Summary: Patrick has decided that Hogwarts needs its own Eros, and Jacob's birthday is the perfect excuse to open it up. The theme is: Hawaiian nights
Patrick was lucky to have watched Marcus prepare for parties or he would have never pulled this off. First was the location. He didn't want to go above ground. It seemed wrong to have a club where the light hit. So he found the boathouse, which was perfect. Of course, that required moving things around, although the house elves said that they could move the boats somewhere else, so it wasn't as if those people in charge could bitch. Then he went to register the place with this new civilian government. They seemed to think that a recreation room was a good thing. He didn't mention what time of recreation, although he was sure that Ted would have a fit when he saw it. Next was the theme. He couldn't open a club here with naked orgy. He needed to work out to that, so he came up with Hawaiian nights. That would mean bikinis and jeans, with random flowers, and if people forgot the bikinis or the jeans, he wasn't going to complain.
Now that he had the basics, he needed decorations. The best helpers were the kids, of course. They knew him and trusted him, and when he asked them to draw flowers and make paper umbrellas, they really got creative. A little magic improved on their creation. Finally the drinks. He didn't think that he could ask for alcohol, but he'd watched Marcus teach his staff how to add water that tasted like alcohol. It cost less, he made more money, and the people didn't get drunk, which meant no fights or puke. So Patrick began to cast the spell on the water bottles and then changed the colour, until the bottles contained fake liquor of all different colours, just like the cocktails that Ben liked so much.
Next, the music. He used the house elves for this, or one of them who found a radio, and he searched for the current hit station. With a few spells, the volume increased until it was almost unbearable, and then began casting silencing babbles around the chairs and sofas the house elves had given him. There people could talk, just like at Eros. Finally, the lighting. There were candles on leaves that floated around the room and on the water. For the occasion, he'd even created a sign. They were giant paper flowers arranged to spell 'Happy Birthday, Jacob'. With everything ready, he went upstairs to find Jacob. "You got to see this," he said, grinning, and then took the man's hand as he ran downstairs, dragging Jacob along. He didn't stop until they were inside Haven. he turned to Jacob and smiled. "So what do you think?"
