Best Friends

Elizabeth left from her vacation visiting America early with her father Danikin Potter. She just couldn't handle how he was acting by trying to get her to date a boy that isn't Britain like her. What was the big deal with him trying to get his own daughter to date an American man? He did the same thing on the last two summer vacations where they traveled to Russia and France. What is with him? Elizabeth doesn't understand why her father wants her to date but yet she has never had a boyfriend her whole life and has never been kissed. All she wants is to fight death eaters and Voldemort. Maybe he is just trying to protect her from dying at battle at an young age.

Anyway, Elizabeth moved out of her father house after from their America vacation. She wasn't ready to forgive her father but some day she will forgive him. So ever since then, she had been staying in a little apartment in London until she goes to Hogwarts. Even though she does have a half brother name Nick that she doesn't barely see much.

Once again, Elizabeth was there in Hogsmeade. Making her way to The Three Broomsticks for a drink of butterbeer. Once entering, it wasn't crowded yet since it was only 4 in the afternoon but when dinner time there will be more people in. So she took a table by the far end window and took a seat. The waiter came trying to flirt with her but right away she ordered butterbeer to try to get rid of his flirt talks. The drink came and yet the waiter had asked if he could sit in the empty chair but she said, "Don't you have job to do? I would please if you stop bugging me." Finally the waiter said nothing and went back to work by getting drinks order by other customers.

Andrew was pretty frazzled the entire week. He had finally found the one person whom he could spend the rest of his life with, and she decided to sneak out of the apartment and nearly got herself killed. She said that she had to go find some groceries for dinner and had left, leaving Andrew at least a couple of hours before she would try to call or something. He loved Chase, and trusted her fully, but couldn't help but feel helpless at the fact that she had been beaten up so many times, and had not been able to do a damn thing. But she assured him that she would be alright for the evening.

So he decided to head back to Hogsmeade and grab a couple of butterbeers. Honeydukes was pretty much packed, so he decided to head to the Three Broomsticks, to find a drink of two. He walked in through the doors, a little bell ringing at the door collided with it, leaving him to walk the first few seconds with everyones eyes on him. They quickly turned around however, notcining that it was the kid that had messed up their eveninings so many days ago.

He walked to the front counter, and asked for 1 butterbeer. As they rushed off to go make his butterbeer, he turned around and leaned against the counter, deciding to look for anyone he knew at all. He turned his head around slightly, until he noticed a girl sitting by herself. He thought he had known her from somewhere, but could not put his finger on it. The black hair and facial features certainly tipped it off, but he could not remember the name nor where he had seen her before.

Elizabeth thought it was stupid enough that every time that she goes to a restaurant or Honeydukes or Three Broomsticks that there would always be a young waiter around her age flirting with her. She thought to herself, 'what do guy's waiters think they would always get a girlfriend around here?' Not to mention, she didn't feel ready for dating until it came to the right one and even worse her father is worried for her future where she could be lonely. She wants to make her own choices, not let anyone else make a choice for her.

Taking a sip of her butterbeer drink, as she heard the bell of the front door ring and she looked up just like every one else was staring too. The dark hair man appeared and she realize who he was. Andrew Thompson, her best friend from Hogwarts. She saw him walking to the front counter probably asking for a butterbeer and she was still staring as he turned around looking around the room. Then his eyes were upon her, she took a small wave and said, "Hey Andrew, it's Elizabeth."

Andrew raised an eyebrow at the person, still wondering about who she was. It was as if reality was trying to hit him on the back of the head for not remembering, and it made him want to find out even more. Then when the person began to wave at him, his brain snapped in 3 places, one being that he had remembered her the second one the memories he had with her and the 3rd one being of an emotion that had always shown up since he met an old friend. He couldn't even remember the last time he had talked to Elizabeth, or even see her.

The bartender set Andrews butterbeer on the coounter, saying 'here you do mate' or something like that. He toke a hold onto the cup, not wanting to drink any more mugs like he used to do with Chase. He had nearly burned his insides, and was even more glad that it was just butterbeer and not firewhiskey. He would've been dead already, if it was firewhiskey he drank all the time. He walked casually over to the table where Elizabeth sat and toke a seat across from her. "Hey Lizzy," he said in a friendly smile.

Taking a sip of his butterbeer, he drank a small amount of liquid before he set it back onto the table with a small thud. "Where have you been all this time?" he asked her, wondering where she had been for the past couple of months. So much had happened, with the fall of Grimmauld Place, the battle at Lake Ness, Potters Army, and now he was also the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain. To someone else, that would've been the life, yet to Andrew, it was kind of hell. He hated having all the responsibility, but he knew someone had to do it.
