WHO: Everyone invited to the party.
WHAT: A party in order to celebrate Alicia's Auror training!
WHEN: Saturday night, 8 PM onward.
WHERE: The girl's house.
RATING: TBD.

Alicia wasn't actually sure if she was looking forward to the party. A week ago the idea had been her giddy, and slightly giggly, but not all she could think about was Adrian bloody Pucey and no amount of distraction had helped her. Ryan had been dropped off with her mother, spending the night thank the lord, and she'd been allowed to help get the house and herself ready in peace.

Nibbles and snacks had been put out - Alicia had generally helped with some pouring out of crisps and not actually eating them all - as well as some booze and soft drinks. About half an hour before Alicia had gone to get ready, changing into a dress (2 in a week? what was going on?) and procrastinating a little. She couldn't help but wonder if Adrian would come, perhaps that was why she'd actually made an effort with the dress.

Finally she tottered downstairs, grinning as she picked up a bottle of beer and walked straight through Ned who had ventured out into the living room. "Surely you're not wearing that? It hardly covers your knees!" While she usually ignored him she couldn't help but tugging lightly at her dress selfconciously, it brushed her knees, what more did he want? Maybe she should change.

"It's kind of weird being in and Ry not being around..." she told Angie and Katie lightly, frowning a little. It had been a while since she'd been in the house without him and it felt odd.

NOTE: Ned is the girls ghost, he's uptight and will be horrified at it all. Think Percy but dead.

It had taken an hour for Anthony to convince his mum that he'd be fine, that there would be enough people there, with enough training, to make sure everyone was alright. And even then, his Da had to step in and remind her that they had to let him grow up.

A quick shower, change of clothes and Floo trip later, Anthony was standing in the girls' apartment. He put the crisps on the table (something his mum had insisted he bring) before getting a drink and looking around. Watching the others talk, dance and just move around, he felt himself relaxing more than he had since the middle of the last school year.

Fred came in about half an hour after George, being left to himself to lock up and finish the restocking. He zeroed in on the snacks table first, and on his way to it smacked his brother one hard on the back of the head for good measure, then went and grabbed a drink and a handful of crisps.

He didn't realize when he said, "No naked birds yet?" just how close he was standing to Goldstein. But when he did, he turned to him as if the question had been meant for him all along.

Anthony raised an eyebrow at Fred's question, not sure at first if it had been directed at him or was just a general question. When Fred turned to him, he glanced around a little as if to confirm that no one had lost their clothes yet. "The night's still early, but that means you didn't miss anything either. From what I've heard, there's a house ghost here who might have a fit if it happens, so I'm betting on someone losing clothes before the night's over."

He took a sip of his drink and raised his glass a little in salute, "How's things going Fred?"
