It's starting to look a bit like spring!

Sophia had just gotten out of the ice skating rink that just put in Hogsmeade not to long ago, and to be honest she was glad they did. It sure added to the place and gave the students more stuff to do. Not that Hogsmeade lack in fun stuff to do, but at lease the students didn't have to skate on the lake anymore and bother the giant squid. Deciding Sophia needed a little warm up she headed towards the three broomsticks for a nice butterbeer. As she walked through the crowded street of Hogsmeade she smiled as she seen some students walking around the village with their friends just hanging out.

Sophia missed going to Hogsmeade with her friends not having a care in the world just having fun. As she reached the three broomsticks she pushed the door opened as the bell tinkled above her head. As she looked around the crowded place she looked for a place to sit but sighed as she didn't see one. As she went towards the bar she gave a bar tender a soft warm smile. "May I have a butterbeer please?"Sophia asked him softly. "Sure thing."said the bartender getting her a butterbeer as Sophia got her money out and set it on the counter.

"Keep the rest as a tip."said Sophia softly as she winked at him and took her drink and took a sip of it as she looked around once again for a spot. As she seen a table by the window she smiled and hurried over before it was taken. Going through the maze of people not really watching where she was going she bumped into someone. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry are you ok?"Sophia asked as she brushed her curly brown hair out of her eyes.

Marcus decided to got to the Three Broomsticks. He came there oftenly, being that it was one of his favorite places. It was probably because he got cold so often. The warm environment warmed him up quickly. He had developed a cold and was wiping his nose every two minutes. As he entered the pub, the warm air surrounded him and he walked to the counter.

"A butterbeer," he said to the bartender with a congested voice.

"Coming right up," she said happily.

The staff a the Three Broomsticks were always friendly. Maybe it was in their nature or the manager probably threatened to jinx them if they weren't.

As he grabbed his goblet and his coaster, he walked over to an empty booth. Just as he was about the reach the table, he collided with another woman about his age, also having butterbeer. His cup splashed onto him and he was soaked.

"It's okay. I'm fine," he said to the woman.

Sophia sighed in relief when he said that he was ok. "Oh thank goodness, I would feel horrible if I hurt you."said Sophia softly. "Oh so rude of me I'm Sophia, Sophia Granger."said Sophia sticking out her hand for him to shake. Sophia noticed when he talked to her that he sounded alittle stopped up. " Sorry for being so nosey, but you sound alittle stopped up."said Sophia softly. "Pehaps I can help, after all I am a healer."said Sophia as if it wasn't nothing major. "I know this weather been getting to everyone, we have people coming in like crazy because of it."said Sophia shaking her head.

She would be glad when spring came around the corner but then again, people would also be coming in as well due to allergies. It always happend during the spring time but Sophia didn't mind it was all part of her job she had to do. It seemed like Winter and the Spring time was the worse part of the year for that was the time everyone gotten sick. Sophia also experience a cold not to long ago but her working at St.Mungo's she could take care of herself to some medience at anytime. That was the good thing about working there, Sophia knew she probably had to get from a patient or somewhere but she was over it now and that all it mattered.
