Millicent twirled the fake tail of her cat costume around in a circle, waiting for Percy Weasley to step out of his private bathroom. She'd allowed him to pick his own costume, but made sure he would spend the entire evening occupied with various other Ministry personnel

"Hey," Kevin said as he joined Mike. "You look like someone just ran over your puppy. What gives?"

"Yeah? Well I hope one day I can honestly say mine's better than his," Kevin replied. "Speaking of Boot, where is that sod?"

"He took Susan home. I'm gonna head out whenever Lisa's ready I guess. I sort of split up their costume thing." He continued on only for the sake of polite conversation, he really just wanted to be left alone or go home. "I have no idea what they were supposed to be. Some anime shit she's into. Very elaborate."

"Yeah?" he looked around the room until his eyes lit on Lisa. "Leather? Let me guess...Boot was her slave for the evening."

Mike was about to make a face, then reconsidered. "Not sure who would be worse off in that situation... But no." He looked up and saw Lisa wandering through a crowd, most likely searching for Terry.

"You can go back to your date you know. I'm sure Lisa'll take over the babysitting role as soon as she finds me." He said the last part with a hint of frustration in his voice. He didn't want to be babysat at all.

"Fair enough," Kevin replied, getting up from the table. "You know my number if you need to vent about Red...or Blondie over there. I'll see you."

Mike watched Kevin stand. He felt like shit and hoped Kevin didn't think he was sore at him. "Thanks, mate."

"Later," he said, giving his mate a nod as he headed back over to Lavender.
