Daniel chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, sorry. I thought you were the waitress," he said admittedly. He was surprise to see her here, they both were the closest of friends since they were only just a kid even before Hogwart if he could remember correctly. It wasn't until they graduated that they started going separate ways. The last time he saw her, she was on her way to Germany to become the youngest Minister of Magic in history. Meanwhile, Daniel was fulfilling his life long goal to become an Auror. Up until now, he hadn't seen her since forever ago.
He chewed thoughtfully on his chicken schnitzel, savouring the flavour of fried chicken dipped in aioli sauce. He paused to talk. "Last time I check, yeah?" he smirked and continued to eat his food. Somehow, he felt like he had some kind of invisible magnet that was attracting the same waitress over and over again.
Just when he is about to tell the waitress off about going near him again. He was interrupted by Christy who sent the waitress away again. He smiled, he knew he could always rely on his best friend. They always been like that when they were young, they always had each others back. If anyone was to hurt them, one of them would step in to help them. If he wept, she wept. If he smiled, she smiled and visa versa. "Is she always like this?" he asked, it seemed that Christy has been here longer than he has.
"What have you been up to lately?"
What was he up to, that was a good question. A part from training vigorously to be an Auror, there wasn't much excitement in his life. "I've recently been assigned a new partner, um... I'm working a new case, regarding the murder of Peter Borden," he leaned in and whispered. "He was poisoned," not getting into the details, it wasn't pretty. He wasn't really suppose to talk about his work as it was confidential, but he trusted her not to tell anyone.
