There's a gatto in my gelato!
“It’s good you’re not alone, I think- that your cousins are here... I don’t think mine would be so keen to do that,” Scott laughed. “They’re very peculiar people, all of them... though I suppose they ought to be, most people are peculiar!”
He took a bite out of his ice cream cone and suffered the repercussions of a messy nose and flakes tumbling down his shirt because of it. He didn’t really care- he was thinking about what it would feel like to stay somewhere like the Leaky Cauldron all by himself. Maybe he would, some day, just to know... Bet he could meet even more peculiar people there, in all the different rooms.
“Ami?” Repeated Scott absent-mindedly, until the name itself snapped him back to reality. “Oh yes, Ami! Procoppio. She’s in Hufflepuff so I won’t blame you for not having met her yet, even though I bet you’d get along.
She’s my friend, yes, all great... family’s from there, actually. America. That’s why she’s taking me over the summer! It’ll be great. I don’t know what they call muggles over there, but I expect I’ll hear the word a lot: she’s talking about visiting all these muggle places!
Scott, getting excited, took another disastrous bite out of his ice cream cone. This time much of the flakes fell on top of Lady’s head- as she’d peaked it out curiously at the speeding up of her new friend’s voice.
”Still, it’s all just plans. Do you have any yet? Or at least any ideas on what you’ll be up to after the break?”

There's a gatto in my gelato!
[quote]”Well they have to, it is not as if they have much of a choice and they probably would not forgive themselves, if something would have happened to me!”, said Alan to continuously explain his current living situation to Scott, not knowing, if his friend even cared. But apparently he did care enough to continue the conversation with him. ”I don't think I ever met someone else from your family, except for that one time you pointed at your brother in the Great Hall, but I have not talked to him either...”, said Alan and shrugged with a small grin playing on his lips. He would love to meet Scott's family someday... maybe in the summer, if he had the time or well winter?
”Probably! If she is a friend of yours, she must be a nice person and I am sure if you like her, we would get along as well”, a soft nod, before he took a small bite from the ice cream cone and smiled slightly as his gaze dropped to the two cats. ”Do you know that Muggle movie with the two dogs? Just look at the two-” Alan had to snort slightly in amusement.
”I do not have any ideas for summer yet, I will see about that when it is summer- maybe my aunt plans to travel or something or maybe I could visit my parents; but I would have to fly all the way to America for that on my own, so I do not think that is possible...”

There's a gatto in my gelato!
When Alan mentioned not having spoken to his brother, Scott was about to let out a oh, you wouldn’t want to but luckily stopped himself in time for his friend to continue on talking. It wasn’t the sort of conversation he’d like to have at the moment, actually... ice cream and cats just, well, they deserve a better topic than that. America’s a good topic. A great one, even.
“So your parents are both away across the Atlantic, then? You’re right, I don’t know if I’d want to fly all the way there on my own, either. Must be a long journey! Because I assume you meant by plane... I’ve never been on one. Not once. But now that I come think of it, I don’t actually know how Ami plans to get us both over there... maybe I’ll finally get to fly in one!”
Again, the excitement in his voice caught Lady’s attention, and she jumped up to sit in his lap again. For the sake of her, Scott actually put his ice cream cone down for the moment being: placed it carefully on a small porcelain plate before him in order to be able and scratch her head.
Then his eyes went from her, to gazing happily over at all the whimsical shops, busy streets and the carefree people outside and around the four of them. He really wished his family would go here, to a Diagon Alley, more often: it was so different from the rest of London. Had to be!
Although, among all these carefree-looking people, two faces made themselves visible in the crowd and caught Scott’s immediate attention.
His mother was, with an alarmingly stern look on her face, pulling Ben with her along the cobbled streets by his upper arm... He seemed absolutely furious with her, too, but it looked as if it was mostly due to all the people she had him crash into with the package he was holding, what with the pace she kept.
Said package was long and brown- which meant, to Scott’s minor relief, that whatever he had done to upset her couldn’t have been enough to stop her buying him a broom.
Or maybe he’d just done it after it was bought.
Scott chose to trust in the former.
“You know who I can see? My mother! And brother... you’ll recognise him. Oh, but I think that means it’s time to leave... I’ll have to make sure they find me.”
Scott gave a sad smile back to his friend, and to the kitten still playing about their chairs. He didn’t actually feel like leaving, to be perfectly honest... not only did neither his mother nor brother seem to be in anything but a bad mood, he hadn’t even finished his ice cream! He took it again, ushering for Lady to leave his lap so he could stand up.
“I’ll have to say goodbye for now, then!”
And then he did so. First to Alan, and then, after bending down to look under the table, to Tiger.
“We’ll see each other again, though, once we’re back in school. And so will these two! I don’t know what movie you were talking about earlier, but I bet they’ll be good friends anyway. And-“
Scott stopped himself suddenly. He’d moved his ice cream cone closer to him to lick it again, only to be met by a greyish powder having been smeared all over its previously delicious pink surface.
He took another, horrified look at the porcelain plate he’d just picked it up from.
Ashtray.
“Yuck!” Was all he exclaimed, before laughing as they walked away from their table, and he happily threw his ice cream in the bin.
