Alicia strode down the sidewalks of Hogsmeade. Her scarf wound around her tightly. Despite the energy it was costing, she'd decided to come to Hogsmeade. After all, they had to decide where they wanted to work after Hogwarts, didn't they? She looked at the buildings surrounding her, wondering if there was an open one for her and Lucas to work.

Lucas walked beside Alicia, an arm wrapped carefully around her waist. His breaths came out as fog, working with his hair to obstruct his vision of the street. His fingers traced small circles on her side as he looked at the surrounding buildings. Worry gnawed at his mind. He had tried to convince Alicias to stay back at Hogwarts, promising her he'd show her any places that looked good. But, of course, she hadn't listened to him.

"Hey look at that," she said happily, leaning against Luke's side. "It looks like that place is open," she suggested. "Let's go ask." She eagerly started forward and pushed her way through the door.
A man with graying hair was standing behind the counter, polishing a dusty cup. "Welcome, can I help you?" he asked, holding out his hand to Alicia as she stepped forward to the desk. "Actually yes, you can. Um....I saw the sign outside and was wondering....is this place for sale?" she asked hesitantly.
"Yes it is," he said brightly. Was someone finally going to buy this dingy old place? "I'm going into retirement, and decided to sell this place," he eagerly informed the couple.

Lucas smiled at her enthusiasm. He took a quick look at the outside as he followed her in - and the inside just strengthened his thought. This place'll need some work. He looked around the dingy room, mentally noting anything that had to be fixed. He could to that - he was good at fixing things.

Alicia's mother had sent her money to buy a place. She hadn't exactly mentioned the children to her, she just told her about their plan to buy a shop in Hogsmeade. She'd have to tell her sooner or later. She would write out the letter tonight, she decided.
"Great! How much?" she asked, getting straightforward. "1,000 Galleons," he answered. He didn't ask for a high price, so Alicia dug in her rucksack until she found the purse that held her money. She pulled it out and they began talking business.
Within an hour, they had bought the place. "This is great!" she exclaimed to Luke. "We've got money left over, so that's enough to get some furniture and decorate the place. And then we can ad on an addition for the kids," she said as she started rambling about all the possible things they could do for the place.

Lucas listened to Alicia and the man talk business, still studying the room. He smiled at the cheap price - this place defiantly needed work.
An hour later, as Alicia rambled, he chuckled. "You just worry about the kids - I'll worry about getting the place started." he smiled, kissing her cheek. "We should go back to Hogwarts, you need to rest."

"All right," she agreed, slightly disgruntled. "You act like I can barely move without falling over," she complained, rolling her eyes. "Lets go then." She knew when she got back, she'd have to write her letter.

Lucas rolled his eyes good-naturedly, "You nearly did fall over on the way down here." he reminded her, smiling. He touched his lips to hers, murmuring against them, "I'll see if I can get us some more money from my mother."
