Starter for: Hestia Jones x Ela Wood ( @fcrox )

The sight of Hestia was both a pleasant one but also one that made her take a deep breath. Hestia was her best friend but she was also someone who embodied everything that Patrick had been as well. An Auror. The Order. The dangerous side of life in her opinion. But never the less, she was going over to her friend. She wrapped her arms around the other woman to quickly embrace her as a welcome. "How can we have missed each other at this party for so long? I didn't want to leave without having seen you first."

"I have never seen you put away work out of your own account, so guess why I am telling you," Ela pointed out to her friend. It had been a 'problem' at Hogwarts as well. She had been the one pulling Hestia out of their common room and have a walk around the lake at the school on a sunny day. She looked at the seating arrangement in the corner where Hestia was pointing at and tilted her head slightly to consider the offer. A deep sigh escaped her as she took her friend's hand. "Fine, one drink and a catch up, lead the way."

/ END.

Truth be told, Hestia had missed her friend. Of course, they still had their moments, but something felt different ever since the incident and the sad path that had to be taken afterward. All the happier she was to run into her like this. “Oh, please. When have you ever known me to stop with such things?” It was a truth that couldn’t be denied. If left to her own devices the brunette could turn into quite the workaholic, working hard without a second thought. It was as though time did not exist in those moments and thus it seemed to fly away without anyone stopping it. “If you truly wish to leave, I won’t hold you back. Perhaps you can last a little longer and catch up with me? Come, we can sit over there.” The witch pointed toward a seating arrangement off in the corner. A pleading look on her face she glanced back at her friend, hand reaching out in an offer to drag her along. - @ofxsorcery

Ela shook her head when her best friend mentioned paperwork. "You do know that sometimes it is okay to stop working for a bit right?" Okay, Hestia had done so but she still had been late to the party. She scrunched her nose for her moment and then shrugged. "I don't think you've missed much yet. I've been having a drink, met up with Alice and some others. And now ran into you. I'm close to actually wanting to leave, however."

The truth of the world they lived in was simple. It had been far from kind to Ela, so each time the two saw each other, Hestia became acutely aware of the reminder she posed. At times she felt bad, other times it made her want to be an auror all the more; to keep this from ever happening again to anyone else. “Possibly due to the fact that I arrived a little later than I should have.” The brunette returned the hug, glad to be here, and with her friend, despite everything. “Beyond that I may have been held up due to paperwork. That aside, I’m here now! We’ll more than make up for lost time.” A smile. “Tell me, what did I miss?” - @ofxsorcery
