little lion man

The name is Frank. Frank Longbottom. I work as a Curse-Breaker with the Ministry, and am a proud former Gryffindor. I am the son of heroes, and I hope I can live up to their legacy. My family is the most important thing in my life, and I would gladly die for any one of my sisters. Just don't tell them that.

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[frank-a-longbottom]

[He frowned.] Still, even if you can go longer, you need to eat. Food is great. Well, not picky is convenient, because I’m so hungry I could eat an elephant right now. Good thing this place serves food. [He smiled.] You order first.

[loralydavies]

I know, I know. I’m a big girl and would have eaten at home. [She chuckled.] You’re always hungry… I’ll probably just go with a roasted turkey blt with avocado… yep. There, I’ve ordered what I wanted, your turn.

[frank-a-longbottom]

Uh, could I get what she had? That sounds delicious.

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Just because I shouldn’t doesn’t mean I can’t. It was an honest mistake anyways. I got distracted. [She shrugged.] I’ve gone much longer without eating, I would have survived a few more hours until I got home. Hm.. I don’t really have a favorite, I’m not picky.

[frank-a-longbottom]

[He frowned.] Still, even if you can go longer, you need to eat. Food is great. Well, not picky is convenient, because I'm so hungry I could eat an elephant right now. Good thing this place serves food. [He smiled.] You order first.

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Sandwiches actually sound like a good idea… I may have skipped lunch earlier by mistake? [She sent him a sheepish smile before shrugging.] Better late then never.

[frank-a-longbottom]

Lor... You can't skip lunch. [He grinned.] It's not good for you. But yeah, better late than never. What kind of sandwich is your favourite?

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Hm, very true. Hmm… might as well. Lets get something to eat as well. Your choice.

[frank-a-longbottom]

How about sandwiches? Tea and sandwiches.

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

I may be friends with Alice, but that doesn’t mean our brains work the same way there love. [She shrugged.] Sure, why not? And you ought to. Not just anyone gets a star.

[frank-a-longbottom]

[He shrugged.] Maybe not, but its worth a try. Shall we go order those teas?

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Sisters are much, much different. You grow up around them so you obviously know how they work. Anyone else is quite tricky. [She laughed.] Alright, and when you do I’ll give you a nice golden star on your papers as well.

[frank-a-longbottom]

Well you're friends with Alice, right? So I'll just have to use similar tactics to the ones I used on her. [He chuckled.] You'd do that? For me? I feel so special.

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Hm, whatever you say Frank. [She grinned.] Though honestly I think you’re at a bit of a loss… though if you do figure it out, well. I’ll be extremely impressed.

[frank-a-longbottom]

Nuh-uh. I've mastered cracking girls brains. I used to do it to my sisters all the time. [He grinned.] So just you wait, and I'll impress you.

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

I’m quite intrigued about how you plan on going about this, personally I know exactly how I’d break someone and no, I’m not sharing that information.

[frank-a-longbottom]

Ah, ah, ah. I can't share my tactics with you, or else they won't work!

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Uh huh, good boy my arse. [Laughing, she took a seat at the table they were led to before shaking her head.] I don’t believe you will. You may be a brilliant curse breaker, but breaking into the working mind of a Ravenclaw may be your breaking point.

[frank-a-longbottom]

Really? Challenge accepted!

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Oh yes, the gutless Gryffindor that you are would never do something like that. [She rolled her eyes.] Hm, quite possibly, though I think I’ll keep it a secret for now.

[frank-a-longbottom]

Never ever. I'm a good boy. [He laughed.] I'll crack you before we get our first cuppa.

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Apparently the gossip column is going on and on about how the DJ was an absolutely event saver for changing the music at the Ball… seems they’ve got a full interview with him recently. [She laughed.] I’ll make sure to collect my reward later then. [Pushing the door open to the teashop, she slipped inside.]

[frank-a-longbottom]

Good for him. I know I wouldn't have had the balls to change the music at a Ministry party. [He grinned and nodded.] Got anything in mind?

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Sure, the guy right there through the window’s been looking through it. [She grinned.] Quite a few interesting columns, but anyways.. [She touched the door.] I win, time for tea, yeah?

[frank-a-longbottom]

Really? About what? [He smiled and shook his head.] That you do, and that it is.

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

[Stopping in front of the store, she reached her hand out, just far enough away from the door to just have to stretch her fingers out as she waited for him.] Hmm, Frank, you’ve taken quiet a while, I do believe I’ve read the entire daily prophet.

[frank-a-longbottom]

I just couldn't catch up to you! [He chuckled and raised an eyebrow.] The entire prophet? Really?

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Brilliant, see you there Frank! [Grinning, she ducked around another street goer before pushing forward. She was almost there but had no idea where Frank was.]

[frank-a-longbottom]

[Frank laughed as she took off and disappeared from his sight, then set off to find the coffee shop, taking his time, finally he spotted it, and her, and started to jog toward her.] I see it!

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Winner gets something they want from the other. [She grinned at him over her shoulder.]

[frank-a-longbottom]

Deal!

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

I already agreed to pay! Try again.

[frank-a-longbottom]

Damn. Um, winner gets a piggyback home?

[loralydavies]

There you are!

[loralydavies]

Depends on what we’re betting Longbottom, better tell me quick, I can see the tea shop now!

[frank-a-longbottom]

Loser pays? [He called out and continued to run, making sure that he didn't catch her.]
