Seeing that Theo was improving and was in fact doing better, Amelia and himself insisted for Beatrice to go out with her friends since she hadn't done so in more than a month. Of course, none of them nor any of her friends knew that secretly, Fred and her had been spending time together after the night he stayed with her in the shop's workshop.

Beatrice was smart, and she knew that if she kept herself hidden for longer, her friends would come looking for her and there was no way in hell that she would put her brother's biggest secrets at risk because of her. Friday night, Amelia and Theo basically kicked her out of the wand shop and told her not to come back until she couldn't open her eyes anymore while at the pub.

She went inside Vipers and straight into the table where she knew her friends would be, slightly taken aback by seeing Fred, George, Lee, Angelina, Alicia and Oliver sitting as well. Her gaze diverted towards the VIP table where Aster, Emmeline and their crowd where sitting at and noticed that the the white-haired boy couldn't stop looking at her as she walked.

"Did you know they say that the devil is a woman?" Adrian said to the crowd after the drinks had finally reached his head, his sense of speech clearly inhibited by now.

"No one even says that Adrian, are you fucking stupid?" Bea chuckled and playfully whacked the back of his head, all eyes on her as she sat between Graham and Cecillia as usual.

"Nah, I think she probably is and she's just arrived isn't that right Bea?" Graham teased

"Wouldn't you like to know," she winked at him and downed a shot that Fred had just served for himself.

"She's alive ladies and gentlemen, alert the authorities and cancel the search party," Cedric grinned. "Glad to have you back B."

"So, care to explain where the hell have you been in the last month?" Adrian asked.

"I was working and had to go on a couple of trips," Bea shrugged. "Didn't Amelia tell you in that dinner you all had?"

"Ames pretty much got drunk so I'd say no," Poppy chuckled, "she did mention some drunken gibberish but that was pretty much it."

"So back to business, what can I offer you tonight?" Cee wiggled her brows.

"Nothing actually, I'm trying to cut back," Bea shook her head.

"Who are you and what have you done with Beatrice Nott?" Graham frowned.

"Stop it all of you," Poppy huffed. "It's a good thing and I support that decision entirely Bea."

"Thanks, I guess," Bea stood up, "I'm gonna go get a drink."

"I'll come with you, considering that you drank what was left of the bottle," Fred smiled.

"I don't need a chaperone Weasley," she rolled her eyes playfully and walked towards the bar with him following behind.

"Do any of you also get the feeling that there's something suspicious between them two?" Lee asked the group.

"It's Beatrice, there's always something suspicious going on with her," Cee nodded.

"I thought they hated each other," Cedric said.

"Many things can change after a black out one night stand Ceddy," Adrian snickered.

"They actually don't look bad together," Alicia added. "I can totally see them as a couple-"

"Bea doesn't do couples and she doesn't do feelings," Graham interrupted. "There is nothing she hates more than feelings so I doubt they'll go further than a couple of shags with no strings attached."
