Meghan was in an amazingly brilliant mood tonight. Today's match had gone so well. They'd beaten to Tornadoes 170-30 and she was in absolutely high spirits about it. A celebration was called for.

To top it off, she was going to have some rather brilliant company as well. Meghan couldn't help thinking it had been too long since she had seen and caught up with certain people and tonight was a grand night for that - catching up, having a few drinks, generally having a good time.

She arrived at the place she and Heath had agreed upon, scanning the crowd for him. Maybe some other people would happen along, too. As far as Meghan was concerned, the more, the merrier.

"Hello, stranger," she grinned at him when she finally spotted him and got close enough to be heard.

They'd decided on a muggle pub because Heath didn't really want to be attacked by fans while he was having a celebratory drinking night with Meghan. They might move the party later, but by then Heath was fairly sure he'd be too far into his cups to really notice.

"Hey, my champion!" Heath laughed, getting up from his stool at the bar and hugging her. "Tried to drag your brother along with us to this, but I think he had a date."

"Heeeeey," she grinned a little more broadly as he pulled her into the hug, though her eyes widened at what he said next. "My brother has a date? That's more important than celebrating with us?" She wasn't sure whether to laugh or demand to know who it was.

Sadly, she couldn't drive Kirley mad with flirting with Heath if he wasn't there. Though if Oliver showed up as she almost hoped he would, maybe that would be for the best.

	"Or it might have been that he's just a sad old man and it was after his curfew," Heath laughed, squeezing her and picking her up off her feet in it for a second, then sitting her down. He sat back on his stool, then, waving her to the one next to his. "What are you drinking, love? My treat tonight." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That made Meghan laugh and she shook her head, squealing a little then as he lifted her from her feet. She'd missed him. Driving Kirley mad aside, Heath was one of her favorite people and it had been entirely too long.

"Surprise me with something!" she decided. She wasn't being indecisive, not really. Meghan thought it was fun to let others pick a drink for her. You never knew what you were going to get that way and she liked the surprise.

	"Surprise you,eh?" Heath thought for a second, and then when the waiter came back he leaned over the bar, whispering his order into the bloke's ear so that Meghan didn't hear. What came back to her a few minutes later was purple, fruity, and almost guaranteed to shake the willpower of a lesser drinker. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That drink was definitely good and alcoholic and Meghan grinned after taking a sip. It was strong, definitely something that would have her feeling much more relaxed once she'd drank a little more. She approved.

"Trying to get me drunk so you can have your way with me?" she teased. She knew better, of course, and there was no real need to keep up their usual ruse without Kirley here to be driven crazy by it, but she couldn't help herself.

Although he was usually antsy about these sorts of situations, it usually went that once Orsino put his mind to leaving his flat and joining some friends at a pub, things went quite well after all. Besides, it was a Muggle place, and Meghan and Heath (and whoever else might deign to show up) were basically family. That, and he was beginning to think all of his recent shopping sprees were partially the result of failing to do enough of this sort of thing.

When he arrived he scanned the patrons until he spotted Meghan by the bar, easily picking out her recognizable hair. Heath was next to her, and they both seemed to have already started the party - though he couldn't tell if anyone else was here yet. Drawing up to the pair, he greeted Meghan with a poke in the ribs and nodded at Heath.

"This looks exciting," he said wryly, trying to decide what to order.

"Of course it's exciting! We're here!"

Meghan was in high spirits, still running on excitement from the match and having gotten some drink into her as well. She'd been chatting with Heath, also, which was enough to make her grin a little more. Playing catch up was nice.

She hadn't known that Orsino would be making an appearance, actually, and she grinned a little brighter. All the boys in the band were like family to do and she was absolutely tickled to see him. Threats about not hurting Penny aside, she adored him just as she did the others and this was definitely a case where the more, the merrier applied.

Smirking at Meghan, Orsino turned his attention to the barkeep long enough to order a scotch before looking back to his friends. He supposed they must not have been here long, as he couldn't really imagine Meghan not scrounging up a small crowd to celebrate a win. She seemed happy, and he realized it'd been a while since he'd seen her face to face, and that he'd rather missed her - she was always fun.

"Kirley not here?" he observed with some surprise, addressing either Meghan or Heath. His drink arrived and he swilled some around in his mouth a bit. "I have to say, I'm surprised this isn't a bit more lively yet. I hope you two aren't losing your touch."

	"We think he's too old to come out anymore," Heath answered Orsino's question, shrugging and tipping back what was left of his sixth or seventh beer. "We'll have to get special stages, soon. So his walker can get up them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Heath said he had a date," Meghan supplied her own explanation, but then she shrugged. "I think that sounds a lot more plausible. He's getting to be an old man."

She made a face, though, when Orsino suggested they might be losing their touch. "There'll be more," she grinned. "Penny's coming. Oliver, too, I think. Oh and Roger. I'm going to buy him a drink to make up for my team massacring his."

It was safe to say she was a little on the intoxicated side at this point, but that had been entirely the point of going out to celebrate, hadn't it.

Orsino nodded slowly at the explanation for Kirley's absence, and supposed it would have to do. It wasn't as though this little gathering had been planned very far in advance, after all.

As Meghan rattled off a few more names, he leaned back in his chair and tapped at the side of his glass absently. The first two names he knew, of course (although he still hadn't actually met Oliver. And he had no idea who Roger was, but supposed he would be finding out. Probably a Quidditch person.

"Oh well in that case, maybe there's still hope. I'd hate to just be getting drunk with the two of you. That's happened far too often, there's no novelty." The scotch was very good, and he was already planning on getting another once he worked through the first.

Shifting slightly, Penny brushed her way through the crowds towards the bar. She'd never been in this pub but it was more familiar to her than the Broomsticks or the Leaky. She spotted Meghans familiar head of hair and grinned as she made her way over towards her.

Her bag was heavy with the weight of one of those encyclopaedias - she couldn't be expected to leave all of them at home - and she shuffled her feet nervously as she realised that Orsino and a Someone Else was there. He looked familiar enough for her brain to recall him as Heath - one of the Weird Sisters. And chief flirt with Meghan.

She knew she should have taken five minutes to change her trainers for something more pragmatic.

"Hey," she said by way of greeting as she grinned at her best friend "Aren't you the famous, hot and stupendously talented Meghan McCormack?"

"I am!" An obviously intoxicated Meghan jumped up to throw a happy arm around her best mate, her grin widening as she finally showed up. "Aren't you you the amazingly fun and quirky Penelope Clearwater?"

Alright, so her greeting wasn't nearly as brilliant, but she was drunk and she was still happy to see the girl. Happy enough that it took several moments to remember to introduce Heath to her friend.

"Oh, this is Heath.. Heath, Penny. I think you know Orsino, don't you Pen?" There was a cheekiness to her grin, because she knew very well just how well the two of them had gotten to know one another.
