A magical might that had seemed less than potential had at last touched Theodore, leaving him with relief. For the years before, he feared being a squib - that was until some time after his ninth birthday. But all those worries were gone, he wasn't going to be a 'filthy squib', instead he was preparing himself to attend Hogwarts in a matter of weeks. Walking near his mother, Theodore went from shop to shop, getting all the supplies he needed. Truth be told it was a bit late to be getting books and everything else, Theodore was quite embarrassed about the fact, though his parents saw no rush in it - well his mother didn't, his father on the other hand did (but couldn't be bothered to take Theodore himself, that was a job for his mother).

With every turn he would take his eyes would brighten further, he wasn't a muggleborn seeing anything magical for the first time, Merlin no that would've been embarrassing. Theodore was raised with pureblood customs but this had been the one time he was getting things, all for his own. Theodore felt truly proud to be striding along where he belonged, and knowing he belonged there. He'd have a game all to his own, glancing at the other children and trying to guess which were actually magical and not just there 'from dumb luck' (as his father would mutter about non-purebloods). Most seemed…common. Almost everyone - if you would have asked him. Theodore's face would pinch slightly, looking almost sour to see the others, then for a second his eyes would grow nervously out of insecurities. Haven't ever really heard anything good about those that were half blood or less than that, it was no surprise to learn that he felt hostile and slightly intimidated. Surely they were up to something….

Theodore tried to pay no attention to those he wondered were less than pure and blinked when his cat Thackery stepped on his foot as he trotted along. It hand't hurt his foot at all but still he made a face. Agh, he scoffed but by the time he looked up he couldn't find his mother anywhere. A strange frightening sensation began occurring beneath his vest, unsure of what it was but not liking it at all, Theodore tossed his head from one side to another, his mouth agape and skin turning pale and cold, he was lost. His mouth opened slightly but he couldn't possibly call out for his mother regardless of how alarmed he felt. Instead his brows lowered, almost angrily and he scurried through the people surrounding him, walking in and out of places. In a bookshop once then a pub and then…..then somewhere he had never been.

Expanding, increasing, amplifying, his eyes just kept getting bigger and bigger at the sight of this world, a whole new world it seemed. He panicked and panted, the more he stared, Theodore covered his ears to shun the loud noises but it wouldn't remedy the clatter, what was worst was that he could hear himself sniffling. His hands dropped quickly and he caught Thackery, pressing the cat close to him he hasn't felt much better at all but it was a smidgen of comfort. "Where are we, Thackery" Theodore whispered to the cat "Why is everyone dressed funny…why do they keep looking" His whispers shook slightly, half realising where he was. Theodore turned around hoping that his world would be back there but it wasn't, just a narrow establishment.

Chianti wasn't in the mood to be in one of those silky fancy dresses today or anyday for that matter, but there she was in Diagon Alley in such a dress. The reason being was that she had accompanied her auntie on a fancy dinner party with a group of housewives with whom she was acquainted with. Brushing strands of her hair from her eyes, Chianti obediently followed her aunt from the restaurant within Diagon Alley. It seemed as though the group of wealthy women had plans to go shopping about the area before heading home. Growing bored with the exchanges taking place, Chianti began to slow her pace as she observed all the things around her. In just a month she would be heading to Hogwarts, just the thought alone caused her heart to soar in joy. How exciting it was to think about her own magical education beginning to unfold in just a month. Standing there in relish, the young girl felt a wide smile begin to form on her lips. As she began to get lost in her thoughts, Chianti found that she had drifted away from her aunt. It seemed as though that was beginning to happen a lot lately.

Blinking, the blonde girl twirled about, trying to find any trace of her aunt's whereabouts, though to no avail. She felt a sense of panic begin to form within her as she tried to calm herself down. You would think that after having gotten lost in the same area so many times one would learn. Apparently that wasn't the case in this particular scenario. As the nervous Malfoy tried to weave her way through the crowds for any sign of Narcissa, she paused in her endeavors when she caught sight of a familiar dark haired boy. "Hm?" Chianti watched in wonder as he went through the Leaky Cauldron and disappeared. Without a second thought, Chianti soon followed after him, entering through the pub, and going through a back way, Chianti found herself going through some magical barrier. There, clutching his cat for dear life, was Theodore Nott. A childhood friend of sorts to her. She supposed she could call Theodore a childhood friend considering their families met with one another every so often. Playing games, teasing each other and having tea parties were indeed events that resulted in friendship. Chianti could easily admit that she liked Theodore, he was rather odd in some respects, though he still possessed quite the likeable character.

"Theodore?" Chianti called out to catch the boy's attention, for he seemed to be rather bewildered at where they were. Speaking of their location, Chianti found herself looking around in awe at their surroundings. She reached up to remove the dainty ribbon in her hair, stuffing it rather roughly in the pocket of her dress. "Where are we?" questioned Chianti as she glanced curiously at Theodore. "What kind of odd place have you fallen into, Theodore?" she asked him in a slightly joking tone. Though a feeling told her that the two shouldn't be here. Blinking she watched as a few passerby stared at the two children in wonder.

