Happy Hour

It's happy hour time again and your bartender for the evening is Angelina. She's not exactly a pro at this but she figures how hard can it be to pour a few drink? Plus, she has magic on her side right? Which leads to her choice of specials for the evening...

Tonight's Specials!

Salem Witch
Black Magic
Frisky Witch
Eerie Witch's Brew (non alcoholic)
(Free Magic show with every order)

She leans against the back bar, idly making shot glasses dance across the surface and sipping a firewhiskey until she gets some customers. So have at it folks. She's got all the time in the world...

[OOC: Closed to new threads as I'll be going to bed in the next 30 minutes.]

[ETA: Bedtime for me now - somehow it reached 5am when I wasn't looking. Oops? Slowtime!]

A small red-haired girl skips up to the bar and peers up at the Specials board.

"Can I try a Witch's Brew, please?"

"Sure thing, sweetheart," she says, smiling at the little girl. Angelina waves her wand and a glass tapdances across the bar in front of her and comes to a stop. A second wave and the glass slowly fills with the requested drink.

"Do you want a straw with that?" she asks as she tops it off with a paper umbrella and a cherry on a cocktail stick.

"Yes, please." Lily grins as she watches the show.

She smiles and waves her wand one last time. With a 'pop' a straw appears in the glass.

"Enjoy," she says moving the glass closer to the little girl. She's not sure why, but she can't shake the feeling that she looks oddly familiar.

"Thanks!" She takes the glass two-handed, then takes a careful sip from the straw. She breaks off, then grins. "That's good."

"You are quite welcome.

What's your name, sweetheart?"

"Lily Potter."

"...

...

Oh yeah, now she see's the resemblance.

"Oh. It's lovely to meet you Lily."

I'm Angie Johnson."

Lily pauses, blinks. Now she sees it, if she looks hard enough.

"Aunt Angelina?"

Aunt Angelina? Her mouth opens and closes like a fish for a few minutes before she says pretty much the only thing she can in the circumstances:

"Blasted Milliways..."

She rubs her temples. She can feel a temporal headache coming on.

She giggles.

And Angelina just felt at least 10 years get added to her actual age of 23. She laughs as well and shakes her head. It's either that or go crazy.

"Am I weirding you out?" Lily asks, suddenly meek.

"No sweetheart," she says shaking her head. "I'm just not sure I'll ever get used to the weird things Milliways does with time..."

She picks up her drink, walks around to the other side of the bar and takes a seat next to Lily.

"You have me at a bit of a disadvantage, kiddo. You know me, but I don't really know you..."

"Well, I'm nine years old and I have two older brothers James and Albus," she begins. "You're - or will be - married to my uncle George."

How's she doing so far?

The girl is being watched... but Ginny is sneaky and doing it over her spells book.

Lily doesn't notice Ginny's sneaky watching. She's too busy enjoying her Witch's Brew.

She wonders if maybe she can get her mum to make something like this at home. Of course, that would require getting the recipe first...

Her mum would do it, even if it's almost twenty years before the two meet in that time. The sneaky one does something dumb she drops her book while still wearing her uniform from school.

"Damn it!'

Hearing the exclamation, Lily's head whips around. It takes her a moment to recognize the face, young as it is.

"Mum!" A beat. Then, with a smirk, "Language!"

Ginny raises an eyebrow in a look that she learned from her own mum.

"Yeah, well sometimes you just need to. Besides..." It trails off.. MUM?

Oh, she recognizes that look, though normally it was aimed at James or Albus rather than her.

But too late, Lily recognizes the other look and realizes her mistake. "Uh-oh..."

Ginny just shrugs and sips her drink. A coke with cherries in it. "It's okay I've met others here from after my time."

Whew. Sigh of relief.

"Like my brother? I think he mentioned that he saw you here..."

"James?"

She asks softly and puts her chin in her hand with a smile. As something purple makes his self known.

"Yeah, that's him!"

The bit of purple catches Lily's eye, and she brightens. "Arnold!"
