The Three Broomsticks: Order of the Joberknoll

[ OOC Post Details Here ]

The Three Broomsticks has closed every Thursday night since before the end of the last war. Each of the new owners has followed suit when they picked up the place. The second one said it had to do with luck and honors. And Jo Harvelle, who snuck into the place more times than any could count a decade ago, seems to be following in all their stead with an easy, unruffable grace.






The Closed sign hangs carelessly askew, like normal, and the windows are dark.

(And it will remain that way unless you have an invitation of some kind.)

With a sigh that's been a long time coming, "these kids? They already know it doesn't."

She'll run with the less heavy topic. "History of Magic, for my sins. You can tell me you hated it, now."

There's a blink and a slow grin, tucking the flask back into his cloak and folding his arms on top of the table to face her. "No, I liked history. I mean, my professor was alive - still boring, but alive. Point was, I read a lot."

"Either someone told ou about my predeccessor or you've just come up with a subtle way to insult me." She's amused by it, in any case.

"What was your favourite part?"
