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 Phillip

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 13:48, January 21, 2020 (UTC) It was getting close to the new school year starting and somehow someone had convinced everything this should be some sort of family things, since so many of them needed school supplies now and it would only increase in the future. As such the normally mostly-empty cauldron had two dozen people seated around tables for breakfast and it was a lot louder and more chaotic than most mornings in the pub. Aria was sitting as "head" at the kids table, specifically near her twin brothers and Felicity who always seemed to be the three more interested in trouble than anything else...but they were all eating happily.

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 16:42, January 21, 2020 (UTC) He pushed the door open and noticed that there seemed to be some kind of family function going on, and briefly wondered if the pub was closed before he noticed Aria and gave her a little wave.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:16, January 21, 2020 (UTC) She'd notice Phillip and give him a smile. She'd glance around then stand and move over to Jonathan, stopping for a brief comment and an eye-roll from him, before heading over to Phillip, her voice a little louder over the din. "Hey! What are you doing here?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:07, January 21, 2020 (UTC) "Stopping through for food on my way to Diagon Alley." He looked around. She'd always said she had a huge family. "Is this your entire family?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:12, January 21, 2020 (UTC) She'd glance around taking stock. All her Aunts and Uncles and their kids...plus Aydan and his kids. "Most. There's one Aunt and cousin that live in Norway who aren't here...and the..." She's pause to consider. "Ex-Uncle? ...that goes with them not here." She'd glance around before smiling at him. "Would you...like to join us?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:17, January 21, 2020 (UTC) He glanced around. "Are you sure? I wouldn't want to interrupt family time." OOC: Would Aria know about Dakota? Charity wouldn't have told her.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:26, January 21, 2020 (UTC) She'd look around. "I'm sure nobody would mind as long as you don't." She'd hesitate. "I know they can be a lot." OOC: I'm sure she would have heard some stuff through the family grapevine. Jonathan/Karina knew and I'm sure Felicity would have some idea from Emily and she's not exactly the best secret keeper. :P If Aria had some idea what was going on and asked for some details I'm sure her parents would have at least given her something given she'll be at Hogwarts and possibly have him as a Professor...?

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:32, January 21, 2020 (UTC) "If they're fine with it, then I don't mind." He looked around at the full tables. "Where should we sit?" OOC: Jonathan/Karina's RP (that I think you're referencing) was about why Melinda and Eric got married so quickly. I do believe that Karina would know about Dakota, but as far as I know, Jonathan doesn't know details. But the rest follows.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:37, January 21, 2020 (UTC) She'd move back to the chair she'd been sitting in and pull another one right next to it pushing Felicity over a tiny bit to make the room. He'd have to squeeze in a little bit between Aria and Felicity but it wouldn't be too bad. There were large plates of food out on the tables so he'd just be able to serve himself. OOC: I could have sworn we did a RP where Karina and...someone went to talk to Charity about Dakota. I thought it was Jonathan. I think I also posted in his class about it being awkward for Aria...hmm...I'll have to go look.

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:22, January 21, 2020 (UTC) He smiled to Felicity and started putting food on his plate.

Felicity Bagman Hufflepuff First Year -Daughter of Thomas and Elle Bagman  – 19:22, January 21, 2020 (UTC) She didn't like being so squished. She looked up at the new boy. "Who are you?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:25, January 21, 2020 (UTC) She'd smile at Felicity. "He's a friend from school. His name is Phillip." OOC: 1, 2. Also I don't intend this to be a whole family RP...assuming most people are distracted by others/eating. ;)

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:29, January 21, 2020 (UTC) He noted that Aria hadn't specified boyfriend, but merely smiled. "It's nice to meet you."

Felicity Bagman Hufflepuff First Year -Daughter of Thomas and Elle Bagman  – 19:29, January 21, 2020 (UTC) She looked at him skeptically before re-engaging in conversation with the twins. OOC: Ah. I forgot. And I couldn't resist with Felicity. I figure a post every once and awhile would be fine.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:34, January 21, 2020 (UTC) She'd chuckle. "So...this is my family." She'd look around at them fondly. Clearly she was used to being part of such a large group and enjoyed being part of such a close group. OOC: Oh yeah, I have no problem with occasional posts/question from the others, but I know we want this to be more a RP for these two not another whole Bagman family thing.

