Paris Party! (Saturday, but posted early by request)

[rockinriah]

Zacharias loved parties, especially when he was throwing them. Granted, that meant he wasn't going to be drinking nearly as much as he wanted, but someone had to make sure no one blew his house up. He'd delegated bartenders to Daphne, a fair bit of decorating to Mandy, and made Megan entertain him. He sort of felt bad asking them to do anything

Free booze and a party in a house in Paris? Eddie was there. It didn't take much convincing from Roger, Lavender and Parvati. Staying away from his house was one of his top priorities for the summer. He had promised Maeve to hang out with her soon and when he didn't have plans with anyone, Eddie just walked the streets of London.

At first, Eddie hung around with Roger but eventually he found himself alone with a glass of rum surveying the house he was a guest in. It was nice, to say the least. Eddie felt oddly out of place, but at the same time comfortable with the idea that he would love to live there.

Everything about the party was near perfection. The girls were in fine form and the more Eddie had to drink, the more he wanted to find someone to get to know.

Lavender had disappeared at some point... So that left Parvati alone. Downing drinks involuntarily. It was hard to remember exactly how many strawberry or pineapple ones she'd had. The sweet ones were always her worst enemy.

"Eddie!" Vati squealed, rushing over to him (however fast a drunk girl in heels could rush without falling over). "They disappeared again," she commented, heavy implications in her words. Somehow it felt like the two of them were always left in the dust of Lavender and Roger.

"I'm not surprised," Eddie tilted his head back to consume the remainder of the beer he had recently opened. Usually he was all about hard liquor, but beer seemed to not make him as moody. He generally felt more laid back when the alcohol didn't go straight to his head.

"We're just here for when they randomly decide they need a change of pace," he winked at her. "But let's not let them ruin it for us, yeah?"

Parvati looked good and more than tipsy. "What sort of trouble have you been into?"

Parvati rolled her eyes at Eddie's comment. She knew that she shouldn't be jealous of Lavender's new relationship, but it was hard to not be.

With a giggle, she shook her head, and then pushed a stray piece of hair back. "No trouble, just dancing. A lot of dancing."

Eddie wasn't jealous. He was relieved that someone had a normal life and that he could somehow use Roger's girl problems to escape his stupid life once in awhile.

"From where I'm standing, that can be very dangerous, love," Eddie watched Parvati fuss with her hair. "If I had it my way, you wouldn't be wearing that and dancing where everyone can see you." Forgive Eddie for being a tad bit protective of his female friends. Or maybe he was flirting.

"So overprotective," Parvati scolded, playfully pushing his arm. "We all know that if anyone tried anything you and Roger would take care of them for me." She didn't mean it in a spoiled way, but she loved having Eddie around to protect her. She hadn't forgotten his bravery at the cup.
