The Leaky Cauldron

The Leaky Cauldron is the oldest pub in London and is believed to have been built sometime in the 1500s, along with the rest of Diagon alley. The pub is one of the few connections to Muggle London and Wizarding London. In the muggle world, The Leaky Cauldron is found in Charing Cross Road and to the muggle eye, it is a small, broken-down old shop front. Once, before the statute of secrecy, muggles were welcomed into the pub with open arms, though this changed under Ulick Gamp, the Minister of Magic at the time. To allow its survival, he ensured that the shop was placed under heavy spells and protection. In the Wizarding world, the Leaky Cauldron has an entrance to both Diagon alley and Knockturn Alley found in the establishment's backyard.

However, under Alistair Fitzgerald, the foot traffic between the two worlds have been minimised with the establishment under constant threats to close their door to the muggle world shut permanently. However, though there is a sign reminding the people of the current laws, it still remains open. It is not the first time this establishment has suffered under fascist governments, and no doubt not the last.

Currently, it's owned by Phoebe. Someone whose family was well known to be against muggles and anything related but she herself as become more open minded as the years passed by. Thus, she is known to turn a blind eye if you pass into Muggle London. Under Phoebe, the pub hasn't changed much but she has renovated the bedrooms to be more accommodating to those that stay there. The pub itself, though, is still rather grungey but is still the best place to go for any interesting gossip.

Roleplay (in the pub, or backyard)

Aria and Philip

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:26, August 29, 2019 (UTC) His Mum had seen some friend of hers at another table and excused herself, so Philip was sitting at a table by himself.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:29, August 29, 2019 (UTC) She'd come and scoot in across from him. "Hey...Happy Christmas." She'd be dressed warmly in a knit hat, mittens, and a thick coat.

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:34, August 29, 2019 (UTC) He smiled when she came to sit down. "Happy Christmas. How are you?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:35, August 29, 2019 (UTC) "Good, how about you?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:37, August 29, 2019 (UTC) "Good," he said. "How's your arm doing?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:40, August 29, 2019 (UTC) She'd give it a little stretch showing the sling was gone. "Better. I wore it over the holidays but it's healed enough now that I just need to be careful with it rather than have something to help hold it mostly still."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:41, August 29, 2019 (UTC) He nodded. "That's good. Will you still be able to play this year? Or is your season... kinda done?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:43, August 29, 2019 (UTC) She'd scoff. "Like I'd let a little thing like this stop me." She'd pause and grin her voice a little more serious. "...but thanks for asking."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:45, August 29, 2019 (UTC) He nodded. "I should have known as much," he said with a little smile.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:49, August 29, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. "So how were your holidays?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:54, August 29, 2019 (UTC) "Good. We usually spend it with my Dad's sisters and their families. So I got to see my cousins. It was a good time."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:02, August 29, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. "Nice. Mine was similar. Had an Aunt and cousin from out of town so lots of people but overall it was good."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:04, August 29, 2019 (UTC) "So two more to what I already picture to be just... relatives everywhere?" He confirmed with a chuckle.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:05, August 29, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. "Yeah, pretty much. Good thing the castle is so big so the number of people isn't really an issue."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:06, August 29, 2019 (UTC)~ He nodded. "So what brings you to London?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:08, August 29, 2019 (UTC) "Quick trip to return or exchange things people got for Christmas. How about you?" She'd glance around assuming he wasn't alone.

