[Voula Asteria]

It wasn't Voula's birthday, but that was the excuse she was using for the massive party she'd thrown in the club she'd rented out in Diagon Alley. She'd been so detached from the wizarding world since graduation and made the decision to make a decent attempt at getting back in touch with the people she used to care about. To be honest, the only person she'd kept up with was Aleina - not including her brother Antoni though. She'd had some issues back in Greece when she'd graduated and rather than deal with them, had run away to the muggle world and become a supermodel.

There's actually a lot of backstory when it comes to Voula, but you know what? That doesn't actually matter at the moment. She looked amazing in the little black dress she wore, her hair down and her shoes tall. Maybe inviting everybody who had graduated in her year, the year before her, and the year after her, had been a bad idea, but the way she saw it, it couldn't hurt to see who would show up. There were a good amount of people already there, but nobody that she was specifically interested in conversing with.

A drink in her hand, Voula walked around the dance floor, looking for a familiar face or two to spend some time with.

[Logan O'Callaghan]

Logan had been wicked busy for the past couple of years with work and more work that he had pretty much lost contact with most of his friends from school. With trying to make it big with his band and creating all sorts of cool shit for his quidditch shop, he honestly didn't have time for much of anything besides work so when he received an invitation for his old friend V's party he made sure to make the time in his busy schedule to stop by. Since school he kept in contact with only Laura and that's because we all know that Logan had been and will always be madly in love with her. Of course at the moment she was not his, but he made plans to change that in the near future, that was if she still wanted him.

So with one hour until the party was supposed to start, Logan started getting ready. Yes, it took him one hour to shower and make himself all pretty in his skinny black jeans, white t-shirt, leather motorcycle jacket, and black chucks. He was a tough guy on the inside, but nothing about his appearance made anyone that didn't know him think other wise. This was because he had to look good. Some would call it metro, Logan just called it good breeding. Finally after getting ready in his London home, he walked the short walk to the Leaky Cauldron and entered Diagon Alley to find his old friend's party, but not without making a quick stop by his shop on the way.

When he arrived at the party, he saw a lot of faces, but none that looked familiar to him at all. Hell at this point he didn't even see V yet, so naturally Logan made his way to the bar for a drink because that is something he had always been good at. As he turned from the bar he spotted his friend that had helped him though so much "shit" back in school. She looked the same, but hotter because well, she was all grown up now. He casually made his way over to the now women with his drink in hand.

Voula Asteria... It's been too long.

[Sabriah Orrick]

Oh lala. Talking about one hell of a reunion. Well now tracking back Sabriah's history, hmm as far as everybody else is concerned after getting out of Hogwarts she flew somewhere in LA and became the face of every magazine in town, then went to becoming a full pledge actress in just a short few months of staying in America, got hooked with this shipping magnate who suddenly died and went back to London superbly depressed. But since she's now over with her psycho therapy sessions, Sabriah was hopefully back in shape. Ask if she was still in the acting business? let's see about that. If the offers good, the plot's interesting and definitely if her co-stars are wickedly gorgeous then it's a deal. But at the meantime, she's off to la la land bar hopping and trying to enjoy her single renewed life. Yes, and why not? Anyway, since she lost contact from all her girl pals she was damn excited to track them all. And so when she received something unexpected -- an owl from one of her best buddies, Voula -- Sabriah was superbly thrilled to be in it. Of course, everyone else could be there and yeah she needed to be in good shape.

After apparating her way towards one of the clubs in DA, she of course donned herself in that tight red vixen dress that she just bought when on a travel in Venice. Loosening up her dirty blonde curls and readjusting her bra so her boobs would look much nicer, Sab who was wearing that 3 inches Jimmy Choos was strutting her way inside the club. Spotting the gorgeousness of Voula, she immediately went towards her friend to give her a hug in that old Sabriah-i'm-so-thrilled-to-see-you kind of way.

V!!!!!!!!!

She yelled in that musical voice of hers but well still kept her poise. And whoa she's with..is that Logan?! Now where's Laura when you need her.

Logan O'Callaghan, is that you?

Sabriah gave the guy a smile, seemingly not sure if he remembers her because it had been ages for Merlin's sake.

[Britton Granger]

As Britton walked through the doorway of one of her favorite clubs in Diagon Ally, she noticed that it was much more packed than it normally was. She visited this particular club often, considering it was one that wasn't that far from her flat. When she had recieved Voula's invitation, she had invisioned a small setting with only a few people, but now she saw she was quite mistaken. Oh well, Britton loved new friends and didn't have a problem with the seemingly endless amount of friends Voula had...

Still, Britton frowned at the thought of the wait she would have to endure at the bar, but shrugged off her frustration after a few moments. It's not like she was in any rush to leave. As she pushed her way through a group of people she had never seen before, she spotted Voula across the room and waved.

