#*and feels like they can help Meech with placing some charms on his broom or otherwise help or just hang out - feel free to join!*

[demetrius-haggarty]

Demetrius has been hanging out around the Bell Tower Courtyard for quite some time now. He is waiting for @ask-garreth-weasley and the only reason the wizard came here earlier was that he had nothing better to do, his classes done for the day. The weather went from simply cloudy to rainy to almost sunny in a short period of time. The little alcoves on the left-hand side after leaving the tower sheltered him from the rain while it lasted.

Not that Meech is bothered by the rain. His broom, however, is already in a rather miserable state as it was put together from at least two completely different brooms. As of right now Meech is sitting not far from the wall, his cloak is thrown to the ground: Demetrius does not particularly care if it gets wet while he is tinkering with the broom.

To somebody who is not familiar with the flying brooms, this one might seem rather normal. Meech made sure all the wooden components are fitted snuggly into the metal coil surrounding the head of the broom at its base. A dark red rope is encircling the lower part of the handle to make it sturdier until Meech saves up enough coins for a better saddle. Not a thread out of line, not a twig the wrong length, not a speckle of dirt present. The only problem with his broom now is that it cannot actually fly. Not yet.

With an old but rather sharp-looking pocket knife in his capable hands, the Gryffindor is carving out a barely visible intricate pattern on the handle, his mind elsewhere.
