"Hey, Ab," said Amanda, waving at the man before sitting down at one of the tables in the corner.
"Hello, Amanda. Butterbeer or firewhiskey?" Aberforth Dumbledore smiled at the former Ravenclaw. When Amanda was in Hogwarts, she took a job at Hog's Head to support herself. She didn't have her parents anymore and she couldn't rely on the Blacks' money, especially since she thought Sirius was a murderer during that time.
"Just Butterbeer please, I've got a night shift later," said Amanda cheerfully.
"It's been 5 years since you've become an Auror, eh?" Aberforth set down the tankard in front of her. "You've grown so much, Ada. I still think of you as the thirteen-year old Ravenclaw, who got down on her knees and begged me for a job."
"Things did change lots, Ab," chuckled Amanda. "So have you. I dare say Merlin's beard can't even compare to yours." Aberforth laughed loudly, attracting the attention of the others in the pub and making Amanda blush at their looks.
"I'll leave you to it." Aberforth went back to his spot behind the bar, and Amanda took out Pride and Prejudice she had inside her coat and started reading from where she left off. It was just brilliant with the initial prejudice of Elizabeth Bennet and the pride of Fitzwilliam Darcy. It was Amanda's favorite novel, and she wouldn't get tired of it no matter how many times she read it. Amanda was just about to get to Darcy's proposal to Elizabeth when someone grabbed the book from her.
"Hey! Darcy was just about to propose!" Amanda said lowly, glaring at the three people behind her.
"You came here to eat," said Eliza, rolling her eyes. "You didn't even notice us coming and ordering your food, did you?"
Amanda was about to say something before she looked down and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry." Eliza, George and Jason MacCabe just laughed before sitting down beside her and starting to eat while catching up on what had been happening in their lives. They were a group of five, now four. Amanda, Eliza, Fred, George and Jason. All of them were in the same year, the three Ravenclaws kept the Weasley twins on their feet.
"So, Amanda," started Eliza slowly after George and Jason nodded at her. "Is there something you want to tell us?"
"Nothing," said Amanda a little too quickly.
"Then, what did I see in the Grocer's yesterday?" Eliza demanded, her voice growing louder.
"Quiet down," Amanda whispered because people were starting to look at her again. She may have grown a little out of her shell, but that side of her was reserved only during Auror duties and for her family and friends.
