to find peace (open)

Tessa entered Madam Puddifoot's, a place that had been one of her favorites. She believed that it made anything that may have been bad in the world end up being good. Taking a seat at the closest table, she needed the peace. Ordering herself a Sunset Tea with Cookie, and she wanted to find a way to relieve stress. Upon the arrival of her tea, Tessa took a sip. Before she took a glance at the room curious to see what was going on. Hoping someone would join her.

On a lunch break, Mildred decided she was going to treat herself to some tea. It was always stressful dealing with the more intense cases in the various wards of St. Mungo's. She found it quite sad that so many people were getting sick or injured, but she'd be out of a job if such occurrences didn't take place. Seeing an open seat near a woman, Mildred decided to join her. Who knows, maybe she'll make a friend outside of work for once.

Tessa had been enjoying her tea as she watched the people enter in and out. The girl enjoyed seeing people who had looked happy and didn't have to deal with the stress. Letting out a small smile as she had seen someone come over to her, she let out a small smile as she knew it would be nice to make some sort of friend. She smiled at the girl who had joined her. "They make some of the best tea here at this adorable place. And I know it's for couples, but you don't have to be a couple to enjoy yourself. Because us women all enjoy some sort of tea to sip." she said giving the lady a small smile.

"My name is Tessa, by the way. I am the Care for Magical Creatures Professor at Hogwarts. Beautiful things are magical creatures, you know and they are just so adorable." Tessa said thinking about creatures and all their attributes that had been part of their personality and she let out a small sigh, knowing she probably sounded like a crazy woman.

She looked up at the other woman. "I've heard. I haven't been here in years. It's quite hard to go out and about frequently when your job requires you to be able to respond to any sort of emergency," Mildred replied with a small chuckle. She nodded in agreement. "I do grow tired of drinking the same old Earl Grey to relax myself."

Mildred greeted, "Nice to meet you, Tessa. I'm Mildred, and I'm a healer at St. Mungo's. Quite an important and thankless job, isn't it?" She listened to the other. "I'm glad you're able to find enjoyment in your job. I've heard from a co. worker of mine that the student body there isn't so great. Very different from when I attended years ago."
