Sirius sat slumped in the booth holding his bottle of butterbeer in front of him, swirling the liquid round in the bottom, watching it. They were waiting for Jaimi, and Sirius was hungry, but no, they couldn't order food without her. He could almost feel Moony's nerves pouring off him and smirked to himself almost in satisfaction. At least if he knew she was here, she couldn't e hanging around with that Atticus bloke. He'd heard another rumour about the two and it hadn't pleased him.
They had decided against pranking her when she arrived, deciding to save their skills to embarrass Kaine and damage the relationship he was forging with Jaimi.

Remus was fiddling with his napkin, then straightening his clothes. His shirt was too tight around his neck, and he kept pulling at it. He was constantly looking toward the front door of the Three Broomsticks waiting for Jaimi to enter. His Butterbeer sat on the table, hardly touched. "What if she decides not to come? What if she really thinks I'm an idiot? Why did I do this?"
He was reaching a high state of panic and he didn't know why. Remus took a few calming breaths and in an attempt to calm his nerves, he picked up his bottle of butterbeer and drank deeply from it. The drink soothed and warmed him, and he began to feel a little better. Looks to the door and sees her enter. He goes pale then grins and waves her over.

Jaimi's fingers ached due to bags she was carrying, from all the shops in the village. She was nervous about meeting Remus, and so had taken out her nerves on her slightly depleted money bag. As she headed towards the Three Broomsticks she found herself nervous once again, like butterflies were spiralling around her stomach.
She transferred all the bags to one hand and pushed open the door. She took a step inside, letting the door swing shut behind her. As per usual heads turned to see her scan the room looking for Remus, What if he wasn't here? Then she saw him waving and smiling at her, she smiled back and began to make her way over. Having seen who she was smiling at some of the heads turned back to their drinks or their own dates. Some however followed her all the way across the room. She dumped her bags under the table.
"Hi Remus," she said, laying her hand on his wrist for a moment before sitting down. "Sirius, and you must be James, I take it Peter wasn't able to come?" she said with a nod to Sirius and James. Her eyes flicked back to Remus for a moment and then down to the hands which she had laying gently in her lap, the way her grandmother had taught her to sit.

James was giggling at Remus and he shook his head. "Relax Moony, you'll explode in a minute." He nudged Sirius. laughing. "Oh of course she will come you half wit. She likes you doesn't she."
He was still grinning, when Jaimi walked in and came over to their table. He noticed her put her hand over Moony's and once again nudged Sirius. "Look at that." he muttered. He heard her speak to him and smiled. "Hi Jaimi. James Potter at your service. Glad you could make it. We thought old Remus here was about to spontaniously combust with nerves."

Sirius grinned as James nudged him, he too had noticed the 'more than a little friendly' contact Jaimi between Remus."Hey Jaimi, glad you could join us. Yes unfortunately Peter got himself a detention for a lack of homework." He also noticed her eyes flick to Remus and back to the hands in her lap.
Did she have to walk and sit so gracefully, he'd noticed everyone staring at her as she walked in, she seemed to take it in her stride, like it was normal. There were still a couple of guys at the bar looking at her. Six year Hufflepuffs, how he'd like to bash their heads in right now. "Another round of butterbeers?" he asked the table in general as he stood up to go to the bar. "We can order food in a minute."

Remus smiled and blushed as she put her hand over his. He gulped and spoke. Hi Jaimi." He wished he didn't feel so nervous. He groaned inwardly, as James told Jaimi how nervous he was. "Ignore him, he's just trying to embarrass me." He looked at Jaimi and noticed how she sat so gracefully. He caught her glance at him and he gave her a small smile. "Have you had a good time shopping?" he asked, by way of conversation.
When Sirius asked if they wanted a drink, he nodded. "Yes please Sirius." He pulled at his collar again. absent-mindedly.

Jaimi smiled indulgently at James' teasing words, in a way she was glad that Remus had been nervous too. She didn't feel so bad about her nerves now. "It's O.k. I was nervous too." she admitted quietly, as she blushed slightly. "Yes, thank you Sirius." she said smiling up at him. Why had she gone all polite and pathetic all of a sudden, her Veela blood surged with annoyance, luckily she could control it enough that it didn't show.
"Yes thanks, it's nice to have somewhere this close to school isn't it. We were escorted into the Village at Beauxbatons, it was smaller than this, we had a choice of one clothes shop and a cafe or to sit in the park by the river. It's nice to have a few more choices. Merlin I sound like a right airhead." she said with a sigh and smiled apologetically.

James watched Jaimi with mild interest. He wondered if she was being so prim and proper because she was trying to impress Moony. He made a mental note to try this approach with Evans, next time he saw her. He grinned at Remus. "As if I would do such a thing/" he said, with mock surprise. He nodded as Sirius asked them, if they wanted a drink. "Would you like me to come and help?" He asked rising slightly from his seat.

