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."

"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.
