it was early. really early and there was no one in the cauldron but him, some other quidditch players who had been at the same party as him last night and some weird early risers looking too happy as they ate their breakfast. rocky had his head down on the bar as the bartender whipped up something that could cure a hangover apparently. he hoped so. while he knew wizards had a higher tolerance to alcohol that the normal person, he had taken that to the extreme and now he was suffering for it. though it was a post game party, he and the other team had come back to the cauldron for some drinks and he hadn't trusted himself to be able to apparate home he had crashed in a room. though sleep was eluding him so he figured a drink to sober him up enough to apparate home was in order. he yawned and rubbed his hand over his face, lifting his head as the glass was set in front of him. he winced at the noise and took the glass. "thanks" he said, his voice sounding like it was running over glass. he closed his eyes and downed the drink that looked like sludge to him and he pulled a face. "oh god .." he grumbled as it tasted as good as it looked. he hoped this was worth it. he took another mouthful and opened his eyes, daring to look behind him to see who was still around.

Wes had stuck around the Leaky Cauldron that night for one reason, and one reason only; his brother Rocco. They had both drank a lot as Wes hadn’t scheduled a Wasps practice until the next afternoon, but Rocco had taken the partying to a whole other level and had not been able to Apparate home just yet. He had stuck around, knowing his brother would soon stumble down from the room he had booked to try and sober up a bit before Apparating home. He wasn’t surprised when a little over an hour later Rocco came stumbling down the stairs looking for a cure to the hangover he clearly had. He smirked, watching his brother from the booth; he was sure he didn’t know he’d stayed to keep an eye out for him.

He stayed silent until Rocco looked around to see who was still around. Smirking, he got up and slid onto the stool next to him, and patted his shoulder. “Feeling alright little bro?” he asked, unable to hide a short chuckle.

rocco shouldn't have been surprised when wes appeared and patted him on the shoulder. his brother had always been one to look out for his younger siblings and he hadn't expected today to be any different. “Feeling alright little bro?” rocco put the glass down at wes asked the question and sat down next to him. before he could answer though a burp came from his chest and he patted his hand against his front lightly, pulling a face. "never better" he said with a cringe as he lifted the glass to drink a bit more of the 'cure'. he did think it was helping a little. he didn't feel like he was going to throw up all over the cauldron anymore and his head wasn't pounding as hard. "do i need to ask why you're still here?" he said with a small grin as he looked at wes. "don't you have practice?"

Wes couldn’t help but chuckle at Rocco’s predicament. “Of course you’ve been better; I saw the drinks you were pounding back earlier little bro,” he said, slapping him on the back. Lightly of course; he didn’t need Rocco blowing chunks all over the Leaky Cauldron. Wes ordered himself a water and drank half of it before turning his attention back to Rocco. “I’ve got practice in the afternoon; strategic placement of practices is key. And I’m also Captain so that does help with the influencing of schedules,” he said, giving a faux modest shrug. He had wanted to see Jade that night too of course, but she’d been busy. Ah well, another night he supposed. “What about you? Do you have practice early in this state?” he asked with a jaunty grin.

“Of course you’ve been better; I saw the drinks you were pounding back earlier little bro,” he grinned slightly as he rested his head on his hand and he turned it to look at his brother. he had taken the meaning 'pounding them back' a little too literally. the parts of the night he could remember, he didn't have an empty hand. he had always had a drink. "it's called a party for a reason" he said as he finished off the tar like drink that had been almost like a miracle. “I’ve got practice in the afternoon; strategic placement of practices is key. And I’m also Captain so that does help with the influencing of schedules,” he rolled his eyes and regretted it straight away. okay so he didn't feel sick and his hear didn't hurt as much but rolling the eyes sent him into what felt like his worst ever dizzy spell. he gripped onto the bar and closed his eyes, taking in a deep breathe before responding to his brother. "lucky you .." he said as he breathed out and hazarded opening his eyes. "oh good .. you're in one place" he said as he leaned his arm back on the bar. “What about you? Do you have practice early in this state?” he did not. thankfully. he had a feeling if he turned up to a practice like this his captain would have his hide. "not for the next few days .. "

Wes smirked. “Party and party too hardy are two different things,” he said teasingly. Of course Wes had had quite a few drinks himself, but he was always smart enough to substitute water every few times to keep himself hydrated. He had been in Rocco’s position when he was younger too many times to not know better by now. “Glad to hear I don’t look like I’m multiplying anymore,” he said with a wide grin. He laid a steady hand on Rocco’s shoulder. “Good, because you might need a very long nap very soon,” he said with a chuckle. He sat back and crossed his arms. “So, baby brother, any pretty girls at this party tonight” he asked, grinning devilishly.

“Glad to hear I don’t look like I’m multiplying anymore,” he grinned slightly. he was glad too, having more than one wesley in the world was scary to him. “Good, because you might need a very long nap very soon,” soon? he felt like he could go drop into his bed and sleep till he was a hundred. but he wouldn't. he might not have practice but he did have things to do. he had to go home and see his mum and then go to see his dad. it had been too long since he had seen them and since it was his first proper day off he was going to use it. plus he was sure his mother would be cooking and he wouldn't miss that for the world. "what do you mean soon? i'm ready now" he said as he chuckled slightly and rubbed his fingers into his eyes. “So, baby brother, any pretty girls at this party tonight” he raised a brow and straight away his thoughts went to ev. but he couldn't tell wes that. not yet at least. he shook his head slightly and took another mouthful of tar. "i didn't notice any. did you?"

Wes laughed a little at Rocco’s face. “Brother you should head on home. Your mum probably will have a nice lunch for you; you said you were planning on visiting her today last night,” he told him, then gave his brother a roguish wink. “You may want to take a shower to rid yourself of the boozy BO smell,” he teased. Wes had showered before coming down; though his head had been starting to hurt from the inevitable hangover, he knew Rocco could not have been able to tell from his demeanor.


Wes watched Rocco appraisingly as he took his time answering. “No? You didn’t notice any? You, Rocco Kit Layton, did not notice any pretty girls?” he asked, sounding mock astounded. That was certainly a little out of character for Rocco, especially when he had been drinking. “There were plenty of pretty girls at the party bro, but my attention is currently being held by a spicy gorgeous Jamaican lady on the Arrows.” He wasn’t exclusive with Jade obviously, and had no plans to push anything serious in the foreseeable future. Still, she provided him with more than enough spice and entertainment for him to actively be seeking out other partners regularly.
