[font=Monotype Corsiva]Enzo walked into the Leaky Cauldron by himself with one of his hands clenched in a fist containing a handful of pocket change. He had sort of snuck out of the place he was staying at since his mother had gone out for the day, so technically speaking he wasn't supposed to be there but he didn't really care since it was way too boring to stay in the flat for the whole entire day. It wasn't at all like his house back in France, since it was an apartment that is family were renting for the summer so it had no front or backyard for him to get a proper breath of fresh air, and only had a small and in his mind a dreary balcony. His mother had taken him to Diagon Alley and the Leaky Cauldron a few times beforehand so pretty much knew his way around but it wasn't guaranteed that he wouldn't get lost.

He was fully aware of the fact that he would get into a lot of trouble if his mother found out that he was roaming 'all over the place' by himself in an area where he had hardly ever visited... their apartment wasn't too far at all, but heck she would be mad if it was even in their own city and streets. The best way to make sure that he would get home before her was to just keep an eye on the time, which still wasn't much of a conformation that everything would turn out okay since she could get home early and such so this was definitely risky. If he was completely honest it was actually much more amusing to go out when it was not allowed since it made him feel slightly on edge and he would get a small rush of adrenaline which for some reason was rather exciting for him.

Enzo stopped in front of the menu and started examining what they were offering then sifted through the change he had and counted it to see if he had enough to actually purchase anything. As he was counting the coins some of them accidentally slipped through his fingers and went plummeting to the ground and rolled underneath and into a few crevices in the floor. He grumbled in annoyance at his own clumsiness and the ruckus he had just made. He started backing up with his gaze pinned to the floor searching for the coins not looking where he was going at all.

Date: August 19th, 2020
Backdated to the summer
OCC: I hope you don't mind me adding a date and if there's a problem with the date then just owl me and I'll change it.


Charles Alluring, the youngest son of Aaron and Jessica Alluring and younger brother of Andrew Alluring not to mention his grandparents, Aunt and her sons which are his cousins. Charles hated his surname, he hated his family as he wished so much that he wasn't a part of their awful family, that they would just disowned him already and get it over with instead of lecture to Charles and punish for claims of not being a good soon or whatever not that Charles cared. He looked at his situation as he was a good son or whatever, he had friends and even through he hated Dumstrang it wasn't as bad as being at home where his family dotted on Andrew and calmed him to be the perfect son while Charles was second rated or always blamed for stuff that he didn't even do something so he just started not caring about it anymore and letting it be.

However during that summer, on August 10th to be more exact Charles got a amazing surprise. He met his cousins; Henry, Annabeth, and Arthur Knight and their father for the first time which was great since they shared his views with muggles and muggle borns being equal, they didn't care about blood purity,
and they weren't snobby pureblood's like his family but sadly they exchanged a few words with his grandfather and Charles never seen or heard from them again. What made things worse was Charles was punished for speaking our during the meeting and "embarrassing" the family so Charles had enough and left.

Since he only lived in Durham, England which was close enough to the leaky cauldron that's where Charles went and has been staying their since August 12th. The almost thirteen year old was coming down the stairs of the leaky cauldron from his room with a letter in his hand, the letter was from his mother probably the only person who even cared the slightest for Charles to write to him and ask him the come home, the letter was also in French and the handwriting was neat slightly titled lettering.
Dear Charles,


Son please come home, your father and I miss you dearly and were both worried sick about you. We understand why you left but please come back, your grandfather sees the awful events in that meeting as your uncle Luke and his children's fault, not yours so you won't be punished if you return. But Charles seriously running away like this is immature and childish not to mention reckless so please honey come back to the manor and all will be forgiven. I figured your at the Leaky Cauldron and I could even meet you their if you like to talk like we use to when you were younger, do you remember that honey?

Please send a reply soon, we all miss you dearly and look forward to your return soon from your reckless and immature trip to the leaky cauldron.


Yours dearly, Mother, Jessica Alluring
Charles just reach the bottom step as he felt his blood boil and anger rose, he couldn't believe that his mother was writing to him to ask him to come home after everything his grandfather and father said to him before he left, the last thing Charles would want is to go back home as he continued to hold the letter tightly which crinkled it a bit in his right hand and walk through the leaky cauldron not really paying attention on where he was going.

From a outsider Charles overall seemed like a attractive boy with blonde slightly curry hair and light blue eyes, matched with pale but also tanish skin from staying out in the sun for to long most days. The boy was in blue jeans, a light blue shirt which was hidden beneath his light blue or grey type hoodie that was prompting a muggle sport and apparently it was one if the shirts that his family hated him to wear which was probably why he wore it.

