The day was overcast, just like Hayley's mood. It was rainy, windy, cold, it was almost like the dementors were near. She was angry, bored, uninterested in everything. All she wanted to do on days like this one was to sleep, all day. She would probably slept through this day too, if she hasn't received a letter.
She was just preparing to lie down, turn on some movie or just music and do nothing, when unknown owl landed on her window. She would continue to ignore the owl, but he (or she) was unstoppable. After few minutes of knocking on the window, Hayley sullenly got up, opening the window.
She took the letter watching owl flying away. She opened it curiously, thinking it's frome one of her cousins. It wasn't, but she was surprised anyway. It was from her Hogwarts friend Dom Weasley, the one of the few she stayed in contact with, after leaving England.
Turns out she was in London too, and if the letter was right, they were supposed to meet in Diagon Alley at Sparks Bistro & Bakery, in twenty minutes. Lucky for both of them, she had a floo powder.
Hayley was spending her time in Sebastian's apartment in London. She was there few days before she decided to visit her house in Manchester. She wasn't planning on going to London any time soon, but she had floo powder for any case.
Hayley wasn't the kind of girl who was preparing for hours. She changed her clothes, brushed her hair, took all she needed, and she was ready in ten minutes. She found a box with floo powder, took a little in her hand and the rest she put in her bag.
After she stood in fireplace, she toss a handful of powder into a fireplace and loudly and clearly said "Sparks Bistro & Bakery". The flames turned green and in the next moment, she was there.

The restaurant was big, bright, full of people. They were all sitting inside, since it was a chaos outside. While she was watching the rain, she sighed sadly, she was missing warm weather, sun, sea...Australia.
This was her first time in here, since she got back she was eating at home. Hayley looked around, searching for blonde girl but there wasn't one. Well there was, but they were all with someone already. Concluding that she hasn't came yet, Hayley sat down for one of the tables.
