April 18, 2026 Nottingham's insistence that she would cover the cost of the pizza if she were unable to finish it helped slightly, even if she did feel she was being pressured into it. Sarah knew that there was no way that she would be able to devour all of that within the time limit, and that was without having laid eyes on the pizza. Maybe it wouldn't have been a problem at the full moon, but she didn't have that option. Just from having seen what was on the other pizzas according to the menu, all of everything meant no shortage of olives and mushrooms and meat and cheese and who in Merlin's name knew what else.
Begrudgingly, Sarah sat down, determined not to fight it. She would give it her best try so that she wouldn't be seen as having chickened out, but that would mean eating about the equivalent of an ordinary slice of pizza, maybe two. She certainly wasn't going to have her name up on the wall of fame—not that she had seen anyone else's up there, either. At least, she thought, there was an ironic bright side: Burke would have no trouble spotting her with the paper chef's toque on.

April 18, 2026 Zeke, like Finn Nottingham, had already been through the pizza-making process. He was doing it solely because he knew that it was a gimmick, but he got a kick out of it. He also found that he wasn't half bad at making pizza, either, so that gave him a decent career option if being in Magical Interpol didn't work out—not that he actually wanted to spend his time making pizzas other than once in a blue moon.
He was on his way out the door when he noticed that James Potter was chatting with Finn, and he nodded to them both since the personal pizza box in his hands made it too difficult to wave. "Hey," he greeted them. "Y'all should try the Sweet Caroline." Just going off of the aroma of the barbecue sauce, it smelled really good.

▲ Ana didn’t know rock and roll? At all? Finn stared at her incredulously for a moment, then remembered that not all magical people were as in depth with the no-majs as she was. The UK was such a weird divergence from home, and also sort of funny because of how the US used to be when it came to magic and no-majs. “That’s a good choice,” Finn added as Ana decided on the Unforgivable Cheeses. “See you around.”She barely turned around to watch Sarah’s torture unfold when another person approached her. James Potter, looking for his sister. She couldn’t recall if she knew what the younger Potter looked like, though she was weirdly knowledgeable about the rest of the family. Taking the reigns from Harry when it came to the Order and then her inability to keep things functioning was still a sore spot for her. Despite that, it hadn’t seemed like James held any animosity towards her for it. Nor did Harry for that matter. “What’s she look like? I can keep an eye out for her for sure.” As long as she was still near Sarah’s attempt at the giant pizza that was currently being levitated over a crowd of people and towards the table. With the onlookers surging in size around the table, another familiar face, Zeke, arrived, asking if either of them had tried the BBQ pizza yet. “Dude, isn’t it good? I think I had that...last week? Maybe the week before,” Finn said excitedly. “James, what have you had so far? I’m basically halfway down the menu now, so I’m trying to get an idea of what one I should eat next.”@tag ● ### ● Song by Artist MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined, To believe they never would April 18, 2026 Sarah didn’t look amused and James also resisted the urge to comment. That was one person he didn’t ever choose to interact with, he’d heard the story and knew she’d spent time in the prison before it fell, so he would stay out of her way. But, it seemed she was about to be occupied by some pizza challenge. ”She’s about this tall.” James motioned to somewhere mid-chest to indicate her height. Somehow Albus was barely taller than her and James had gotten the rest of the height. It was odd, normally the younger brother was taller than the older in most families. But, it seemed he failed to get any of their father or any Weasley’s height. ”And very red hair.” Very Weasley-red hair, if one could describe it.
The crowd around them was growing, but more to watch Sarah and this challenge. James wondered if anyone else would join with their own pizza. Had he not already planned on meeting Lily here he might have joined. Someone else approached them and James looked and smiled. ”Hey Zeke.” James had met Zeke at work, though their departments were different it was all on the same Law Enforcement floor. ”I enjoyed the Paradise Pizza City and Burnin’ For You.” And that was the extend of what he had tried. But Zeke showed them the pizza he had gotten and that one looked amazing. His eyes went toward the box Zeke was holding and slowly he was able to start smelling whatever topping combination that was. ”What’s in that one? Smells amazing.” James asked curiously of the Sweet Caroline pizza.

April 18, 2026 If Jimbo Blishwick didn't already have a loyalty card for frequent customers, he was missing out on a good opportunity. Finn was quick to mention how good the Sweet Caroline pizza was, and Zeke knew that he had made the right decision in making one for himself. He didn't quite have the stamina to work his way through the menu in the way that Finn was clearly doing, though he had to applaud that level of dedication.
"Blishwick should put you to work," he chuckled to Finn. "Get that employee discount."
James, meanwhile, had good things to say about the Paradise Pizza City and Burnin' for You pizzas, but asked what was in the Sweet Caroline.
"Yeah, the Sweet Caroline is the barbecue chicken pizza," Zeke answered. He would have also mentioned that it wasn't too hot, but that didn't seem to be a problem for James, considering that the Burnin' for You had jalapeños on it. "I didn't know Blishwick knew that song, honestly, man," he laughed. "There's gotta be a No-Maj-born working here."

