Brier!
Sarah tried not to lean too far over the counter, in fear that her elbows would slip and she'd clunk her chin into the wood. It was hard not to, though, because Brier had stopped by the Three Broomsticks before picking up his son, and he was talking to her. He had helped her out so much with the visa situation and then he'd shown up for a little bit at the Equinox book release (which had thankfully not been affected by the new ministry rulings---) and then he'd invited her to his friend's baby's party!
Phew, that was a whole lot of stuff to be smiley about.
Sarah listened excitedly as Brier talked about his day (she had asked! Being a solicitor was so interesting to her!), grinning widely as he went on. The weather outside was awful, but hopefully it would clear up enough for him to pick up Rory without much of a mess. And maybe she could take her break around the same time and just casually offer to walk down the street to the daycare with him! That would work splendidly!
"I really would love a job in the Ministry," she said, but before she could the lights above their heads dimmed out quickly. All the flames of the candles were blown as the wind from outside threw the front doors of the restaurant open. Sarah frowned, jumping back from the counter to hurry around and shut the doors, "Looks like we're not in Kansas any---"
Her joke was lost as some of the patrons leaped out of their seats and began to scream. Sarah had no idea what could be causing such a commotion, but the cry of death eaters made her freeze in place. What--what---her eyes caught sight of the cloaked figures through the windows and she gasped in shock, "Shut the doors!"