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:10, August 29, 2019 (UTC) "Lunch with Mum," he said, nodding to where she was chatting with a friend. "She got pulled over by someone she knows.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:12, August 29, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. "Ah." It seemed a bit odd that if they were doing something special like that she would have left him alone but she didn't see the need to say that. "Celebrating something or just a special lunch?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:13, August 29, 2019 (UTC) "Just a lunch," he said shaking his head. "She likes to do this when I'm on break. I don't think she expected to get tied up." He chuckled. "But you're here... by yourself?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:15, August 29, 2019 (UTC) "I'm in here by myself. My Mum and Dad and siblings are various places doing things. We'll meet up here once everyone's done to head home."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:16, August 29, 2019 (UTC) He nodded. "Gotcha."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:27, August 29, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. "So anything else special happen over the break?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:30, August 29, 2019 (UTC) He shrugged. "My Mum gave me some old map of the school as a gift. It looks cool, but I don't know if it does much."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:31, August 29, 2019 (UTC) She'd frown. "A map of Hogwarts? I didn't know you could make something like that with all the moving staircases and everything."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:37, August 29, 2019 (UTC)~ "I'm wondering if it'll... do more once I'm at school. All the magic in the air or something." OOC: Would Lily have given Renee instructions on how to use it? Cause Renee didn't go to Hogwarts, except for the year of the Triwizard Tournament. So it's not like she would've known how to use it.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:41, August 29, 2019 (UTC) "Maybe..." She'd pause. "Looking forward to getting back then?" OOC: I don't remember if Lily gave it to her...or if she found it in her hideout? I think Lily let her borrow it at one point so she'd know how to use it then maybe she found it later once Lily was gone? Also, I think it's blank until you use the right words/enchantment and if you use the wrong one it insults you (but doesn't show the map) so if he's seeing the map I think he probably knows how to use it? Maybe with so few students he didn't see anyone when quickly looking it over?

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:45, August 29, 2019 (UTC) He nodded slowly. "Yes and no." He smiled a bit. "It's nice to have a break when the professors are really keeping our noses right up against the grindstone." OOC: Right, Renee inherited it when Lily's possessions fell to her. I figured that he had it blank, but that Renee knew it was a map from... some interaction with Lily. The piece I was trying to confirm was whether or not Renee was able to tell Philip how to use it, or if it was "here's what I'm pretty sure is a map of the school. Maybe someone there can teach you how to use it."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:47, August 29, 2019 (UTC) She'd give a sympathetic nod. "Ah...O.W.Ls really getting stressful?" OOC: I think you could go either way...I think Renee would know and could tell him or could have told him it's a map and he needed to figure it out himself.

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:48, August 29, 2019 (UTC) He nodded. "I've had the most Christmas homework this year that I've had any other year."

Caera wasn't exactly sure if she liked the Leaky Cauldron. As the name suggests, it was rather...leaky. A bit run down. However, over the past few months it had gotten a make over and was a lot more cleaner. Still rustic as ever but it was enough that Caera felt comfortable entering the premises. Caera liked the rustic look but didn't like having lunch and having a water droplet hit her in the middle of her forehead. Sitting in the backyard, she was taking a sip from a milkshake that looked bigger than her head. The straw was eye level to her. But it was tastey. She was meeting with Margaux. A girl who she had kept in contact with. Though maybe not her closest of friends, they were still friends.

Margaux Lefévre was a classy lady with classy tastes. The Leaky Cauldron wasn't necessarily her cup of tea, but it was good when keeping a low profile. Any half-veela in this day and age should be keeping low profile, especially after recent events with the riot. Margaux supported it fully, but kept away for safety reasons. She wasn't too keen on the idea of ending up in a cell, or Azkaban for that matter. Stepping inside the bar, it only took a few minutes before Margaux found Caera, next to a milkshake that was just about almost as big as her. She walked over with a polite sort of smile on her face, sliding in the chair across her former classmate. "Hey. I wasn't very late, was I?"

"No, I don't think so," Caera said when she heard Margaux's voice, turning her head to smile over at her. "I feel like it's been so long since I've seen you," she noted, sounding almost as if she was whining before leaning over the table to press her lips to the other girl's cheek in greeting, leaning back, still beaming. To think she'd once been jealous of the other. "I missed you."

“I’ve missed you, too,” she replied. If one were to tell her at the beginning of seventh year that the two would be close friends and meeting up after graduation, Margaux wouldn’t know what to think. The two never had ill feelings toward each other, but more so weren’t super close until the end of the school year. Margaux was grateful for their friendship, though, especially since she was just about her only friend coming out of Hogwarts that still lived in England. “It really has been a while. How have you been?”

