Halloween Festival [ Open to Everyone! ]

[Luc Norwood]

---

"I like both, so what it really boils down to is if I want to work in the wizarding world, or not," Luc shook his head, now was not the time to dredge up such conversations. For one, he was speaking with someone of pure-blood decent. His mother may have married a muggle, and lived in a muggle neighborhood, but she firmly worked at St. Mungo's., a place she spent a great deal of time. Another good reason to leave it be was that long term life decisions did not make good first date fodder. And above all else, Luc just wasn't ready to discuss what it was he planned to do with himself after Hogwarts. He'd had quite enough of that at the end of last year when the teachers were going over their O.W.L. results with a fine tooth comb.

"I never got the chance to learn how to ride, but horse's are cool. I have cat named Apollo."If Luc hadn't been looking at Chasity as she admitted she liked to sing, he would've missed her blushing entirely. Which would've been a shame because, along with a growing soft spot for blonde Slytherin girls, Luc had a well established fondness for girls that blushed. "Do you ever sing for anybody?" Luc smiled.

They arrived to small village moments later, and Chasity's arm did not slip from his. Did that mean something? Did it matter? Luc wasn't sure so he left it alone for now. The important question lay in, what came next? The idea behind this whole thing was for James to see him with a girl that wasn't Penny. Ease James's sensitive sensibilities, and really that was only because he cared about Penny to begin with. The fight between them had left more then a few bumps and bruises, it had established a new precendent having to do with her panic attacks. She did not have to be enclosed in a small place to be set off. That was scarier then Luc was willing to admit to himself, much less anyone else.

Chasity's laugh pulled him from his jumbled thoughts and he looked to where she pointed. Even cocking his head to the side, Luc couldn't tell if it was a witch with a very good costume, or hag after all. "I think you're right," he chuckled. "Did you want to get a drink?" He indicated The Three Broomsticks.

[Lucy Weasley]

Lucy had spent all day trying to look perfect. Her hair had proved a bit difficult, but she had managed to get it right. It was a cascade of red curls, that she had pulled half up half down with a pink rose barette. MAkeup was simple, and now all she had to do was put on her costume, which took her all of five minuets. She smiled at herself in the mirror in the girl's dorm. She grabbed wand and started out of the common room. She was already a bit late to meet Noah, she just hoped he wouldnt mind.

She rounded a corner and descended the steps that led to the entrance hall. She smiled when she saw Noah all dressed up in his Roul costume, he really did look very handsome. She smiled brightly and waved at him and sped up her pace down the steps, careful to keep the hem of her dress up so she didnt trip. She walked towards him and kissed his cheek. "You look so dashing!" she said and then giggled a bit."Are you ready to go?" she asked him still smiling happily. She had a feeling that this would be a amazing night.

[Chase Weasley]

CHASE ANNABELL WEASLEY

Chase stood in her common room smiled devilishly at her reflection winking to herself and giggling. She twirling watching her reflection. Her dress and short and leathery. She was a naughty nun, oh her father would murder her and kill every make at the party! She twisted her fingers with the gloves and smiled, y' know, She looked good in this, viciously sexy even, normally not so she is usually the boyish type but haha it's halloween!
Her hair was straight with ringlets at the tips, she had bright red lipstick on and black eyeliner and white eyeshadow, Lily helped her with the make-up since she was a failure with make-up. She pulled up the white hood she added to the costume, it was also tight and leathery. Her wand was stuffed along side white thigh high fishnet stocking and black leather boots. Was this gonna be KILLER or what? She kept the hood up, to leave people confused about who she was, as she walked though the stret and into the three broomsticks.

Leo 'Bones' Deforest

Leo sighed as he walked into the party, he was invited and come on, drinking? what could he pass up, he was sorta disgusted how close and touchy everyone was, the germs! and so much skin, THE DANGER, GAH! He wore a muggle costume, which he easily used a few magic touches. He wore a black pinstripe coat, white dress shirt and pants to match the coat. He wore a blue and black vest and was tie less. He carried a silver platter with a fake head on it, easily transfigured to project his own voice and look like himself. His 'neck' bubbled fake blood occasionally when he talked. he walked in heading for the bar and set his 'head' down. He didn't care much for social events.

