Drystan! And whoever else wants to party I suppose? >>
All he wanted to bloody do was apologize to Odette. Or at least call himself an asshole and have things be somewhat forgotten. Noah would refuse to take back any of his words, but he would admit that he'd been more of a dick than he should've been to his---girlfriend, he supposed, they weren't very good with words, he'd come to find. All he wanted to do was let her know that he was sorry for being a jerk, and he'd leave the stupid party because he'd just end up sitting at the bar by himself anyway, and he'd just go, but of course he ran into West Sumpter's giant fist first.

God damn did he have a left hook.

Noah had thought he'd been lucky, managing to find a security guard that didn't seem to notice the big red line through his name on the guest list; he'd talked to him at a few previous events and was glad he'd struck up conversation. It was about thirty seconds into the party that West socked him, so he was currently stumbling through the party goers with a busted up lip and a too heavy jacket because it was raining outside. Oh! Oh, and he was soaked, if you didn't get that party about the rain.

Looked like a raving lunatic, he did, and Noah slammed into a giant wall of person, groaning as he realized who it was, "Oh, for fuck's sake!"

Why was he even trying? Noah just felt his chest clench harder and harder with each second, and he was sure the insides of his cheeks were going to bleed by how hard he was biting down on them. Why couldn't he just stalk away and ignore it like he did everything else? He'd tried so damn hard since he'd realized that Odette was bloody attached to Drystan's hip, but his patience had run thin from its already delicate state.

Noah opened his mouth to say something, but decided to actually think of a second. Did he want to open up this new, old can of worms? He'd done a very good job of burying it, so far away that he hadn't thought about it in years, but one bloody mention of the guy and everything came back to him and---for fuck's sake.

He looked back up, chuckling lightly because this was unbelievable, "Astronomy tower...January of 1974. I've got to go."

Noah shook his head, pushing forward through the crowd. If Fawcett couldn't remember finding one of his best friends drenched in blood from an attempted suicide, well---good bloody luck to him.

Drystan's brow crinkled when he heard the date—he wasn't on a team in January of that year. He didn't even start training until much later that year. In fact, that was his seventh year.

Which meant that he went to school with Boot?

There was no way the man could have been a Hufflepuff. Not only did he not seem the type, but Drystan knew his Housemates. So who else could it have been?

Noah.

Of course, he didn't go to school with a Boot, he went to school with a Noah. Noah, the Ravenclaw, Noah, the boy a year his junior… Noah, the boy who tried to kill himself in the Astronomy Tower.

He'd changed. Of course, they both had—drastically. But Noah didn't really resemble the school boy Drystan remembered. He'd honestly never expected to see Noah again. Drystan only kept in touch with Odette after school, and even then, it had been sparingly up until they both started playing for the Magpies. He'd continued to owl throughout the summer, but once he was recruited and his training started full-swing, time got more and more away from him, and the friendship had drifted to the back of his mind, and, apparently, eventually out of it entirely. Part of him had wished to block the sight of discovering him in the Tower from his mind completely. But while the two of them had forged their own peculiar friendship, Drystan was unable to, or did not want to. Out of sight, out of mind, however…

Drystan was more surprised than shocked or guilty right now, which he knew full well he could not show to Noah. As it was, Drystan could see that his lack of recognition had shaken something in Noah's core, and why shouldn't it have? Drystan tried placing himself in Noah's position, and thought it was a difficult thing to imagine, he could begin to make sense of Noah's beating-around-the-bush approach, waiting to be recognized, perhaps.

"Ah," he groaned, bringing a hand to the back of his neck as he saw Noah approaching the crowd.

What the hell was he supposed to do, now?