With his eyes glued to the paper and his height of 5 feet and 5 inches he didn't see the smaller boy with reddish or blondish hair that he almost ran over. Charles looked up after he bumped into the kid who looked to be a year younger than him and definitely shorter as he stuffed the letter into the pocket of his jeans before speaking " I'm sorry about that," noticing that he spoke in Russian,
Charles quicky fixed that as he spoke in English with a mix of a proper English and Russian accent " I'm sorry about that," Charles then saw the boy was looking at some coins that he guessed he dropped so Charles bended down as he spoke " here let me help you with those."

Charles reach over and picked up all the coins the kid dropped before speaking again " here you go, I'm Charles or Charlie. Whichever you prefer I don't have a preference," Charles then noted that he didn't have many coins at least the ones that he dropped and Charles sort of stole quite a few from his grandfather so he spoke again " do you have more coins than this? Because the stuff here is quite expensive and this isn't enough to really buy anything here but I could pay for something for you if you like?"

[font=Monotype Corsiva]Enzo out of nowhere felt someone bump into him. With his back turned to them he lost his balance slightly and extended his arms out to stabilize himself. He assumed he must have looked a tad awkward standing in that odd position for a couple seconds. Once he was steady he whipped around to see who had bumped into him with a small scowl spread across his face. He looked upwards to see a boy much taller than him staring down and apologizing to him for the little collision. Then the boy bent down and picked up his coins and then handed them back to Enzo while introducing himself as Charles. Unfortunately, Enzo did not reciprocate the introduction and took the coins back and muttered a tiny "Thanks" under his breath while checking to make sure that there weren't any more coins that he hadn't seen still on the ground.

Charles had noticed his lack of money and kindly offered to pay for him. A typical person would be very grateful and appreciate this nice gesture and either accept or decline politely, but for some reason, Enzo took it as Charles pitying him. His face hardened a little bit more and his free hand started clutching the end of the sleeve of his light khaki green crew neck sweater in frustration as he grumbled to himself in french "I don't need your pity money garçon. I'm not a freaking charity case"

Was it wrong of him to act like this? Yes. Was he overreacting? Definitely. He was taking this token of kindness in the wrong way. The boy was merely inquiring if he wanted some more money so he could purchase something to eat, and it was probably done out of pure goodwill, but Enzo couldn't help it, everyone had always given him unwanted sympathy from the time he was a young boy (or actually a younger boy) for some reason or another, which wasn't something that should annoy him and it certainly didn't excuse this backwards notion of his. But the other boy probably didn't even know french so really, there was no harm done. Well, at least that's what he thought. He suspected that Charles was still waiting for him to answer so he took a deep breath and sort of hissed out in a slightly sarcastic tone with his french accent fairly prominent "No, I'm quite alright"[/font]

Charles kept his smile and nodded when the boy mumbled what sounded like a thanks but when he insulted Charles's offer in french that gave him a idea as he spoke in french " if your going to insult someone then make sure they don't know the language," his french was surprising good for someone that rarely spoke it but he kept speaking the language for the younger boy seemed to be more comfortable in it as he continued " but don't worry about it, I'm sure lots of people made the same mistake and sorry for offering to buy you something, I now see now that can be taken wrongly. No hard feelings," Charles looked at the boy and smiled as he spoke again " and I didn't offer to buy you something from pity, I offered because I stole some coins from my grandfather and father a few days ago and have no idea what to spend it on."

Charles only told the boy because he figured he will be one to like that sorry of thing, maybe anyway Charles held his hands in his pockets as he continued " not that they would miss it since they have more money than brains," Charles rolled his eyes at the mention of his family he really did hate then before saying again " so what do you say, want to have a round or two with me? I'll pay."

[font=Monotype Corsiva]Enzo's eyes widened and his jaw dropped ever so slightly as Charles began speaking back to him in french. Crap...
That was awkward. Frankly, he was floored that this boy spoke french. What were the odds? But Enzo was way too stubborn to apologize so he just stared at him uneasily.

In addition to this embarrassing surprise, Enzo was puzzled as to how come the older boy wasn't angry at him. If someone had insulted him in another language so he wouldn't understand we would have been pretty furious. He was even smiling? Never in a million years would Enzo have expected a reaction like this.

