Ava sat down at a table outside next to a window so she can look inside. Since it was pretty warm this evening, she could sit outside and not get cold, but if it actually was cold, the indoors of the ice-cream parlour looked cozy and warm so she obviously would come in and sit down there.

She thanked and nodded politely towards the person that brought her the menu and opened it, trying to find her sister's favorite ice-cream that she always told the girl to try once she gets to Hogwarts: the raspberry flavored soft ice-cream. Kate absolutely loved those and as Ava's sister, she knew that Ava will as well, but instead she found something else. A praline version of the dessert. It looked delicious and Ava adored pralines. She ordered the dessert, closed her eyes and tried to relax.

The girl thought of the times she was living with her parents. Her sister and brother would always write her letters from the castle, talking about how great it was here, how they wished she could be with them, and of course, Kate always would write about the Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. 

Suddenly, something hit her in the back. It was cold and wet. She turned around, but couldn't see anyone. She looked at her robe, trying to identify what hit her. It was... snow. A snowball in the middle of April! Ava looked around, trying to find the person that threw it.

Alan had a wicked grin plastered on his lips, as he strolled through the Diagon Alley. He was so happy about his newest purchase, that he couldn't await trying them out. His purchase was of course something he bought from Weasley's Wizard Weezes. He shook his head slightly, it wasn't just something. It was something useful, something he could use for some pranks!

Alan was looking down to his tender hands, in which he was holding an enchanted snowball, that he bought for two sickles and fourteen knuts - all in all something cheap for the fun it could bring.
He looked around Diagon Alley, seeing Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. He instantly spotted the girl sitting outside on a table on her own. Was she alone? Why would someone eat ice cream without friends? That caught his curiousity and not knowing any other way to approach the blonde girl he threw the snowball in her direction and was quick to hide behind a tree.

He wouldn't even care wether he would get caught by her or not. He slightly hoped that she wouold notice him, because than at least they could build up a conversation. The thought that she might be angry at him, for throwing a snowball at her, didn't even crossed his mind and so he could barely contain a giggle, when he peeked out of his hiding spot to see her reaction.

Ava scanned the area around her carefully. Whoever it was that threw a snowball at her, she did not appreciate it. While trying to find them, she realized her dessert was all ready, waiting for her. "Thank you," she said politely and paid for the ice-cream, but for now she absolutely did not care at all (yes, you need this many adjectives describing how much). She scanned the area carefully and then realized that she was looking extremely strange. She shook out, smiled, took the ice-cream, and paid for it. Still looking around, she saw someone peeking out from behind a tree.

Ava slowly ate her dessert, trying to not take quick glances at the mysterious person. She stood up and walked away, making sure she could clearly see the person that threw the snowball. It was a boy, he was also wearing a Hogwarts robe that looked like he was from Gryffindor. She walked up behind him, trying to be as silent as possible.

"Boo." the girl said, driving her attention to the boy. "Did I scare you? You certainly did shock me with that snowball." Ava chuckled, looking at him again. Yes, indeed he was a Gryffindor. 

"My name is Ava. And yours?"
