Arms crossed over his chest and beer in hand, Al had been taking in the muted chaos of their apartment with a smirk matching James’s. Theme: successful. He wrapped his arm around his brother in return, patting his chest. “I think this party could do with some more livening, Jalbus.” The combinations of their names had Al cracking up too, the ridiculousness of it all making Al feel at home in a way that had always lacked in Italy. “Man, I missed you, you know? Let’s break out the fucking brownies, I could use a bit of electric lettuce in my life.”

James stood up a little taller. He hadn’t expected the moment of sentiment but it hit home and he had no choice but to nod in agreement. “Missed ‘ya too. Think we got lot of catchin’ up ‘ta do tonight,” he said, his arm tightening around his brother’s shoulder before giving it a rustle. Then, already prepared, James lifted a plate of the aforementioned brownies. Sure, the pair had spent some time apart, but some things never changed. And he’d had an inkling with this one. “Ladies first.”

James threw his arm over his brother’s shoulder, appreciating the double-take their party guests had to take seeing the two side by side. Glitches in the Matrix as a theme had been a stroke of genius. A solid contribution much in thanks to the existence of a little something called Mary Jane. “What you say we livin’ this party up, Ames?” He asked, smirking at one of the mashup as their names. James rose his eyebrows in the direction of some of the guests, but focused his attention primarily on his brother, tonight the two even more spitting images of each other. “Thinking it might be time ‘ta break out the brownie roulette.”

      at first she hadn’t been at all on board with the idea of a party. letting people into her space wasn’t her favourite thing, but rose had been persuasive - it was hard to say no to her. espeically when she’d offered to let avery decorate things however she liked, giving her the perfect opportunity to show off. how could she possibly resist? it was rare that she got to use all of her charms knowledge in just for fun, rather than on work. so she’d gone all out, giving it everything she had, and the result was - in her humble opinion - absolutely magical. their theme was the great gatsby - which she was pretty sure rose had agreed to because it meant having as much booze as possible - and she’d been inspired. the room seemed to glow golden, floating candles above heads creating a shimmering haze all around. gold accents glittered everywhere, emphasised by simple blacks and whites, and a tower of champagne glasses stood in the centre of the room, looking precariously balanced but held up by sturdy magic that would prevent any disasters. there were secret bottles of booze hidden in corners, and glittery confetti scattered on the floor, sparkling in the candlelight. to top it off she had a vintage dress on, one that had belonged to one of her great-grandmothers in the last 20′s. looking around the room, she was completely pleased by what she’d accomplished. but - well, who didn’t like to hear a little praise, too? ‘ what do you think? ‘ she asked, not at all subtle as she smiled at one of the guests passing through. 

James need not take three steps in to the apartment before falling in awe with it. Though he loved the theme he’d put together with Albus and Lia, they hadn’t decked the place out. Not like this. “I think this place looks fucking amazin’, that’s what I think.” James wandered closer towards the champagne tower. “You guys went all the fuck out, didn’t ‘ya? Damn.” Looking towards Avery now, he offered a lopsided smile, evidence that he’d enjoyed a few at his own place playing host. “Don’t know if there’s a competition but think ‘ya’s might ‘ve won.”

     Lost without her… If only she believed that was true. There’d probably be someone who was more than willing to swoop in and take her place, should James ever decide he was tired of her company. She didn’t dwell on thoughts like that, but still they came, unbidden. All she can do is shake her head to dispel them. “At least,” she remarks, shooting him a small grin. 

     She’d already begun to dig in her bag, the music player she kept shoved deep down beneath all the gum wrappers, keys, and crumpled up receipts. “You know I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it,” she pointed out, unwinding the headphones once she’d managed to procure the object in question. She offers on to him, slipping the other in her own ear as she begins to scroll through the music she’d saved earlier in the day — or the night before? Working night shifts had made it difficult to keep track. As the opening chords begin, she nudges him playfully. “You can keep stealing mine. At least you’ll never be wrong.” 

James instinctively drew closer to her, as much space would allow walking side by side, before taking the single earbud into his hand. He popped it into his ear, head tilted slightly towards her as he waited for the first few notes to trickle through. A soft smile appeared on his lips as it started. Was it the music? Or was it Will’s banter? “’Cept when it comes to quidditch. Never catch me rooting for the Kestrals.” He turned his head slightly to catch her eye, smile at the ready for her. “Blasphemous, really.”

Rose pouts as her cousin shakes his head. She had really been looking forward to being a wingwoman to James but it was what it was. “I don’t know James… depends on the girl. Some girls might find it sweet that you need help from your cousin to get laid.” She responds with a shrug before laughing with him. As the elevator dinged up the levels she tried to think if she would think it was sweet that a guy needed help from someone else just to talk to her. “Last I saw him was the other day? He found me on the stairs with Nando’s and I just couldn’t say no to that little face so I brought him to mine.” She admits with a sheepish smile. “With all the running about he does I’m sure Tom won’t get much bigger than he already is…”

James wrinkled his nose, not sold by her counter-argument. “Even if that were true... fuck, don’t know if I could get there after, ‘ya know? Makes me feel bit desperate.” Then he paused, blinking for a few seconds before turning his head sharply to look at his cousin. “Not desperate, am I?” Once at the floor, James pushed off the elevator wall and strode forward, slow as he was still waking up minute by minute. “”Ya feel for it.” James shook his head, amusingly disappointed but understanding. Tom had a way of convincing anyone. “I get it. Trust me, I do. But the rate he’s going he’ll be double the size by end of summer. Fuckers been faking up out. Al’d feed ‘im ‘fore work and then I’d roll out of bed. Put up a solid starvin’ act.”