On the outside, Enzo's facial expression didn't actually change but if did his lips would have curled into a small and sly smirk as he was told that the money that Charles had was taken from his rich pureblood family. After this revelation, Enzo's perspective on Charles started to reform. Perhaps this boy was ok after all.
After a few moments of re-contemplating his offer, he spoke up.
"You know what... sure"
He finally agreed to having a round with Charles with a small nod.
He supposed that he should probably introduce himself if he was going to be continuing to speak or dine with this boy so he added a little bit reluctantly "By the way I am Enzo"

Charles smiled as the younger boy agreed to a round or two of drinks, he always enjoyed meeting or talking to new people which he found could easily get on others nerves so when the boy agreed that made this social butterfly beyond happy except he didn't show it and instead kept his cool as he had a blank face like he was taught for years at his home with a smile upon his face, something that would usually get him into trouble. Charles gestured to the bar as he again spoke in French " sounds good, I was a bit worried there that I won't be able to waste all the money I stole," Charles moved closer to the bar before asking the boy " what will you like" while he waited for the boy to answer he decided to order some drinks in the meantime as he waved a sever to them and spoke in English with a mix of a English and Russian accent " two butterbeers and a round of fire whiskey," the sever nodded as he went to prepare the drinks.

With Charles height and mature look he gave off the impression that he was older than he actually was which explain how he was able to do or get things that kids his age usually wouldn't be allowed to do or get. Charles then turned to the boy who introduced himself as Enzo in which Charles gave him a slight nod as well as a smile before speaking " nice to meet you Enzo, so what brings you to the leaky cauldron," Charles saw that by his looks and height Enzo seemed to he young, probably a year younger than him but he didn't let bother him since looks can be deceiving,
it was with him.

The sever bought the two butterbeers and fire whiskey in which Charles took a few coins from him pocket and handed it to the sever to the sever to pay for the drinks before taking one of the glasses with fire whiskey and gulping it down in one gulp. Charles then placed the empty glasses back on the bar top and looked over at Enzo as he spoke " ever had fire whiskey before? Your in for a treat if you haven't, just make sure not to say your age around here since minors aren't technically suppose to order this stuff."

[font=Monotype Corsiva]Enzo gave Charles what appeared to be almost half of a smile which was more than he gave most folk when Charles told him that he was worried that he wouldn't be able to spend all of the money he stole. Enzo contemplated his reply for a few moments and watched Charles order the drinks before actually answering. "Just the drinks should be good for now" He told him with the smallest hint of excitement in his voice as the server began to prepare the drinks.

"What brings me to the leaky cauldron? Well... out of boredom, I suppose. I hate being cooped up indoors all day" He admitted but failing to mention the fact that he was there without any permission. "And what about you?" He asked curiously.

Enzo watched as Charles reached for a glass that the waiter brought then chugged it down in one go, then assumed that he should do the same so he took the glass and brought it to his lips but then was asked if he had ever tried it before. He shook his head. "No, never" he spoke out quietly.
He had often a time specifically wanted to try this butterbeer drink but it was yet another thing that his parents had not allowed and so if they didn't let him have butterbeer there was no point in even asking about fire whiskey. Enzo then lifted the glass higher and tilted his head back taking a sip of the drink. His eyes narrowed a tiny bit as he downed the liquid feeling a small burning sensation at the back of his throat. He stayed with this facial expression for a few seconds longer before letting a small chuckle slip out and then said "That was really good"

Charles heard his reply to be just the drinks and gave him a small smile before taking a slip of the butterbeer, it wasn't as good as the fire whiskey but still also he guess good which allowed him to say " have you ever had butterbeer? It's pretty good but fire whiskey is definitely the better of the two," Charles picked up another glass of fire whiskey and tilted it into his mouth as he took one gulp before running a hand through his hair and placing the glass back on the counter just in time to hear Enzo's answer and question in which Charles spoke " boredom uh? Then maybe after a couple drinks I can show you a few places in diagon alley that are a wicked good time," Charles then thought about his own answer and gave a half smile before speaking again " I'm here because I had enough of my family and so I took some money and left, I'm staying here till the start of school."

Charles figured that the boy probably thought he sounded like a rebel or something not only that with his height he looked to be around 13 or 14 even 15 in some cases but all three were wrong since he was 12 who would turn 13 in November not that it matter anyway Charles still figured he should ask the boy his age or something, like how normal conversations work as he watched him take a shot of fire whiskey before saying that it was really good, in which Charles playful slap him on the shoulder as he spoke " I thought you would like it Enzo, it's not for everyone but it definitely has a kick," Charles then waved down the sever as he spoke " another round of fire whiskey."

After the sever left to get the fire whiskey, Charles gave the boy a half smile before leaning on the counter and speaking " so I assume you go to school unless your a drop out?" Charles laughed a bit as he playful elbowed Enzo in the side before continuing " I'm guessing Beauxbatons? I'm I wrong?" Charles waited for the boy's answer before continuing " I go to Dumstrang myself, not that I enjoy it. I hate it actually, filled with nothing but sore losers and mustache growing jerks," Charles shook his head a bit before continuing " any school is better then Dumstrang even through many would disagree."

