“— oh, pardon me a second.” jasper excused himself from his conversation and strolled over to the bar, taking the first stool available. “don’t think i didn’t notice you making eyes at me for the past half hour. hi,” he said to the person now at his side, a self-assured smile across his face. when jasper next spoke, he leaned in close and lowered his voice. “aubrey over there won’t leave me alone and i’ve still got some time to kill before my shift.” he jerked a thumb behind him, pointing at the man who’d previously held his attention. “laugh like i just said something funny, okay? i’ll buy you a shot if you manage to get him to go away.”

angel had been preoccupied talking to the bartender animatedly so it took her a moment to catch jasper’s meaning but then she nodded along, quickly following it up with the laugh that he had asked for. and then, because no one could ever accuse angel of being subtle, she put a hand on her friend’s arm before leaning around Jasper and shooting a glare at the man in question. “hey, connard, he’s not interested. take a hint!” the man shot them an alarmed look before taking off and angel turned her attention back to jasper, scrunching her nose, “men-”. she rolled her eyes before grinning again, raising an eyebrow, “so, how about that shot?”

where: he do b home a lot i guess

The night has been quiet. Gripped with a sort of restlessness, he’s contemplating putting down the book that he’s been occupying himself with just as the familiar pop of apparation suggests that his sister has returned home. Laurent hadn’t even realized there was worry sitting in his chest until it unclenched, relief replacing it. Though there was always some semblance of worry for Celeste ( she had a wild heart, he knew that well ) now in the midst of a war, it could be magnified.

Eyes flick to the clock, realizing for the first time just how late it is, and then back to her as she enters. He quirks a brow, words uttered with a smile. “ Get lost on the way home? ”

Angel didn’t feel guilty about many things. She had always lived her life unapologetically, but then she had also never lied to Laurie. Had never seen a need to, really. What was there that she couldn’t tell him? A while ago she couldn’t even begin to imagine but it turned out she had found her answer. Deep down she knew that the longer she avoided telling her siblings, the worse it would be but that was a problem for future her.

“I went out for drinks with some friends and lost track of time,” she took off her jacket, tossing it on the back of the nearest chair without any care. It wasn’t technically a lie. They were her friends. There had been drinks. The only thing she wasn’t telling him was that it had been an Order meeting. That counted for something, right? She flopped down on the couch besides him resting her head on her brother’s shoulder for just a moment before plucking the book from his hand, “Is this good?”

Olivia should have know this would happen, but when Evangeline tugged on a strand of her mama’s ponytail and pointed excitedly at the storefront yelling, “Yummydukes! Yummydukes!” She had no choice but to make an unplanned stop. She sighed, but it was a dreamy kind of sound, smile curling on the edges of her lips as her daughter tried to grab just about everything within reach. “Kids, am I right?” She mused to no one in particular, eyes following the toddler around the shop. It wasn’t that long ago when Livvy was trying to coerce her daughter into taking her first steps. Now she had regrets as she chased her around the candy store. “I think I should just quit my job and work here. I spend galleons on confectioneries anyway and I bet they get a wicked discount.” Not that she needed it, but…

Angel was just about to pay for the frankly insane amount of chocolate she had just bought when she heard the familiar voice and then saw Evie running around the store. Angel left everything where it was, a delighted smile appearing on her lips, “mon ange!” she exclaimed bending down and opening her arms for a hug. Evie ran right into them and Angel embraced her tightly, “oh, i did miss you. your maman has been keeping you from me,” she added, throwing a grin at olivia. she stood up again, holding out her hand for evie to take as they made their way over to olivia together. “I’ve decided I’m angry with you,” she pouted jokingly but she was already reaching out to hug her, “It feels like a million years.”

who: open! where: a cute outdoor cafe when: afternoon

It was finally starting to feel like summer in England, the sun being out for what seemed like ages. Angel had stumbled on this place in her first week in England and seemed to return to it like clockwork. Everyone there knew her by now and the couple of times she had skipped a few weeks because she had been in France and forgotten to inform Samantha (the owner who ran the place along with her wife) she had been in for a lecture of a lifetime when she finally did come back. “So anyway, it was this close-” Angel was chattering excitedly to the person she had gotten hold of, indicating with her thumb and forefinger just how close it had been, “I was aiming for the Puddlemere Chaser but their Beater was aiming for me and I didn’t see but Laurie did and he pushed me out of the way-” She laughed. Her and Laurie did make one hell of a team and had saved each other countless times, “Which is why he’s my hero because otherwise I would not be sitting here. It worked out because I managed to take the shot and it gave us enough time for our Seeker to catch the Snitch and- we won!” she shrugged, a grin spreading across her face, clearly delighted. “Which is what matters.” She took a sip of her iced coffee, “But that’s enough about me - tell me what you’ve been up to.”
