There was a little pub Zacharias knew a bit too well. He wasn't sure who had found it originally, his brother, his cousin, or himself. Either way, the Drunken Monkey Pub was local and meant Zacharias didn't have to try not to splinch himself by Apparating home at the end of the night. Plus, it was full of Muggle townies; those girls were always so ( Read more... )

Pretty much the only thing Bradley had to wear at the Muggle pub was a button down like one he'd seen on the pub's tv. So, wearing a blue button down, he walked into the pub, and knew where to find his cousin.

"How much do I have to catch up?" he asked in a mock-serious tone, ordering a drink from the bar. "Whiskey, thank you."

Luckily, Zacharias had Elijah's influence and, for unexplained reasons, Elijah had been spending increasing amounts of time with Muggles. So Zacharias blended right in with a t-shirt, white jacket, and jeans. It worked well for him if the looks from the girl down the bar were anything to go by.

"You're only one behind," he nodded to Bradley. Finishing his drink, Zacharias motioned for another before telling the bartender "And send another of whatever the brunette in red is drinking."

Zacharias turned to look at Bradley. "How's hols and hiccups?"

Coop rolled his eyes, and drowned a drink. "Better now thanks." He usually started out drinking at a good pace, then slowed it down once the others were getting drunk so he could catch any news worthy events. He'd been doing it since he was 15, and old habits die hard, right? Not a clue to the blog!?!?

Cooper took a glance down the bar at the girl. It was Riah's usual type-- the cute girl down the way. "Blessed muggles, they don't know what they're getting into with you," he smirked.

He couldn't help it, Zacharias laughed before turning and giving the girl a wink as she was handed her drink. She blushed and ducked behind her hair. It was almost too easy.

"Not a bloody clue. It's amazing. Why do you think I love this place?"

With a grin, Bradley ordered his second round. "To easy muggle chicks," he laughed quietly, making sure the girl couldn't hear. He rose his glass to tip his cousin's.

"So... How were your hols?"

Zacharias clicked their glasses together before he took a long drink.

"They were completely ridiculous. Da nearly died trying to beat Elijah at Quidditch and some how or other, Elijah got me in drag. Which was irritating enough before Cecilia showed up."

Yeah, ridiculous about covered it.

bradleys_buzz January 12 2011, 05:12:56 UTC

"Drag?" Bradley asked, checking if he heard him right. "You've got to be joking. Where's the family photos when you need them? Please tell me Hayley got photos?"

Choosing the seat facing in the direction of the muggle girl was clearly the right choice. Every so often her glances would land on his cousin, before she would attempt to nonchalantly turn away.

"Of course she did," Zacharias rolled his eyes. "She lives to torment me." Honestly, he adored his sister-in-law, but she was entirely too well-matched with his brother sometimes. "I tried to steal them all, but I'm sure I missed a couple."

He shuffled around, using the motion to turn and glance back at the girl. Keeping his back to her was definitely intentional and the glances he kept obviously sending her were all part of his usual game. He gave her a nod toward a table in the more dimly lit corner; she ducked her head and giggled. Everything was still going according to plan.

"If you can talk her into the rest of them, I'd owe you, Coop." Not that he really held out much hope. Someone other than Cecilia had probably seen him when he was parading around in that ridiculous dress.

bradleys_buzz January 12 2011, 05:55:16 UTC

"I'll see what I can do," he chuckled, "I'll as her to show me them and steal 'em."

Family time always seemed to be drinking time, but he still wasn't as good as his cousin at it. Must be from the other side of the family... He already was feeling a bit lightheaded, which meant he was going to have to start using vanishing charms.

Drinking wasn't an issue with Zacharias. He'd had plenty of years to build up a decent tolerance. He knocked back the rest of his drink and motioned for another.

"Thanks. I'd appreciate if all those things burned." Granted, in retrospect, the whole going-for-coffee-in-drag thing had been a really hilarious way to start the new year.

When the new drink showed up, Zacharias raised it in a toast directed at the girl he'd been making eyes at. She was over the blushing thing and was looking at him a bit more intently. She flipped her hair and that was a sign if he ever saw one.

Zacharias turned back to Bradley. "What do you think? She look like she's worth the effort?" Granted, she could be crazy since she was at a bar alone, but Zacharias could deal with crazy for a night.

bradleys_buzz January 12 2011, 07:02:21 UTC

Bradley sized her up. She was definitely pretty, at least, and that was probably enough for his cousin. "She's practically begging for it. Prolly got a sad story," he smirked. While Riah's back had been turned, his drink had been emptied, magically, as he pretended to drink it.

It was worth a few bucks to not have his family mock him, and for the sake of his needed sobriety for his nosy moments. "Another," he asked, motioning the bartender.

Chuckling, Zacharias shrugged. "Don't they always?" Usually, the ones sitting alone at bars had Daddy Issues and that made them so much easier. Plus, they usually had a minor kinky side that Zacharias had no problem indulging ( ... )

bradleys_buzz January 13 2011, 05:38:22 UTC

Bradley probably would have been more pissed off if he didn't see the huge muggle storming towards his cousin.

"Oh shite..." he muttered, starting to laugh. "Oh shite!"

Before he knew what happened, Zacharias found himself back against the bar, hand up as if that would actually stop anyone from doing anything. Zacharias wasn't a short guy, but the other man was leaning over him, glaring fiercely, and ranting.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

Erin was on her feet and tugging at the giant's arm. "Chad, seriously, this isn't...it was harmless."

Chad shook her off. "Stay out of it. He had no business crawling all over you." Then he turned his attention back to Zacharias, almost looking surprised that he hadn't move. But this was Zacharias Smith and Smith's didn't back down from things often. Their determination was really more of a stubbornness. "What, you think just because a lady is alone she's fair game?"

Zacharias squared his shoulders, shrugging and putting on a smirk. If it came to blows he didn't know what he'd do, but he was damn sure going to go down bitching. "The lady wasn't too put out. She's been making eyes at me all night. Maybe you need to take this up with he ( ... )
