Summary: It's time for drinks and conversations
Status: Private | Complete

James had managed to get off from work a little earlier and had rushed home to make sure that they had everything ready. There was plenty of finger food, set up on different trays that they put in different corners of the living room. The table had been reserved for booze and there was lots of it from firewhiskey to cognac to anything in between. The beer and vodka was in large vats filled with ice. There was music playing on the background, but not too loud that people couldn't talk.

They had moved the furniture around. There was some magic involved, and the room was made bigger. They also had to transfigure some of the furniture so that they could have more chairs and couches, but in the end everything was perfect.

By the time people arrived, everything was set up. Now, it was time to enjoy the party.

(OOC: James has left the door ajar after opening it for Rose. People can come in and out and just talk to each other)

Minerva had arrived early enough to help James if he needed it. With a bottle of muggle tequila in her hand, wrapped in a paper bag, she knocked on the door to the flat and waited to be let in.

She grinned when the door was opened. "I'm here, the party can begin," Minerva said brightly.

Al answered the door to see Minerva Longbottom brandishing a bottle of something or other. He smiled tightly at her grin and said, "Minerva, good to see you," in a strict, cheeky manner. He hadn't decided what he thought about this party, but seeing as his brother and Dylan were still letting him crash on their couch, even with the move and all, he wasn't going to say anything about.

Besides maybe they could all - even Albus - use a night to relax. "James," he called, indicated Min could come in, "Minerva's here," he had been little help to his brother setting things up and assumed the elder Potter was still milling about with snacks and ice cube charms.

"Well hello there, handsome. You're growing up quite fast aren't you?" Minerva teased with Albus, walking inside the door to the boys' flat. "How's it been living with James? Has he learned to do any dishes yet?"

She gave Albus the bottle she was holding. "Tequila. For shots later. When things get more interesting." Minerva gave Albus a wink.

Rose apparated to the address provided on the letter with a bottle of scotch for the flatmates and one bottle of rum for the rest. She knocked, more out of politeness than anything else, and waited.

"Happy housewarming!"

James opened the door, and let her in. He almost closed it again, and then decided against it. Instead he left it ajar so people could come in and out.

"Hello, darling. How are you?" he asked as he kissed her cheek, and took the bottle. "Make yourself at home. There's food and drinks, but if you need something else, just go into the kitchen."

She returned her cousin's kiss on the cheek. "Congrats on the flat. It looks great. By the way," she said, pointing to the bottle of scotch which had a red bow on it. "That is for you and Dylan only. I don't want to see anyone else drinking it."

Lorcan surprised himself at how excited he was for this party. Normally he wasn't really one for large get togethers, but this was different. It was just the Potters, and Weasleys. And Dylan, he thought with a secret shiver. He'd told Sandy about the dinner that had actually been a date of course, and the kissing that had gone on, but they hadn't really had a chance to talk much about it.

So he was somewhat nervous, and his stomach was a little queasy, to think about seeing Dylan in such a large group; but he was excited as well. And a tiny part wondered if Dylan would want to try kissing again. It had been really nice, except for the in public part, but he didn't know how he felt about that either.

However, he'd distracted himself with brewing up perfect batches of the potions they'd need--Sober Up, No Hangover, Pepper Up and the like. There was enough for an army, but knowing the Potters and Weasleys, it would be needed.

Lori and Sandy arrived together, and the door was open so they headed right in. Lori gave his brother a smile and went to find a safe place for the Potions, so they wouldn't get lost or broken.

The party seemed to be picking up, with more than just his flatmates and Minerva here now, so Albus wandered toward the front and smiled brightly - genuinely this time - to see Lori and Sandy walk in. "Guys!" He greeted them with hugs and claps on the back before Lorcan headed to put his stash away - brilliant, that, bringing potions.

"So, how are you two doing? Still flat hunting?" He hadn't talking to either since the news of his parents had broke and seeing his friends just made him feel so intensely at ease. It was like suddenly being in the old Ravenclaw commonroom, just him and Sandy, up late studying or writing. Felt like home seeing the two of them.

Lorcan came back after stowing the potions away and grinned at Albus. "Hi Al," he said, moving to stand next to Sandy. "Yes, we've gone hunting a grand total of once, and found nothing." He sighed. "Apparently there is a lack of decent, mold-free places in London that we can actually afford."

