Trying to relax Date & Time: 18 October, 2002 Post Type: RP Status: Closed: Complete Character(s): Mandy Brocklehurst, Peter Malotti Location: A little pub near St. Mungo's Summary: Peter and Mandy go for a drink to shake off the day.
Mandy hung her robes on the coat tree near the desk, then headed upstairs to the changing room to get her handbag and her jacket. Peter's suggestion of drinks after work had sounded good earlier, but now? It sounded fantastic.
The days had grown longer, the patients sicker, and the ideas for Muggle treatments to relieve their symptoms were getting fewer and farther between. She'd worked three extra shifts in the last two weeks alone, and she could feel every hour of them. Mandy shrugged into her jacket, lifting her hair free, then headed down to the reception area to meet Peter.
They'd decided to walk to a little place he suggested, quiet and Muggle, and completely free of St. Mungo's drama. A glass of wine or two, she thought, would be just the thing...
She slid into the booth in the corner, giving him a smile as she scooted, leaving him space. "This was the best idea I've heard in days. I just wish Neville wasn't stuck with those... Whatever they were. I keep telling myself I'm going to learn the names of those plants, but my brain will not keep them in." She shook her head. Not that her brain wasn't occupied with other things most of the time, nowadays anyway.
