Julian led the way put of the pub and down into a small alley. There was barely a perceptible difference between Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, until they stepped out into the street. It was filled with light and people getting some air outside of The Leaky Cauldron, which was crowded.
"Festive enough, d'ya reckon?" Julian asked, diving into the crowd and making his way into the pub. It was nearly wall to wall people by now, so he headed into a less crowded corner, searching for a pair of empty seats.
