Truthfully, Marlene hadnât forgiven James yet after everything that had happened at Remus and Maryâs party. While granted, she should have and for most of her friends she might have, but her and James had a painfully complicated history which didnât make situations like this any easier. Especially when he played with her trust so carelessly; something that was hard to come by from McKinnons and even more so harder to gain back after broken.Â
Granted, sure, sheâd play the pleasantries for the benefit of the friendship group; but that didnât mean she had to willingly. Or for a matter, at all when it was just the pair of them. So really, when she caught an eye of James moving towards the drinks table she was standing beside, Marlene couldnât help the automatic roll of her eyes at his presence. âI definitely havenât had enough alcohol for this conversation.â The witch muttered with light tension in her jaw before downing a shot of fire whiskey, much to the apparent displeasure of an elderly pureblood couple watching her. To which, she raised another shot with a delicate faked smile, cheers them, before knocking it back with a scrunch of her nose.Â
Tossing her hair over her shoulder and brushing the sequins adorning her golden dress, the witch set herself a task of pouring herself and Mary drinks so she didnât have to pull her eyes up to the other. âWhat do you want Potter? Not got anyone else to bother right now?â Marlene spoke, words blunt, her features tight. âThere is another drinks table over there- go use it.â
