Birthday Bonfire! (Backdated to the 5th) - OTA! Gathering post style welcome!

Jun 06, 2014 21:53

Draco Malfoy was now twenty-five years old. Old. Old. The word kept running through his head. He was a quarter century old, for Merlin's sake! The notion was ridiculous - how could he be twenty-five already?! How could life go by so incredibly fast and yet so damnably slow at the same time ( Read more... )

"Peace on Earth?" suggested a voice behind Draco, historically more in tune with mockery than with the ideal behind the words he spoke. Then the sentiment behind the words changed as Loki added, "Or at least the ability to dominate it?"

Re: Draco black_nimbus01 June 7 2014, 21:57:10 UTC

Draco looked over his shoulder and grinned at the norse god. "Sounds like an awful lot of work to me. I think I'll pass."

Re: Draco green_god_loki June 7 2014, 22:17:59 UTC

"Ahh, but the ability to dominate the world means you can swat any annoying little flies that bother you," Loki countered.

"I do that anyway," he said with amused confusion. "I suppose I'll have to be content being a big fish in a small pond, however."

Charles would be remiss if he didn't go to Draco's birthday, though it wasn't easy what with the sand in the tires of his chair. But it had been firmed up enough in spots that he could get somewhat close.

It felt, of course, like ages since he had seen Draco, though he knew it had only been some weeks via the village. Charles's hair was longer, combed back over his ears, and he still wore clothing more suited to the 1970s than current times. His bruises and cuts were healing, but perhaps he looked a bit more haunted around the eyes; he did, though, muster a smile when he heard Draco's question. He waited to hear the answer.

Re: Draco black_nimbus01 June 7 2014, 22:01:50 UTC

Draco knew better than to say his wish out loud - that was against the rules of wish-making, after all! There was a bit of wistfulness about him as he gently blew the flame out.

He took out the candle and sucked the frosting off the end as he turned, and was a bit startled to see Charles there. And then he was just confused.

"What are you wearing?"

mutiegroovy June 7 2014, 22:10:55 UTC

"The height of fashion, of course," Charles said, his smile crooked and self-effacing. "Happy birthday, Draco."

"From when? The dark ages? No, no, I would recognize that style. I have no idea what this is supposed to be," he said with a smiling laugh. "Thank you. How are you, Charles? You look a bit worse for wear even past the obvious."

Annatar would not even consider missing the party for Draco's birthday. Tonight would not be for mocking his very small number of years or giving his gift--not out at a bonfire. Draco might be tempted to waste it.

The gift was a number of food items that he'd found, supposedly the very best England had to offer, and some of them 'wizarding'. This he supplemented with Elven wine that the village now carried at times. Later. He'd sent a card that the gift would be delivered the next day.

For now he had learned about 's'mores', which sounded like something decadent that Draco would like and he was trying to find the young man.

Sorry so late, I was away.

Re: Draco (and Open) black_nimbus01 June 9 2014, 04:32:46 UTC

Draco was on his fourth smore already, and waved at the Elf as he easily spotted his tall frame.

"Hey!" he said with a mildly sticky smile, and licked melted chocolate off of his thumb.

[Not a problem! I was late for his birthday too. XD]

Re: Draco (and Open) annatar_s June 10 2014, 02:29:51 UTC

Both eyebrows raised, Annatar moved forward towards his messy little friend.

"I see you're indulging, as is proper." Not that Draco wouldn't anyway. "When explained to me, it sounded like this was something for you."

He waved his hand at 'this'. It wasn't chocolate on Draco's face but remnants of marshmallow. Then again, Draco might have left a bit on the lips deliberately.

"You know I didn't make anything for you but I could not resist using a bit of something from home." Draco did not have the gift yet. "There's wine."

Re: Draco (and Open) black_nimbus01 June 10 2014, 05:50:33 UTC

Draco raised his own rows at Annatar. "I'd like to see you try to eat one of these without making a mess."

Bastard probably would manage it, but then he'd miss out on part of the fun.

"Ooh! Elven wine? I do love Elven wine."

"More employees like me?" Cedric suggested, chuckling. "So, have you figured out the deep meaning of the blue cupcake yet? If it's the village's evil scheme to fatten you up, it's clearly not working."

[ooc: hopefully better late than never!]

Re: Draco black_nimbus01 June 10 2014, 05:53:29 UTC

Draco laughed. "I probably should. You're the only one that's been thoughtful enough to stick around."

Even with the teenager attitude, Jace would be missed.

"No idea," he said and licked at the frosting. "They're creepy, and yet so tasty."

[Always!]

Re: Draco evenprettydead June 10 2014, 11:39:10 UTC

"What can I say - apparently I have no life ambition. Who knows, maybe the village's next lunacy will be to duplicate me." Cedric said. "You'll wake up one day and they'll be overly-wholesome Hufflepuffs all over the place."

Re: Draco black_nimbus01 June 11 2014, 17:22:22 UTC

"Hard to have life ambition when you're stuck in a pocket universe the size of a remote village," Draco pointed out.

"Oh dear. I'm not sure I love you enough to be able to tolerate an invasion like that."
