December 5, 1997 - Friday - Zacharias' B-Day celebration
Characters: All interested participants
Setting: Room of Requirement. Friday 12/05/97. 1900 (7:00pm) - 00:00 (12:00AM)
Rating: PG-13 at most.
Status: In progress


As dinner was coming to an end in the Great Hall the Room of Requirement was being spruced up for a party. The celebration of Zacharias Smith's birthday was the main event. The only problem was whether anyone would show up. There'd been a few people who'd expressed interest throughout the week whether it were for the birthday celebration or the free food was unimportant. All who inquired had been properly given the location and password.

Oh yes, the fact that Justin Finch-Fletchley had surpassed getting Head of House permission for this little get together it required a door man. Alright, so maybe the job was more or less made up on the spot when one Owen Cauldwell expressed great interest in helping out after all the roles on the "party committee" had been filled. In retrospect that was probably not such a good idea.

The ginger haired third year had taken his job as head of party security a bit more seriously than one might have thought. He'd concocted a password of "Smith went to Piccadilly Circus to shop for a new pink curling stone at Lillywhites," which Justin had properly offered to anyone who'd asked because it was just too amusing to shorten. Now, as the time of the party neared the younger year sat outside of the entrance to the Room of Requirement partaking in an intense game of Biting Jacks with his fellow security man, Angus Smalls, who's name didn't give his size much justice.

As party goers arrived the pair of third years nonchalantly demanded that each and every person present recite the password exactly without looking at any cheat notes!

"Hardly," Justin offered with a snort. "I assigned jobs to people and they did the rest." And that was the truth. Most of Justin's job was administrative - he told people what to do. They did it. And he took most of the credit. It was a corrupt system, but that's how it usually worked right? Yes.

He'd removed his wand and offered the tapestry a silent charm. A blue mist danced from the wand and snuck behind the wall decor. Soon there after, Justin looked to Emma and offered a nod for her to follow. He then disappeared behind the tapestry and unlocked the door hidden there with a key he had tucked in his trousers.

They entered a small walk in closet with a large trunk stationed in the middle. "What would you like?" he asked as he knelt down and bothered with a second key for the trunk. "We've got firewhisky, spiced Meade, some generic muggle beers, I think we had some cheap rum - but....it might be gone by now." The trunk creaked open and Justin looked back at Emma expectantly.

When he turned around Emma passed a scrutinizing eye over the room. The decorations were... extravagant, definitely. Emma wasn't sure how she felt about the music. It was too upbeat for something she would want others to know that she liked. Then again, Emma probably wouldn't make this much of an effort for anyone she knew.

What a Hufflepuff, she thought condescendingly.

She heard the creaking of a trunk and her eyes darted back to Justin. "Rum would be nice," she said thoughtfully. She had no problem with monopolizing what little might have been left with the bottle, and probably wouldn't have let it out of her grasp. She remembered that Justin hadn't offered her any of his drink and felt her mouth pinch subconsciously. "If you're out, though, some firewhiskey would suffice."

"Here," he offered handing her the near empty rum bottle. "How's about we just get you one for now and one later, hm?" He then proceeded to pour her a glass of firewhisky.

Justin figured it'd be in his best interest to give the girl enough booze to suffice for two requests so he wouldn't have to make another round in another half hour. Least he absently hoped the sixth year could hold her alcohol.

"Don't drink it too fast," he teased as handed her the glass and locked the trunk again. Standing he moved back towards the party. He properly held the door and tapestry open for Emma to follow.

Emma snatched the bottle from him first, unable to avoid the tightening around her mouth. She would really have to work on that. What if she started to get wrinkles early? She would have to check and see if Lisa offered any sort of wrinkle-preventing potion...

"Thanks," she said, managing to spread a smile. She realized as he poured her a glass that he was probably about to make his rounds. She managed to make a playful face as he teased her about drinking too quickly.

"Cheers," she raised the firewhiskey to Justin before taking a considerably large gulp. "Now I can see that you're trying to make your rounds, so I will sit back quietly and enjoy another cigarette while you do so." She winked.
