It was a hot day. The hottest day James had known ever since he had been at Hogwarts and it didn't help that he was still wearing his school robes whilst walking around Hogsmeade. James looked up at the sun which made him squint, many other people were bustling past him many in shorts and t-shirts and James was beggining to get funny looks because of his attire. He took a quick look around and saw the door to The Three Broomsticks, 'It'll be cool in there' he thought to himself. So he made his way into the cool pub and ordered himself a cold butterbeer and then found himself a shady corner to sit in...

It was hotter than should be allowed outside today. Kassandra, unlike the others, was not wearing shorts. For some reason they were just uncomfortable to her. Most everyone looked happy today. The only reason they wouldn't be would be because of the miserable heat. She looked through her dark sunglasses down the street. The Three Broomsticks wasn't that far away, it'd be nice enough in there.
"Crowded too," she said quietly to herself as she made her way from the bar with her drink, trying not to get bumped into. Kassandra moved her sunglasses from her face to a secure position on top of her head. Something near her caught her eye; a boy in his school robes. She raised an eyebrow and made her way towards him. How silly for someone to be wearing their <i>black</I> school robes out in this. "Aren't you hot?" she asked once she got close enough to him.

"Yep" replied James wiping his brow, "It didn't even look that warm when I left this morning to be honest, maybe I should go back to the castle and get changed" he said eyeing the girl unaware of what Hogwarts house she was in and slightly confused by her clothes too, though they were much cooler than what James was wearing they just didn't seem right, "You look quite warm yourself," he said nodding at her clothes while taking a sip of Butterbeer.

"If it's bothering you that much then it'd make sense to go back and change. But then you'd have to come all the way back out here. Unless you're already done." She shrugged and searched his robes; Gryffindor. Definitely not in her own house which would make sense, she hadn't seen him around the common room ever.
Kassandra looked down to herself. He was right. She wasn't wearing much better than what he was. "Touché." When she looked up she gave him a smile. "I'm Kassandra."

(I'm just gonna *cough* Step in... ;D)
Edward basically collapsed onto the side of the door to the Three Broomsticks. Sweat rolled down the face and a newly acquired sunburn could be felt whelping on his neck. Everyone in Hogsmeade had apparently watched the weather this morning, because they had dressed appropriately. I guess you could halfway say Edward did. He wore a pair of shabby looking jean-shorts with a dark blue tank top. He didn't like to wear tank tops too much, because he felt as if he wasn't wearing anything at all. But nonetheless, he had slapped it on just before being left by his group to Hogmeade. He felt like a muggle, but he didn't mind too much.
Wiping sweat off of his forehead with the back of his hand, he pushed the door open and was greeted with a cool and air conditioned feeling. He exhaled comfortably and stumbled in front of a nearby table in which two fellow students sat, one wearing their school robes. "Erm, hello." he began blinking a few times, "May I sit with you guys?"

(No problem! ;D )
"Hi!" James replied supping his Butterbeer, "take a seat" he added. "I'm James by the way and if you're wondering why I've still got my school robes on it's because I hadn't really noticed how hot it was outside" he said chuckling. "Anyway, another Ravenclaw I see," he sais inclining towards Edward and then pointing at a seat for him to sit at, "I must be attracting them, Kassandra is in Ravenclaw too" he said grinning this time...

Edward turned to Kassandra. "Ah yes I've seen you in the common room a few times" he said nodding towards her. He shook James's hand "I'm Edward Beaumont." he said breathlessly. It was scorching outside and he felt so drowsy, even though he had slept well that night.
"Gee, I'm sorry, I need to order some butterbeer. Excuse me for a moment, will you?" he asked slowly getting up from his seat and walking up to the bartender. "One ice cold butterbeer please, and please for the sake of Merlin, make it COLD." he gasped tossing a few sickles over the counter.
A few moments later, he walked back with a cold bottle of butterbeer and a large mug. Sitting down, he tore the cap off of the bottle and guzzled it down. After a few gulps he sat it down and exhaled comfortably. "Oh, I'm sorry, I feel so rude, I just absolutely hate the hot weather.." he explained to the other two.

