Melinda + OPEN

It was a mild evening, though with the very likely risk of the temperature dropping later on, Melinda had pulled a light coat over her sleeveless red top. Checking to make sure that her wand was safely tucked away in her purse, she gave Oliver’s hand a gentle squeeze before they left The Leaky Cauldron on the Muggle side. It was one thing to tell Cho about Oliver – and Roger to some extent, though he had guessed based on assumptions – and quite another thing to have him actually meet her friends, and that at a party where there had been grumblings about the encouragement of plus ones. Granted, Oliver probably knew most, if not all, of the other people in the group, but still.

Out on the street, Melinda smiled when she saw that they weren’t the first ones there. “Hey,” she smiled in greeting as she came up to them.

Ben was on time for once, which was something of a miracle in and of itself. That he was the first to arrive was even more surprising, but he didn't think he'd be kept waiting long. Dressed in his usual club wear, tight jeans and a black t-shirt, he'd added a plaid button-up for dinner.

He was proven right on the not waiting long when he saw Melinda and Oliver walk up. "Hi, thanks for arranging this," he said, giving her a warm squeeze and smiling at Oliver. "Glad you could make it, Oliver. I hope you know what you're getting into with this group. I can't promise there won't be dancing on tables later." Once the alcohol started flowing, it was anything goes.

Roger was running slightly late. He'd had a checkup with his Healer, and had only managed to escape by promising to have another check up in the morning. Walking up, he saw Ben, Melinda, and Oliver standing around talking.

"Heya guys," he called out as he walked up. "Sorry for being late!" Smiling, he pulled Ben into a huge bear hug and ruffled his hair. "Left the hound at home tonight I see?"

	Ben wrapped himself around Roger, and laughed. "You know what a sloppy drunk he is, I thought it best to leave him home." He gave Roger a smacking kiss on the lips, then hopped down. "So, where are my presents?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Who's a sloppy drunk?" Bryn asked, even as he wrapped his arms around Ben from behind in a vice-like hug. He was late, but if anyone in the group had actually expected him to be bang on time, they obviously didn't know him well enough at all. "Presents? Why do you need presents when you have our presence, cupcake?" he teased. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roger snorted, wrapping his arms around the two of them. "Now if this isn't a threesome waiting to happen, I don't know what is," he joked. He nodded in agreement, poking his tongue out at Bryn over Ben's head. "I agree, the glory of our presence should be enough for you, shouldn't it studmuffin?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Marietta walked up to the small group and shook her head as she caught the tail end of the interaction between Ben, Bryn and Roger. "Looks as if I've arrived just in time. Can't let your ego overshadow our brilliant Ben."

If there was anything Mari was good at it was pulling everyone back to reality. It wasn't that she didn't enjoy a good joke, she simply never quite felt as if she fit in to the teasing. She'd never been able to decipher between a sarcastic teasing statement and the passive aggressive attack.

"Don't promise things you're not willing to see through," Ben teased Roger. "A threesome for my birthday could be just the thing." Though Bryn was entirely straight, so he didn't think he'd go for it.

Ben extracted himself from the lads to give Mari a hug too. "Roger gives it a good try, but my ego's healthy enough to take his," he grinned. "Glad you made it." This last was addressed to the whole group, and rather rhetorical in nature.

	"I couldn't keep up with you two anyway," Bryn said, managing to keep a straight face. It was good to see Ben happy and not moping about turning another year older. "Glad to be here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh now c'mon darling," Roger said, smiling cheekily at Marietta and putting an arm over Bryn easily. "We were just having a bit of fun at Ben's expense. Rowena knows it's not like he doesn't do the same for us. If we were a band, we'd be the Ego Deflators. Perhaps that's how we'll make our millions."

He looked at Bryn and poked his tongue out. "You so could, dearie. But enough of that, how've you been anyway?"

	Marietta simply shook her head in resignation. She'd basically grown up with these guys but that didn't mean she'd ever really understand them. It was still tough trying to navigate the nuances of some of their interactions. The boys continued their banter and she slowly stepped back to watch the interaction and wait for the group to make their way toward the restaurant. (Reply to this) (Parent)
