In the end, at the base of it all, he is a ravenclaw through and through. It all started with a not so short little article that he read in a corner of Daily Prophet. About how two strangers, who did not know each other before, could fall in love with each other just by asking and answering thirty six questions to each other. However, it was not just any thirty six questions. No. There was a list. Thirty six increasingly more personal questions, compiled neatly in a list. Free for any and all witches and wizard to read through and, if willing, to try out. And he was definitely interested in trying to do this on his own. Or, more accurately, with someone. Not just someone, but a stranger. A person who he have not met before or had known but not that well. He was not that picky. And so here he was today. Stepping into a rather quaint little cafe in a sunday morning. The day where it was statistically more probably for a person to be available for a long period of time compared to any other day. His eyes scanned the room, combing through the patron of the cafe and assessing each individual, until finally settled on a figure sitting by themselves by the window. Determination pushing his steps, Ashe unhurriedly made his way over. "Good morning," He greeted, a disarming smile on his lips, "Is this seat taken?" Based on this social experiment. Saw Ephraim Pickering and Rhys Kelly's thread and was intrigued. So, let's have a go at writing in English too?

As an Auror, Raquel doesn’t have clear working hours. She can work eight hours in her office, or can even work forty-eight hours outside the office if there is complicated field work. The last time, last week, she didn't even sleep for nearly seventy-two hours because she was stalking a target. After everything was done Raquel no longer put off taking time off.
And this Sunday is the first day of vacation.
Raquel accidentally had breakfast at a cafe near her apartment. During the time off she doesn’t want to burden herself with cooking and other household chores. Raquel wanted to relax and enjoy her leave in peace.
The aroma of chocolate from a glass of warm chocolate wafted around her as the waitress brought her order. At the same time she heard a question from a stranger in the place.
"Oh no, I'm alone." She answered while giving a welcome gesture. "Hi, I know you." She said then. But the person's name was not spoken because Raquel's memory suddenly went blank.

He recognized this witch.
"Thank you," was said still with a disarming smile pulling his lips. He eyed his tablemate, nodding faintly when she exclaimed that she knew him. Well, knew was too strong of a word. They worked together quite well that fateful day in Ilkley village, but the situation was too dire for them to exchange words beyond the bare minimum. Just enough to communicate their findings and warnings.
But at least, he knew for sure what her name is.
"I remember you. Charlton, right?" No first name, since he did not know. Did not bother to ask the last time they saw each other. Each too busy with the victims of the mudslide to chat. And at the end, he was too exhausted and irritated to socialize.
Now that he thought about it, did he even tell her his name?
Oh well, he could rectify that easily now.
"Ashe Kneafsey," further introduction was halted for a moment with the arrival of a waitress. Coffee, he requested. Knowing that particular order would usually come with a small serving of cream and sugar. He waited until the waitress was well on her way before resuming his chat. There was, after all, a goal to his madness this morning. Something that he wanted to achieve.
"Would you mind going through a social experiment with me?"

"I remember you. Charlton, right?"The man remembered her. Raquel smiled broadly, nodding her head. Their meeting the other day was short. Only focused on their work and finished just like that when the victims were rescued. But Raquel did not expect them to meet again in this place. Maybe this is what the universe calls a second chance? "Raquel Charlton." The girl held out her hand for a handshake. He also smiled at the waiter who came to bring a cup of coffee ordered by the man named Ashe Kneafsey. Raquel was drinking her hot chocolate when she heard Kneafsey ask a question. “A social experiment? Like what?" One eyebrow raised as she looked at his interlocutor. On the one hand, Raquel was curious as to what he meant, but on the one hand she was determined not to occupy herself during her days off. "If the experiment doesn't require both physical and mental, I don't mind." Raquel then smiled. "I'm on holiday." So she don't want to be burdened with anything.

"Nice finally getting to know your name," He replied, hand moving to shake the one that Raquel Charlton was holding out. The service was clearly top notch, seeing as his order came in a matter of minutes. He nodded his head at the waiter who brought his coffee, complete with the small jug filled with cream and a pot of sugar. So he busied himself with serving his coffee. A dash of cream and a teaspoon of sugar. Relaxing in his seat, Ashe sipped his coffee just as his tablemate had done with her own beverage. "Neither of those," Ashe was quick to reassure, carefully placing his cup back on top of the saucer. His dark eyes found those of Raquel Charlton, gaze meeting hers without hesitation. A bemused smile bloomed, "It is rather personal though." His hand moving then, reaching into the pocket of his coat. A carefully cut article was in his hold when he pulled his hand out. He put the article on the table, pushing it towards his tablemate, making sure that it was facing her and not him. His back relaxed back, hitting the back of the comfortable chair. Eyes now carefully examining her reaction as she read what was written. The question here was, if she would consent to answering these question which would be increasingly become more and more private in nature. They were, after all, virtually strangers.

The man said neither of those. Raquel suddenly smile softly, and when her eyes met Kneafsey's, she saw a slight awkwardness there. Raquel, who was curious, continued to stare at her interlocutor without taking her eyes off him. Even when the man reached into his coat pocket and pulled something out of it. Sheet of paper. "What's this?" Raquel shifted her chair closer to Kneafsey so she could read the paper he was shown more clearly. Her brow furrowed as she read the contents of the article. There were thirty-six questions written there. And those questions can bring two strangers closer. "Interesting." Raquel said as she smacked her finger on the paper. "Doesn’t matter. I don’t mind." She said again. “I have plenty of free time to answer those questions.” Raquel smiled then started cutting the sandwich in front of her. It's better if she fills her stomach first before doing this experiment, right? But her focus suddenly shifted as she felt something hit the toe of her shoe. Raquel glanced under the table and found Knut's coin there. "Is this yours?" She asked while showing it to Ashe Kneafsey . Then her attention turned to the vase in the middle of her desk. The flower vase looks strange because it is shaped like a stag with big horns. Raquel grabbed it and stared at it a little longer. “Has this thing been there before?” But why did Raquel just see it.

"An article. From the prophet," He answered quietly as Raquel Charlton read through the list of questions. It should be quite obvious what the list was about from the bold printed letters of the title. It was this title that caught his attention in the first place. The thirty six questions that can make two strangers fall in love. A bold title, for sure. Altough it appeared that lady luck was on his side this morning, for the first person whom he asked had agreed to participate in his whim. Unknowingly, his shoulders relaxed. The tenseness that before haunting his brows was gone. It was not that he feared rejection, but the prospect of having to again and again asked a stranger to go through the questions with him was undoubtedly daunting. "Perfect," He breathed out, lips unconsciously forming a smile. Then perhaps, he should order something other than coffee. Ashe raised a hand, catching the attention of the same waitress who took his order earlier. At the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of his tablemate glancing under the table. His order of a serving of crumpets were taken, just as a question was sent his way. "No, it isn't," Shaking his head, his brow furrowed. The witch seated together with him seemed to be bothered by something. His gazed moved, following hers and finding himself rather befuddled with the strange choice of vase that this cafe made. It looked rather out of place amongst the decor and ambience of the establishment, which was quite quaint and comfortable. "Honestly, I'm not sure. I haven't been paying attention, unfortunately." The waitress came back then with his order. A murmured gratutide was given, and he glanced across the table, "Should I start? Or do you want to go first?"