▲ The pizzas that James had eaten weren’t ones that she had gotten to yet, but a quick glance at them on the menu told her she would like them. It didn’t really matter to her as long as it was pizza and it wasn’t Chicago-style, which was also on her list. She was hoping to avoid that one for as long as she could, as she really didn’t like it. Namely because it wasn’t pizza, and also because it was always scalding hot. Paradise Pizza City seemed like a good choice if she changed her mind before ordering number three. Had she not had Sweet Caroline, that would have been the one to go to next. “BBQ chicken goes down so well, especially this one,” Finn reminisced, hoping she wouldn’t drool in the process. All of these pizzas were worth salivating over. Except the Chicago one. When it came to the naming schemes, Finn shrugged. “Doesn’t this dude match people together or something for a living? He probably has to know all sorts of stuff in order to do that.” The first time she had seen one of the advertisements for the matchmaking business in the Daily Prophet, she had been surprised to learn that such a thing existed over here. How Blishwick’s process actually worked, was unclear, but if he was knowledgeable enough to name over twenty pizzas with song names and make puns out of them, he clearly knew what he was doing. “Or you could be right, Zeke. Always forget that.” And she was one, too! @tag ● ### ● Song by Artist MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined, To believe they never would April 18, 2026 James chuckled at Zeke’s comment toward Finn. He supposed that they would be more familiar with pizza than himself and that they wouldn’t be the last Americans he ran into while he was here today. ”If you ever get tired of Law Enforcement, you can go into pizza quality control.” James suggested. Not that the department would want to lose her, every member brought something to the table--when they could find the table, as in Claire’s case. Zeke explained that the pizza was barbeque chicken and James swore his mouth started watering and his stomach might have growled but it was hard to hear over this crowd. ”I think I might try that one this time, it depends what my sister wants--I promised her i’d buy her a pizza.” It had been the talk among students apparently as of late.
But apparently, it was a song. James wasn’t a stranger to music or even muggle music but his knowledge was certainly not as extensive as some others. But, Finn had a point--Blishwick probably had tons of knowledge stored away for use in his businesses, whatever they were. ”Next time I see you in the office Zeke, you’ll have to show me some of these songs.” James requested. Slowly he was getting used to his converted muggle devices, with the help of his cousin Harper. ”Harper says I can get one of those music things--it looks like the phone but it’s not a phone. Erm--what are they called?” The name escaped him, but he remembered the look in his grandfather’s eyes when he first held one and naturally tried to figure out how it worked.

April 18, 2026 James mentioned that Finn could go into quality control for Blishwick, though that didn't seem like a bad gig, in truth. It probably wasn't as physically demanding as working in law enforcement, Zeke considered, but competitive eating was considered a sport to some people back in the non-magical world.
"Just don't be like one of those people who tries to eat seventy-something hot dogs on the Fourth of July," Zeke cautioned Finn then.
As for the Sweet Caroline pizza, James sounded interested in it but mentioned that that also depended upon what his younger sister wanted. Zeke understood. His own younger sister would have been fascinated by the place, he thought, though his family's being non-magical and all the way back in Georgia meant that was sort of out of the question. James also said that he would have to show him some of those songs the next time they saw each other in the office, and Zeke nodded. He could do that.
It was more amusing for him when James brought up one of those "music things" that weren't a phone and how Harper, whom Zeke knew was one of James's cousins, had mentioned that he could get one of those.
"What?" Zeke laughed in disbelief, nearly dropping his pizza but regaining his hold on it quickly. "An MP3 player or something? Man, you sound like my grandma. I haven't had one of those since I was in elementary school!" They didn't have much in the way of "retro" appeal, either, or at least not the ones that were essentially smartphones but without the phone capabilities. "You can do all that on an app. It's all on the internet. I'll show you sometime."

