of marlene's boots hitting the floor while looking around freya's little place. she puts on her underwear before opening her drawer again to find an outfit. she picks a off white thin button down with a low frilly collar, a baby blue skirt that has frills on the bottom, she puts on a pair of cream tights and puts on white heels with a block heel with the toe of the shoe black.

freya walks out of her bedroom with her blazer in her hands. it's a lighter blue blazer that has a white check design on it like vintage chanel. as she walks out of the room she mutters a drying charm and her hair dries while marlene watches her. in the other hand she has a blue ribbon. she placed her blazer on the counter and looks at marlene.

"cute place you've got here," marlene says, looking around.

"thanks but it'll look so much better once i am done with it, uhh, do you know how to tie a bow?" freya asks, smiling at her.

"yeah, who doesn't," she says.

"do you mind tying this ribbon in my hair?" freya says.

"yeah, sure," marlene says, taking the ribbon out of freya's hand, feeling her soft skin underneath her fingers.

freya turns around and marlene sections a piece of freya's hair. she feels the soft strands in between her fingers. marlene ties a bow around the section, it's a bit lopsided so, she turns the ribbon and makes each side bigger or smaller depending on what looks better. finally she stops fiddling with the bow and freya stands up.

"thank you," freya smiles at her.

"you're welcome," marlene smiles.

"oh, shit, i left my notepad on the ground," freya says, picking it up.

"do you dress like that everyday?" marlene asks.

"well, yes," freya says.

"are you comfortable?" marlene asks.

"most of the time," freya says.

"i could never," marlene says.

"well, i like dressing this way and i don't really care what anyone says," freya says, sitting on her couch.

marlene sits beside her, "i never said i didn't think you look good, i mean you look amazing, gosh i wish i could look like you," she says.

"oh, well, thanks," freya says, a pink filling her cheeks.

"you say well a lot," marlene says.

"is it annoying, well if it's annoying, oh shit, I mean if it's annoying then i will shut up and stop-" freya rambles before marlene cuts her off.

"fucking hell, it's not annoying, gosh, french girl, it was an observation," marlene says.

"oh, sorry," freya says.

"don't say sorry," marlene says.

"shit, i actually am being annoying," freya says.

"merlin, freya who's got you so like ramble-y, your not being annoying calm down, your fine," marlene says.

"okay, i will try to stop," freya says.

"good girl," marlene says.

"well, we should probably get going, we've got a long day ahead of us," freya says.

"let's go," marlene says.

the two girls exit the house and start to walk. there is a muggle shopping market close to freya's house which is a good thing.

"also can we get some food first, i didn't eat breakfast," freya says, chuckling to herself.

"yes, of course," marlene says.

"we can go to this little cafe i found going for a walk yesterday," freya says, smiling joyfully.

marlene smiles at freya as she watches the happy girl skip down the street. freya twirls around as marlene giggles at her antics. smiles beam across their faces as the two walk around together. they arrive at the cafe. the light pink sign with the light green rim shines under the sunlight. the sign reads 'the friendly croissant'.

"how cute is the name, the friendly croissant," freya smiles, looking at marlene.

marlene smiles at the way she says croissant before entering the little shop. freya is already looking at the options with a big grin on her face. marlene walks over to her, her curls looking crazy from the wind that just swept past before she came in. freya points to the pain au chocolat.

"are you gonna get the chocolate croissant?" marlene asks.

"no, i am getting the pain au chocolat," freya corrects her.

"same thing," marlene says.

"they are different, they both are pastries with chocolate in them but the way the pastry is shaped is the difference," freya says.

"okay french girl," marlene says.

freya orders her pain au chocolat and a coffee before sitting down at a table. marlene ordered a coffee for herself since she had already eaten that day. the two chat while waiting for the waitress to bring over the two coffees and freya's pain au chocolat. freya's smile expands on her face as she picks up a knife and fork and cuts a piece. she puts it in her mouth and smiles while slumping at the delicious taste.

"is it good," marlene says, already knowing the answer by freya's expression.

"yes, do you want a bite?" freya asks.

"fuck yeah," marlene says as freya passes a fork with a chunk of the pain au chocolat on the end of it.

marlene takes the bite of pain au chocolate off the end of the fork with her teeth while looking into freya's eyes. scarlet smears through freya's face as marlene chews on the pastry.

freya quickly finishes her breakfast out of embarrassment and just as fast drinks the rest of her coffee. marlene had already finished her coffee and stands up waiting for freya to pay for her food.

the two girls walk out of the little cafe and walk around the rest of the stores looking for different pieces of furniture and decorations.
