“And there-!” Penelope exclaimed, sitting back and looking at the other and her handiwork. “I can’t decide if you look like some sort of Spring Prince or like some sort of version of Rapunzel with all of these flowers.” Penelope smiled, maybe getting a little carried away with weaving the brightly coloured petals into the others curls. “Either way you look very pretty.”

“There’s enough space underneath here for the both of us,” Piper insisted, quickening her pace to make sure she was now holding the umbrella over Penelope as well. “You might need to hold it though– I’m short and I’m going to end up hitting you in the head with this accidentally,” she added with a laugh.
@pcnelopcxhawthorne
“You are a lifesaver, has anyone told you that before?” Penelope told the other, lowering her coat from over her head, doing her best to protect her hair from when it decided to rain without any warning. “I think that is a wise decision, here-” She chuckled, taking it from her and holding it at a better height for them both to fit under. “My heels probably don’t help with the height thing either, but at least we’re both dry.”
perseus-m:
“Maybe I should have a little nibble and we’ll see if anyone reacts,” he suggested, grinning. Percy was way past the moment when he usually thought before he spoke, so right now for him there was nothing questionable in his words. “Well, I’m down to hear some questionable gasps if you’re into it.”
“I’d rather you didn’t take a bite or a nibble out of me at all, I’m not a steak dinner after all.” She warned the other, though her tone still have a playful lilt to it. “If it’ll keep you from biting me, I suppose I can allow a kiss or two. Though try your best to keep it PG, I don’t want to be on the front cover of Witches Weekly for debauchery.”
erin-mccormack:
“A small get together might be a good idea. There’s probably a bit less pressure that way, and as much as I want it to be fun, I don’t want to stress myself out more.” Erin admitted. “That sounds brilliant. We can do all of the classic sleepover films, eat popcorn, it’ll be a great time.”
“Exactly, it’ll just be the people who know you best and want nothing but the best of you. Free of judgement and just full of love.” Penelope smiled at the other, reaching out to give her hand a small squeeze. “Also, who says a small get together can’t be fun, especially when I’m involved.” She smirked. “It’ll be like we’re back in the dorm rooms of Hogwarts.”
doricntorrcs:
“And one might say you’re a little obnoxious and incredibly rude considering I was only conversing.” It wasn’t as if he had used a tone that had been unpleasant, in fact, it had been friendly but clearly the woman wasn’t someone who appreciated strangers talking to who by all accounts. “But my apologies for interacting with you. Feel free to going back to enjoying your own company.” It definitely felt like the only company she likely enjoyed.
“And I could counter that in saying that you need to learn better social skills if that’s the way you’re trying to strike up conversation. It’s far too accusatory, I’m not sure I’d have been the only one to react this way.” Penelope commented, flicking her hair over her shoulder as she stared the other down. “Maybe try a better greeting next time and I’m sure you’ll get a better response.”
erin-mccormack:
“Well, yes, but historically I’ve not been on my best behaviour at parties, have I? You know that better than most.” Erin pointed out. “I don’t want to… re-open old wounds if I can help it. I just need something to throw all of my energy so I don’t spend it ruminating.” She admitted, before giving a small smile. “I keep a list of my favourite ones on my phone. I’ll have to teach you how to make some.”
“Well, we don’t have to make it a whole party if you want. We could just make it a small get together- or even just the two of us having a sleepover if you wanted. I think it’s good to celebrate how far you’ve came, but maybe just go with what you feel ready and comfortable with.” Penelope smiled at the other, “A night of mocktail making, junk food and crappy movies sounds perfect to me.”
doricntorrcs:
“I’ll take another.” Dorian requested from where he’d settled on one of the stools. After training, he’d gone home for a quick shower before heading to the bar, his should practically seizing up at this point. He’d definitely pushed it too hard today and he was paying the price now as there was a significant ache even after taking a potion to try and ease the pain. “I may be wrong, but I feel like you have something to say.” Dorian finally acknowledged the presence that had been hovering nearby for a few minutes now.
“Your first observation on thinking you were wrong was correct, I wasn’t about to say anything to you.” Penelope commented, leaning against the bar and looking at the bottles that were stored behind it as she tried to settle on what she wanted. “I was just trying to decide what I wanted, you know, as people do at a bar. One might say you’re a little big headed to presume I was looking at you.”
erin-mccormack:
“Do you think it would be in bad taste to throw a one-year-sober party?” Erin asked. “Because that’s coming up next month, and I totally want to mark the occasion, but I feel like some people might think a party is a bad idea. There wouldn’t be any booze, obviously,” She added. “Just sweets and snacks. I think it could be fun!”
“I don’t think so, I mean, it’s an achievement that should be celebrated and you do so with a party.” Penelope told the other with a small shrug, “That and you know I will always encourage you to throw more parties. We could always do some fancy mocktails, some of the one’s you’ve gotten for me in the past have been pretty good.”