[theodore isaac nott]

There had been loud sirens adding to the overwhelming noise, Theodore looked around to find them, assuming that it was a kind of alarm sounding off because he was there. He spotted a small…thing..moving by along with other…things (he wasn't sure what they were but they were big and bulky) He'd seen them before, having snuck out of his house and nearing the town but they frightened him so he never braved enough to find out what they were or what they were called. His knees weakened the longer he stood there and his eyes shut tightly, hoping that once he opened them he'd be back in diagon alley. "Under…over…and flick" He recited in his head, instead of counting 123. With one slow breath he was ready to open his eyes again and be back at his place, before he could he heard his name unexpectedly. The abrupt calling made him believe it was a muggle and evil muggle! His shoulders tightened and his body shrunk down as his arms hugged Thackery closer "Oh don't eat me!" Theodore cried and whimpered, opening one eye to see it coming but instead of seeing a horrendous muggle or animal he saw Chianti. That had even more surprising then anything. Theodore straightened his legs up and pretending clear his throat, acting like what he just did hadn't happened, he looked at her and asked "What…what are you - how long have you been there" He questioned and felt something wriggling near his stomach. Teddy looked down and saw that it was his cat, whom he had been accidentally suffocating earlier.

Theodore let out another breath of desperate confusion, it was impossible to answer Chianti's questions as he too asked himself the same thing. "I…I don't know" He looked almost ashamed, having always pride himself in knowing things, but this one was extremely difficult. Not one to stay too silent he put in his guess "If I could presume I'd say we might be in…" Theodore's face started getting a bit grey as he swallowed his answer, it had tasted horrible so he let out his words "Muggle place….I think this is one" He bit his lip and scooted closer to Chianti.

"It's so bizarre" He stated and was almost too afraid to look around again, in case something odder appeared. Then finally it hit him again, Chianti was right next to him in the most unusual of places. "Wait, how did you get here?" He questioned and eyed her quite suspiciously. "Maybe you aren't the real Chianti…maybe you're a trick…a muggle trick" Theodore began accusing and moved slightly, wishing he had a wand to point at her - but he lied about it anyway "I'll curse you, r-right now if you don't prove..something"

[chianti lyra malfoy]

Giving a quizzical look, Chianti observed as the strange mechanism with flashing lights and loud siren-like sounds zoom past her. Nothing around her weren't things she particularly recognized which was never a good thing. She felt her heart hammer against her chest as she took in the tall buildings, more of the strange mechanisms, followed by the noises of busy streets. As she walked towards Theodore, she noticed a strange object which occasionally flashed red, yellow or green, that hung from what appeared to be a pole in the middle of a paved road. Turning her head away from the paved road, she had finally reached her destination.Chianti watched as Theodore shrunk into a kind of standing fetal position, constricting his cat in the process, from the simple calling of his name. Raising an eyebrow at the other in amusement, the words that left his lips were the trigger to her light laughter. 'Don't eat me'? that was a rather priceless exclamation indeed. Perhaps it wasn't rather nice of her to be laughing at Theodore when he was obviously rather frightened if not just a tad paranoid, but she couldn't help it. On her behalf is was quite entertaining, though she was sure he wasn't viewing it in the same way. Watching as Theodore opened an eye ever so steadily, she greeted him with a playful grin. "Hullo" she stated in a much calmer manner than he had greeted her. Observing as Theodore began to instantly straighten himself up and clear his throat as though he had not just panicked about being eaten, resulted in Chianit's grin to widen. Perhaps he was trying to forget, but Chianti had currently saved the scenario in her mind in relish. At his inquiry, the blonde girl tilted her head slightly to the side in a mock imitation of the thinking process. "Well," she held the syllable for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps since the moment you believed I would like to eat you for supper" she replied casually, though was truly laughing on the inside, with a simple shrug of her shoulders. "Though...I don't think Theodore Nott stew would be quite as appetizing as steak and kidney pie." added Chianti with a smile.

As Theodore looked down at his cat who had been suffering from his owner's suffocating grasp, Chianti rose an eyebrow. She then peered over at the feline she knew as Thackery, to see if he was alright. Reaching over to pet Thackery, she glanced up at Theodore, now allowing her more soft-hearted side to overrule her mischievous antics. She could tell that he was very nervous where he stood so decided against teasing him so much at the moment. She nudged him gently with a warm smile, "Deep breaths" she teased lightly. When he had admitted that he didn't know their whereabouts it was a first, she had known him to tell her facts about things in his snarky ways.

