Katie was tired. It had been a long week and it was only Tuesday. Her eyes were tinged with dark circles and she was a bit on the pale side. I really need to spend more time outside. Her thoughts wandered as she meandered down the path to Hogsmeade. Yawning, she really couldn't believe she was going to help with the removal of pixies while her two friends drank endlessly. She snorted. It'd be rather amusing. The fall air was crisp and she shivered a bit. She'd changed out of school robes and was in something just a bit more casual. A long-sleeve t-shirt she'd nicked from Oliver's and her favorite gray sweater. Jeans were a must as well as trainers. She'd also decided to bring along some dragon-hide gloves. She'd borrowed them from Neville. Pixie teeth were quite painful.

It took much effort, but she managed to bypass Oliver's shoppe and head towards Weasley Wizarding Wheezes. She stood in front of the old Zonko's building and frowned. It looked a bit done in. They had their work cut out for them. Shrugging, walked around the corner and up the stairs to George's new flat.

"Hello?" she called, pushing the door open carefully.

George glanced up and grinned. "Evening Bellsy," he said, raising his glass. He'd started earlier than normal.

Katie just raised a brow and looked around. It was a lovely space. Quite large. There were sheets covering the furniture and she knew what devils hid beneath. There were some holes in the walls and the floors were horribly damaged. "George, I'm fairly certain this place is going to need more than pixie removal."

He looked around and shrugged. "Probably right," he said, smiling. "But, I like it. It's got two bedrooms and a bath good size kitchen and a kitchy fireplace."

Katie nodded, looking towards the fireplace. "That'll come in handy."

George looked over in the same direction. "Bloody hell. Who knows what's up that bugger." He stood up and gave Katie a hug. "You alright? Looking a bit drawn, love."

"Just fine. A wee bit tired."

George smiled and kissed her forehead. "Right-o. Where's Miss Spinnet. I need someone to have fun with. No offense intended, darling."

Alicia had only been in the area for a few days and she was already getting bored with walking around Hogsmeade. Honestly, not much had changed since she'd been in school, and spending multiple days there...at Honeydukes, The Three Broomstick's, Oliver's shop, and now George's....well, she was kind of over the location. She was definitely going to have to rethink the whole living there thing.

She followed the directions she had been given for the flat. Once up the stairs, she noticed the open door and hoped she'd found the right place. She took a moment to compose herself, drawing in a deep breath. Eventually, she was going to have to stop feeling awkward around her friends. It really was getting old at this point. She shrugged it off before walking through the door.

She smiled when she saw George and Katie. "All right! Let's fucking do this!" she said with a grin. Well, even if THEY didn't have fun, Alicia just couldn't see alcohol and getting rid of pests going badly.

George walked over and gave Alicia a hug. His arms wrapped around her and he was tempted to kiss her cheek but liked his bollocks right where they were. "Looking good Spinnet," he said, grinning and offering her his drink. "For you, love." She looked a bit more relaxed than normal and that was an excellent sign. She'd changed a lot and he missed her. She was quite fun to be around. "You and I will be engaging in a lovely drinking contest." He looked at Katie and winked. "You too Bells," he said.

Katie shook her head. "I don't know..." she said, looking warily at the firewhisky. "It's never a good idea..."

"Oh shut it Kates," he said, pouring drinks and shoving one on to her.

She took it and just stared at the offending liqour.

"Here's the rules my lovely ladies." Grinning, he poured Alicia one and took his back, refilling it. "For every pixie found and bagged, you take a drink. If you get bit. You take a drink."

He glanced at the bottles of firewhisky around him. "We should have plenty." Glancing between the two girls he noticed how opposite they actually were. Poor Wood. "Any questions kiddies?"

Alicia stiffened slightly at George's hug, but overall was happy to have it. She actually hugged him back. Well, awkwardly patted him on the back, anyway. She took the glass he handed her then turned to look at Katie, happy George was going to make her drink with them. At Katie's slight protests, Alicia couldn't help herself. "No worries, Bell. There aren't any ex boyfriends around to steal this time," she said half jokingly, giving her friend a wink. Some might have taken that comment as slightly bitter. Those people probably would have been correct.

She listened to George's rules. She was actually going to have to work? Bugger. "If and when I get bit, I make no guarantees that that fucker will be lucky enough to simply be bagged," Alicia said. Luckily, most of Alicia's clothes were torn up as it was, so she wasn't too worried about having clothing ruined.

Katie's cheeks turned bright red at Alicia's statement and a waive of guilt swept over her. She'd probably better get used to it. If that's the worse she'd get but she secretly wondered if Alicia would ever be able to forgive her. Her smile didn't quite reach her eyes but she raised her glass in silent toast. The fiery liquid burned as it went down and she coughed, her eyes watered and she shook her head. "Bloody burns," she sputtered.

George just raised a brow at Alicia's comment, not saying anything. They were in the same room, that was something at least. "You'll get used to it time Bellsy," he said, hitting her on the back.

