"and if they don't it's because they have a higher tolerance than we can ever dream of." emmeline wouldn't mind some of that tolerance. she knew she was gonna feel it tomorrow. not that it stopped her from drinking a little more from her cup. "we can play who is gonna pass out first." there were some good contenders around them like the two who were trying to prove to the other how not-drunk they were. "teddy has their camera with them. we might have some entertainment for tomorrow too."

mary hums, tilting her head to the side. she glances around at the crowd, and then lets out a huff of laughter. "everyone's going to regret this in the morning," she predicts, and then shrugs. "but at least we have some entertainment for the night."

"it's not my fault you make it so easy to hoard some." she teased them quite pleased with herself to see them smile like that. "i'm sure you have something deep down there on me. very very deep down." it was nice that she could just be herself with sirius. they knew each others sharp edges by now. she might have not been the one who could help with his but at least she could offer him to hear any new ones.

"who wouldn't want to be fawned by a hoard of people? tripping over their feet over the sight of us. who can blame them?" the whole idea sounded straight out of a muggle movie. "honestly i wish i had the holiday you are picturing. anything i say now is a letdown." she shrugged her shoulders and gave hima real answer this time. "sorry but no shirtless men for me this time. just a single woman who, for you information, did wear a shirt. nothing serious came out of it." she laughed lightly with a soft shake of her head. "if i ever do have a holiday like that, you'll be the first i call but i'm not sure if the masses can handle us."

"come now, sweet thing — i need something to hold over your head. you have so much ammunition against me." sirius's smile blooms brighter as emmeline engages with him. she really was remarkably wonderful. breaking up might have been the best thing that ever happened to the two of them. emmeline was strangely the woman who knew all of sirius's secrets, and he didn't begrudge her any of them.

frankly, it was nice to have someone he could talk to about all of it. as an ex, she was perfectly equipped to hear about every other romantic dalliance — which she did, at length. he plays his part as she reveals something about her holiday to them; "oh, my imagination is doing wonders. i can see it now. hoards of shirtless men and women all fawning over you. you should invite me next time."

"you're probably right." she conceded to teddy with a raise of her cup and a sip for good measure. "this must be why i ended up in ravenclaw. the lack of destruction of property." not that she would ever admit it but it was very funny from a distance. a far distance where she could feign ignorance if asked. "hopefully no one needs any healing charms as those aren't exactly my forte." plus emmeline had been told she should not go for the healing major. something about not having the right beside manner or some other nonsense. "captured any ruthless behavior yet?" she asked with a quick glance at the camera in their hand.

drunken parties were their favorite pastime, normally because the next day they'd find the funniest and wildest of images on their camera. so perfectly candid. all of their subjects so vulnerable and often times, idiotic. a camera was in hand, watching their classmates with amusement as they tended to the whiskey in hand. " honestly, pretty low. the gryffindors are ruthless. " teddy said with a chuckle.

(open) emmeline was trying to mind her own business but she thought it was well within her friend rights to roll her eyes. in the distance, she spotted there was sirius talking to evan rosier of all people. an entire school full of options and that is who he picked? how many times did she tell them to get better taste? in order to stay in her lane, emmeline turned her back to them and faced the person who happened to be standing next to her.

"so what are the odds everyone gets out of here in one piece?" she asked as the obnoxiously large cup in her hand gestured to the crowd around them.

there were exes, and there was the ex. the one who helped shaped their viewpoint of what should and should not be. sirius black was definitely the latter for her. their relationship was a whole mess piled on to a dumpster fire. it was a brutal breakup at the time but she was glad for it now. emmeline would like to think she learned a lot from him and he from her. what mattered is that somehow, they made it through the mess as better friends than they ever were lovers.

emmeline grinned at the sight of them hovering over her. it was really good to see her friend again after all these months apart. she wagged her well-manicured finger at the gryffindor. "you don't fool me. you just want gossip to hold over my head forever and you know it." one long-suffering sigh later, emmeline finally answered sirius. "I did escape to mallorca for a while there. i'll let your imagination run wild. it's probably more exciting than anything I actually did."

( @emmeline-vance ) of all the girls that sirius probably shouldn't have been friends with anymore, emmeline was at the top of the list. everyone had watched their disasterous nosedive into and out of a relationship. really, she should have hated him by now, and he should have hated her. the strange thing was; neither of those things were true. sirius adored emmeline more now than when he had been making out with her on the regular. friendship is often so much better than romance.

it's easy, then, to lean close at the opening feast and fix her with a smile. "tell me something good about your summer, em." a grin, "or better yet, tell me you did the summer doing something really really bad."
