[gourmetchairman]

It was quiet in the Gryffindor common room

Arriving after the smoke had cleared, Yukimura only saw a very pleased Kaga. A smile curved his lips, a laugh beginning as he said, "It is good to see you, Takeshi. All seems well, my good friend."

[gourmetchairman]

"Hello, Yukimura!" Kaga said with a grin. "I have just come back from celebration!"

[elegantsamurai]

"Celebration? Ah, wonderful." It took a moment for him to calculate the date, to figure what Kaga would have been celebrating in the first place. "Ah, your birthday. Congratulations. Come, I'll get you a drink," he said as he held out his hand. He was sure Kuronue would allow him a drink with Takeshi without the looks he sometimes got for it.

"I have one right here!" Kaga said, lifting up a bag. "The Duke always knew where the best wines were."

Albus felt it would be a good day to step out of his office's musty confines and take the air.

He did not know it was Kaga's birthday. He knew only that it was a fabulous American Muggle holiday, celebrated also by his wizardly Mattachine colleagues over the water. And it had long pleased him to celebrate it too, in his own quiet way.

As a Gryffindor, he had access to the common room as well. He was sitting in a corner, knitting rainbow scarves, when Kaga emerged from the Floo.

He wagged the rainbow scarf at him by way of greeting.

"Hello!" The Chairman said, waving back. "It is a grand day, is it not?"

Clyde had an advantage over many recent arrivals at Hogwarts; he was no stranger to the unusual. Still, a man stepping out of a fireplace was a new sight.

"Is that something just you can do, or can anyone learn that?"

[gourmetchairman]

Kaga smiled benevolently at Clyde. "Anyone can as long as you have Floo Powder and a location in mind."

[chipsandwich]

"What's Floo Powder? Does it only work on fireplaces?"

[gourmetchairman]

"I'm afraid it does. And it can only go to other fireplaces in the Floo network. For instance, I had just come from Diagon Alley."

Megan dropped the magazine she had been reading in surprise at the sudden noise, but instead of flipping out and teleporting away or attacking the noise or anything embarrassing like that, she picked up the magazine and laughed a little nervously. The guy was only singing, after all.

"Nice entrance," she said. "Eight out of ten. Needs more sparkles." She waggled her fingers in emphasis.

Everything was better with sparkles.

[gourmetchairman]

Kaga laughed. "I think the days of me wearing shiny clothing are few nowadays." Indeed, what he was wearing was subdued.

For him.

[my_soul_itches]

She rolled her eyes. "I hang around with people who wear capes. If Magneto isn't too old to wear his outfit, you're not too old to wear shiny clothes." Not that she'd tell Magneto that. Even if he was theoretically a good guy now, he was still scary.

"Ever considered a strobe light? Or theme music? I bet that'd bump it up to a ten. Nine, at least."

[gourmetchairman]

Kaga wrinkled his nose. "A strobe light? Tried it once. Found it inelegant. Ah, but riding in on a horse, that was fun."
