"HELP, i can't button my fucking pants," verity struggled as she stood in front of her mirror, trying to so desperately loop around the button of her jeans.

"your butt got bigger," pansy stated simply. "and those jeans are from last year."

verify simply huffed before going back to the mirror and continuing to try and force the buttons together

"just put some different pants on!" pansy said as she got up and headed towards the door, as there was a subtle knock. she opened it up revealing draco, theo, greyson, and blaise, all dressed and ready to go.

"what's taking so long?" draco sighed exasperatedly. "verity's being a stubborn fuck," pansy explained before heading over to her trunk and getting her boots out.

"my pants won't button. i want to wear these, they make my butt look good," she whined as her hands dropped to her side.

"yeah they do," greyson stated simply before hooking his fingers in the belt loops of her jeans and using them to pull him closer to her before buttoning her pants himself, (with surprising ease). verity smiled contently before rushing over to her closet and grabbing a pair of black heels.

"we were supposed to leave 15 minutes ago," blaise stated as he glanced over at the clock resting on pansy's night stand.

"this could've been avoided if verity just wore some different pants," theo started. "i wanted to wear THESE." she huffed before grabbing her purse and heading towards the door. "well don't just sit there! cmon we're late," she rushed as her five friends followed after her, pansy making sure to lock the door behind them as she was the last one out.

it has been 3 months since the kids had been marked, and schools just started up. they're currently heading over to pub in diagon alley for the opening showcase of famous wizard singer leonel fioeli. greyson had managed to get the six of them fake id's, curtsy of the weasley twins who not only shone in supplying prank supply's, but apparently fake id's and drugs as well.

"the place is probably crowded by now," blaise warned as the six of them approached the pub. verity was first to face the burly bouncer who was undeniably ready to discard of any underage wizards trying to enter.

verity dug around in her purse subtly before pulling out her id and handing it to the man. to her surprise, he denied it, muttering a soft "no worries, beautiful." and opening the door for her and her friends.

the six of them piled in half confused and half pleased about what just happened. "i guess this means verity's gonna have to go first any time we go somewhere we're not supposed too," greyson joked earning a giggle from the group.

they had managed to find some pretty decent seats in a both towards the end of the pub, closests to the bar and farthest from the bathroom.

verity sat between greyson and pansy, where as blaise sat between draco and theo on the other side.

the lights started to dim as the workers started spreading out and offering out drinks and hor d'œuvres. "do you think snape really meant what he said before leaving the hadencia back in june?" theo asked with a worried face.

"now's really not the time to think about that, mate." draco tried to comfort. "it's months away, and i'm sure they'll have taken care of it by then. it's fine, really." with that, the curtains rolled up and leonel had started with his first song of the night, immediately turning everyone's point of attention to him.