She attempted to weave her way through another group of people but the seemed intent on not letting her pass, so she ended up turning around and making a whole loop around the bar until she met Voula on the other side. Practically out of breath, she smiled at Voula but said nothing at first. She eyed the bar from where she was, wondering if she should get a drink first or wait...she decided on the latter.

I was so glad you invited me! It's been so long, too long, actually...

It was then that Britton noticed Logan, standing not two feet away from her. Although Britton had changed a lot since her days at Hogwarts, one thing that hadn't changed was her attention span.

Logan! It's so good to see you too.

She felt as if she should hug both of them but didn't, for some reason. She nodded politely at the girl who she only vaugely remembered and then looked back at Logan and Voula.

[Voula Asteria]

Voula's outward demeanor brightened considerably as she finally saw somebody she actually knew. Logan O'Callaghan... wow... three years out of school had done that boy well. Too bad Voula had morals... if she didn't like Laura so much and know how in love with Logan her friend still was, she'd be all over him like white on rice.

You can say that again, look at you Logan!

She said with a grin, moving forward and hugging him briefly. Though the two of them hadn't been the best of friends in school, she'd still technically been in the small group of people he actually talked to, so she figured a hug wouldn't be out of line. Besides, she'd saved that boy's ass more than once, so she deserved that shit :P

She took another sip of her drink and was about to ask Logan how he'd been when Sabriah showed up and hugged her before she had a chance to do anything. Laughing politely, she hugged her friend back and made a mental note to thank her runway coach for the amazing balance she'd just exhibited, not spilling her drink had been something of a miracle.

Look who's back from Hollywood!

She greeted Sabriah, but a moment later her jaw dropped as they were joined by Britton. Talk about seeing a ghost... Voula hadn't even HEARD anything about this girl since they'd left school. Whether Britton wanted it or not, Voula gave her a hug, unable to believe she'd actually shown up.

Holy Crap! I knew there had to be at least ONE benefit to sending invitations to the entire student body... Britton Granger, it's been forever!

She remarked, and was about to open her mouth to say something about promising not to attempt to kill her, because that had been hilarious, but Voula refrained, partially because the other girl's attention was obviously elsewhere.

You guys remember Sabriah? She was a year younger than us.

Voula explained, making the introduction just in case the two of them didn't remember her. She'd been a year younger than them back in school, and while she hated having to point that out, she felt the need to offer an easy way for people to um... not remember?

What have you all been up to?

[Angelo Fazio]

Angelo really had no idea why he'd come to this. He wasn't friends with Voula... aside from the little fling they'd had way back in the day, he hadn't even spoken to her in years. He wasn't friends with any of her friends either, save for Laura, but he'd heard rumor that the entire class was invited, and he was curious to see if any of his classmates had matured. Also, he was somewhat interested to see if Rose would show up. Technically the two of them were still together, but with him playing Quidditch for Sicily, and acting as Captain of the team, he didn't really get to see much of her anymore. He'd owled her to tell her he was coming, but he hadn't gotten any response.

He was dressed amazingly, because he was just gorgeous like that. A completely black on black suit that accentuated his shape and made sure that the females he'd made his way through to get to the bar were completely attentive to him. Of course there were a few familiar faces, some people asked for autographs, but there wasn't anybody Angelo felt the need to stop and talk to.

He made his way to the bar and passed Voula talking to a few of her friends. He recognized O'Callaghan and wished that Sean was there with him for a moment, but rather than start anything, he waited until he had Voula's eye and attention.

Happy Birthday.

He said with a smirk on his face before making his way to the bar. He knew it wasn't her birthday, the only reason for that being they both shared the same birthday. Back in school Professor Zagoris had always made a big deal of Voula's birthday, and though Angelo never said anything, he'd always thought that he should get just as much special treatment. Anyways, he walked over to the bar and sat on a stool, ordering a firewhiskey and looking around in hopes of seeing somebody he actually gave a shit about.

[Logan O'Callaghan]

Looked like Logan had arrived just in time. Everyone seemed to be coming out of no where and it was a bit surreal for him. He hoped that a select few people would show up and that others, well, wouldn't. But since V invited the whole school, he was sure he would encounter some of the people that got on his nerves, but at the moment, none of those said people had arrived. He quickly hugged V before hearing the yelling of her name from close by, though he did not turn to see who it was at the moment.

And you, you look stunning.

He was not saying this to be polite because it was true, but it was not like he was trying to hit on her. Though if he didn't give a shit about Laura, he would because she was very good looking. Anyways, he gave her his usual smile and finally turned to see who it was that just spoke his name. Of course he remembered Sabriah, though they didn't hang with the same crowd or have that many conversations. Logan was just good with faces, not great with names, but he knew if he had met someone before. After taking a sip from his drink he nodded politely only to have another familiar face join their little group. It was Britton Granger whom he had known since he was eleven years old even though they were in different houses. Logan would consider her a good friend, hell they did associate with the same people.

