Block Me Out (Logan)

July 24, 2026

Enough time had passed since Elaine Dupree's attack on Hogwarts that it had stopped occupying Chrissy's every waking thought, though that might have been because of the number of potions she was taking on a daily basis to keep things that way. Being able to return to Ilvermorny after all, even with Lee's job, was strange, because Chrissy certainly hadn't expected that upon being adopted. She had gone from Ilvermorny to Hogwarts and was preparing to go back to Ilvermorny. From what she had heard, there were a lot of students from Hogwarts who were planning on going there, too, instead of Beauxbatons or Durmstrang, both of which were nearer geographically. Culturally, though, Chrissy supposed it made sense, but she'd had enough culture shock just from coming to Hogwarts that she didn't know what it would be like in reverse.

There wasn't much to do during the week while Lee was at work, and Chrissy had decided to start venturing out a little bit more from their flat. Because she was still underage, she couldn't go very far without taking the Knight Bus, but the shops of Diagon Alley were familiar territory. Occasionally, she saw flyers for the Blishwicks' pizza parlor in Hogsmeade, but Chrissy was sort of glad that that summer job hadn't worked out. It might have been useful to earn some more money to buy what she'd lost when her trunk had gone up in flames, but Lee had also made sure that she was taken care of.

Instead of getting pizza, Chrissy had decided to go into the ice cream parlor. From what little she knew of the Fortescue family, the business had been in their family for far longer than Jimbo Blishwick, the matchmaker, had been in the pizza business. It showed, too, because the flavors made sense, and nothing there was unnecessarily shaped like a heart.

After buying herself a scoop of strawberry ice cream in a cup, Chrissy found a seat at a table that faced the door. She dug her spoon into the ice cream but glanced up when she heard the door chime because someone else had entered.

Block me out

Location: Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour, Diagon Alley

It had been quite a while since Logan had stayed in his auntie's home, because of what happened at Hogwarts because of a... What was her name? Elena? Phew, he didn't remember. Logan sighed while he was at home in the attic where he slept and lived. He heard knocks on the door, turned out to be his aunt "Logan, I have to run some errands. Indigo told me you were planning on going to Diagon Alley, so you have some money to buy whatever you need." she said leaving a lot of money, he got up and looked at his aunt "Okay, thank you very much." he said smiling. Natasha nodded and told him to be cautious. The two hugged tightly, and then his aunt left the bedroom, leaving Logan alone. He was a little confused.

Logan thought about thanking his twin Indigo after having back from the alley, but now he had to focus on looking for an outfit, especially one that would allow him to warm up "Jeans... Let me see the good ones." Logan said, checking his wardrobe, looking for his favorite jeans. When he found them, he looked at himself in the mirror "They’re always so tight. And the shirt... Maybe this one from lyrca that’s thermal?" said looking the shirt. He took off his pants, went straight to the shower. He took a slow shower but with hot water, allowing the water to calm his body... He sighed and cleansed his body, and washed his hair with champoo. Five minutes later, he stepped out of the shower and used the hair dryer, He tilted his head and looked in the mirror.

Logan finished drying his hair, and put his clothes on. He walked through his bedroom, looking at his phone while he was biting a nail "Okay, I think I’ve got it all set." replied, and put on his clothes. Then a couple of rings on his fingers and the pendant "Now I do look comfortable but a little smug too." said laughing. Natasha had told him so many times that he was a smug, that to such an extent Logan stopped denying that he was. He left his bedroom, but made sure that he was carrying his wand and phone, in case Natasha or Indigo had to send him any message, he wrote to the family group that was now going to Diagon Alley, and asked to save his dinner, in case he was late and missed dinner with his family, hence why he asked.

Since he didn't have license, he was not allowed use the Apparition. So he used the floo-powder where it led directly to the fireplaces in Diagon Alley. He sighed as he held some green powder "To Diagon Alley!" he said, making a huge green flame to engulf him and disappear. He landed on the street, where he had to use a spell to clean up the dirt "Ugh! Luckily there are spells, I’d hate to be covered in dust." Logan said, snapping his tongue. He walked down the alley, looking for somewhere to keep him entertained. He had planned to buy some things for his home studies, because he wasn’t quite sure where he was going to be transferred. Logan arrived at the apothecary, where he was planning to buy some ingredients for potions.

