The Daily Prophet never seemed to sleep and neither did the witch in question. An interview with wizard that had published a book, silly as the content may have been, followed by the picking up of specifically ordered items that had finally been delivered to their respective shops. Diagon Alley was packed, surprisingly full despite all circumstances. Apparently, the holidays could bring out people after all.

After all that the blonde had allowed herself a stint at the Leaky Cauldron, a perfect place to rest and pick up more things that others seemed to carelessly air out into the world. The number of articles written simply due to the idiocy of some people was astonishing. Of course, research. Rita’s thoughts were interrupted by a familiar face. No smirk, simply neutral features as she glanced upon the other. “Last minute present shopping? Doesn’t seem like you at all.��� Assumptions, or perhaps just teasing. Her voice never gave away either.

[fcrox]

Stubborn, anyone that knew Hestia better would use that word as a primary way to describe the witch in question. And for the most part it was true. There were simply some individuals she chose not to discuss with, or fight, or push back on. No matter the situation. Unless it was an emergency that would take hold. In which case the former Hufflepuff was willing to fight tooth and nail.

"Alright. If you insist. But only one drink. Can't have bleeding dry over drinks of any kind, can we?" Hestia wasn't going to push it. "To what do I owe the luck of that? Something happen?" - @gideonscprewett

"I'd rather you didn't. I don't think I've ever given you a reason to do so, but perhaps you know more than I do." He told his friend, chuckling. He'd always respected her opinion or view on certain matters, knowing how seriously she took her job. "You are and it's an admirable thing." Gideon said in a matter of fact tone, not trying to butter her up but simply sharing his opinion.

"Nonsense. You don't owe me a thing. I'm getting the next round."

Dorcas was in her glory. She was out with all her friends and tonight she wanted to celebrate her way. Which meant, a little bit of craziness, on her end. With two shots in hand, her eyes land on her next victim, sauntering her way over.

She placed a glass down in front of them, before moving to sit across from them. "You have to do a shot with me." A devious smirk on her lips, holding her glass up.

Arthur felt at ease in the cauldron. A bridge between the muggle and magical world a bit of the way he saw himself it was always full of interesting clientele and he enjoyed people watching as much as drinking. Enough for a bit of courage, ease of speaking but not to be drunk. To say the days of her brothers giving him a hard time were past might be too generous but he felt one of the family with them around, and it always paid to be on good terms with uncles who could be coopted into baby sitting by Molly if not him. He adjusted the pint across from him considered ordering another when he saw Gideon smiling and waving him to the booth.

[mkmarlene]

She cared deeply for the wizard, having found an easy escape with him whenever she needed a laugh or a fun time. She appreciated the fact that he didn't bring up her family's tragedy nor asked if she was okay, simply giving her room to have some normal in her life. "Well, yeah, I'm pretty drunk already." The witch admitted matter-of-factly, nodding her head at his words. "But, if I do recall well, you're no chicken who can't handle his liquor." Marlene said, almost challenging him to a fun night. "Think you can be a good match for this drunk girl who wants to have a fun night?"

Gideon had always gotten along with Marlene, both of their personalities similar in a way that made it easy for them to find common ground, be it at work or in their personal lives. And while she had always been a sociable person, he had noticed her light had dimmed recently, how could it not? With everything that had happened. So he had felt it his mission to work hard to get a genuine laugh or smile out of the woman. He chuckled, clearly amused when he noticed that she was drunk already. "Well, that is a resolution that is quite easy to strike off the list. You seem to have had a headstart, however. I don't know if I can provide you with the best night ever, but I shall try my best."

He spotted the man, knowing which of the twins it was, and made his way over, his own drink in hand. "I don't want to say how old I feel with everyone around me." Edgar laughs sitting down beside him. "How are you holding up?"