It was good to see Al, since it seemed like the entire summer had gone by without any of them getting together very much. "Feels weird not to be going back to school though, don't you think? Normally we'd be getting ready to go on the Express. These days it's getting ready to go to work in the morning." Despite loving his job as a Healer's Apprentice, it was still odd not to be thinking about Hogwarts. "How about you? How's the Prophet?"

Dylan had to admit that as excited as he was for the party, as nervous was he about having both Lori and Dom there at the same time. He hoped it wouldn't be an issue, though, and had decided to ignore it firmly until it was.

He was already enjoying himself. The people, the music, the alcohol. It was just his cup of tea, and when he saw Lori and Sandy arrive, he grinned, though stayed away as Albus approached them. He could talk to Lori later. Possibly more if they ended up alone - though he did not count on that. Where he saw a crowded pub of strangers to be private - this was most certainly public. He preferred snogging in private.

He grabbed a beer, and turned as he heard someone speaking behind him.

"Seeing as your hand is already there, mind passing me a bottle?"

Minerva smiled at the blonde wizard who turned to look at her. "You must be Dylan, yeah? I remember you now. Minerva Longbottom. James' friend. He assured me you were a lot of fun."

She looked around the flat. "Nice place you have and it looks like the party is starting to go in full swing."

Dylan turned and smiled at the witch, passing her the bottle requested even while nodding and grinning. "We shared classes and a common room for seven years and you need Jamie telling you that I'm fun?" he grinned. "I'm so disappointed," he added with a mock posh accent.

"And hi, by the way. It's nice to see you again, Minnie. It's been too long. I hear you've been so lost without my company that you've spent time with Jamie instead. You must be lonely," he teased.

"Thanks, by the way, though we'll see how long we keep it. It's nice but a bit small for the three of us."

"So what have you been up to since school? Other than missing me terribly and spending time with James, that is."

Nathaniel was mildly nervous about this party though he was hiding underneath his usual impassivity. He'd never really dealt with the extended Potter/Weasley brood. He'd been older than any of them and most of them hadn't been in Ravenclaw anyway. Not to mention there was the whole thing with James and he probably ought to give the man an answer some time tonight about when they should do this thing. Dad was back at Hogwarts full time so the house was definitely clear.

He saw the door was open when he got there and hesitated for a moment before shrugging and walking in. There were already a few people there and he assumed the redheads must be Weasleys. He looked around an made sure he looked as underwhelmed as possible for James' benefit then went and got himself a drink.

James was still talking to Rose when he saw Nate arrive. He kept looking his way. The man really looked out of place with so many redheads and blonds around.

He excused himself from his cousin and approached his friend. "So do you have the need to run away after five minutes or do you think you can last a big longer?" he asked with a grin.

"I should warn you that you're probably the only one who isn't related to us or grew up with us and practically feel like he's related to us, so every single person will try hitting on you." He leaned in closer. "Or I can just kiss you now and wait for the fireworks."

Dominique was going to buy her coworker the best bottle of firewhiskey she could get her hands on. Waving her off, Ben had told her to go early, that he'd see her at the party she had invited him to earlier that night. After a quick stop at home to change-- after all, she was seeing Dylan tonight-- she Apparated to her cousins' new flat.

Stepping through the door, she looked for either James or Albus, but seeing neither, the bartender headed towards the bar area, intent on drowning her own thirst. Once a fruity little combo was in hand, she began to mingle.

Dylan saw Dom arrive from the other side of the room, and his eyes immediately darted to Lori to see where he was before he decided that to hell with it, it wasn't a big deal anyway, and walked over to her.

"Hey there," he said with a smile, checking her out. "You look fabulous tonight. How are you?"

"Hallo, Dylan." Dominique grinned when she saw him check her out. "I'm good. Out of work early, so I think I'll upgrade that to fabulous." Taking the last sip of her drink, she put her glass down. "How are you? Looks like you got taken over by Weasleys. How are you handling the invasion?"

This was new and interesting and a tiny bit awkward. Louis was arriving at a big bash by himself, even if he knew his sister was going to be there and perhaps he had broken the rules by making sure with his mum that he could attend, but he needed some... away time. As long as no one asked about camp, he'd be fine.

That was, if anyone recognized him. With his hair dark and carefully styled, he felt like a different person to the pointy bleached out teenager he usually was. He fussed with the collar of his shirt as he walked in, trying not to seem immediately like a wallflower.

