Cassandra walked out of the house that morning, not sure what she was going to do. With Melissa in school and Dominic at home sleeping...that just left her with nothing to do....well at that moment. She would have to go to work, but she preferred a later shift. She wanted to spend as much time with them in the waking hours. She tucked a strand of her long brown hair and sighed. Smiling as old memories came rushing back.
She continued her long walk through Hogsmeade. Just window shopping and greeting people she once knew or remembered. It had seemed that most of her former classmates remained in London. She glanced up as her feet dragged her to her favorite spot to be, besides Flourish and Blotts. She felt drops of water fall, splashing on her face. Without a cloud in the sky, it soon turned dark and gloomy. She opened the door and headed inside to escape from the cold summer rain.
She wiped her face from all the rain and headed toward the counter. She asked for a strawberry sundae, paid and went to sit down at an empty table she had spotted when she had first walked in. The table was placed sort of at a far distance and it had a window over looking the street. She sat down and ate a bite of her ice cream as she stared out the rained on window.

Shell was walking down the street, carrying an armful of books for various of classes for her kids, when she noticed that the rain was pouring faster than it was a few minutes ago when she left the bookstore. "Why do I always end up getting soaked when I go to Diagon Alley?" she sighs, trying to blow the few wet curls out of her face. Before she knew it she was standing in front of Florean Fortescues ice cream parlour.
Deciding to go in and wait out the rainstorm, she looks around as she shook herself off before walking into the store and notices Andra sitting by herself at a booth. A small smile curled up onto her face as she walked over to where she was sitting. "Hey Andra, can I join you?" she asks softly, setting the books down onto the table before moving the same curls out of her face finally as she took off her light blue cloak. [/size] |

She looked and smiled at her friend. It was sort of odd and amazing that they were still close and still friends. She laughed to herself quietly knowing how right Shelby was when she had yelled all those hurtful..but true things. She shook her head trying to forget those thoughts."Sure, as long as you don't get me wet"She teased noticing that she was completely soaked from the rain. She noticed the books that she was carrying and outstretched her hands to help her set them on the table.
She nodded and ate another spoonful of her ice cream. Wondering how she passed by Diagon Alley without even catching a glimpse of those famous golden curls. She remembered when Briar and her would always have some reason to come and eat ice cream. It was one of those things they always did."So what brings you here?"She asked looking at the books curiously.

Shell laughs a bit, just shaking her head slightly. She knew that she was still upset over the fact that she slept with Jay and Shell sorta blamed Andra for his death. After all he wouldn't have been drinking that night if they had nothing to argue about, which was caused by her friend... but she tried her hardest to look over that. "Oh, I'll make sure that I will Andra." she says rolling her eyes a bit and push the rest of the books onto the table.
Shell unties her ribbon and starts to fix it when she hears Andra's question. "Just some shopping to get done for the kids. They're all busy today at the house, so I went on my own. I always pick the worse days to come here." she nods to the rain. "I'll be right back. One of those caramel sundaes are calling me." Shell laughs walking over to the counter. [/size] |

As if she didn't feel worse enough about sleeping with Jay. But he also died, she knew it was possible that she was being blamed for his death after all. This had all happened when she couldn't keep her mouth shut. She couldn't help but feel responsible, this was something that no one could could prov her wrong on. It was her fault. She had stopped talking to Shell and really didn't know how Jay's death affected her. She ate another spoonful of her strawberry sundae as she listened to shell's response.
She rolled her eyes and grinned."Well thanks I do appreciate it."She said sarcastically and laughed lightly. She nods understanding her need to shop for the children book's. Not to long ago she was here with Mel, dragging her all around Diagon Alley. "Well rain isn't all tha bad."She smiled nodding as she watched her go off to the counter and get her ice cream ordered. "Alright."She simply said and ate another spoonful of her ice cream.

Shell simply shakes her head lightly. "I'm sure you would appreciate it love." she says softly before walking over to the counter and getting her ice cream sundae. Shell slides into the booth and looks down at her glass dish taking a small bite from the ice cream. "So, why are you out here today Andra?" she asks softly glancing out of the window as the rain continued to fall before looking over at her. [/size] |

She pushed all her thoughts aside and smiles slightly before taking a bite of her now melting ice cream. She glances up at Shell who had just come back and slide into the booth."Well, I was bored at home, Dominic fell asleep and Melissa's at school, just thought I come by here until I have to go to work."She shrugged not really knowing to say. She never really thought about why she decided to come. She could of stayed home but staying in that enormous house sort of made her want to get out even more."And I really wanted some ice cream."She smiled.

Shell nods, taking another bite of her ice cream. "I see. But isn't school out yet? I've packed up my classroom and everything cause all my tests are done." but she shrugs and glances out the window. "So how's work then? I'm sure it's more interesting than mine is." she says with a grin. "Although, I get the summers off as well so that's a plus." [/size] |

She shrugged slightly as she moved her spoon around the glass bowl."Well, work is work. Healing the sick and injured. Making sure people are at their best. We had a lady come in, with her arm and foot missing. Luckily we were able to fix everything...though she won't tell us what happened. All she said was she was never going to baby sit again."She told Shell jokingly. Besides taking care of her kids, it was rather odd for her, but she loved going to work and seeing all the kinds of things people do.
"I don't know, if I like working in St. Mungos more, or a muggle hospital."She said mostly to herself. She smiled at Shelby,"Yeah, summers are fun. Especially when you nothing to do but relax. Unless everyone has to go to the beach, and then there's the hot sticky weather, which could melt an ice cream cone in less then half a minute."She shook her head and laughed. "Yeah, summer's great but I like winter."She smiled.