[James Potter]

James stared at the floor awkwardly as his dad asked how long they had been dating. All James really mentioned in letters home was that he made really good friends with a Ravenclaw girl and thought she was pretty. He never once implied that they were 'officially' dating. Of course his dad saw right through him, managing to bring up the subject briefly during their last meeting at the Three Broomsticks. Its not that he was ashamed of having a girlfriend. No way. He was just shy about it because Penny was his first.

Relief washed through him when Penny spoke up, yet the relief was clouded with more nervousness when he realized that two months ago he did not tell his family that he had a girlfriend. He hope his dad wouldn't say anything. James squeezed Penny's hand and pulled her a bit closer to him. "Yeah," was his weak reply. His dad's expression was not helping the situation. He followed Penny's lead, also gazing around the room. The first person he was looking for was Chasity to say hello and... to see if she had a date. James scrunched up his nose childishly. The second person he wanted to find was Luc, so he could remind him to stay away from Penny. Also, he wanted to see if Luc still had the black eye James graciously gave him. Subconsciously James lifted his free hand to his nose, which still sported a faint bruise from when it was broken. There was another person he was looking for, his mum. James was planning to avoid her at all costs, considering that she'd hang all around him and his girlfriend gabbing away and fawning over Penny. Now James loved his mother, just not when she got all girly.

Coming back to the present, James added, "Do you want a drink Pen?" he asked her, obviously trying to divert the conversation somewhere else.

[Lily Potter]

[/size][/center]

The Halloween party was Lily's first real social gathering since her little dungeon duel. She'd been avoiding attention as much as possible. That was pretty hard to do. Of course, rumors were flying everywhere. She did her best to put them down but, after awhile she gave up. People really did get some wild ideas when they didn't know the facts. Some said that Lily was just trying to get attention. Other said it was all just an accident - which it was. Lily was told that Chasity hadn't meant to hurt her like she did. Lily took as much blame as she could. If she wouldn't have egged Chasity on, coming up with her wild dramatic theories, Chasity wouldn't have had a reason to try and curse Lily. It was only self defense. Still, even though Lily had forgiven Chasity, she was avoiding her - and everyone for that matter.

Today, by some amazing luck, Lily was able to attend the party. No one was excluded. At first, she had not wanted to go but, after much convincing from James, Tor, and her friends, Lily consented to go. Plus, her cousin Chase begged Lily to do her make up. Of course Lily did it. She'd do anything for any other cousins - Chase especially since she had no mother or siblings. Lily was rather proud of the work she had done with Chase.Chase's costume on the other hand - well, Lily just left that issue alone.

Lily, on the other hand wasn't entirely prepared for a party but, she had enough on hand to throw together a ballerina type costume. She left the feast, to change and then walked herself to the Three Broomsticks. She had told Tormund and everyone else that she was meet up with them there. This party was going to be really awkward. First off, Lily was avoiding Chasity - whom would most likely be there. Her entire family would be there, while Lily was there with Tormund - her boyfriend. On top of that, she would most likely see Scorpius Malfoy - her secret love, there. She hoped that for some reason Malfoy wouldn't be there. She needed to be able to focus on other people tonight. Plus, she just needed fun. As Lily entered the pub, things were already crowded. She slowly weeded through bodies, looking for a familiar face.

[Noah Dale]

- - - - - - - - - -

Noah had to suck in a breathe as he watched Lucy descend th stairs. Her hair was perfect, exactly how he imagined it to be, so elegant and her natural curls were in place. Her dress was just as elegant, and was just as she had described to him. He could care less at the moment that she was late by a few minutes, nothing would make him mad at that beautiful creature. He watched as she sped up, trying to reach him as soon as possible and took a few steps forward, making sure she didn't trip. A kiss on the cheek wouldn't do. As she called him dashing her took his pointer finger under her chin and made her give him a proper kiss. As she giggled, he pulled them apart. "And you look so beautiful tonight." he told her, wrapping a arm around her shoulders, nodding as he led her out into the cool evening.

Now that she was at his side, he had to think of a way to tell her that he loved her. Like he had planned, he didn't want it to be 'Oh, and I love you', he wanted it to be special. And he wanted it before either of them had any alchol in their systems. He wanted to remember telling her and wanted her to as well. He knew Penny would be on his case for this. Before he knew it, they were down in the small town of Hogsmead, watching colorful costumes pass by. "So, where to first?" he asked, looking down at Lucy, wondering if she was cold or something.

