"Table for two, please."

Bess smiled at the waitress and followed her to a small booth on the side of the restaurant, providing her with a grin as she put down her bag and sat. She'd woken up this morning, feeling as if the birds were whistling just for her. Her conversation with Fabian last night had given her such good dreams, and they passed on to her morning, and hopefully the rest of her day. There was just something about that boy that she couldn't resist, and even after she ranted and raved about him for hours, days, weeks, once Bess knew Fabian was smiling at her in that way...

She bristled in that good way, the shivers Fabian always gave her brought back to life at the thought that he'd be here soon. 12:25, she was a little bit early, but it couldn't be helped. Today was September 1st, and for seven years of her life (more, because of her siblings--) it had been the start of the new year for her. For most of the wizarding community! September 1st, head off to Hogwarts, make new friends, rekindle old relationships, and just be excited for what was to come. That's how she felt, right now. Fabian had picked a good day to try and woo her back; maybe the first of September will take on a new kind of meaning? Bess hoped so as she smoothed out her shirt.

12:28.

She didn't even know if this was going to go any further than they had already. Bess wasn't sure if she was ready to move back in with Fabian, but for the first time in weeks she had the feeling of hope that it could one day happen again. Fabian was the best thing that had happened to her in a long, long time, so---that was the reason she kept giving him chances. He'd made her happy when nothing else could.

Bess smiled to herself, pulling open the napkin wrapped around her utensils. Her eyes shot up and saw that the clock read 12:30, and as soon as it did the door jingled. Fabian, her mind shouted, and Bess leaned over and out of the booth to look to the door with the widest of grins on her face.

But it wasn't Fabian. Bess' eyebrows rose as her smile twitched from happy to confused at the sight of her sister Veronica, and...Alastor? Moody? Why was she coming in here with her creepy boyfriend? Veronica spotted Bess in the booth and her pace quickened, and Bess' heart stopped. For the first time she heard the noise of the wireless in the background of the restaurant...someone had turned it up as the news was reporting...

Attack on the Platform....two dead...

She blinked slowly and shook her head before her sister could say anything. Bess wasn't sure how she knew, but she did, and her eyes darted back to the clock.

No, no---she'd give Fabian a few minutes to show up.