At his suggestion, Chianti's eye caught the sight of a female Muggle, dressed in the oddest of clothes and colors. Unlike Theodore who had grown pale from the mentioning of them being in a Muggle area, Chianti found her eyes brighten in wonder and awe at the news. "Blimey! We may be in the Muggle world? How curious!" stated the young Malfoy, receiving odd looks in their direction due to her outburst which she ignored. She felt Theodore scoot closer to her which resulted in Chianti to peer curiously at him. Yes, he truly wasn't enjoying himself at the moment. "It's not so bad" she told him in a way to try and cheer him up as she contemplated the ways to possibly get out of the non-magical world. "I'm sure we can get back to the wizarding world if we wanted. After all, other wizards do that from time to time, right?" At that moment yet another one of those odd mechanisms went zooming past them, red, white and blue blazing complete with the blaring sound of sirens. Chianti jumped at the sound, before glancing back at Theodore when he stated where they were was 'bizarre'.

A strong sense of curiosity took over at Chianti as she looked around at this unknown world before her. The urge to explore it was strong. She was interrupted in her thoughts when Theodore asked her how she had gotten there. "I followed you," replied the Malfoy simply, her soft grey eyes catching his suspicious look as she answered him. She opened her mouth to explain further until she was cut off, his tone dripping with suspicion as he spoke. Chianti stared at Theodore before erupting into a fit of giggles. "That's ludicrous! Last time I checked I was the only Chianti Malfoy roaming around" she pointed out, rolling her eyes at him. At the threat, she blinked before saying in a playful tone, "Is that so? And where might you be hiding your wand, mister?" Smiling, Chianti rolled her eyes at him in disbelief. Despite his crazy conclusion, Chianti figured that giving him some proof that she was truly Chianti wouldn't hurt anyway.

Prodding gently at the cat in his arms, "His name is Thackery," she stated, before prodding Theodore on the nose, "And sometimes I call you Teddy." she told him, placing emphasis on the rather endearing nickname which had been christened upon him by random one day. "If that doesn't convince you then," Chianti pondered before saying, "I would often force you to have tea parties with me when we were younger. You would wear that little prince-like crown or feathery hat or something of the sort. I daresay that you might have actually enjoyed it after a while." Glancing over at her friend, she placed her right hand on her hip, "Do I past your test? Or shall I recite a few more embarrassing stories of your childhood to you?"

[ooc: that came out longer than I thought >>;]

[theodore isaac nott]

Theodore cursed himself for being so afraid, well, showing that he wasn't feeling very brave and blurting out all that he did. He sighed as Chianti poked fun at him, "I didn't really believe you'd eat me…that was just a..test..yes, a test" He tried to 'assure' and looked away, in case he gave away any more embarrassing details with his facial expressions. Teddy had spotted other children walking with their parents but they weren't dressed like wizards at all - that wasn't the the strangest of things, it was peculiar how they would hold hands quite happily (now Theodore was beginning to understand why his father would always go on about how muggles weren't right) The family had disappeared into some underground tunnel, for a second there his curiosity began roaming inside him, curious to where that tunnel would lead - but he blinked and inwardly lectured himself for having those thoughts. When Chianti chimed a similar thought he had scoffed however. "Don't be silly" he sneered "This world isn't curious it's…awful. We shouldn't meddle with it, it could turn us like them" He crossed his arms disapprovingly. Life like a muggle? What would his parents or Cordelia say? He'd rather not find out….though some bit of interest began rising inside him again.


Rubbing the top of his head until his hair was in a messy bunch, Theodore worried about going back. Sure wizards would be able to travel here and back "But they know what they're doing, they know actual magic, we haven't even had one class" Theodore sighed unknowingly and wished that he could had a wand, maybe then -somehow- the wand could magically take them back to diagon alley or home or anywhere else. But admitting his desires was less than prudent, after all he had just threatened Chianti with a wand that he didn't have on him.

Studying her, from that blonde hair to the grey eyes to that rather short stature, he was still unsure, until she asked him about the wand. Oh now he was getting nervous but letting her know of that would be shameful. Teddy pouted, pretending to be insulted and rolled his eyes. "It's…it's right here" He pointed to the side of Thackery "In him, I made a secret compartment inside him that only I have access to. You wouldn't know about that sort of magic, too advanced for you" His tone was in an irritatingly as-a-matter-of-fact way, and he turned his head even more arrogantly. But the wiggle of his ears betrayed him, mostly because part of him wasn't sure if he sounded believable enough.

"Thackery, you probably overhead me call him that when you were spying" Theodore dismissed and sniffed the air - it had a funny smell, like some sort of food. Theodore glanced around and saw a man eating some flesh coloured thing, looked like a sweet to him but of course he assumed the worst and thought that that muggle was some sort of cannibal. He gave another look of disapproval and tuned back in as soon as he heard that nickname. Slowly but wide eyed, he stared at her as if she had just shouted the name to the clouds above. "Shhhh! someone will hear" He shushed and began turning pink, even more so when the tea parties were mentioned. Yes there might have been times when they were…tolerable, better than the dull dinners at home but..well why did anyone need to know?

