“I was mostly talking about how muggles say it’s the most magical place on earth.” Jim replied with a laugh as he hadn’t been trying to compare them in terms of levels of fun. ”It also appears you didn’t have much fun at hogwarts. I had plenty. Which is probably why you had become minister of magic and I just work with patents.” Jim joked for a moment drink in hand as he teased her. He didn’t know what Vic’s school years were like but it might have been true. Professors had loved to stress work and studying over all else to get a better career in their adult years. Jim took the middle ground having some of both. Vic explained how the Disney plan would go down and he laughed for a moment unsure just how much was a joke from the former minister. “I could always just put on a fake cast and tell people I broke my leg. Unless you’re that committed to the act.” Jim replied as Vic had frowned for just a moment.
Vic went over her wingman plan after he had joked about it for a moment. Coming to the realization that she would need to rework her idea of talking about his lips. Also saying she wasn’t sure she would want another girl sniffing around. She was getting pretty drunk at the moment and he was mildly buzzed. Still he knew what that might have meant but doubted she meant it the same way in her drunken state. ”Please, you’re just worried you’ll loose your drinking buddy if I got a girlfriend somehow.” Jim joked, and shook his head. “You’re not getting rid of me that easily.”
Jim busted out laughing as Vic tried to explain he was still special and she would get him some special hat as a way to prove it. “I think I’ve seen those. It’s shaped like a cone and says dunce on it.” Jim joked as he had only been kidding.
Time went by as Jim started drinking a little harder. He felt bad having already beaten Vic in his mind as she seemed to have gotten drunk very early on. Still she was able to walk and talk on her own. She wasn’t helpless which was an admirably trait, if anyone wouldn’t be helpless even when totally drunk it would be Victoire. Vic found a friend while most of the inn had all started to celebrate for their own reasons. Some sharing the reason they had come, that they had made it through the dragons attack. She went off talking with them for a bit while Jim sat there alone drinking. Eventually finding some people to talk to at a corner of the inn. Quickly getting wrapped up in a conversation on Quidditch and which teams were doing awful or better.
The conversation just got further off the rails as the few of them kept drinking, Jim getting ever more drunk. One of them kept claiming they could get with any woman at the inn and Jim laughed saying yeah right. Before long Jim ended up dared with the offer of paying for a round or getting himself a free drink if he could kiss a woman here. Normal sober Jim would have just laughed it off but drunk Jim was far more competitive than that. Most things sounded like a good idea based on how drunk Jim might be. ”Fine! You’ll see.” He proclaimed his words mildly slurring. As he looked around he didn’t really know how this was going to work, he didn’t see anyone but he was drunk and over-confident because of it.
Seeing Victoire looking around he got an idea, it was a bad idea and if he was sober he would have punched himself for it but drunk Jim thought it was just perfect. Walking over to Vic as she was back to talking to her friend once again he spoke up. ” Hey, Vic I need a favor.” Jim asked his words only slurring slightly. As she looked over toward him Jim quickly kissed her. Lasting for a few seconds there were cheers from the other side of the bar. Pulling away Jim just laughed, face now very red. ”S-Sorry, they dared me to kiss the prettiest girl at the inn for a drink.” Jim didn’t exactly sober up but now partially realized just how bad of an idea this might have been. “You can have the drink though in exchange for not slapping me.” He offered as an apology words still slurring.

