As of last week, Hayley was officially jobless. She quit her healers job as an in the moment decision. Everyone who worked there thought Hayley was crazy, but she loved unemployment. Being a healer was a high paying job, so she had no need to worry about money at the moment. If Hayley ever wanted her job back, she was sure she could get it, after all, St. Mungos needed all the healers they could get.
To celebrate she came to the Three Broomsticks to get a drink. She ordered her usual butter beer, and sat down at an empty table.

Melody was smiling. It was the end of the week, she felt good, and she had finally been able to beat her friend in a broomstick race. What could possibly be so wrong about today? Nothing. Happily, she ordered a firewhiskey from the bar tender, then started walking around, looking for somewhere to sit. Every table was full, excep one. It was taken, but there was still room.
Walking over, she smiled brightly. "Excuse me, but may I sit here? Every where else is full up."

Hayley looked up from her butter beer bottle and smiled at the girl. Nothing would dampen her mood today. "Of course you can sit here. Its a free seat." Hayley said. Normally, Hayley would point out rudely how she'd rather not have someone sit there, but she didn't own the chair. As of today, Hayley felt like a changed person.

"Thanks." She sat, taking a sip of the whiskey. "My name's Melody. What brings you down to Hogsmeade?"

"I'm Hayley, nice to meet you." Hayley said putting her butter beer back on the table. "I' here because I'm celebrating having nothing better to do." Hayley explained. Most people would probably not call this celebrating, but to Hayley any free time used was when she had job that took so much time.

She laughed. "That's definately my idea of a reason to celebrate." She picks up her bottle and holds it up. "To having nothing better to do. Congratulations."

Hayley laughed and picked up her bottle. "Cheers." she said clinking her bottle againts Melody's before taking a gulp over her drink. "So why are you here?"

She shrugs. "Just felt like it. It's a good day, thought I'd finish it off with a good drink."

"I wouldn't really call fire whiskey a good drink, but to each their own." Hayley said with a shrug. Hayley herself had sworn off of it ever since she started learning at St. Mungos.

She shrugs. "Not a great taste, but it feels good. But you're right. To each their own."

"Not such a great taste?" Hayley said laughing. "I'd say thats the under statement of the century."

She grimmaced. "Someone handed me a bottle at one of the parties I went to. Said it was the all the rage in China. Tasted like piss, licorice, and tequila. Got ya drunk quick and gave you a hell of a hangover."

"Nasty." Hayley said, making a grossed out face. "I would have never gone even gone with in a broomstick of that drink."

"Good point." Hayley said nodding. "Although I can't say I would ever find myself in that situation." Back in school, Hayley had always kept to herself.

"As of now, brilliancy, hasn't been working out that much for me." Hayley said honestly. "I'd rather be good at something else."

Hayley laughed and said, "I completely agree." Almost all of her family had also been typical Ravenclaws, and all Hayley wanted was to find her own thing.

Melody takes a sip of her drink, smiling. "I'm very glad that we agree on said idea." She pauses, thinking. "Well, there must be something you enjoy doing. Gardening, reading, knitting, I don't know. SOmething. If there's something you enjoy doing,it doesn't matter if you're good at it or not."

"Ice skating! Brilliant. You any good at it?"

"It depends what you mean by good. I might have been considered good about eight or so years ago, but I'm out of practice now." Hayley said smiling. Ice skating had been one of the things she loved, but ever since she started working, she had less time to do it.

"Maybe I will." Hayley said nodding. "With all this new free time on my hands, all doors are open to me." Hayley added with a smile.

"Good." Melody nods, smiling. "You most definately should. Keep you from sitting in a bar drinking a butter beer and talking to someone you don't know." She chuckles, sipping the whiskey.
