As the stars shined above, casting shadows on all the innocent of shapes turning them dark and spooky in the sparkling snow. Blue eyes illuminated from under a black velvet hood, starring at the sky, as the fabric rippled behind the slim figure of a rather tall female. The sound of crunching underfoot was soft and soothing to the air, as it was the only footsteps heard. Tonight was a mid-December night, with airs of Christmas everywhere but break was not so close in sight. The dinning hall had been packed that afternoon buzzing with excitement and loud students. Even the staff table had been quite loud that evening. Which was why the librarian needed a drink.
Cassandra loved Christmas, but at the same time she hated the holiday. People were nice and she got to give presents to every one, but since she was real small she thought about how nice it would be to share one with her mother, and now that she actually could her mother was no where to be found like all the ones before. It was a feeling of abandonment again she felt every single year. With her hopes shattered she had sat silent at diner that evening listening to every one buzz about how they were gonna spend there holiday with their families, and she was gonna be stuck there the entire time, at least in the company of her books. It was enough to drive any Librarian to drink.
As she pushed through the door of the three broomsticks there were other professors and residents of hogsmeade cheering away but it was rather quiet compared to the hall they all had just left. Slowly she walked over to a bar stool and sat down, her feet just barely left the ground. Softly she placed her elbows on the table, as she did so one of her books fell out of her pocket, quickly she dashed under the bar to retrieve it when she heard the footsteps from the other side."I'm still here." she said softly gathering the loose pages together quickly. "I need the strongest you could give." she said straightening up her eyes still on the mass of pages she gently stuck into the cover.

It was here again,the holidays. The holidays meant nothing else than stress and a lot of work to do. At least that`s how Brayden felt about it when he was at work. Working as a bartender on the christmas days meant a lot more people coming to the three broomsticks to celebrate. It was either people coming there together or someone came there all alone. Brayden was standing behind the counter serving people the drinks they wanted. More and more people filled the place. He had to smile when someone was really feeling the christmas spirit tonight.
Christmas for Brayden was just a big celebration. He didn`t care that much about presents and stuff. It was the food,the booze and the company that mattered then. But this christmas Brayden had shifts every night at the three broomsticks. He was fine with that.
Brayden turned when he heard a voice coming from under the bar saying "i`m still here" . Brayden leaned over to see who it was. He saw long dark hair,and a female. He smiled a bit. " Oh yeah..well we have a lot of strong drinks here.." Brayden said and straightened up and reached for a bottle on the shelf,one of the strongest they had and a glass to pour it in. He put the glass down on the table infront of where she was sitting. " There you go .." Brayden said a little loud.

"Oh yeah..well we have a lot of strong drinks here.."
A males voice rang through Cass's ears but wasn't until she looked up the whole picture hit her. It was a good thing his back was turned because she managed to keep her book in her hands, but her jaw wasn't found until her turned around, and then her voice still didn't exist. Now she was kicking herself for not coming down sooner, this would have taken her mind off of her mother problems and just off of Jack even for a few seconds. Slowly she slide back onto the stool, and put her shambled book on the counter beside the drink he placed in front of her, the smooth liquid swirled around the glass. She sniffed it softly. "Thank you.. but" she only paused to down the glass.
"Is there anything stronger?" With a clink the glass touched the bar and it rang as she slid it back to him. Cassandra proudly could drink a sailor under the table, though she had a tall but small built her metabolism was higher then most, because since she was a sixteen year old french girl, she had drank anything she could get into reach. Which was the reason she had acquired so many magical artifacts, without stealing, cheating, or lying. Which had a good cue in her book, because she may be insane but she did well to not to be guilty about things. "I'm Cass, I work as the school librarian." she said straightening her book, placing the loose pages in the cover. Cass had decided she couldn't stay silent to every one for very longer.
It had been a long time since Cass had gotten dressed up and it had been even longer before she had thought about twirling her hair and smiling. Probably since she was eighteen Jack had swooped her off her feet, and since then she hadn't the dare to get dressed up for no reason. It was nice to feel nice without someone starring down everyone looking. Though she wasn't about to do anything drastic, she was going to enjoy smiling at the gentlemen across the bar.

Brayden looked at the person when she slid back onto the stool,and looked at him as well. He smiled a bit at her. He saw her taking the glass and pouring down the drink. Brayden raised an eyebrow when she downed it,but he was impressed since the drink was pretty strong. But it didn`t seem like a problem to this lady. Brayden looked at her.
" Anything else..hmm yeah there is " Brayden said and looked back upon the shelf and took down three new bottles with drinks they had never had here before. They were pretty strong so it would be interesting to see if she could handle them too. He put the bottles down infront of her. Three bottles it was. " Okey..choose which one you want..or you can get a sample of all three of them to see..which one you prefer the most.." Brayden suggested for her.
" Hey Cass,nice to meet you. I`m Brayden" Brayden said back and smiled. She was a good looking woman. "How is it to work as a librarian then..any fun ?" he asked and looked at her while pouring some drink to another customer.
Brayden liked talking to the people that came up to the bar. That way he learned a lot,heard things and kept updated on people. And it was social. Cass seemed to be a nice person,so Brayden wouldn`t mind talking more with her.