"Aright aright" He whispered harshly and made a gesture with his hands, as if trying to push the air down. "I believe you, don't say anymore or I'll mention things about you, short stack"

Annoyed? No no, he wasn't annoyed, embarrassed and dumbfounded? That was more likely. Too stubborn to admit it yet he made a humiliating suggestion "Should we walk about, see if we can find a path or something to go back? I saw some people go in there" He pointed to the underground, not knowing that trains were lining up beneath him. "Maybe we should try there or anywhere" He shrugged "Actually" Theodore paused, uncertain if he should mention it but did so anyway "I'm a bit hungry, only had water earlier…"

[ooc- oh back to novels huh xD]

[chianti lyra malfoy]

"Hm...? Was it really?" blinked Chianti as she mulled over this thought of Theodore saying all he did was a test. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion, not believing what he was telling her was the truth. Though she didn't really want to be particularly naive about her teetering beliefs about the entire scenario. "Sure it was" she said rather stiffly. Following his gaze, Chianti caught the sight of some children nearby, holding the hands of their parents in an affectionate manner. Blinking, she tilted her head slightly to the side and frowned a little. It wasn't a frown of disapproval, however, more so a frown of longing. As she had grown up unable to cling to a parent's hand for comfort, she had a spark of interest as to how it felt. She turned away from the family while Theodore continued to stare on. "I daresay that their taste in clothing is awful" said Chianti shaking her head slightly, but smiling all the same. She turned to face him, only to be greeted by a disapproving Theodore. She too crossed her arms over her chest, "Aren't you just a little curious?" she asked him, making a motion with her pointer finger and thumb to indicate the 'little' part.

At Theodore's statement, Chianti did see that he had a point. Though, there wasn't much they could really do. "Perhaps we can think of this as a pre-class of sorts" nodded Chianti with a wave of her hand as she smiled slightly. Well, it was an optimistic way of thinking after all, which was something they kind of needed in their rather pessimistic situation. Wandless and in a whole new world they knew nothing about, that sounded like a terrible scenario for two eleven year old wizards. There had to be a way to get into the magical world again, their home. Perhaps they could wait for another witch or wizard to come wandering by. Though who knows how long that would take.

As Theodore continued to doubt her identity, Chianti found herself looking at him in a bemused way when he started to talk in an obnoxious matter-of-fact tone, with just a hint of arrogance. "You hid your wand in a compartment in Thackery, that only you can gain access too?" blinked the young Malfoy, tilting her head to the side as she took this all in. She frowned as she thought about how cruel that was for the cat, giving him a disdainful look for that. "I think that's more cruelty of animals than advanced magic" she told him, a more Malfoy-ish tone taking over her generally sweet one. Her love for animals usually over ruled common sense from time to time. As Chianti put more thought into the manner, her usual self came back into play as she shook her head with a little smile. Seeing his ears wiggle made her smile even wider. "You wouldn't do that, Theodore" she told him, nodding her head as she did so and laughing lightly. Reaching over she playfully tapped at one of his ears, "They told me so!" she stated. Perhaps growing up with one another just made Chianti well aware of Theodore's own little behaviors sometimes. Not all the time, but sometimes. Those were one of those times when her attention was focused solely on the Nott before her.

The moment Theodore slowly turned to look at her after she had uttered his delightful nickname was when she knew she had won him over with this 'identity' test. Smiling at his reactions to the things she had said, Chianti found herself amused. Completely and utterly amused indeed. A light laugh escaped her lips as Theodore whispered to her harshly. His final comment on the manner, however, resulted in her to pout at him. "Hey! I'm not a short stack" she told him, sticking out her tongue in his direction as she did so. Ah, the list of childhood things could go on, though Chianti wasn't very keen on hearing about stories he had about her about her.

At Theodore's suggestion of going through the underground tunnel, Chianti's eyes glinted with excitement. "Oh~ That sounds like a splendid idea" she nodded as she bent down to fix her stockings. "Perhaps there's some kind of Portkey down there that may take us back home. A cup of tea sounds lovely right now, don't you think?" touching on their previous subject about the tea parties they had together. Holding back some laughter, Chianti instead smiled widely at the thought. She was certainly beginning to wish she had shoes and more reasonable attire for this occasion rather than such a fancy dress. She wanted to go exploring with Theodore for crying out loud, not attend some fancy dull dinner. At the moment she was wishing that she had a wand to attend to such wishes.