Vic nodded as he said he was referencing how Muggles called Disney parks the 'most magical places on earth'. He observed that she didn't have much fun at Hogwarts, and she nodded at that too, "well, I'm not going to lie, that's true. I was pretty focused on studies. Even broke up with my boyfriend seventh year so I could focus better," she admitted. "And hey, working with patents is important!" she countered. He suggested that he just FAKE a broken leg for Disney, unless she was committed to the act. She pursed her lips, cocking her head to the side. "Let me think on that. Decide how 'method' I want to be," she suggested. When they spoke about him flirting with another girl, he said that she was just worried about losing her drinking buddy and that she wouldn't get rid of him that easily. "Good," she responded, another one of her signature short and quick nods following. Then he busted out with laughter as she tried to convince him he was still special. At the mention of the 'dunce' cap she raised an eyebrow, smirking. "I bet you got that hat a lot in school," she challenged. Vic had slowed down on her drinking a little as the night went on, just because she was already very drunk. She was a lightweight, after all. At this point her and Jim were probably even in the buzz, not that she was tracking. When she was looking for him she finally spotted him and turned back to her friend, "my friend I came with is over there, I'm going to get back to hi-" she was cut off by Jim asking for a favor. She turned toward him and instantly his lips were on hers. It took her a second to realize he was kissing her, but she started kissing back, not realizing her hands started to reach for him too. But before they made contact he broke the kiss, apologizing and talking about a dare and the prettiest girl. She let her outstretched hands finish their path and land on his shoulders. "I may still slap you," she joked, eyes narrowing, having a hard time focusing on what she was saying. She pressed her hands against his shoulders, contemplating for a moment. "Okay, I've decided I won't slap you," she nodded, but since she was so plastered her nod lasted for a really long time. Her friend laughed, patting Victoires back to spring her back to reality. "Well I guess now I can tell the girls your lips really are soft," her words were slurred too, and she nodded even more until finally stopping. Her eyes shifted to the bar where the people where that made the bet with Jim, then turned back to Jim. "You should make them buy you a turkey instead."@jim

(Stole the gif =P)
Vic went on to explain that she had been the type to focus on her studies more than anything else. Even going so far as to break up with someone just for more time to study. Jim guessed that proved his professors at the time right about it leading to a better career. “Wow, Yeah it seems like you took your studying very seriously. I feel bad for the person who got outdone by whatever book you were studying from at the time.” Jim joked playfully for a moment. Surprised she had gone that far but still he had heard that story before while in school. The up coming N.E.W.Ts made students so do all kinds of things. Some studied harder, others tried to find ways to cheat and almost always got caught and the rare few just decided not to care. Vic defended his job and Jim just smiled, “I know I’m just saying compared to being a minister of magic studying definitely got you further than me just having fun and studying only a little.” Jim explained, he wouldn’t have said his job was that important. Still it had a purpose. “I can’t wait.” He replied to the comment on seeing just how real she wanted to make his broken leg act.
“Not all of us could be the nerdy book smart types.” Jim teased as Vic explained he probably got a dunce cap a number of times while in school. “Yet we see who came out on top so I guess I deserved it. Still it might been worth it a number of times.” There was no actual hat to wear for a punishment at Hogwarts. Instead professors loved to find their own inventive detentions which Jim learned a few of.
There was a moment after the kiss that Jim braced for a possible slap. Still even with thinking for a moment that it might have been a bad idea he didn’t actually regret it. More the pulling away from the kiss so soon. His drunken over confidence thought he could have gotten a few more seconds out of it. While he had told himself he had only done it just to win the dare there was the idea in his head that he might want it to happen again. Now he knew he was really really drunk in his moment of minor sobering up. Vic claimed she might still slap him, her tone was more of a joke but the look on her face made him think it might actually happen. A few moments passed as he waited but Vic finally said she wouldn’t slap him with a nod. “I’m thankful for your judgment on the matter.” Jim said jokingly trying to sound like he was talking to some type of judge who might have been passing out a punishment.
Vic explained that now she could actually tell woman how soft his lips where while trying to be his wingman. “I still don’t think that’s going to making the situation any less awkward while trying to be my wingman.. woman.. wingwoman.” Jim words still slurring a little. They were evenly drunk right about now but Jim hadn’t really realized it. “Besides I’ve already kissed the prettiest woman here, there’s no where to go from there.” He laughed not really realizing he was still complimenting Vic or else his face would be more red than ever. Vic explained that he should have the group who dared him buy him a turkey instead. “Why? Are you hungry?” He didn’t really get it but at the same time drunk Jim didn’t get a few things and more just went with whatever was going on.

