"It's the little things like that that remind us how lost we would be without magic." Amelia nodded. "But of course, please don't let me keep you. I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening whether you choose to stay a little longer or head home." She offered a small smile before turning back to the bar and to her glass of wine, leaving the other witch free to leave.

END.

"I guess I'm lucky to be a witch, otherwise those vases would've cost me a fortune." Even though it still did, because Ela liked the reaction of Oliver destroying another vase too much. The joy over it warmed her heart.

"If you can find him, then be my guest. I will happily tell him that," Ela chuckled softly before motioning in the direction of the exit. "I do not want to be rude, but would you excuse me. All this talking about Oliver, makes me really want to get out of here, if I'm honest."

"Oh gosh, I'm certain I would have already had a heart attack just watching them if I had a three year old whizzing around on a broom. Your poor vases." Amelia chuckled, shaking her head.

"You know I ought to find them just so you can tell them that, Edgar especially would love that." She grinned. "It's nice to hear that it's not just me that would rather stay at home."

"He is. Especially when he decides once more - and he does that often - he is already a professional Quidditch player. Quite some vases have met their demise." Ela had learned by now to place any vulnerable and breakable things at a higher place. He wasn't able to reach that high yet, luckily enough. Once that moment would come, he would be banned to a practise spot outside as well.

"You know, I would declare your brothers wrong. I completely agree with you. Especially after becoming a mom... I just like the comfort of my own place the most. Together with my sister of with my best friend."

"Three? I imagine he must be quite the handful." Amelia offered a small nod. She wasn't the type to pry in to other people's business, so it wasn't for her to ask the other witch about the incident she was referring to. "I see. Well I am sure that you have friends or people here who are glad you decided to come, despite it feeling strange."

Amelia smiled. "Don't get me wrong, a quiet pub corner with a friend or two can be nice, but nothing beats a glass of wine and the comfort of your own sofa. If you asked my brothers I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you just how boring my idea of fun is."

"It is rather hard, yes. He's turned three earlier this year. But after something happened last year, I haven't been out for a night anymore, so it just feels a little strange." And more oversharing was done. Ela didn't think she had drank that much alcohol yet to start doing that.

The brunette could not agree more when Amelia said that this wasn't her idea of fun. "You found a like-minded over here. I prefer a quiet night in. What's your idea of a fun night?"

Amelia couldn't say that she knew the other witch very well, but that didn't stop her from offering a small smile. "I can't say that I know how that feels but I can imagine that it must be tough to be away from your child. How old are they?" She asked, hoping to put the other witch at ease. Apparently there were plenty people in attendance who like Amelia, would much rather be elsewhere.

"Oh, I'm enjoying myself as well as can be expected. This isn't exactly my idea of fun evening." She explained, indicating to the crowd around them.

The Ministry had been a common place to visit. Sometimes during her lunch break, whenever she knew that Patrick had been free as well, Ela would've made her way over to the Ministry as well so they could have lunch together. She hadn't been at the Ministry anymore since the raid had gone wrong and well... To see it again, ripped open a lot of wounds that had only just closed again.

The woman was pulled from her thoughts when a voice suddenly sounded. Her gaze moved to Amelia and she shrugged. "I'm not sure how to enjoy a party anymore, I guess. First time after becoming a mother so I think my head is elsewhere. Are you enjoying yourself?" Oversharing much, Ela?
