Christmas had been the hardest for Hargus. It was the first time he had to go alone, and honestly, that was the worst thing he had to do for a year. He was unable to find another situation in which he defined as the saddest he had ever had to deal with. Not being able to celebrate a Christmas with the family or even a potential partner had reached a point where he realized that he was not quite sure what his next Christmas would be like. After the new year, Hargus had set out to change things. Everything that had happened in the previous year had to improve for the better. The first step would be to change some of the habits that had hindered his progress in seeking a partner.

Another goal would be to change the decoration of his apartment, find new hobbies... And what better place could it be? In Diagon Alley. There Hargus could find almost everything he needed. That’s why he was here. His blue eyes explored the area, looking for something flashy enough to get his attention. The first store he decided to enter was at Flourish and Blotts, where he did a little digging around for a book that would catch his eye. But it wasn’t all he was looking for, it was also cooking tips — having set himself the challenge of learning some elaborate dishes in the kitchen. He was going to be a lot more independent. And he needed no magic for that.

After having bought some books, Hargus left the store and walked towards the end of the alley, until he ended up running into a quite flashy shop, which was quite known to the students. He himself had seen some of them enjoy sweets and mischief items. He was evaluating his options, thinking about what to really do. Until his stomach roared slightly, that meant he was hungry. Hargus had a sweet tooth, so he decided to go into the store and look around to see what he could find. It didn’t have to be just sweets, but he was sure they offered at least some food service. Instead of entering, he stood outside, in front of the window, watching and thinking.

The idea of Christmas annoyed Clyde. From what he had heard over the years or was some holday time where people got together with friends and family to worship some old fat man who probably never existed. Or did they worship a tree. All he knew was that people tended to act differently, and there seemed to be a great lack in jobs around this time. All and all it was a great inconvenience.

One thing he had truly learned recently, was that aquantences usally expected gifts. That was a pain. But the last time he failed to remember a gift around this time. So this time he though he might as well get something ahead of time. Diagon Alley was a great place. You could get just about anything you needed. And for everything else, all he had to do was venture into the comfortable dark of Knockturn. Being out in the crowded streets around this time of year was far from his favorite so he had no intention of dragging his feet. Though getting a sweet treat wouldn't hurt. Approaching the shop he almost failed to notice the number of people who managed to be in the shop. He stopped just short, Sighing heavily he started to weigh his options. This place had good sweets, but was it worth it? Wrapped in though he hardly noticed the other man seemingly doing the same thing, gazing into the shop.