“If you’d really like details on where I shop for my clothing, perhaps it’d be wise not to call me ‘sloppy’ for starters,” Alessandra told the other, but her tone didn’t imply she was all that bothered given she knew she wasn’t her usual self tonight. “Look there’s just a lot going on for me and this is where I’m at with the solution for it right now,” she didn’t owe the woman an explanation and normally she wouldn’t bother, but alcohol could be worse than veritaserum. “This particular outfit is from Twilfitt and Tattings though. They’ve just brought out their spring collection and a lot of the stuff is really nice.”
“Hm, or maybe me calling you that is actually me being extremely helpful. Allows you to know your composure is slipping and that you should straighten up and pull yourself together a little unless you want to be denied anymore to drink and then kicked out.” Penelope explained to the other, listening to the other and humming ever so slightly. “You and probably half the other people in this place right now.” She shrugged, because she could probably guess that at least sixty percent of the clientele here were wanting to drown whatever problems or sorrows they had in alcohol. “The spring collection, of course.” She commented, more to herself than anything. “Normally I’m very on top of knowing when these things are released, however, this one must have slipped my mind.”

😘 - one of our muses share a drunken kiss & @pcnelopcxhawthorne
“You’re so cute I could jut eat you,” Percy grinned at his girlfriend. He was already tipsy after having a few drinks, but Penelope was always the most beautiful in his eyes so it wasn’t like he was seeing her in any different light. “How scandalised people are going to be if we show then how to properly make out?” He waggled his eyebrows suggestively.
“I’m aware that is supposed to be a compliment for me, but you have to realise how cannibalistic that sounded as well.” Penelope couldn’t help but chuckle, noticing the slight sway in the others stance and how he seemed to be a lot looser in himself. “Anyone who didn’t know you were my boyfriend would probably be slightly worried about me right now.” She told the other, patting him lightly on the chest. “Oh very scandalised, I’m sure. Public displays of affection always make people uncomfortable, no matter how good looking the couple are.”
🍻 - our muses go on a pub crawl
“I’m pretty sure this holiday is filled with more creeps than Valentines Day.” Penelope commented, face screwed up in both discomfort and disgust at some of the people around her. “I understand the premise for a lot of people is drinking until they can’t stand, but this is just ridiculously sloppy and I’m sick of being felt up and having to threaten to break fingers. Can we not go to some place a little more classy?”