[Chasity Atherton]

At Luc's question, Chasity managed to blush again before replying, No, I don't sing in front of other people. It's just not... who I am. She mentally chastised herself for the blushing, it was making her feel like an idiot. He didn't seem to mind, though, so it wasn't so bad.

She nodded and agreed that a drink sounded good, so she followed his lead into the Three Broomsticks. A familiar face was entering right in front of her though, and she paused briefly. It was Lily. Chasity was mildly surprised to see her here. Of course, she'd been released from the Hospital Wing, but it was still a shock since it was the first time she'd seen her since then. She looked at Luc out of the corner of his eye to see if he'd noticed her hesitation, but the pub was crowded so it could have been passed off as necessary. She wanted to say something to her, but there didn't seem to be any adequate words. There's an empty spot over by the bar, but I don't see any seats. Let's go this way, she said to her date, making her way carefully through the thick crowd. Another moment of pause soon followed as she saw James, Penny, and Harry standing there talking. Perhaps the night would be slightly more awkward than she'd originally thought. There didn't seem to be any way to get to the bar except to walk right by the group. It was going to be difficult. She still hadn't decided what to do about her plans. I guess I just have to go with it. Whatever happens, happens.

[Penny Matthews]

Penny smiled a little as James squeezed her hand back and pulled her a little closer to him. From his less than enthusiatic addition to her response regarding how long they had been dating, Penny gathered that James hadn't made that peice of information public before now. Or maybe he just couldn't remember. Boys were like that weren't they, forgetful about dates and anniversaries and things... Anniversary... A flash of an image came into her minds eye, which she hastily tried to shoe back out...

"Do you want a drink Pen?"

Ah, something to rid that pesky image from her brain, Penny quickly turned her head to look up at James, "Please! Um, can I have a Butterbeer with ginger please?" She smiled,and then she noticed a farmiliar face emurging from the crowd. Penny grinned at Luc, sending a small wave in his direction and mouthing 'Hi!'. She wasn't stupid, she knew he was upset by what had happened on the pitch the other day, and she knew that despite his knowing of her instability in the wandless magic area, it had shaken him up a bit. Of course witnessing someone blow a small hole in the ground by just being upset was probably enough to shake most people up, she suspected. She felt a breif wave of guilt pass over her, that was until she saw that Lucas wasn't alone...

Penny smiled curtly towards the blonde girl. She'd heard about the duel between her and Lily, but James had said that both girls had been at fault, Penny figured that perhaps Chasity's Slytherin image had done her less favors in the subsiquent rumours than Lily's Gryffindor image. So, for that reason, Penny decided to reserve judgement, for now. It wasn't like she had spoken to the girl before, and Luc was here with her, so she must have been fairly nice to talk to, and James was her friend, so she really couldn't be that bad. Could she?

Turned back to James' dad, she smiled, "It's really nice to meet you," She said politely.

[Harry Potter]

Harry chuckled slightly at Penny as she addressed him as Mr. Potter. "No need for the formalities. Harry will be just fine." he said. He never did like it when someone addressed him as such. It always reminded him of his school years when he was getting in trouble. He nodded his head slightly whenever Penny answered his question. Two months...

Harry had had a suspicion that James' relationship with his Ravenclaw 'friend' had gone to the next level. He had mentioned any specifics in his letters, but... Harry had been his age once. And while he had never had anyone to write letters to about... well, anything, he was still a father. He was able to read the hidden meanings within the words with ease.

And James hadn't exactly confirmed it when they had last met in the Pub. Not that it mattered either way. He looked at his son. "You’re Mum's not here yet, or at least I haven't seen her yet. Are your brother and sister coming to the festival?" he asked. The last time he had seen Lily had been when he had gotten a rather frightening Owl stating she had been in a duel. The duel had been a big deal, but Harry was still learning something every day about being a parent. And if you were to ask him, he would rather face Voldemort again then get another owl like that.

[Ted Lupin]

- - - - - - - - -

Althought Ted had gotten off work later then Victoire, he knew he would be ready before her. He always was. And this year it was easy enough to prepare himself for his costume. Ted always could be key on his costumes, thanks to his appearence changing abilites. It had always upset him that he couldn't be counted in costume contests if he changed his appearance in any way. So whenever it came up, Ted would take on the role as a judge, not a contestant. Ted changed his hair quily to a short, black color and placed a pair of aviators on his face. He then slipped out of his work clothes so he was left only in his boxers and put on the flight suit he had managed to find. He was going as Maverick from Top Gun, a movie he had seen a while back but always enjoyed. He step out of the employee's bathroom and headed to his desk to put his clothes in the drawer, people commenting on his costume as he passed. Eventually he made it out to the streets of London and Apparated to Hogsmead.

