"Zakk?" Cissy asked the new guy, not waiting for Ben's reply. It was quickly turning into a friendly Hogwarts reunion. She wondered if Zakk was with Bella... Cissy was so out of the loop on these things.

Zakk opened his eyes wide at the bartender, how the hell did he.... "Oh my god. Ben?!" Zakk said with a grin, "How are you doing man?" Zakk took his hand, and shook it firmly.
Zakk heard another familiar voice call his name. Firewhiskey in hand, he turned around, seeing what appeared to be Narcissa. "Cissy?" Zakk said, a huge smile on his face. He walked over to her, embracing her in a hug. It had been a long time.

"Hey Man," he said and shook his hand. Watching him go over to Cissy he shook his head, realising that basically everyone had lost touch with everyone else. It was depressing in a way but he was happy that everyone was meeting up again.

Cissy smiled, wrapping her arms around Zakk's neck. It had been too long... Now she was finally getting to see all the people that had meant so much to her before. It was nice. "How have you been? I'ts great to see you again."

"I've been alright," Zakk said shrugging, "but look at you, you look more beautiful than I remember." He smiled at Narcissa, remembering all of the memories they had shared. He took a swig of firewhiskey, wishing Bella were there, she would love to see everyone again.

"Still quite the smooth talker. Thank you Zakk." Cissy smiled, motioning for him to take a seat. "Believe it or not, I missed you." She laughed jokingly. "I did though. All of you. Its crazy how time flies by..."

"I know what you mean, " he nodded. "Leaving school you think you'll stay in touch with people, but that never seems to happen." He picked up a firewhiskey, "To reunions!" He raised his glass in the air for a few seconds before lowering it to his lips and taking a few gulps.

Narcissa laughed, sipping her water though she wished it was something more. "I kept contact for a while, then I left for a while and everybody died out. God knows I'm not letting that happen again."

Recently she seemed to be spacing out more than usual, she'd blame it on the hormones, it was easier than worrying that she was losing her grip on reality again, .anyway.
Finally noticing the three new guys she looked from each other them, one was a guy she wasn't sure she knew, though she vaguely recognised him, he was probably from another house and yougner than them when they were at school, as for the guy who had commented on the alcohol, she recognised him, he hadn't changed since his last speech on formaldehyde making drinks better. Giving the boy a small smile, she looked to the last one and froze. It was Zakk. Gabby didn't bother greeting him or anything, last time they had spoken he had practically wanted to kill her, and she didn't want any trouble here.
Turning back to Ben she flashed him a pleasant smile. Wondering how she would enter the conversation again, after all she had been barely listening. It seemed the small pub was cold all of a sudden and she furrowed her brow above her dark, hooded eyes.

Zakk raised his glass in a toast along with Ben and Cissy. He looked around the room, wondering who else had wandered into the pub. Then he stopped, noticing Gabby sitting towards the side. He remembered how she had reacted to him getting stabbed. A flicker of anger rushed through his veins, but Zakk surpressed it quickly. They were all out of school, ten years older, why hold onto grudges? Zakk walked over to Gabby, giving her a sweet smile, "Hey stranger." he said to her. Knowing she didn't care for him much, Zakk was preparing for a dirty look and to walk away.

Finally noticing the new drink Ben had got her she picked it up and took a mouthful, it was hard to hide the look of boredom the drink gave her, couldn't the Wizarding world come up with something more exciting and none alcholic to serve in pubs? Of course she doubted Ben would stock it.
Footsteps echoed near her and she looked up at the same time as Zakk greeted her. Seeing his smile, she returned it pleasantly, there was no way she was going to act like a schoolgirl again, after all the animosity between them was usually directed towards Gabby after what she had, or actually, hadn't done, after Cassandra had gone wild.
"Hey, you."

"Right then, so this is where I spent all my time when I wasn't on the quidditch pitch. I became rather infamous at the Three Broomsticks. I bet they will serve me my damn drink now"
A fiery red head was explaining all this to a reporter from the Daily Prophet who was taking notes for an upcoming expose on the reclusive supserstar of the Holyhead Harpies as she walked in the door. She'd seen far fancier establishments, but her thoughts on the pub were summed up with three simple words
"Feels like home"

Giving Zakk another friendly smile, well the best she could muster as they had never been friends exactly, she raised her glass to her lips. Each time she seemed to forget how she disliked the Gillywater, and each time she vowed not to drink it again.
Hearing a voice she looked up to see a red haired and some stuffy looking prophet writer she recognised from one of her relatives funeral. It was of little interest to her and she didn't want to be bothered, though no doubt they were doing some boring article about Hogsmeade or something. Looking back at her friends, she tossed her hair, the girl was still chattering on about somethine, so Gabriella finally looked back at her, to try and distinguish why they were even here.
Finally something clicked, and instead of greeting Maj, she opened her mouth and laughed loudly, not in a cruel way, but in a highly amused one.

"Excuse me for a moment..."
She pulled the tab from the reporter, as well as his quill. The look of shock on his face from her brash behavior was priceless, what came next...even more so
"So who do I make this out this to?"
She raised a brow at Gabriella. She didn't recognize her, but apparently she thought that she wanted an autograph from the way she laughed when she had come in. She was probably in awe that Maj Weasley was gracing this establishment with her presence

At any other moment, the girls behaviour would have annoyed her intensly, but she was still amused at the thought that Maj fans apparently laughed at her whenever she entered a pub, maybe a laugh was a signal for an autograph, she couldnt help but wondered what was the signal for a photo together.
"Give it a rest Majelicka, we all know you're still the little alcoholic with a big head," the girl obviously didn't recognise her, which was weird, Gabriella looked pretty much exactly the same, but then again she often met old stupids she didn't recognise who had apparently been good friends of her. Hell she hadn't even recognised Maj at first, it was only because of the flaming red hair and unmistakeable inflated ego, that she did now.
