[ I apologize for my lame post ... I'm trying to push my muse to get back with me .. we're having a disagreement at the moment. ]

Aurora Jameson scanned the area; Diagon Alley was almost deserted today. A couple of people were established on the side of the road, each of them wrapped in layers and layers of clothing; protecting themselves from the winter's devastating weather. A small smirk grew across Aurora's features; she had never been afraid to face the cold - if anything, winter was Miss Jameson's favorite season.

She sauntered gracefully, her black flats hitting the cobblestone floor with each delicate step. She flipped her curled locks over her shoulder, adjusting her black beret to her convenience. If there ever was a time that the young Jameson had not looked flawless , she would surely disappoint herself. Looks mattered; that's all there was to it.

She paused abruptly; spotting a small smudge on the thigh of her snug denim jeans. Aurora scoffed, flawless indeed ... She bent slightly, attempting to rid of the miniscule complication.

And then ... someone had collided right into her - sending Aurora sprawling to the ground; she landed on her rear with a small thump.

Alexa Lestero walked down Diagon Alley. It was really quiet today and that was just plain odd, it was never this deserted in Diagon. She was, once again, out braving the cold. She was determined that once she got to Hogwarts that the cold of Europe would not be a problem. It was really a wander that it wasn't snowing but hey, it was England, very unpredictable.

She walked past Olivanders, taking a quick glance at it. She was just waiting for the day when she would walk through those doors and purchase her very first wand. That, of cause, would mean that she would be of to Hogwarts soon after. That alone was something she had been waiting for almost her whole life.

Suddenly the cold caught up with her and the cool breeze touched her face. It send a shiver down her spine. I need a hot chocolate She decided. Hot chocolates had been her saviour this winter in the Alley. They warmed you up right away, sometimes even burning your tong. She smiled, haven being burt on more than one occasion.

She supposed she'd been lost in her thoughts because the next thing she knew she was on her butt on the cold ground.

"Sorry, I guess I wasn't paying attention,"
