Frankly, it felt odd to only be following Quidditch from the sidelines. Well, all right, in her professional career, Alicia had only followed Quidditch from the sideline, but she had been part of the team, responsible for their physical state an all that. But now she wasn’t. Now, she was a student, she was going to school, she was doing homework right along with her children and she was loving every moment of it.

Of course, it did put a damper on her mood that two of her best friends’ teams had lost this weekend, but with Angie around and her penchant for dancing, it had only felt natural for Alicia to go along those lines and take advantage of that.

She had slipped into the shiny black dress she had, and met up with the girls and had Apparated from the garden to the Apparation spot closest to Wingbeat.

The music was loud and imposing and just perfect. Though she knew that Adrian wouldn’t be around until later, she still looked around to see if she could spot him and before she knew they were by the bar.

“First round’s on me!” She announced, and waved for the bartender to get a tab started in her name.

Angelina had jumped out of her slouching around the house clothes and into a a floral dress she was entirely too fond of and some strappy heels. She'd lengthened the dress a tiny bit with a spell back when she got it so that she wouldn't inadvertently flash her underwear if she ended up bouncing with her arms in the air. It might not exactly be club-specific wear, but it made her feel good.

"Perfect," she called, following Ali to the bar. "Just a butterbeer for me, thanks. Don't want to overdo it." She was already moving her head to the music, one foot tapping slightly whenever she was standing still. She was looking forward to the dance floor already.

Angelina + Chris

Chris was standing at the bar when he saw a familiar blond - Alicia - and her tall, good looking friend that was slightly less familiar (but he was pretty sure he recognized her as Angelina from the Griffindor team back at school) approach. He'd worn a simple black button up (as usual) and dark jeans, but the girls had clearly gone all out.

"Don't want to overdue it?" He asked, "Where's the fun in that?" He smiled and set his empty glass down, moving closer to them, "Ali," he nodded at his co-worker, "And you're... Angelina, right?" He was pretty sure, but just in case. Putting out his hand he introduced himself, "I'm Chris Summers, I work with Alicia at Fawley," he wasn't positive she would remember him from school, but felt odd introducing himself but his House all these years later.

"I have training and a diet sheet to stick to if I don't want to get grumbled at by the Healers. I can have plenty of fun without booze," she said, flashing a wink at the stranger. Then he proved that he was probably Chris by nodding to Ali. She took the proffered hand and shook it. "Yep that'd be me," she said grinning at him. "Nice to meet you."

She'd been pretty pleased to find that the UK seemed to be as full of cute men as New Zealand had been, only the ones she remembered had all grown into themselves, if slightly less tanned in most cases. It was a lot of fun. "As you might have guessed I went Quidditch pro. I really would get yelled at if I went to mad with my drinks." She shrugged. She'd been told plenty of times she had enough energy without alcohol to loosen her out.

Chris smirked at her, "I have no doubt you don't need the help," he shook his head with a dark chuckle. "And actually, we've met before," he cocked his head, "You flew against one of my best mates at Hogwarts. Cedric was my roomie," he explained.

"And I have to say, the Quidditch League is lucky to have you, I imagine you've only gotten better since school, and any team would be lucky to have you as their public face, if I may say so boldly," he looked her up and down with a friendly smile.

"We... ah. Sorry," she said, realisation setting in that she probably had known his face once upon a time. Less well than Cedric's. Thoughts of that murder and all of the lost potential always sobered her up for a few seconds. Her name had been in that Goblet too, after all. "Yeah, it's been a while though. Sorry I didn't remember you," she said. "Everyone looks so different now."

Another flirt, this was her lucky night. Even if it went nowhere flirting was excellent at making her feel good about herself. "You may indeed, sir," she said, amused by his formal words. "And yes, I got better. Took a while to work through to the main team, but it's a lot of fun with the hard work." There was no point being too modest when she'd worked her arse off to get where she was.

Katie was excited about going out with the girls and pulled out a-not-very-often-used dress. She lengthened it just a couple inches because well... she wasn't Alicia. She found shoes to match it in her closet and decided to put a slight curl in her hair as well, wearing it down.

She followed her friends into the bar and passed on a drink, at least for now. Kate hadn't been dancing in what felt like ages.

Settling for a glass of water, just to get started, Alicia took a quick gulp, before the swaying of her hips became too much for her. Swaying and shimmying, she grabbed a hold of Angie’s hand, figuring that she would tug Katie along, and made her way to the dancefloor.

This was what it was all about. The music so loud that you didn’t have to worry about what could be heard or not, and so many people that no matter how you moved, you couldn’t help but move along with them. Raising her arms above her head, she gave in and let go of any reservations about what people around her might think. This was why she had come out tonight, this was why she loved dancing.

Angie did indeed grab onto Katie's hand, by a couple of fingers since she was also holding her drink.

She didn't bother trying to speak, instead just throwing her body into moving to the music. One arm kept coming back down to her mouth as she slowly worked through her Butterbeer, but mostly they were in the air as her hips swayed and her whole body moved to the beat thumping through the floor. It felt good to let go in a crowd, let her lingering frustration at Thursday's match melt away and just let herself feel free.

Katie allowed herself to be dragged onto the dance floor; she wasn't going to argue anyway. It took about 30 seconds before she, too, was into the moving and dancing with the beat. It had been entirely too long since she had done this.

She didn't care what anyone else thought at this moment, she was happy and that's all that mattered. She briefly wondered if Angie was going to want to talk tonight or not. That thought soon left her mind.

	They lived in the same house, after not having been in the same country for years, and yet, it wasn’t until they were all out on the dancefloor that Alicia felt the return of that old vibe from back when they had worked as one on the Gryffindor Chaser line. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Adrian + OPEN

It was all ready about half past eleven by the time Adrian had cleaned himself up and gotten to the club to meet Alicia. He wore his usual black jacket with a t-shirt and jeans, but didn't particular care that the bouncer looked at him like he was dressed down. He was one of the most wealthy business owners on Monument, and he knew it, he could dress how he damned well please.

He went to the bar to get himself a whiskey on the rocks and watched for his girlfriend in the crowd.

Alicia was just about to suggest Katie that they go get a drink, when she glanced to the bar and saw Adrian standing there, looking for all the world like he was made to be there. Their eyes met for a moment, long enough for her to nod that yes, she had seen him, before she leaned in to let Katie know that she was just going to go get a drink and that she was welcome to join her at the bar.

Still moving the music, she made her way through the crowd until she was in front of Adrian, greeting him with a kiss that bordered on inappropriate and revealed that at this point she was at least on the tipsy side of sober.
