A Coffee Life for Me (open)

Stella jumped out of bed, she was late she could feel it.  She whipped her head around and instantly saw her alarm clock it didn't go off she could cry, her mind was racing she was never late, but this morning was a whole new story apparently she rushed over to her closet and grabbed the first outfit she could see.  She raced down the stairs in her home and grabbed her light blue pumps and left the house.  She arrived at her doctor's just in time for her appointment, 'thank goodness,' she thought.  Her appointment went pretty quick and she was out in no time, it was only a routine check-up. Anytime she was late she usually spent the rest of the day in a pretty awful day. 

Stella left her doctor's office and walked onto the streets and started her search for any place that sold coffee.  She finally spotted a place it looked like it would hopefully sell a good cup of coffee.  She opened the door and order the largest cup of coffee they would give her.  "Thank you," she said as she brought her cup of coffee over to a table and sat down ready to finally take a break from being rushed all morning.  Hopefully the day would start to calm down now that she'd found a place to just sit and relax. 

It was a normal day for Gina she woke up and opened the wand shop at seven am sharp like every morning. It was slow going today and at nine am she decided it was ok to close for an hour and pop over to the coffee shop and grab a cup and something to eat. Before heading out she set the magical alarms and and magically locked the door. She walked down Diagon Alley to her favorite Coffee shop and entered it. There was only one other person inside she noticed upon entering which was kind of surprising. Must be a slow day for them as well. She quickly ordered her usual along with a banana nut muffin. She took a seat near the other girl. Gina figured she should be polite and at least greet her. "Good Morning, lovely day today isn't it?" She gave a friendly smile than took a small sip of her cup of coffee and sighed softly. "They make the best coffee here," she said mostly to herself.

Stella was so glad that she was finally able to relax and have a good cup of coffee. Stella glanced up when she heard another girls voice, she'd sat down near her and commented on the day. "It's quite nice out," Stella replied with a smile and took another sip of coffee she loved a good cup of coffee, this place seemed to have good coffee. "They do make a good cup," Stella said softly. She wasn't sure if the other girl was talking to her or not, but thought she'd agree with her anyways. Stella took another sip of her coffee and glanced over at the girl, she was pretty sure she recognized the girl from somewhere, probably school, that was usually where she recognized people from. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude at all, but did you go to Hogwarts? I recognize you from somewhere," Stella asked softly, she really didn't like that feeling of not knowing where she knew someone from, it was a huge pet peeve for her.

Gina gave a friendly smile when the girl agreed with her about the coffee. She took another sip of her coffee than a small bite of her muffin. "You should try their muffins, they make them from scratch every morning." She took another sip, this was nice a little small talk, a good cup of coffee and a delicious muffin. The perfect way to start the day. As she looked up at the woman as she began to talk again she felt a twinge of recognition. So she wasn't the only one who felt they knew each other or have seen each other before. "Yes I did go to Hogwarts I was in Ravenclaw I graduated in 1996. What house where you in?" If she had been in Ravenclaw she would remember her more clearly wouldn't she? She hoped she would unless they graduated some years before her which was possible but it was also possible she could of graduated after her. She looked really young. But not fresh from Hogwarts young. She was definitely in her twenties.

Stella smiled at the thought of a good muffin, she really did like muffins. "Maybe next time, I do like a good muffin," Stella said softly. Stella smiled at the thought of a good breakfast, she didn't have time to make breakfast that morning. Stella was glad that she really recognized the girl, she always liked chatting with people, and people that she knew especially. "I was in Ravenclaw as well! I graduated in '93 though," Stella responded with a smile. She was pretty sure she remember seeing the girl at school sometime... "I'm Stella Montgomery, by the way," Stella mentioned softly, maybe a name would help the girl remember her. Stella was not usually good with names but faces were her thing. Stella couldn't believe how long it had been since she graduated Hogwarts. She didn't know a lot of people who were younger than her, she was the youngest in a family of seven, so she wasn't used to younger people.

Gina gave a small laugh. "Who doesn't like a good muffin?" She took another sip of her coffee and sighed. So she's a Ravenclaw Alumni as well. Three years ahead of her but she was sure they had talked at least once or twice through the years they where there together. She tried to think back to when she was a student and remember if she had known or talked to her. When she introduced herself she had to admit her name did sound very familiar but she just couldn't place it. "Well you definitely seam familiar but I just can't remember why. I'm Regina Ollivander but everyone calls me Gina." Maybe Stella will remember her and remind her why she seems so familiar. She also wondered how she would react upon hearing her last name. She didn't look like her grandfather. Yea she had silvery eyes but they weren't pure silver like her father and grandfather. Her eyes had a hint of brown in them so they were a bit darker than her grandfathers.
