"Yeah, no problem." She told Cole, taking his bundle of clothes that he hadn't folded neatly like she had and stowing it into her bag. "Let's go." She agreed, casting disillusionment charms on them both. She reached out to grope for him, locating his arm and clutching it to prevent them from splitting up in the bustling Entrance Hall. They then carefully headed outside, crossing the grounds as the first flurries of snow began fluttering down from the dull, blue sky, melting against Athena's warm skin. She hoped it wouldn't snow too badly or else their footprints would be visible when they returned. Finally they passed through the wards, barely noticeable other than a cool, trickling sensation like that of the invisibility charm she placed on the pair a few minutes prior. She finally let go of Cole's sleeve and performed the counter curse to her charm as they stood visible now at Hogwarts perimeter with the dense, dark Forbidden Forest looming behind them, it's trees mostly bear, signifying that winter was just around the corner.
"You do the honors, only right for the prince to lead the way." She remarked in soft amusement, smiling at the inside joke between them and wondering how long they would keep it going. They apparated to Hogsmeade under Cole's guidance and Athena gazed down the narrow, cobblestone street of the Scottish village at all it's quaint shops and pubs, a trail of wispy smoke curling from their chimneys.
Athena suggested they get breakfast at Madam Puddifoot's teashop, heading straight towards it briskly as her stomach gave a hearty, rather unladylike growl. She entered the rose colored dining room, decorated merrily with fluffy, floral seat cushions on every chair at the round, two-person tables littered around the room and a canopy of twinkling, white, string of lights draped above them. Athena was sure it would be beautiful to come have tea here in the evening, when it's darker out and the lights create a cozy ambiance. She pushed that thought aside as they slipped into a table near the large, front window with an attractive view of the main village street outside. Athena slipped off her heavy coat, hanging it on the back of her chair and sat with good posture, plucking the menu and scanning over the list of selections of teas and biscuits. She ordered a pomegranate flavored tea she had never tasted before with a tray of biscotti. They had proper breakfast selections as well but Athena found that her stomach preferred lighter foods to digest in the mornings.
"I must say, this is rather mild compared to the Forbidden Walk." Athena observed, gazing around the tea shop and admiring all the little porcelain figurines there was to look at, though the room was far too pink for her liking. Her bright, golden orbs then came back to rest upon Cole who sat across from her, taking in his wind-swept hair and slightly rosy cheeks from the bitter, late autumn wind nipping at their faces as they walked.
"Though I still dunno what all you have in store for me, so perhaps it's merely mild since I suggested it." She smirked, grateful he indulged her with at least one activity she wanted to do today. She wondered what he had planned for later...
(OOC: We can make the teashop scene brief, just two or so posts then move onto Honeydukes and do the same or somewhere else I don't care, then by then we can say it is evening and they can go grab a bite to eat at the Three Broomsticks and drink their hearts out lol. Sound good?)
