Parker, Rory, Marty, Angela, and Xander were stuck wandering the Charing Cross district, looking for the Leaky Cauldron.

So far, no luck.

"How hard can it be to find *one* magical pub?"

Zero wandered up. Amazing how even in a big city like London, people can still bump into each other, isn't it? "Well, fancy meetin' you lot here."

"Hi Zero! I have had much, much, much coffee!" Rory said, bouncing on her heels. "And I boughtinated prezzies! Yay!"

"Hey! Did you get my voicemail?" Parker gestured around the square. "We're trying to find the Leaky Cauldron."

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

"Rory's had one too many lattes," Zero told Parker. "I did get your voicemail. Hmm, Leaky Cauldron...S'gotta be around here somewhere."

"I blame Xander. He was holding her leash." Parker grinned, then rolled her eyes. "On the other hand, his friend Willow told us what we're looking for. Evidently they're an alley behind the pub where we can buy the stuff we need."

As if on cue, a familiar blonde in a bright blue suit that didn't look quite normal crossed in front of them and began to make her way into the pub.

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

Zero blinked after the blonde. "Isn' that Professor Skeeter?"

"Looks like her," Angela agreed. "But why would she follow us to London?"

"If it's not her then that woman uses the same formula of bleach..."

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It's her," Rory affirmed. "And she didn't follow us. She's from here. And she's a witch. I bet she knows where to find the thingy Willow was talking about."

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

Angela raised an eyebrow and grabbed Marty's elbow. "So we should follow her?" she asked.

"I'd say so. Be sneaky like a sneaky sneaking thing though," Xander warned. "Unless you wanna spend the rest of your vacation as a hat. She's kind of... tetchy."

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

"Yeah...and she doesn't really like me," Rory said, blushing. "Anyone here who she didn't give detention to, actually knows, and doesn't call 'Whorey' on a regular basis?"

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

[swerval_zero]

"Um, she turned me into a cat when I asked her to. She was pretty civil about it."

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oh?" Rory asked. "Go talk to her, then. I think you're probably the closest to someone she might actually like."

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

[swerval_zero]

Zero sighed and headed after the woman who was probably Professor Skeeter. "Professor Skeeter! Wait up! Um...please!"

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

Rita stopped dead in her tracks. Professor Skeeter? Oh, hell. That could only mean one thing.

She turned and smiled. "Why, hello, Ms. Hopeless-Savage," she said, glancing over Zero's shoulder at the group and sighing. "How...lovely to see you."

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

[swerval_zero]

"Hello," Zero said. "Fancy running into you here. Um...you're a witch, right?"

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"...yes. I turned you into a cat."

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

[swerval_zero]

"Yes, of course, right, which is how I knew to even ask you, how silly of me...um. We have a problem, and we need to get into a place called Diagon Alley? And--um, someone--told us there's a pub near here that has the entrance. Do you know anything about that?"

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita frowned. "All right, who told you, and why do you need in? Muggles aren't allowed, students or not."

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

[swerval_zero]

"I...I don't actually know who told us. But Angel might die. We have to get in to find a cure. Er. What's a Muggle?"

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"Non-magic person. And Angel...Callistie's friend?" Rita looked mildly alarmed. "You need in to save him? What about the doctors?"

Re: The Leaky Cauldron - Charing Cross Road, London

[swerval_zero]

"Oh, well, um, have you seen our school? I don' think any of us qualify as 'non-magic' any more. What's wrong with Angel, it's some kind of magic poison, you see. 'Cause of he's a vampire and normal ones wouldn't work on him. So...yeah. Will you please help us?"