Britton? Well Hell, this is a surprise.

This was spoken under his breath because honestly Britton was not someone who he expected to show up, though he was very excited that she did. He quickly gave her a side hug before taking one more sip of his drink.

Good too see you too Britton and yes V, I remember Sabriah.

Now to answer V's question, Logan was not one to give too many details about his life in large groups like this. Sure he had been doing his music thing and inventing the latest equipment for the wonderful sport of quidditch, but he still had his shady dealings that were not about to be the topic of conversation.

You know the usual, playing some shows and spending time in the...

His attention suddenly moved to one of his childhood enemies, Angelo Fazio. Just the look of the guy pissed him off, but he was older and more mature now, so he was not about to start a duel in the middle of V's party. One, it would surly get him in trouble, and two, piss off his friend. Instead, he stood there quietly , no longer taking any notice of the guy's existence.

[Sabriah Orrick]

Finally releasing her quick hug, Sab turned to admire her unfading sense of style. Oh yeah, figured out she needed to talk to Voula about her recent escapade with guess who..take a pick between Mister D.Winchester and that Vegas model hottie. But anyway save that for later girly talk.

Oh the little black dress. Lovely!

Seemingly Voula's still the light of the party and the woman's charm to get people from coming back from the grave was still inexplicable. Sabriah wouldn't really be surprised if she'll be knocked down later by some of their old friends. Their days back at the school were seemingly one of the coolest moment of her life and having this sort of getting-together -ind of thing was what she actually needed now. And upon looking at the new girl who walked towards the group, Sab retorted with a polite nod back at her.

Wow. This is really turning out into a good ole reunion, wizarding style

Sabriah retorted with a smile towards Britton and Logan, after the little introductions that made her realize yet again that she was probably the youngest amongst the crowd. Although she and Lucy seriously hated being considered a year younger from the crowd that they chill out with, but eh, it's the freaking truth. And yeah speaking of Lucy, where the hell is that Avery girl? Sab hadn't seen her and Aleina for ages too.

Been on temporary leave from work, until some good project would come out. But as of the meantime, I'm just enjoying London at it's fullest

Then when a waiter came to ask her if she needs anything, Sab simply took a glass of firewhiskey from the guy's plate of drinks and gave him a wink before returning to face the growing crowd. But what caught her attention the most was the devilish face of one Angelo Fazio. Damn. She could still remember how he was on her to hook-up-list back in the days. Eyeing him, Sabriah watched as he went towards Voula and greeted her. Birthday girl huh? Yeah, of course Sab knew it wasn't the Voula's birthday or anything so when Angelo greeted that, Sab couldn't help but slightly giggle. And yes, although she was much closer with Sean Gavens, she still could remember those fun times that they had ages ago. Seriously, if Ang wasn't tightly bulwark by Rose's claws, Sab could be all over him. But since both are known players, it would just be too ironic. But seeing Ang isolating himself from the crowd actually made a playful smirk on her lips. Okay she just needed a few more seconds. So leaning towards V, Sab simply inquired.

So is Ang still with Rose?

She spoke curiously. You know how she loves to gossip but seemingly it depends on the subject if the person was kind of let's say worth it.

[Aleina Avery]

It wouldn't be a party without Aleina Avery. Or, at least that's what she told herself as she walked through the door. In her hand she carried a bottomless bag of confetti, which she had planned to throw up in the air at every opportunity. You know what? Entering the club was a perfect time for some confetti fun! Reaching into the bag, she grabbed up a handful of rainbow colored stars and glitter and threw it up in the air.

WOOOOOOO!!!! ALEINA IS HERE!!!!

Of course, since it was her BFFs unbirthday party, you would think that she would have been the first one there. Duh, she was and she had even helped set everything up buuuuut someone had to run around through the streets to announce the big bash. Owl invites just weren't enough for such a big occasion. Nope, Aly made a point of researching all of the old gang's addresses and personally going to the cool people's houses and throwing confetti in the air as she gave them all a singing invite-agrams.

To be clear, yes, Aleina had been drinking.

Anyways, she made her rounds, first to hug V and throw some confetti over the both of them. Giggling, she looked around the room to see who else had shown up for such an awesome party. Spotting Logan, she ran over and tackled him, for no other reason than she could. Of course, she threw confetti as she jumped back up to her feet and held out a hand to help robo-logan up.

LOGAN! It's been way too long!!! How's the band? I absolutely love you guys by the way!

Looking around again, Aly saw Sabriah and gave her a similar kind of welcome. Yes, she ran over and tackled her and threw more confetti. Yes, they would all probably be drowning in confetti by the end of the night.

