RP: Alastor and Marlene
Who: Alastor Moody and Marlene McKinnon
Where: Muggle Club in London
When: Monday, 25 October, 2025, evening
Summary: Alastor keeps his promise.
There was only so long you could keep a career Auror out of the office, even if they weren't the chronic workaholic Alastor was. When Marlene's restlessness had become worse than any lingering effects of her injuries, he let her go back to work. And, as she hadn't given him too much of a hard time about things, Alastor would keep his promise to take her dancing now that she was well.
Of course, when he'd made the promise, he hadn't counted on everything still being closed. Or, to be honest, he hadn't been thinking about location much at all, just getting her healed.
So, when he told her they were going out that night, he included mention that muggle attire she could move in would be required. He wasn't going to break a promise to spend time with her now that they were out of the siege and he didn't need to put the entire world ahead of their relationship. If they couldn't go to a place in the wizarding world, he'd take her into the muggle world.
The place he'd found was one of those rare throwbacks to earlier times. Most of the popular spots were the sort that had lines and lists, much like Eros, only they weren't VIPs who get into those clubs in the muggle world. But, the one he'd found was a 'theme club', featuring swing dancing on Monday nights. There was a restaurant area and a live band playing the music until midnight.
Alastor picked Marlene up from her office promptly at six that evening when their shifts ended, giving her a moment to change before making their way to the club, where he had reservations for dinner before the dancing. "It's not quite Eros," he said with a smirk, as the band began to warm up. "But, it's not the castle or the office, either."
