Decked out in only his finest purple coat (his only purple coat), with a top hat and a bow tie to complete the Willy Wonka look, Fabian was having an all-around decent night. That is, until he noticed a certain Gryffindor, who - after several failed attempt to catch her eye - he determined did not want to see him. Fab didn’t even know she was out of the hospital wing, and it was weird that she wouldn’t say anything to him. He hadn’t drank much, as recent events didn’t exactly have him in a massive partying mood, but the alcohol he did drink gave him just enough boldness to catch Mary at a moment she wasn’t actively talking to anyone and pull her aside. If she was upset with him, he wanted to know why.
“Hey, are you-” avoiding me, to complete the thought, but luckily he stopped himself before that point. “I didn’t know Pomfrey let you out.”
