A blonde little girl whizzed by Effie catching her attention. She looked up from her books and notes at the new people who had entered the establishment. Recognition dawned on her as she saw Freya and Carrie, it was unusual to see them here. Carrie and Freya were dressed in winter gear, appropriate for the weather. It had been a while since Effie had last seen the Kings, probably not since Effie’s parents last Christmas party, she couldn’t quite recall. She had of course seen Hunter, their son, here and there at Hogwarts. The young woman used to babysit for the family as a teenager on her holidays and had thoroughly enjoyed her time with the happy children. The children’s parents, Carrie, and Jacob were lovely people to that she enjoyed spending time with, they had always treated her well. Her parents both spoke highly of Carrie and Jacob, and would hade been so horrified if Effie didn’t invite them to join her. Quickly she moved her books to the side and raised her hand, waving towards Carrie and Freya, she hadn’t seen Jacob yet. “Carrie! Freya! Hello!” she called out to them from her booth. She had a lot of work to do but she did have the weekend free to do it, a little bit of procrastination to catch up with old friends was alright she figured. Afterall it wasn’t often the Kings were in this neck of the woods.