▲ She already had gotten tired of law enforcement. That was why she was over here and not back in New York City. Finn smiled anyways, and shrugged, “It’s my second calling. What can I say? Blishwick makes good enough pizza to get the stamp of approval from a real New Yorker.” The only problem was that being an official mascot didn’t pay nearly anywhere close to what she was being paid as an auror. The hazard pay alone was more than Blishwick would probably ever cough up. If she ever ended up seriously injured, it was an option though. “I went to that once!” she exclaimed when Zeke brought up the hot dog eating contest. “Like, I’m a glutton and all, but what those guys can do is absolutely sick. In both awesome and gross ways.” Just thinking about the way Joey Chestnut, the long time hot dog eating champion, put those things down his throat was absolutely disgusting. And now she was watching a giant pizza being lowered onto the table in front of Sarah. It brought a brief wave of nausea over her, absolutely not helped by the fact that she had already devoured two pizzas already. Composing herself by looking away from the table, she caught the tail end of Zeke explaining MP3 players to James. Now that wasn’t a word she had heard in a while. All of her music was on her phone or laptop now, and even that could be brought into the Ministry after the most recent advancements. It was wild. Turning towards James as she felt the ping of sickness again, she decided that she needed to fully step away from the table. “James, I’ll look for your sister if you want to stay here. If Sarah gets pissed that I’m gone, tell them to put it on the Sheriff’s tab. They’ll know what that means.”@tag ● ### ● Song by Artist MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined, To believe they never would April 18, 2026 James looked curious at Zeke, wondering why in the world someone would eat that many hot dogs at once. James liked the food, but not that much if he was being honest. Finn joined in and James looked at her with the same expression. ”Don’t they get sick from doing that?” Sometimes James felt more like his grandfather, struggling to understand things such as this since it wasn’t typically part of the magical community. Maybe in the states, it was, but he was curious about it. Still, that was way too many hot dogs at once for his liking.
Zeke seemed rather amuse at James’ lack of knowledge in such matters, but he didn’t mind. His family was magic through and through so he was still learning a lot and was used to such comments. ”Oh, you can put the songs on the phone?” James pulled out his phone to see if he had an app for that, and also to see if he had any messages. Nothing urgent, so he would check them later. There was some commotion in the crowd and a large pizza appeared in front of Sarah and she looked anything but excited or pleased about it.
Finn then offered to find Lily for him, to which he wished her luck but was grateful considering the crowd. ”Appreciate it, Finn.” He was tempted to call her ‘The Sheriff’ as her implied nickname. But when she walked off James looked at Zeke again. ”Can you show me? Or is it a long process?”

April 18, 2026 Lo and behold, Finn said that she had actually attended one of those hot dog eating contests once. Zeke wasn't sure how anyone could actually manage to do that, though a blue-haired young woman whom he recognized from the Ministry, he noticed, was seated in front of a massive heart-shaped pizza at that very moment.
It was about that point that James asked if people got sick from doing that, and Zeke shrugged his shoulders a bit. He would have thought so. "Apparently, the rules are that they have to keep it all down," he laughed, not that he wanted to try his own luck there.
As Finn offered to go find James's sister for him, that left the two of them to discuss MP3 players. They could, in fact, put songs on a phone—and very easily, at that. "Can you show me? Or is it a long process?" James asked.
"Sure," Zeke agreed, shifting the way in which he was holding the pizza box—luckily only personal-sized—so that he could get out his phone. "So most people don't even bother downloading songs and stuff anymore," he admitted. "They just stream them." Realizing that he probably needed to explain that more, he continued. "So, uh, think of it like this. The songs exist almost in the air, or like magic," he said, "but it's all on demand, through the internet."

▲ James seemed fine with her retrieving his sister, so Finn took that opportunity to free herself from the confines of the crowd for a moment or two. Just being away from the heart-shaped pizza Sarah was being subjected to worked for her. Normally she would think that the smell would get to her, but years (and most recently, daily) of pizza eating had hardened her stomach from feeling sick by it. Swallowing almost a hundred hot dogs did her in though. From James’s brief description of the youngest Potter, the girl wasn't tall, but had vibrant red hair. That was perfect because Finn was always drawn to the brighter colors. Exactly why she had sported her own red for as long as she had. She would have killed to have it natural though, and the few family members of the Potters she had met over the last few years, it seemed like the majority of them were redheads as well. It was quite the gene to have. The only problem with her proposed plan was actually finding someone inside the restaurant. There were so many people now, more entering than leaving, and she was sure there were a few like her going back for seconds or even thirds. By the time one got through this line, they'd probably be ready for another meal anyways. The only saving grace was that there didn't seem to be many redheads, and Finn’s scan of the establishment found one almost immediately. As she pushed her way through the crowd (and back towards the entrance) she wracked her brain for what the girl’s name was again. Laura? No, maybe Lilith? “Lily?” Finn asked the girl as she tapped her on the shoulder. She certainly looked like a Potter, and the way she turned around made it seem like Finn got her name correct. “James wanted me to get you. He's over-” A brief turn around made her realize she had moved considerably far from where she had started. “Well, he's over there somewhere waiting for you.” Finn wanted to walk her back, but the sudden movement and two pizzas were really starting to weigh down on her stomach. Instead, she moved off to the side and found an open chair to sit at. @tag ● ### ● Song by Artist MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