Charles then gave the boy a half smile before adding " do you like brooms or flying?" Charles waited for him to answer before adding " I love brooms or at least flying, the feeling of being so high and free it's just amazing," Charles gave another half smile before continuing " I wanted to be on the quidditch team for Dumstrang but I didn't make the cut," Charles thought back to his tryout for chaser where he was the fastest on the pitch, he didn't really pass the ball so they didn't bring him on but Charles then spoke " I am an broom racer for Dumstrang, I'm one of the fastest on the team," Charles then gave him another smile before taking another shot of fire whiskey and speaking again " however I will be racing with a school broom now since my idiot brother along with my father took my broom and snap it in half."

Charles hated to talk about that stuff, what focus on the bad or memories when there's life that could be living so Charles spoke again " so is there anything you want to specifically? Any trouble you want to cause or fun you want to have while your here?"

[font=Monotype Corsiva]Enzo shook his head once more when he was asked about butterbeer. He brought the glass back to his lips to take another sip of the drink as Charles offered to show him around Diagon Alley. One of Enzo's eyebrows rose a little bit in surprise "Thanks for the offer but I don't think that will be possible" He replied with a small sigh thinking about his mother which caused him to glance around for a clock but chose not to elaborate on what he meant and quickly moved on from the subject. "Hold on, you mean to tell me that you're staying here completely by yourself?" He asked in a rather shocked tone.

Enzo watched the waiter disappear behind the counter to fetch them more drinks then turned to look at Charles as the topic changed to school.
"What I don't sound British enough for you?" He asked in English and put on his best imitation of a British accent before he snickered slightly then switched back to French "Kidding, yes I am going to be attending Beauxbatons". He cocked an eyebrow as Charles informed him that he goes to Durmstrang. "A Durmstrang boy eh? Hmm, that's the first time I've ever heard anything bad about it. Wait so how come you know how to speak French fluently?"

"Indeed I do. I am quite fond of flying actually." He responded to his inquiry about brooms. Then Charles mentioned that he was a broom racer.
"I honestly don't like quidditch very much. I find it sort of boring, but Broom Racing on the other hand... I really like it. I am hoping to make the Beauxbatons team this year, and if I do perhaps we'll be up against each other" he said then a tiny devious smirk appeared across his face before he continued "I'll be racing with a school broom as well but in my case, it's because my parents won't let me get one" He said cooly as he finished up his drink and averted his gaze to see if the server was coming back.

Trouble? Fun? Practically the same thing... So of course, what fun would it be without a little bit of rowdiness?
Enzo glanced back over at Charles then answered smugly.
"You don't seriously expect me to lounge around all day on my first proper trip to England do you?"

Charles watched Enzo take a slip of his butterbeer before turning down his offer because of something never less, Charles took another glass of fire whiskey before speaking " alright but if you ever change your mind through, you know where to find me," Charles then heard the young boy's remark and he couldn't help but chuckle a little but quicky got control of himself before saying " yes, I'm staying here completely by myself as you said but it isn't as big of a deal through," for a boy that would usually stay away from his family or be left alone, Charles didn't see the big deal about it as he continued " a few days ago something happened at my house, I had enough and packed my bags that night and stole of money before leaving and coming here for the rest of summer. My family normally never noticed me or cared what I did so them coming wasn't a problem and my height gives the prospective that I'm 16 or 17 but in reality," Charles gave the boy a small, mischievous smile before speaking again in a low voice as the sever gave back with their round of fire whiskey " I'm only 12, turning 13 in November."

Charles then took another glass of fire whiskey as heard Enzo speak in a english British accent before saying he will be attending Beauxbatons in which Charles chuckled a bit as he joke " your British accent was spot on, I would never have guessed you didn't go to Hogwarts if I heard that first," Charles then took another glass of fire whiskey as Enzo talked about Dumstrang and asked how come he spoke french so fluently so Charles replied " Dumstrang has it's good and bad qualities just like everywhere else and when I was younger my father made me and my brother take lessons to better ourselves or whatever, a few of those lessons included languages. I can speak german, Spanish, Russian, and English as well."

When Enzo said that he was fond of flying also, Charles couldn't help but give a smile " maybe we should go flying together sometime then," Enzo then mentioned not liking quidditch but going to tryout for broom racing team at his school, Charles then noted that his parents won't get him a broom a thought that would remain in his mind as he then spoke " well then I wish you luck on getting onto the team and yes going up against you would be fun," Charles then gave a mischievous smile as he continued " it's such a shame how some have brooms while others don't, my brother has two and he hates flying while mine was snapped in half."

Charles hated talking about his family so he took another glass of fire whiskey as he listen to Enzo before seeing the sever and saying in a thick British and Russian accent " another round," Charles then gave a mischievous smile to Enzo and spoke " in for some trouble aren't you, now that's my language. So had any fun yet or found some trouble yet Enzo?"
