Miyu grinned thoughtfully at Aiden's joke about ghost girlfriends. [color=limegreen]"That actually sounds like a good idea, but instead of just girlfriends I'd love to have a nice ghostly maid team."[/color] A quick glance at Artemis' face that clearly spelled disbelief and anger, only to make him returned her with an evil smirk, amused that the Gryffindor girl actually took his words too seriously.

He pushed away his finished fourth butterbeer and reached out for the fifth one while watching Noelle sending a bottle cork flying towards the trainee Healer at the jibe of a tarantula farm at the pure-blood witch's mansion. Miyu couldn't help but chipped in with, [color=limegreen]"Oh, and I wonder if she also rides on those huge tarantula she has bred with all her heart. Tarantula racing sounds kinda fun."[/color] He wouldn't be surprised if the Ravenclaw sent a flying cork in his way too just like with Aiden.

When Aiden suggested about a flying get-together since this was the first time they met each other after graduating from Hogwarts, Miyu had expected Artemis to protest because of her phobia with heights, but Noelle declined also. "On second thought, I don't feel like it. I need to go to Gringotts."

[color=limegreen]"Gringotts for me too. Besides, I don't have my broomstick with me now. I came here by the Underground."[/color]

Artemis raised her eyebrows. [color=red]"Hey, I took the Underground here also. How come I didn't see you?"[/color]

Miyu let out a sigh and patted the top of the Gryffindor's head. [color=limegreen]"How do you expect to find someone in an overcrowded train on a weekend?"[/color] He dodged swiftly when Artemis raised her hand to give him a hard smack.

[color=red]"[i]You![/i]"[/color]

Artemis forced the rest of her butterbeer down her throat before she slammed down the empty bottle on the wooden table and glowered at former Hufflepuff. She could still keep her fear in check if it was just a few feet above the ground, but that wouldn't be fun for the other three seasoned fliers, especially those two energetic boys.

She could still vividly remember how Miyu actually saved her in their first year from falling to her death when she was bullied by two of her enemies from Slytherin during one of their flying class, but the memories of all the naughty tricks that he had played on her throughout her Hogwarts life far surpassed the little graditude she had for him. She had felt a little smug when she heard that Moaning Myrtle was quite fond of him and Aiden's joke about the possibility of him getting ghostly girlfriends, though now when she thought of it that guy probably also used Myrtle for his pranks as much as he had used Peeves, and she felt a little sorry for the poor, moaning ghost girl.

She was glad that Noelle turned Aiden's offer down and suggested that they should be going to Gringotts - all of them had already finished their drinks, and Miyu in particular had five empty bottles before him. ([i][color=red]That jerk[/color][/i], she thought darkly.)

After they paid for their bills (and she felt annoyed again when she saw that Miyu was making Aiden to pay for him), the foursome went to the back of the Leaky Cauldron where the stone brick wall that would lead to Diagon Alley. Artemis did the honor of tapping the bricks before the wall shifted and revealed the archway to the busy magical street.

The Gryffindor girl noticed that the blond witch seemed to be getting increasingly nervous as they were moving closer and closer to the wizarding bank at the end of the road. She wasn't sure what the usually cool and composed Noelle was afraid about in Gringotts, but she grabbed the Ravenclaw girl's free hand and squeezed reassuringly.

Miyu had been eyeing at how oddly close Artemis and Noelle were - he knew very well that those two weren't exactly the best of friends, more like friendly rivals - but it didn't take him long to put the clues together. As the entrance to Gringotts came into clear view, he left Aiden to take the lead while he shuffled next to the former Ravenclaw.

[color=limegreen]"Say, are you actually scared of goblins?"[/color]
