some day my prince will come !

[Taylor]

Holding a black umbrella over her, the black double breasted jacket didn't really warm her much. Small white ink covered the umbrella's top, repeating 'Arlington' over and over again in neat script. Francesca had gotten it a while ago, before being disowned. She wasn't going to throw it out, there was no point in doing so. Her hair was up in a messy bun, giving her a rather out of place look. With her tight black jeans, black jacket, black high heels that boosted her up a few inches, not the most approachable look. Her hands ran down her jacket, looking down at it quickly. It went a bit below her waist, and was slightly thin.

Francesca didn't know why she was wearing this, probably maybe to attract heat. Her hands were cold, obviously not in gloves. Her lips had a dark cranberry red color from the random choice of lipstick selection she owned. This random look of hers would probably scare most people off. Raising her chin slowly to peek at lightning struck, she walked quickly to the closest building.

Heading into the Three Broomsticks, she rushed through the crowd. Pushing through some people, slightly regretting leaving her wand back at her dorm. Shoving some person out of her way with a smirk, Francesca sat down on a stool, lighting placing the heels on the lower bar. "Madam Rosmerta!" She said with a smile as the lady made her way over. "Can I please get a water?" She asked politely to the lady, still smiling. "Of course, still not drinking fire whiskey or anything yet?" Rosmerta said teasingly, making Francesca shake her head with a small blush.

Tapping her fingers lightly on wood, looking around. All these people so far looked older, about two or three years. Francesca's lip slightly curled in disgust as the smoky air finally hit her, she hated the smell of smoke. Some taller guy bumped into her roughly, stumbling. Rolling her eyes and trying to ignore it, she shifted her focus back to the wood.

Madam Rosmerta delivered the water, Francesca thanking her happily. She would probably stay here till the thunder storm was over. Realizing the umbrella was open, and laying on the floor, she picked it up and closed it. Shaking the water on it to the ground, some guys started yelling at each other for some random reason, making the smirk reappear.

Noah was bored. Not just the normal type of bored when you really can't be bothered to do anything, oh no. Definitely not. This was the very extreme type of bored when all Noah wanted to do was go bang his head against a brick wall. Then again, that may not even be due to the boredom. Well, the boredom was still a part of it. Yet Noah had actually been feeling like this all afternoon, for a multitude of reasons.
For one, it was raining- well, that with a bit of thunder and lightning thrown in for added measure. And this being Noah, he felt that there would be no need whatsoever for an umberella or coat. After all, it was only a bit of water. That was exactly why the poor boy was soaked to the bone.

Also, everywhere he went, he seemed to be attacked by third years all exited for their trip to Hogsmaede. When it wasn't third years, it was couples. Lately Noah had really been against romance. Therefore the idea of being stuck behind two couples walking at a mind nummingly slow pace telling 'Cuddlyboo' how much 'Smoochiekins' loved her was certainly not how Noah wanted to spend his day. Hmm. A thought.
How would Cuddlyboo react when Noah threw up all over Smoochiekins back?
That would just make the date perfect.

After a lot of effort and non-existent patience, Noah had finally managed to make his way into the three broomsticks. He looked around impatiently, in the hope of seeing someone to sit with or better- an empty table where he could head-desk in peace. No such bloody luck. The only available seat seemed to be at the bar... next to Francesca. Noah smirked, sliding onto the stool. He was most certainly going to need a drink now. "Wow, Franky! Water. We're really living on the edge today, aren't we?"
He was most likely going to die for that.
Ah well.

Anyway, sorry it's crap. When I wrote it the first time, it was much better. D:

Francesca looked up at Noah. Glaring at him, she bent down, picking up her umbrella. Sitting back up, straight, Francesca hit his head with it, though not too hard. "Shut the fuck up." She said lightly, smiling. Dropping the umbrella lightly down to the ground, not caring if it broke or not. "Little Noahie seems to be very wet. Forgot to use your wand?" Saying that teasingly, a smirk took place of her smile.

Taking another sip of her water, her eyes drifting to other people in the room. Then, the same guy from before walked backwards into her back, making her gasp, slide off the stool, and onto the floor. During this, her cup of water spilled all over her chest. Francesca's opened her mouth to yell, but then stood up, realizing the guy was way taller then herself. Eyes widening slightly, Francesca just nodded. Normally, she would have just hexed him, but since she didn't have her wand right now, that really wouldn't be a good option.

Noah glared back as Francesca hit him on the head with her wet umberella. Gee. Thanks. Now he was even more wet. He sighed, shaking his head. "I'm taller than you. How come I'm still little?"
Waitaminute. Why the hell hadn't he thought of that before? Noah then began to fumble through his pockets in the search of his wand. After the third time, Noah finally remembered that he'd left it in his trunk back at the castle. Figures- the day that he decides not to bring it and there appear a bunch of people who are practically just screaming out to be hexed.
"Of course I thought about using my wand," Noah started, coming up with the latest lie as he went along. "I just like the rain."
Well, the last part wasn't a lie, at least.

Noah's eyes widened in surprise as Francesca fell off of the stool and onto the floor. "Are you ok?" He asked, offering her his hand.

Francesca looked up at the ceiling, cocking her head. "How long have I known you? And how tall are you again?" She asked, looking at him. Stiffening lightly, biting her lip while thunder boomed outside.
"Sure you did." She said teasingly, then added quickly,"Since when did you start liking rain?".
Grabbing his hand, she pulled herself up gently. "Of course." Francesca said with a smile, sitting back on the stool.
"Hey! Rosmerta!" She called, smiling at the lady.
Rosmerta looked at her curiously, flicking her wand, and then the water disappeared from her.

