eli was sat on a street corner outside, scribbling some words madly into his book. sometimes phrases just popped into his mind-- though they never really became anything more than a few pieces of quotes. at the muffled sound of someone calling his name, eli glanced up. “fancy seeing you here.” he mentioned before returning to his book. “you’re standing on my bad side you know, so if you really wanna talk---” eli trailed off, patting the empty space of pavement to the left of him.

It had been a long day reading up on his books and now all Scorpius really wanted to do was relax. Why he had decided to go to a pub to do that, he had no idea. It was kind of busy, so it definitely didn't give him any peace or quiet, but maybe relaxing would just mean talking to some of his friends, if any of them were to show up. Maybe he'd see some people from school, even though it had been a few years since he had graduated. Seeing someone he knew, pretty well, he hoped they'd turn their attention his way so he didn't have to yell across the room. Thankfully, they did. Giving the person a smile and a small wave, he watched as they made their way over. Leaning forward against the table, he looked up at them. "Hey, didn't expect to see you here tonight. How are you doing?"

“pretty-- isn’t it?” alessandra grinned at the turquoise necklace she wore. she’d stolen it from a vault during the knights’ raid on gringotts-- though it was from a much lesser known family so no one would’ve realized. “my gran gave it to me, how sweet is that?” lies. but she still smiled anyways as her fingers drummed against the wooden bar she sat at.

  the young irish woman had been so caught up in going over her schedule in her mind ( again ) that she was scarcely paying attention to her surroundings. so much so that she didn’t see the person that had stopped short in front of her. “ oh shit! “ cat cursed under her breath. quickly, she went to work on trying to assist the other in picking up the items that they had lost. “ merlin, i am so sorry. i wasn’t paying attention to were i was going. that was my fault. “ she hurriedly tried to explain her blunder to the other as she helped them pick up what had fallen to the ground.

“No—wait, please, just—” Lorcan’s face dropped as yet another official walked away from him. He didn’t have the confidence to chase after them like some of the other activists who were at the party—instead, he would just let people dismiss him, brush him off like what he was saying didn’t matter, even though it did matter, especially to him. He sighed, shaking his head to himself and ducking his head, adjusting one of the rings on his fingers and wishing he could get out of here. At least without his fangs out and without his skin being almost see-through, thanks to the wide range of potions he took, no one was staring. He didn’t think he’d be able to handle that.

“If I had a dime for every time someone told me that I was the devil, I’d be rich—well, a lot richer.” She looked up with a smirk at the angry man who was talking to her. She shut her leather folder and snapped the button on it before putting it into her bag. Slinging her briefcase over the shoulder of the billowing robes that were standard for all lawyers in front of the Wizengamot, she shrugged. “If you have an issue with the verdict, you can appeal it.” She reached a hand out to shake, but the man was already walking away. She sighed heavily. “I’m not even in court,” she grumbled to herself. “This is some shit.”