She nodded. She felt bad about dumping Teddy back then too, but times were way past that now. "I bet you've never dumped anyone in your life. Probably too nice," she joked. He added that he was just comparing that she had gotten farther in her career due to not messing around and she shrugged a little. That was true, sure. "The dunce cap was worth it? What did you do?" she asked. He was not in school while she was there, so she had no idea what kind of shenanigans he had gotten up to while a student. She was kind of interested, it would open a few more windows into who Jim was. After they kissed, he said he was grateful that she didn't slap him. She nodded seriously at that, "I am thankful for your thankfuling," she commented firmly. He suggested she would be a wingwoman, not a man, and she giggled mischievously. Then he added, again, that he was the prettiest woman there and her brow furrowed. "There is somewhere to go from there, but it would involve a lot more kissing of each others lips and faces," she countered. He asked if she was hungry, due to the turkey comment and she shook her head. The motion made her lose balance a little and she held his shoulders for support, leaning toward him. "Just thought it'd be funny," she muttered, her face still weirdly serious. "Unless you're too coward to ask them?" she challenged. @jim

Jim laughed for a moment as Vic called him too nice, saying he probably never dumped anyone. “I wouldn’t say that but I’ve certainly been on the receiving end of being dumped more than anything else.” Jim explained not especially heart broken by any of those times any longer. Those were far enough in the past to not bother him. Vic questioned him about how a dunce cap would have been worth it. “Well they didn’t actually use the cap, more you just got some weird detention. Hopefully just writing lines but other times professors liked to use you for things. Cleaning, getting the class room ready for the next day. Stuff like that.” Jim explained as he didn’t want Vic to actually believe he had worn one. “One time was we had a middle of the night Quidditch match. I don’t remember exactly whose idea it was but we didn’t get that far into the match before some prefects caught us. It was still fun though.”
Laughing at her comment about being thankful still glad she wasn’t mad about what had happened. It could have gone much worse and he would have hated that. Vic explained that there was somewhere to go but it involved them kissing more. He stopped laughing as his face if possible went even more red and just laughed slightly nervously. “You make a very good point, see this-this is why you used to be minster of magic. You have good ideas and me... I-I have people trying to invent things that already exist half the time.” He explained both slurring word and with an awkward laugh.
Vic lost her balance for a moment and used his shoulder to regain it as she explained her comment about asking them for a turkey before asking if he was too coward to even ask them. “Please, I walked over here and kissed you out of no where. You don’t think I won’t go ask them? Come on.” Jim said with a smirk, it wasn’t a difficult challenge but never the less he could never say no a challenge while drunk. Taking Vic’s hand he proceed to walk over to that corner where the men had been sitting. “You’re in luck, instead of a drink you’ll just have to buy us a turkey. She didn’t say alive or cooked so imagine cooked.” Jim joked toward the group with a drunken laugh.

He said that he'd been dumped more than doing the dumping and she frowned a little. Most of her break ups were mutual, but she also didn't have that many relationships under her belt. As they talked about school, he said that his punishments were usually chores and things of the like from the staff. "I did that stuff anyway, without detention," she muttered, a little embarrassed by the truth of it. At the mention of 'middle of the night Quidditch' she shook her head, "You sports kids and your trouble making. When I was prefect I had to deal with your type."He said she had a good point about the kissing, and that this was why she as Minister of Magic. She laughed too, her own laugh a little nervous and her own face flushing too. "Hey, some good inventions come out of it I bet," she suggested, as he spoke about patents. The talk of kissing more was lost for now, which kind of bummed her out, but she was still sober just enough to know that she shouldn't press it... yet? He mentioned how he kissed her from the best, accepting her challenge about the turkey. He took her hand and she went with him, holding his hand a little too tightly as to make sure they didn't get separated. Drunk logic. He told the men her wish for a turkey and one raised their eyebrow, "how about two turkey sandwiches instead?" he suggested with a laugh. Andy appeared back on her side of the counter and raised an eyebrow at Vic again. "Andy! Two turkey sandwiches on those guys!" Vic said happily, leaning toward the counter, her hand still in Jims. Andy looked down at their hands, then up at Jims face. "Look out for this one. She blows things up when she gets bored," Andy said before heading back to the kitchens. Vics eyes widened and she looked up at Jim, "don't listen to her. She's just joking."@jim

