RP: Friday Night Lasagne
Who: Angelina, Alicia, Katie, Oliver, Liam and Isla [NPC], possibly Adrian later
What: An evening with lasagna has turned into a bit of a get-together
Where: Alicia’s house in Kensington
When: Friday August 7, 2005
Rating: SFW (there are kids there), though there may be some language (if/when the kids are out of earshot)

With Angelina living in the flat on the lower ground floor, and Katie on the third floor, the scene was all but set for one of the best Chaser-lines in Gryffindor history (in Alicia’s ever so humble opinion) to reunite on a regular basis. But… that wasn’t the case. Oh, they met, and there’d been dinners or a late night glass of wine, but never a real get-together. And by throwing in Oliver it only added to that reunion sort of feeling. Of course, there was the added bonus of Isla and Liam being there, but it had been their suggestion that they make lasagna, and then things had just started rolling from there.

“Alright, so…” Alicia said, as she put a copy of the recipe on the fridge. “Liam you…”

“Uhm…” Liam checked the ingredients list as Isla began nudging him so she could get a closer look too. “Celery! I do the celery!” he declared and earned himself growling sigh when rather than letting Isla take a look, he simply flung the fridge door open and started digging through the vegetable drawer.

“I’ll do the carrots,” Isla chimed in and for once was polite enough to thank her brother when he handed her the carrots.

Not long after, the kitchen was filling with the savoury aroma of lasagne sauce simmering on the stove and the three of them were gathered around the kitchen island, going over the lists both Angelina and Oliver had sent to them.

”Oh, Ollie has a key for it,” Alicia said with a smirk and a shrug. “Katie’s floor doesn’t lock off like yours does, so…” She gestured to Oliver in the next room; he’d had key since… well, she wasn’t really sure when his copy of the key had been made, but she didn’t recall doing it.

Coming up next to Angelina she looked over the food they had managed to make. “Well, with two people on different diets, two children, and two who can eat what they want when they want, it’s bound to be varied.” She gave Angelina a playful nudge with her hip before she grinned and nodded. “Ooh, yes! Pictures.”

Oliver loved Alicia's children as though they were his own; he doted on them, and often, though sometimes encouraging bad habits. Today's bad habit came in the form of Oliver bewitching the plates to hover over the twins' heads and have them jump for them ('first to catch and set the most plates wins!'). He tried to keep the twins from becoming too excited else they'd shout and draw attention from Alicia.

"Isla, shh." He tried to shush the girl while giving her a high five. "Don't want to ruin the fun. Right, then. I want you both to set the spoons on the table going right to left, and Liam you set the forks from left to right. Who ever finishes first wins! Let's go!" He clapped his hands, setting the two children scurrying off and bumping into eachother.

Katie's ears perked up in response to what Angie had said "Pictures? Sounds fun." She carried the drinking glasses into the dining room, careful to avoid the kids running around with utensils and plates. Oliver sure knew how to keep them entertained.

"Anyone sitting in any particular spot?" Katie only asked because she knew she had to sit on an end due to being left handed and bumping elbows wasn't fun. She didn't have to, but it was preferred.

In the time it took to retrieve her camera from its place on the shelf in the sitting room Angie also had the need to thwart an escape attempt by Smudge. Bless her but the cat was tenacious. Angie jogged back up the stairs again with camera in hand, cat still safely on the other side of the locked door.

As she came to the dinning room she grinned at what appeared to be some form of organised chaos and immediately poked her camera into life to get some shots of the racing twins, Ollie's benevolent overseeing, and Katie waiting to set up glasses that were probably not the right thing to give to the little scamps in charge of cutlery. She took a few photos and then settled the camera back around her neck. "I don't think so, although I assume you get an end or corner so nobody gets jabbed in the side by a stray elbow," she said. That lesson had been learned back at Hogwarts after one too many jostled sides at mealtimes. "Best ask Ali though," she added.

”Sit anywhere you want,” Alicia said as she came into the dining room and without even blinking at the chaos around her, she grabbed the utensils from first Isla and then Liam as they came rushing by her. “No running with the silverware,” she reminded them, casting a glance at Oliver to let him know that he was included in that admonishment. “And go wash your hands before you eat.” As the twins scampered off to the kitchen to do just that, Alicia placed the lasagne on the table, and levitated the rest of the bowls in from the kitchen.

“Alright, well, if anything’s missing,” she said, looking over the table, “you all know where to find it.”

	A subtle pout appeared on Oliver's lips and his head dropped ever-so-slightly, not unlike a dog who had been scolded. "Looks great, Ali." Oliver smiled, moving to the chair on the left side of the table next to Isla's drinking glass. "We ready then?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
