 New Years Eve | Big Ben Music Festival

Toby could hardly believe his last year at Hogwarts was nearly halfway complete. The thought made him nervous and a bit sad. As much as Toby was ready to start his life out of school, the uncertainty of the future freaked him out. He often pondered what the near future would look like. The Ravenclaw wondered if he and Lusie would still be together. Merlin, he hoped so. Toby loved Lusie Windsor so much, at times it hurt. Was that normal to adore someone so much it was scary? Toby constantly struggled with trying to be good enough. He wanted her Mum and family to approve of him so badly. Deep down Tobias knew they probably preferred the princess to date someone with royal bloodline, but if there was one thing he knew, he knew he would do anything he could do to offer Lusie a world of happiness.

Tonight was New Years Eve and Toby acquired VIP tickets to a New Years Eve festival located at Big Ben clock tower in London. Crowds typically got the shy Ravenclaw nervous, especially after the tragedy with her brother Edmund, but he wanted to do something fun for Lusie. They both needed to let off some steam after how hectic their seventh year had been so far. All he had to do was be sure that they didn’t get into too much mischief while drinking. Typically they were good kids...but it wasn't always easy to behave, for liquored up, hormonal teenagers, who recently had a penchant for pushing their limits.

The night was off to a great start. Toby met Lusie at the Windsor castle, and after a bit of a stern talking to from her mother, he knew they had to behave tonight during their night out. Getting another scolding from the queen of England was the last thing he wanted. Hell, that would be a horrible start to a new year. Toby wanted her family to know that Princess Lusie was safe with him. Toby was already a bit drunk but he was confident that he could contain himself tonight. The alcohol helped calm his nerves a bit. Everything at the music festival was decorated festively to the T's with white lights, trippy projector screens, art installations and so much more. The music was bumping and there were happy faces bobbing around everywhere. 

Toby smiled down happily at his beautiful girlfriend, "Hey, gorgeous." he told her, "You got anyone to kiss at midnight?" he asked her in a dorky tone, waggling his eyebrows in a rhythmic dance on his forehead while grabbing her hands lovingly to keep her warm.

With everything bad, or upside down, or crazy in her world, it was all balanced out with Toby. He was solid and she knew that he would always be there when she needed someone, which it felt like she did more and more often after the events of the summer. She couldn’t imagine going through this with anyone else and was entirely grateful for the amount of patients he had shown her. She knew she wasn’t always easy to be around lately but she appreciated that he was.

Lusie had never celebrated New Years Eve like this before. Usually, if she went home for the holiday it would mean a night in with her mum and usually Edmund. They might have something a little more fun for dinner and stay up to watch the fireworks in the distance from one of the top balconies in the palace. This was her first time going out for the holiday, but surprisingly she wasn’t anxious about it. She was starting to actually enjoy her experiences at parties like this. Toby had managed to get the tickets this time, which was a fun surprise. She knew she likely would have got them given her royal status, but it was nice to not have to use it. It wasn’t entirely something she liked to flash about. He met her at the palace and then they made their way to the party together.

It was even louder than the other clubs, but she supposed that was to be expected given the weight of the night. It was amazing and they had a good time so far. The way he looked at her made her giggle and she rolled her eyes at how dorky he was. It was something she loved about him the very most. “We’ll see if someone can win my affections.” she teased, leaning up to give him a little kiss on the cheek. “should we get drinks?” she asked looking around to see what else she might like to do. “And then maybe take a lap around and scope it out?” she suggested.

Toby bobbed his head up and down proudly at his darling girlfriend, "So that means I have a chance.." he sang while waggling his eyebrows with satisfaction, planting a kiss on her lips with a goofy smile. Toby grabbed her hand and they laced fingers in agreement to her suggested plan, "A drink and stroll sound like a great plan to be." he smiled, starting toward the beverage cart. "What would you like to drink, m'lady?" he asked, following with a sly but playful smile, "Are we gonna get weird tonight?" he asked with excited wider eyes and a chuckle. They had their fair share of boozed up nights on the town, it was more fun than he thought he'd ever have out in public. Most likely because he was with Lusie. Alcohol helped soothe his nerves while allowing him to let loose. The happy couple stepped up to the next spot in line for drinks.
