Thread: Hufflepuffs! Who: Zacharias Smith, Ernie Macmillan, Megan Jones, Susan Bones, Lily Moon, Wayne Hopkins. When: July 6th, Evening (Backdated until last night cause I forgot they were gathering!). Where: Smith Manor. What: Puff Amry gathers. Possible potato singing and coat rack snogging. Rating: Low. Notes: We can pretend they're all there already to skip past the each person shows up at the door/Floo things :D And because they would have been invited, we can just say Justin/Hannah/the other two were invited but couldn't make it.
It wasn't uncommon for the Hufflepuffs to get together even outside of school. They'd been together for a long long time and had been through a lot together. Good times and bad times - but tonight would be a good time.
Zacharias had made the arrangements, with help from Lily and some of the others (because his idea of a gathering was just to grab some booze and empty stomachs be damned). They were set up in one of the upstairs rooms of the manor, a rather large 'sitting room', with various sofas and chairs and tables scattered about and a piano tucked in the corner for absolutely no purpose as Zacharias did not play. It was the room he generally entertained in, and one the other Puffs would be well familiar with.
His father was out on business, as was often the case. His mother was off in some other part of the manor, conspicuously absent. There was food set about on tables, nibbly snack-type things and sweets, of course, and various alcohols as well, including the Firewhiskey that Susan had 'requested' to try.
Which was precisely what Zacharias had just opened, smoke rising whispily from the mouth of the bottle. "Alright, Miss Susan Bones has never had Firewhiskey. Who's going to join her in a drink?" he asked as he reached for tumblers.
