Today was the first day of her vacation in England when she was heading out without Abaddon at her side. It was kind of weird, but it was also new and interesting. Sure, she was a little worried about getting lost, but it wasn't like she didn't have ways of getting around that. Being a witch was a lot easier than people thought sometimes. There were little signs all over that a place was wizard friendly, if you just knew how to look closely enough. It was in the mannerisms of the people, or maybe even the little carved signs that had something in there as though it was an afterthought. It never was. It was always intentional, a way to let witches and wizards know that they were welcome there because the place probably had others working there, if not actually owning the building themselves.

Even in the muggle world, there were places for wizards to go. They were usually run by squib families or the muggleborns. It was a way to bring the two worlds together, without destroying the Statue of Secrecy. After all, muggles could know about the world if their children were in it. It was just kind of normal. London was a lot nicer than what Raina was used to, though she was pretty sure that was just because she knew that she wouldn't have anyone lurking over her shoulder, watching to see what she was doing and who she was going to see. As much as she loved her brother, he drove her absolutely insane. This vacation was everything that she was going to need and it really couldn't have come at a better time.

The little cafe that she stumbled across happened to be exactly what she was used to seeing. It was quaint and looked like it was most definitely magic friendly. She didn't know for sure if it was and wouldn't dare risk anything in public, but it made her feel a little safer knowing that they had that symbol. She pushed the door open and made her way to the front to order a large coffee for herself. If she was going to be out all day, she was definitely going to need the energy boost that came with the brown liquid. Once it arrived, she paid and moved to claim a table, but paused when she noticed the man that entered. "Rough night?"

As nice as London was turning out to be, Raina knew that it wasn't a place that she would want to spend the rest of her life. The weather was nice and some of the people were great, but she was born for weather that was a little colder than what most people were used to. It was something that she and Abe often ended up talking about for one reason or another. They were quite a pair and the best part was that no one was any wiser to the little story that they had hatched. They never had to lie about where they met, since the Tri-Wizard was a really big help in that. It was just some of the finer details that were lies. They weren't really a couple, they weren't in love and they probably weren't going to end up marrying each other. Unless they were both forty and single. At that point, they would probably just decide they were destined to be platonic soulmates and get married. It was kind of like a best friend promise to one another.

Of course, that all depended on whether or not they found someone to be with before that time came about. Which brought her to the exhausted looking man in front of her. She offered a little smile and repeated her question, "Rough night?" That seemed to get his attention and got her a reply out of him, along with a rather attractive smile. A crazy night seemed to go hand in hand with a rough night. He didn't look like the type of guy that was going to be out clubbing all night, but she could have been wrong about that. It wouldn't have been the first time her impression of someone had been wrong and it probably wouldn't have been the last.

She hadn't been expecting him to ask her to sit with him and she hesitated a moment before catching that smile again. Raina found herself smiling back at him and gave a little nod of her head. "Sure. I'll grab us a table." She watched him move up to order before turning to get them a table where hopefully no one would bother them. Raina slipped into her seat and took a sip of her coffee while she waited for him to join her.

Raina could hardly deny that the French he spoke was a bit of a turn on. She had always had a thing for people who could speak foreign languages. Outside of English, Raina herself knew Russian and a fair bit of Norwegian, which helped her out when it came to Durmstrang. A lot of the kids seemed to speak some form of Norwegian, which made it extremely beneficial for her to do the same. Her older siblings had a hand in teaching her, but a lot of it was done on her own. The last thing she wanted was them to tell her that she was saying things wrong. At least they would be nice about it, especially Nik. She was pretty sure that was part of his evil ploy to keep her close to him forever and make sure that she never dated anyone. Well, no one other than Abe.

If only he knew.

She took a sip of her drink as she waited for the man to join her. Thankfully, she didn't have to wait too long and suddenly he was there and she found herself offering him a little smile. "Nice to meet you, Tobin. I'm Raina." There was a rush of thoughts in her head at that moment and one of the biggest was wondering how far she could get with him without getting into some kind of trouble. She could tell, just by how he acted, that he was older than she was. That wasn't really something that bothered her, since she doubted he was like in his late thirties. No, he was probably in his mid to upper twenties. That was something she could totally work with. After all, it was very likely that this was just going to be a summer fling. That was even assuming that he wanted something like that.

Raina, calm down. You're gettng ahead of yourself.

Her brows lifted when he got right into the story of how his night had been and she couldn't help but laugh a little. "Wow, that's great for them. I can imagine how excited they must be." Raina herself didn't really want any children right now. Then again, she was sixteen and unlike a lot of people that found themselves getting pregnant at that age, she just couldn't even fathom it. Not to mention the ways in which her family would murder whoever knocked her up. Though, to be fair, not a lot of people wanted to get too close to the girl who was the baby sister of the Dark Arts professor. Thwas part of why she was so excited about this. He didn't know who she was.

"Wait. Your shoe was in a plant and you were in a bathtub? You really had to have had a rought night," she said, laughing softly. "I don't think my night was anywhere near that interesting.
