Who: Susan and OPEN, literally anyone

What: Drinking

Where: Finnigan's

When: Tuesday September 9, early evening

Rating: SFW I think?

Susan was, to borrow a rather wonderful phrase from her brother, completely and totally off her face. She'd arrived at the bar straight after the funeral, and begun drinking with the sort of grim intensity and dogged determination of someone who was absolutely committed to getting drunk as fast as humanly possible.

By the time she was properly drunk, it was early evening and most of the pain from watching her colleagues family cling to one another and sob as their only daughter placed in the ground had dulled to something more acceptable. Thinking that perhaps she should interact with the people around her, she looked around the pub.

	Lavender gave a scoff of her own. "Mac's ego can stand a bit of teasing. And if it can't," she added, raising her eyebrows, "I think I know a few ways to soothe it." She picked up another shot, holding it out and echoing their toast. "To friends." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry, feeling loose from the alcohol, laughed. "I'm sure you do, Lav, and I'm sure he's a lucky man for it." He tossed back yet another shot, beyond thinking about the consequences for tomorrow. Right now, he wanted to enjoy his friends, and celebrate the life of a lost colleague. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Susan chuckled into her drink. "I'm sure you do dear, do you do that thing," she made a horrifically graphic gesture, "And then you know," another, filthier one followed, "And then with your tongue?"

She slapped Harry on the back as he took another shot. "That's the spirit Haz. We're both going to pay for this tomorrow, but it'll be worth it." She looked over at Lavender. "How are you going to deal with this tomorrow Lav?"

Lavender could barely finish swallowing her shot before she started laughing. She delicately wiped the corner of her mouth, still giggling. "Um. Sometimes I start with the tongue before the..." She tried to copy Susan's second gesture, but wasn't quite as proficient at it, which made her giggle again.

"Hmm. A fry up, extra concealer and probably a healthy dose of complaining into my pillow."

Under normal circumstances, Harry would be Weasley red in the face with conversations like this. Sometimes he thought he was the only one in his circle of friends who was inexperienced enough with sex that everything about it made him blush, despite the desire to become less inexperienced in certain areas. But tonight, with the amount of alcohol consumed in a short amount of time it only made him laugh. "Good for you, Lav. And better for Mac, I think."

Since he didn't want to think about tomorrow, and how it would be at the office, he just shrugged and ordered another round. He'd lost track of what number this was, but that only made it better.

	Susan grinned at Harry and then over at Lavender. "One of these days we need to find a willing man and show young Harold here the tricks," she said, before breaking down into fits of glee. "A fry up will be essential. So will concealer. Harry if you come over I'll put some concealer on you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

As Susan broke down, Lavender was slightly more composed, smiling at Harry. In all honesty, it had been a long time between the last time she had taken someone to bed and this whatever-this-was with Mac that it was a wonder she even remembered how to do anything. Susan, she was sure, had a better balance in that part of her life.

She took another shot, reminding herself to get the next round. "He can probably get away with dark circles better than us. Lucky bastard."

Harry was starting to lose the initial buzz, and with it could feel the exhaustion come over him. He wanted to go home, crawl into bed, and sleep into forever. Instead, he ordered another round--who knew what number this was--and chased the gleeful feeling he'd had just a minute ago.

"If I had any idea how to work concealer, I would. Dark circles are not a good look for anyone," Harry said, dropping his head down on the bar. The last shot had worked quickly, and instead of glee he was mostly just sleepy. "Should get home. Going to be hell tomorrow."

Susan nodded at Lavender in glum agreement. "It's never fair, men can walk around with puffy eyes and it's all 'Oh yes well done you obviously got lots of ladies into bed' but the moment a girl has sleepy eyes she gets snide comments. Double standards I tell you, it's just not Quidditch."

She sighed and looked at her watch. "I suppose I should go home too? Lavender do you need to drunk girl stagger with someone? Or should we call Cormac?"

Lavender wrinkled her nose, uncertain at the mention of Cormac. "We're not dating. I don't even know what we are. He's just... Well, he's just Cormac, you know?" She decided she was too tipsy to dwell on that or she might starting thinking that it would be a really good idea to get some of those really great kisses now.

She also decided not to count how many shots she'd had. Best to let that remain one of the mysteries of the universe.

"Mm. I'll be fine." A little wobbly, but fine. She peered around Susan at Harry. "Though I think someone else might be stumbling home," she said pointedly.

Harry snickered. "Bet he's good in bed. He looks like he'd be good in bed. Nice arms." Harry knew he was going to regret this in the morning, but right at this moment he found it hard to care. "You're lucky, Lav."

He waved away Lavender's concerns. "M'ok. I'll get home fine, I've Apparated in worse conditions than this." At least, he hoped he wouldn't Splinch himself. That'd be embarrassing.
