Sariss entered the Great Hall and went to the Slytherin table to have breakfast. She was particularly cheerful that day because Seb and she would be going on a little trip to Hogsmeade later. Unless it had been shopping for school supplies or working in the Magical Menagerie, Sariss had never been in Hogsmeade. The little visit she'd paid to Mr Dervish once had been during a little break from work, so it would be nice to stroll around Hogsmeade just for fun.

She sat down at the table and poured herself some orange juice and buttered a piece of toast.

Seb entered the Great Hall yawning. He hated mornings. Always had, always will. But, he had a reason to get up and not sleep in. As he saw Sariss sat at the table, he made his way over to her.

"Good morning," He said, as he sat down beside her. "All ready for a day of fuuuuun? I have money, and I'm not afraid to spend it."

He took a piece of toast off the rack in front of him, and leant over to pick up the butter. "Not feeling up to eating, I'll just have a few bites out of it." Seb said, as he then poured some juice into a goblet.

"Did you sleep well then?" Seb enquired, then took a bite out of his toast.

Seb joined Sariss shortly later and greeted her cheerfully. That was a miracle in itself since he wasn't exactly famous for being talkative and even a bit bubbly in the mornings. Sariss grinned. This day would surely be a lot of fun.

He took a piece of toast and then asked, "Did you sleep well then?"

"I woke up much too early today," Sariss admitted with a slight blush. "That's why I'm in here so early." She indicated the Great Hall where only very few students were already sat at their respective tables. It was quite early indeed. Sariss should be tired, but she was far too excited. "Miraculously, I'm not even tired. How about you? It's rather early for you to be up too."

"Miraculously, I'm not even tired. How about you? It's rather early for you to be up too." Sariss asked Seb.

"Oh, He said, shrugging, "I went to sleep real early, so I got my share of the day. You need to remind me to request a pet also, today. A parrot, I think. That would be really cool!"

He took a few more bites out of his toast, and helped them on their way down with a gulp of orange juice.

"I also want to visit Zonko's too. Do you need to go anywhere before we stop off at The Three Broomsticks?" Seb asked her after he wiped crumbs from his mouth with his sleeve. Bad habit, but he is male, after all.

"A parrot. Okay, I'll keep that in mind," Sariss said when Seb ate some toast and drank from his goblet.

"I also want to visit Zonko's too. Do you need to go anywhere before we stop off at The Three Broomsticks?" He wiped a few crumbs from his mouth.

Sariss shook her head. "No, I don't have to go anywhere in particular. So I guess you'll just have to show me around. I was at the Three Broomsticks only once before and never even went near Zonko's or Honeydukes. Never had the time, nor the company to. I don't like going to Hogsmeade alone unless it's for business. I guess I'm one of those people who are unable to have fun on their own." She shrugged and shoved a bite of toast into her mouth.

" Gooooooood morningggggggg.."

"I've never been in the Three Broomsticks neither," Seb told Sariss, "But there is always a first time for everything."

Seb finished his juice as Sariss took a bite out of her breakfast. "Well, if you don't have nowhere to go, I guess it's just follow me then. I wonder if Uncle Dervish has his new stock in yet? I want to buy a wizards chess set still. True, I dont know how to play."

Only because it needs skill, and organisation. Which you have none of.

"Oh, good morning, Clow! Hope you're well?" He turned back to Sariss. "Well, i'm ready when you are, mate!"

Clow answered Seb, " yep, well and healthy. I'm just gonna take one bread and head to lakefront. Bye you two !. "

She took her breakfeast and went away.

"Oh, good morning, Clow! Hope you're well?" He turned back to Sariss. "Well, I'm ready when you are, mate!"

"Good morning, Clowie!" Sariss said cheerfully and took another sip from her goblet, thus emptying it.

"Oh, that chess set. I'd still love to have one too... Or a pack of Exploding Snap cards. Never got around to play it. I'd need to be taught how to play... Um... bye, Clow," she babbled. Clow always appeared as if out of nowhere and was gone within the blink of an eye again.

Sariss turned back to Seb. "As for chess..." she continued. "I know the basic rules but don't have much practice. Maybe we can figure it out together?"

She smiled and got up, grabbing her bag that was very light today. There was no point in carrying a stack of books around when they were going to Hogsmeade just for fun.

"Ready?" she asked.

!Ready?" she asked him as she stood up and picked up her bag, which looked relatively light today.

"Ready as I'll ever be this early in the morning." Seb replied as he stood up. "Well then, tally-ho!" He said, pointing towards the Great Hall doors. Opening the door for her, they both left and headed towards the enterance of the Castle towards Hogsmeade for the day.