"Anything else..hmm yeah there is "
When the bartender turned around her placed three bottles in front of her and quickly she studied the liquids inside of them. " Okey..choose which one you want..or you can get a sample of all three of them to see..which one you prefer the most.." Cass smirked as if this was a challange he had presented her with. "I guess I can try all three, but I'd like to start with that one please." she said pointing at the dark bottle, it was intreging.
" Hey Cass,nice to meet you. I`m Brayden How is it to work as a librarian then..any fun ?"
Quietly she looked down at the book in front of her. "Peaceful chaos, yes deffinitely fun for me but pretty lonely, I mean well my job isn't like yours, bartending you must meet lots of different interesting people, I just have interesting books, and I have to deal with students who could careless about them.. Is bartending fun?" she asked softly her blue eyes watching him closing, it seamed like a great proffession for a friendly person, who could stand drunks. Cass would epically fale, since she couldn't stand how slushy men became after a few drinks.
There was a couple time she had to put drunk men in there place from grabbing her behind, to insulting her with their rediculus pick up lines, she deffinitely could not be dealing with them every day, she would go even more insane, and clincily that was impossible. So she didn't even think once that she would ever like to become one, but that didn't make her any less curious on what he thought of his job, as long as it kept him nearby she didn't care what they talked about.

Brayden smiled and looked at her as she seemed to like having options to pick between. He looked at her and grinned a bit as she was deciding what drink she was having. She wanted to try all three of them,but started with the dark bottle. Brayden smirked and looked at the bottle as she grabbed it. "That is a very good choice " he said and smiled as he poured the drink into a glass for her and place it infront of her. " There you go " Brayden said and smiled brighter.
As she started to talk about how she liked her job,Brayden downed a shot. It was good to take on sometimes,made him more alive he thought. He listened to her. " yeah i have to say that it sounds lonely being a librerian,just you with a bunch of books..except those students who comes in there to read a book.." Brayden said and looked at her. " Well yeah..bartending is very social and therefore this job was perfect for me since i love being social and meet new people." he said.
Brayden had met all kinds of people during the years he had been a bartender at this place. It was exciting and fun. And he had made a lot new friends because of this job. Some peple came to Brayden for advices as well. He liked that a lot. He looked over at Cass.
" How`s the drink ?" he asked her and smiled.

" There you go "
Slowly the process began again, smelling the liquid as she swirled it around, listening as she watched it swirl. Though she didn't think he would harm her, she was still in the habit for checking for poison or poitions. Since she was out of school she had been a theif and a drifter, people coming after them was a normal ocasion so strangers serving drinks made it necessary to check for safety, though she did it so gracefully, it was just as if she was examining a fine wine. Only those who had to do as long as she would even think of what she was doing. But as he spoke again she looked up placing the glass down, she watched him down his shot, and she took a small sip.
"yeah i have to say that it sounds lonely being a librerian,just you with a bunch of books..except those students who comes in there to read a book.."
Slowly Cass nodded her head, waiting for him to start again, she smirked a little as he lightened up a bit when he started talking about his job. "Well yeah..bartending is very social and therefore this job was perfect for me since i love being social and meet new people." It was an air about the way he spoke about his job that made her smile, she loved her job. She just didn't have the same glow as others had when they spoke of their positions. Maybe it was because she was so new at it, or the fact that she really didn't like teenagers that drove her to just love her lonely books, and not bragg as much as others did.
" How`s the drink ?"
Quickly she tipped it back letting the tingle sub side she she set down the glass. "Better." she said with a smile towards him, as she looked at the remainding bottles she picked the clearer liquid with her finger. "That one please." she said polietly as possible sliding the glass against the bar slowly to the bottle, the ringing noise sang quietly to just her. "Expectations suck you know that." she said softly, mostly to the table. "You know I planned that the first christmas I'd spend with my mother we'd decorate the tree, and make cookies. But noooo I wait my entire life for this and poof she's no where to be found. Can you believe that?" she said looking up at Brayden, she couldn't keep it from coming out any longer, the alcohol making her slowly relax enough to tell a complete stranger her problems.

Brayden grinned and looked at her as she started talking again. This was what Brayden did best. Talking to people. And they started talking about problems and things that they wanted to talk about,Brayden was there to help them out and give them good advices about it. He looked Cass over and smirked a bit. She seemed like she had something on her heart heart that she wanted to talk about. All Brayden did,was giving her enough time to give in and tell about it.
He smiled when she wanted to try the second drink that was standing on the counter in front of her. " alrighty then.." Brayden said and smiled and opened the bottle to pour into her empty glass. Brayden was having a good time getting to know Cass. She was good looking as well. Brayden was a flirty one,that was something that Brayden couldn`t hide away. He could get easily tempted by other women.
" Expectations huh..yeah they can suck pretty much.." Brayden said and sighed and kept his eyes on Cass. He listened to her talk about her mother and the christmas. Brayden pouted a bit and shook his head a little as well. " That is pretty sad..when she just can`t be found like that.." he said and looked at her and then pushed the full glass towards her. " It`s sad when people has to spend the time alone at christmas,i mean..it`s when you are suppose to spend the time with your family and friends.." Brayden said and looked at her.
He downed a new shot and smirked. He loved the taste of the drink. He looked Cass over and grinned. " So what is your plans for christmas now then Cass ?" he asked her and leaned over the counter looking at her.
