We Meet Again (Kelly)

[Éowyn Lovegood]

Eowyn was exhausted after a long day of work at the Ministry. Her job as a Magical Lawyer wasn't as easy as she thought. She walked down the street to the Three Broomsticks and opened the door. A blast of warm air hit her it felt so good considering that is was snowing outside. Eowyn sat at a table near the window and watched the snow fall. She couldn't believe how fast the time was going. It felt like only yesterday that she was a First Year at Hogwarts.

[Kelly Evans]

Ah, Hogsmeade. Kelly felt as if she hadn't been in the village for years, when really it had only been a few weeks. Work was busy, as usual, as the silly season began to set in earlier than normal. Fighting against a wind that didn't want to blow in another direction, the witch made her way to the Three Broomsticks, three shoppings bags on her left arm, pushing open the door and immediately grateful for the warmth.

Still juggling her shoppings bags and her wallet as she pulled it out of her handbag, Kelly smiled at the man behind the bar and ordered a butterbeer, happy with the knowledge that soon even her ears would be warm. As Kelly waited, her dark eyes swept across the crowded bar, lingering on a young woman she remembered from somewhere. Shrugging her shoulders as the memory didn't come to her, Kelly kept looking around, grimacing as she noticed it had begun to snow.

A drink was placed in front of her and the witch smiled her thanks, sipping the warm liquid. Still curious about the woman she recognised, Kelly glanced back at her, and that was when it hit her: Eowyn, from school. Smiling, she got up from the bar stool she had perched on and made her way over, coming to a halt at the woman's table. "Eowyn, hi. I haven't seen you for yonks," she greeted warmly.

[Éowyn Lovegood]

Eowyn kept looking out the window until she heard a women's voice that was somewhat familiar. She looked over and saw Kelly Evans. "Hi Kelly! How are you?" she said smiling warmly at her gesturing to a chair at the table "It's been ages. I've been very busy with work. Being a Magical Lawyer isn't exactly easy" Eowyn replied laughing to herself looking at Kelly then said "What are you doing these days?" she asked her. Eowyn took a sip of her Butterbeer and looked out the window again to watch the snow fall.

Smiling as she sat down opposite her old friend from school, Kelly set down her shopping bags and her drink. "I've been good, thank you, how about you?" she asked in return, taking a drink of butterbeer before it went cold. One hand brushed away a lock of dark hair from her face, as Kelly nodded at Eowyn's comment about work as a lawyer. "I can imagine that would get ridiculously busy," she agreed.

"I'm an Attending at St. Mungo's now," she replied, answering Eowyn's question. "It's good work, busy, but I like to help," she added. Kelly glanced out the window again and sighed quietly as the snow started coming down heavier. I hate snow, she thought to herself, and shook her head, looking back at her friend.

"It's been a long time since school, hasn't it?" she asked, almost rhetorically. "Sometimes I still think I'm just a student on holidays, then I remember that a lot has changed since then. What have you been up to?"

[Éowyn Lovegood]

Eowyn smiled and replied "I've been alright, very busy as I said before" she said nodding. "St. Mungo's? That must be a pretty busy job. At least your helping people in need" Eowyn said smiling at Kelly. "I get to listen to murder trials and what not" she said chuckling. Eowyn missed those days as a student "It does only seem like yesterday" she said shrugging "I really miss it, I actually enjoyed going to all the classes" she said brushing a blonde strand of hair out of her eyes.

Another reminescent chuckle escaped Kelly's lips as she thought back to the days of school and classes. She had been late to many and absent to even more, especially Herbology. She couldn't help not liking plants.

The witch nodded at Eowyn's question, sipping her drink again before setting it back down on the wooden table in front of her. "It is busy, yeah. People can't help but hurt themselves." Kelly raised her eyebrows at the thought of listening to murder trials and whatnot, and she grinned. "You don't make it sound like a very interesting career," she laughed.

"I agree. It was much easier back then. There was no such thing as bills or apparition fines," she quipped. "Have you kept in contact with many people from our year?"
