“Okay, not to sound cynical but do you think marriage actually can work? Like we live for so long and I don’t see the point in settling down with just one person for the rest of your life... Like... what if you get bored?”

Scorpius smoothed down his hair, it wasn’t as perfect as he liked but he did just come straight from the airport--his things hastily dropped in his hotel before tidying up and coming straight to the wedding. He held a flute of champagne in his hand as he bit down on his bottom lip, wondering if anyone would miss the center piece of the table. He blinked when someone stepped close to him, “I’m absolutely paying attention and not doing anything suspicious...” he quipped with a smile. 

Alastor tapped his finger against his chin as he looked at the other, “Let me guess...hm, nope. I can’t figure it out. What are you even supposed to be?”

“Unless you’ve started a war with another country, please get out of my office.” She said, not even bothering to look up from her paperwork. Olivia had wanted this position because it was supposed to be pretty high up but with little-to-no work. Apparently the last person in the position just didn’t do their job because she had stacks of papers on her desk constantly. 

♕ ---- “If my work asks, I’m super terribly sick,” Rose chuckled as she placed a medium sized snow ball on top of the larger one that she just made. “It’s too cold to even think about work right now.”

“If I win, you have to eat an entire bag of candy corn, and if you win...” she trailed off, her brow furrowed in thought. “I dunno, what do you want?”

Nikolai clasped his hands together excitedly, “I saw a drink with a skeleton as a straw, we need to find that booth.”

♕ ---- Carefully, she set the boxes of candy down on the table in front of her. “Please take these off my hands. I can’t keep eating these and keep up with my training schedule,” she said with a chuckle. “I may have gone overboard on the after valentine’s day sales but the prices were a steal for French chocolate. I couldn’t resist.”
