Albert had made his way back to the common room while Thomas was still setting up and had retreated into his dorm in order to shed his damn muggle costume before everyone had the chance to arrive. If he was going to be attending a party he would be dressed comfortably, not ridiculously. He decided on a simple white button down with black pants, pausing in the mirror to check his reflection halfheartedly before slinking back towards the common room.

Pushing open the door, he spotted Thomas by the fire place and gave him a quick nod in greeting, "Evening, Nott..." Crossing the room to the table he poured himself a glass of firewhisky before joining his housemate by the fireplace. "Nice little set up you have here. At least I can feel better about missing out on your first little gathering."

Thomas returned the nod and turned slightly to face his housemate, resting an elbow on the mantel above fireplace. "Runcorn, nice to see you." His eyes flickered to a point just beyond Albert's head as a few more of their housemates entered the common room before returning his gaze to the Slytherin in front of him. "Glad you could make it. Hopefully, a few more of our housemates will be able to join us for this one. The first was a bit last minute."

Evan trotted rather enthusiastically into the common room, still in full Halloween attire and with no intention of changing before the night was through. He looked good in a cloth sheet. There were only so many days of the year one was allowed to parade one's bare chest around for all to see.

"Thomas!" he sing-songed, bounding over like an excited puppy. "Bert as well, lovely!" he beamed from one to the other, but the smile slowly faded from his face at their apparent somberness. Neither of them looked in the least bit drunk. "Christ, look at the two of you. Is this a party or a wake? Have you done the silencing charms? Why isn't there any music? " Evan broke off to fix himself a drink and pick up several of the nibbles Thomas had set out before returning back to the pair. He stared expectantly at them for a few moments. "Ohgodcomeon," he yelled impatiently. "You know how it goes! Eat, drink and be merry!"

Thomas shook his head, a grin stretching across his lips. "You're already smashed, aren't you?" he asked, patting Evan on the shoulder as he walked a few feet away to the drink table to pour himself another glass of firewhiskey. "Silencing are charms are in place and music... well, you can take care of that, mate," he said, answering Evan's questions as he set down the bottle and made his way back to the fireplace beside them, lifting the glass to his lips, the contents burning slightly as it slid down his throat.
