SURPRISE HISTORY PARTY THREAD!
How had he let Derek convince him that this was a good idea?

Vinny stared aimlessly across the literal sea of people and crowds covering the vast land of his backyard. Sure, sure, he had a ton of land because he lived on a farm, but that didn't mean throwing an End of School Year bash was a brilliant idea! Just because his parents were going to be out of town for the next week, did not mean he should take advantage of it! Oh, hell, at least they weren't getting in the house (where he'd all but locked Davy inside of).

It was a pretty good party so far, though. There was a barbecue, girls in bikinis, torch lights lining the pool area, a volleyball net, girls in bikinis, lots of loud music, girls in bikinis...

"HEY there is no need to be littering!" Vinny said with a loud huff, using his wand to send the paper cup shooting back into the perpertrator's face. Merlin, oh Merlin. Derek better stay over tonight to help him clean up, tomorrow. There was no way he'd be able to clean this mess up all by himself. As much fun as he was planning to have, he still needed to be somewhat in control of this bash!

"Who the hell invited the sixth years!" he shouted, eying a couple of students who were definitely not part of the Hogwarts class of 1977.

For fuck's sake, if he was named Head Boy this year it was going to be hell.

[OOC:] :) Random 2:30 in the morning idea! My last weekend as a free woman!! This thread is open to 77ers and 78ers (or at least, those cool enough to hear about the party and crash it ;D) This means ALL characters alive at that point can post and have fun! Try to keep with whatever canon we've decided in-game, of course XD

and to clear it up: it's like the first weekend after school ends, June of 1976. 77ers just finished their sixth year, 78ers just finished their fifth (ooh OWLs!) This thread is set BEFORE the start of Valesco wtf XDD

Sebastian grinned, planting his hands on his hips as he was still a bit out of breath. Damn, if he'd realized Mackenzie would be here (for some reason, he hadn't been able to imagine her at a party like this), he definitely would've tried to look nicer than the mess he was now! Especially with her looking all...pretty. So pretty.

"You look great!" he said, putting a hand out and nearly gesturing at her entire outfit. Sebastian gulped, hoping his tone was was that of a friendly...friend, person. Which he definitely was, to Mackenzie! She was one of his best friends, actually! So of course he would speak with a friendly tone with her! Why would you think he'd have any sort of silent, buried deep, but-not-so-deep feelings other than friendship for the girl?

His roommates said he looked like he'd just bathed in a cauldron of amortentia after his rounds with Mackenzie, it was so painfully obvious that he fancied her beyond any sense of the word.

"So--" he nearly squeaked, feeling his face blush as he realized this was the most relaxed atmosphere he'd ever been in with Mackenzie, "What are--do you have any plans for the summer?"

"Thank you," she smiled, bowing her head toward him slightly. Mackenzie brought her eyes back up to his quickly, still feeling very warm. In a pleasant, but bothered way, if that was possible. Her fingers knotted within each other, effectively fighting off the urge to nervously play with her necklace.

Sebastian thought she looked great. Not alright, or good, or doing well, but great! The fact that people said phrases like that to each other all the time didn't fully sink in until a few seconds later, and Mackenzie scolded herself for jumping to conclusions so quickly. She really needed to control herself. How would people see her as eloquent and sophisticated when she just let her mind go off on the tiniest of things! Control and poise, if anything she hoped she could exemplify it now, at the most important of times!

Important because it was important that Sebastian didn't think of her as this floozy girl that showed up to parties to do inappropriate things! She valued his opinion! As... a... friend.

Oh, she was horrible at convincing herself that these feelings she felt about him were just purely due to intrigue because he was a Gryffindor and muggleborn, and not anything else. Taking a deep breath, Mackenzie sought to respond.

"Oh, no, but I am sure my mother does. She always plans things without telling me," Mackenzie waved her hand in a passing way, not wanting to make a big deal about it. By now, both Christopher and her had gotten use to this fact. There was just no hope controlling Lisette Loftus sometimes. "What about you?"

Sebastian nodded enthusiastically. He couldn't imagine what the life of a high society pureblood witch like Mackenzie could be like. It had to be bloody brilliant! Parties all the time, getting dressed up like you were the King of England or something like that, having people wait on you all the time...or, he supposed it was a house-elf, in the wizarding world. Sebastian hadn't experienced much of his new world outside of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade (his trips to Diagon were always quick) so his vivid imagination created the the scenes for him.

"I'm probably doing a lot of housework, my brother's moving out and my parents are turning his room into a study...oy, well," he blurted, not thinking too much about the words about to spill from his mouth. When did he ever think before he spoke? "If your mum leaves you some free time, and I don't die from dirt inhalation, we should definitely hang out!"

His smile softened as Sebastian found himself a bit glad that he didn't think before he put out the invitation. If he had thought about it, he would have chickened out for sure, because he basically just invited Mackenzie out, on a date. Well...unless she assumed they'd be with other people, like they usually were, outside of prefect rounds. What if they met somewhere, and she brought that wench, Matilda?

"We could get ice cream, or--I could take you to the cinema! Have you ever been?" he said, to ensure to her what his heart had really been asking for. "It's really a fun time, we could get dinner and stuff before it, if you like.."

Of course her mind automatically went to thinking Sebastian meant a "date." Was this a date? Was he asking her out? Mackenzie wouldn't know, or have anything to reference from, she had never been on a proper one before, with such little experience and a strange dating history. The "dates" she went on with Orpheus included never leaving the castle, and with Rabastan... that just didn't count. So! She was going to take it as one for now! At least until she was able to refer to Matilda for confirmation!

Oh. Or maybe not Matilda. Mackenzie's stomach sank a little at the thought of not being able to tell her best friend this news... or anyone really, for that matter. The effect would definitely be lost, not to mention create some other undesirable reactions.

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. Mackenzie looked at Sebastian as she thought. Her parents would definitely not approve, which meant that she would have to lie to them, as well as all her friends (though that would be easier, seeing as it was the summer and they didn't seen each other every day), and Christopher was always prying... But the more Mackenzie looked at Sebastian, the more she knew she really wanted to go on this date with him.

Like, perhaps had been dreaming about this moment for a while now. And besides, it was only one date, what harm could it do?

"I would love to," Mackenzie responded, her hands breaking from each other to show her excitement. "I've never been to the cinema." Or know what it was, for that matter. "And I love ice cream!" She would for him, anyway.