Shell shrugs as well. "Never could be a healer. It just seems that everyone is one or is associated with one." she smiles lightly. "Out of all my years of babysitting, I'd quit too if I lost my foot and hand." Shell grimaces a bit before taking another bite.
"I love the winter too, it's just nice getting to relax and spend time with the kids for three months without worrying about star charts, grading or rebellious students." she grins a bit before looking back up at Andra. "Jenny's grad party is this weekend, are you gonna come?" [/size] |

She nods, eating another spoonful of her even more melting ice cream. She played with her spoon some more, as she listened to her speak. Any other person that she could think of, was Riley. Since they had last talked, which was right after she had escaped from the hospital. Did they come to realize that they both wanted to become healers. She laughed softly."Hmm...I wouldn't, I'd just make sure to hold all my limbs in place."She joked.
"Ah, but don't you have rebellious students at home?"She said making it sound more of a question then a statement. "But spending time with your kids, that's sure worth everything."Cassandra nodded in agreement. She paused a bit before nodding her head slightly. It seemed like Jenny was only a first year since she had last seen her. Now she was out of school and soon she would be engulfed in the real world. She smiled."Of course wouldn't miss it for the world. Now what sort of gift should I get her?"She asked her.

Shell raises an eyebrow at Andra, but laughs soon after. "You're crazy you know that? I think you could give Briar a run for her money for the title of the Craziest Ravenclaw." she smiles shaking her head slightly as she continued to laugh.
Shell sighs, twirling her spoon around a bit before setting it in the glass. "Jenny, Zoe, Jessie and Vi are my rebellious ones. And on the opposite side of the spectrum is Ashlyn, Isaiah and James. The rest fall in various places." she nods, taking a bite from her ice cream again. "Well if you ask her money. But get her something that's more, I don't know... responsible? I have no idea. Whatever you think is appropiate I'm sure is fine." [/size] |

She rolls her eyes softly and laughs."Please, tell me something I don't know."She shakes her head and eats another spoonful of her melted ice cream before replying to her comment about taking Briar's title."Ummm...I think not, I'm sure Briar deserves that title more then I do."She laughed.
She smiles slightly and nods, of course she has money to spend, but even with that she wasn't sure what to get her. She didn't want to over bare her with gifts. Maybe just money so she could pick what to buy? She thought. "Are you sure your not over exaggerating?"She asked jokingly. "Thanks, that's a lot of help. I can't figure out what to get anyone."She shakes her head and laughs.

"Hey you never know do you? You could steal her title in a heartbeat." she says with a laugh before looking back outside. She had a lot to ask her about the whole Jay incident, but she never had the courage to ask her really. Shell didn't want to ruin their friendship completely, although most people probably wouldn't even consider her to be friends after something like that.
"The girl wants a broom, and she already has one. So I really don't see the point. I rather people get her things she'll really need. You'll just have to talk to her about it cause when I ask, Jen just says a new broom." Shell sighs, putting her head on her left hand as her elbow rested on the table. "Thanks, I'm glad I'm still helpful after all these years." she adds quickly with a faint smile. [/size] |

She shook her head and laughed rolling her eyes slightly before pushing her empty ice cream dish aside."Yeah, right...like I said I'm not were near as crazy as Briar is or ever will be. And I highly doubt she wouldn't even lift a finger to do everything from me stealing that infamous title of hers.""She lets a small laugh escape her lips.
She smiled when Shell told her that Jenny wanted a broom. She continued listening to her and nodded. Trying to figure out what exactly she should get her. She nods again when she was told that she would probably would have to ask her herself to find out what exactly to get her.

Shell shakes her head a tad before finishing off her sundae as well, stacking the glasses together neatly. "Well, I doubt that. She loves that title. If we said that she had to dance on the teacher's table in her a ravenclaw tie and skirt she most likely would." she laughs, causing a couple workers to stare at her a bit, but with smiles. [/size] |

She shook her head and laughed slightly knowing she deserved a completely different title."Just as long as you don't try to beat her too it."She grinned looking around the parlor at the people staring at Shell."Shush! Shell before we get thrown out into the rain."She joked.
{{bye!}}

Shell gasps, shaking her head at her friend. "I wouldn't do that... well maybe I would but still. Don't say that in public!" she whispers seeing a few of the waiters snickering now that the two of them. "I think I'd rather be thrown out into the rain now." she says with a light sigh, but still with a smile. [/size] |

She blinked not surprised by Shell's gasp, and shook her head slightly."Hmm...that's what I thought."She smirked slightly before laughing when she told her about not saying that in public. She smiled innocently and shrugged."Hey, I didn't bring that topic of conversation up now did I."She told her laughing lightly as she sees the waiters snickering."Oh Shell, a little embarrassment does everyone some good now and again."She grinned.

