23RD DECEMBER 2024
The Twenty-third was a day Ares had free until his boss had yelled down his phone. The Christmas season was finally picking up in Hogs Head, with the students and teachers free, meaning more stress for the boss and more stress for the bartenders. When the Lestrange turned up, the countertops had already been covered in the sticky debris of alcohol, fire whiskeys thrown to the side and the usual butterbeer here or there provided for the patrons who could no longer consume alcohol. In other words, being cut off. He nodded in the direction of his favourite colleague, his hand clapping against his back in greeting and in goodbye. He was officially taking over.
”Alright!” He called out to the patrons. ”In spirit of Christmas Eve and the wonderful day that is Christmas…Approaching us…Who’s next?!” The calling had been a mistake, the sudden uproar of drunk men and flirtatious woman made their way around the bar, leaving a smirk on the Lestrange’s lips. His fingers clicked, the spell in mind which poured the usually drinks for the people around him…Until dark eyes settled upon one person he simply had no clue of. Her brunette hair and soft faced seemed familiar, one he had probably seen in passing back at his time at Hogwarts. But anything was possible.
”And for you?” He murmured down to her, blocking out the sound of the yells from the other customers. ”What would you like? A Butterbeer? Firewhiskey in our finest glasses? Or perhaps a Muggle cocktail.” @tamara & hopefully this works !

BUT IT FEELS LIKE I'VE OPENED MY EYES AGAIN AND THE COLORS ARE GOLDEN AND BRIGHT AGAIN
Christmas was just around the corner, and part of Tamara couldn’t wait to spend time with her parents. However, the part that knew that she would see Tia made her stomach sink. Would this year be the same as last? Would they ignore each other or talk civilly in front of their parents? Would they makeup and put the past behind them? It was a toss-up with her sister, by the brunette was confident. She’d talk to her sister and see what happened, something that she wanted to do since graduating but had not had the nerve to do. Liam was always attempting to give her confidence to make amends, but each time she failed in actually following through.
That day, thankfully having off the next few days until after Christmas, she made her way to Hogsmeade to enjoy the festival that was happening there. She had always enjoyed it when she attended Hogwarts and hadn’t been back since. There was a time that Ethan had brought her to the festival, and now—he was dead. The past always hunted her, and she hated it, but today would be different. She made her way into the Hogs Head, a place that she wasn’t allowed inside when she attended Hogwarts except for Student day, and she looked around. A man started shouting and asked who was next, just as she walked towards the bar. And then, as she turned around, he was right there.
‘And for you? What would you like? A Butterbeer? Firewhiskey in our finest glasses? Or perhaps a Muggle cocktail.’ The brunette looked familiar, as in Hogwarts familiar, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. She smiled, “Firewhiskey—in whatever glass you fancy,” she said with a smile at him, the shouting of the customers growing louder and louder around them.

CHRISTMAS WASN’T A holiday Ares felt any cheer for, especially with his lack of parents and mental stability amongst his siblings. While he was the eldest and most certainly the wisest, Ares’ mind was still filled with insane things, killings, how he would enjoy to take the life of another. It felt weird, especially as he drew his parents to the verge of death until the collapse of the house sealed the deal. But the patrons reminded Ares he had no time to think otherwise, but instead click his fingers to wandlessly and wordlessly prepare drinks. With his attention on the familiar-looking female, he nodded in response to her request, a grin forming on his lips in regard to her joking comment.
”Firewhiskey in any glass coming up!” He called, waving off the complaints and the yells of the other patrons. As his palm lifted upwards as if he held something in his hand, in the background amongst him, shot glasses lifted until a special…thin but tall like glass was selected, the bottle of fire whiskey unscrewing itself and pouring the liquid within. Turning to face the customers yet again and while the counter was still wet, Ares leaned over, his dark shirt collecting wet stains as he rested his elbows upon it. ”Starting a tab or paying straight away?” He grinned, his middle finger, index and thumb coming close together so the completed fire-whiskey rested upon it.
Handing it over while he awaited her response, eyes rolled as Ares could no longer block out the noise of the awaiting patrons. ”Fine fine!” He called, taking the sudden orders of a few of them, waving his hands around, allowing the magic to pick up, so he could pour other drinks.

