Turning the key and hearing the lock from the inside unlock the door, Mia turned the doorknob and opened the door to the Three Broomsticks. She was the proud new owner of the little tavern and was excited to get things in order to open up the place. Stepping inside the tavern, she flipped the lights on and glanced around. "Well, looks like I need to clean this place up a bit." Mia said as she scanned the room a little more before walking further into the tavern. Turning her head toward the door, she closed it behind her. Walked behind the counter and pulled a rag out and ran it under the faucet to wet it to clean the counters and tables.
An hour passed by as she had finished wiping down the last table, she stood up and brushed the strand of her long blond hair out of her face to glance up at the clock over on the wall. Walking back towards the counter and began to roam around to find where the alcohol was stored. After a few minutes of looking around she found the cellar where it was stored, it wasn't long that she began to bring some up and started stocking the shelves. Mia didn't realize that being a bar owner too so much effort into getting it set up let alone trying to run it would be. However, she has had experience in the field, so she was able to make it work for her.
Placing the last bottle of alcohol on the shelf, she heard the bell on the door ring indicating that someone had walked in which made her turn around "Evening love, what can I get you?" |

Ever since he settled in Knockturn, Keisuke never really went anywhere beyond Diagon Alley. He was still wary of his surroundings, and it wasn't impossible for the Japanese Ministry to actually send people to Europe in order to locate him. He didn't know if he deserved the fugitive status at all. The Ministry people were the ones that murdered his father. He was simply a man who stood up for what he believed in.
That evening, though, he was starting to feel ridiculous about staying holed up in his little store. There were no Japanese wizards around except for himself, and even if there were, he was almost sure he wouldn't be recognized by them. It wasn't like he was an evil dark overlord... yet. He finally found time to Apparate to Hosmeade. He heard it was a small Wizarding village located near Hogwarts. That made it even more interesting to him. He had heard about the said school and was curious about it.
Keisuke arrived at Hogsmeade at a time when not too many people were around anymore. The buildings were certainly different from the ones in Diagon and Knockturn. He wondered what the village would look like during daytime. He walked around for a bit before spotting a little tavern called 'The Three Broomsticks'. He decided to go inside to get a drink. As soon as he entered, he was promptly greeted by the bartender. Keisuke made his way to the bar and settled himself on one of the barstools.
"Just a firewhiskey," he replied with a faint smile. He clasped his hands in front of him. "Ne, do you run this place?" he asked the woman behind the counter.

Now that everything was in order, Mia was content with the ways things were. It had taken her a little over four hours to get her tavern in working conditions. From cluttter to clean within that amount of time was a time record for her, and in this case, she was quite proud of herself to get this far. It was then that the door had opened and the bell rung as they entered. Greeting the gentleman that walked in, a smile creased her lips and a simple nod of her head.
Mia reached up to grab a glass from above her head, as she did this she heard him ask about being ownership of the tavern. "Aye, I am." she replied looking at him while placing the glass on the counter. Turning around to the nicely stocked shelves of alcohol, Mia reached over a couple of bottles and pulled the fire whiskey from its spot. Returning to the counter, she popped the top on the bottle and began to pour the contents into the glass. "So what brings you to this fine establishment?" Mia inquired.
Being that he was her first customer, she figured that she would at least try to get to know him a little. What harm could it do? She lifted the bottle up to stop the liquid from pouring out of the glass and placed the cork back in to keep it fresh. Setting the bottle aside, she lifted the glass and placed it in front of the man. "Sorry my mind must have slipped a little bit today. Mia Persinger, pleasure to meet you." Mia said hoping for a pleasant introduction as she extended her hand out. |
