Characters: Michael Corner, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, Ginny Weasley, & OPEN
Setting: Starting at the Leaky, 5 November 2003, 6pm
Rating: PG? (depends on what happens in their drunken states!)
Summary: Pub Crawl Drinkstravaganza

Michael said that he would meet Ginny and the lot in the Leaky, though why he chose there he didn't know. Maybe it was the comfort the place offered him or maybe it was just that most of them were most familiar with it. Either way, he was ready to get pissed—possibly snog someone, hell maybe even shag someone, but definitely get pissed—watch some fireworks and be with some mates. Maybe this would help any number of them forget about the recent slew of bodies that had been turning up in the wizarding world. Maybe it wouldn't do anything but numb the pain for a few hours, but if that's what it accomplished, that was good enough for right now.

He planted himself at the bar and waited for Ginny to arrive, ordering only a butterbeer for the time being. He didn't want to start without her and the others, but he was rather thirsty. It felt a bit odd being on the other side of the bar for once. Hopefully they wouldn't stay at the Leaky all night. If he had his way they would make the rounds and get to see some fireworks while they were out as well. It would definitely be an eventful evening.

Drinking firewhiskey with her idiot brother so early in the morning had taken a bit of a toll on Ginny, but nothing a quick nap, a sandwich, and the desperate need to get away from mum for a while couldn't fix.

She loved her mother dearly, but she couldn't help her cope with her grief while trying to cope with her own and her brother's. She didn't have enough cope in her to go around. And she missed Harry and she hated the world right then, but if she didn't get out and get pissed, at least for one night, she'd lose her mind.

It was okay to let go for one night, wasn't it?

"So, Michael Corner." She spotted him at the bar, sipping a butterbeer of all things. The sight of something so tame made her smirk. "Going virgin for once? That's quite a change for you."

Michael turned and grinned at her. "Absolutely not. You know me better than that, Gin." He took another drink anyhow because it reminded him of Hogwarts and being young and a time when things weren't always shite, like when his sister was still alive. "I came here to get pissed, same as you. Just didn't want to start the party without the guest of honour. Your idea and all."

He stood up and offered her a hug. He would normally great her like this anyway, but she had just gone through some crap with Harry anyway so he wanted to offer her some comfort for that as well. "Anyone else say they would make it?"

She leaned into the hug. They had been a couple once, sure, and it had ended kind of messily (on account of Michael being a bad loser at the time), but they had managed to get past all that. Besides right then, she really needed the comfort.

"Ange and Ally said they would stop by, at the very least." She stepped back, looked at him. "But you know what? Even if nobody else but us turns up, we can have a party of two. Between us and the alcohol, we'll be just fine."

In fact, bring on the alcohol.

Alicia had slept until well past noon, waking with a floo call from her mother telling her about the rumours that Rosalind Bungs had died. Ally hadn't know the woman personally, but had heard of her and her business. The wake up call had been for the best anyway as Ally had a couple of massage appointments in the afternoon.

After the appointments and a quick supper, she had enough time to head home for a quick shower and change before leaving to meet her friends. It had been too long since her last drinking night (aside from girls' night with Angie), and so much had happened. She could do with a night of forgetting about the world with some good company.

She spotted Michael and Ginny immediately and smiled, hesitating to interrupt the moment. However, when they pulled out of their hug, she felt it was all right to approach, just in time to hear mention of the world alcohol.

"So what're we having?" she asked with a smile. She reached out and hugged Ginny in greeting, but not holding it too long lest it make the poor girl uncomfortable. Ally wanted to give her support without being abvious about it.

Angie wouldn't pass up an excuse to drink with friends - or really an excuse to drink at all. So she headed over to the Leaky and found the little crowd starting to gather. She cut right through try crowd for Ginny, Michael, and Ally in time to hear Ally's question. "What we're having is a round on me," she announced, linking arms with Ally.

"Evenin' all," she greeted them. She was late, of course, but not terribly. She'd come dressed in teal and left her coat at home, casting a warming charm on her clothes instead. She got warm when she drank and didn't want to have to worry about her coat, knowing she'd be stripping it off. If she did the same with the little shrug she wore, that wasn't a big loss.

"Well if it's a round on you then I'll take it!" Michael boomed, grinning at Angelina as she and Alicia arrived. He hadn't been surrounded by this many beautiful women in a while, not that he could complain, mind you. "Alright you lot, I'll get us the drinks, you find us a place to sit. Nothing too cozy, we got a long night ahead and can't stay in one place for too long or risk getting complacent."

With that he touched the two women who had entered last on the shoulders before heading to the bar to order them drinks.

"Round on you, Ange?" Ginny grinned as they found their way to a free table. "You're feeling generous tonight. I'm going to have to find a way to top that."

Whether topping that meant buying two rounds for everyone or dancing on a few tabletops, that remained to be seen. Really, she just needed a chance to let loose for a while.

They probably all did.

"We should make Michael's head explode by gyrating on tabletops and then snogging each other. That'll make for an explosive night."
