Happy Housewarming
Who: Greg, Pansy and open to invited guests.
What: Housewarming - drinks, food, Slytherin socialising.
Where: Greg's flat above McHavelock's Wizarding Headgear
When: Saturday night (let's pretend I didn't forget and fall asleep yesterday)
Rating: SFW? I'll update if not.

Pansy had organised the party, arranging and rearranging Greg's new furniture to suit herself while Greg looked on, moving what she told him to move and otherwise making himself helpful. She'd arranged for food and drinks, too and Greg tried not to wonder where the money was coming from. He doubted it was from his own suddenly inadequate Gringott's vault.

He had technically approved the guest list when Pansy had owled it to him earlier in the week, but he'd already basically forgotten who was on it. Marcus and Pansy, obviously, Astoria and Draco. Other Slytherins from their circle - Greg trusted Pansy's judgement on that. The wards were still up, but his door was open so that anyone could walk in from the street and up the stairs past Mrs McHavelock's shop.

Greg shook his head, barely registering that there was a compliment in her words. As far as he was concerned, it was simple fact. Yes, he was tall and muscular and had dark hair. "Too noisy." Even so many years after his hearing had been restored, he still had some trouble with places designed to be loud. They were just... overwhelming. "George Weasley, at the shop." He didn't think he'd have liked working nights, either. He had his routine and he was sticking to it. It was about the only thing in his life that hadn't changed.

"Hm, can be, I suppose. I've not been yet, but I want to go dancing sometime." She prefered, in her pureblood heart, the formal dancing she'd learned as a child; but she could settle for a beat in her blood on occasion. "Well, that's not too bad. At least it won't be boring," she said. Not a job she'd want and she was a bit surprised at Greg, but sometimes you did what you had to do, she knew this intimately.

Not a fan of dancing of any kind, Greg scowled. He'd learned as a child, but had never been graceful or good at delicate movement so his parents had given up fairly quickly. "I don't like it," he said simply. It was true. The customers, the products - none of it suited him at all. It was just what he had to do. Get a job, and he'd got one. "Potter keeps coming in to stare at me."

"That's too bad," she said, and swayed her hips for a moment and grinned. "It can be a lot of fun, especially with the right partner." She tilted her head to the side and looked at him. "Well, you could try to find another, while you're still working this one," she suggested. "Oh gods, is he? That's awful. I've not had trouble with him yet, but some of the Aurors who buy from the shop lurk and watch me sometimes."

"I meant I don't like working at the shop," Greg clarified. He was quite used to people misunderstanding when he chose simply not to reply to a topic he had nothing further to add to. He didn't particularly like dancing either, but that wasn't what he'd meant, so he explained. He frowned again. He hadn't thought of trying to find another job. He supposed he could. There were other shops, maybe ones whose owners weren't connected to Potter. "I'm supposed to work on Diagon Alley or Monument Alley." That ruled out a lot of things.

He nodded, scowl deepening as he thought about Potter. It was rare that he could empathise with someone, but he could understand Pandora's problem with this. "He doesn't want me to sabotage Weasley's business."

"Can't say I blame you there. It doesn't seem like a place I'd enjoy either." She shrugged then. "Well, there a bunch of jobs along those two. Keep an eye out, someone could be hiring. If I hear of anything I'll let you know."

She snorted and gave him a commiserating look over her glass. "Oh yeah, like you'd jeapordizeyour payday for something like that." BBesides, she really couldn't see Greg doing sabotage. Wrecking a place, sure, but sabotage? It didn't seem like his particular skill set.

	Greg smirked slightly, pleased that someone better with words than he was had said something not unlike what he'd told Potter. "That's what I told him." Not in as many words, of course, but that had been his general meaning. "Why would anyone bother?" he asked as an afterthought. He couldn't see any benefit to anyone in sabotaging Weasley's shop.

She grinned, and it was a slightly wicked expression. "No point in going for the shop. If you're going to get revenge, get it on a personal level," she stated, shrugging a shoulder. "Spread rumors, be a cockblock, let a secret slip. Unless you can utterly destroy a shop, there's no point." She was a go big or go home person sometimes, but if she didn't think she'd succeed or thought she'd be caught, it was a no go. Dora was known for having a bit of a vengeful, vindictive streak though. "Besides, you don't have anything against him personally, right? So you're right, what's the point?"

Greg frowned. He was a Slytherin, but not a particularly devious one and besides, he wasn't creative enough to come up with most of Pandora's suggestions. "I don't like him." Partly because he was a Weasley, partly because he didn't like his job. But it wasn't enough to prompt Greg to actually do anything more than complain. Besides, he was supposed to be being 'good', whatever that meant nowadays. "But he's not worth the trouble." By which Greg really meant he wasn't worth troubling Draco or Pansy to think about.

	"No, he's really not," she agreed. She smiled up at him and toasted him slightly with her glass. "I'll let you get on with some of your other guests," she told him, "but if I can do something to help out with this place or whatever, do let me know." (Reply to this) (Parent)
