Nirek had gotten on the train from Birmingham down to London without his mum in tow. His older sister, however, was. Nirek didn't like the idea of being chaperoned, but because he was 'only a boy' he was not to travel across the country on his own. Especially not with the Basilisks still at large.
Nirek had pointed out that the objectives of that group were not likely to target a Muggle bus - or even him, but his mum did not let up on the idea of letting him go alone. So, with a sigh, Nirek had followed his sister in to Muggle shop after Muggle shop, checking his watch because he still needed to get to Diagon Alley.
"Sarasi, for Merlin's sake, please can I just go to Diagon Alley? If I have to look at one more set of shoes I am going to die!" Nirek whined to his older sister, for the tenth time that afternoon. Sarasi made a motioning signal to go, and Nirek did not hesitate as he moved out of New Look and hurried along the streets towards The Leaky Cauldron. He looked in to the windows of the shops as he passed, not really looking for anything because he only had money enough to get his school supplies.
But, outside one of the cafe's on his way, Nirek was brought to a sharp stop as he noted someone all to familiar in the window. Waving at him. Allowing the witch a small smile, Nirek motioned to the door, and then moved towards it, letting himself in. "Cara?" Nirek asked, not really believing his eyes, but as he moved closer, it was definitely her. "Hey!" He greeted her with a warm smile. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in France?" He asked. He was glad to see her though, the holidays had been much too long already, and quite honestly, he hadn't been sure whether or not writing to Caramarienne was something he should do, given her family.