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 21:16, January 21, 2020 (UTC) "Do you guys make a habit of taking over pubs for meals?" He asked with a grin.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 13:17, January 22, 2020 (UTC) She'd laugh. "No, but those of us going to Hogwarts are getting school supplies and the younger ones still need supplies for this year so someone suggested we all come out together so..." She'd shrug. "Where's your family?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 13:23, January 22, 2020 (UTC) "Ran into some old Ministry friends of Dad's outside. They told me to come find a table." OOC: Feel free to start one or both of the other RPs we talked about. :)

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 13:25, January 22, 2020 (UTC) "Oh." She'd frown glancing around. "So...should we wait for them or...?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 13:26, January 22, 2020 (UTC) He shook his head. "Nah, they're fine. And it's not like there's extra room at this table anyway."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 13:32, January 22, 2020 (UTC) She'd pause then nod. "Ok..." She'd take a bite then after chewing and swallowing ask, "So, here to get your own school stuff I assume?"

But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."  – 13:23, January 13, 2020 (UTC) She was sitting at a table nearby, also not headed back to work. She had a meeting with a Muggle family not long after lunch, and it didn't make sense to go back to work when she'd be leaving again. She was reviewing some paperwork at her table when the gusty winds of the door opening and closing shifted her parchments off the table. She stood to go fetch them.

Contrast to her loud and busy surroundings, full of conversations or arguments between friends and strangers, Margaux ironically stood out for her quiet nature while on top one of the bar stools. She had only stepped inside minutes before, no drink yet ordered and sat alone. She hadn't invited anyone to meet with, despite having done so at the pub with friends—aka Caera—occasionally in the past. Looking over her shoulder, she witnessed people crossing from London to Diagon Alley, as well as the opposite, passing through the doors easily. It was perfectly legal to do so now, the barrier ending just as much as Fitzgerald's reign. Putting things back to as they should be—normal, and Margaux desired to do the same, but she had never seen normal England. She had never lived through a time where the country was a safe space for half-breeds such as her, because she had carelessly come for her mother during the previous minister's rule. Margaux has assumed when the Precinct fell, it would feel like a sigh of relief, but her chest still felt tight and heavy. Nevertheless, she was trying to get to know an England that was being rebuilt for the better. Flickering her eyes back in front of the bar, she looked over at woman currently serving drinks, a smirk twitching on her face at the sight. Margaux would never, ever admit to her doing so though. Waiting for the familiar face to walk over so she could order a drink, she considered if this even was a good idea. She hadn't come to see Phoebe exactly, but she knew Phoebe owned the place. She also knew there was a bar much closer to her apartment if she only just wanted drinks.

If you asked Phoebe-she was glad Fitzgerald was gone. Honestly, the whole cleansing the wizarding world was such a headache that it just seemed less effort to just...let them be. That and, you know, the whole murder aspect was a little bit problematic, even for Phoebe. Plus, it was such an eye sore seeing that blasted barrier in her establishment. The ministry could piss off out of her own pub and just- not touch it. So she was glad she had the door too London open. She even gave the door a fresh new paint. A dark lavender with gold trims. It looked nice, if you asked Phoebe anyway. And as the owner, it was her opinion that mattered most. There was a small part of her, though, that was glad for another reason. Margaux. And how she wasn't in the precinct now and wasn't on the run. Phoebe could give you excuses-such as the dog, or how now she couldn't be arrested and her own place back to herself. But also, maybe she liked Margaux's company. Just maybe. So maybe, when she noticed Margaux walk in, she was a little bit happy too see her face. Phoebe knew exactly who was in her pub the moment they walked in, so Margaux was instantly on her radar. Of course, she didn't leap to go talk to her. Of course not. Phoebe wasn't that desperate. So she took the orders of a few other people, kept her waiting, and then waved Viola over too take over before she wandered over too Margaux. "My eyes are playing a trick on me. It can't be in Margaux sitting at my bar, could it?" She asked.