About to head towards the 'underground tunnel', Chianti halted in her endeavors when hearing that Theodore was hungry. She looked over at him. "Hungry?" she repeated. Eyes growing wide about how he only had water that morning, Chianti placed her arms over her chest. "That's not good!" she exclaimed to him, immediately trying to seek out a place of food with her eyes. "Hm...Perhaps we can find something to eat. I wonder what kind of food they have in this world..." she said in a thoughtful manner as she began to walk around the area in search of food. Tugging gently at Theodore's arm with a smile, silently telling him to follow her. Noticing some odd assortment of things that Muggles nearby were eating, Chianti traced the horde of munching Muggles to a nearby cafe. "Hey Teddy..." she motioned for his attention with her hand as she tilted her head in a quzzical fashion at the cafe before them. "Do you think that would be an ideal place for food?" She observed some Muggles eating sandwiches, drinking tea or coffee, and saw an assortment of different pastries and sandwiches in the cafe's window. "It looks rather simple" she said slowly, glancing over at Theodore to see what he thought.

[ooc: It can't be helped xD]

[theodore isaac nott]

Perhaps his lies weren't tip top yet, Theodore made a note of it and promised himself to work over it during the rest of the summer. He gazed at the muggles, buildings and other unusual objects as Chianti asked if he had been a bit curious. The truth had been his own, as he stood there he still wondered if this world possessed any interest, some things said yes while others shouted fear in him. The air had felt almost the same, stroking his cheek a bit colder than usual, the loud echoing voices rang heavily - the laughter was worst, it thundered through the streets; or perhaps that was just his rather large ears picking it up as so. Theodore sighed upon indecision, a new world meant new trinkets and a chance to study these creatures, all the same he'd rather learn about them through a book instead of in person. This was even more true when someone in a scooter pushed by him. Theodore scowled and rubbed his arm, deciding against complaining (in case they heard and came back) "It's not our world" He stated blankly, making sure he didn't hint whether he had decided on being curious or not. Frankly he would have liked it better if no one had ever found out that he set foot outside of the wizarding world, he assumed there must've been some stern punishing for that, at his house anyway - and merlin forbid it meant his books being taken away again.

"Animal Cruelty?" A mocking snicker made his mouth tremble "I forget you actually think animals have feelings, I've never heard anything more ridiculous" Theodore looked amused as he sighed happily "Unless you were trying to be funny, which I must applaud - but I won't" A slippery smirk dangled on his face for some time, whether it was because he really thought Chianti was being funny or he was purposely making it out to be that way to mock her…oh that was for him to know.

In the meantime things were getting a bit better, Theodore was sure that the girl before him wasn't a doppelgänger and soon they'd be back home (he thought so anyway). Yeah things seemed alright, that was until…"Don't..don't" He couldn't help but laugh quietly as he whined "I"m ticklish there" Theodore complained as he scratched his ear, neglecting that that was suppose to be one of his secrets. Once he realised it though, a fair tint of scarlet splashed on his face and he felt the uncomfortable warmth of dread "I meant..if you touch them you'll grow fur..on your hand..fur of a bear" Worries climbed on him like a high ladder and his eyes shifted, trying to find something to distract the moment. "Why are you dressed funny?" He asked during the time she fixed her stocking. It wasn't like Theodore to notice what others wore right away, somehow it was the least important thing - that was until he could be snarky about it.


"A portkey? Hmm, maybe there could be one there.." Theodore pondered, after all he had heard about a portkey to the platform for when he started school, there was no way his father would allow him to travel around the muggle world and access the secret station at king's cross, like some sort of muggleborn or halfblooded. Theodore concluded that there must be port keys all over, despite it being chianti's suggestion in the first place. "Oh a cup does sound -" He stopped once he understood the implication "Shut it" He sneered with squinty eyes and grumbled to himself, those tea parties would be a reminder until he had a white beard that reached the floor!

Theodore began pouting his lips, for no reason really, it was just habit. His eyes blinked twice and began following Chianti on her cue, but he didn't want to get lost again and tried to stay close…there was something else, something humbling, it felt humiliating really…but he couldn't help it. Teddy felt mortified in his current situation and having already lost his mother in a crowd earlier, and and and just being eleven, well, he looked for chianti's hand but didn't reach to it, instead he clasped his hand around her wrist - that was less awkward. His eyes quickly dropped to the floor so he wouldn't have to give a way any expressions or explanations to his scared little boy behaviour. Theodore hardly raised his head to wherever he was told to look, shrugging he answered with "As long as they don't serve anything like…rats…I think we could stomach their muggle food" His insides felt charmed, as though another wizard had cast a spell that made flies zoom around his abdomen, it was just the thought of eating muggle food, now his hunger was still there but wobbly…and the thought of having to actually talk to muggles caused him to shudder "You should talk, you're less obvious" He asserted but peered at the cafe timidly

[chianti lyra malfoy]

Perhaps it wasn't in her family's nature to be so awed by the Muggle-life. In fact she was quite certain that neither her Malfoy nor Beausang families were interested in Muggles, and to be so, would be rather disgraceful. She was sure if any one of them would have found out she wandered into the Muggle world, she would surely be locked up for the duration of the summer. Being locked up never really suited Chianti. It would certainly drive her crazy that was for sure. Not to mention, it would also be very shameful for her family which resulted in her heart to steadily sink at the thought. As she thought more and more about being found out, Chianti began to attempt in forming some sort of explanation. After all, she was sure that Theodore's family wouldn't agree with him venturing into the Muggle world either. Despite such thoughts, however, Chianti couldn't help but continue to stare around this new world in a curious manner. Glancing over at Theodore's surly appearance after telling her it wasn't their world resulted in her to sigh slightly.

