Tam Time Episode Three: Candy Shop Convo (Athena)

[Deleted]

Ronny was strutting along with his hands in his pockets on one of the streets of the Wizarding part of London. He was just enjoying life and smiling and winking at every pretty lady he passed. He then made his way up to a candy shop and raised an eyebrow.

"How fortunate," he said. "I do have a sweet tooth for candy too. I think it's Tam Time for a chocolate bar." As he stepped in, he saw a number of pretty ladies inside there. The first he walked over to was a lovely cashier who glowed at him. He leaned on the counter and smiled back at her.

"I'm looking for something sweet that I can take home with me," he said. "Could you help me with that, pretty lady?" As she tried to respond, he looked over and say another pretty lady. Not only that, she was a Quidditch Player herself. Miss Athena Persephone Davis. Ronny strutted over to her and grinned, leaving the cashier still spell bound and trying to answer him.

"Why hello, Miss Davis," he said. "I can see why we both like the candy shop. It's obvious we both have good taste." Ronny then laughed and his voice changed to one more casual and genuinely friend. "Hey Athena, how's it been? It's been a long time."

Athena saw Ronny walk in a rolled her eyes, he was always chatting up some random girl it was ridiculously funny. Though that all changed when he spot it her. She quickly picked up a gummy bear on a stick and took a bite into it, it was enough to make her want to buy the whole container so she picked it up. "Why Mr.Tam I do believe you're right" she said resisting the eye roll that was to come.

"I'm fine just enjoying life as a quidditch star, can't wait to beat your team" she said smirking and handing the correct amount of money to the cashier. Ronny was always a flirt but also like an elder brother to her, unlike Jon he didn't mind her going to clubs and partying.

"Though i went to a place called the magical mayhem and Jon showed up and got upset i was there." She flipped her hair behind he shoulder as she bit into her candy treat.

Ronny laughed a little at the Quidditch challenge. However, he couldn't deny the girl was good. She was a very talented Seeker.

"Fair enough," he said. "I can't wait to see you try. Though somebody seems to have missed my performance against the Falmouth Falcons last weekend. I showed a hawk can beat a falcon any day." Even though Ronny obviously didn't turn into a hawk during the game.

Ronny knew Jonathan was trying to be protective of his sister, and it sort of made him feel bad sometimes that not only was he like a brother to Athena, but like the "cool brother". He couldn't say a lot though. He loved the club parties too.

"Eh, that's just his way of showing he loves you," she said. "I have a brother and sister of my own and I have to be the responsible one for them now and then. They're both still students and at those ages where all they discover a few of the 'forbidden pleasures' in the world. I have to make sure they don't get into anything they can't handle. Tell you what though. If he's that worried, I'll go to the Mayhem with you next time. We'll have some drinks and just have fun. What do you say?"

Athena snorted and rolled her eyes "No i saw it, you were pretty good" she said smirking, she would never play into Ronny's ego. She felt it was like her duty as a little sister to make sure he didn't get to big-headed, he would never settle down if he did. She inwardly groaned as she was starting to sound like her grandparents.

"I know, but still i was out with friends it was a little embarrassing and then a fan came up to me while we were arguing on the dance floor. It was the owner of the club thankfully she brushed it off, i wouldn't want to give my fans the wrong impression about me, ya know?" If she was being honest she didn't mind that Jon cared so much for her, she was just upset about the fan thing...it was the first time one had came up to her when she wasn't at a game. She thought of it as a milestone in her career.

"Why Mr. Tam that sound lovely" she said batting her eyelashes dramatically before breaking into hysterics, she couldn't keep a straight face after that. "but on serious note that sound lovely''

"Yeah," smirked Ronny back. "Yeah, just like you were 'pretty good' when you catch those Snitches. Come on, Athena, give credit where it's due. I laid waste to those Falcons... along with the rest of the team of course."

So Athena had met Jezebel Weiss? Ronny couldn't help but laugh at her worry of what Jez thought.

