It was rather early for Ed to be well into his second pint, but he told himself he'd earned it. Or at least had earned the dumb, blind rest that often followed drinking himself into a stupor. He was on thin ice with the Ministry - it had been nothing but paperwork for him lately, with the occasional stripping of a charmed kitchen appliance - and thinner ice with his other employer following the debacle with the failed retrieval at the Shrieking Shack.

His misfortune at least had given him a name, if not for his boss, than at least for some other underling who warranted an audience with the boss, and the privilege of tearing Eddie a new arsehole on his behalf: Daniil.

Though he was seated at the bar, his brooding coupled with the effects of the alcohol allowed Ed to register only one emotion when someone took the stool next to him: surprise.

	Honestly, Katie was just passing through the Leaky that evening, but when she noticed Eddie, she changed directions and moved to sit on the empty stool beside him. She drummed her fingers along the bar top and turned to smile at him when he looked up. "Hullo," she greeted rather cheerfully. She'd had a good practise that morning on the pitch, after all.

Ed quirked a brow, and his lips were quick to follow.

"Bell. How're your Silencing Charms?"

Though he said her name aloud, the rest he mouthed after a comfortable pause, his smirk not much changed from the one he'd flashed her during the study group they'd each participated in during fifth year in preparation for their O.W.L.s. Katie presumably had joined to study, but Eddie's intentions had been to distract pretty girls from doing just that.

	She gave him a look and shook her head. "We're not in school any longer, you know," Katie said. "You all right?" Though she smiled a little as she asked it, the corner of her mouth also quirked, frowning worriedly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Smile transitioning easily to a look of mock surprise, Eddie raised a hand to get Tom's attention without taking his eyes off of Katie's face. "We aren't? At least now I know why I haven't gotten my book list," he said, purposefully dodging her second question. "Want a drink?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