Shell's cheeks turn a bright pink before shaking her head a little before sticking out her tongue. "You can still shush before I do get up onto this table and dance like that." she says with a straight face, but she was joking. "Oh, I know about embrassment Andra." she says winking at one of the waiters passing by again. [/size] |

She shook her head and smiled at the rosiness of Shell's cheeks. Laughing a bit as her friend stuck her tongue out at her."Well what if I don't want to huh?"She asked jokingly raising a slender eyebrow at her next comment."Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it happening."She nods watching her wink at one of the waiters. Casing them to drop whatever they were holding. She simply rolled her eyes and laughed.

Shell bit her lip watching the waiter drop his tray before looking at Andra wide eyed. "He didn't drop that tray because I winked at him did he?" she asks before taking another look at the guy and deciding to help him with the tray, putting broken plates and cups onto it before sitting back at the table.
"Are you daring me to jump onto this table and dance around in just a ravenclaw skirt, high heels with just my bra and tie?" she asks raising an eyebrow as well at her with a smirk. "You know I'll do it Andra. You probably just want to see me dance around half naked." she says, before glancing over at the waiter's reddened face before walking away causing Shell to laugh. The waiter had to be only in his early twenties if that. [/size] |

She shook her head and laughed as she watched the waiter quick pick up everything that he had dropped in his tray. She sighed slightly and smiled at Shell as she went to help him pick up the rest of the plates he dropped."Ah, Shell that was so helpful of you sweetie."She grinned as she watched the waiter rush off with the tray of broken bowls and plates among other things.
"Ah, no but I'm sure you would just do that for the hell of it. I know I wasn't saying you were not capable of doing it."She told her smiling as she shook her head."Oh darn you caught me, but I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one wanting you to dance half naked."She joked smirking a bit.

Shell rolls her eyes a bit before shaking her head at Andra. "I wasn't going to let him pick those up when the reason why was because I simply winked at him." she says with a nod before laughing slightly at what she said.
She pretends to think, scratching at her chin before simply nodding her head. "Yes, yes I would." she says with a grin and winking now at Andra until what she said. "And give a few examples, and don't you say that you were just saying..." Shell says leaning back against the booth and crossing her arms lightly. [/size] |

She smiled and let a small laugh escape her lips."Oh, of course Shelly, you always have to be super nice."She grinned. "Oh, I understand of course, you just wanted to help him pick up what you caused."She teased her. "I would of done that same thing."She nodded.
She rolled her eyes, well it not like she knew everyone in the place. She rested her chin on her hand and pretended to think a bit."Well, there's those two waiters that are like falling and crashing into things. Well lets see Draven, Briar."She joked. "And J-J....oh never mind I think that's it wait."She stopped before saying Jay's name. "Maybe that one Chris guy....I forget his name."She forced a laugh hoping that she didn't hear her almost say Jay's name.

Shell sighs, keeping her arms close to her chest and she started to list people, knowing there was maybe a few more that would like to see that, but kept that to herself. She did though pick up the almost announcing of Jay's name and sighs looking down at the table. "No, he would rather you did Andra." she mutters before standing up and walking over to the bar letting out a deep huff when she sat on the stool. [/size] |

She sighs running her slender finger thought her brown hair. Before she even managed to utter a word her eyes followed Shelby as she stood up and walked over to the bar. She bit her lip knowing she always had a knack for ruining things for others. No matter how insignificant that thing might be she some how always manages to bring up something bad.
She grabbed her things and walked slowly to where Shell was sitting."Yeah, right...I'm just a one time thing hun...you on the other hand your worth a lifetime."She told her honestly feeling bad for even thinking of Jay at that moment."I'm sorry I shouldn't of brought him or any of this up."She said sitting one stool away from her as she set Shell's thing on the counter next to her.

Shell glances over at her and shakes her head. "If he really loved me, he wouldn't have cheated in the first place Andra." she mutters, taking her glass and finishing her sundae. "I'm sure you never intended to take him away from me..." she says sarcastically before looking back at the counter. "Why do you even care anyway, you're never happy with what you have." |

Post by Cassandra Ortiz on Aug 13, 2008 5:00:01 GMT
She bit her lip at her words not sure how to respond but with a soft sigh."Oh, but wouldn't you take your own words into consideration...would you never have cheated on him...if you really loved him or was the boredom getting to you?"She asked in a calm tone. "Temptation lies in everyone...those who over come it are strong."She muttered to herself. "What do you know of happiness? You're married how many times now? Each time...your happiness was revoked, but at what cost?"She shook her head. "So it may seem, but I'm happier then I let on."She smiled.

Shell just smiles a little, shaking her head before punching her in the arm hard. "Don't talk to me that way. You're the reason why he's dead. You stealing every guy I've ever loved. You're the one that's a whore. Even Jason left you for someone else. I think that proves something right there." she mutters before getting up and walking out of the ice cream parlour. [[yeah... I'm bored of the thread. XD]] |