Landing in one of the alleys, Ted was surprised by the husle and bustle that was already happening all around them. He checked the time, he was a bit earlier then he said he would, but he would head to the Three Broomsticks, like Vic and him had planned. As he walked to the bar, he ordered himself a firewhiskey, which he downed just before spotting Harry and James, and a girl he didn't reconize. He quickly placed his empty drink down and walked over to them. "Harry! James! And a girl I don't the name of!" Ted laughed, placing a hand on his godfather's shoulder and beaming, already feeling the slight buzz from the whiskey. "Have any of you seen my fiancee around?" he beamed again, like he had said the first night, the fact that she was his was something he would nver get tired of.

[Tristan Hunter]

Halloween, one of the most popular times of the year in the magical community and a celebratory event that Tristan Hunter did actually enjoy. It wasn’t that he disliked other callender events only here in this even he could be with those like him and could put those good acting skills of his to rest. Family was not something Tristan held dear to him, his parents had loved him and treated him well but they were not his real parents, his real parents he’d never truly known but being here with other witches and wizards was close to how he believed that close connection on a holiday must feel.

Arriving fairly early he had intended to get a good few drinks for himself and watch as faces he did and did not recognise entered The Three Broomsticks where this Halloween event was being held. Dressed for the occasion he wore a dark suit fitting his lean profile perfectly, a long black cloak castcating to the floor from his shoulders, a collar spelled to stay upright in a period fashion. His already pale skin need not be tainted by any muggle or wizarding makeup and his long styled dark hair need not be touched for that picture suited the man undoubtedly well. As people greeted him politely he smiled with a simple nod or general ‘hello’ as was polite, each time pointed fangs gleaming under the dull lighting. The benifits of being a wizard meant he could use magic to spell his teeth instead of using those abysmal and uncomfortable pieces of plastic that muggles believed to be effective as vampire fangs. Tonight, he looked nothing less of the part.

He’d already been to the bar countless times this evening and was sporting his third, or was it fourth, glass of firewhiskey firmly in his right hand. Mingling around the room he found himself in a conversation with an old acquaintance that he really couldn’t care for but he’d pretend for his respect and familiarity may come in useful one day, this was what the young man was good at these days, deception and fakery. Only half listening to the man before him his eyes spotted something far more appealing to his attention. “Excuse me” he interrupted the conversation leaving the man’s side with a smirk plastered across his face at the arrival of the most beautiful looking girl one could lay eyes on. No one else in the room could compare to how she looked and even more so looked tonight in her lack of clothing but such a fact was all the more delightful for Tristan to view in pleasure. Striding over to the girl standing with a group of people, he slowed at his approach. The dark haired figure appeared and stood beside Teddy Lupin answering his question in what was also a greeting, “Penny Matthews” he smiled at her, letting his eyes take in her dark and enchanting features. Tristan let his gaze stay on Penelope for a few moments before reluctantly tearing them off her before his reaction was regarded as staring. There was a place and a time and with pitiful boyfriend James Potter around he would not let his interest linger for too long; not because he was threatened by a meer boy but because the boy was not alone, Tristan may not be fearful but he wasn't stupid.

[James Potter]

The attempt to divert the conversation seemed to work well, since Penny suggested what she wanted to drink. James made his best effort to squeeze in a bit more, trying to get the bar tender's attention. He leaned over a bit on the counter, one hand in the air holding up the number two. Finally the tender noticed James' efforts, tilting his head up waiting for the order.

"Two, uh, two butterbeers," James yelled over the crowd. "And one of those with ginger... please." He straightened himself out as he dug through his pockets for some coins. He pulled out the proper amount just as the drinks were brought over. "Thanks," he said as he paid. The bartender quickly hurried off to serve more guests. "Here you go, Pen." James smiled as he handed over her drink, being sure to give her the right one. He was also being extra careful, because the white gloves of his costume made it extra slippy to hold onto things, especially glass mugs.