Vic explained that she willingly helped the professors prepare for their classes the next day without it being a detention. “Wow, I’m learning so much about you tonight. Like you used to be such a nerd.” Jim teased for a moment. She went on to explain how sports kids like he had been were always trouble, especially when she was a prefect and had to deal them herself. “How am I not surprised you were a prefect?” Jim asked with a laugh with a small pause. “ Well speaking as one of those sports kids I can say it would be an honor to be brought in by you.”
As Vic talked about patents and inventions he was a glad to get away from the subject of kissing. At least he thought he was and yet he wished the conversation had kept going or maybe he wanted the kissing instead. Either way he knew he was still very drunk if that was the case. There wasn’t much explanation, well he knew there might be others. Vic was a very beautiful woman and he liked the kissing but that’s not what this night was about and they were just friends he thought. Still the idea was in his head. “Yeah, maybe one out of ten but that’s still something. So many people want to try and reinvent the wheel or are just hoping to get rich quick.”
As they walked Vic held his hand tight in an attempt to follow him he supposed. She had been losing her balance earlier so it made sense in his head. Once they made it to the group they offered to buy them both turkey sandwiches. A deal Vic seemed fine with as she returned to the bar where the waitress from before was. He watched as the waitress eyed them for a second then looked over to Jim and explained to be careful, Vic blew things up when she was bored. He just laughed for a moment. Vic turned toward him looking a little surprised as she explained that the waitress was just kidding. “Well it would be one way of knowing when I might start to bore you.” He joked, if he wasn’t as drunk as he was he might have been able to put some pieces together but that was no use right now. Realizing they were holding hands still he let go. “Sorry, I think that’s the second time I’ve forgotten about that now.”

Jim called her a nerd and she scoffed, "I just wanted our professors and school to succeed okay?" she challenged with a little smirk. He said he wasn't surprised that she was a prefect and she laughed a little too, "eh, yeah, shocker, I know. I am a little bummed out I missed the opportunity to bust you. Why'd you have to go and be so old?" she wasn't sure exactly how old he was, but it was more than seven years considering the fact that she had never seen him at school. Unless she just didn't notice him her first few years, which was possible. Vic rolled her eyes at the mention of reinventing the wheel, "people and their money," she muttered. Her mind was a little hazy as to why, but she was feeling kind of... disappointed? As if she had expected something that didn't happen but she was fuzzy on the details. After Andy's snark little comment, Jim joked that at least he'd know when he started to bore her. "I won't blow anything up tonight, I swear," she muttered, still glaring after Andy. But then Jim released her hand, saying that he kept forgetting to let go of them. She shook her head and held her hand out between them, up to the level of his chest, "you can hold my hand if you want to scaredy cat. Or do you only make a move when a dare is involved?"@jim

Vic defended her actions by saying she just wanted the school and staff to succeed and he smirked slightly. “You’re not in school anymore, you don’t have to sound like you’re trying to score some bonus points.” Jim teased as he figured she did think like that even during school and any house points might just be a bonus or weren’t even on Vic’s mind. She made a comment about how she regretted not having the opportunity to be the one to bust him blaming it all on him being so old. Which wasn’t entirely untrue. He was older than Vic by a number of years. Only knowing her age so well because people had made her becoming a minister of magic at such a young age such a big deal. “That’s no way to talk to your elders. Even if I’m only ten-ish years older than you. Maybe you can get a job in law enforcement and bust me there.” He left off the two extra years but something about saying ten sounded better in his drunk mind than twelve.
Jim laughed for a moment as Vic promised not to blow anything up tonight. “I like how you only promised for tonight.” Jim teased for a second before continuing, “it leaves the potential and excuse for the next time you get bored I suppose.” After letting go of her hand Vic held the same hand out once more near his chest, telling him he could hold it if wanted to because he was scared. Then brought up the dare from earlier and his face went just slightly red as he laughed. “Yes, I’m so scared that I need to hold your hand.” He said partially repeating her words in a slightly sarcastic tone. Taking her hand which was near his chest once more, fingers interlocking. “Who knows when you might find another drinking buddy or guy to fall through floors for you. I have to make sure you don’t run off too easily.” He was kidding, or at least he thought he was mostly kidding. “And the dares just help.”

