He tilts his head in thought, and then sips at his water as it comes. What WAS he going to do? "Well...I need ta figure out where I'm livin', I think that's kind of important. Beyond that? ...get a job, somewhere on campus, maybe adopt a kid somewhere along the line and help 'em get through school, fun stuff like that." Penn stares down at his water as he thinks, then looks over at her and smirks. "And you, luv? What'll you be up ta in the comin' days?"

Adri Meadows was sitting inside the Serpent Pub...yes, in Knockturn Alley. The thought of this place made her cringe, yet here she was, sitting in a booth. The snaggle-toothed waitress had brought her a mug of some steaming brew, but she only stared at it and fiddled with it. She was nervous.
I don't understand why my horoscope would show that I needed to come here....
And you, luv? What'll you be up ta in the comin' days Adri jumped, bumping into her drink. She felt flustered and mopped up a puddle with her napkin as she tried to regain her composure. She blew out a deep breath and let a smile creep its way onto her lips. "Me? Well, I suppose I'll just be teaching, wrapping up the end of the school year." She paused and let go of the wet napkin. "I'm the astronomy teacher up at Hogwarts," she offered. She eyed the man, wondering if she'd ever met him before. Most likely not, yet he had an air that made her feel as if she could be at ease, even in a dingy pub in Knockturn Alley.

Penn turns his head as a voice answers from the other side of him. He takes a quick once-over of the woman beside him then laughs a little. "Well now, I seem to be hemmed in, eh?" he nods to the woman who had spoken. "Professors to my left and right. Go figure. And who would you be, luv, if I may be so bold as to ask? Ah! My manners." He bows his head low, since he didn't feel like getting up to bow. " 'M Penn Cambell."

Adri smiled. "I'm sorry; I wasn't sure whom you were addressing before. I'm Miss- er, Adri Meadows." She was so used to addressing herself to students by now, even though she'd only been teaching two years, that she often caught herself doing that. She would have shaken hands, but he was too far away. "So, Penn, are you new to the area?" She was just attempting polite conversation when she realized that if he was new, she probably wouldn't notice because she never entered this area. She hoped he wouldn't mind.

Penn nods as he listens, then smiles gently. "I am new, yeah. I was just makin' mates with Ms Leona here." He nods his head over to her, smiling politely at her. "Perhaps you know each other, seein' as how you're both professors at the school and all." Penn was beginning to get the feeling that the students of Hogwarts were in trouble. If all of their teachers spent this much time in a pub in Knockturn alley, he shuddered to think what the classes must have been like. Still the ladies were nice, if just a bit strange for speaking with HIM of all people. He liked the company though, so there was always that.

Adri glanced over Penn's shoulder and realized that one of her fellow teachers was there. "Oh, hello Leona," she said sweetly. She was surprised that she had not seen her there at first, but she supposed she'd been quite distracted by the dimly lit pub. She toyed with the napkin again, debating if it would be rude to leave.
She decided that, if tactfully done, it would be fine. Slowly, she pulled out the correct change from her purse and set it down on the table. She looked over at Penn and smiled. "Thank you for the conversation. I hope you settle into the area nicely." She stood up and grabbed her purse. "I should get going. Nice seeing you Leona." She walked out of the pub having hardly touched her drink, wondering what had drawn her there in the first place. At least she'd met someone pleasant.

Penn watchs Adri pay out her money and then frowns as she leaves. He raises an eyebrow then shrugs it off with a simple thought of 'pity for her' before turning and facing Leona again. "Oi, I thought we had a talk 'bout the drinkin'." He grabs the bottle of beer that had moved from it's early place on the bar towards the teacher quite a bit. He chuckles and takes a draft before glancing around the pub again. "Barmy sorta crowd you get 'round here, yeah?"