James smiled. "Don't worry" he replied, "I know how you feel" he said looking down at his robes, then suddenly he remebered a spell that he had come across in a Charms lesson "Cambiarus Lacarnum!" he said pointing at his school robes which disappeared to be replaced by a set of Hawaiian shorts a T-shirt and a pair of flip-flops. "Ahh thats better," he said adjusting himself in his seat. "So what do you think to this weather then? It's really weird I've never known it to be this hot"

Edward nodded as he snapped out of his daydream of jumping into an ice cold lake. "It terrible.." he said twitching his mouth to the side and sighing. He had never experienced a hot day like this one, and it made him happy to know that where he lived outside of Hogwarts was cold.
"You may not know this, but everyone in my family have ever attended Hogwarts." he said looking down "I am supposed to be a student at Durmstrang. But I chose a different path than the rest of my family.."

"Really?" James exclaimed, leaning forward out of interest. "So what's Durmstrang like? Have your family ever told you?" said James, taking a gulp of Butterbeer and looking around, something told him that what Edward was about to tell him, he didn't wnat anybody else to overhear....

[meep, sorry guys. also sorry that this won't be that great.]
"It's very nice to meet you both," Kassandra said. "Excuse my late reaction." The heat really must have gotten to her; she had missed most of the conversation! I'm sure that I've been sitting here just looking like an idiot. When she noticed James' change in clothing she raised an eyebrow. "Nice shorts," she said over the rim of her mug.
She studied the other Ravenclaw, Edward. "I'd always thought that Durmstrang would be an interesting place to attend school.. obviously, I never could." Kassandra shrugged. One reason being that she had no idea where it was. Two, being that she was a girl. As far as she knew they didn't go to Durmstrang. Though I could be wrong. "They let you choose?"

Edward exhaled sadly and turned to the both of them. "Well Durmstrang reminds me a lot of the potions class in the dungeon. Everything is dark. Everyone that attends must wear a blood red uniform and that also includes a fur cap and coat." he said and he then took a breath.
"Most of the dark wizards have attended Durmstrang. The rumor is true: Instead of a Defense Against the Dark Arts class...there is a Dark Arts class. I'm not exactly sure what the headmasters of that school are thinking, but they're not exactly good people." he said with a small chuckle and taking a quick sip of butterbeer before turning to Kassandra.
"Did we get a choice? Not exactly. I was sort of the rebellious one in my family. All of my siblings bragged about how they were going to be the most powerful dark wizard in the world as they grew up. They have all grown up and ruined their lives in one way or another. Only my sister lives with us now: She attends Durmstrang."
Edward took a long drink of butterbeer.

Kassandra was not particularly fond of Potions class. It would have been awful to have to deal with the darkness of the dungeons every day. She frowned, trying not to picture it and also trying not to think about what exactly the reason was for why they had to wear the color of blood red.
"Hm." She secretly thought it would be interesting to lean about the Dark Arts. Not because Kassandra wanted to be an evil individual but because she thought it would better help her defend against them if she knew them. Maybe it only made sense to her which is one of the reasons for why she kept it to herself. "Not everyone can be good so I guess there has to be somewhere to stick them," she said with a shrug.
"You'd think that they would have learned from each others mistakes. Your siblings, I mean." That way they could make sure not to fall into the same pattern and get caught the way that the others did. "Does she like it there?"

Edward laughed "Learn? My brothers? That is almost like saying that Voldemort loved to hug muggles!" he said rolling his eyes. "They think everyone who does not follow the Dark Arts should be killed, because apparently they are seen as ''Blood traitors"."
Edward sighed "And my family sees me as one. I see Hogwarts as good place to get away from my family and their hatred towards me and muggles. Ever since Harry Potter has killed Voldemort, my father thinks he is going to be the next Dark Lord. As if! He can't even levitate a feather!" he said with a small chuckle.
"My sister? Don't even get me started. She reminds me so much of Bellatrix LeStrange it's not even funny. She basically worships the Dark Arts, her and her little friend, Scorpius Malfoy." he scoffed.