He said she didn't have to sound like she was trying to score bonus points anymore, which caused her to smirk. She leaned forward a little, "but here's the secret, Jimmy," she teased, "I didn't need to get bonus points." She was sure he had good enough grades too, why wouldn't he? But, as he said, maybe not running for Minister of Magic level... not that they looked at your grades, but academic questions did come up. As for his being her elder, she scoffed and shook her head, "fine, maybe I will go back to the auror program and then I'll be coming for you, old or not," she suggested, He said 'ten-ish', and she kind of wanted to ask how many years exactly, because he'd know her age based on her being the youngest minister for magic in history and all, but she felt like if he wanted to give that information he already would have. He said he liked that she promised only for tonight as far as blowing things up, saying that she could do it next time she got bored. She shrugged, "it's not only when I get bored," she added, then shook her head to stop herself from going further. She shouldn't talk about illegal activities in a public place. But as his face turned red as he talked about hand holding, she forgot about her worries for a moment. He took her hand again, this time interlocking their fingers. She nodded slowly at his words, but wasn't exactly listening. She was thinking about her next dare. But then the sandwiches were placed in front of them by Andy and she snapped her eyes to look at them, then turned back to look at him. "Sandwiches first, more dares after," she assured him, moving to take the sandwich with her free and right after. @jim

Jim laughed as Vic teased that she had a secret before stating that she didn’t even need the bonus points. He was actually expecting something for a moment there. “Darn and I thought you were going to let me in on some school secret I didn’t know or something crafty you had done.” Jim teased back with a laugh. “Just saying you didn’t need the bonus points just proves how much of a nerd you used to be.” He was done after that unless Vic wanted to continue on with how great of a student she was while at Hogwarts.
Vic suggested that she just might go back to the auror program and come back to arrest him no matter how old he was. “I’d be worried but I’m more excited I’ll be seeing more of you.” Jim paused but quickly realizing how that might have sounded "Around the building I mean." He explained with a smile sure that he saved himself even in his drunken state. Vic had been looking for a job after all the first time they ran into each other so being an Auror would work. “If you’re every passing through the patents floor stop by, I can guarantee I’ll probably be bored. We can compare our days over lunch. You busting evil doers and me fighting paper work.” He joked but that would more or less be them talking about how work was going.
All Jim could do was laugh as the jokes about Vic exploding things continued at least in his drunken state they were jokes. Sober Jim might have put a few things together but that wasn’t happening today. “I’ll try and keep a mental list of what emotions cause it to happen. We got bored and I’m going to guess angry. Maybe even hangry, so only a hundred more emotions to cross or check off.” He joked as if he would have the opportunity or drive to test each possible emotion.
After they started holding hands once more the sandwiches arrived. The waitress making a look in their direction. He really hoped he hadn’t been embarrassing Vic in front of a friend as they seemed to know each other. All Jim had was a familiar feeling from the girl but no idea why especially now that he was drunk. Vic explained that the sandwiches came first then there would be more dares. Which even the hand holding would seem to be a dare in a way as she didn’t let go even to eat. “Fine by me, I imagine I’m going to need to keep drinking with the dares to come.” Jim joked not letting go of Vic’s hand as he ate with his free hand as well. He wasn’t about to lose now that he had for some reason thought it was a competition to see who let go first. “I wasn’t aware this night was going to turn into truth or dare though but I’m game.”

