(Hogshead) Drinking Games

[Quinn Locksley]

He had swallowed her words up just as fast as he had swallowed her. Quinn was revelling in this, even through the foggy have of her sozzled state of mind. She could taste the victory as soon as Dan asked where she wanted to go. She didn't want to stay here, that was for sure, so it was a little stroll to her room in the Three Broomsticks and her really victory would begin. As this thought came to her mind, Quinn grinned at Dan but then broke eye contact and looked to her drink. It was half drunk. Releasing him, Quinn picked up her cold glass and drained it. The strong drink hit her as soon as her head was thrown back but she stood up all the same.

She made a little bow to the table at large. "Gentlemen," she said to everyone, "it's been a pleasure -hick- drinking with you but now I've got some ... business of my own to attend to." She grinned around and her gaze came to land on Dan. She grabbed the front of Dan's shirt and pulled him to his feet. Looking at all the faces, Mole, who wasn't looking at anything he was so drunk, Alcis who smirked knowingly at her, Catt who she winked at and came to rest on Magnus. Quinn leant forward and kissed Magnus on the balding forehead and saw out of the corner of her eye Barbula scowl.

She came up again and smiled at the old man. "Thank you for everything, old man," she said slowly, "it's been a pleasure. I do not expect we shall meet again. Goodbye." Her sombre moment passed quickly as she burst into giggles. "Your loss, Barbula, should have moved earlier." She wasn't one for long good byes but if it tortured someone like it was now she was happy to drag it on a little longer. She was bored with it though and grabbed Dan by the waist. "Come on," she said and grinned at him like a child in a candy store who could have everything she wanted. "My place is just around the corner."

[Professor Daniel Hubbles]

When Quinn looked away from him back to his drink Dan felt like he had be snapped out of a dream and with a wide grin turned around to face the other men at the table, he seemed to have lost the ability to say anything, so instead Dan just kept the broad grin on his face as he thought about what he would soon be doing. It had been a long time since Dan had done this, gone out, got drunk and then had a one night stand and for some reason he could not remember why not.
Turning attention back to Quinn Dan stared at her with his mouth hanging slightly open as she said goodbye to the other gentleman at the table and just like before all Dan could do was grin, which he could tell that one particular was not amused that it was Dan who was being lead back to Quinn’s bed chamber.

And if this was to be a sign as to how Quinn was going to be treating him for the evening, drunken Dan liked it. As his shirt was pulled he shot up to his feet, but almost fell back down again due to the sheer dizziness of everything he had drunk. Luckily Quinn had a strong grip and kept him standing that was until she let go to kiss some old wizard on the head. As soon as she moved Dan fell back down onto a chair and held his head, the alcohol was really starting to kick in, he needed something to clam it all down but then the only thing he could see was another Fire Whisky.

Shrugging his shoulder he reached out took hold of the glass and empty the contents into his mouth before standing up again and wobbling his was over towards Quinn. However he was not standing there long before she wrapped her arm around his waist, so naturally Dan did the same.

“Three Broomsticks it is then!”

Dan shot her a small wink and took the lead and lead them out towards the door, picking up his coat and he went and draping it over Quinn’s shoulders. It may only be a short walk from one pub to the other but he did not want her getting cold, and as he pushed open the door of the pub the cold nights wind blew in upon them. The quicker they got to the Three Broomsticks the better.