▲ COMPLETE MADNESS! The scene at Blishwick’s Super Awesome Pizza Palace Place was absolutely bonkers insane and the second Lily had seen it from down the street, she screeched at the top of her lungs. The plan had been to meet James there. A pizza was on him, and who was she to turn down free food? Especially one of these pies. It had become clear over the last few weeks that this was the place to be: the bee's knees, the hippest, hottest, bestest restaurant in Hogsmeade. Heck, maybe even Diagon Alley too! Her energy levels were on par with what a gerbil amped up on Red Bull would look like, and she had already been told to shut up or slow down with her talking multiple times since leaving the castle, once by Steve Kolstad, who usually didn't mind her endless blabber. Apparently even he had a limit. But know who didn't? James! So Lily had finagled her way quickly through the line, chatting up randos left and right and then using that as her ticket to move further and further through the queue, most people none the wiser. That was their fault for not paying attention though! She had places to be, people to see, and pizza to eat, all on her brother’s dime. She didn't have time to wait in a silly line for hours or whatever. When she finally got inside though, shiz got real. There were even more people, an even longer line than she had realized, and no James in sight. It made her tiny little werewolf brain buzz, first with an overwhelming anxiety, which was quickly replaced with another burst of endorphins about how freaking cool it was going to be to make pizza and force her brother to pay for it. She had already planned to load hers with tons of meat, because why not? A tap on her shoulder and the sound of her name at the same time had Lily turning around, where a lady with even brighter red hair than hers was. She said James was looking for her, and that he was...somewhere on the other side of the restaurant. Lily gave her two thumbs up, “Thanks dudette!”, and then hopped by her, completely forgetting to ask her name, laser-focused on finding James. Sliding by groups waiting for pizzas to finish and tables covered in half-eaten pizzas, she eventually saw her brother standing in a group around a booth. Crouching into a hunting position, she swiftly moved up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Where's my pizza?!” she screamed. @tag ● ### ● Song by Artist MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined, To believe they never would April 18, 2026 James couldn’t fathom eating that many hot dogs, nor would he want to. The nausea and pain from such an event wasn’t worth it, even with magic possibly providing a cure. Maybe magic wouldn’t even help with seventy hot dogs sitting in your stomach unless there was some stomach-expanding charm he didn’t know about. Actually, that sounded like more of a curse so perhaps one of the Cursebreakers he knew would know. Zeke was happy to help James and he unlocked his phone to look through his apps. The comparison to magic, implying that it was there but perhaps not visible, worked well enough when describing streamed music.
”Oh, so I can’t listen to them if I get disconnected?” Being dependent on the network wasn’t entirely bad, so far he hadn’t had much trouble with connection but he used his phone for few things still. The commotion near them was completely ignored and James’ focus was now on this music thing on his phone and so much so that he didn’t notice Sarah and the contest or the approaching young wolf behind him. A pair of arms grabbed him from behind and at first his mind instinctively went defensive but then he heard the screaming voice louder than the crowd. Lily.
”Lils! I’ve been looking for you everywhere.” James removed her hands and turned around to greet and smile at his sister. ”Well, I didn’t know what you wanted. Have you looked at this menu? You’d get a kick out of these names.” James handed his menu to her so she could review it and make her choice. But, then he turned slightly since he was standing in between Zeke and Lily now. ”Lily--you know Zeke?.” He had no idea if they’d met at all, even though they were about the same age. ”Oh--did you see someone is attempting that pizza challenge?” James looked back over at where Sarah was sitting with the rather large pizza.

April 18, 2026 "Oh, so I can't listen to them if I get disconnected?" James wondered.
That was honestly more complicated than it should have been, Zeke thought, though James wasn't entirely wrong. "You can," he replied, "but the companies usually make you pay for a subscription for features like that. You can still purchase stuff, too, though streaming is easier most of the time."
As Finn had promised, she must have found Lily. At least, Lily had clearly found James. Zeke hadn't been in school with her for that long, but he knew that he would have recognized her voice. It was hard not to, especially when she had a tendency to goof off in class. That might have been why he had heard that she had been held back in school for another year.
James asked if his sister knew him and also pointed out the ongoing pizza challenge. Zeke looked back over to see that the blue-haired woman was taking her sweet time as the clock counted down from that initial ten-minute mark.
"Yeah," Zeke nodded to James. "We've met. Hey, Lily," he said in greeting, though part of him wondered if it was a bit awkward for her to have been held back or if she was used to it.