He laughed, and said that he thought she was going to let him in on some school secrets he didn't know, or something crafty she had done. But that her real secret, the lack of need for bonus points, only proved how much of a nerd she used to be. She narrowed her eyes at him, holding his gaze for a full one... two... three seconds before breaking it off and leaning back, ”you underestimate just how inaccurate the 'used to' part of that sentence is,” she explained casually. She was still a huge nerd, when it came down to it. Now that could end the conversation. Unless, of course, he had more for her.
He said he'd be worried if she was an auror again but excited to see more of her. Her eyes widened just a tad and she felt a quick heat in her cheeks, and he added that he meant around the ministry. He added a suggestion that they compare days over lunch and she smiled, ”that sounds nice, actually,” she agreed. ”I didn't really each lunch with anyone when I was in the auror program the first time. Kind of... skipping lunch to practice and all,” she confessed. There were quite a few reasons she was incredibly thin, and not necessarily in a healthy way. She didn't mean to steer the conversation to a more serious topic, though, so she cleared her throat, ”even if I don't go back to work, you can always meet me for lunch and we can still talk about me busting evil doers and you fighting paperwork,” she smirked. She didn't need a badge to bust bad guys anymore.
When he suggested he'd keep a mental list of what caused her to blow things up, she felt herself sober up a tiny bit at the thought. Wait, was she about to confess things she had blown up? Nope, nope, bring it in, Weasley. She was in control just enough to jump on the joke of it all, ”doesn't everyone want to explode something when they're hangry? Lucky for us, we have sandwiches coming,” she reminded.
Then they ate, with one hand each, which was proving difficult. ”Hey, some nights just turn into what they're meant to be without your say,” she commented, of course not realizing just how foreshadowing that statement really was.
As she ate, a tomato fell out of her hand and almost landed on her dress, but thankfully Andy had been right there and caught the tomato with a levitating spell. ”That's a white dress, Vic,”
[/b] she rolled her eyes, taking the tomato to levitate it to Victoires plate. ”And I'm done babysitting you,” she said firmly before walking away, taking off her apron. ”She's just playin'. She doesn't really work here, just helps out because her family owns the place,” Vic waved a hand dismissively at Andy, and set the remainder of her sandwich down. ”Okay, next round of drinks, and now it's your turn for a dare,” she suggested, waving at the replacing bartender. @jim

Jim laughed as Vic explained that she was very much still a nerd. It was hard to imagine the leader of heliopath labeling herself a nerd but this is in her personal life after all. There was more to them besides just the factions they were a part of. “Oh well I can’t want for when you prove it. It’ll be fun.” Jim teased, he didn’t really know how or when she would be able to prove that he was more than willing to allow more occasions to happen where it just might.
Vic explained that lunch together did sound nice. She went on to say how she never really had lunch during her training to be an Auror as she skipped them for more training. “What?” Jim asked acting as is confused and shocked. ”You missed out on the lovely break rooms and all the wonderful office gossip.” Jim joked as both of those were rather boring, the break room was more or less a room with some cabinets and the gossip he over heard others speak got old and was mostly silly. ”I hear Janet in magical animal regulations has to magically dye her hair now.” He made up as if he was sharing some form of secret to Vic then laughed. If there actually was a Janet in that department he wasn’t even sure. “That’s just a taste of what you missed out on.” Vic went on to explain that she didn’t need to go back to work for the ministry for them to have lunch or for her to bust bad guys. “Yeah, that’d be nice actually. I’ll owe you our first lunch since you got the drinks tonight.”
”So we’re safe from being blown up because we got turkey sandwiches for kissing you.” Jim joked not really thinking for a moment. “I guess this building and people can thank us for kissing then.” Jim added as they still joked about exploding things. Vic wasn’t entirely off as he had watched a number of people get angry just from being hungry. Possibly not enough to blow up something but still the point was made. Jim nodded at Vic’s comment about how some days just turned into what they were meant to. “I’d cheers to that but all I have is a sandwich at the moment.” Jim laughed as he took another bite, still holding Vic’s hand.
Jim hadn’t really noticed but he looked over as the bartender stopped a tomato from landing on Vic’s dress pointing out that it was a white dress and that she was done babysitting Vic and left them. ”You’ll need her around whenever you’re in a wedding dress. She’s good at saving white dresses.” Jim joked as Vic went on to explain about the girl who had been helping them. Soon replaced by another bar tender. “Well with her gone and no longer being your babysitter I suppose that duty falls on to me now.” Jim teased with a laugh finishing his sandwich. Vic explained it was time for another round of drinks and his turn at the dare. ”Okay,” Jim paused trying to think of a decent dare. He had a few ideas that popped up in his head but either they were too silly or might be embarrassing. Finally he spoke up after a moment or two of thinking. “Fine, I dare you to let go of my hand so I win and not be the one to let go first.” Jim teased still thinking hand holding was a competition to see who would let go first.