”Kind of bored,” Caera confesses, “I think I’ve gotten use to freedom too much. All I’m doing is the bakery and some stuff at home. I’ve missed the Hogwarts life believe it or not. The responsibility and the classes and the people. I didn’t realise how much I liked it until I left. What about you?”

“That’s understandable. I miss it some, too.” Ish. Truthfully, Margaux had been ready to graduate school since day one of her seventh year, but she could still understand why Caera would miss it. “But I’m good! Recently got a position working for an art gallery. So, that’s been fun.”

"Oh, art gallery?" Caera asked tilting her head curiously. "Which one?" Caera asked. Really, she liked knowing where all her friends worked–just in case she was in the neighborhood, honestly. "Displaying anything?" Caera wasn't sure if Margaux was into art but she had to be somewhat if she was willing to work there...right? That was a logical conclusion. Caera thought anyway. Obviously, working for money and not interest was a foreign concept to her.

“Monde Irisé,” she pronounced the name of the gallery with her french accent. It wasn’t as strong as it was when first moving to England, but still very clearly there. “Not displaying anything, but I’d maybe like to one day. I’m not sure.” Even though she didn’t speak of it much with others, Margaux was a large fan of art. She often painted or sketched, occasionally creating a few pieces of pottery, too. It was relaxing. Did she want to be an artist for a living? She didn’t know. Unlike Caera, the half-veela grew up believing she needed to have the ‘best’ job with the highest pay. She had been raised believing she’d try and become an auror one day, whether if she’d enjoy the job or not. It was a little difficult for her to try to become an English auror right now, though. And Margaux was still young. Not even twenty. The job she had now was great and fun, and she’ll change things up when she’s ready. She wasn’t going to pressure herself.

Caera almost paled at the name, her smile freezing. It wasn't anything important but she knew that gallery and it was associated with...well, Leta. Feeling rather put off, Caera pushed away the milkshake. "Do you want that? It's too much for me," Caera said, her tone light. "I'm lactose intolerant so you know..." she trailed off with a shrug. As much as she loves dairy, she knows when to call it a day. Unless she wants to regret it. Her tolerance for it is slowly building though. "But I know that place. I like it. With it's Merlin paintings," Caera continued.

Margaux could read emotions from others plenty fine, especially from Caera who couldn't hide her feelings well at all. Or, at least what Margaux had presumed from knowing the other, she guessed. Her eyebrow momentarily quirked up at the strange response and freeze of the smile, but didn't question it. She wasn't nosy like that. "Oh, really? Thank you." Margaux had no problem taking the drink from Caera if she didn't want it. It was certainly better than if the milkshake was wasted, too. She took the large drink and brought the glass to try after. "Oh, pretty good. And, yeah, it's really quite nice. How is working at the bakery, though?"

"I love it!" Caera said with a beam. "I get to make all these treats and my boss is really cool too. I like her. It's a really nice place. I don't know how long I'll work there, though." Caera knew it made sense to work there. Maybe even open up her own bakery. But as much as she loved baking she couldn't see herself doing it for a career. She was scared she'd get bored of it and that terrified her.

"Do you have another possible career in mind?" she asked. "I understand what you mean, though. I have no idea what I want to do in ten years, but I just reckon I'll go with the flow and see what happens." Margaux's plan was just to be happy and work hard for her job right now, honestly. It's harder and harder for half-breeds when finding jobs nowadays, so she felt quite lucky to find one so quick.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe something in animation, but I don't know," Caera said with a shrug, "I keep thinking I have years to make the decision but then I realise I'm nearing my twenties–I kind of have to start thinking about it now, don't I?" Caera smiled softly over at her friend. "So...how's the, you know..." Caera trailed off, "precinct," she said, forcing herself to say the word. Caera knew what it was like in there. Or at least could have a good guess. Having lived in a roma and sinti camp for some years, she knew some equivalent of the precinct. "You know if you want to hide in my apartment you can." Caera didn't care if she was arrested for it, quite frankly.

