“Lav you know you don’t need to use your puppy eyes on me , right ?I can never say know to you.”Parvati answered with a grin , affectionately rolling her eyes at Lavender’s theatrics.The world no usually came second nature to Parvati , the young woman was as stubborn as an ox and refused to be pressured into doing anything she didn’t want to.But Lavender was one of the few exceptions.Lavender was one of her best friends and Parvati would of done anything to please her.

“I’m sure you could find plenty of ways to have fun and cause chaos by yourself.But yes we can sit in the corner and gossip about all of Liam’s colleagues.Hopefully , they have office drama worth gossiping about.”Parvati knew her suggestion was immature but she didn’t care.Growing up was exhausting and she wanted to remember who she was before the war.”I have plenty of outfits that I need an excuse to wear but that’s also a pretty good offer.That dress is stunning but so are all your clothes , especially the ones I picked out for you.

             ❝   oh,  parvati  patil,  you  are  so  my  favourite  person  in  the  world !     ❞    not  that  that   was  ever  in  doubt .  lavender  pulled  parvati  into  a  quick  hug,  elated  smile  bright  on  her  face .    ❝   have  i  ever  told  you  that  you’re  totally  my  hero ?    ———  tonight’d  be  dead  boring  without  you  there  to  help  me  have  fun  and  cause  chaos .  you  know  i’m  never  as  good  at  it  on  my  own .   ❞ 

                ❝   there  must  be  some  office  drama   -   &.  if  not,  we  could  just  make  some  up .  ❞    baseless  gossip  had  been  much  more  her  thing  as  a  young  teenager,  but  she  couldn’t  deny  the  idea  of  letting  loose  and  reliving  her  childhood  for  the  night  sounded  appealing,  especially  with  parvati  by  her  side .     ❝   well,  i’ll  set  the  dress  aside   -   if  you  end  up  wanting  it,  it’s  totally  yours .  i’m  giving  you  a  once - in - a - lifetime  free  pass  to  borrow  anything  from  my  closet  for  the  night .  ❞

CLOSED  STARTER  /  @seerparvatii​

        ❝    ———  ugh !  my  mum  is  insisting  i  have  to  go  to  this  party  liam’s  firm  is  throwing  tonight .   ❞   the  name  of  her  stepfather  is  uttered  with  no  shortage  of  annoyance   -   suffice  it  to  say,  there’s  never  been  any  love  lost  there .   ❝    .  .  .  please  tell  me  you’ll  be  my  plus - one .  i  totally  won’t  have  any  fun  if  you’re  not  there .    ❞

                her  pleading  eyes  were  turned  on  parvati,  ready  to  beg  if  needed .  not  only  was  she  sure  to  have  a  miserably  boring  time  if  she  was  forced  to  attend  alone,  her  mother  had  only  been  getting  more  and  more  keen  on  the  idea  of  setting  her  up  lately   -   it  wasn’t  out  of  the  question  to  believe  this  party  invite  was  calliope  fawley’s  poor  attempt  at  disguising  a  blind  date  setup .

           ❝    you  can  even  borrow  my  blue  dress  if  you  want   -   the  one  i  wore  to  the  pinchkins’  christmas  party ?    ❞

it  wasn’t  that  lavender  didn’t  appreciate  a  good  party,  it’s  just  that  . . .  well,  this  wasn’t  a  good  party .  the  birthday  girl’s  brother  had  already  asked  her  to  go  home  with  him  -  twice  -  and  the  woman  of  the  hour  was  champagne - drunk  and  getting  louder  by  the  minute .  lavender  was  closing  her  tab,  more  than  ready  to  head  home  &  call  it  an  early  night  when  she  spotted  a  familiar  slip  of  a  girl  sitting  alone  in  a  corner  booth  and  decided  to  make  her  way  over,  hoping  that  time  spent  with  a  friend  would  help  end  her  night  on  a  happier  note .

which  is  how  she  finds  herself  here  now,  wavering  between  claiming  the  empty  space  in  the  booth  for  herself  or  walking  away  rather  than  interrupt  luna’s  work .  her  cheeks  flush  pink  as  the  younger  girl’s  attention  turns  to  her  -  she  hadn’t  meant  to  hover,  second - guessing  whether  luna  would  welcome  an  intrusion,  but  now  that  she’d  been  caught,  it  seemed  the  choice  had  been  made  for  her .

❝    ———   hey !  i  saw  you  across  the  bar  and  thought  you  might  want  some  company .  can  i  join  you  ?    ❞

Perhaps the last place anyone should be reading or doing any research was at a particularly rowdy wizard’s bar  on a Friday night - but Luna Lovegood was doing just that. Tucked away in  a booth at the corner, two books open before her and half-consumed cake and iced tea just slightly off to the side. Granted, she truly did find concentration in such a space. The buzz of warmth and unending unintelligible chatter served as a pleasant way to fill up the space, to keep her head rooted firmly where it should’ve been instead of wandering about like it always would. It was why she never liked to visit the silence of the library.

So she was used to the occasional stares; sometimes people would pause and ask what she was doing. Which was why she knew the person was standing by the edge of her booth for a bit now. Luna had grown accustomed to ignoring many people, but once they hit a time threshold, she knew she had to say something. “Yes?” Her voice was light, genuinely curious, as she finally looked up from her book to face the person.
