WHO: Slytherin Boys
WHAT: GAME
WHEN: Tuesday Evenin
WHERE: Theo's London Penthouse
RATING: Probably high for what these boys will discuss

Theodore kept the apartment in London and claimed business reasons for living close by. Really he couldn't stand to live in the Nott manor. He would have sold it but the estate had been in Graham Nott's family for over three centuries and it would have raised too many questions.

The apartment was modern with sleek stainless steel, black leather, and dark wood surfaces. He had a bar set up with inlaid lights across from the door and a sunken seating area in the middle of the main room. Off to the left of the front door was his bedroom, bathroom, and office. Off to the right was the kitchen.

Theodore had set up poker in the kitchen on the chestnut table. He had ordered takeout (wings, chips, cheese sticks) and stocked up on beer and finer liquor. Theodore was ready for his guests to arrive, ready to have some social time where he wouldn't have to worry about business or entertaining women.

The doorbell rang as his first guest arrived.

Adrian always lost when he played poker, always drinking a little too much and losing his poker face before everyone else. Losing a bunch of his hard-earned gold wasn't going to deter him, however. To him, these poker games were more about spending time with the boys than they were about winning money. It was also going to be nice to put some effort into his appearance. Ever since he moved in with Katie, Adrian became a shadow of his former well dressed self, and typically only wore his underwear, and maybe a t-shirt if it was chilly.

Adrian arrived first, carrying an offering of fancy, expensive cigars.

	Theodore looked at Adrian and then down at the box of cigars. Good choice, he thought. He stepped back to let Adrian in with a masculine pat on the shoulder. "First one here. That means you get dibs on the liquor. We'll be playing in the kitchen." Theodore gestured to the kitchen door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Draco was looking forward to a night out. Work had been rather busy lately, and poor Astoria had needed some extra support after the stressful week her family went through... not to mention how clingy Draco had been after their holiday in St. Lucia.

Draco went to the island a boy, and came back a man. And now he couldn't get enough of his girlfriend. It was good to get out of the house, even though a part of him would rather be home with her.

He had a bag of galleons and a bag of expensive liquor in his arms as he knocked on the front door.

	"I'm feeling like vodka tonight, if you have any," Adrian answered, following Theodore inside and heading to the kitchen. He was just setting the box of cigars down onto the table when he heard someone else knock on the door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Check the bar. I have a new bottle of Stoli from Christmas," he gestured to the bar. He had gotten the expensive liquor from a business partner who Theodore suspected was trying to get him to marry his dumpy daughter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Miles showed up behind Draco at the front door. He gave the other a smirk and a nod, shoving his hands deep into his coat pockets. It was a good thing for him to be getting out, too. He had a lot on his mind. He reached forward and knocked again. "C'mon, mate, it's bloody freezing out here." He called through the door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Theodore had just ducked off to show Adrian the vodka when he heard Miles knock. He dashed to the door and opened it. "Sorry about that. Heat's out in this hall and the super... well I can't exactly owl him." Muggle. Theodore would have to see what he could do about charming the hall later. "Come on in."

	While Theodore was seeing to who was at the door, Adrian poured himself a vodka on the rocks. He sipped it, smiling. He didn't particularly like the taste of vodka, but as he didn't drink it much anymore it was a good change. He took a seat at the table and waited for everyone else to join him.

	Theodore closed the door behind Miles and Draco. He had his own drink up on a ledge and he plucked it down to take a sip. "When you get into the kitchen," he said, lowering his drink to hold in front of his body, "Put your galleons down on the table. I've got chips divided up to start already. No bets in increments smaller than a galleon." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Miles and Draco both came in and made themselves at home, fixing drinks and lighting up cigars. Draco was the first to settle down at the table, setting his drink down to dig through his moneybag. He felt a little awkward to be there with the others--people he hadn't spoken with in a long time. It was nice to get back into things, though.

Miles made himself a tall drink, clapping Ade on the shoulder as he made his way over to the table. He plopped down in a seat between Ade and Theodore. "Why would anyone bet less than a galleon?" He asked, then tossed his money bag onto the table.

	"Draco." Adrian greeter the younger man first, and gave him a tilt of the head in greeting, and then clapped Miles on the arm in return after he sat down. He drank more of his vodka before lighting himself a cigar. Adrian reached into his pocket to pull out his own gold and set it down next to his glass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Alright, we'll cycle dealers so nobody gets touchy about fairness. You're all free to inspect the cards," Theodore set the cards out in front of him and then set to the business of cutting and lighting a cigar. He didn't smoke often, but he liked the flavour when he did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Adrian." Draco responded in kind. He leaned back in his chair a little, bringing out little stacks of galleons and setting them on the table to count out the right amount. He passed them over to Theodore in exchange for the chips on the table in front of him, then waved his hand at the cards. Draco was an excellent poker player, as he had an amazing poker face. "I wouldn't be here if I thought you were going to try and cheat money out of me," he chuckled.

Miles lifted his glass for a gulp, then reached for the bottle to refill it. He was planning on getting drunk and having a good time with his buddies. It was nice to take his mind off of things. He nodded, too, as he agreed with Draco. It wasn't like he thought anyone was going to cheat him here.

"Three hundred Galleons is really not worth stealing," he said with a smile. That was the cost of a used car for some muggles, but Theodore had his father's fortune and everything he had already built for himself. His investments had seen a lot of growth.

"So, Draco, how is your mother?" Theodore always thought Mrs. Malfoy was fit, but he was a respectable young man and he never let Draco know that he liked to admire. He seemed like he was just being a polite pureblood.
