WHO: Zacharias Smith and Jasper Dorny WHAT: Jasper said to meet at the pub, Zac is going. WHERE: The pub. WHEN: After this because they're awesome. Sorry it's late.
Jasper wasn't dead again. That alone was enough to make Zacharias grin from ear to ear. His friend was alive. Ernie would always have Justin, and Hannah would always have Susan, but Zac? He had lost Jasper ten years ago. Whenever he thought about how different things might have been if he had stayed and fought, he realized the only difference was that they would have switched places. If that. However, Jasper was back! And Zacharias apparated to the pub, despite the time. He was actually surprised it wasn't all ready packed when he walked in, and spotted Jasper. Zacharias took a seat next to him, trying to keep his excitement at bay, because it was very much unlike him to show this much emotion about anything other than winning.
"Forgive me for this, but," he said quickly, and before the other could say anything back, he embraced him. He needed a moment to enjoy an old friend being back. It was familiar, and in a place where nothing else at all was, this felt almost like home. Almost.
