He held a rag in one hand which was pressed against the wood grain of the bar. It was quickly moving into evening and the pub's proprietor knew that the students at Hogwarts were returning to the school. Some not returning, but arriving for their first time.<br/><br/>Finn fondly remembered his invitation to enroll in Hogwarts. From a muggle family, Finn had never experienced the wizarding world until that invitation was received. His family found the wonders of the world to be amazing. Leaving his family's pub in Dublin, Finn journeyed to the school and was introduced to magic. While never having been around magic, it took him some time to get the hang of it. In Hufflepuff that was accepted without question. His specialties focused him primarily in non-aggressive magic including potions, herbology, and the like.<br/><br/>At Hogwarts he also met Ivan. Ivan was in many ways the opposite of Finn. Ivan was well polished, proper, and at times very dark. He was a powerful wizard who mastered transfiguration and now served as the Transfiguration Professor and Head of Ravenclaw. Finn was a strong extrovert and often was the life of the party. Ivan tended to be quiet, introspective and cerebral.<br/><br/>But somehow they hit it off. Ivan was assigned to tutor Finn and at their first meeting sparks flew. Both literally - Finn botched a spell - and figuratively - their opposite chemistry was perfect. Years later the two were committed to one another even through their differences.<br/><br/>Finn turned his attention back to the bar, "aguamenti!"<br/><br/>Water emerged from his wand to wash away the soap. Finn wiped the water up with his towel, tucked it into his waist. There would be much celebration with the new school years and The Three Broomsticks was ready.<br/><br/>
