An Unplanned Feast

Barzini happily skipped to Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, his pocket slightly bulging from the pouches of Galleons in it.

He walked towards the counter and said excitedly, "A chocolate ice cream. The biggest that you have!"

He saw that the ice cream parlour was empty other than him, and he suddenly felt lonely...

Ariadne entered the Ice Cream Parlour to recognise a Ravenclaw boy from school.
"Hey," she said cheerfully. "Mind if I join you?"

"No problem!"Barzini said and sat down, waiting for his ice cream.

That Gryffindor girl was VERY familiar, he's seen her around class and corridors.

He gestured at the seat opposite of him.

Ari seated herself as indicated and grinned. "The ice creams here are actually enormous," she commented. "How anyone could eat a whole one is beyond me." She reconsidered this. "Well, maybe not one... but I've seen people who can eat like, four, and I'm just like... okay."

Barzini gulped. He was the kind who could DEVOUR ice creams easily. But he never seems to gain weight no matter how much he ate... So...

"So true isn't it?" Barzini managed a smile, and asked,"Order something!"

Maria poked her head round. "Hey Barzini-chan, Ariadne-chan, I can't believe you didn't notice me!" she said teasingly. Beside her, there was a massive sundae of every flavour imaginable.

"Ah! Maria! Join us!" Barzini gestured to another seat and smiled.

"Ice cream of all flavours for all three of us!" Barzini said loudly and smiled.

"Gotta love ice cream!" Maria said enthusiastically. She had her bag full of books again. "I've been hunting down more manga, I've read all of these."

"You'd be better off reading textbooks." Barzini sighed and tapped his fingers on the table.

Maria childishly poked her tongue out at him. "And what makes you think I want to read textbooks, O Great and Perfect One of Ravenclaw?"

Aurelie walked into the Ice Cream Parlor and saw Ari, Emilio and Maria in the parlor. "Guys!" she said excitedly. "Hi Emilio! Hi Maria! Hi Ari."

"Hey Aurie! Join us!" Barzini waved cheerfully and motioned for her to sit down along with the other two.

"Care for some ice cream? My treat!" Barzini grinned and laughed.