And he right about dropped his drink when he saw the next two people who walked through the door. Just recently James got into a bitter fist fight with a Ravenclaw, Luc Norwood. They hadn't really left on the best of terms, but it wasn't like they were going to beat each other to a pulp if sighted again. As long as Luc didn't make any more passes at Penny. Then there was another particular event of a Slytherin girl kissing James in the dead of night, then proceeding to slice up his sister a few days later with a nasty spell. Chasity was a girl James had no clue about. She was one person one day, then completely different the next. It just so happened that these two people came to the festival together.

James peered over Penny's shoulder towards the odd duo with an awkward expression on his face. It was a mixture of utter shock and a bit of disgust. And was that... jealousy? No, it couldn't be. But it was. His eyes followed them across the room for a good minute and a half until James realized he had a staring problem.

"You’re Mum's not here yet, or at least I haven't seen her yet. Are your brother and sister coming to the festival?" James' dad interrupted the awkward moment.

It was hard work to pull his glare away from Chasity and Luc to look at his dad. "Eh, what?" James said dumbly before chancing another glance at the two. "I don't know about Albus, but Lily... she uh... Oh there she is now." Another reason to look into the crowd and towards the door. Lily entered in a bit awkwardly, looking lost in the crowd. "Oy! Lily!" James yelled as he waved an arm in the air. His hand sunk back down, taking a moment to fix his hat on his head, then hung at his side. He wasn't sure if she saw them or not, and hoped Lily would find her way over. James also hoped he didn't draw too much attention to himself because of his waving about, especially by Chasity or Luc. Actually, Luc's attention wouldn't be that bad, because then James could show off his good looking date in his face.

A small smirk started to form on his lips as he stared out into space. A few moments passed, and then another family member walked in through the door. "Chase! Hey! Over here!" James tried to get her attention, making him look like a dork for the second time. His eyes showed a bit of shock seeing how his little cousin was dressed. But he wouldn't mention anything, because it was Halloween. Besides it was Chase, she liked things that stood out. He started to daydream again, lost in the whirring noise of the crowd.

The arrival of Ted shook the lingering cloudiness off his face though, and turned it into a bright smile. "Ted! Hey, how's it going?" James said excitedly as he held out his hand to pull Ted into a brotherly hug. Of all the people James could call friends, and it wasn't many, he would consider Ted one of his closest. He looked up to him, and even though they didn't see each other a lot anymore, James knew he could trust Ted with anything. Most of the time. "This is Penny, my girlfriend." The last word was almost choked out. James knew what was coming, or at least he thought he did. Ted might make a big hoopla about James finally getting a girl. Though he kind of deserved a little embarrassment, considering how much he embarrassed Ted on the Platform the one day.

Then Ted asked if anyone had seen his fiance. James looked at Ted with a smirk, knowing that the two of them were bound to get married one day. "No I haven't seen her yet..." James trailed off as an unknown figure approached the group. He eyed him curiously, not recognizing his features. The stranger looked too old to be a student, though still very young. James' eyes just about popped out of his head when the man addressed Penny. He looked at his girlfriend wearily. Who was this guy, and how did he know Penny? James tried to suppress it, but his jealousy was stirring a bit inside him. He took a couple sips of his butterbeer to silence it for the time being. A warm fuzzy feeling took over in his stomach, though he was still very curious about the newbie.

[Tormund Wood]

Tormund stalked Lily a smile on his face as he walked. He got closer to her and covered her eyes. He disguised his voice and said, “guess who?” He rested his head against her shoulder, just to give her a hint on who it was. Then he heard James call out Lily’s name, his hands then slid fromher eyes so she could see as he kissed her. “You look beautiful tonight Lily…” The N.E.W.T student didn’t notice that they were that close to Harry until then and that’s when he felt like time stood still as he looked into the Head Auror’s eyes. He doubted that Harry knew that he was dating his ‘baby girl’. Tor had practically committed the worst crime in a father’s handbook of laws. It didn’t help that Lily’s eldest brother was there as well. He pushed the thought of Harry out of his mind and turned back to Lily. “Want a drink Lil’s?” He had to put a bit of distance between him and the head Auror for now and pray that he didn’t get slammed when he returned with drinks. He was going to get himself a firewhiskey as he just squeaked over the age limit for heavy alcohol intake.