Her thoughts were interrupted, however, when Theodore began to taunt her about her love for animals. She rolled her eyes at the things he said as she tried to get her emotions under control. "Ohhh, you keep saying that. One day you just might be turned into one and have to live an entire day as that particular animal~" she teased lightly before tapping gently on Thackery's nose and erupting into giggles.

As Chianti realized that Theodore was ticklish about his ears, she blinked, tilting her head to the side in interest. A wicked smile then formed on her lips at this new piece of information. "What an odd place for such a reaction" she stated in wonder. Watching Theodore try to deny his confession made Chianti only more amused as she began to laugh lightly at his reaction. The light pink tint that formed on his face was enough proof for Chianti to know that what he had told her earlier was indeed the truth. His excuse made her blink for a moment before she looked down at her hands. "Is that so?"she nudged him gently, waving her hands in front of his eyes, "Oh yes, it seems I do have the fur of a bear on them" said Chianti in a sarcastic tone. Her sarcasm dropped when Theodore asked her the reason as to why she was dressed in such a way. "Oh, this?" the blonde held up the ends of her dress and looked down at them. "Well" holding the syllable again, Chianti began to explain. "Aunt Cissy and I went to a fancy dinner with her friends before I saw you. So I was stuck wearing..." Chianti looked at her outfit in disdain before adding in a rather annoyed tone, "This." Recalling the dinner get together, Chianti had remembered that she had not eaten much to begin with considering she had no idea what the fancy names to the entrees on the menu even were. It then made her wonder as to how Theodore had managed to find his way to the Muggle world. "Speaking of which, how is it that you came about here?" inquired the Malfoy with a tilt of her head.

When Theodore had nearly missed her remark, Chianti couldn't help to let out a snicker herself. Indeed, those amusing tea parties were times when Chianti enjoyed spending time with the Nott. This amusement was even more stemmed due to the fact that Chianti often had a certain 'guest' invited to said tea parties all the time. "I'm sure Sir Teddydore Teddykins would enjoy it if you joined us for tea again..." muttered Chianti loud enough for Theodore to here though she pretended as though she hadn't said anything. During their younger years, Theodore hadn't minded the permanent tea party guest until they got a little older. Sir Teddydore Teddykins, shortened simply to 'Teddydore' or 'Teddykins' was Chianti's teddy bear whom Theodore had given her when they were the younger age of five. It was indeed the perfect explanation for the rather childish odd name she had given it though of course she had no plans on changing the bear's name. Despite taunting Theodore with the teddy bear now that they were older, Chianti truly adored Sir Teddydore Teddykins. Though of course she wouldn't really openly admit that to Theodore anytime soon.

As Theodore began to follow Chianti on the look for food, she felt him take a hold of her wrist after a few moments. Blinking the young Malfoy side glanced at Theodore but decided not to question it. In fact, it was probably an easier way for them to maneuver through the crowd without losing sight of one another. "Rats you say?" Chianti repeated in bewilderment. "How curious that would be" she said in a thoughtful manner. When Theodore had suggested for her to be the one to talk, Chianti felt her heart skip a beat slightly, more so out of nerves than anything else. Taking a deep breath the next thing that came to mind aside from nerves was a twinge of excitement. Though, perhaps she was just odd in thinking like that. "Come on then" she said to her friend, opening the door of the cafe and stepping inside.

The cafe was small with just a few tables crammed into the limited space. She looked up at the menu that was before them, reading things such as tea and coffee then came the food items such as scones, crumpets, biscuits, bagels, cakes and various other pastries followed by finger sandwiches. Looking up at the Muggle before them who was a young woman who peered at the two wizards in interest. "What would you like dear?" the woman asked Chianti, her eyes then glancing over at Theodore. "Um..." Chianti tapped her chin thoughtfully, "I'd like a cup of tea and a blueberry scone please" said the blonde with a small timid smile. The woman behind the counter nodded before looking over at Theodore. Chianti turned to Theodore before the woman could ask, "And what would you like?" the Malfoy asked the Nott. Well, this was a scenario that Chianti had least expected herself to be in.

