Charlie really did love throwing parties, but it seemed like the common theme was that these events were for his really, really good friends. He knew he'd been sort of a prat to Octavius this past year or so, so he really wanted to give his friend a good time. Charlie also wanted to get Octavius' mind off of his recent breakup, which...officially had become> a breakup about a week or so after...they actually broke up. He wasn't exactly sure how everything had gone down, but he knew that this was a Rose-Free-Zone.

"Happy Octaviusfest!" he shouted along with the crowd, taking a swig from his rather large beer glass. The Oktoberfest theme was a hit, there were goats and sheep and geese and horses in pens so that Gebhard could have a blast as well, and there were good people here. No room to make a big mess of things, and it should be a good night.

And he was drinking this time around, so that would make this night even better, he suspected.

Octavius look mystified. "Why shouldn't he be r—" He stopped himself and shook his head. "No, you know what, I don't want to know." How two of the people he was closest to in his life could be so at odds, he had never and would never understand. He liked both of them, and they both liked him; that really ought to have been reason enough to get along, in his opinion.

"Well, that's—" not brilliant (well, it wasn't, but), he'd already said that, "great! Really great, Nora. He sounds—you sound… very well suited to each other." Octavius didn't go to places like Egypt. Octavius stayed in Britain. If Octavius went to Egypt, he'd likely end up accidentally mummified or a cobra's snack. He was certain Nico didn't have any such problems. No, indeed, Nico would probably be breaking curses on Octavius's mummified body in ten or fifteen years.

The circumspect and decorum-abiding part of Octavius was thoroughly taken aback by all these vitriolic asides, and he could feel his cheeks colouring a little. Here he was, being perfectly rude for no good reason, when he should have been showing support for a friend starting new adventures. Fearing that his smile had been once more slipping, he pasted it back in place and tugged gently on one of the curls escaping her pins. "If you're happy, Peakes, then I'm happy for you."

She smiled regardless of the feeling that his words weren't very genuine. Nora knew that she wasn't the prettiest of girls or easiest to get along with, so she could--understand Octavius' shock at the fact that she was seeing someone. She hadn't had a serious boyfriend since Hogwarts, not that she was sure if she could even call Nico that, but she understood the--hesitation. She supposed she did, anyway.

Nora blamed her thoughts on the fact that it was Octavius she was talking to. As easy as it was to be his friend and to care for him in that manner, it was still very easy to feel like a schoolgirl, especially in a setting like this. Nora had a notoriously bad self-esteem when it came to dealing with anything but animals, so of course her mind flitted to the idea that Octavius was simply much nicer and kinder than his best friend, and was putting on a good face to disguise his shock.

Oh, bollocks, no, Octavius wouldn't fake anything with her. She was simply reading too much into things, and now Nora felt guilty for her thoughts. She pressed her lips together, knowing that they needed to get off the subject of her romantic life before things got far too awkward,

"There's probably a spare record player around!" she said, clapping her hands, "Let's go take a listen to the hits of '57, yeah?"
