Second Floor Common Room; Sunday Afternoon

A love for sports ran in the family so, naturally, Luke was excited about the World Cup final today. All of the teams he rooted for were kicked out of the tournament a while ago (seriously, Greece, what the hell?), so he didn't have much of an opinion on who he wanted to win. That little octopus guy picked Spain and his grandfather had a thing for Krakens so maybe he'd lean over that way.

Whatever, he just wanted to eat some popcorn and possibly see people duel with vuvuzelas.

[Well it's open, naturally]

"Oh whoa," Alex said, surprised by that. "Was the ref blind or something? That's crazy that he didn't get a red card."

Luke shrugged. "I'm sure Spain'll use the oversight to play harder."

"I'm Luke, by the way," he said, pretty sure that he hasn't met this girl yet.

"Let's hope they do. It could make for quite the game," Alex guessed.

"I'm Alex," she replied. "I'm on the third floor. I was hoping I could find some coffee down here," she added, gesturing to her empty mug.

"Nice to meet you," he said. Luke tilted his head to the side. "I'm not sure about the coffee situation in here, but if you're really desperate for it, I think I could help you out."

"You too," Alex said. "I might not survive without it," she half-joked. "You could? I'd owe you big time."

She would, too. She lived for coffee. Must be a New York thing.

"Nah, you won't have to owe me anything," Luke said. "Hold out your cup."

"If you say so," Alex replied and held out her cup.

"It'll just take a second." Luke smiled and gave a quick snap of his fingers and filled Alex's mug full of hot coffee. There was even room for milk, since he figured she probably wasn't the type to drink it black.

"Okay, that's awesome," Alex was impressed. "I need to learn how to do that."

Sadly, she didn't think a spell for instant coffee existed. And even if there was, she was fairly certain her dad would never tell.

"It's more of a family trait than anything learned," Luke told her. "At least that's how it is with me."

"Oh," Alex nodded in understanding. "Is it magic or something else?" Magic ran in her family. Not so much along the lines of powers, though.

"Just skills passed along from my father's bloodline," Luke said. "No magic involved."

Luke didn't think the gods would like being associated with a word that drew up images of old ladies turning mice into horses so some chick could go to a dance.

"That's quite a skill to have," Alex said. "Definitely comes in handy." Case in point.

"The only thing I can manage when it comes to liquids is levitating them." Or draining them, but when does that ever come in handy?
