[3 Broomsticks] Student Booze Up!

[Jac Shaw]

((Alright, alright, I'm here, the party can start now ))

The whispers that Jac had heard had sounded like a practical joke to her at first. But the more people that asked her about it or told her the more Jac began to suspect that the party of students in Hogsmeade was going to be a party back to the Stone Age bacchanalia that she would greatly enjoy. So, after she had gotten ready Jac made her steady way to Hogsmeade.

The pub was relatively fun by the time she arrived. Running a hand through her autumn coloured hair and looked around for students. Two faces jumped out at her at first: Girty, then Alex. Walking up behind Girty, Jac winked at Maxi before clapping her hands over Girty's eyes. "Guess who!" Jac said in a high pitched, sing song voice and smiled. There were other people there that she recognised and she smiled at them. She winked at Alex and giggled, but quickly stopped.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash laughed as he watched the interaction between Maxi and Laney. "Hey! Where's my hug!?" he said with a laugh to Laney.

[Girty Hubbles]

Girty almost chocked on her drink when Ashton called them all losers. She looked over the rim at the Ravenclaw and gave a small laugh. But before she could even get the words out Alex had said just what she had been thinking. With a wide grin Girty placed her glass on the table and sat down on Alex’s lap wrapping her left arm around his neck just to hold him a little closer to her. As she sat there holding onto her Ravenclaw people slowly started to appear, she knew them by face but would not be able to put names to them…and then everything went dark. Someone had put their hands over her eyes and Girty could not help but laugh as a very familiar voice asking ‘Guess who’

“Hum…” Girty pondered “You know what….I think it is The Archbishop of Canterbury “

Girty gave a chuckle and reached up pulling the hands away from her eyes and leaning backwards so she could see Jac. She did not know why she need conformation that it was her best mate but it did not matter, jumping off Alex’s lap she dashed around and threw her arms around Jac knowing it had been far to long since they had last seen each other.

“About time you got here Jac! Can I buy you a drink, cake?” Girty was feeling rather hyper for some reason…she was blaming Alex for this.

[Alex Doyle]

"I do," Alex laughed at Maxi, "All the time."

He watched the specticle between Maxi and a girl. It seemed rather odd to see Max so affectionate with a female, as far as he was aware, he was only like that with guys. Though saying that he didnt really know Maxi so he wouldnt know what he was like really. Feeling something on his knee, he turned his attention back around and smiled as Girty seemed to prefer to sit on him rather than an empty chair, of course he didnt mind. The sound of Jac's voice rang behind him as he looked around intime to see her wink at him, smiling he winked back. He had missed Jac, he hadnt seen her for a while either and the banter those two used to share gave him the laughies.

Girty jumped off him and ran to Jac, Alex stood up and went to stand on the other side of the small Ravenclaw girl next to Maxi. Laughing, he said, merely to anybody listening, "This should be one hell of a night."

[christianmartinez]

Cristian looked over to the few at the bar and smiled at them. He felt he needed to make himself known, for politeness, and so people weren't shouting 'Oi, you there' at him all night.
"By the way guys, I'm Cristian" he said nodding, then taking a sip of his beer.Cristian then turned to talked to Ash about Sunni.
"Do you reckon he'll come here?" he asked again over the noise of the filling bar.
Cristian felt that familiar draft on his back again which meant the door had just been opened, and he turned to see Laney and a few others walk through. He smiled at her, and saw her go over to who he knew as Maxi, so he left her alone, even if they hadn't seen each other in a few days.

[Jac Shaw]

When Girty said the Archbishop of Canterbury Jac laughed loudly because she knew Girty knew it was her. Girty pulled her hands off of her eyes and looked up at Girty. Jac grinned down at her, and the front of her face transformed into the bill of a duck and her tongue stuck out. It had been too long since she had seen Girty and had become more and more aware of it as the days had gone by. She had thought of seeking Girt out but then her own businesses had kept her from it. This was a sad thought for her but she was with Girty now and that was all that mattered.

