Where: a secluded Welsh campground
Rating: PG 13 at least, for shenanigans
Status: ongoing


Trellyn Woodland, in Wales, is pretty much your basic campsite -- lots of space, lots of trees, not a lot of people. Of the seven pitches available, Millicent and Tracey booked the most secluded, and carefully set up an anti-muggle barrier before the guests arrived, on the off chance any outsiders should be drawn to investigate their celebrations.

Who: Rosmerta and Marietta

What: Sassy bartending?

When: Tonight

Where: The Three Broomsticks

Rating: Low

Status: Ongoing

Business had been going well for Rosmerta since the project started, what with the influx of new residents and all of that. Most of them used to go to Hogwarts too, and made Rosmerta smile with the way they'd changed over the years- mostly, she thought, they turned out okay, coming in the pub in groups, always cheerful and rowdy, or flirty, or ready for gossip.

Most of them, anyway.

"Excuse me," she said, turning to one of the patrons who'd taken up a seat by the bar. "Can I get you another drink?"

Who: Theodore and Draco
What: Making amends
When: This evening
Where: London
Rating: ?
Status: Ongoing

Draco's mood, Theodore knew, hadn't abated any less, and nearly a week after he had revealed that Puddlemere United had informed him they weren't interested in Draco Malfoy, and a few days after Draco informed Theodore of his decision to accept the Head of House position from McGonagall, he took them both out.

It wasn't anywhere particularly fancy-- they still weren't in a position where either of them could live at the height of luxury-- but it was quiet, and tasteful, and most importantly, was known for their chocolate fondues. They had a quiet and private booth, hidden partially by curtains, and a sweet, filling meal. They weren't quite ready to head back just yet, after, so they took advantage of the warmer weather and walked through the streets of London, Theodore's hand in Draco's.

"We should go back there, sometime soon," Theodore said. "I liked it. Did you?"

Where: Hogwarts
Rating: Low
Status: On-going

It was a beautiful day for the final match of the year. Oliver tried not to think about how much his own life had changed during the past few months, but it was difficult to do so when he found himself already thinking about next year's Quidditch program at the school. Shaking himself out of it, he headed for the center of the pitch to get things started.

“Peaches… check. Apples… check. Lettuce… check.”

Demelza narrowed her eyes at the parchment in her hand as she checked things off with a pen. If there was one thing she hated it was buying things that she could have easily grown herself and in her opinion much better. Not that she was cocky or full of herself; it was just that if there was one thing in this world that she knew and could relate to it was plants… and Quidditch, but mostly plants.

Time for things outside Hogwarts had just been non-existent lately.

The Gryffindor grumbled to herself as she flicked her gaze around the store. “Leek… I need leek.” She rifled through her basket of goodies as she moved back towards the vegetable section, not watching where she was going. The tall blonde lifted her head just in time to run head-long into someone, dropping her basket and latching onto them to try and keep them both upright.

Still clinging to the person she cursed. “Bugger, I am so sorry. I’m exceptionally clumsy sometimes. Two left feet to be honest.”

Who: Draco and Theodore
What: A conversation
When: Backdated Sunday evening
Where: Draco and Theodore's flat
Rating: Low?
Status: In progress

In what had become something of habit, Draco and Theodore were lounging in their flat shortly after dinner, a finger of whiskey each as they mentally readied themselves for the week ahead. Though Theodore barely had any complaints with running Eye of Newt-- and Millicent was the best person to work with him-- it was hardly the life he expected back at Hogwarts. He'd been raised with the expectation of taking over the Nott estates, his father's various positions in company boards, and learning under him whilst they occasionally roasted a Muggleborn for fun and profit, the latter part an unfortunate hobby whose enjoyment Theodore failed to inherit, but nevertheless saw as a necessary evil. It was also what had blown the Nott's family name to pieces and lost them their fortune.

Likewise, he doubted that Draco had expected himself to return to Hogwarts and take Snape's position, working under McGonagall and overseeing the education of young people. Not with what Hogwarts was to Draco.

He fingered the edge of his glass thoughtfully, gaze on his husband. There was a tightness to the way he held himself, a restraint in his features that told Theodore his mind clouded with something other than the quiet of a Sunday evening.

"Alright?"

Who: Mal and Hannah
What: Post-show chocolate cake?
When: Monday evening
Where: London
Rating: low
Status: ongoing

After the show, Hannah waited until the cast took its last bow before she began leading Mal out of the theatre. The play had been lovely and it was nice to have a night away from Hogsmeade. Sometimes she felt she lived under a rock... or a sauce pan. Rocks had no place in the kitchen, after all. Perhaps it was a little weird to be hanging out with Mal since she saw him every other day of the week, but she was glad they were getting along so well.

Now out in the open air, Hannah let out a sigh of contentment. "Were you serious about that chocolate cake or should we call it a night? Or if you've somewhere else to be..." She trailed off, not really sure what Mal got up to on his own time.

Who: Roger and Merrill

What: Some news

When: Monday evening

Where: Roger and Merrill's flat

Rating: ?

Status: Ongoing

Merrill hadn't had the easiest of weeks, and Roger was worried sick. He was covering it up with a brave face, but he knew Merrill knew too. That evening, he had made a special trip to Inverness, young Violet in tow, to pick up Merrill's favorite flavor of ice cream while the roast baked in the oven and Merrill looked after it. Father and daughter returned just in time to meet an unfamiliar owl as it came in and deposited a thick, formal-looking envelope in Roger's hand.

"Looks like we've got mail," Roger said, juggling between Violet, the ice cream, and the envelope. "Mer, is the roast done yet?"

Rating: ?

--

As the playoffs slowly wound down to an end, Caleb had started to put more of his attention and time towards working on his goal of making it onto the Hydras. He was a little disappointed that his talks with Angelina's agency hadn't been finalised in either direction; not knowing if they saw potential in him or not was almost worse than them just flat out deciding not to take him on. He'd taken some time off from the shop in order to train, but he wasn't sure if losing a few days' income would be worth it in the long run if he ended up not making it onto the team and getting that salary.

All in all, Caleb was a teensy bit stressed, so he was happy that Tracey had been able to spend the night that evening. And she and Batman, who was much larger than he had been just a month ago, were getting along better, too.

"How's that book coming along?" he asked innocently, glancing over at her over the top of his own read: An Introduction to the Quidditch Industry.

Who: Len and Jack

Though it wasn't always that Jack and Len had dinner together, and though Len didn't always make food for the two of them, tonight she made a Cornish pasty and roasted vegetables for them both, with enough leftovers they could each take for lunch the next day. There was something on Len's mind that she'd been considering lately, though she'd worried about bringing it up so much that she never got around to doing so.

Tonight, though, would be different. Or at least, that was Len's plan.

Who: Dan and Stewart on holiday!

"Finally," Dan exhaled, dropping his duffel bag on the floor of their hotel room. The sun was bright and the air warm and smelling of the sea, a marked contrast from the dreary spring that Hogsmeade was going through right now. Though Stewart and Dan had talked about going weeks ago, they hadn't actually gotten around to the trip until Dan, plagued with playoff scouting meetings and team planning meetings and agent meetings, had finally said screw it and decided to block off the weekend for him and Stewart.

He turned to him now with a bright smile. They had literally, absolutely nothing on their schedule except the beach or the pool, whichever they preferred at a given time. There might be a few activities they could sign up to do but Dan was more than happy to do just nothing, too. "What do you think?"
