Summary: Annual Halloween Bash at the 3Bs

The place looked brilliant; George Weasley came through for her yet again. The instant Haunted Swamp was creepier and more exciting than the last time she asked for it. The entire pub, tables and chairs include was covered with a thick green moss with gnarled tree branches and vines hanging from the rafters. The floor was hidden by a tense fog that tickled her ankles, even in her four inch stilettos. The candles gave off a combination of yellow, blue and green flames to give everything else around a ghoulish glow.

Sporting a Queen of the Night costume, her face broke out into a grin when Brigid finally emerged from the upstairs in the costume she picked out. "You look great, darling."

"You don't think it's a little...short?" Brigid asked, looking over her shoulder to make sure she was covered.

"Nonsense. There is no such thing as too short," she replied giving her daughter a wink. Since Brigid moved to London the two of the them hadn't seen each other regularly and Rosie missed her. "Besides, it's Halloween. Rumor an old woman?"

Chuckling, the younger witch shook her head. "You will never be old, Mum. Now, this get this bash going."

She didn't see a reason to reply to Sarah's comments about liking more than just Riley's good looks. Instead, she just smiled and continued to work. While Brigid found more than his physical appearance appealing, she felt what went on between them was between them and no one else needed to know.

"One more mojito coming up," she said, grabbing the mint and crushing it in the bottom of the glass before adding the rum, sugar, lime juice and splash of soda and charming the mint leaves. She worked efficiently and had the drink completed in no time.

"Enjoy."

Sarah quirked one of her eyebrows and shrugged. "Ah well, enjoy your evening, lovebirds!" she said in a singing voice, waving at them before leaving the bar.

Riley, who was still making the lemon twists, cleared his throat and shook his head. "How can someone be 'too much of a gentleman' what the heck is that all about?" He exclaimed, frowning. Sometimes, he really didn't understand the world and honestly, he didn't think he wanted to.

With a glance over her shoulder, she could tell that Riley seemed miffed by what the little gossipy girl said. While she was sure it was said out of hurt pride, she didn't want to explain to her boyfriend that Darla whoever thought he was gay. Instead, Brigid flashed him a smile and told him not to worry about it.

"She probably said it because she was jealous that you weren't paying attention to her," she said. "Which is fine by me because it means there is more of your attention to lavish on me."

Riley looked at Brigid and blinked for a long moment before he figured out that she was probably messing with him. "As if. Sarah would have whisked me into a broom closet if she had really wanted my attention." There were more than enough rumors about her, really, and Riley was very much aware of it. Most blokes in his dorm had received her attentions.

"Besides, I wouldn't divide my attention. It's all yours and no one else's."

While Brigid was talking about Darla and not Sarah, she simply shrugged her shoulders. "I would have thought pouncing would have made you less interested, not more."

Riley wasn't like a shot; something hard you take quickly to get over with. She saw him more like a fine red wine; something rich and flavorful that one savored and enjoyed for a long time. While she could see how whisking away to a broom closet would be eye opening; it wouldn't be anything else.

"That's good to know because as Mum would say you are positively drool worthy tonight." She winked at him before turned her attention to the person who just approached the counter.

Riley's confusion made him stop working on the lemon a moment. "Even if I did say she would have done it.. I'm not saying it would have worked." he told her, one corner of his mouth lifting into a smirk.

Her comment made him realize that she knew him better than he thought she did. He felt flattered.

"She would?" Riley asked Brigid, not too sure how to feel about that. He liked Madam Rosemerta, but really preferred her daughter.