Logan was looking around the store, found some gingers, gurdirroot and plants "I guess this will always be necessary." Logan said, stroking his chin, which he did when he was thinking. He nodded "I will definitely buy these ingredients, I’m sure my aunt won’t mind if I do." He said, paying some sickles for the ingredients he had taken. Then he came out of the store, realized that now it was much sunnier and it was hot "Fuck, it’s pretty hot." muttered looking around, seeing how people were walking. His stomach roared, and he realized "And now I’m very hungry... Where should I go, hm?" he asked thoughtfully. He looked around until he saw the ice cream shop, he made his way there and entered through the door, looking around.

The noise of the door opening was almost enough to spook Chrissy, even though she could see it directly in front of her. She didn't jump, though, and was grateful for it. It would be really hard to eat her ice cream if the sound of other people entering the place—coming into an ice cream parlor in the summertime, when it was essentially ice cream season—were to make her want to flee every few seconds. After having been at Hogwarts for a year and a half, Chrissy realized just how many people around her she actually recognized, if she didn't know them personally. The young man who had come into Florean Fortescue's was no exception. He was a Ravenclaw in her own year, a boy named Logan. He looked around, and Chrissy assumed that he was probably just looking for somebody he was supposed to be meeting there.

From her perspective as an Ilvermorny transfer student who had started a semester later than she should have when she had come to Hogwarts in her fourth year, Chrissy assumed that Logan was pretty popular, although he was quiet. She admittedly couldn't remember having seen him with a large group of people around him, but he drew people's attention. Even she found it difficult not to look at him, though she wasn't trying to be rude and stare. She knew what that was like, having come to Ilvermorny not very long after she had been in the news because she had been abducted by Witch-Hunters after her parents were killed.

Still looking up and over at Logan as she brought a spoonful of ice cream towards her mouth, Chrissy missed and practically jabbed herself in the face with the spoon instead, narrowly avoiding dropping ice cream on her lap. "Hi, Logan," she greeted him, smiling a little and very glad that she didn't have ice cream all over herself.

Logan’s mind was working at full speed, wondering how different his next course would be compared to this one "I have to admit I hate being out of Hogwarts, as if I were out of place." he whispered thoughtfully. The truth is that Logan was really overwhelmed by preparations all summer for the new course at Troy’s house. When he thought of Troy, he had a mixed feeling of nostalgia and a little anger, as he felt powerless about his feelings towards that man. It was almost indescribable what he felt, because there were too many things he felt, above all he needed to know what he was looking for in Troy, because as many feelings he had for him, he always needed to be sure that if that was what he was looking for and craving - but lately he hadn’t thought much about it.

Since he had been in Diagon Alley, Logan had seen many familiar faces, and the truth is that it was not a bad feeling really. Not that Logan was a popular student, but he was pretty well known. He snapped his tongue and observed how the shop was full of familiar faces, something that made him feel comfortable because it reminded him enough of Hogwarts, filling the nostalgia in his body pores "Too bad I didn’t realize it before, maybe it’s true that we don’t value what we have... Until we lose it." Logan commented, looking around for a few seconds. Someone approached where he was, and it turned out to be Chrysanthemum - or Chrissy to those who knew her. He smiled at her "Hey Chrissy! It’s good to see you here!" Logan said, noticing that he had come for ice cream.

He lifted his finger "Give me a couple of minutes, Chrissy. I’m going to buy some ice cream, I’m a little hungry. If you want you can sit down and I’ll go where you’re sitting." he replied with a smile. He did not wait for the girl’s response, so he went to the check-in "I would like to order double, flavored nougat and lemon ice-cream, with some chocolate chips around." replied, looking at the type of cones they sold "And I would like to pick the biggest cone, please." said using his charm as veela, knowing that it could have an effect on most people. The woman who worked there seemed to feel a little confused, most likely because of what Logan had done. He waited for his ice cream patiently, making noise with his shoe against the ground.

Logan greeted her in return, saying that it was good to see her there. She didn't get that reaction from many people, so maybe that was what made it difficult for her to pull her attention away from him. He told her to give him a few minutes, though, while he ordered his ice cream. That was okay by Chrissy. She couldn't use magic outside of school to keep her ice cream cold, unfortunately, but she somehow didn't mind too much.

When he mentioned finding somewhere to sit, Chrissy used her foot to nudge the chair that was opposite her at the table at which she was already sitting. She wasn't able to kick it outwards as smoothly as she would have liked, but she considered herself lucky that she hadn't pushed the chair hard enough for it to fall over. That would have been embarrassing in itself—and worse because she would have drawn attention to herself. "Actually, I—"

Chrissy kept looking at Logan as he got in the queue to order his ice cream but tried not to stare. He was just ordering ice cream, after all; that was about as normal as normal got. She couldn't hear what he was ordering, nor was she trying to eavesdrop. Instead, she brought her focus back to her own ice cream, taking another bite.
