Astoria told her mother she was going out to meet Daphne, and though her mother would usually protest to her being alone with her older sister's influences, she was so thrilled that things finally seemed to be going her way, that she didn't put up a fight. So Astoria apparated to the Leaky and hurried inside to find her sister. Daphne had apparently gotten a head start on her, but had a bottle all to herself, so that meant that Astoria could catch up, and all she wanted right now was to forget the day.
"Save me some, yea?" she said as she sat down next to Daphne. "It's been a shit all of a day, I just want to get sloshed and never wake up." She couldn't stop thinking about Justin, how he must be so confused and frustrated. She knew how much Justin couldn't stand Zacharias, and she really liked Justin. She didn't want to hurt him.