BUT IT FEELS LIKE I'VE OPENED MY EYES AGAIN AND THE COLORS ARE GOLDEN AND BRIGHT AGAIN
Christmas with the Finch family had always been a fun time, more so when RJ was still alive. After her older brother's passing, the twins had fallen out of their close bond and slowly Holidays turned into nightmares, for the most part. The two girls were civil towards one another, enough to make their parents feel comfortable with them both in the same room. Tamara hated it; she hated not being close to her sister anymore - she'd kill for their relationship to return to how it was when they were younger. Maybe she'd swallow her pride and attempt to fix things this Christmas, something that her boyfriend wanted her to do.
'Firewhiskey in any glass coming up! Starting a tab or paying straight away?' She could tell the guy was being flirty, what bartender wasn't, but before she could answer, the glass was handed over, and the patrons were yelling for drinks. "For now a tab," she yelled over the loud patrons, a smile, taking a sip of the firewhiskey.

IGNORING THE ANGRY-GROWING PATRONS, Ares focused his attention on the brunette still. She looked innocent and way too young tot start a stressful tab that she would probably regret later on. Nodding after handing over her drink, Ares eventually served everyone else, especially the patrons with the wandering eyes and low glasses. Thank God for wandless and non-verbal spells. It was only minutes before every patron was once again happy, dealing with the friends amongst them so the Lestrange could focus on the female once more.
His lips turned up into a smile as his elbow rested against the dry part of the counter, watching as the girl drank. ”Any plans for Christmas, young tab starter?” He asked with a grin. ”Family to see, a boyfriend to love…?”

Tamara was glad that the wizard was able to hear her words of opening a tab because she was so not going to scream again. Her throat already hurt from the drinking, and she did not want to yell again. He seemed to deal with the other customers rather quickly because he was instantly back to flirting with her. It felt weird; she hadn't been flirted with since she and Liam had become official. She was used to it at Hogwarts because she was someone that everyone had the attention of, but now that she was in a serious relationship that has been going for some time now, it felt...wrong.
'Any plans for Christmas, young tab starter? Family to see, a boyfriend to love...?' Tamara laughed, one to settle his ego before she answered his questions. "I'm heading to my parent's place in London. And hoping to make peace with my sister...we've had a rocky few years. And my boyfriend will be going to his family, but I'll surely see him afterward." She said as she swirled her drink around the glass, "What about yourself? Family to see? Girlfriend to love?" she added with a smirk as she took a sip of her drink.

WITH EVERY PASSING MINUTE, THE patrons only grew louder and angrier. It was sheer luck Ares was able to hear the small brunette, her normal sounding voice sounding like a mutter under these drastic conditions. But Ares had the situation under control, fill their glasses with beers, firewhiskeys and what-not before putting his attention to where it deserved to be. With the girl before him. She had striking features, truly and utterly adorable. He would break her heart in an instant. So it was a good thing she mentioned her boyfriend. ”Ooft. I feel you there with family.” He said, waving his finger to pour more alcohol into a half-empty glass for a nearby patron. Ares’ relationship with Andromeda had always been a rocky one, one moment the two bonded over taking lives with each other and then the next they were at each others throats. With Ariadne it was different, she either was disappointed in him or was glad to see him. She was too occupied with the Potter to care otherwise.
”No girlfriend unfortunately.” He responded with a pout. But Ares did have a son to spend Christmas with, and that was the plan after getting out tonight. Ares wouldn’t see the Pub until the 27th. Hopefully anyway. ”But who knows! Maybe this Christmas I’ll get lucky. I’m sure in the midst of all of these—“ Ares paused then, his voice raising to yell over the drunken patrons — ”Lovely people! Someone will eventually take me home!” This caused an uprise in the drunks amongst them, some spilling their drinks over one another while others whistled loudly. Ares chuckled then, lowering himself down to the lady. ”I’m too young to settle down. It felt just like yesterday I left Hogwarts.” Yesterday being…four years ago.

