who: open to all when: during the festivities event: 003 - Frank's birthday party

Every now and then Bea would slip behind the bar or into the back to grab some new supplies or help out whenever she couldn't find Ros. There was no doubt the other witch was busy, hosting a party with these many people in the middle of the times they lived in. The least the witch could do was her best to help out; to fill in wherever it was needed.

"That's quite a specific drink but I think we still have some in the back if you'd like me to check?" Her face lit up with a smile, trying to remember what she'd seen in the storage room the last time she'd wandered there to grab fresh towels and napkins. "Or you could come along?" Her attention diverted for a moment, shooing some familiar face she couldn't place the name of toward the gift table instead of simply dropping it off in the middle of a table. Things would only get lost that way. "Sorry. So, what will it be?"

where: outside three broomsticks / frank’s birthday. who: open.

Georgette had somehow been invited to Frank Longbottom’a surprise birthday party. Parties weren’t her scene and she had no intention of going but at the last minute she decided to stop in. Curiosity had gotten the best of her. But when she walked in the place was jam-packed.

Anxiety crept into Georgette’s skin. Before going all the way in, she stayed outside. She pulled out a cigarette and leaned against the wall, hearing the door and noise close behind her.

“What was I thinking coming here?” She asked out loud not realizing she wasn’t alone.

location: three broomsticks status: open

Usually, Greta and Alara were always going to parties together. They were a package deal and had been for many years. Things were beginning to change. Now that she was engaged, she'd soon leave Greta to go live with Evan. Or would she be the one moving out? All this uncertainty and her unknown future made her anxious and anxious Greta tended to babble. She always thought that when one of them would get married it would be for love. Perhaps she'd feel more at ease about this if Alara was marrying for love and not duty. Playing with the drink in her hands she sighed, clearly nostalgic. "I just realised that now that Alara is getting married we won't be living together for much longer. We've been living together since our first year at Hogwarts. This is the end of an era."

WHO: Amelia & OPEN WHERE: Frank's Surprise Party

Even though she wasn't the most party-going witch around, Amelia still understood the importance of being their to celebrate your friends when the occasion called for it. Especially now when every day felt more tense than the last with the war hanging over their heads. No, a party would be a great way to try and put it all to one side, if only for a night.

"Alice has certainly outdone herself tonight, don't you think?" She asks the person next to her as she turns to glance around the Three Broomsticks from her position at the bar.

She’d known too many drinks weren’t the answer, she always knew it anyway, but that didn’t stop her from clutching to the bottles every chance she got. Luckily, a birthday party was the perfect place to do it, get drunk and no one will think it strange. Even Marlene herself denied anything being wrong about it, until she’d left the bar and found herself walking the familiar steps to the flat entrance. Maybe she wouldn’t go in, she was better than that, she had to be better than that.

The blonde reached the entrance just in time for her gaze to meet his, the wicked look in his eyes enough to have her own moving to settle on the witch in front of him, a giggle leaving her lips as she apparated away. A pang of shame took over, looking away for a moment to gather her thoughts. Much to her own disgust, she was there and there was no turning back. “Having fun, Mulciber?”

It was easier to pretend everything was fine when she was in a bigger crowd, not too many people paying attention to the little details, and the fact that it was a party that included alcohol made it better. Marlene was already a couple of drinks in when she arrived at the Three Broomsticks but still made her way over to the bar to place an order, turning her head just in time to find the mischievous yet familiar dark eyes staring back at her. Her shoulders relaxed and a genuine smile formed on her lips as she leaned in closer to Sirius, her hand coming up to ruffle his hair. "Hey stranger, having a good time?"

Drink number something, she’d lost count by now, Marlene stood with her back leaning against a wall on the further corner of the bar. She’d taken a break from making small talk, taking to observing the crowd as there were so many things going on at once, all fun enough for her to watch. She spotted the familiar face of her friend, catching his eye as she waved her fingers, suggesting he should come over. “Pete, sweetheart.” Marlene greeted him, giving him a quick hug. “I haven’t seen you much this week, I do miss you, you know?”

“I hope we’re not too old for parties.” The witch called out as James took the seat across her, leaning forward on the table to place a kiss on her friend’s cheek. “It’s been so long since we’ve had one, should we drink, do karaoke, something else?” She asked, waving her hand so that the barmaid would come take an order for them.
