London Calling
Interacting with @Matrix Kaida
She smiled to him. "We'll grab a quick sandwich and eat it on the go, love," she smiled to him. Together they left the Tower of London and walked down the streets towards Tower Hill station, getting on the London Underground once again. They headed to the correct platform and waited for the next train, as either it being District Line or Circle Line would take them where they needed to go. They only had to wait a minute before they saw the lights of the train and she smiled, still loving this muggle transportation deal. How could they get so good at their technology that in essence - they created their own magic!
The train came closer and in yellow text it revealed it was the Circle Line and the two got on as the doors opened. They rode it until Embankment Station where they got off. She led the way, but instead of walking right to the London Eye she stopped in a small cafe where the two got a sandwich and a drink to take with them on their seven minute walk to the London Eye. "I've heard the view is breathtaking," she said. "You get to see all of London, from Big Ben to Westminster, and even some of the City of London itself," the heart of the city.
Once there, the line was HUGE but Matrix pulled out tickets that were already purchased ahead of time. "You would have made a good Ravenclaw," she smiled to him and looked up at the large structure that stood 442 feet over the River Thames.
Let your confidence shine, pretty girl.

Alina would suggested that they just get a sandwich on the way. Matrix would nod at this, they could get something quick, and not waste to much time. They would go back to the London Underground and take the circle line. Alina really seemed to know what she was doing. Matrix was thankful for this, because he had not memorized all the lines.
They would get off at Embankment Station. Once he arrived, he could see the London eye in the distance. It seemed to be about 10 minutes away by walk, not bad. But first, they would stop by a café. It was not far off the route, lucky that it was this close. Matrix would order his sandwich and water. Alina would tell him about the view from up there. Matrix would nod enthusiastically. He had heard many things about it, and could not wait to experience it himself.
They would then arrive at the London eye and the line waiting for it would stretch very far. Matrix would let out a sigh, but then remember about the tickets he had bought earlier. He would pull them out and hand Alina, hers. She would say that he would of made a good Ravenclaw. Matrix would smile at this. “You would of made a better one. Your knowledge over this city is amazing.” Matrix would say kind of quietly. He did not want to attract any unnecessary muggle attention.
They would skip the main line, but would still have to wait in a way smaller line. He was not the only one who had thought ahead. Once they reached the front of the line, the London Eye employee, would guide them to their seat. Matrix would hold the cart’s door for Alina before going in himself. He would grin, exited.

Sorry for such a late response, I have been busy with school and stuff. I will try to be more active in the future.

The compartment could fit like twenty people inside but there weren't nearly that many. There was a couple with their young, but well behaved child and that was it. Alina sat down and glanced around before soon realizing that one didn't need to just sit for the duration of this experience. The visitors of the London Eye were encouraged to get up and move around, as long as they didn't lean against the doors.
It didn't take long before their compartment began to rise up from the platform and toward the sky. "Oh wow," she said, heading toward the edge of where the windows were and motioned him over. Up it went, higher and higher into the air and they could see all of London.
"This is even better than being in my father's helicopter," she said, liking that they were high above everything and yet not so high that they couldn't actually make anything out. There was Big Ben and parliament, the London Bridge. It was a beautiful city from here and she was glad she got to have this experience.
"Paris had one for a short time but it left in 2002, I believe. Shame. I would love to see my capital city in this sort of aspect." She herself was originally from France.
Let your confidence shine, pretty girl.
