Seeking friends...

Ne'Os walked from his bar to the Leaky Cauldron. It was a short uneventful walk as he was wearing his long dark red robes and had his hood covering most of his face. He sat down and let his hood fall around his shoulders. He ordered a firewhisky and sipped from it. He had a feeling that this would be a interesting day.

The Malfoy family usually stayed at the Leaky Cauldron from time to time during the Summer. Scorpius loved Diagon Alley, it was so much better than staying at his house at Malfoy Manor. It was noon when he waked up today, having stayed awake until morning. Still he had overslept, and it looked like the rest of the family had left to Diagon Alley without him.

Sighing, he went downstairs to get something to eat. He hadn't eaten all night, and it was afternoon now, so he was starving. Sitting at the table next to a hooded man, he ordered breakfast. He ignored the look the person gave him which clearly said 'at this time'? Scorpius really couldn't stand people who didn't mind their own business. Which is odd, considering he never did. Like now, for example, he was curiously staring at the man sitting near him. He recognized the robes, and caught a glimpse of the face under the hood.

"So your seventeen then? Must of missed your birthday," he said to him. He purposefully didn't mention Ne'os' name. If he was hooded, he was hiding from someone. He couldn't hide from him though, Scorpius had been friends with ne'os for six years at Hogwarts and knew him well.
