Lilith Moon

"Twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty!" Lilith set the last of the small crystals onto their display on the shelf and stood back to survey her work. She had a variety of small crystals on this shelf, designed to be used in spells but mainly for aura and chakra cleansing. Satisfied that the crystals were set up properly, she nodded and stepped away. She was heading for the tea wall to straighten some of the labels on the drawers of tea when the jingling of the bell over the door caused her to turn her head to the left to see who had entered. "Hello!" She exclaimed cheerfully at the sight of the vaguely familiar red-haired customer, "Welcome to Mystic Moon!"

[HEXED PRIVATE TO THEODORE NOTT]

Theodore. I need to talk to you, immediately. And if you did what Adrian says you did, so help you-

[HEXED PRIVATE TO ALL CLOSE FRIENDS EXCEPT ADRIAN PUCEY]

I think I may have screwed things up with Adrian and I. Damnit!

[/HEXED PRIVATE TO ALL CLOSE FRIENDS EXCEPT ADRIAN PUCEY]

Since Adrian had cooked dinner for her on their first date, Lilith had wanted to do something nice for him on their second date. She'd spent much of the day cooking in the kitchen until she had a beautiful dinner of pork chops and potatoes and salad for them to eat. From the moment she'd set the food down in front of him she'd had her fingers crossed that he'd like it. Luckily for her, he'd eaten the whole thing with no sign of a grimace or a frown. It wasn't that she thought she was a bad cook, it'd just been so long since she'd cooked for someone else.

Proud at her achievement, Lilith set down her fork and smiled over at Adrian. "So, how was your dinner, Ade?"

Truth be told, Theodore had expected things to have changed a little more during his absence but as he walked down Diagon Alley for the first time in years, he found himself facing many familiar sights: there was the bustle of people hurrying to and fro as if their life depended on it, there were the sounds (loud, too bloody loud for his taste), the smells (too strong, hadn't these imbeciles ever heard of personal hygiene?) and the sights that made him feel like he was a little boy again, stumbling after his father and gaping at the sights.

As it was, it wasn't too long before Theodore's feet brought him to his favourite haunts: 'Flourish and Blotts' which was shortly followed by 'Classic Cauldrons' and 'Slug and Jigger's Apothecary'. However, halfway between crossing the street the Slytherin's eyes caught a flash of red hair in a shop and though his first thought was of 'Ew, Weasley', a closer look quickly dissuaded him. This red mane didn't belong to the youngest weasel. It belonged to a woman who looked suspiciously like one of the best friends he had had in school.

Wearing a bright smile Theodore decided to post-pone his visit to the apothecary (he could get the potions-ingredients for his aunt another day) and entered the 'Mystic Moon'.

It had been several days since Adrian had encountered her and Theo in her flat. Days since he'd made several sarcastic remarks before nearly storming out of her apartment. Days since her head had ached for hours after seeing the strong emotions playing over his aura.

It had also been several days since Adrian had spoken to her. And to be honest, Lilith was getting angry. What right did he have to make assumptions about her like that, and then storm out and ignore her like they weren't good friends. Daily she could feel her temper (that famed Irish temper) rising, fueled by the fact that she was trapped here, and that the man she had feelings for had been ignoring her for days. And then finally, it got the best of her.

She slammed down the package of tea she had been filling, and hurried towards her front door. A swift flick of her wand and the sign flipped from open to close. The door flew open in front of her and slammed shut behind her as she stormed straight across the street. She didn't even bother to physically open the door to his shop, merely jabbed her wand at it and sent it thumping open. She strode right into the shop and up to the counter where he stood. Her bright red hair hung in wisps about her face, and her cheeks were flushed with the same anger that caused her Irish brogue to suddenly become much thicker as she exclaimed, "Adrian Pucey, what is yer problem? It's been days since I've seen ye, and ye've been ignorin' me like I'm not a friend o' yers anymore!"

"Meeeoooow!"

Lilith raised an eyebrow and glanced down at the white cat that was currently twining around her ankles. "Moon, I just fed you and Night an hour ago! You can't be hungry already?"

Contrary to Lilith's remarks, Moon twitched her tail and then jumped up onto the counter in one powerful leap; nearly scattering the tea leaves Lil was working on. "Watch it, you little minx. This is a brand new blend I'm working on and I don't want it ruined." Frustrated with the cat or not, she still raised her hand and began to rub it down the cat's back.

Just as the cat began to purr in satisfaction, the bell above the door rang and both Lilith and Moon looked up in interest to see the door open and a familiar face come in.

"Adrian!" Lilith exclaimed happily.