alessandramacnair:
The entire wizarding world had heard about the Minister of Magic’s first public appearance in months. Normally the woman couldn’t have cared less but that was until she heard Minister Granger-Weasley’s full address. Most importantly, her approach towards eradicating the Death Eaters at an even swifter pace. Who knew what sort of tactics they’d be using to weed them out? While this put Alessandra on edge, she refused to let herself think about it. At least not yet.
“What? If you’re going to be a buzzkill you can sit somewhere else. I deserve another,” she scoffed sloppily as somebody joined her at the bar she was slouched over. She was usually very good at handling her liquor, but today she was drinking to numb as much as possible.
“Please, drink away.” Penelope told the other with a wave of her hand, “I was merely looking at your outfit and wondering where you got it from, I could care less about your drinking habits.” She continued. “Though, if we’re being honest with one another, you’re getting a little sloppy there, Love. Might want to pull it together before they decide you’re too drunk and kick you out.”
erin-mccormack:
“I mean, you don’t have to leave if you don’t want to. Do you think you would regret it if you stayed?” Erin asked. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; your parents are dicks.” She said, before giving a shrug. “Well, we’ve not exactly been chummy lately, have we? And I’m not saying that in a mean way,” Erin added hastily. It had sounded harsher than she’d intended. “Because what you did was right, I just… I think we’ve missed out on a few things in each others lives recently.” She gave a small smile. “Thanks, I’m proud of me too. Yeah, turns out using all those descriptive words to make my essays longer has finally come in handy for something.
“I don’t think I’d regret it, but I feel like I would be in a constant state of what if and if there was something else out there for me that was better suited. I like to think if I failed then I have enough qualifications and grades to get myself back into a job quite easily.” Because she had put a lot of thought into this, weighing out the pros and the cons, deciding she shouldn’t doubt herself and just go for what she really wanted. “Just because I did it, doesn’t mean it wasn’t hard for me to stay away from you. Or to wonder how you were doing or what you were up too. But I had been down that road before with someone I cared about and was painted the villain, I wasn’t going to put myself through that again. That and you clearly weren’t listening to me or taking me seriously.” She told the other honestly. “But I’m glad to see you’re in a better place now and maybe we could start meeting up from time to time for coffee? Catch one another up on what we’ve missed?”
adelinexmulciber:
Adeline laughed, “You got it right. I am not a hopeless romantic. In fact, I think I’ve decided to give up on it altogether,” she paused, “But I love cupcakes,” she picked one up from a stall and paid for it, “So I’m here.”
“So you’re pulling the one failed attempt at a relationship and now I’m going to become a hermit card? Where’s the fight I’m used to seeing in you, does it die out where romance is involved?” Penelope couldn’t help but tut. “Though I do understand the need for a cupcake drawing you to a place you despise. Sugar defeats all, I guess.”
pcnelopcxhawthorne:
“We don’t have the authority but I’m pretty sure if I started yelling at people they’d want to stay away long enough for me to be happy.” She joked, knowing that in school she may have came across as that kind of bitch, but she had matured since then, that and she didn’t want to become a social pariah when she was trying to be a social influencer. “A closer up photo might work, that or we could change the angle slightly. See if we can get the least amount of disruption in it, because like you said these decorations are pretty perfect.” Penelope waved the other off with her hand, “I know, but I just like someone else to tell me it as well.” She smiled. “There has to be a way to be able to crop them out or something, these Instagram creators can’t always be in places where there is no one around.” She mused. “Red is my colour, so there really is nothing as much as too much red when it comes to me.”
“Yelling! That’s a good call, maybe we should try that,” Piper replied, only half-joking because at this point she seemed to be ready to do anything to get the perfect pictures for Penelope. “Yeah let’s try a few different angles. Maybe I can do some blurring of the background and make that a whole vibe?” she suggested with a little shrug of her shoulders, hoping for the best. “I think some people properly edit every single person out but that is beyond my Photoshopping abilities. Socializing with other influencers is definitely a step you’re going to have to take to make this work, so maybe you can ask them? Get some good tips for next time?” Piper took some steps back again, bending her knees a little to see if the angle was doing anything in their favor. “It really is. I don’t think anyone out here would contest to that,” she agreed when Penelope pointed out how red was her color.
“I think it’s worth a try, I mean this is the first time we’re doing this so it’s not going to be perfect instantly. Though I will say that influencers really do make this look a whole lot easier, I respect their grind a lot more now.” Because it took a lot of time to construct an outfit, make up, hair and then find the right location, lighting, camera angle and then be sure that it actually paid off in the photo. “Do you think they have classes on this sort of thing in the muggle world? Seminars or something? Influencing 101. Might be worth to even give those a go, I’m pretty much happy to take all the help I can right now.” Penelope chuckled and smiled down at the camera, “I don’t think they would either and if they did, they’d simply be wrong.”
pcnelopcxhawthorne:
“No.” She said a little too sharply, clearing her throat and lowering her phone. “I mean, no, you’re fine.” Penelope smiled, gesturing to the seat across from her. “It has been a while, hasn’t it. But I’m doing good, just potentially thinking about changing my career path, you know, nothing too life changing.” She chuckled. “How about you? How have you been?”
Erin hadn’t been expecting Penelope to ask her to stay, but she took the seat across from her all the same. “If you’re seriously considering it, you should do it.” She replied. “If you’re going to do something every day for the rest of your life, it should be something you enjoy, right?” Erin asked, before letting out a dry laugh. Oh, you know, lost my job, drove my friends and family away, gave myself alcohol poisoning and landed in St Mungo’s, carted myself off to rehab, all the usual things. But I’ve been sober since May, and I managed to get a spot writing at the Quidditch Times, so somehow… I’m kind-of doing okay.”
“It’s not that I don’t like the job I have now, I just don’t love it.” She confessed to the other. “So I imagine a change will be good for me, I just need to try and get my parents nagging voice out of my head telling me that it’s going to be a huge mistake.” She chuckled softly. When the other began to tell her everything she had been through lately, she felt her stomach drop. “Erin... I have no idea.” Part of her wanted to say that she should have been there, helped her through it all, but she had given Erin plenty of warnings and so many chances. And although it was a hard decision, she had to believe that pushing her away until she got some help was what was needed for the both of them. “I’m proud of you though, for being sober for that long, I can’t imagine it’s been easy.” She smiled. “And hey, writer for the Quidditch Times is a pretty big step up from your last job, so don’t go doubting your talent. You clearly have it.”

“Yeah, I know. A band dropped out last minute so I volunteered to fill in since I know just about every love song in existence,” Joe said jokingly but it very much wasn’t a joke, and he’d also had this booked in his calendar for months. “So, anyone special I can dedicate a song to tonight? I love love so hit me with what you got,” he grinned.
Penelope stared at the other for a long moment, “I don’t believe I ask and I’m not sure bragging that you know every love song in existence is something you want to brag about. It’s coming across as a little bit desperate.” Penelope gave the other a look that resembled horror when he mentioned singing to someone, “Merlin, no. I would never forgive myself for putting Percy through that. In fact I’d insist he’d break up with me there and then for doing something so cringe worthy.”