"Is my presence so surprising?" She quirked an eyebrow, but the corners of her lips raised even more towards Phoebe. In all truth, Margaux wasn't much a drinker and rarely frequented bars or pubs, so her appearance at The Leaky Cauldron could easily be considered unexpected. The two weren't close enough for Phoebe to know that though. "I wanted a drink, and I was told this was the best place to get one. Am I wrong?"

"Absolutely not," Phoebe said with a small grin, just because she liked to have her ego stroked. "Not that I have much competition anywhere in magical UK. Although I could give you a muggle establishment that might hold up." She went there with her brother once and nearly burnt the place down. A muggle establishment shouldn't have that good of a drink but apparently it did. "But mine's better." Especially since she stole all their recipes and improved on it the moment she could. "And I wouldn't say I'm surprised. Intrigued, maybe. So what can I get you? I can't see you as a fire whiskey type of drinker. Or any type of beer."

"Oooh, a Muggle establishment" she repeated, interest hinting in her tone. "I really haven't ventured out to the muggle parts of London yet. Maybe you can take me some time and show me the best spots. If you're ever free, of course." Margaux didn't really have that many friends, so perhaps she liked the idea of Phoebe becoming a closer one. That was it. "No? Oh, well, you're not wrong." She paused for a moment. "What would you recommend?"

"I can make you something on the house," Phoebe said pulling out ingredients for a cocktail of her own recipe. She didn't have a lot of them and only used them when people told her it was their birthday. But this could count as well. "Oh, I suppose I can, I do have a lot more free time now that I have Viola helping," she said, tilting her head to the girl, "but you could just come back."

"Sounds lovely." She observed Phoebe pulling out the ingredients, feeling a tinge of amused and shocked. Margaux didn't know how usual Phoebe offered the same to other customers, but it was a nice thought that it was rare rather than common. "I guess if I'm impressed by your drinks, I just might," she said, obviously still teasing at this point. "What days and times are you less busy?"

"Thursdays and Tuesdays," Phoebe responded instantly, "and Wednesdays. Turns out, no one's really looking to go out those nights. Monday, sometimes. Depends how shitty their days were at work, I suppose. And I have no doubt, no doubt, that you will be impressed. There's a reason this pub has been standing for so long."

Joey had a cap that was pulled low over his head as he drank a firewhiskey in the back corner of the pub. He didn't want to be recognised. Not tonight. He had just spent an evening with his twin brother and niece and didn't want to ruin it by having too many interruptions. He remembered someone saying that one needed to be important enough to have a place at the table but not important enough that your meal is interrupted. Or something like that. Not that any of them meant ill will and he would have greeted them with a smile. But he knew it could get overwhelming too his niece. However both had gone and it was just him left to sip at his drink, watching the people around him.

It took a moment for Joey to realise who had just sat down next to him and took a sip of his drink, watching him. Joey had heard of the guy-it was his job to know who was who and a tech giant appearing to want to expand into the UK was definitely something Joey was going to be aware of-but had never seen him in person. Why not make connections? Leaning forward, he said, with a big, rather goofy, grin. "Mr. el Rashidy, I presume?" He asked, offering his hand out to shake.

"Ah, but this makes it fun, no?" He said, tapping the glass with his finger as he pulled back. No, he was happy he met him here. It made it that when they were to meet in an office, which they were sure to do at some point, all the more easier to bear. Joey wasn't an office sort of guy and he preferred a more casual setting. "All alone?"

"Oh, I was with family for some food but they had to go. Kids have a bedtime that doesn't quite mash with mine," he said with a shrug. "So here I am. Too much socialisation? I can't fathom that. But I suppose it's my job to be able to socialise every minute of my day. So then you're settling in fine then?"
