The clinking of glassware could be heard from around as Aberforth Dumbledore was ready to tidy up the place for the night. There were still people coming in and out of the Inn, but only one customer stayed stationary in her seat. She sat at the counter under the watchful eye of Aberforth. The man knew her rather well and was rather good friends with her mother, everyone knowing that he would watch the littlest of the Weasleys whenever she came in to clear her thoughts and take a seat to simply have a glass of butterbeer.
The red hair of Ginny Weasley was tossed over her back as she sat on a stool at the counter. She leaned forward, her arms folded on the counter and her head resting ontop. Ginny was silent, tired, and wanting to clear his head and thoughts. She sighed and twirled her red hair around her index finger as she sipped butterbeer from her straw. Ginny sighed, twirling the straw around in circles, causing small ripples throughout the glass of liquid.
She sighed and sat up, resting her face against a fist, where her elbow was resting on the counter. She looked around her. The Inn was full tonight and she wanted to clear her head so instead of going up to her room, she had decided to come down to the Inn where she sometimes stayed with Aberforth as if he was somewhat like her own family. The door of the Inn opened, letting in the cool September air. Ginny pulled her black jacket closely around her. Thoughts of Harry flooded her mind at the moment.

Walking down the quiet streets, Othello gaze lazilly around at the boarded up shops and other places that have closed early for the night. Things have gotten rather eerie around Hogsmeade these days with Death Eaters and Dementors wandering around everywhere. No one wander the streets at night for a joyous laugh. Yet here was Otto, wandering the empty streets of Hogwarts. Apparently he was out to retrieve a student. Someone had tipped him off that one of the students never came back and he took it upon himself to find said student.
He fumbles through his robes to find a small bottle hidden away. Eyeing it curiously, he opens it and takes a sip. Well, a more pleasant taste then the usual, he thought, carefully pocketing away the Polyjuice potion. He had another good hour or two before the polyjuice effects finally wears off. Hopefully by then Severus had found the missing student.
Otto finds himself standing before the Hogs Head. This place seem rather bustling lately...he thought. Figuring that maybe he find the student where there's life, he enteres the Inn. He loved it when he's right. Someone with flaming red hair, back to him was sitting up at the counter. She stood out in the crowd so easilly. The Weasley girl, no doubt, he thought, rolling his eyes. All troublemakers they are. Taking one quick glance around, he casually comes walking up to Ginny, taking a seat besides her.
"What are you doing here?" He asks right off the bat without introduction. "Shouldn't you be back up at the school? The Professors won't like to hear a student went missing." He said with a serious tone.

Ginny's eyes snapped over to the boy beside her. 'Why do you care?" she muttered, taking another sip from her drink. He was a bit brash and Ginny didn't like the way he was talking to her. She brushed her red hair behind her ears and kept her eyes lazily settled on him. The boy was sometimes odd and to Ginny, he was smart. However, he did tend to forget his manners often times and now was probably one of them. Ginny sighed and looked over at Aberforth who gave her an encouraging look before disappearing into one of the back rooms.
Ginny had a displeased look on her face as she turned back to her new companion and her drink. She tugged on the edge of her school uniform's skirt. It made her uneasy that this boy was watching her so intently.

"Well, I'd care if one of my fellow Gryffindor ends up getting herself into trouble..." Hearing himself say Gryffindor made him shudder inside. That was half the reason anyway. Now that he was able to survey her as she brushed her beautiful red hair aside, she seem to have an awful lot of things on her mind by the way she seem unfocus even though she was looking at him.
Noticing her discomfort, he glance idly at a random mug sitting by the dirty sink behind the counter, placing his arms on the counter and folding his hands. "Are you ok?" He asks more calmly.

Ginny's hands grasped her drink tightly as she eyed the boy. She shook her head thinking about what he had just said. She was already in enough trouble as it was leading the rebellion against the school. She sighed and rested her head lightly on her palms, looking over at Othello.
"Look, it's just...I miss Harry and no one will understand that. The rebellion that Neville and I are leading is bringing a lot of my close friends to death. There's nothing I can really do right now," she sighed. She wanted so much to bang her head on the counter and hope that this was all a dream.

Oh, love sickness, Severus thought, disappointed. And here he thought it was something rather serious. And with Potter too, just his luck. All year he had been trying to shut the boy out of his thoughts but failing miserably every time he's reminded of the inevitable truth he must tell him. How troublesome is was...worrisome. Now his red head girlfriend is suffering for his reckless mission of whatever it is that Albus had refuse to tell him.
"Try me," said Otto as he looked to Aberforth who had reappeared and asked what he wanted to drink. He's seen it all, her feelings was nothing new, at least that's what he believed.
"And maybe you guys should consider stopping that rebellion of yours while you're ahead." less stress for me, he added to himself. He thought he do Potter a favor now and make sure his little girlfriend and pals didn't get themselves into deeper trouble. Taking a drink of his fire whiskey, he glance over at Ginny again. She was so pretty, now that he was able to look at her properly. No wonder she's popular with the guys.