[mkmarlene]

It had always come easily for her to get along with people, no matter their upbringing, personalities or even age. Marlene considered herself quite the sociable butterfly and had proved over and over again that she was fun to hang out with. Gideon was one of the people she had the most amusing times with, their humour quite similar and both laid back enough not to concern themselves too much to spoil what could be a promising night. So far, the witch had been drinking a little more than she should, but for the first time in a long while it was purely for the pleasure of it rather than a way to escape reality. So when she came upon the wizard, she waved her hand right in front of his face quite clumsily to catch his attention. "Oi, Gid, it's new year and one of my resolutions is to get sloshed with your pretty face. Just a tad bit, nothing over the top, just waking up with no memories except the feeling of the best night ever-- what do you say?"

[ofxsorcery]

“We shared a womb a very, very long time ago and still you keep reminding me of it. Seeing your face at the same time is an extra reminder of it too,” Fabian pointed out to his brother over the files in front of him on the desk. His work had been piling up and he hadn’t had a lot of time for friends or family, however. So it wasn’t that strange that Gideon had shown up here. “You know… If you are here to keep me company, you can help me sort through those files and separate them in two piles. The sooner I can get out of here and we can get a drink.”

"Is it really so hard to believe that I came to your office today to keep you company? We shared a womb. I missed you." Despite his joking tone he really had missed Fabian recently, both of them incredibly busy with their jobs.

[fcrox]

"Do I look like I could be hiding from the masses on New Year's Eve of all days?" Beatrice had found herself helping out more so than anything. And besides, if there was a night that she had to get out and celebrate, it was this one.

The end of one year, the potential good beginning of another. At the very least a fresh start; one she didn't mind. "I'm kidding. I'm actually rather enjoying myself." Finally, the smile. "What about you?" - @gideonscprewett

status: for @fcrox (bea) location: three broomsticks

With the amount of people roaming the streets tonight he had run into several of his friends throughout the night, a smile appearing on his lips when he spotted Bea, making his way over to her side. "It is good to see you. I almost thought you had decided to skip tonight's festivities. How are you doing?"

[xmollyweasleyx]

“No lies, no lies. I wouldn’t have it any other way either. Mum had it right on more than one occasion. But you could still give me some warning!” Molly smirked, smacking Gideon with each word coming out of her mouth, “How! Dare! You!”

Molly was so pleased to see her brother��s face. It may have looked just like Fabian’s but she always could tell the difference. To her they looked very different. Their temperaments were so different that it made their features distinct. Not only was Gideon playful he was also protective and caring. She loved him and was happy he came through her floo. “You know I would never tell you to leave.” Molly rolled her eyes. “Use your head, Gid. I have too much of a soft spot for you,” she smiled tight-lipped, looking up at her brother.

She chuckled while she put some food together. “You’re very welcome.” It would truly be anytime but she wasn’t going to say that out loud. Then again, she didn’t have to. He knew she could never say no to him.

Except with his next statement.

“Oh-ho-ho, I never said you should move in! I miss you both. My floo and my door are open to you anytime but this house is not big enough!”

"What else do you want me to say? I would apologise but I am not sorry at all. Mother told us not to tell lies after all." He joked with a teasing smile on his lips as he looked down on his sister. She'd always been quite a bit shorter than him and he found it no less endearing now than he did back when they were younger. "I figured your floo is only open for specific people, I ventured the guess that I am on the list of allowed visitors." Gideon dodged the towel, not letting her hit him, laughing once more.

"That is why I am here today. I thought it simply unacceptable that I had not seen you in so long. So I thought it best to remedy that as soon as possible." He shrugged, giving her a honest explanation. Perhaps it was a bit spontaneous, but he had not allowed himself that for quite a while. "I find that quite offensive. If you want me to leave just say so." He knew she wouldn't, but he couldn't help but tease, grinning at the prospect of his sister's. "Thanks Mol, you're the best."

Leaning back in his chair he looked at his sister. "So what I am hearing is, you want us to move in? I think it'd make things a bit crowded, but fine, if you insist. I'll talk to Fab."

