Saturday Night - Three Broomsticks [open]
Cecily hated the holidays. She always had, even as a child. For her sake, her parents had always tried to have a nice Christmas celebration. It had never really worked though. They normally made it to lunchtime without arguing. That was better than most days, but it wasn't enough to make Cecily have warm, fuzzy feelings when she thought about the holiday season.

Cecily no longer worried about her parents' relationship, but she still didn't care for the "most wonderful time of the year." Her current reason was the mob of people inside the Three Broomsticks. She'd never seen the place so crowded. Men, women, children, they were all there. Everywhere she looked, she saw people on dates and families having dinner. Every time she cleared a table, she glanced towards the door, hoping things were slowing down, only to learn that the queue had doubled since the last time she'd checked.

Sighing, Cecily looked at her watch as she made her way over to the counter. Only two hours to go. Without so much as a glance at the customers in front of her, Cecily sat down behind the bar and poured herself a glass of water. "What?" She asked when she noticed people were staring. "Oh, anyone need a drink?"
