Stopping at several places, Demi had walked out when she saw no Long Island Tea on the bar menus. Deciding the next one she went to, she would force herself to take a break, she walked into the Leaky Cauldron. She had been there many times, but never had she been legally allowed alcoholic beverages in the country as far as she allowed herself.
Taking in the familiar yet different surroundings, she walked up to the bar and was disappointed once again. "Has no one in England heard of a Long Island Tea?" she muttered under her breath and settled for ordering a Bud. Thankful that, not only Europe, but the magical world had a lower drinking age than back home, she had been in a perpetual haze when nighttime came around.
At some point in her life she had feared the change that alcohol might bring in her. Much to her enjoyment, it was almost therapeutic, but she was lucky that she had the ability to stop at any point. Usually, she would start with something strong and then sip something lighter till she went to sleep, but the habit was growing expensive, and somewhat excessive to get the same kind of buzz she was looking for.
"This is going to be my last night of doing this." She raised her long neck to the bartender, as if they were supposed to keep her from drinking the following night when she'd head off to some other bar. What she needed was someone to follow her around saying 'Tsk tsk. I thought you'd be a woman of your word.' Apparently the liquor would drown out her conscious when it started to say that to her. Ordering a second bottle while the first was still half full, she let out a small sigh and looked around the nearly vacant place, wondering if it would become busier.
