“Oh God, my assistant is out sick and I told her not to worry and that I have everything covered but damn, I do not have everything covered,” Clarisse let out a sigh as she kept typing away on her laptop, her desk covered with various papers as she tried to somehow get her calendar in order. “I’m sorry, are we supposed to have a meeting right now? I was sure I was on my break…”

“No, I was sent by the temp agency to help out. Not here,  mopping floors in like a less important part of the building but they said I needed your clearance.” Hayley held out the piece of paper she had been given. Glancing at the chaos on the desk, she pursed her lips, “I mean I could help here? I’m technically allowed to help in whatever you need but like I’m a temp and this is like work that probably needs prior knowledge and training so yeah... if there’s anything I can do, let me know?”

"I wouldn't go in there, " Gabe commented, not looking up from what he was working on. He nodded back to the auror offices and shook his head. The last few days since Potter's retirement announcement had been a mess. "It's about to be the equivalent of no-maj World War 3."

“That bad?” Hayley pulled a face, holding up an envelope she’d been sent to deliver before leaning on the wall and looking dubiously at the door.. “Unfortunately I think I kind of have to go in. Although at least I’ll be an observer so I get to just laugh at the chaos and then come back out?”

“There’s nothing wrong with boring,” he responded, letting out a breath. Jackson stopped walking so he could turn around and look at her, expression twisting with each suggestion. “Honestly, what sounds interesting is the fact you thought me, of all people, would want to go on a spontaneous adventure,” Jackson replied. “How long have you known me?”

“You’re a quidditch player, where’s your sense of adventure.” Hayley teased. Rolling her eyes, she reached out and tugged on his arm. “You were just here at the right time, come on.” Hayley pouted, “I guarantee you’ll have fun, in fact I’m so certain you will, if you don’t I’ll give you 20 gold coins. But if you really insist we can do something boring like just go get coffee or something.”

Jackson blinked at her sudden presence beside him, having not expected her. “Uh, hi?” He put his phone away and turned to look at her, brow raised. “Well, considering you’re the one that just randomly poofed out of nowhere wanting to do something, I feel like that’s your call. Taking spontaneous adventures isn’t exactly my area of expertise.”

"And that's why you're boring. Spontaneous adventures are the best. I literally just got back from an adventure in Australia." Hayley hummed in thought, furrowing her eyebrows. "Okay, I'll give you three ideas and pick the one that sounds the most fun." She raised three fingers as she said the three ideas. "First, looking for dragons in the mountains - likely to be unsuccessful but still could be fun. Second, exploring the forbidden forest. Third, we could just explore Diagon Alley - probably boring but we could find something exciting. Anything sound interesting?"

Hayley had just gotten back from her impromptu vacation and she was already feeling bored and restless again. After handing out her resume to a few places in town, she was trudging begrudgingly down the street to the next place when she saw a familiar face walking ahead of her, she skipped ahead quickly catching up and grabbing his arm. “Hey, you. Fantastic timing. I’m so bored. Let’s do something fun. But it has to be free because I have no money and no job. And also nowhere to stay tonight but that is 7 hours in the future Hayley’s problem. Anyway, so free, fun, and preferably a little dangerous, any ideas?”

Hayley had to admit, she was happy there was finally something actually happening again in the CA after what had seemed like a long silence. Especially after the recent Death Eater activity, they needed to protect themselves from the purebloods. That being said it still wasn't all that fun seeing people she knew on the other side of the battlefield. So, she ducked into an alleyway, pulling off and casting an invisibility charm on her hood and cloak. Heading towards the doors to get in before they inevitably locked the doors, she heard footsteps, so she turned to face them, putting her wand out just in case. "Who's there?"

Alice giggled, walking along with the other girl. “Well when I win, you should treat me to something sweet.” She grinned, letting herself get a little bit competitive. 

“You’ve got yourself a deal!” Hayley laughed. “I will buy you anything you want if you score higher than me which won't be hard. Because you’re an athlete and I‘m a bartender but still. I might surprise you. “

[hayleyfrancis]

alicemarie-davies​:

“I’m fairly good at the basketball ones? Truthfully I’m not as athletic nor coordinated as you would expect from a quidditch player. It’s truly the only sport I’m good at.” 

"Well you beat me out. I'm not really good at any sports, mostly because they take too long." She grabbed the other girls arm and pulled her in the direction of the basketball ones. "But let's try one of the basketball ones, there's no harm in losing.”

“A pastime?” Roxy asked before laughing. “Oh my god, how do you still have teeth?” she clapped her hands together. Roxy hummed before nodding, “Okay, bet. Though, if we fall, it won’t be my fault.”