Anna… needed a walk. Fresh air or some shit, but anything to get her up and moving. Seeing Aidan had thrown her in a loop, one she hadn’t felt since she’d left her parents’ home. She felt like her insides were about to burst, nervous energy coursing through her as she tried her best to walk it off. In the end, she ended up sitting in the lobby of her apartment building, watching as people passed her by. She waited, unsure of what for, until she saw a face she couldn’t pass up. “Oi, Potter!” Though Lily was her best friend, she had found herself quickly seeking out James for her messier excursions. Honestly, she had a special place in her heart for each of the Potters, but James hit the spot when things went to shit. “Listen, I’ve had a shit day, and I’ve earned myself a solo James night. We’re gonna get shit faced, bloody messy, and then stumble back so I can forget today even happened.”

Hunting down Tom was a task. Truth was, James could go up and down the stairs and all the halls and he wouldn’t find the little fucker; he’d only be found if he wanted to be found. James had already been ready to throw up his hands and abandon the search when he’d heard his name being called, causing him to whip around, lopsided smile forming once he saw it Anna. And as she vented quickly, James just nod his head softly. “Well, I’m sold,” he laughed, cracking a wide smile as his eyes squinted. Look closely and you’d know he’d already started the party no more than an hour ago. “Not that I ever need much convincin’. Sounds like a solid plan. Got a place in mind then? Let ‘ya take the lead. I mean... this your night now, isn’t it?”

Rose grimaces as James says he’s got a weak closing game. Growing up she’d always idolised her older cousin- they’d liked all the same things and since James was older he’d seemed so cool. “Noooooo, James you can’t disgrace our family name by having a weak closing game.” Rose responds over-dramatically with a wink. “If you need help next time just text me. I always thought I’d make an amazing wingwoman.” She grins as James joins her in the elevator. “Jamesie, Phoenix already has you, me, Al, and Tom- how much more life could it need?”

James’s eyes fluttered closed as he rolled his head back and forth, a silent ‘no’. “Not doubtin’ your abilities or anything but not sure having my cousin pimp me out’ll be much help. Seems desperate don’t it?” He asked, adding a laugh as the elevator started it’s trip up. Ding. Ding. Third floor. Pushing off the wall he stood taller again. “’Ya seen Tom lately? Fucker’s a bit of a chonker. Keep it up and not sure how much ‘venture he’ll add to this place.”

James looked down at the plate in front of him. It was fair to say that he was not a cook: he hadn’t inherited his grandmother’s abilities, nor had he traveled abroad like his brother. Though, admittedly, even if he had, cooking would have been far from his focus. Still, you’d have thought James would have learned how to prepare something as simple as a cooked chicken. “Sorry,” he started, fingertips tapping against the counter as his shoulder shrugged high, “thought if I went higher, I could cook it shorter. Not right?” Though he asked it, the grimace James wore was proof that he knew the answer. “Prob’ly best ‘ta go for some take in then, yea?”

Rose laughs a little before her face falls a little. Hugo. She hadn’t seen her little brother in ages… maybe she would have to go knocking on every door in the apartment complex looking for him and force him to spend time with her. “Fine fine, I’ll stop teasing about your love affair with Hugo from Nando’s.” She picks right but up just as perky as ever. “Who says you need a type? If he- or she -makes your insides all warm and fuzzy I say shag em.” Rose shrugs before walking into the open elevator doors and turning to face James. “Look at you being a mentor to the good life.”

“Solid advice there. Be sure ‘ta keep it in mind but the problem’s getting there. Not sure if ‘ya’ve heard but my closing game’s weak.” It didn’t help that he’d start a night out with a buzz that worked for the banter and flirt, only to end half a dozen drinks past stopping. Conversations were much different then. That and James could lack the confidence. He was a boy that consisted of highs and lows. He stepped into the elevator, shrugging his shoulders before leaning against the back wall. “Someone’s got to show ‘em the way. Liven this place up.”

“Yeah, honestly I got lost after broom.  I don’t know anything about them past what we learned in flying class at Hogwarts,” Gabriel chuckled, “I’ve just never really seen the point in using them.”

James eyes went wide— the concept of someone not knowing much about quidditch, let alone flying was unheard-of for him. “Never really thought of it havin’ a point. Mean... it’s just fun, innit? Just a whole other feelin’ when you’re up there. Just different, ‘guess.”

Rose laughs a little as she glances towards the front door to the lobby and the sunshine streaming in. “What you don’t carry an obnoxiously big pair of sunglasses on your person for this exact reason?” Rose teases as she pulls a pair out of her bag and places them over her eyes. She practically skips over to the elevators, glaring slightly at the broken one before taking off her sunglasses and pushing the button to go up the elevator. “Great! Should I be worried that you and Callum are on a first name basis Jamesie- or that he’s leaving things at your place… -is there something you need to tell the class Jamesie?” She teases as they wait for the elevator doors to open.

James shook his head as he stood waiting for the elevator. The sunglasses were one but her teasing about Callum was another. Far off, at that. “Nice try, Rosie, but the kid’s ‘bout eighteen. More like a little Hugo than anything.” A mini James in training— though that was too scary a thought for reality. “Not exactly my type.” Admittedly, though not to many, James was still figuring out his type. Callum wasn’t it but there was another at Nando’s, Oliver, that had him questioning one thing or another. But that was something he was still figuring out. “Just gave him a hint of the Phoenix Circus life is all. Kid deserves it.”
