Who: Everyone!
When: Friday July 8th
Where: South Beach, Miami
What: Cinna throws the first beach bash of the summer!
Rating: Xenu only knows.
School had been out barely a day before Cinna sent out a mass email inviting everyone ever to come hang out. She figured after Independence Day people would probably be sick of their families already, so proposed the weekend after that: a beach party on Friday and if anyone wanted to stay for the rest of the weekend they were more than welcome.
Friday couldn't come quickly enough. Part of the beach had been blocked off for them very early in the day, and Cinna's parents had very thoughtfully hired some entertainment-- a series of beach vans, one with ice creams and slushies, another with food, a third with a bar and an attendant paid to look the other way, and a little DJ booth on wheels.
The sky was endlessly blue, not a cloud in sight to spoil the day ahead, and the beach was clear and ready for the shenanigans to begin.

A few minutes later (after the rant had turned into why Facebook was a child pornographer's dream) she happened to look back over, and that's when she noticed that November wasn't cramping, she was bleeding.
Cinna's shriek cut through the entire beach, and she leapt to her feet, dragging Leland with her. Quidditch players were good at healing charms-- they had to be, just for the sheer amount of times their noses got broken during games. She was going to get sued and her mom was going to kill her.
November was just reaching to start dabbing her side with a towel when she heard Cinna shrieking and turned to see her pulling Leland along with her. "Oh god," she grimaced inwardly. "Cin it's okay," she said quietly feeling like a berated kid with a skinned knee. She held her hand up, covered in blood. Fuck that's not helping, she moved her hand back. "I just need a band-aid."
"See Cin, she's fine," Leland said seeing the small bite. There was a bit more blood than he expected and the girl was looking paler than usual but she insisted she was okay.
While the freak was staring off in the distance Leland begrudgingly got his wand out and tentatively poked at November's stomach. She winced away from him, getting pulled back into the moment. "Don't fucking poke it dude!" she grimaced.
"What?" he teased. "You can't deal with a tiny baby fish bite?" he poked it again.
November had been trying very hard the entire time not to freak out but Leland was just pushing her over the edge. "Fuck you! It was a fucking shark you stupid piece of shit quidditch playing pussy! I fucking transfigured the mean old bastard!"
"It was a fucking shark!" she pushed him hard, smearing blood from her hand on his shoulder on accident. "It was fucking huge and scary and had pointy fucking teeth! And you're just an inconsiderate little prick!"
Leland stumbled back at her push, he had not expected it from November. She was a tiny little thing, quiet and sweet; being yelled at her was the last thing he ever thought would happen. He stared at her, mouth hanging open. "I... I..."
"Shut your fucking face!" she snapped. "I'm bleeding like a sieve and I don't need shit from you! You're the last person I want touching me so just get this over with quick you lazy, self-absorbed, asshole," she glared at him for a minute before realizing what she had just said. Her cheeks flushed and she stepped back, trying to catch her breath.
"Alright, just... uh... yeah," he shook his head and with a more gentle touch he laid one hand on her stomach to the side of the bite and brandished his wand. First he syphoned the blood from around the open bite and second he used the vulnera sanentur spell, quietly humming the spell as he wove his wand over the bite. It was deeper than he had thought at first glance and he started to feel bad about teasing her for it.
She winced a little as he began healing her. Biting her bottom lip she closed her eyes, it stung like hell but at least she wasn't bleeding all over the place anymore. She clenched her fists at her sides to keep herself from swatting Leland away.
