Cold Nights
21st August, 2018
Darcy swiftly ran into the Leaky Cauldron with dripping wet boots, her nose and cheeks red with cold. It wasn't snowing outside, but piercingly cold and wet with ice. She was wearing a warm, navy blue coat with a blue bunny sweater underneath, as well as black boots and thick woollen pants. She walked up to the counter and got out some of her sickles and knuts. She had little to spend, but just enough for a nice cup of hot chocolate. After collecting it, she picked up the warm mug and brought it to her face, then took a sip of the warm, chocolatey beverage. The warmth immediately coming to her felt beautiful and she felt completely carefree.
She had come to the Leaky Cauldron a few days before she would be going to Hogwarts to think about everything that was to happen. The warm steam from her hot chocolate circled around her face, fading the redness on her cheeks and nose. She sat down at an empty table near the window and sighed, relaxing. She gazed out at the icy Diagon Alley. There was frost on the windows and a thin layer of ice in areas it had rained that morning. After finishing her drink she sat, gazing at the candlelight. After another twenty minutes, she finally left back into the icy cold of the street.
