PARTAYY ~ OPEN TO ALL
Glenda pressed her lips together to produce a small laugh, brushing the old wizard's shoulder in front of her in a warm manner as he laughed at his joke. It was a rather amusing story about a niffler and a mackled malaclaw, but the night was starting to wear her down. Any WWN party, whether it be under the façade of a birthday bash or not, was always apart of the public relations machine. Tonight was certainly no exception, though it did give her an excuse to wander (and drink) as much as she pleased. Under that pretense, she gave a quick pat to her new acquaintance and walked off before he had a chance to contest.

There was also this aging business that she couldn't help avoid either. Turning older when she already felt ancient was a strange feeling; it felt doubly so every time another announced her general youth. Twenty-three and already so popular! Twenty-three with such a name! Twenty-three, what a bright future laid ahead! They all conveniently forgot to realize that she was still twenty-two, and really nothing of their kind words made any sense to her, but what could she do if they wanted to tell her these things? It was good that she had perfect her smiling and nodding years ago.

This party wasn't all that bad, honestly. The WWN had actually invited some of her old friends, in addition to people she was sure she had never met in her life, but that didn't bother her. It was.... nice. And a bit frightening. Well, frightening for the prospect of one person, which Glenda still wasn't sure if she was actively or passively avoiding after all these months without knowledge of whether or not he was even here... it did not matter! She was an adult. They were adults, there was no reason why---

Merlin he was here. There he was! Was she losing feeling in her legs? Feeling very much caught, Glenda stood frozen, even unable to think of going about executing a quick get away. Maybe he wouldn't see her, or felt just as awful as she had been feeling and would continue to prolong their eventual remeeting! That was a pretty awful thing to say about your best friend, wasn't it?

She let out an excited squeal as she realized who she'd stumbled into and threw her arms around him. "Jeremiah!" she said excitedly before pulling herself away from the quick embrace. Drea very much enjoyed catching up with old friends, and that feeling was only multiplied when she was under the influence.

"I'm having fun, of course I'm alright!" she replied happily. Her previous destination was totally forgotten at the appearance of her old classmate, and she balanced herself back on the barstool before patting the empty one next to her.

"How have you been?" she asked curiously, nodding at the bar tender's inquisitive stare and hand hovering over a glass. As if it were a question, of course she was going to have another drink with her new-found company!

"Fun." Jeremiah repeated a bit derisively as he took the empty bar stool next to her. At the very least it would interesting.

"I've been well enough. This change with the season has messed with my vacation plans just a bit, but now that the season start is only a week away, I'm excited." He looked around the room spotting the other quidditch players. "How about you? Anything going on that I haven't already read about in the papers?"

She smiled, wondering what sort of vacation plans he'd had made up that got squandered. Drea had never done lots of world exploration, but between her dislike of apparition and her ability to have fun so close to home...it had never become a priority.

She shrugged. She knew that the only thing the press saw her as was a drunken whore, so anything he'd read in the papers likely had nothing to do with things that really happened in her day to day. But maybe it was better that way; she didn't have to worry about them prying through things. "New teammates, trying to figure out the dynamics of the Arrows for this season," she said calmly.

"But you've probably already read all of that. OH! Dom and Em had another baby in March...proud aunt for a third time!" The excitement in her voice was palpable during that last statement. She didn't know if she would ever have children of her own, but she loved to spoil her brother's babies. They kept her...grounded, in a way, during family functions. "Angelina is getting so big, too. Nearly six years old and already a pro on her trainer broom."

Jeremiah couldn't help but smile at the mention of a baby. He loved children, so much so that he willing put up with Seth Wadcock to volunteer with his charity organization (that he didn't believe for a second he came up with on his own). Being an only child, he didn't have any nieces or nephews of his own, so he was just a little bit jealous of Drea. "Boy or girl?" he asked taking a sip of his drink.

"I hope she's flying on a Nimbus, they are the best you know." he said with a small smirk not able to help himself. It is after all what he started out on.

"Another boy," she replied with a smile. "He's so cute, too." She laughed at his comment about Angelina's broomstick. "You know, I'm not entirely sure if it's a Numbus or not, but I'll be sure to fix that if it isn't."

She let out a content sigh, before turning to stare at him. "So! You said...you had vacation plans, right?" Drea asked cautiously, hoping she wasn't misremembering. "Or...there were some before the switch up?" Drea wasn't exactly pleased with the shortened off season either, but she hoped that it was only for this season and things would settle down for the future.

	"Let me know and I'll get you a good deal." Jeremiah said with a grin. He swirled the contents of his glass with the straw. "Ah, yes vacation. I was going to go to Budapest. I was up for an exotic adventure but alas. Not all is lost though, I usually only leave town because I get to bored during the off season. What about you? New schedule ruin any plans for you?"

"I know all about exotic adventures," she replied, a wicked grin on her face, as all her decent thoughts and random inklings of buying her niece a new broom went out the window. She downed her drink in an attempt to crush any remaining amount of nerves that may try and poke up in this situation. The bartender, of course, went right to work on mixing her a new drink (this boy was going to get a big tip from Drea for sure, especially if he remembered this courtesy every time).

"Not really. I usually find things close to home to keep off the boredom during the off season," she replied with a shrug. It wasn't as if her schedule and personal preferences weren't obvious to others; surely everyone in the wizarding community knew by now that Drea Johnson liked to party and fool around. "Besides, we've got first bye week this year, it's as if the Arrows have drawn a winning lottery ticket in easing into the season."

"So do you think the Wasps have a chance at the cup this season?" she asked curiously, taking a sip of her new drink and leaning in closer to him.
