“Well would you look at that. Letting the girl’s out to play tonight, huh?” She pointed down at her dress.

“How do you make you hair look so pretty?” Camille asked Lily as poured herself some vodka with coke by the side of the other witch. “It’s so full and shiny.” 

“Oi Evans, ready to go catch some snoggers and rule breakers?” She said handing the girl a mug of her preferred drink

Mary never expected herself to be the type to throw a party over grades. School wasn’t exactly her first love, and whatever letters were written at the top of her work were a bore at best and a stressor at worst. But even she could admit the NEWTs were different if only for the fact that getting through them was reason for celebration alone. 

At this point now settling into their life post graduation, Mary would take any reason to throw a party anyway. Every opportunity she got, she would go on about how much she missed her friends, even if she hadn’t gone more than a few days yet without seeing them. Something about all the change that came with leaving school had her gripping onto anything and everything familiar. So all Lily had to say was “party” and regardless of the purpose Mary would have been agreeing to be over by seven to help set up. 

She showed up at 7:24, apologies at the ready and full bottle of whiskey already open. 

“Alright, you better not have done everything while you were waiting for me to show up. Because I meant it about helping,” she said as she threw her arms around Lily in a tight hug like it had been years since they had been together. 

“Who all is coming? All the usual suspects?”