He said he couldn't wait for her to prove that she was indeed a nerd, and she definitely could. Maybe not as well when drunk but hey, she could probably talk circles around him if she tried. Though, she didn't really want to seem like a know-it-all, even if she was one. When they talked about the lunch breaks at work, he feigned shock at her saying that she missed out on the gossip and whatnot. She rolled her eyes at him, chuckling a little. He talked about someone named Janet, who she legitimately had no idea if they were a real person or not, but she faked a look of shock anyway, "my goodness, how embarrassing for her. Well, we can't all be metamorphs," she countered with a grin. "Well, now that I know what gossip I'm missing I definitely can't skip out on it. Even if I don't get the job, maybe you should meet me for lunch and fill me in anyway," she joked. He said he'd get the first lunch and she nodded, "done, deal, yes," she agreed, a little too excitedly. He pointed out that they were safe from her blowing things up due to the sandwiches which came from his kissing her dare. She nodded, pointing at his face with the hand her sandwich was in, "exactly. They wish we would kiss more often," she commented firmly. He said he'd cheers to her comment about the day being what it was meant to be, but all he had was a sandwich. "It's the thought that counts," she said, squeezing his hand a little. When Andy saved her dress and left, Jim pointed out that Andy should be around to save Vics wedding dress. Little did he knew how much blood Andy had gotten on her own clothes, probably white stuff too. Still, Vic nodded vigorously, "yessss. She should be my maid of honor for that. Not that we're close friends, but if she's useful enough," obviously if she got married she'd ask her little sister, but still. He said that he was now her babysitter and she placed the small remainder of her sandwich down in order to lean her head onto his shoulder for a moment. Then, it was his turn to dare and he said he dared her to let go of his hand so he could win. Her jaw dropped, "what! Fine, but then I win the dare, so we both win," she said. She looked down at their hands, then slowly released him. But as soon as her hand was free she just grabbed his arm instead, steadying herself a little from the spinning in her head. She looked to his face, a small smile gracing her lips. "You're very handsome, Jim. Has anyone told you that? No, of course they have, what a dumb question," she shook her head and laughed. "Okay. My turn. I dare you to buy me a present, if anywhere is still open."@jim

He couldn’t help but laugh as Vic played along with his made up gossip. If she thought it was real or not he wasn’t sure but that didn’t really matter all that was important was she was getting a laugh out of it all. It also didn’t hurt that she was insisting on having lunches together. He doubted she actually wanted to hear more boring office gossip, Jim was more focused on the lunch part. “Like you wouldn’t get the job.” Jim replied sarcastically, it was hard to imagine she wouldn’t be qualified for becoming an auror once again even if they didn’t take her position as ex-minister of magic into consideration. “Still with what is going on now, you might feel bored by just being an auror considering what you do now.” He did add as she might as well be an auror just without most of the rules behind them. “It’s a date.” He added without thinking, “lunch date, no just lunch. It’s lunch.” He attempted to correct himself as he felt a little dumb now for his choice of words.
After his joke Vic said that they might have wished they kept kissing. “They aren’t the only ones.” Was uttered from Jim in a hushed tone as he thought to himself as a slight way of kicking himself for how quick it had been. As he claimed he couldn’t toast Vic just explained it was the thought that counted and Jim nodded.
Jim laughed for a moment while Vic explained that she could make the bartender that helped her be her maid of honor just for that. “There’s a number of reasons. Saving dresses, she can be handy with a drink if need be. Maid of honor and run the bar after the wedding is finished.”
Vic looked shocked for a moment as Jim picked his dare but stated that he would win the hand holding but she would win the dare so they both won in a way. “I’m fine with that. Both just a couple of winners.” Jim teased as she slowly let go of his hand. Replacing it by grabbing his arm instead. Now a little closer to him she looked up toward his face saying he looked handsome, which Jim went red for a moment as Vic then asked if anyone had ever told him that before correcting herself. “The last one was probably my mother but I think she’s forced to say that.” Jim joked still blushing just a little. As Vic spoke again it was her time with a dare, explaining he had to buy her a present, if someplace was open. Jim finished his drink, accepting her dare. “Easy enough.” He said with a smile as he took her hand in his once more even if he did have her just let go. “Shall we go find you something nice?” Jim suggested with a laugh as he had no idea what was really open now nor couldn’t think that clearly about it either with how drunk he was.
