The Lateness of the Hour

Pandora sat in Kofyeĭnya, sitting at the table next to the window watching the rain slash down from the night sky. Her coffee slightly steamed up the window as she holded it for the warmth. It was summer, but the weather felt like winter. Pandora felt lonely, wishing she had a friend to talk to. It hadn't been a great year on the Exchange program. Hopefully next term back at Durmstrang would be better. She hope her 5th year would be one of her best. She was hopeing for that prefect badge, but she knew she wouldn't get it.

Severus is walking around in Russia. Why he was here was beyond him. Maybe just to clear his head. He adjusts his necktie and sighs. He hated being out late. Nighttime was quite undesireable. The sooner he got to his hotel the better. This place could be crawlig with them. The thought made his stomach lurch unpleasantly.

Pandora saw a blonde boy come in. She watched as he went to order a drink. She took her hair back behind her ear and sat straight in her chair by the window. She sighed and took a sip of her coffee. The boy looked quite lost for some reason, maybe he wasn't from around here? Well Pandora wasn't really either, her parents just have a house here. She looked at the boy, who was looking for a seat.

"You can come and join me if you want, I won't bite." Pandora said with a welcoming smirk.

Sev startled slightly at the sound of a voice from behind him. He prepared to attack the speaker. He was used to street fights. Realizing it was a female, he relaxed only slightly. sliding a hand through his hair he forced a smile.

"really? inviting random strangers? you seem quite trusting"
