Lisa had just finished having her fun with Charlotte and pulled along a not improved but different Charlotte Lebeau her arms linked with her and tugging her along looking smug "I should just run a business" she smirked to herself and glanced back over at Charlotte when a couple older gentlemen in their early 20's stepped out of Three Broomsticks and leered at them, glancing back over at the boys she cocked an eyebrow and smirked slightly not bad she thought to herself as she continued to pull the poor girl along to the gates.
Broderick stood at the gates at the entry of Hogsmeade waiting for Charlotte, she had told him that she was spending the day with Lisa after her detention and that they could spend time together afterward seeing how he didn't work that particular day & when he spotted the blonde boy did he get an eyeful.  His eyes widened as his heart rate picked up and his palms began to shake "well damn" he thought to himself as the blonde approached him.

"Hi, hi!" she beamed when they approached him - yep, definitely still the same Charlotte underneath. She swung the bag on her arm a little, shifting the weight of it, & smiled up at the older man obliviously. One hand fiddled with the tips of her hair as she adjusted herself, the fingers of her free hand brushing lightly over the tops of her exposed legs as she made sure the dress was still in place on her properly.

Lisa narrowed her eyes from a distance as she watched Charlotte, and Broderick in particular, her head cocked to the side then a smirk twitched on her lips "not bad Lebeau" she commented to herself then perkily flounced off leaving the pair.
Broderick still a little awe struck stood there in silence for a moment watching her every move "I-" he stopped himself forgetting what he was going to say, scratching at the back of his head and biting on his lower lip he looked down at her "Hey"

Charlotte snorted at Lisa, but she was gone before the smaller blonde could protest. Shrugging, she beamed & half-pounced at the taller man, "My hero, rescuing me from inevitable death by torture." she grinned, swinging her arms around him but keeping her dignity in the short dress, giving him a big, oblivious, cuddly hug. |

Broderick laughed when she slipped her arms around him and closed his eyes snuggling into her for a moment before he pulled away and chuckled "well I hate to say it but what is torture for you is clearly not for anyone else" he nodded at a few guys who walked by watching Charlotte as she jumped up and hugged him, Broderick's grin flickered to a frown for just a moment then shifted back to a smile "is this what you were doing all day?" he asked looking her up and down but trying not to make it obvious.

"Uhm, apart from detention." she said quickly, breezing over it before he could say anything on the matter. "Look what I got!" she held her hand out to show off the small, dainty watch on her wrist. Pulling it off carefully, she turned it around so it could see it better. It was the watch that had been sitting on her dresser for months and months, broken, but she'd clearly just gotten it fixed up, cleaned & polished up.
M . A . B
It was clearly her mothers, the auror crest below the initials that was engraved into the back shone as brightly as ever in the overcast light around them.

Broderick took her wrist and stared down at it a smile slowly growing on his lips then locked his eyes on Charlotte "your- it's beautiful" he cleared his throat and blushed then leaned in and pulled her into another hug to hide his red cheeks, after a moment he pulled himself together "since we are here want to go to Honeydukes? my treat" he grinned at her adoringly his eyes remaining on her again as he took all of her in but forced himself to look away before he was rendered speechless again.

Her entire face seemed to light up at his suggestion.
"Don't be stupid, of course I do." she grabbed his arm & gently linked hers with it after replacing the watch on her wrist. "Is there a special occasion to bring on the generosity, or do you just feel bad for me?" she teased.

Broderick side glanced at her with a playful smirk "do I feel bad for you being pampered and looking amazing in a dress? not really no" he chuckled and shook his head "I just figured you could use a sugar fix for some reason I doubt there was much time for it while you were with your friend" he nudged her softly his eyes warm with affection.

Charlotte giggled, "Don't get jealous, I bet you'd fit this one." she pulled the top of a light blue sundress from the bag to show him playfully, nuzzling happily into his side as they walked.
"Hm, yes, you're right. I tried to get some in while Lisa was picking dresses, but that girl works fast." |

Broderick glanced at the dress and chuckled "mm I don't know if will fit my wide hips they are not even half as small as yours I need to cut the carbs" he winked at Charlotte then took it upon himself to scoop her up onto his back and head for Honeydukes.

Charlotte squealed as she was picked up, wrapping her legs around his torso quickly to keep herself balanced as she flung her arms around his neck. "B!" she protested, but immediately settled in & grinned, putting her chin on his shoulder.
She bit her lip curiously for a moment, before asking the question that had been boiling up inside of her for days. "Is Thorfinn going away again, soon?" she felt a little guilty asking - everyone else in the man's life seemed to hold their breath when he left, knowing that he might not come back, but for her, she couldn't wait for him to leave - not just out of spite, but out of wanting her best friends back. She wasn't exactly able to hang around Broderick's while Thorfinn was still there. |

Broderick smirked slightly and side glanced over at her "oh you miss me do you?" he teased and tickled at her side affectionately with one hand then grabbed her leg once again to hold her steady "I'm not sure I think he is leaving for a week or so in a few days"

She bit her lip & giggled, burying her face into his neck & simultaneously accidentally nuzzling up to him more than she meant to. Lifting her head almost reluctantly as he steadied her, she smiled genuinely when he gave his answer.
"I hope you're prepared for me to not leave your couch." she teased.

Broderick paused his walking and closed his eyes taking a deep breath as she nuzzled into him "well I can't say I'd have a problem with that" he turned his head to look at her again unintentionally gazing at him, he bit on his lower lip holding her gaze for a moment unable to help himself then quickly turned away with a clearing of his throat.