Girty sprung of Alex's lap and jumped at her. Jac laughed loudly and wrapped her arms around her tightly. "Hi to you too!" Jac laughed, slackening her hold on Girty. She offered her a drink and Jac laughed, "you know me, Girt, never say no to a drink." The last time Jac and Girty were in a drinking situation together, her own brother had drunk so much that he was slurring his words like Jac had stunned his jaw again. That had been a fun night for Jac because Girty had been there with her, to share her indignation at their brothers choice in woman. Much time had past since then unfortunately.

Alex stood up and went to the other side of the table. Jac watched him closely for a moment before planting her fists on her hips and stuck out her hip. "And you Mister Doyle," Jac said, smiling, "aren't you even going to say hello? May I hug him, Girty dearest?"

[Alex Doyle]

Alex looked infront of him at the sound of a speaker, it was another Ravenclaw, the one he had seen somewhere before but couldnt place his finger on it. Damn Alex and his sive like memory, "Alright, Christian, Im Alex" He smiled at the Ravenclaw though quickly turned around at the sound of his name being said by Jac.

"Yeshum?" He laughed and walked over to her putting on hisIm-so-sweet-and-innocent look he often did. Though quickly replacing it with a smile since he knew Jac wouldnt fall for his face. Giving her a playful punch on her shoulder like he often did in jest, he grinned and did a little bow, "Hello Miss Biggerstall! I would have said hello before but you seemed," He looked at Girty and winked at her while blowing her a kiss, "Preoccupied being hugged by Miss Hubbles there."

"Like you need permission to hug me you big numpty," Though rather small compared to Alex, he gripped her shoulder and pulled her to him, wrapping his arms around his multi-coloured haired friend, sticking his tongue out at Girty he kept hold of Jac and said, "You 'aint having her now! Not now I've got her" And did a rather manical laugh, that turned into a real one since he found it amusing himself.

[Girty Hubbles]

“You can kiss him for all I care.” Girty laughed as she walked past Jac with a wide grin on her face. “He is nothing special to me.” She poked her tongue out at Alex and continued over towards the bar and ordered a round of drinks for them all (she knew that her and Alex still had most of their pervious drinks left but it would save them getting up again for a while)
As she reached the bar Girty found herself standing next a guy who just happened to introduce himself to them all as she got their. ‘Christian’ she made a mental note of this before leaning over the bar and getting the bar attendants attention.

After trying to remember how they all had their drinks and mucking around with the handfuls of change that Girty seemed to have in her jacket pockets she trotted over to the table where they had been sitting and slid the tray of drinks down upon in before handing out everyone’s drinks.

“Merlin I feel like a barmaid. All I need now is some chewing gum, a half arsed attitude and a tight fighting dress.”

She was happily laughing to herself when she noticed that Jac and Alex still had their arms around each other. Flipping the tray under her arms Girty did her ‘I am not impressed face’ untill a rather manic laugh escaped and then almost as if she had had a few drinks she ran over to the gang and wrapped her arms around both of them.

“GROUP HUG!!!”

[Alex Doyle]

"You'd be one gorgeous barmaid, baby girl"

Alex strained the words baby girl as he knew she hated being called that. However it was just in jest and he knew she would understand that. Alex smiled, as she stood there in her 'im not impressed' pose. Alex smirked and turned his head to Jac, with a mischievious grin, he licked the side of her face, just cause he could and he had the weirdest urge to do so, adding, "Yum, strawberries" Laughing he gave a shrug and stuck his tongue out.

"GROUP HUG!"

Girtys arms were around Alex and Jack, laughing her poked his head up and yelled, "Oi! Max, Ash, Reiko! You other lot!" Trying to grab their attention, "GROUP HUG!" He yelled with a laugh. Squeezing Girty and Jac and waiting to see if anybody else would join in the group hug. Getting to know knew people was always fun and you could be guarenteed a right laugh!

[Jac Shaw]

Another boy that Alex called Cristian was drawn to Jac's attention. She grinned at him but her attention was suddenly shifted back to Alex. He made a face and Jac stuck her tongue out at him. "Don't think your charm's gonna get you out of this," Jac chirped at him and laughed at how silly he looked trying to be all innocent. Just like she hadn't seen Girt in ages, she hadn't seen Alex either. She was beginning to see a patter and looked back and forth between the two.

