    He was due to meet Ru here but Less couldn't help but kind of want to wander a bit. Knock turn alley was.. just right there and they had to have all kind of cool things for him to buy. A potentially horrible idea given the sort of things you could actually buy in Knockturn Alley. He'd never been one to turn away from possibly dangerous situations though. If he wandered off now though then Ru wouldn't see him when he came along and he might just kept on going. As much as he'd like to line his pockets with different spell ingredients he didn't want to risk that so he stood on the corner of a building and waited.

    He was tucked against the side out of the wind. It was lightly snowing but Less was dressed warmly. More than warmly actually. He could get a cold in the summer when there was no breeze so he knew not to take his chances and skip bundling up when it really mattered. He didn't know what it was about the air of Hogwarts but he'd gotten sick less and less as the years went by. That wasn't to say he never got sick. He did. Several times a year and he was often more sick than the other students. But he was bright enough to make up any classes he had missed.

    He stomped his feet to keep them warm and tucked his hands under his hands under his arms and glanced up and down the street. He would demand a butterbeer whenever the Ravenclaw showed up. He'd try to get a firewhiskey but there was no chance in hell of that actually happening. He looked like a second year. And Ru was still just a third year. He didn't even want to think what his mother would say if he tried to buy it. His father would punish him for sure. If only because of the possible damage that it would do to the name Burke.

    [fyi, Knockturn Alley is nowhere near High Street. It's all the way over in Diagon Alley, London which is a completely different location xD]
    Rupert wasn't much inclined to do anything this Hogsmeade day. He was due to meet up with Less though so perhaps the slightly older boy would have some sort of idea of what to do. He was a bit less than impressed that his sickly friend was venturing beyond Hogwarts in this weather but at least it wasn't snowing that hard.

    Rupert rushed for no one but himself so he kept a leisurely placed though it was slightly quicker than his usual pace due to knowing that if left in the cold too long, Less would end up catching a cold. Which would be annoying. Catching sight of the boy stomping his feet, Ru approached the Slytherin.

    "Been waiting long?"

    (Blonde moment xD)


    Since he was watching the people wandering by him with eagle eyes he spotted Ru the moment he got close enough to be in Less's field of vision. He wouldn't say finally out loud but it was seriously running though his mind. He didn't mind waiting for Ru honestly. He was just a touch cold right now and wanted to be able to drink something that would warm him up. He tended to complain a bit so he was sure Ru was kind of expecting him to open his mouth and bitch a bit. He bounded up and down on his feet and watched as Ru got closer.

    He couldn't help the smile that broke out on his face. Sure he was cold and he was bound to complain about waiting in less than half an hour but he honestly liked hanging out with the Ravenclaw. Hearing Ru ask if he was waiting long he shook his head and waved a hand animatedly. "Only a little bit. I added another layer though so I should be good." He knew how to over bundle up to keep from easily getting cold. He jerked his head towards the door so that Ru would know he wanted to go inside now. "How are things going in the Ravenclaw part of the world hmm?" He slipped in though the door and instantly loosened up one of the scarfs around his neck.
