Aleksei had not yet made up their mind whether or not they would really be settling into Hogsmeade. Perhaps simply moving to the more magical side of London would suffice? They had a lot to think about. Aleksei had decided to spend some time in Hogsmeade to get an idea of what living there might be like. They had headed to Padmore Park and they had not been walking long when they were surprised by a swan that had swooped down out of nowhere. Weren't those birds supposed to migrate? "Are swans often in this park?" They couldn't help but ask of another visitor of the park.