"Animation is interesting. That would be a fun career." Confusion showed on her face as Caera's trailed off at a word, but quickly understand when the other finally managed to get the word out. "I mean, well, it's not good. Clearly not. But I manage. I can get out for a good amount of time for work, so I stay out outside as long as I can without getting into any trouble." Taking another sip of the milkshake, her eyebrows just about skyrocketed at her friend's latter statement. "No, no, no," she said, quickly while putting the drink down. "That's so nice, but I couldn't put any of that on you. It's too dangerous. I'll be okay."

You don't know that. Caera held her tongue, though. She didn't know that either but–Caera could just be hopeful. Could just be optimistic. "Yeah, I'm sure you're right. He'll get booted out soon enough anyway," Caera said in an almost sing song voice. "Are you getting enough food? I read the article...if you want, I can try smuggle in a box of food. Like brownies or cookies? If you want. Would they let me do that? What if I gave them some of the brownies."

"Hopefully," she hummed, pretending she believed the same. Though, in all honesty, Margaux didn't know what she believed. How long the minister would stay in office, and what more damage he could cause with the time he had left. "Brownies and cookies? That's really sweet, but I don't know. The aurors will probably not let you get anything through the wall but... it's fine."

"I can try!" Caera said with a smile. "I'm sure if I let them have a taste they'll let me through. I just need to make sure I have enough goods for everyone." Caera paused at this. How many people were in there? How long would it take Caera to bake enough for them? Guess she's sticking with brownies. They're easier to make for a lot of people.

"Maybe," she responded. Margaux didn't believe it was possible, but she didn't want to burst her friend's bubble. She admired Caera's optimism and hopefulness. Margaux longed for a little bit of the other Slytherin Alumni's positivity. "You'd need to make a lot, though. I can help out if you end up baking them."

"I suppose it is as bad as she said," Caera said after a moment, uncharacteristically sober, "the population problem that is. But it's okay! There's always enough for everyone. Maybe we could look into some sort of charity organisation to help. Help with other things too. But still, if you ever need a place to crash then my door is always open. If it's as bad as they said then maybe they won't notice if one person, you know, disappears for a night or so."

"It is," Margaux confirmed, with a nod. She wasn't going to lie; the population problem in the Precinct was a big problem. The well known article from the Daily Prophet accurately described what it was like. "Finding some charity organisation would be really helpful," said, smiling at Caera's obvious signs of care. Not only for a friend, but for every half-breed suffering in a prison. "I'll let you know if I ever need a place to stay. Thank you. That really means a lot."

"Oh, don't worry about it!" Caera said with a beam. "I mean, I know what it's like to be in a place like that. It's not really a good place to live. I don't know what I would have done if I was in there alone. I had Titti so I was okay. I had everything I needed but...yeah, I don't know. That sort of place isn't a place I would wish upon anyone," she said with a shake of her head, looking rather somber for a moment. Of course, what she failed to mention was that she was talking about the Roma and Sinti camps in Italy. Not quite like the precinct but similar.

Margaux's face switched to a confused expression, eyebrows scrunched together and head tilted slightly. Her and Caera were close, but she didn't really know much about Caera's past. Only the basics like her having a twin, Titti, and being Italian. Margaux was a naturally curious person, and surprised she didn't know more of Caera's childhood. "What was the place? If you don't mind me asking."

Caera paused as she looked over at Margaux. She was always open with her past, even though it could be rather unsavory and a depressing topic. Moreso because she felt bad. Caera had access to everyone's secrets, their minds, but it wasn't a two way street. So she tried to balance it by oversharing constantly. "A Roma and Sinti camp," Caera confessed after a moment, looking down at the table, pretending to read the menu, "you know, a gypsy camp. I don't know if you've heard of them." Most people in the magical world haven't. "They're a nomadic people who live in muggle Europe and were segregated into these small communities around Italy. Sort of like ghettos. We kind of shoved in with them for a while."

"Oh," Margaux said shortly after, surprised of the confession. Margaux knew of the camps, but wasn't very knowledgeable on the topic overall. She'd likely research later. Nevertheless, from living in the Precinct, she could imagine the two were similar in ways. Not good. "I'm so sorry. I'm very glad you and your sister are here and well now."
