Octavius!
Traveling with a rude, over sized ferret and a treasure hunting niffler was not the easiest of tasks. Nora hadn't the foresight to see the hassles that might occur as she'd transported larger, much sharper fanged creatures before. No, no, the scratches on her arms from Kenneth's early morning temper tantrum and the various holes chewed into her pockets because she'd forgotten about the good luck coins her mother often placed in her clothing when she set off on an expedition, had not even remotely been thought of. Nope, she'd just been excited for the weekend trip, having not a single assignment to take up her time.

It seemed like all of her friends were in Istanbul for the cup. Octavius had been there since the beginning, Delilah made her way over last week and was now planning to stay, Adrian's team was advancing to the next round, and Nico was gallivanting around with his partner-in-crime, Larkin. Nora really didn't have much of a care for quidditch, but she had actually never been to Turkey and found being lonely as a good excuse to make the trip. Plus! Lorenzo had been whimpering the last week in ways that could only be interpreted as missing his owner. She'd sent an express owl ahead of time to Nico to arrange where they could meet, in case something exciting popped up before hand (which it tended to, a lot), and the bustling, energetic Istanbul City Port was chosen for a dinner that would include this and that from the various street vendors and one of a kind restaurants.

Dinner, though, was supposed to have been over a half hour ago. Nora leaned forward on the railing overlooking the water, rubbing her hands together because the night was turning rather brisk. Letting out a breath, she decided she'd give it another fifteen minutes. Who knew how fast time flew here, yeah?