[mkmarlene]

"No doubt at all, you're the better twin." Marlene allowed, looking up as though she was stating the obvious. "I shall not comment further on hairstyle preferences, but you look good for your age." The witch teased him playfully, knowing just how far she could push, hooking her arm with his and grinning as she raised her brows in a slightly flirty way. "Well, since we're wrapping the 70's, I think we should definitely get hammered. Up for a wild night, Gid?"

"I know he's the worst, right?" Gideon joked. His brother was the closest person to him, he would do anything for Fabian. In his mind his brother was the best guy around, he just wouldn't admit that to his face. Had to keep him humble after all. "My hairline's not receding he just likes to forgo haircuts." Gideon liked to wear his hair shorter than his brother did. "How could I deny such a charming offer?"

[ofxsorcery]

“After 33 years, things like that are starting to get a bit lame,” Fabian pointed out to his brother. Although he could take it a lot better from his brother than from someone unknown. But in the end, the joke had been made too many times. “Please tell me you haven’t used that as a pick-up line?”

"I'm not sorry." He shrugged, throwing a grin in his brother's direction. Gideon didn't know that Fabian was here tonight, but he'd always take a chance at hanging out with his brother, with work keeping them busy they didn't see each other as much as they used to. "Come on, you know that was funny."

[fcrox]

“Should I be doubting you?” Hestia shook her head, the laugh indication enough that she wasn’t going to bother doubting him or question him for that matter. It was simple as that. A nod, to follow along his other words. “I am nothing if not that, aren’t I?” The Hufflepuff was indeed committed. Some might even claim overly so. Perhaps there was some truth to the fact that Hestia, at times, could hardly say no to work. It was something she had in common with a few of those she considered her friends. Workaholics among each other, or something along the lines.

She glanced at her bag for a moment, deciding against the usual habit of continuing work outside of work. “I’ll keep my files wrapped up. Consider it my treat. And the next round,” the witch pointed at the drinks. “Is on me. I feel I owe you that much.” - @gideonscprewett

"Are you doubting me?" He shakes his head, a smirk on his lips as he not actually offended but playing it up for the bit. Outside of work he could joke around and have a good time with his friends and coworkers, but he took his job seriously. "

"You are the picture book definition of committed, I'll admit." That's what made him respect Hestia so much, her dedication and commitment to the auror department. There were few in her department he trusted as fully as he did her. With Hestia on a case he knew the solve rate went up signifcantly.

[fcrox]

For a while she busied herself with her butterbeer, nodding along to what the other was saying. No doubt, Gideon was one of the people to observe far more than most. Whether it was the times or simply part of who he was, the witch wasn’t going to judge the reason behind the thing she found to be a skill rather than an oddity. “Do you now? Let’s hope when it comes down to it you really do, Gid.” It was nothing more than a playful challenge. And then her face turned into an even more challenging frown.

“Of course, I’m committed. Have you ever seen me be anything but committed? Dedicated to my work and other things. In fact, far enough that some might claim I work too hard. And too much. Opinions vary.” The former Hufflepuff gave a shrug. It ran in her blood, and she wasn’t going to fight something that had turned out to be more than helpful over the years. Her auror case rates were excellent. - @gideonscprewett

"I have eyes everywhere, Hes." He warned in a joking tone, but he was more observant than people gave him credit for. In the times they were living now, being aware of your surroundings was extremely important. "It absolutely would be. I am glad you're so committed."

[fcrox]

“I wouldn’t dare. But it is always nice to know you’re paying attention to your surroundings, Gideon.” Hestia’s chuckle filled the air as she slid into the chair opposite of him. The witch had used the name not to call him but to simply see how much attention the other was paying. “You won’t hear me deny that. Would be a crime, wouldn’t it. And we both know I’m sworn to fight crime rather than commit it.” With a happy sigh she reached out for the butterbeer that had floated over. - @gideonscprewett

"Did you just call me Fabian?" "Oh, don't tell me you thought I was my brother. I should really be offended. I mean, the guy looks nothing like me." Fabian tended to have his face set to a frown consistently. Making fun of his identical twin was one of Gideon's favorite past times, few things brought him as much joy as needling him.
