“I wouldn’t mind putting some more of those bastards in the ground.” The Death Eaters didn’t deserve to live and continue their murderous lines. Leaning back in her chair, she fiddled with the empty bottle in her hand. “She’s alright. Anxious to get out into the field.”

Daniel nodded at that. Back in school, he had always agreed with that mentality. Until one point, and shattered his friendship with the other based on something Bristol had told him. Yet, here he was, back in that same mindset Serena had. “I wouldn’t either.” Daniel said quietly before giving a soft smile, “Sounds like her.”

“Nope, no one has except Andy, actually.” It was still pretty new, but she was slowly getting used to it. “Thanks, but it’s okay. I like it, actually. Just… have to get used to living completely alone, you know?” It was her first time ever being completely on her own, and while she was used to solitude, it was something she had to get used to. But it was also nice, because she could do what she needed without worrying about overstepping boundaries or anyone finding out. 

Daniel nodded. Sounded about right when it came to terms with Loraly. Although he couldn’t help but worry with her being alone. Ever since what happened to Jaxon, Daniel was generally always worried about her. “Yea, I understand.” he gave a small smile, “Well, want to grab a bite here and maybe walk around a little? Been a while since we’ve seen each other.”

“Good. Moved into a new place. Kind of a shitehole but it’s mine so..” The brunette shrugged; she was actually quite fond of her new place. It was so small that it didn’t have her feeling as though something - someone - was missing. She was a bit restless as of late, but she was finally settling into what seemed to be a normalish life. 

“I haven’t been to the new place yet, huh?” Daniel asked remembering the time she had once asked him over; more for company than anything else. Although he wised he could help her; that she would ask if need be. “Well you’re always welcome to lodge up with me at a hotel if you ever need to get away for a night or two.”

“I wasn’t involved in the last attack either. Though I have to say that I don’t mind that it was the Death Eaters on the receiving end this time around.” Serena glanced down at her bottle as he brought up the drink and tilted it slightly to the right, checking how much she had left. She would need another soon, there was barely enough for a sip left in the bottom. “Sure, why not.” 

“Well thank goodness for that, at least,” Daniel said - genuinely meaning that since he didn’t want Serena, whom he previously called a friend, to get hurt. “Neither do I. Although I feel like they deserve a couple more to match us in losses.” He watched as she glanced down at her drink, nodding when she said yes. The Hufflepuff flagged a waitress down, ordering her another and himself one as well, “How’s Lexi?”

          Was she okay. Everyone wanted to know the answer to that seemingly-simple question, but she didn’t have one. Even now, when nothing was really wrong with her, okay wasn’t a word she’d have used. Explaining that would probably just make people look at her like she’d lost it, though. ‘ I guess. I just…, ‘ she shrugged, looking down at the ground. It was embarrassing to admit she was scared. ‘ It’s fine. I’m fine. ‘ Her words didn’t sound very convincing, but it was better than the truth.

Daniel watched Avery’s expression closely. He knew he cared for her; despite what he knew. And while that was a complex of its own, the Hufflepuff was still loyal as the namesake. “You know most people who say they’re fine more than once really aren’t,” he sighed softly, “Come on. Let’s go get a drink or something. All right?”

He wasted no time in joining the other guy, moving around the table to sit down across from him. “I don’t think I’ve seen you since we left Hogwarts,” he said with a chuckle. “I guess we’ve both been off in our own worlds, then? I’ve as good as I can be.” His smile faded slightly as he thought about Jennifer.

Daniel hummed in thought for a moment, thinking back on their time before shaking his head, “I don’t think so either. I meant to go to that party everyone was talking about, but got caught up in things.” Nodding, the Hufflepuff chuckled, “I’d say so. What have you been up to?” While Daniel saw the falter in Andrew’s smile, he better than to ask right away. First they had some catching up to do.

“I’m here, aren’t I? Better off than some people.” Serena took another sip of her butterbeer, wishing with every particle of her body that it was alcoholic. For a moment she thought about leaving the conversation at that. But regardless of how she felt about Daniel, she knew that he was still Lexi’s friend. And so she bit back the urge to be rude. “You?”

There was nothing Daniel could say to argue against that. After seeing the paper, he knew that there were plenty injured and even one dead. Nodding, he looked to Serena and shrugged slightly, “I wasn’t even there when the attack happened, so I’d say about the same.” His eyes went to her butterbeer, “Want another?”

averypucey:

           Daniel’s familiar voice surprised her - but it was almost comforting. At least it wasn’t a threat, which was about all she could really ask for. Though these things had a way of catching her by surprised. ‘ Oh, um….hi, ‘ she murmured, lowering her wand. He probably thought she was crazy right now, but she doubted he was the only one. The way people looked at her sometimes, she had a feeling that people thought she’d lost her mind. Some days she wasn’t entirely sure they were wrong.

The way he had caught her by surprise did not surpass Daniel in the slightest. He wondered what had Avery so on-edge. Yet then again, with all of the attacks as of late, it was perfectly understandable as to why. Even with their differences, he still only wished that she would be safe. “You okay?” he asked softly.

“Daniel.” Serena fought the urge to roll her eyes as the boy approached her. She had hoped that he would keep his distance and that she would finish her butterbeer without any issues. But of course that wasn’t her luck. 

There was an awkward silence as Daniel nodded from her reply. It was such a sick feeling in his stomach coming on, trying to hold it back as he knew that there was no way to get on better terms with her, “Been all right?” was all he could manage ask - genuinely concerned what with all of the attacks as of late.