Feeling a tap on her arm, Jac looked up at Alex. She always forgot how much taller he was then her but she never felt small around him. Jac quickly looked at Girty and nodded at Alex's remark of the two. Jac stretched her elbow up and put it on Girty's shoulder. "We do keep each other preoccupied," Jac said, putting her fist on her hip again. Alex winked and blew a kiss to Girty. Jac made a face as though she was going to gag and dropped her arms. Looking sternly from Girty then the Alex, said, "But you two have to keep the mushy stuff down."

Jac stared wide eyed at Girty as she said that she could kiss Alex for all she cared. Next thing Jac knew she was being pulled into a bear hug from Alex. Laughing into his chest, Jac struggled her head out. "Gonna need me to breath if you're planning on keeping me, mate," she chuckled, hugging him back. Jac was going to say something like "If Girty wants us to kiss, I'd be happy to oblige her" but Alex licked the side of her face. Jac's eyes squeezed shut and as she rubbed her face against Alex's chest all she could do was giggle loudly. Suddenly 'Group Hug!' was yelled out and Girty was on the other side of the small Gryffindor.

"Oy!" she chuckled, "I really do have a powerful need to breath!" Though she protested she hadn't been in a group hug in ages so was quite happy where she was, in the middle.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash laughed as he felt himself being pulled into the group hug. This was going to be a night to remember...

[Max Hennerdale]

Maxi was watching what was was going on around him, minding his own business at this moment in time and just listening to snippets of conversations. This, he had to agree with Alex, would be an amazing night. It was memories like these that Maxi wanted to take away with him, Yum, Strawberries

Strawberries, key word. Spinning around Maxi looked at Alex with his mouth hung open. "Strawberries? Where?" He asked rather excitedly, "I love strawberries and have been craving them for over a week!!" His head was flicking back and forth between Alex, Jac and Girty. Maxi really had been having a craving for strawberries and the craving was driving him bananas.

The word Group Hug echoed around the pub and Maxi grinned, jumping onto Alex's back he laughed, group hugs were his favourite things, so why not join in the hugging? Seeing Ash, Maxi grabbed his arm and pulled him into the hug, with one arm around Alex and the other around Ash, Maxi couldnt help but laugh.

"Come on you lot! HUUUG!"

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash laughed as Maxi squeezed him, "Max you are insane!" he said, squeezing Maxi even tighter.

[Alex Doyle]

"No Jac, you dont need breath!"

Alex laughed at his Gryffindor friend. Though as the banter wore on Lex's cheek bones began to hurt because of smiling, just as he was about to say something witty back to Jac about tasting the strawberries, Maxi cut in and Alex nearly collapsed laughing at what he said. Shaking with laughter, he could only assume Maxi thought there were actual strawberries!

"Maxi, you are a dope!" He laughed, "I licked Jac and said she tasted like strawberries!"

Feeling someone cling to his back, he realised it was Maxi as he saw he blonde hair fall down over his shoulder, laughing at this, the Gryffindor was a prat but Alex totally buzzed off him. When Maxi was in one of these crazy moods there was hardly anyone you would prefer to be around. Though Max let go and grabbed as into the hug, turning around, Alex took hold of Ash's sister and pulled her into it too. Everyone should be in on the hug!

[sunnidaiis]

Sunni walked over towards the door of the pub, his mind telling him a million and one reasons for himself not to show up at this, but then again here he was, pushing open the door to it and slowly walking in. His bad case of curiousity definitely killing the cat. But as soon as he looked around, he regretted coming, there standing oddly, was a group of people, all hugging each other in some group hug kinda thing. Personally, Sunni had never been one for hugging on to a complete stranger and only hugged his closest of friends and he did it rarely. He took a few cautious steps closer subconsiously, looking at the group of them stupidly, trying to figure out if he recognized anyone, though he truly doubted he would.
