Cassie finally spotted him - by the bar, no less - and walked over to him. She walked up behind him, placing her hand on his glass to stop him from taking another drink, leaning up to whisper in his ear. “I told you I was cutting you off after four, Potter.” She kissed his cheek, “But you look good, so I’ll let it slide.”

“I wouldn’t drink that if I were you,” he slid onto the bar stool beside him. “Unless you’re trying to see how drunk you can get before 9 p.m.”

“Connor, let me out, I swear to god.” Laurel wasn’t usually like this, she wasn’t usually angry but seeing death eaters, made her reckless, made her want revenge for her mother.

“Parkinson,” he called, raising an eyebrow when he caught up to her. “Forgetting something?” Reese looked at her for a second, before pulling her phone from his pocket and handing it to her. “That creep eyeing you back at the bar would have had a field day if he’d gotten his hands on it. You should be more careful.”

She smiled when she spotted her. “So, what happened to looking like a walking disco ball?” Emma smirked. 

Jackson handed Victor another drink, taking one for himself and leaned against the bar. “So, I’m assuming Parkinson still didn’t give you the list? He’s majorly fucking stalling, Vic. I don’t know why you’re wasting time with him.” He looked at him. “You know, I could just try and get to his sister if you’re that concerned about him. She is my ex. I did it before, it shouldn’t be a problem to do it again.”

“Okay, okay, so I may have had a bit too much to drink,” Dominique said. “I feel floaty. Is this normal?”

Dylan finally spotted Orion across the room, having left him just a few minutes ago. He narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw another man leaning against the bar, and a little too closely to his fiance, as he spoke. Dylan maneuvered his way through the crowd, clearing his throat as he stepped up behind him and slid an arm around him. He raised an eyebrow at the man, causing Orion to take his drink and walk away. “I leave you for ten minutes and you already have drunk men hitting on you?” He pulled Orion back against him slightly, reaching around to take another drink with the hand that wasn’t resting on his waist. “I knew that face of yours would cause problems.”
