Charlie hadn't expected to have the evening off but Ernie's kids had been invited to a Muggle friend's to do that Trick or Treating bit where the tots run about and scavenge candy from neighbors. His wife decided to go along just in case, so Ernie had decided to cover the shift allowing Charlie to get out. He'd sent an owl to Athena to let her know he'd be at The 3Bs if she was able to join him ( ... )

Cho was certain she would not enjoy any Halloween parties. For the most part, she'd spent the past few Halloweens with her cousin -- feeling awkward dressed as a fairy or angel in front of people she barely knew -- and the holiday had sort of lost its charm. But this Halloween there was no reason not to try and be social; she always looked cute in a costume, at least. And she'd promised herself not to stay at home and mope, even if it meant distracting herself with old classmates.

Sigh.

Wandering into the swamp without Percy -- she hadn't bothered to ask if he'd be able to make it, wanting to reassure herself that she could indeed make appearances without him -- Cho was immediately (stereotypically) drawn to Charlie's costume. Her own was a slightly vague Alice in Wonderland she had enchanted to sparkle lightly as she walked. Hiding behind a cup of swamp juice, she made her approach. "Hello, Charlie. I like your costume."

pb_charlie October 31 2008, 19:55:23 UTC

"Thanks, Cho. Is my work-a-holic brother with you?" he asked looking around for Perce. "How have you been? Any word on your audition?"

pb_cho October 31 2008, 20:47:47 UTC

Cho flushed slightly. "No, he isn't..." With a wan smile, she shrugged.

Nice of you to remember.

"My audition went very well, thank you." She brightened a little, cheered by the thought. "I got the position."

pb_charlie October 31 2008, 23:27:31 UTC

"Athena's not here either. We can keep each other company," he winked at his brother's girl.

Charlie grinned at the news. "Congratulations! So what is happening now? Are you practicing or have you been performing too?"

pb_cho October 31 2008, 23:51:06 UTC

Cho beamed. She'd been hoping to better acquaint herself with Percy's elder brothers; though she'd known Ginny and Ron for years now (not that they really knew one another) she'd never quite gotten the same chance with the rest of his family. "Yes, why not?"

Smoothing her skirt, she took a sip of the swamp juice, ignoring the buzz of alcohol. I need to grow up anyway. "Only practising so far. We have a performance in December."

"Holiday music?" he asked. Charlie loved Christmas music... mostly. That Celestina woman, her carols, and her cauldron full of hot love he could do without. Unfortunately, his mum loved her. "Do you do repeat the program over several nights or is it just the one performance?"

pb_cho November 1 2008, 04:23:15 UTC

"Holiday music, yes," Cho nodded. "But... more classic than contemporary. No hot strong love or anything, don't worry. I repeat it over a two week period."

pb_rosmerta October 31 2008, 19:04:07 UTC

She smiled and waved to Charlie when she saw him. "Happy Halloween!" she said. "Sure is. Don't you love it? Best money I've ever spent."

pb_charlie October 31 2008, 19:58:07 UTC

"I don't know that I agree. That costume looks likes good money too," he said with a wink.

"Do you have any of that fancy beer you had a while back? A few of my mates were here and said I needed to give a try."

pb_rosmerta October 31 2008, 20:07:52 UTC

She laughed. "Well, I guess it was a solid investment." she said before nodding. "Got pumpkin beer on tap tonight."

pb_charlie October 31 2008, 23:37:19 UTC

"Pumpkin beer it is then. Maybe a bowl of something too?" He figured she had something special on the menu tonight.

pb_rosmerta November 1 2008, 02:11:24 UTC

"Special tonight is Swamp soup. A spicy split pea." she said before leaving him to grab a pint of the beer. Returning, she asked if he want that or something off the regular menu.

pb_charlie November 1 2008, 03:15:40 UTC

"Not much for pea soup. I think I'll have the fish and chips. Toss in whatever veg you've got too. I'm a still a growin' boy." He grinned.

pb_rosmerta November 1 2008, 14:19:02 UTC

"You got it, love." she said with a wink before walking into the kitchen and preparing Charlie a plate. The chips were fresh and the fish only needed a few minutes to fry. She spooned some steamed carrots and green beans onto the plate.

Once the fish was ready, she finished up the plate and took it out to Charlie. "Here you go. Be back in a bit if you need anything else."