"Trust me, Athena, you're not going to offend Jez," he said. "That lady has probably seen it all at that club. I'm sure she knows that behind the celebrity, you're a real witch with a real witch's problems, and one of them is dealing with a protective brother. Don't let it bother you." Ronny appreciated people like Jez for seeing him as a real person. She did flirt with him a lot though. But then again, she flirted with everyone. Hell, she was worse at the habit than Ronny was.

Ronny laughed when Athena made it clear that the idea was lovely, in both a serious and goofy way.

"Well good," he said. "I usually go out with some of the teammates for a few drinks after a game, but they can live without me for one night. Tomorrow sound good to you?"

Athena rolled her eyes "Let's not get too cocky Ronny, you still have to face my team" She said laughing and nudging him playfully, though she could admit that he was a good quidditch player. Athena nodded at his words about Jez, she hopped they were true but that didn't stop the annoyance of Jon putting her in that position.

"Sure that sounds are there any cute guys on your team?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, of course she didn't know exactly who got signed with the recent graduation a lot of the retiring players were replaced with kids she went to school with, that being said she would know what she was dealing with more than her teammates.

"Tomorrow sounds awesome as i think Jon has to work and I don't have practice that next day" She was already planning her outfit in her head. She wondered if Ronny would be opposed to her flirting with one of her teammates after all it wasn't completely illegal to date a player from another team, it was just on your team you had to worry about.

Ronny smiled at the challenge to face Athena's team.

"I can't wait," he said. "Maybe you and I could go to the Department of Magical Games and Sports at the Ministry and talk them into putting us head to head. Or maybe you and I could play one-on-one on the Pitch just like old times. That was always fun, especially watching you get better and better at the sport. You made me proud and you still do."

Ronny then smirked when Athena asked about the cute guys on the team.

"Of course, I'm on it, aren't I?" he said with a laugh. "But yeah, lots of handsome guys on my team. Why, you thinking about coming to one of our practices and meeting one of them?" Ronny winked at this. "I'll show you who the good ones are. Some I won't trust around you."

Ronny nodded when Athena agreed to the next day.

"Tomorrow it is," he said. "But you have to get out on the dance floor with me. I have some new wicked moves to show off, and as I recall you have some of your own. That and I just miss dancing with you." Ronny didn't get mushy around too many people, but he had a big soft spot in his heart for Athena. He might not have been as protective as Jon, but he did want to be there for her like a big brother.

Athena laughed Maybe but make sure a lot of people are there to see me beat the tornado she said using finger quotes around the tornado part. She cared for Ronny as a brother but she couldn't resist bursting his bubble a little bit. Mostly because she knew all the girls fell for his charm and she might have been a victim at an earlier stage in her life.....like third year or something.

Not that she would ever tell him that cause she would never hear then end of it, even Jon might hold it against her. Oh really, though I heard you all got some new players, if I went to school with them in not interested she said while scrunching up her nose, no sense in dating what had been at her finger tips for seven years.....it got boring be cause she knew exactly how it would end.

Sounds fun, just no stuffy dancing save that for balls and fancy parties though she had a feeling everybody would be laughing at the making a fool of themselves on the dancefloor, she was just glad she was going to have fun.

Ronny laughed at the girl's continued words of confidence/

"We'll sell the place out," he said. "Considering I'm involved and all, that won't be too hard." Ronny winked at her again as he grabbed a pack of chocolate wands, his favorite candy.

Ronny laughed at her words about the players being around her age.

"Some are young, but some are around my age too," he said. "I could put a good word in for you for some of the older ones, though some of them already know a little about you. I tend to boast about how great a Seeker my adopted little sister is."

Ronny chuckled again and shook his head when Athena showed worry about the stuffy dancing.

"Oh I agree about that," he said. "I'm a tornado on the dance floor too, trust me. We'll rock the Mayhem like we rock the Pitch, milady." He then looked at the time. "Anyway, I could head out. I was on my way home to dress up for a date tonight. Redhead named Candy... oddly enough. She works at the owl emporium. Guess I ruffled her feathers the right way." He then laughed and hugged his friend, giving her a kiss on the cheek as well. "Take care, sweetheart. I'll see you tomorrow."

And with that he bought his chocolate wands and headed out.
