The gang's all here - Night at the pub

[tt_lily]

Date: 18 April, 2002
Characters: Lily, Remus, James, Harry(?), Lisa (?), others
Setting: The World's End Pub
Content: Gen
Status: Open: Public

Lily checked her watch after James' last message and grabbed a quick shower before she headed over to the pub. As she got dressed in jeans and top, she thought about how this would be the first time all of them got together - her, James, Sirius, and Remus - since they all arrived. Not to mention throwing in Harry. What a time this would be.

Hurriedly, although she was still a few minutes early for the time she wanted to leave, she finished getting ready (deciding to leave her hair down) and left. Knowing it would take a bit longer than normal to get there, she arrived a full fifteen minutes early. Better to be fashionably early. At least that's what she told herself.

Remus arrived at the pub a few minutes before Lily had so he took the honors of finding them a large enough table (he ended up moving some together). He'd went ahead and ordered a couple pitchers of the local brew to start the night off with a bang.

Upon seeing his friend, he stood and gave her a hug. "You'll have to forgive me if I get rowdy tonight."

Lily rolled her eyes. "You're tame compared to James and Sirius. If Sirius makes it."

Hestia/Adrian/Open!

"Oh, I'm liking your mother the more I hear about her!" Hestia replied grinning at him. This definitely had been a good idea. It kept her thoughts from doing a downwards spiral and there had been enough of that last week.

"It's fine, don't worry about it," Hestia told Lisa. "I know you're slammed because we magical folk are idiotic prats who don't know what to do without it. Who then decide to go to the pub and become more of an idiotic prat after a few pints."

Hestia opened her bag and popped a crisp in her mouth before responding to Adrian. "I appreciate it, thank you." Taking a swig of her pint, she continued. "Round after that is on me."

"A woman who offers to buy a round, too?" Adrian widened his eyes in faux shock. "My goodness, my mother would love you completely. She'd probably try to marry you into the family immediately, and when I refused purely on professional and friendship grounds, she'd introduce you to my brother in law and my father."

Adrian took another drink of his local stout and grinned about the room. Ginny was still sitting with friends, they all seemed to be having a very good time, but it panged less. He found himself having fun with Hestia, a potential friend, and unlike when he befriended Ginny, a real friend in this new world that he wasn't nearly falling for. It was a nice, new sensation.

Hestia couldn't help herself. She started laughing at him. "Adrian, I like you and all, but I think the guy I'm seeing may have an issue or two with that. Being introduced to your family would be a very nice honor though," she stated still chuckling. "Thank you for being a chivalrous gentleman. I'll tell your mother that she and your father raised up a good man."

"Other than the lack of magic, how have you been doing?" She asked and took a long drink from her glass and popped another crisp in her mouth. "Feel free to take one if you want one," she gestured to the bag.

"Oh, he and I both, no offense," Adrian laughed along with her, in the back of his mind thinking of the witch that got away.

"I'm pretty sure that, though, would be the highest compliment you could give my parents. And my older sister, who takes credit."

"Doing alright, I've offered to help Lisa start a public vegetable garden here," he indicated just outside the front door with a free hand, "we're going to put it just beside the patio, you know?" He smiled and took one of her chips, popping it into his mouth with a grin.

"I'm glad that we got that all straightened out," Hestia said with a smirk. "He'd win in a duel if it came to that." She absentmindedly scratched the tip of her nose and placed her hand back down on the bar. "You do realize that this means that you have to introduce me to them; the sooner being the better, yes?"

"A public garden? Like one that the public can come pick vegetables from for their own use or just for the public to admire and Lisa can use them in the food here?"
