S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y
Date: 6 September 1997
Characters: Melinda Bobbin, Cho Chang, Janelle Dorny, Roger Davies, Adrian Pucey
Location: Melinda's cottage in Hogsmeade - #9 Mayfair
Status: Public!
Summary: Melinda's party to cheer people up!
Completion: Complete

Looking around her front room, Melinda hoped it would be big enough to fit people. She'd heard from a few people who were interested in coming, and that meant there were probably more who hadn't said anything who were planning on it, just for the free beer.

There were snacks on the table by the window, another table of drinks (which she really hoped would be replenished as people began showing up or it would be a truly pathetic party), and seating around the edge.

The wireless was on its stand, tuned to the WWN, which had promised an evening of dance music. Hopefully they meant popular and not Celestina Warbeck (Merlin hex her if it was a Warbeck night).

All in all, things looked perfect. Now, people just had to show up.

	Melinda smiled prettily. She wasn't very sure she liked Janelle as much as she had before. Roger certainly couldn't fall for such an obvious line, right? "I should go play hostess anyway," she said, looking from one to the other. "I'll talk with you both later." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Roger chuckled and shook his head. He was well aware of what Janelle was trying, but it turned out that he didn't particularly mind. Granted, he knew nothing at all about her, but she was pretty and interested, which no one else in that room seemed to be. So, play along he would. "I think that's very noble of you to look out for Mel's glassware, love," what was her name?

He flashed Mel a grin, "I'll see you later, try not to get too drunk, yeah?"

	"Oh, don't worry about me," Melinda said, forcing a smile. Without waiting for a response, she turned and headed off. There were loads of people here who actually wanted to spend time with her. She'd just find one of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am glad you think so," Janelle nodded her head and looked over Melinda. She had already turned around and was heading in the other direction. Janelle just shrugged her shoulders and turned her attention back to Roger. "Well let's go get me that drink," she said linking her arm with his and heading to wear she had left her chilled wine bottle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Roger raised a brow as he watched Melinda walk off in a huff. He wasn't sure what her problem was, but part of him was fairly certain that he really did not want or need to know. The other part of him was smiling down at the lovely lady on his arm, and nodding.

"I suppose that means just the two of us drinking now," Roger said as he glanced over at Janelle. "Tell me, you haven't had too many of those yet?"

	"Three is a crowd anyway," Janelle said as she looked back to see Melinda had really left, not that she was surprised. Roger seemed perfectly fine just being in her presence which wasn't bad. Janelle grinned as she looked back up to Roger. "Well that would lead me to number four, but that isn't my max." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good to know. Can't have you maxing out just as my evening is beginning," Roger said with a smile as he looked over at Janelle. Walking with Janelle, Roger was actually making fairly good progress toward the drinks table. "What was it you were having again?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No we can't have that," Janelle said fliratious tone. "I am having white wine." Janelle said looking up at him, "Unless you can suggest something better." Janelle ran the tips of her fingers over the palm of his hand. Flirting was one of Janelle favourite past times after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roger smiled as he looked down at Janelle, the way her fingers were tracing his hand. This was actually loads easier than he'd expected. He flashed her a smile as he shrugged his shoulders. "You know, I think a few things do come to mind, sweetheart, but we're nowhere near as drunk yet," he added with a wink as he reached out for the bottle of wine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Janelle couldn't help but smile at his comment. "Well then I think we should get on with that," she laughed a little and help out the wine glass. Sure she was making this easy for Roger but sometimes playing hard to get was just boring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Had Roger been able to read Janelle's mind, he would likely have agreed completely. He did find the chase a bit boring, and it seemed that more and more girls were starting to think that that's really what blokes liked. One would think they would have considered actually asking blokes. He chuckled as he poured Janelle her glass and then refilled his glass with some mix of drink or something. He took a sip, not bad. "Yea? Maybe we should take this somewhere... away from the drinks?"

	"Thank you," she said softly as she took a sip of her wine. Janelle lightly ran her tongue over her bottom lip. "Yes I think that might be a good idea." Janelle smiled at him as she took another sip. She ran her fingers along his hand still and was tempted to just drag him off somewhere. She took another sip of her wine.

	Roger smirked slightly as he watched Janelle run her tongue across her lower lip. Oh she was good. Nodding his head slightly away from the drinks, Roger motioned that she should follow him as he took a few steps away from where they were standing. It would hardly do to be blocking the drinks. He took a sip of his drink then, "Any ideas?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
