Holiday Cheer (Freya)

Lucifer sat in the Leaky Cauldron watching the snow fall down while sipping a butter beer. He tried to ignore several drunks in the booth behind him but he couldn't and soon his mind drifted back to when he was a little boy and his father was drunk out of his mind bringing the whip out.... He closed his eyes tightly and thought of a happy memory of when he was finally able to escape his family and moved out to a small town in Northern Ireland. Taking a deep breath he went back to looking out the window. He kind of hated that he had no one around to spend the holidays with though he was not an out going person and well spent most of his time throwing himself in his job.

He watched a few older students walk in and grab a butter beer and sit down he smiled softly at how happy they seemed to be on break for the holidays. He wished his childhood was like that though if it was he wouldn't be where he was right now. Sighing he finished his drink and well just decided to wait out what now was a winter storm.

She really wanted to go home. But it was snowing a lot and the Leaky Cauldron was closer. And she was freezing.
So Freya entered in the Leaky in order to get at least a little bit warmer but the Leaky was full, there is literally no place to sit. The place was full of students who were so happy because the school was finally over and they came here to celebrate.

Freya looked around and saw one boy sitting alone and she figured out she could ask him to sit there because she really wasn't ready to go out on the snow again.
She approached him with the bright smile on her face.
"Hi, sorry for bothering you but all places are taken so, would you mind if I sit here?" she looked at him while waiting for the answer.

Lucifer looked up when someone approached. "Yeah sure." He answered her with a slight smile. Inwardly he was happy that someone asked to sit with him though he was happy to be alone. The little pub had filled up because of the storm so he knew she was asking to sit there as there was no where else to sit. He waved a bartender over and ordered a coffee for himself and well seeing she had a drink he didn't bother offering to get her one.

He rubbed the back of his head slightly he was not good at socializing but part of him wanted someone to talk to for a little bit even if he sucked at it. He was lonely and well maybe she could break the his self in forced solitude. He could really use a friend after all.

"Thank you a lot." Freya smiled and sat next to him. "This place is full" she shook her head and took a sip of hot chocolate. He didn't seem like someone who would like to talk so she forced herself to stay quiet and not bother him. The last thing she needed is someone telling her to go away.
But it would be nice to have someone to talk with. Freya has almost no one. She just found a job and she didn't know anyone there yet.

She looked at him and smiled. It's now or never. Maybe she could try talking to him.
"I am Freya, by the way. Thank you again for letting me sit here" she smiled.

"Lucifer, so are you new to this part of the world." He didn't know if that was rude frankly he had rarely any experience talking to others due to being locked up as a child during the parties that his family had held. Being the black sheep of the family really did him no favors but he was not going to conform any time soon.

Being a way from the rest of his family really was a blessing as he no longer had to hear what a disappointment he was to them. He took a sip from his coffee and studied the young lady in front of him.

Freya smiled and looked at him. "It is nice to meet you, Lucifer" she just couldn't help herself. She was friendly, she could talk even with strangers without any problem.
"No. I live here since forever. But now I got the job at Hogwarts so I guess I'll be there from now on." She shrugged and looked at her drink.

She never thought that she will become the professor, and even worse, head of one of four houses there. She just wasn't good with children. Hell, she was just 20 years old, she became adult two years ago. But she needed the job and she was ready to take whatever she got.

"I don't often come to places like this but it is raining outside and the Leaky was the first bar I saw."
