The surprise had been blown but it didn't mean that Ernie was going to do a lesser job at the party, nor did it mean that it wasn't going to be a great time. What his goal in the end was to celebrate his best friend, of course. Ernie tried his best to forgive Zacharias during these trying times, but the man was getting on his nerves. He felt bad for Smith, and had accompanied Heather to the funeral that morning, but steered clear of his former classmate, just since he wasn't sure what he'd do if he had heard another smart remark.

He shook his head as if in an effort to dislodge his former classmate from his mind. Ernie had ordered enough pizza, and put out enough crisps and other snacks to feed a small army. He would rather have too much than too little, and had similarly erred on the side of caution when it came to drink. He was aware that Bianca was going to bring in some cake, and all was well in the world. For now, at least.

Zacharias & EVERYONE

"Fuck you, Corner. People get treated exactly how they treat others." It was rather circular logic that didn't quite work, but he had said his piece. Hell, he probably would have left sooner if not for the outburst he somehow got caught up in. And while he was still planning to leave, it certainly didn't want to just go out with his tail between his legs.

While the other men might have forgot their wands, Zacharias Smith hadn't. He pulled out his wand, mind spinning with spells he could use that would allow him a more fitting exit. Zacharias quickly settled on a well aimed spell that made every cup and bottle explode sending a rain of beverages upon the guests. "Have a fantastic night, ladies."

Unlike before, this time he didn't linger around for their reaction. They wanted him gone and he wanted to go, he had nothing left here. Zacharias Smith just backed up and out of the door, with the intent to apparate away once in the hallway again.

When Ernie spoke, Jasper's attention left Zacharias's - long enough for him to draw his wand. Whatever stirrings of sympathy Ernie might have caused in Jasper for Zacharias was squashed completely when that explosive spell was cast.

Jasper jumped in surprise along with everyone else, Zacharias's last remark ringing in his ears. He watched Zacharias go for the door, but didn't follow, instead calling after him, "Once a coward, always a coward, eh, Smith? You get treated exactly how you deserve." And Jasper was done with him. He had more important things to worry about - like seeing if Justin and Bianca were okay.

As he started back to wear he'd left Bianca, Jasper cast Ernie a look. "Stop making excuses for him. He's the last person who deserves it."

The explosions startled Ernie and in an almost automatically programmed response he had pushed Michael towards the floor and drew his wand, and pointed it to Smith. It took him a few seconds to get past the initial reaction to the noise. But when he realized what it really was he could still feel his heart pounding in his ears. He let out a sigh. And he let his arms drop to his side. Casting Zacharias one glance that really did speak of the mix of confusion, frustration (and anger, although he wouldn't really admit that right away), and pity, he wordlessly turned away. He couldn't even say whether he would prefer to have Michael and Jasper to have at Zacharias at this point. He just had enough of that for now.

What he needed to do was to see whether Justin was alright. He remembered seeing Dean follow him, but still wanted to ensure that he was alright.