"I guess I go to a good dentist?" Hayley laughed, "I'm light and aren't you an athlete? But anyway, I might not win, and then I just get to eat candy unless you want to pick a new punishment."

Alice was startled when she was suddenly grabbed by someone but less surprised when she saw who it was. “Hi! Oh- okay.” She laughed, fixing her hair out of her face for a moment before grabbing a dart. “I’m not very good at this but I’ll try!” The girl threw a few as fast as she could, only popping one balloon out of the three darts she threw. 

Hayley narrowed her eyes, aiming carefully and threw darts over and over missing her target a solid ninety percent of the time. When the time was over, she surveyed the results and burst out laughing. “Dang, I was counting on you to be better than me but we both suck. Okay, let's try a different stall. What are you good at?”

[hayleyfrancis]

Hayley grabbed the person next to her without looking to see who it was. “Quick help me win that weird looking frog for my cousin.” Putting a bunch of darts in front on them, she glanced over. “Oh, it’s you! Hi! Pop as many balloons as you can in the next 30 seconds.”

“If I win, you have to eat an entire bag of candy corn, and if you win…” she trailed off, her brow furrowed in thought. “I dunno, what do you want?”

“Okay but eating an entire bag of candy corn is a past time for me not a punishment.” Hayley laughed. “If I win you have to piggyback me all the way to the pretzel stand.”

[hayleyfrancis]

alicemarie-davies​:

Alice’s face turned extremely red when she realized who the other girl was talking about. “Oh he’s not- we’re just.” She stuttered, wondering if they really seemed like that to others. “We’re teammates. I mean, he’s also my best friend but we’re not dating.” 

Hayley glanced up in surprise. “Oh, really? sorry. I must have misread the vibe.” Turning her eyes back to the game. “You’re a quidditch player? I don’t think I’ve ever paid this much attention to a game before. I don’t think I’d have the attention span to not get distracted during a game.”

[hayleyfrancis]

j-krvm​:

“Ouch.” He placed a hand over his heart, before laughing. “Look, I love the game. I didn’t say I completely understood it.” Jackson followed her over to the stall, leaning against the side of it as she walked over. He smirked at her confidence and tilted his head to the side. “Go on then. Show me. Do your worst.”

Hayley gave the owner her best smile as she got ready to throw. Lowering her voice so only Jackson could hear, she said softly, “They’ve glued them down so you can’t knock them over, but they’ve only glued them at the front, so you just have to hit them from the side or back.” Tossing the ring, she aimed so that it reflected off the wall and hit the cone on the side knocking it over. Repeating it until she was out of rings before turning to face him triumphantly. “See? I told you, too easy.”

[hayleyfrancis]

j-krvm​:

He laughed. “I meant murder the kid at the game. Not literally. I’m an ass but not that big of an ass.” Jackson walked with her. “Honestly, I don’t get quidditch sometimes. Like, why are we flying around up there if the person catching the snitch ultimately decides who wins, yeah?” Jackson tilted his head to look at her, amused. “I think I’d love to see you scamming a scammer.” He nodded towards one of the games. “Do your worst.”

"I mean, the jury is still out on that one." Hayley teased. She tilted her head and looked at him with a laugh breaking out. "Well, if quidditch players can't understand it then there's no hope for me. I just cheer when the person next to me does and figure that covers my bases." She smirked and walked confidently up to the stall, she handed over a coin and received the rings. She looked back over her shoulder. "Watch and learn, Krum. This is how it's done."

[hayleyfrancis]

alicemarie-davies​:

Alice couldn’t help but to giggle, “Would you like an explanation?” She asked, though it didn’t seem like the girl cared if she had one or not. 

"I mean you can try? People have tried before and failed.” Hayley shrugged. “Plus I don't want to distract you from watching your boyfriend play. He's doing well and you seem to be keeping a pretty close eye on him."

[hayleyfrancis]

j-krvm​:

“And I feel my ego slightly mending,” Jackson looked over at her with a smirk, moving his arm around her shoulders. “Deal. I’ll go murder some kid at one of the carnival games, too. Maybe that’ll help.” He walked away from the quidditch pitch with her. “So, you having fun? One of us should be. I feel like my dad’s disowning my ass after that.”

"I hope you mean like murder him at the game and not in general but hey, I'm not going to judge as long as you pick a bratty one." Hayley shrugged, "It hasn't been bad. I tried to understand your game of quidditch, but I will never fully understand the rules. And I've tried a bunch of the stalls, they're mostly scams as you might expect except, I'm good at scamming the scammers. Want a massive fluffy bear? I could win you one."