When he heard that she'd been nervous to, Remus smiled and relaxed. "Oh I'm so glad you said that. I thought you'd think I was a big wuss." He said with a smile. When she blushed, he placed his hand over hers, which was still on her lap and he gave it a gentle squeeze. He rolled his eyes at James. "Yes mate...You would."
He listened with interest about what it had been like at Beauxbatons and grinned. "No you don't. It's a girl thing, I get that." He sipped some of his Butterbeer, while he tried to think of something to say. "So how come you went to Beauxbatons, and what brought you to Hogwarts?"

"Can do if you want James." he said as he walked over to the bar and caught madam Rosmerta's eye. She nodded at him and he and James waited patiently at the bar to order their drinks. ((OOC - We'll give you two a couple of posts alone. ))

She smiled, glad that he didn't mind her being a bit girly sometimes. "Why would I think you were a wuss? Nerves are a natural part of human psychology." she said and now I sound like a geek, great. She smiled down at the Remus' hand, covering hers
"My Grandmother is French, my mum severely broke tradition by coming to Hogwarts to go to school. She married my father and I was born in England, but I loved France and Grandma to go to Beauxbatons, and so did I. So Mama conceeded and to Beauxbatons I went, I got to spend all my Holidays with my Grandma apart from a month over the summer which I spent at home." she sighed. "then father decided he could keep a better eye on my discipline if I was at Hogwarts and spun some story about Mama wanting me closer to home and Grandma being too old to look after me properly. As if a Veela ages like a human." she said exasperatedly. "so here I am, I'm glad though, I'd never have met you if I wasn't." she smiled again, and as she did her eyes sparkled with happiness.

James follows Sirius to the bar and decides to engage Madam Rosmerta in some light conversation, while they wait for their drinks to be served.

Remus watches his friends leave, and is glad that he and Jaimi had a chance to be alone for a while, however short it may be. He smiled, glad that she didn't think him a wuss. "Oh you know. Guys are supposed to have nerves of steel, or some such thing. To be honest, this is the first time I've ever asked a girl out, as it were, so the nerves took over a bit." He noticed her look at his hand on hers, and thought she might move her hand away. When she didn't he held her hand properly under the table. Knowing it was a bold move, he hoped that she wasn't offended.
He listened to her, holding her gaze as she spoke and when she'd finished, he smiled. "I'm glad you came here to." He said quietly. He blushed a little and coughed. "Your family sound like they care a great deal about you Jaimi. and at least they want what's best for you. Some people are not that fortunate." He idly stroked his thumb across the back of her hand, wishing he was more like Sirius or James right now, as they seemed to know what to say and ooze confidence. "Have you any plans for the rest of the day?" He asked finally.

Jaimi smiled, she thought it was sweet that he was nervous, and that wasn't a bad thing. "It's nice to know a guy is able to feel emotions, nobody's perfect, and some people forget that. Life is about knowing people, both their good points and bad, and accepting them as a package deal." Jaimi smiled as he held her hand properly under the table. There was no other way to describe it than that she it felt safe, and comfortable with it there.
"Mama and Grandma do, my Father is a different story." she said, subconsciously running her index finger down the scar on her left cheek. When Remus started running his thumb over the back of her hand she felt the skin where his thumb touched tingle slightly,as though in anticipation, she moved her thumb in between their hands and stroked his palm with her nail. "Nothing definite, although I do need to send my Grandma an owl, she sent me one yesterday and I need to reply. I suppose you lot need to continue planning your next maraudering exploit." she looked over to the bar where Sirius and James were still waiting to be served.

He smiled at what she said and nodded his head lightly. "Some might say I'm to sensitive for my own good." He indicated his head to the bar at Sirius and James. "But I agree, It's nice getting to know someone, faults and all. Though I suspect you don't have many." He smiled and when she moved her thumb, he felt his hand tingle. A smile formed on his face and he looked down at their hands.
Remus listened to what she told him of her family, and when she pointed at the scar on her cheek, he looked shocked. "How? Why?" he asked, unable to get out a proper sentence. He lifted his free hand and ran his finger delicately along the scar. He hadn't even noticed the imperfection before and probably wouldn't have noticed, if she hadn't mentioned it and pointed it out. He brought his hand back and blushed slightly. "Sorry." He muttered apologetically.
He really liked Jaimi and found that as he got to know her, he liked her more. He was lucky in a way, that most of his own scars were covered up by his clothes. He nodded about her plans for the day. "Oh well we managed to get a few things discussed before you arrived. I think the only future plan is to feed Sirius." He added with a grin.
