Leona walked into the bar very early on a Friday evening. She was still wearing her teaching robes as she entered to empty pub and sat down on the bar stool. This week had been a very frustrating one, at best. She hadn't really got to know a lot of people yet at it was driving her crazy. Oh, sure, some of the students were nice, but there were others.....oh were there others. Leona let out a soft pathetic howl as she ordered for a round of fire whiskey and sat back hoping that someone would show up so she can talk with an Adult for once.

Penn slouched into the pub, looking around with an appraising eye at the place. He was new to the area and didn't know anyone at all, so he figured he needed to get out and meet the local chappies before he was accused of being a hermit. He had no intention of getting drunk, per-say, but if it happened then hey! Spectacular!
So he ordered himself a drink and spotted a mop of pink hair. Intrigued, he walked over and spotted the woman he had seen...once, maybe, at the school. With no better option presented, he went and sat down beside her, raising his room temperature ale in a salutation to the woman.

"Gan Pai!" Leona said with mock enthusiasm. She quickly gulped down the drink and turned to look at the new person with an appraising gaze. "My mind's eye tells me you're new here," she said trying to get all of her freaky nature out in one shot. That is, if she could condense it that much.

Penn arched a well-maintained eyebrow at the woman, then shrugged.
"So you teach Divination or somethin' then, well that's right special inn't it? Congrats on that." He raised his ale and took a long draft before setting it down and smiling his most charming smile at her.
" 'm Penn Cambell, Hiya, and you are?" He asked, tilting his head a bit and looking expectantly at her.

"Well hello Mr. Penn Campbell Hiya," She said in a snicker not being able to help herself. "My name's Leona Peppercorn, and I happen to be the Divination professor at Hogwarts, yes," she said in a slow nod then looked up at the bartender wanting a Roman Coke this time. The bartender looked at her suspiciously then went to concoct her drink. "So how long have you been here Penn?" She asked him.

"Ah, not even long enough ta get a proper feel for the place even," Penn lamented, sighing deeply to himself. Then he broke into another smile and chuckled a bit as he finished off his ale. "I went ta school here an' all but you come back as an adult and suddenly things are all a bit barmy..." he shrugged at that.
He didn't have the right words to describe it, but luckily he didn't have to, because at that point a man went sailing right by them and out the front door. Penn watched, then laughed, looking at Leona to see if she had a sense of humor or not. Most of the diviners he knew were a bit dodgy, and never seemed to enjoy a good laugh even if their lives depended on it.

Leona watched Penn carefully as he spoke. She had to agree with him on the whole coming back to Hogwarts as adults things. Yet she didn't know why he was laughing. It didn't make sense, did she miss a joke. "I'm sorry did I mis the punch line?" She inquired then grabbed her Roman Coke as it was handed to her.