Conceiving images of himself as an animal for the rest of his days had carried Theodore with marvel rather than worry. In his mind he was given the choice of what animal he'd be, he chose to be one of his favourites; a rather small one with an unordinary pattern and a contrary set of colours, flying about wherever he pleased, absolute freedom if only for three days. It seemed like a dream rather than a punishment; Theodore wasn't afraid of the idea, not one bit. Sighing elatedly he looked at the sky, forgetting that he was suppose to be a petrified bugger. Well, the more he stared the faster he was falling back to reality, the dark grey sky was there again and all the blathering buzzed near his ears. Another sigh came in but this time far less elated, in truth he looked as though he had received a licking from thackery right on his cheek - disturbing to say the least.

Although Theodore had realised that his fibs weren't flowing excellently he pretending to be distracted by something else, pulling on his sleeves, mumbling something about how there was no real reason why he hadn't had a watch yet but surely would think into it again. After the words met their end and they were now discussing Chianti's attire, he stared at her again with a confound look that welded with a disenchanted one. "You look out of place, like an old witch who shrunk or something" Theodore shrugged, "What an odd way for someone to dress" He thought but soon put it out of his mind. It was odd to Theodore, seeing witches or even wizards being dressed up, well, unless it was for a tea party (he hadn't ever really minded it there, after all it was the only time he could put on his bow ties or the ties with little wands, and sometimes cauldrons, on them) Walking about dressed like an adult was just…unusual.

Concocting ideas of what potion ingredients to pick up after they got back to diagon alley, Theodore began drifting away from what was suppose to be his time to socialise, though he was always doing that and right before he began thinking of singing pears he picked up Chianti's last question regarding his present trouble in the muggle world. "I….." Theodore began, extremely slowly. The bright blue eyes snuck a peek at her, looking weary and unsure. It wasn't as though he could speak the truth, say he lost his mother and stumbled upon the muggles? Twitter that he had been afraid, enough to lose sight of everything and clumsily fall into fear until she came along, be a damsel in distress? (well that one wasn't all that new but still) "What matters is that I leave this world, unbitten by these..muggles" He muttered stiffly but soon went on to fall for the tea joke. "Oh ha bloody ha" rolling his eyes and scoffing, he poked chianti on the arm. Theodore groaned loudly as the other little teddy was mentioned, grumbling he wished that the bear was in Chianti's grasp just so he could snatch it and run off. "I'd love to join you both again" surprisingly enough he said, oh but a deviant smirk slithered behind the words "I want him to be the guest of honour - to cook him in a stew" Theodore laughed and swooped a clump of air, pretending it was the bear and gobbling him up. "Schedule it as soon as possible!" Theodore continued to tease.

Escorted into the cafe, Theodore nearly missed a step but was swift in gaining his steps again. "close one, close one" He thought to himself and couldn't help but let curiosity get the better of him. Up and down, side to side, one way then what way his eyes could climb the walls from here to there and then and back here again. A little smile smoothened his lips as all the new things intrigued him. It was probably unheard of for a boy his age but Theodore hadn't ever really visited a restaurant or cosy cafe or even some sort of diner in the magical world with his parents. It was always eating at home or eating fruit in the yard when he wanted a snack while he strolled about the grounds. Could it be quite possibly that this unfamiliar place wasn't as detestable as he first thought? He couldn't make up his mind completely just yet.

Theodore sat down and quirked his brows, "why isn't it…?" He tapped at the menu that was laying flat on the table "Is it broken, Chianti?" He asked with utter confusion until he noticed that Chianti picked up the menu. The top of his ears were able to bend themselves down with uncertainty. Theodore had been used to most reading material from bits of parchment to letters simply raising themselves and floating in the air, sometimes even reading on their own, so this menu just sitting there lazily was nothing less than unusual. With traces of bafflement still peppering on him, he wasn't sure what to get at all. "Just same as you" Theodore nodded and sat there awkwardly until his order was written "That's all serving wench, away with you" Theodore nodded again, making sure to remember what he thought was the proper term, but if he had seen the look on the woman's unpleased face, well….

"You're actually alright with this, fitting in here that is, oh and taking orders" Theodore complimented in his own way "Maybe you could do this when you grow up, work in some place like this" Once more he looked around the small place "But in our world that is" He made sure to add. "What should we do after this? Dissect them?" He suggested, assuming that Chianti was still curious about the strange beings "Could be like a project, we'd know how to handle them later when we know proper magic" Theodore smiled a bit at the idea of studying muggles and learning their behaviour and most importantly flaws. After all, that was he was taught to believe, to expect, and be praised for when he got to Hogwarts. Now he was assuming they'd be both top of their first year class for having useful muggle information.