He’d spent far too much time at the Leaky Cauldron than should have been necessary, but it was easier to make conversation with a few drinks in him. Andrew made his way to the bar, ordering a firewhiskey before scanning the room. Once he spotted Daniel, he took the glass and made his was over, patting the other guy on the back. “Hey, mate, how’ve you been?”

“Well, well. Andrew Davies.” Daniel chuckled as the other made his way over to him.  The Hufflepuff moved to pull out the chair across from him and smiled up, “It really has been a long time, huh?” he signaled to the seat, “Sit down and share a drink with me.” A chuckle surpassed his lips, “I’ve been all right, and yourself?”

Serena sipped on her butterbeer in the far back corner of the pub, her eyes sweeping over the crowd, searching for any sign of impending trouble or chaos. It was hard for her to simply relax out in public settings after the seemingly unending stream of attacks. She was always on guard, always ready to spring into action should the need arise. Movement at the door caught her attention and she let out a irritated huff at the sight of Daniel Abbott walking through the entrance. And the afternoon had been so pleasant. 

Sipping the warm wine from his mug, Daniel scanned the Leaky Cauldron for any familiar faces. It had been far too long since he had spent any proper time with friends. However, the face his did spot he would not exactly call a friend anymore. Serena. It was a bit sad, thinking back on it, of how their friendship turned into more antagonistic than anything else. Yet, that was Daniel’s fault. Gulping, he looked down to try to avoid eye contact in case she had seen him. Although Daniel figured that game wouldn’t last very long and slowly went up to her, “Serena...”

Loraly had been heading back from work, looking forward to a quiet evening in her new flat, when she’d decided to stop by the Leaky Cauldron for a treat. Yes, it wouldn’t taste good to her, but it was the nostalgia that she was after. Instead, she noticed a familiar figure and took a seat beside him. “You look tired. Good practice?” She could only assume that he had come straight from the pitch thanks to the subtle undertone of sweat beneath his ‘recently-showered’ scent. 

While sipping at the spiced wine, Daniel felt a presence beside him. Looking over with an arched brow, his expression quickly took on a slight smile, “Hello Loraly,” and nodded, “Very tired and very good practice.” The Hufflepuff gave a small chuckle, “How have you been?” he asked carefully - she looked tired as well, but was always concerned when it came to her.

Daniel had spent most of his time as of late on the Quidditch pitch. From practice, to more games of the season, it was easy to get swept up and beyond busy. No time for family, let alone friends. Feeling he had been missing out, the Hufflepuff made his way to the Leaky Cauldron. A good, warm wine always helped when need be.

     She was nervous. Not surprising, given where she was ; the last time Avery had stepped foot in Knockturn Alley, it hadn’t ended well. but here she was all the same, trying not to show her fear as she walked down the familiar street. Part of her wished she hadn’t come alone, but having a witness to her shaking hands, the way she kept looking over her shoulder, starting at every sound - that would have been worse. And it wasn’t like she planned to stay long. Iust a quick step to one of the less reputable bookstores, for an out of publication charms book, and she’d be done. Hopefully. A rattle caught her attention, though, and she turned. There was a small gap between two of the buildings, where daylight couldn’t reach. And unless she was very confused, there was someone there, watching her. Her wand drawn, Avery shouted into the darkened space. ‘ Who’s there? I’ll - come out or I’ll hex you! ‘

For some reason or another, Daniel had turned up in Knockturn Alley. On accident or purpose, he wasn’t certain. All he knew was that he was trying to get more information about what had been progressing in the world while he had been off on Quidditch season. Perhaps this could have been one place he had hoped to find such pieces. However, what had turned up was Avery. Daniel wasn’t sure how to approach the situation, but quickly cleared his throat as she said the threat aloud, “Whoa...” he put his hands up, coming over to her, “Just me, Avery.”

She hummed softly, her hand reaching out to grab his sleeve and tug him from the establishment and into the street before releasing him once more. “Well, my mother did request I go out - make friends. Socialize again. I’ve enjoyed night life and the bars elsewhere… so long as you don’t have plans this evening perhaps I could persuade you to take me around?” She questioned. “I’ve been a lot of places. I grew up learning about muggle and magical feats - wars, architecture, the wonders of the world. And I suppose once I graduated I had no idea what to do with my life… I figured there was no better time to go see all those places then right then. So off I went. I’ve touched each continent at least once.” It was a fact she was rather proud of really. “You’ve got quite a good mind set.”

As Persephone went to grab his sleeve, Daniel almost laughed as he was tugged along. With everything that had happened this last year, it was hard for the Quidditch layer to lose himself so easily. But now, it seemed only natural. “I’m free as a bird,” he replied with  chuckle then listened to her It was all utterly fascinating. “At least once, huh?” he asked arching a brow, “So if you could go back to any right now, where would you go?” He then smiled, taking her hand “Well, you do as well,” and guided her over to the pub.

“Oh no, don’t worry about it, I’ve got it taken care of. It’ll be easier to clean it up once it drys anyway, that way it’s all more concentrated and not so messy.” Louis leaned up against the counter and nodded in agreement. “I totally understand what you mean, I work here and have access to all of these ingredients and I still find myself wandering into other potions shops when I happen upon them. We pretty much have any ingredient you could want and quite a large book collection along the side wall over there.” He gestured to the wall to the right of them.

That was certainly true. Daniel had his fair share of messes. Although, after an hour, he would just use a lot of magic harms to clean it all up. It just seemed more efficient that way. “What were you planning on making anyway?” Daniel asked, although he had an idea with the ingredients that Louis had mentioned. Smiling, he looked over to where he pointed, “Mind helping me look for a couple of things, then?”
