The other night had been one of the creepiest she'd ever had on her job. She'd been asked to do some unorthodox things in the past but this one had crossed the line as far as she was concerned. She hated that the man was going to be black listed because he'd been completely harmless. She couldn't help but wonder if one of the other girl's would have been fine with the request.

Therefore, tonight she wanted to completely forget work. A night where she could just hang out with friends and forget that anything else existed rather than the here and now was just what she needed. She started by ordering a some food and her favorite drink then heading to a table. There was no guarantee that anyone from her usual crowd would show up tonight, but at least she wasn't home alone.

After a moment's concentration, Lucy nodded. "Dominic is the dark-haired guy who's usually around?" she asked, seeking more confirmation than anyone. She was still getting to know how things worked in Monument Alley, and didn't know everyone yet. "The magic that goes into all this stuff is really impressive." There was the slightest wistful note in her voice, but she quickly moved on. "It seems like you've been the one bringing people together, though. I'd never have known about the events if it weren't for you."

It was only because they were talking about spells anyway that Lucy was able to follow the apparent leap of logic Marietta made, and quickly shook her head. "No. Wow, I guess you guys don't have that stuff." There were so many differences it still made her head spin, even after working in the wizarding world for a few months. "No, this is all stuff I did in my muggle primary school - no magic involved. For the three-legged race, you just tie something round -" She paused, realising she didn't even know whether Marietta was picture one person or two or what. "So, you get two people to stand next to each other, and you tie this leg -" she gestured to her own leg nearest Marietta "to this one." She gestured again, this time to Marietta's leg. "Then they have to run. Everyone usually falls over, and the team that started out slowest will usually win, if they're careful. It's good fun." Lucy offered a smile. "Should I explain an egg and spoon race, too?"

"That would be Dominic," she nodded. "He's the best. My ideas aren't always put together that well in the beginning but he talks me through them and pretty soon we have something fabulous on our hands." She was grateful for all Dominic's assistance, he'd become somewhat of a friend. Or at least as much of a friend as she would allow in.

Her face sort of screwed up in a mixture of confusion and disgust at being tied to someone in public. It didn't sound particularly fun and she wondered if others felt the same way. "It sounds," she paused and tired to find the best word, "interesting." Though she had to admit that such a thing would likely appeal to the masses. "Maybe you can help me come up with a list of these races and go with me to present another event to Seamus."

"Two heads are better than one," Lucy agreed cheerfully. "Talking something through with anyone is helpful, in my experience - but obviously even more so if he's then able to implement it all into reality." She finished off her drink with a smile, pushing the empty glass away from her across the table.

She didn't miss the expression on Marietta's face, and though it put her a little on the defensive she tried to push that uncomfortable feeling away. Marietta hadn't said anything disparaging about muggles, or the sports day activities, and she seemed willing to go forward with the idea. Given that, her initial feelings weren't necessarily the right thing to judge her on. "I'd be happy to," she said, glancing at the bar. "Do you feel like getting out of here and heading to Wingbeat?" she asked. "I feel like I'm wasting this dress otherwise."