He seemed to understand where she was coming from with the rocky family bit, and she nodded her head. "Yeah-I'm the type of person that puts myself in danger, and after my older brother passed away...my sister started to hate that quality about me. We drew apart halfway through Hogwarts and haven't spoken much since we graduated. Holidays were always fun," she said with a soft laugh. She wasn't sure if she was oversharing or not, but she was sure he would tell her. "What about you? Got any overbearing siblings?" she questioned, taking a sip of her drink as she watched him.
He did move on to say that he had no girlfriend but seemed optimistic that it could happen this Christmas before turning his attention to the other patrons. Some seemed too drunk to realize what he said, but they all raised their glasses and shouted in a cheer, she rolled her eyes and laugh. "Oh? How long ago did you graduate? Because two years for me...feels like yesterday still," she said with a chuckle.

ARES WASN’T THE KIND OF person to listen to sob stories or stories that recalled old memories, but with a pretty person in front of him, he was willing to listen to anything. The brunette before him went on, describing how her sister started to hate her especially after their brother died. ”Ouch.” He found himself saying. He related fairly well, considering after Andy went batshit crazy, she hated him to a…certain extent. Now, they saw eye-to-eye, and Ares was glad. He had fun killing others by her side. ”You studied at Hogwarts?” He questioned, catching onto that detail. ”Surely I’ve seen you from there then.” He may have left four years ago, but the female didn’t seem to be that young, she was allowed entry inside the pub after all. ”Thank Merlin, no overbearing siblings. I think I’m typically the one to drive my sisters fucking crazy.” He chuckled, flicking his index finger upwards at a low pint cup of a patron’s beer. He nodded in a welcome after hearing a loud thanks.
Ares was the kind of sibling to always perform some sort of prank on them whether it was in the Lestrange Manor, or even in the Wizarding School. Given their different years, Ares still enjoyed the challenges. ”Only two years ago?” He repeated in question, the answer repeating his question said from early on. ”I graduated four years ago…If you don’t mind me asking, what house were you in Miss?” Maybe he could connect the dots and figure out who she was!

'You studied at Hogwarts? Surely I've seen you from there then.' She laughed, "That the only detail you caught?" she questioned in a teasing tone, amusement clear on her face. She nodded though, "Yup, started in 2011 and finished in 2023."
He mentioned being the one to drive his sister's crazy, and she laughed and nodded. "How many sisters do you have?" she questioned curiously, taking a sip of her drink.
'Only two years ago?' She nodded her head, listening to him mention graduating four years ago. She would have been in school at that time then, but why didn't she know who he was? Maybe different circles? 'If you don't mind me asking, what house were you in Miss?' It was then that she realized he didn't know her name, but instead of telling him right away - she answered his question. Perhaps her name would come to him. "I was a Hufflepuff."

WITH A GRIN, ARES NODDED. He caught onto other…details, but they were all irrelevant to their conversation at hand. ”Aw. You’re a little baby.” He teased, mocking her prior tone. ”I’m two years your senior. Good ol’ 2021.” and his class was filled with good people at that. He missed some of them sometimes…At her next question, Ares’ hand rose, index and middle rising to reveal the number two.
”Simply two. Ari and Andy. We’re a crazy bunch.” Crazy being killing your parents with one, taking on the last name of an adopted family and the other dating the enemies of said parents. Crazy bunch indeed.
”Hufflepuff…” He said, rising up from the bar so his fingers to rub at his chin. Her name was close to mind but so far as well, he didn’t really mingle well with others aside from his own house: Slytherin or Ravenclaw. ”I’m picturing your name to begin with a T. Am I close?”

The brunette rolled her eyes as the male called her a baby, and she scoffed when he revealed just how old he was. "You're only two years older than me...how am I, a baby?" The words came out with an amused tone, a smile upon her face. It didn't make much sense, but alas, she'd let him think whatever he wanted. She listened as he revealed he had two sisters, giving the nicknames for them, and she shrugged, "I don't know if I've met them. Any of them from my house or year?" she questioned. 'Hufflepuff...I'm picturing your name to begin with a T. Am I close?' A snicker left the brunette's lips, "You would be correct...How'd you know?"
