Who: Any and all HP reincarnates (apart from Spencer – BITCH, YOU'RE NOT INVITED 8| )! What: A little getting-to-know-you pub crawl between witches and wizards~ When: Forward-dated to Friday night, January 20th, 2012 Where: Emmet's Irish Pub in Boston Warnings: Uhhh. Magic and drunkenness? >> Note: Scott mentioned this idea in Gillian's post on Sunday – because I'm lazy (and because that part of the thread happened yesterday), let's just assume that the invitations were spread through word-of-mouth throughout the week? Okay? Okay!
Truth be told, Scott was a little nervous about tonight – nervous, but the excited kind of nervous. He'd spoken with most of Harry's old friends on the boards already, but the prospect of meeting them all in person? Nothing could have made Harry happier. It was like... coming home, almost. Considering Scott had been avoiding his own home for close to ten years now, that feeling was both unfamiliar, yet entirely welcome. In the few minutes it took for everybody to arrive, Scott understood Harry a lot better than he had since his reincarnate's arrival. These people were his family, plain and simple, and Harry needed them back in his life. Maybe Scott did, too.
... They were also complete strangers, but that was just a minor detail, right? And that was also what the booze was for. Already halfway into his first beer by the time people started arriving, a permanent grin plastered on his face, Scott skipped right past the awkward introduction stage and welcomed everyone with open arms, like they were old friends he'd known all his life and just lost touch with. Which was... sort of true. The lines were definitely blurred now, but that was okay, too. It was easier not to think about it too hard, which was easier to do with a couple beers in you.
"Speaking of which," Scott muttered to himself, turning to the bartender and sliding a bill across the mahogany, whispering a few words under his breath and winking. The bartender smiled, nodded, and got to work. "Hey, guys!" he said over the noise. "Next round's on me!"