Chianti rose her eyebrow at the comment Theodore had just given her about her attire. She then pretended to imitate an old witch crone, complete with invisible crane. "Aye." replied Chianti, adopting her impression of a creepy raspy voice. "And you are welcomed into my cauldron to be stewed and served." Grinning, Chianti straightened up while rolling her eyes, talking in her normal tone once again. "I believe I'm not the only who looks out of place here, mister" she pointed out. "Besides, you never seem to find it odd to dress up in such attire whenever a tea party is taking place" the blonde told him with a shrug of her shoulders as she squinted into the bustling streets. The orangey glow beyond the horizon was signaling that it was getting rather late. Despite that fact, Chianti had the optimistic view that everything was going to be just fine and there was nothing to worry about. For now at least. Staying close to Theodore as to not get lost, Chianti found it odd to feel not as threatened as she should feel in a new world like this.

She jumped slightly at the sound of a car horn being honked loudly, peering over at the paved roads in interest. It made her wonder whether the wizarding world was as loud as this one with their unusual loud sounds here and there. Why were they even needed in the first place? As Theodore began to reply to her question, she glanced over at him, catching the look in his eye in interest. He sure was taking his time answering the question though, so Chianti passed the time by tying her hair back with a hair tie around her wrist. Extreme patience seemed to be her own trait, though members of her family possessed patience, they certainly weren't patient enough with her or anyone for that matter, when she decided not to answer their inquiries. Considering the fact that he had avoided the question altogether, having talked around it for an answer resulted in the Malfoy to roll her eyes at him. "I'm sure they'll bite you" she teased lightly, "rather hard might I add" she added with a smile. A Muggle walked on by while the two spoke, "Oh yes, look at the size of those fangs" she told him sarcastically. Though she did know what he meant, it was always fun to tease ever so lightly. "Perhaps Muggles aren't as bad as we're taught" she told him slowly, though knew he would most likely disagree with her opinion.

Chianti was laughing as Theodore poked her arm, her eyes merry with delight. She had been certain that bringing the teddy bear into the conversation would have an amusing effect, and indeed it had. Though she stifled her giggles the moment she heard Theodore agree with her suggestion. Stunned for a moment, Chianti peered at him in a suspicious manner. There had to be something deviant behind that casual agreement. And soon enough, he had threatened to stew her teddy bear. "Oh, I highly doubt I would let that happen. We never serve stew with our tea, silly. Especially not teddy bear stew." Chianti told him, waving her hand in dismissal with a grin. "I'll schedule it, though I prefer the usual with my tea. However, I'll make sure that the house elves are notified to add a dash of stew in your tea for an...Ah...exotic flavor" teased Chianti with a nod. She would protect her teddy bear, oh yes she would from the likes of Theodore, ironically enough.

Chianti had been questioning whether the presence of Thackery in the cafe was an alright thing. Perhaps they had let it slide by considering they were kids, though they weren't that young. Glancing about the magic-less cafe, Chianti didn't see any angry glares shot their way. If anything, all stares were of mere curiosity or simply unnoticed. She was beginning to take a liking to the little cafe, with its simply decor and cozy feel. As Theodore began to question the menu, which had dully sat on the table before them rather than floating magically into their grasp or stating the day's specials in a loud clear voice, Chianti couldn't help but smile at him. It was always amusing to watch his emotions display across his face. She had the urge to tease him but decided against it. Muggles weren't magical people, and though it shocked Chianti to not see the pictures move in their frames, it was more or less pleasant. Though she still did prefer her magical world to this odd one.

However, hearing the term 'wench' come from Theodore's lips resulted in Chianti to stare wide-eyed at him. "Theo--" she was soon cut off as their waiter over rode her who was beginning to scold and lecture Theodore much to Chianti's bemusement. As the woman walked away glaring at Chianti's companion, the blonde girl mentally slapped herself. As soon as the waiter disappeared, Chianti gently flicked Theodore on the nose. "What kind of term is that? You should say 'thank you' or something" she told him, rolling her eyes. "Now she just might put something nasty in your tea" teased Chianti, placing her arms over her head in a stretch.

As Theodore began to compliment her, Chianti tilted her head to the side in wonder at his suggestion of her working at a cafe. "That would be nice actually" she nodded slowly. "I'll make sure our menus to be extra magical so when you come in for your morning coffee, you won't think it's broken" stated Chianti with a small smile. At Theodore's next suggestion, Chianti pondered it before a wide grin formed on her lips. "Oh, that sounds delightful" she said in a rather cheerful tone just as their order came. A cup of tea with a blueberry scone. "Perhaps the students in our year would think it interesting that we ventured into the Muggle world" she said as she began to add milk and sugar to her tea, stirring it before taking a sip. "By the way...Are you excited about going to Hogwarts?" her eyes lit up at the very name of their wizarding school. "I wonder how the Sorting will go though" she said thoughtfully. "Will everyone we know go into Slytherin?" she wondered, tapping her chin thoughtfully as she plucked a piece of her scone and put it into her mouth.