(ooc: What Tor’s wearing)

[Lily Potter]

Get a hold of yourself Lils! she told herself, trying to rid herself of the unusual awkward feeling. Lily did like attention but, the type of attention she had been receiving was the unwanted kind. Lily, however, had to make an appearance tonight. If she didn't, she was sure she would have let down quite a number of people. Lily gathered her composure the best she could, getting a bit of her old self. She needed people to see she was okay, even though there felt like there were a million things wrong.

Lily jumped in surprise as someone stuck their hands over her eyes. For a brief second, she panicked but, was able to calm herself rather quickly. She tilted her head slightly, wondering whom it was. Obviously that person wanted her to guess as he said so. Even when she felt someone's head rest on her shoulder she didn't know. The possibilites were easily narrowed down. Girls was stricken off the list. This guy was too short to be James or Ted, or even her father. So...all that left really was Tormund. Lo and behold it was.

Lily grinned but she didn't get a chance to say hello. The breath for the word was cut off by a kiss. Lily immediately blushed, and suddenly felt everyone was staring at them. She wasn't used to the kissing part, at least not in public...with a majority of her family around. Only a few seconds after Tor kissed Lily, she heard James yell her name. Her faced turned red, more red than her hair. She waved at James, unsure if he saw it because someone stepped in and blocked her view of him. "Well, that was a heck of a way to say hello," she said, referring to the kiss. She smiled nonetheless, glancing at his costume. Lily's remember Tormund explaining to her what his costume was exactly. Something related to some muggle movie saga or something...something dealing with Stars and a war in space? She couldn't remember exactly.

A drink? Did she want a drink? Lily's attention was completely distracted, as someone had moved, revealing Harry to Lily. Her eyes widened slightly, and her face went red again. Oh how she hoped neither Harry or James saw that little kiss. This would be the first time Harry really saw Lily and Tor together. This could be bad. Very bad, very soon. Lily told herself to stop freaking out. "Butter beer please," she said in reply. Lily nodded toward James and Harry's direction. "I'll be other there. I want to say hi to Daddy and James." Rather bravely, Lily kissed Tor's cheek before leaving him to get their drinks. She weeded her way through a short distance to reach James and company.

Lily approached James and gave him a great hug. She'd been doing that often, even since the whole duel thing. She felt she needed to make up for it, for putting him through the agony of he went through while she was unconcious in the hospital wing. His pain is what had made her feel the worst about the whole thing. Waking up to James crying over her face always reappeared in her mind. It wasn't just herself she had hurt, it was James, even Chasity. Stupid Lily, really stupid. Shaking that off, she greeted James, and everyone else - Penny and Ted, too. "Hey everyone," she said in an upbeat tone.

"No, I don't sing in front of other people. It's just not... who I am. " Chasity blushed again. "Too bad," Luc said with another smile. The Three Broomsticks was more crowded then Luc anticipated, and his date paused them at the entrance. Taking the opportunity, he looked around hoping to spot a certain blonde Slytherin girl, to no avail. Figures he thought to himself before glancing to Chasity. He didn't know her at all to determine whether or not they should continue in or not, if he had it his way they would just move on, this setting was in no way conducive to getting to know someone. She made the decision for them both indicating an open spot by the bar and Luc let her lead the way.

That was when he spotted Penny, in all her short skirted glory, giving him a small wave and a mouthed "Hi!", which he returned. She looked great, but Luc was a terrible judge on these things. He thought Penny looked great in sweaty Quidditch gear after all. Any comfort Luc gained from Penny's warm greeting began to freeze slightly around the edges when Luc's eyes shifted from Penny's familiar features to her presumed companion, James Potter. The other boy's choice of costume might have amused him on anyone else, but Luc determined that it only served to make James look even more like a dork. A dork with a staring problem it seemed, but that was nothing new. Let him get an eyefull, that had been the point of finding a date, right?

Quite a few people pulled James's attention away before Luc could get too annoyed him, including his famous father who was speaking with Penny. Was this the first time Penny was meeting her new boyfriend's parents? That was news, and Luc expected to hear about it later. If James deemed it all right for them to speak of course, Luc thought a touch bitterly, not that he actually cared whether or not it bothered James... he just wasn't looking to upset Penny any further. Once had been entirely too much for Luc's liking.

Luc shoved James's image away as he and Chasity finally reached the bar. "What would you like," he asked looking to his date again. Who needed to worry about self-righteous turds when they had a pretty blonde ballerina to attend to?
