I was Extremely lost, I have never lived in london and so i didn't know where anything was. I was looking for a job, and i was never very good at following streets sio i was very confused. "Okay so the lady said take a right and then go straight, but what did she say after that?" I say to my self. I sigh and sit on a bench nearby. "It really shouldn't be so difficult to find your way around London." i tell myself. " i always was bad with directions. I look at the map i had in my hands, and turn it around a few times. "this must be a faulty map." i add.

There was something nice about walking around Muggle London. At least to me, personally, it was just a nice change of the wizarding area of London. I could still usually tell when someone was a witch or wizard, but other than that, this area was obvously primarily muggles. Which I liked as a nice break from... well, everything.
I was just taking a walk, but as I was walking, I heard a girl talking to herself about being lost. I glanced over to her. She looked very vaguely familar, but then again, so did most poeple to me lately. For all I knew, I reallydidn't know her at all. I had no idea anymore.
"You need directions somehwere?" I asked as I stopped infront of her.

I look up to see a man there. "huh, uh..yeah, though i probably wont be able to follow them anyway, so you shouldn't waist your time with me." i smile at him. "i'm Alivia." i say and stick out my hand. "you can call me Al, if you want." i add.

I laughed a little bit. "Never know..." I smiled with a small shrug. "They might make sense."
"Good to meet you, Al." I said shaking her hand lightly. "I'm Riley."

"Maybe,they would, and hey if they don't i could just hire a guide to show me where everything is." i grin.

"Thanks." I smiled when she said that I had a nice name. I didn't hear that often, so it was actually sort of strange hearing.
I laughed a little, smiling lightly to her with a small shrug. "You could.. did you just move here then?" I asked her with the small smile still. I reallyhad no where to go, so if she needed help getting somewhere I could easily show her the way.

"Welcome," I nod
"Yeah I moved up here from Australia, I only lived here when going to school, the rest of the year i always lived in Australia." i say "when i graduated i went back to Australia, but decided i sort of missed England... I'm not sure why anymore though." i say looking around, then smile at him "It's to cold for me." i add

"Ah, very cool." I smiled lightly with a small nod. "Never been to Australia." I said, shaking my head faintly with the same small smile. I laughed a little when she commented on the weather. "Yeah.. it is a bit cold here I guess." I chuckled.

I grinned slightly back to her, never really knowing why, but when someone else grinned it was hard not to do the same. "Maybe once I get enough money.." I smiled with a small shrug. "In the process of saving some up."
I nodded at what she said, warm weather was nice. "'Fraid not.. I don't really get out of.. here." I chuckled. "One day." I smiled.

"yeah, i had to save up all my money from my summer jobs as a teenager to be able to go to those places." i say, even though i aparated to most places i ever went to. "its good to save money, you can do more things when you have it." i smile.
"oh, that's to bad, yeah one day." i grin more.

"Bet it was worth it though." I smiled looking over to her.
I laughed a little and nodded, "Yeah.. And I'm saving as much as I can, but the kids make that difficult." I chuckled, smiling a little bit.
"Yep." I smiled. ".. Mind if I sit down?"

"Defiantly worth it." i grin, "i think one of my favorite places was Egypt." i add. "the pyramids are Huge." i smile. "i wouldn't know how kids make it difficult, but i can imagine it." i smile.
"you can sit if you want, its not my bench." i smile

I smiled. "That sounds cool... Egypt sounds like it would be nice... and warm too, warm's good." I chuckled, smiling over to her. "I just keep having to by them things... and they're starting school soon, so I'll have a ton more to buy."
"Thanks." I smiled and sat down on the bench by her.

"yes warm is very good, It was amazing." i grin.
"how old are they." i ask "Don't by them so much stuff, just the necessities, they might understand you can't get them everything, and for school supplies, i dunno how to help you there, i went to a... Private school, different from public." i nod my head.
"no problem." i smile back.

I smiled and nodded a bit. "That's cool.. I'll have to go there sometime."
"I have two twin girls who are turning eleven soon.. and I have one boy who's turning one in a few months." I smiled. "I don't buy them everything." I chuckled. "It usually is just the necessities.. but things have been tough lately so I've been giving in a bit more."
"Yeah.. I did to." I said nodding a bit over to her. At least I guess that's what you could call Hogwarts. Close enough.
