Matt exited the snowy streets of London into the wizard inn known as The Leaky Cauldron. He hadn't been there in years; it hadn't changed much. It was still dark, a little musty, but it felt good to be back in the company of somewhat sober wizards. He took off his scarf and jacket and walked up the counter of the bar. The place was full of wizards, drunk and sober ones. It was also decently late so everything was just getting started. He chuckled to himself and ordered a scotch from the bar then took a seat at the counter. He stared down into his glass and took a sip of it, feeling it go down his throat. He let out a content sigh and turned around on his stool. He was scoping out the selection of women for the night. There wasn't much competition and he knew if he tried he could get someone in bed with him. But that wasn't the kind of guy that he was-he had feelings and dignity.
He got off of his stool and made his way over to a particularly cute girl sitting by herself. Matt wanted to get back into the dating game and figured now was as good a time as ever. He had given himself plenty of time to heal. He took a seat across from the girl and smiled at her.
"Hi, my name is Matthew." he told her. "Who do you think you are? You can't just sit next to some random person without permission!" she said angrily at him. "Oh, well I just assumed-" the girl cut him off. "Get out of here before I burn your eyebrows off!"
In an instant Matt was out of that chair and back at the bar frowning. He downed the rest of his scotch and tapped the counter as to say that he wanted another one.
"Don't worry about it mate, she's always in here yelling at guys. I think she may be a lesbian because some really attractive guys have talked to her..." the guy next to Matt said. Matt looked at him blankly with disbelief-he wanted to see someone he knew bad.