"So, Spinnet, " he started. "What's going on. Find a place yet or still shacking up at the Three Broomsticks?"

Alicia couldn't help but laugh at Katie's reaction to the firewhiskey. What was she, 12? Alicia couldn't remember a time that Firewhiskey actually burned. Clearly her friend needed to get out more. "It's not that bad. The more you drink, the easier it gets," she said, encouraging the blonde to have more.

She turned her attention to George when he addressed her. Why did everyone always insist on asking about what Alicia was up to? It was tiring. When you lived on your own, far away from your friends, you had no one to answer to. You could do what you please and never get questioned. Here though, it seemed like everyone wanted daily updates or some shite. Alicia tried to not get annoyed at it. After all, it was just because they cared, right? That's what friends did.

"Still playing it by ear, really." Alicia had gone to look at a few places over the last couple days, but was still unsure if this was the best place for her. She wanted to try it out for a little while longer. Make sure that nothing too dramatic happened. Actually, she really just wanted to make sure that she still fit in. "I've found a few good places, but some of the asking prices here are ridiculous. I think some of them realize who I am and try to bump the prices. They're not very subtle about it, either."

"I'm sure," she said, not quite sure if she wanted to get used to the taste of it. It wasn't like she didn't like to let loose but these days, well, she preferred to have control over the situation. She supposed it was a result of being cursed and having her body used for something other than what she wanted. It might not make sense to others but she hated being out of control. It scared her.

George nodded and understood. "Well, I think it'd be brilliant if you stuck around." He glanced around he messy room. "If I ever get this place inhabitable, you can kip out in the other room." He winked. "Or with me. Whichever you prefer."

Looking around he grimaced. "Well," he said, pouring more drinks. "I suppose we should get started." He looked at his two friends. "One more to get your courage up. Bottoms up and to bagged pixies!"

"I will definitely keep those offers in mind," Alicia responded to George with a grin. Well, wasn't he quite the charmer. But honestly, if it came down to it, she'd have no problem crashing there for a while. Seemed like a good situation for minimal drama. Of course, it wasn't even something worth thinking about just yet considering the current state of the flat. It was definitely going to be a while until it was in a state that was habitable.

Alicia raised her glass in a cheers before downing it. So long sobriety! Well, this get together was certainly going to get interesting pretty soon. Especially if Katie continued to drink. Alicia had a feeling that it wouldn't take much firewhiskey to start taking effect on her.

Alicia looked around, wondering where to start. Fuck she hated pixies. For such a nice sounding name, they really were awful little creatures.

Katie couldn't help but roll her eyes at George. He thought he was so brililanatly suave. She found it amusing but had seen first hand how he could charm women. She wasn't entirely sure where he got it from. Perhaps a new found confidence and being out of Fred's shadow. Mentally shrugging, she realized she was already feeling a bit out of sorts. "Did you know," she said, looking around the room. "I believe I'm already starting to feel this." She gestured towards the bottle of firewhisky. "Not entirely sure why I agreed to this."

George just laughed and ruffled her hair. He raised his wand and removed the cover and four pixies came swarming out. Their little blue bodies livid with rage and their sharp teeth ready to gnash onto something.

"Oh brilliant," Katie muttered, ducking and nearly losing balance. "Immobulus," she said, with a flick of her wand. The pixie was froze and she stepped forward to look at it. "They're quite nasty little buggers."

She grabbed a can of the Pixie-be-Gone and sprayed it in the face. It's little eyes drooped shut and she hurried and stuffed it into a bag.

George, on the other hand, didn't seem to be fairing very well with his. "Bloody fucker took my wand," he said, chasing round the pixie. "Ouch!" he cried, it's little friend biting his ankle. "Fuck! I bloody fucking hate this blighters!" He managed to get his wand back and get the pixie in the face with the can of spray.

Looking at Alicia, he grinned. "I guess I have to drink, eh?"

Alicia raised an eyebrow at Katie. Geez, maybe she was more of a lightweight than Alicia had previously thought. Or maybe she was just playing it up to avoid having to drink much more. Either way, Alicia hoped Katie wasn't planning on calling it quits.

She was impressed when Katie bagged that first one. Somehow Alicia didn't think she would be nearly as good at this as Katie was. Alicia spotted one with it's back turned toward her. She drew her wand but ended up distracted by the fiasco George seemed to be involved with. Alicia couldn't help but watch. And laugh. Hard. In fact, she was nearly in tears from laughing so hard. That laughter however, was short lived when something grabbed onto her hair and started to pull. Hard. Alicia threw her fist back, feeling it connect with one of the fuckers.

"Pretty sure you both have to drink. Katie for being a badass pixie catcher, and you, George for...whatever the fuck that was that just happened to you," she said as she walked over to the pixie laying on the ground. Clearly she punched harder than she thought. She picked it up by the foot, letting it dangle in the air for a minute, before placing it into a bag.
