Daniel was now an Applby Arrow, the same team his best friend played on. They had seen each other at the Quidditch Trials last month, but now it was all official and Dan was in England. He had already seen Raina and Irina and was finally going to have lunch with Dmitri. He was nervous, mostly because he had kissed Irina the last time he saw her. But, this was his best friend, right? And Dan had told him every single detail about the last few months. About struggling to deal with any emotions at all, to shutting down, to trying to get help, to realizing he could do this. He could do this. To telling him that he did still love Irina. To telling him he was trying out for the team. To moving to England. Dmitri knew it all.
He waited outside the Fountain of Fair Fortune in Horizon Alley, lifting up on his toes to try and see his friend, even though he really didn't need to stretch over the crowd in order to see. He wasn't short or anything. He was just eager.

Dmitri couldn't wait to see his friend again. Sure, sending owls almost daily to each other was nice, but there was something about speaking in the flesh that was unbeatable. All he wanted to do was run up to Daniel and wrap him up in a great big bear hug. Checking his wild hair in the mirror one more time, he spun on his heel and disapparated from his house with a pop!.
Reappearing in Horizon Alley, Dmitri check the last letter he had received from Daniel. He wanted to meet at the Fountain of Fair Fortune pub. Dmitri was fine with that. He could use a drink while he caught up - really caught up - with his best friend. He wandered down the unfamiliar streets of Horizon Alley, looking for a sign or something that would indicate he was in the right place. But it wasn't a sign he found. It was Daniel. With a wide grin on his face, Dmitri rushed up to Dan and threw his arms around him, squeezing tightly. When he finally pulled away, he smiled again and said, "So you're buying, right?"

Dmitri appeared and Daniels grin grew as well. Dan moved toward him as Dmitri came forward and accepted the hug wholeheartedly, squeezing back. Dmitri's emotions were a little sharp at first, all coming in at once, but after a short moment they blended together and started to make more sense. Dmitri pulled back and Dan chuckled at his comment, "I guess. I mean, I haven't gotten paid yet but," he shrugged. He started to lead the way inside, his hands finding his pockets of his jacket and hiding in there out of habit. "Are you taller?" he joked, bumping against his best friend with his shoulder as they moved toward a table. Maybe Dmitri was just more intimidating now that Dan was quite determined to be with his sister again. But, really, Dmitri was a big teddy bear and Dan knew that better than most.

Dmitri was beside himself with happiness. He tried to keep him emotions controlled out of concern for Dan's mental well-being, but he was too excited. His first instinct was to hound Dan with questions, but he knew most of the answers already from the hundreds of owls they had sent each other. He followed Dan inside, looking around and taking in the atmosphere of the pub. It was similar to The Leaky Cauldron, quaint and homey with a little more of a modern edge. He shoved his friend playfully before taking a seat. "Nah, mate, you've just gotten shorter. Must be taking one too many bludgers to the head." As the waiter approached, Dmitri quickly grabbed a flimsy drink menu and scanned it, not really reading any of the words and just hoping something would jump out at him. "Er, yeah, a glass of giggle water, please," he said as his eyes flashed over the name. He put the menu down, waiting for Dan to order. They had a lot to talk about.

Dmitris happiness was making Dan lightheaded, in a giddy kind of way. He felt like he wanted to constantly laugh and skip around... which were two things Dan didn't do often. Dan was shoved and he laughed out loud before sitting across from Dmriti. "Shorter!?" Dan protested, lifting a hand up to tap the top of his head. "Well... the bludger thing isn't far off," Dan muttered, chuckling as the waiter arrived. "Same thing," Dan said, paying about as much attention to the menu as Dmitri did.
The waiter bowed out and left them, and then Dan realized just how fast his heart was beating. He looked back at Dmitri, meeting his eyes and swallowing hard. "So. You. Me. Irina. Stuff. So... what do you think?" Smooooooth as usual, Danny boy.

The young man smiled and leaned back as far as his chair would allow, feeling it creak in protest under his weight. He finally felt himself starting to relax, the newness of seeing Dan again finally wearing off. His eyes followed the waiter as he left and then he refocused on Dan as the other male began spluttering out words. Dmitri's eyebrow raised and he crossed his arms across his broad chest as he studied Dan. Smiling, he said, "Think about what?" even though he already knew. He and Irina had gone out for drinks not too long ago, and she had told him about running into Daniel. Now, Dmitri wasn't the smartest man, but he was far from stupid especially where his little sister and best friend were involved. A relationship was brewing again, if it didn't already exist. But Dmitri wasn't going to fish for information. He was going to make Dan tell him.

As Dimtri raised his eyebrow and folded his arms, Dan felt his stomach start to implode. He winced a little as words came out of Dmritis mouth, then his jaw dropped once the words processed. He was... he was teasing him. He was smiling, and he was teasing him. "I saw her... she may have told you," he started, clearing his throat after the first sentence. "I'd like to try and date her again, since I've been doing better with my ability and all," he was talking fast, but his words were clear and loud enough to hear, "but you're my best friend and I get if you don't want me doing it, especially since I'm the biggest mess you know and you know that better than anyone," Dimtri knew that Daniel took on others emotions and sometimes couldn't wear them off for hours. He knew that Dan had been trying to improve, to control himself better, but that he still was mood swingy and snappy at times, even often. He would know that Dan was, for lack of a better term, a jerk more often then not. "I think she wants that, too," he added, "to be with me - I mean."
