A boy sat on the cold bench, small snowflakes falling about him. Why he'd even /come/ to this trip, he didn't know. He sighed, brushing the red-tinged black locks out of his deep blue eyes. Tobias Charlton, the boy was; a Sixth Year Gryffindor from Hogwarts School. His clothing, because they had the day off, was a thin red shirt despite the cold, and baggy black trousers.
Tobias sighed softly, watching snow-flakes falling about him. Bored, bored, bored. No friends to come and relieve him of his lonliness, and no money to go and buy a Butter-Beer. See, if Tobias had been smart, he'd've brought some money. But Tobias hadn't bothered to check to see if he'd brought any money, so he was stranded.
Bored.

A young red-head meandered slowly through the snow-covered streets of Hogsmeade town. Her large, shockingly emerald eyes glanced around her in amazement, this was her first time in a full wizarding town. With eyelashes sprinkled with fresh and melting snowflakes, the 3rd year Gryffindor pulled her lilac scarf tighter around her neck and tucked a rogue strand of auburn hair behind her ear.
This was of course Lily Evans. She carried on through the town, a huge grin planted on her freckled face. Not only was she excited to be in Hogsmeade but Potter was nowhere to be seen! Her normally pink lips were turning slightly purple and she stuffed her hands in her pockets in an attempt to keep them warm. Miss Evans' purse jingled merrily in her pocket as she felt no need to go into the shops just yet but just admiring them from the outside was enough. The frost bitten window panes held her interest for longer than a muggle shop ever had as she looked in amazement at all the different things in the shops.
Moving on through the bustling streets she found herself towards the edge of town. The sight was beautiful as she turned and peered back down into Hogsmeade. The jovial shops and the hurrying blurred colours of the students made her smile broader and she stood looking down on the inhabitants of the small village.

Tobias stared out at the town, sitting on the bench from the outskirts. He sighed softly again, jamming his hands into his trouser's pockets. He gazed around, deep blue eyes glittering. "Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin', Clementine." Tobias looked up, hearing a voice. But no one was near, so it must have been his imagination. You're going crazy, Tob. Utterly crazy. He thought, scolding himself mentally.

Lily turned sharply as she heard the voice. Noticing the young man sat across from her she tilted her head at him, wondering who he was, what he was doing and was it he who had sung? She shook her head, so possibly Petunia had inherited all the nosiness from their mother, some had leaked into Lily. "Hello," She called a little nervous but curiosity out weighed her anxiety, "Were you just singing?" She asked politely.]

Tobias looked up, blue eyes gazing about, trying to find the person who had spoken. "Are you speaking to me? Nope. I didn't sing. No, not at all." he muttered, standing up in one elegent, cat-like movement. He scratched his head, black locks with red tinge mused up only slightly from the wind.

Lily glanced behind her and shrugged, the voice must of come from somewhere......Lily's emerald eyes were drawn back to the village and a content sigh escaped her lips. "It's so pretty, don't you think?" She said absently before realising somebody was actually here. "I'm Lily by the way." She introduced herself quietly.

"Tobias," he answered, with a slight twinkle in his now golden-hazel eyes. "Tobias Charlton. And yes, yes, it is pretty." Tobias added, with a soft nod of his head. "Perfect for a postcard, wouldn't you say? As are you." Soft smile adorned his lips.

Lily blushed slightly as he spoke to her, at least this made a change from Potter throwing insults at her and then asking her out. It was always nice to receive compliments, even if they were from virtual strangers. "Yes it's beautiful, especially blanketed by snow." She sighed, a content sigh at just seeing the magnificent view. Shivering slightly, Lily stuffed her hands in her pockets as she felt the cold bite into them, numbing her fingers. She glanced back at the boy, he was better company than some she could name so she took a deep breath and started, "Umm would you like to go for a drink in the 3 broomsticks? It's my treat since you were so nice to me a minute ago." She said smiling, the truth was she didn't have anyone else to go with, well nobody that she could drag out of zonko's anyway, and he seemed nicer than most of the boys she'd talked to so far.

"Sure," Tobias answered, nodding soflty, black locks falling into his pale face. "I'd love to. But, surely, you shouldn't pay for me. I'll get some money- pay for you as well, Miss, er, Evans?" A twinkle of amusment glittered in his golden-hazel eyes, as he studied her face; taking in her details and such.

"No that's okay, really, I'll pay. I've lots of money since I don't waste it on sweets and the like." She said shaking her head causing several snowflakes to fall off her hair and eyelashes. "Besides I don't mind I'll just be glad to get the feeling back in my toes." She said smilingand began to move down the path towards the village.

Tobias followed after her, hands jammed in his pockets; whistling a song tune. "You sure? I wouldn't want you wasting your money on the likes of me." he asked her, soft Scottish brogue floating on the cold wind. Snow fell down from the Heavens like crystals, glittering and sparkling.

Lily smiled, "No it won't be wasted. It'll be nice just to have a decent conversation. Most of the boys I know aren't exactly mature." She said shaking her head slightly, "Besides, one butterbeer hardly breaks the bank does it?" She said laughing. Lily held out her hand and caught several snowflakes, "I love snow I always think it makes things look so....perfect." She concluded as she folded her hand up and rubbed both cold hands together, trying to create some desperately wanted friction to heat her chill fingers.

"It does, aye. Makes the whole world perfect. But, I doubt, it can't perfect you. You're already perfect." Tobias smiled softly, lean and lanky frame straight, hands jammed in the pockets of his black baggy trouser; gold and scarlet scarf being pulled out from his pocket. "Oh, so, Perfect."
(xD Wonder what James would think?)

(XD Interesting notion, twould be funny me thinks!)
Lily blushed, having never had to deal with compliments from boys. She didn't know what to say in return, thatnk you? Or did that sound like she agreed with him? She smiled, it was a nice change from deciding what to yell back in defence. "Now I have to buy you a butterbeer." Lily said with her emerlad eyes cast to the ground.