She had arrived at James, Albus and Dylan's flat when there were already plenty of people there. Molly recognized a few cousins, and waved over at Minerva who was chatting up a cute blonde bloke. Molly looked and then recognized it was Dylan Vaisey. Of course Minerva had already zoned in on a cute wizard.

Not inclining to really drink much at the party, Molly still grabbed a beer from a bucket of ice and started to walk through the standing people. She nearly bumped into one dark-haired fellow.

"Oops, excuse me," Molly said, doing a half-step to avoid tripping over her feet. She then registered who it was she ran into.

"Louis? Oh goodness I didn't recognize you there. You dyed your hair!"

He blinked and stumbled a little when he was bumped and looked down (being taller than his cousin by a good bit) then let out a half smile. "Molly, hey. Yeah! Yeah, you know."

He reached up instinctively to make sure it was still all in its proper place. "I thought... it was a good kinda change? Makes me look a little older or something."

He'd been keeping an eye on Lori since he and Sandy arrived, expecting him to come up to him sooner or later. He hadn't, and though Dylan himself had been talking to one after another and hadn't had a moment to himself, Lori had, and still hadn't come up to him.

Deciding it was best to do something about it, Dylan excused himself to the girl he was chatting to, and followed Lori as he saw him pull back into the kitchen. He caught him fussing around with the potions on the kitchen table and flopped down in a chair next to him, one leg bent under him and one on the floor, hand over the back of the chair. He had two beer bottles hanging from his fingers and as he put them on the table, he handed one to Lori.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" he asked, avoiding the question he wanted to ask. "Have you been avoiding me?"

Lorcan had noticed the moment that Dylan had arrived, and was confused by the way that made his heart beat faster and palms sweat. He'd just about worked up the courage to go over and say hello, but Dylan had been talking to Minerva, and then Dom and who knew how many other girls over the course of the past couple of hours.

And he knew that he could go over and say hello, he didn't know Minerva or Dom very well, aside from being Albus' cousin and friend, but he felt oddly weird about it. Especially since he was pretty sure Dylan was flirting with both of them. He recognized the smile and the way Dylan looked at the girls from the way Dylan smiled and looked at him. And he knew he had no right to be upset about it, but he'd thought...he'd let Dylan kiss him. That meant something, didn't it? Maybe only to him.

So he'd retreated to the kitchen, ignoring Sandy's concerned looks, and fussed with the potions, even though it was a needless act. He nearly jumped when he heard someone come in behind him, but a glance over his shoulder showed that it was Dylan. Who looked really nice, and was already clearly slightly drunk. Lorcan himself had limited his intake to one beer, wanting to be able to administer Potions appropriately if needed.

"I'm not avoiding you," he denied, taking the offered beer and avoiding both eye contact and touching Dylan's hand. He put the beer on the counter and went back to reorganizing the Potions, this time by the color of the vial rather than by potion name. "You were busy."

He could not help but to notice that Lori was neither looking at him or touching him, which was quite different from last Wednesday.

"I'm the host, it comes with the territory." He smiled a bit, tilting his head and trying to catch Lori's gaze. "You could have interrupted."

He looked at the potions, then back at Lori. "I don't think they can be arranged much neater, you know. At least not until someone touches them which will be a while." He looked at the door as someone came straggling in, looked around and stating that this wasn't the bathroom before giggling and ducking out again. The moment the door was closed Dylan cast a privacy charm on it, "encouraging" people to try another door.

"I've been looking forward to seeing you again," he said now that he was certain no one (Dom) could see or hear them.

Ben had closed up quickly after the pub closed, eager to get to the party Dom had told him about. He wasn't at all worried that it was after one in the morning. A real party didn't even get started until about now.

He Apparated to the address he'd been given, and grinned when he noticed that the door was still open. He let himself in, and was pleased to see that there was still a good number of people hanging around, all in various states of drunkeness. It was loud, and there was some seriously awesome music playing, and Ben was feeling more like himself for the first time all week.

He looked around and recognized James Potter, and headed over. He might as well greet his host before getting a drink.

James turned around when he saw someone he barely recognised. It wasn't normal considered that he was related to almost everyone in the room, and it was his party.

"And who would you be?" he asked, smiling. While he doubted that people just walked into the house, with the open door one never knew who could show up.
