RP: After Game Celebrations
Who: Viktor, Alicia, members of the Quidditch teams Pride of Portree and Montrose Magpies, fans!

What: after game drinks

Where: Quidditch pub in Portree

When: Friday night, Nov 7 [BACKDATED]

Rating: SFW to start with at least.

The match hadn’t gone as well as Viktor could have wished. He knew he shouldn’t have cut down on a couple of practices the last two weeks, to give the team the holiday days they desired. Between Halloween and Guy Fawkes Day, something he did not understand at all except perhaps for the fireworks, some practices had only been at half attendance, though none of them had been completely cancelled.

It showed in this game. Viktor was disappointed but relieved that at least he’d managed to catch the Snitch after a long game to make it a tie. He felt this game more keenly than some of the previous ones, but it had been longer than usual and he’d been very busy not only constantly looking for the snitch but trying to mitigate the damage done by the other team. It made it entertaining for the spectators, he was sure, but it did take a toll after a while.

Afterwards he was tempted to skip the proposed idea everyone seemed keen on to go out for drinks with the other team, given that it was a tie, but in the end he decided to go ahead and attend. He had complimented those who warranted it (his Keeper and his Beaters) and glowered at those who didn’t, though at this point they already knew they were in for it next week.

So they headed out, Viktor determined to at least have a good time because he really wasn’t getting out much lately, between work and the kids.

The match had been a tie, but it still felt a bit like a win; both teams had played well, each of them strong in the areas where the opponents were weak proving that the teams were equally strong. Granted, the Beaters could have been a little more precise in their aims and the Seeker had sharpen his turns, but they were minor things that would be gone over on Monday. When it came to injuries, Alicia had had nothing to do, at all, so she had easily accepted the invitation to the impromptu display of inter-League comradery, and had sent off a message to Adrian inviting him to join them, if his work allowed it. The Potions had kept him busy the past couple of days, so Alicia thought nothing of it if he didn’t show, but rather looked forward to going back to his place to distract him for a bit once they were done at the pub.

At the pub, Alicia did a quick round of the players, both to thank them for a good match, but also to make sure that they all were uninjured, before she sidled up to the bar. She had been offered plenty of pints and drinks, but with a low tolerance for alcohol and no intention of getting drunk, she had thanked no and opted to get her own. “Hi,” she greeted the wizard already by the bar, not getting a chance to talk anymore before the bartender appeared to take her order for a Nojito. As she waited, she turned to the wizard she had just greeted; only just now recognising him. “Good catch tonight, Mister Krum.”

His teammates were robustly enthusiastic, on the whole, ordering drinks and getting into the mood to celebrate even if it wasn't precisely a full celebration moment, to Viktor's mind. But he'd been in the top leagues so long that winning had been ingrained in him, though he was not a sore loser by any means. That didn't mean he had to be happy that they hadn't precisely won.

He bought a round for his players, regardless, and nursed a nice dark beer like a normal person. He rarely drank too much these days, except when he went out with Finn. They really needed to do something soon, he thought as he sipped. The tension that constantly lived in his shoulders told him he really needed a real grown up night out, without having to worry about the kids or his players.

"Mnogo blagodaria," (thank you,) he said with a smile, turning to the blonde witch and giving her his attention. He recognized her instantly from the fundraiser. "Mrs. Fawley, da?" He thought he was right, but there had been some conflicting input at the fundraiser when he'd listened around. He went with that one to be on the safe side; it never did to insult a woman when it came to her status. "It was a good game for your team," he complimented, nodding to a couple of the Pride players.

“Molya*,” Alicia smiled back, drawing on the standard phrases she had learned from the Bulgarian player that had played for Pride up until last season. She took a sip from her drink right before Viktor seemed to recognise her – something that would have sent her heart aflutter when she had been in school, now… it happened, though it was still nice. Nodding as she swallowed, she chuckled softly. “I am, but please, Alicia will do just fine. Mrs. Fawley is…” her late husband’s mother, though technically she was too. Somehow the formal title just didn’t fit in a place like this tonight. “Alicia will do.”

Her smile brightened a little at his praise of the Pride. “It was. The Chaser line is really outdoing themselves this year,” she agreed, “though your defense didn’t make it too easy for them and, like I said, your catch was brilliant. So how are you liking the Magpies?”

*Molya = You’re welcome

"Alicia," Viktor conceded with a nod and a smile. But still, it was better to be safe than sorry, when it came to addressing people. Besides, his mother had long instilled manners in him. "Da, your Chasers are definitely very good," he said, having no problem with praising another team and their players, especially when it had been a very good game on the whole.

"Ve haff room for improvement," he said with genuine humility. Of course, he always thought there was room for improvement, but then that was the captain in him. He did possess a competitive streak, though it wasn't as severe as some people's.

"The Magpies are a great team, and they haff been very accepting of trying new things so far. I am thinking my Chasers are not so fond of me lately," he said with an almost amused quirk of his lips, "but that is part of being captain. But it is a good fit so far, and all good players who vork hard."
