nate arrives late to the bonfire, with really only one goal in mind. moving through the crowds, trying to avoid those who have somehow gotten drunk despite the four heads of houses being present, he searches for his target. while nate won’t say he’s the most responsible person ever, he wonders if all these seemingly drunk people realize it’s a school night. he winces as he passes by the karaoke set up, the shrill voice of someone who’s definitely very drunk attacking his ear drums. he picks up his pace a bit, his hand clutching the teddy bear he had won just enough tickets for earlier that day, after a dreadful battle with the quaffle dunk.
it’s not long until he finds who he’s looking for. not far from the long line of people waiting to sing karaoke, he sees her. kang magnolia. with a grin on his face, he heads towards her. she looks great tonight — casual, but still beautiful. he wonders if maybe he should’ve put some effort into his outfit, instead of just wearing his usual hoodie and sweatpants.
“maggie!” he exclaims once he gets close to her, grin growing ever wider at the sight of her. “i’ve been looking for you.” he hands her the teddy bear — the smallest price possible, but it’s something, at least. “here — i won this for you. it’s not much, but...” there’s a tint of a blush on his cheeks, barely visible in the light from the bonfire. “i was having a bit of trouble with the quaffle dunk.”