Looking at Noah quickly, she ran a hand through her hair. "Wouldn't your parents kill you if they found out you are talking to me?" Francesca said, raising an eyebrow. "Honestly, I thought you like your family." She said, looking at him, truly wondering why he was talking to her.

How long had they known each other? Gah. Noah was clearly in no mood for maths or remembering things or whatever the hell you called it. "I don't know. Around fourteen years?" he eventually said, looking up at the ceiling thoughtfully. "And I'm 6'2". Why does it matter when all you need to remember is that I'm taller than you are?" He asked, as blunt as ever.
Well, the questions seemed perfectly reasonable to him at least.

Noah let out a short sigh, ordering a drink of his own. He smirked slightly, turning on the stool so that he now faced Francesca. "Do you really think I'm stupid enough to tell them?Anyway, it's not like there's anyone here who'll know-" Noah cut off, now looking anxiously around the room. The place was packed, so there may have been someone in there who may know his parents and see themselves fit to tell them that Noah'd been seen with 'that girl'.
All he could do was pray to god that this wouldn't happen.

"I do like my family,"He practically whispered, his head low, paranoia obviously sinking in -thanks a lot, Cess!- "Yet I like you more."
...
Ok.
That wasn't meant to come out.
Bugger.

"Hm." Francesca said, nodding slowly. "Well, I was taller then you when we were four, five, six, and seven years old. So, you are still little." She said with a big smile, "And only...um..seven inches! It's not that much.". Thunder boomed again, resulting in her biting her lip hard to ignore it.

"You never know. Thorfinn found out about me pretty quickly. Took about...five seconds." She remembered slowly, playing the memory over again her mind. The outcome was Francesca starting to giggle. Raising an eyebrow at him looking around the room, She pointed to a tall, muscular man with some rich clothing. "I think I remember that guy at that one pure blood meeting where I let my owl attack your head." Francesca lied this fact with a smirk, looking back to Noah.

"Hm. Remind me, they are pure blood maniacs, yes?" Francesca murmured, not exactly matching his tone. Raising an eyebrow, she sat up straight,"Oh, really?". Yawning rather quickly, using her hand to cover it quickly.

Noah opened his mouth to remark that if he was taller than Francesca now, it hardly mattered that she was taller than him when they were five, six and seven, yet then he unfortunatly remembered that she just so happened to be older than him by a couple of months. Therefore Franky had the right to call him little after all. Goddammit.
"Sure, seven inches isn't that much. Just enough that I can now look down on you..." Noah said with a wry grin. Sadly that was the only thing he could say here while attempting to keep at least some of his dignity.

He let out a sigh, still keeping low to the table. "Well that was Thorfinn. He was just annoyingly observant when it came to those sort of things. " Noah grimaced slightly at the mere memory of him, not to mention the time of that dreaded owl attack. He didn't even bother to look round to see if he too recognised this gentleman. Instead Noah stupidly chose to believe Francesca and continued to try and hide. "Yes, they are pure-blood maniacs,"Noah all but hissed at her, the paranoia inflicted upon him making him tense."And yes, really. I probably spent more quality time with you than I ever have with them."

Francesca played with her nails lightly, eyes drifting around the place. She then glared at Noah, crossing her arms with a,'hmph'. "Do you seriously look down at me?" She asked with slightly wide eyes, straightening her back to try to make herself seem taller. Breathing in with her nose deeply, her nose scrunched up with disgust. The smoke scent was still hanging here,"Ugh. The smell of smoke is disgusting.

Smiling at his, she took her hand and pulled him gently towards the counter opening to get behind it. "True." She said softly with a shrug, well, she might as well play along with the lie about the man over there. "Yeah, Noah, I kinda noticed after all these years." Francesca said with a roll of her eyes. Smiling at the next thing,"Even more then that one vacation you took with them and nearly fell of that 'special broom'?".

"If by that you mean that I can easily see the top of your head when you're near me, then yes. I do look down on you. " Noah replied with a smirk. Hey- at least he was truthul. At this time, he would probably have also straightened up as well, just to hammer the 'taller than you' point home. Sadly the idiot was still hiding from mystery stranger A, so Francesca won that round by a landslide. Noah'd make a point to get her back later.

The next thing he knew, Francesca was trying to push him behind the counter. He couldn't remember her ever being 'nice' like this before. This made Noah very suspicious. "So you're sure about this guy?" he asked curiously, still not turning to look at mystery stanger A. Then Francesca dared to utter the unmentionable thing. He grimaced slightly, attempting to glare at the same time. It wasn't working out too well for him. "I thought we agreed never to mention that again?"

Noah paused for a moment, a smile growing once again on his face. "Yes. Even more than that."

Opening her mouth to protest, she stopped, and knew he was unfortunately right. Rolling her eyes, she would be pretty entertained by him getting her back.

"It's either this or the girls bathroom. Go." Francesca snapped, glaring at him with a frown.
"Yes, I'm sure." She lied, forcing herself not to smile.
Looking at the stranger guy, the guy left, making a large smile slip on her lips.
"Now, do you believe me or not?" Francesca asked seriously, looking at him.

"Well. Things can always...slip, can't they?" She whispered, raising an eyebrow. Looking at him shocked at the next thing,"But you spend summers with them! Don't you talk to them then?".
