Zoe smiled as she looked at the dinosaurs. She had never truely had a chance to be in a mueseum before so she took the chance at it when her mother dropped her off in muggle london. She was agrivated because she had never wanted to be there but what could she do but sit and wait for her dear mother to return.
She walked into the museum with her tight jeans and tight red shirt with the hogwarts crest. To others the crest would appear as a funny symbol but to wizards and witches it was the emblum of the school they (mostly) loved. Her combat boots made thudding noises as she toured the art and people watched.

Salvador did not know what he was doing in a muggle museum... only that he liked culture, and - despite the fact that they were infested with muggles - he liked those in London in particular. The British Museum he liked cheifly for its mummies, and artifacts from ancient Egypt, and Greece. The Natural History Museum was interesting because of its dinosaurs, and the building itself - the entrance hall was particularly grand. But today, he was in the British museum - and had twice been asked if he was part of an exhibition, to his extreme irritation. He liked his style of dress... if a little eccentric, it was unique, and he adored the Victorian era. Besides, he would never start dressing as a modern muggle. He would die before that day came.
As he stood in front of a case containing a well-preserved, mummified corpse, a splash of bright red reflected in the glass and caught his eye. He turned slightly to see what it was, and saw a girl wearing a shirt that bore the Hogwarts crest. Most odd. His eyes followed her, though his head did not, wondering if the red was a symbol that she was in Gryffindor.

She laughed lightly as some of the muggles stared at her shirt as if it was sprouting wings and trying to fly. She just had a chrm on it to shimmer the school song underneith the crest, so the words were moving. She told them it was a shimery substance that changes in the light, but it was truly a charm.
She pulled her little tot-bag to her front and shifted through it for a muggle CD player and started to listen to the weird sisters and a few other wizarding bands. She had it magic'd so it was so loud it nearly blew her ears, but no muggle could hear it and it would be faint to wizards and witches. She saw a guy in medivel clothes and smiled at him as she continued her walk of the museum.

((Salvador: Medieval!? *is insulted* XD Dude, his clothes are Victorian ^^))
His eyes continued to follow her as she made her way past, and he returned her smile with a small smirk before moving further into the Egyptian exhibition to look at more mummies.
Salvador thought nothing more of the girl with the Hogwarts T-shirt until a few hours later, when a shock of red caught his eye again whilst he was sitting in one of the many museum cafés, drinking a cup of tea. From what he knew of muggle money, the prices there were extortionate - and the tea was God-awful. He glanced up, and saw 'Hogwarts T-shirt' making her way through the sea of packed tables, looking around for an empty one at which she could sit. But there were none.

(Ops! sorry.. I didn't mean to! mesa got confused... forgive me?)
She frowned. She saw some obnosous (sp?) boys waving at her but she kept moving. She walked up to the order bar and got a cherry coke and a cresaunt. She then turned back around and decided to sit somewhere outside on a bench if there were no open spaces. BUt just her luck, it started to rain lightly outside. She sighed in defeat.

(( of course... and I think it's ' obnoxious')) Meeting her eyes, Salvador nodded his head slightly in the direction of the seat opposite him, hoping to save her from the vulgarity of the muggle boys who had waved to her. He took another sip of his tea, waiting to see if she would take him up on his offer.

(I'm a terrible speller.. and thank you for forgiving me.. lol)
She saw the man in the VICTORIAN (LOL), styled clothes and nodded her head. She walked over to him and ignored the boy who had decided it would be nice to slap her behind. She did happen to slightly growl at the boy though, but hurried to the man. "Hello there." She said as she sat down opposite (sp?) of him.

((Salvador: Hmph... that's better *pouts* *grins* you're not that bad ^^ you spelt opposite right...))
Salvador rose a consescending eyebrow at the boy's behaviour, shooting him a disgusted glare. It was vulgar, and rather crude. Why were there such disgraces to the male half of the species in existance?
To the girl, however, he gave a small, pleasant smile. "I can assure you, I shall not display such terrible manners," he informed her, taking another sip of tea.

She smiled at him in gratefullness. "I'm sort of used to the immaturity of the younger half of the male population." She sighed. "I'm Zoe Lapiana, from the Italian Lapiana's." SHe said as she held out her hand for him to shake. She wasn't sure if he was a wizard, if he was she was close to positive that he would recognize the old wizarding name.
(I did? cool!)

Salvador didn't shake her hand. Instead, he took it gently and kissed it. "I see," he replied, the tone of his voice portraying the fact that he did recognise the name, and he gave a little smirk, resisting the temptation to tell her he was of the Riddle line. "Salvador DeWinter... it's a pleasure."

She smiled at him. DeWinter, she knew she had heard that name before but couldn't place it. She nodded at him. "Of that I'm sure Mr. DeWinter." She gracefully and slowly took her hand from his to pick up her drink to take a dainty sip. "So I take it, you are apart of the other world? The one without the obnoxious muggle boys?"

"That I am," he answered, letting his hand move back to rest on the table, beside his cup of tea. His elbows, as could have been expected from him, were not placed on the table. "But, please... do call me Salvador," he told her, seeing no harm in it. He wondered if she realised he was still at Hogwarts - though, she could be excused if she didn't, as he looked a lot older than he actually was.

She smirked. "OK then Salvador." She looked over his posture, a gentleman, rules out most of Gryffindor. No book, ruled out most of Ravenclaw. To brave to be a hufflepuff. So that left left 3 houses. "So, Are you still going to Hogwarts? Or are you graduated?" She said as a conversation starter.

Having been about to reach for the book he had in his inside pocket, Salvador decided against it - it seemed as though they were entering into conversation, and to read would appear rude as it would imply that he wasn't listening to her.
"Still going, actually... I'm in my seventh year. You?"
He surveyed her over the rim of the mug as he took another sip of tea, putting her down as a Gryffindor. She seemed to have quite a confident air about her, and the red of her shirt only enforced his opinion.

She smirked. She had heard that name before then. "7th Year student as well." She tore off a peice of her cresaunt and ate it. She loved them, expesailly when they were fruit filled. She washed down her tiny bite with a sip of her drink. "What house are you in? Ravenclaw?"