SABRIAHHHH!!!! WOW! I've missed you, man!

Next it was Britton's turn. Holy cow Aly couldn't believe how long it had been since she had seen some of these people. YEARS! Yes, it had definitely been years since she had seen Britton. Awwww, of course she received a tackle hug all of her own, followed by more glittery confetti.

BRITTON! It's been forever!!! What the crap have you been up to?!

Next, was Angelo. The two of them had neverrrrr gotten along, which was why she strutted over with a smirk. Grabbing a nice big handful of confetti, she stuck her tongue out before throwing it right into his face. Laughing, Aly then threw her arms around him and gave Ang a biiiiig hug. It was a partyyyyy and she was drunk so yes, she would be able to put their differences aside... for tonight anyways. Ok, she wouldn't start anything major... confetti in the face? Yeah, she would probably do it again. Not now though, cause that wouldn't be funny since she just did thattttt!

So nice to see you, Fazio.

Pretending to look down and around him, Aly brought a finger to her lips and tapped it as though she was thinking about something.

Hmmm... either Rose got good at invisibility charms, or she actually released you from your ball and chain.

Giggling, she threw more confetti up in the air and ran back over to V, tackling her.

GREAT PARTY BEST FRIEND!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

[Voula Asteria]

I honestly have no idea.

She answered Sabriah's question about Angelo just as Aleina came running in throwing confetti everywhere. Voula laughed and wondered just how much her best friend in the universe had been drinking in the few hours since she'd last seen her. Not that Aly wasn't allowed to drink or anything, but there had been a few times over the years when BOTH of them had completely overdone it. She laughed louder as Aleina decided to be Angelo's welcome committee, then gave her best friend a hug as she came over to the group.

Aww look, you made him run away!

Voula remarked as she watched a disgusted looking Angelo get off of his barstool and brush the confetti off of him before heading to a booth somewhere.

Mister famous quidditch star is too good for us little people apparently.

She scoffed before moving over to the bar and ordering a round of drinks for everybody. See? Voula was nice like that.

[Sabriah Orrick]

So there's a possibility that they weren't. Hmm, that's interesting. But before Sabriah could even ask another question, the sudden appearance of Aleina Avery made the whole club started to ramble. The girl's presence was something to watch out for especially with her random crazy quirks. But definitely, she was one of those few that Sabriah love like whoa. So when the brunette girl lunged forward

ALYYY! I know right! I missed you too!

Sabriah gaily returned the hug while brushing away the colorful confetti that Aly had throw on her. Yes it's been like what -- three years but she still hadn't changed. Then seeing the pissed off look that Ang gave after Aly did her confetti shower thing again, her eyes darted following him enter some booth. With a wicked playful grin crossing her face, Sabriah turned towards the group.

I think I need to retouch..be back in a few lovelies

She muttered with a wink before she's off to be with Mister Hotshot.

[Layla Powers]

It had been a very long time since Hogwarts and Layla had gone off after graduating and done her own thing. She knew that people had changed and that Change was good most of the time. She sat down on the porch of her house and petted the owl that had just delivered a letter or invite I should say to V's Birthday. It had been so long that she had not remembered when V's birthday was. She set the letter down on the table and looked around hoping that the skies would clear before she was going to leave.

She had done a lot with her life, Going to Muggle College to learn Graphic Design and Photography, and that was where she was discovered, in her photography class. Her teacher has told her that she would be great no only behind the camera but in font of it as well and thats when she decided to go out and try modeling. She had run into V every once in a while after she started the modeling when they were both set to do the same runway shows. She shook her head and came back to reality. Walking into the house she changed clothes and headed to Diagon Ally.

Walking into the club she saw many people their some she knew and some she didn't know. She turned and walked to the bar where it was there that she saw V and smiled. Walking over she saw a few more faces one of wait it couldn't be, She tilted her head and looked a little harder it was Logan, Wow she hadn't seen him in a while, well since Hogwarts, She also saw Britton, Angelo, Sabriah, and Aleina.

"Hey everyone, long time no see.

[Lucy Avery]

Did someone order a Lucy Avery? No? Oh. Well, she was here anyways. Duh she would be at this eventful party with her old battalion. Aly was her sister, to state the obvious and therefore V had become a good friend of Lucy's. Even though that was the case, Lucy had her own garble of friends from her own year (including Miss Sabriah Orrick) so she actually hadn't seen Voula for some time. When she got the invite, she did tell Sean but who knew if he would turn up. He was off playing quidditch so often that they barely saw one another and on top of that, there was the tension between Logan and him and Ang etc etc.

That basically meant Lucy would be arriving alone, but hopefully leaving together. Anyway, that was besides the point because Lucy was all excited about seeing V and Sab and everyone else. Wearing a cream coloured loose fitting dress complete with black belt and heels, she entered the club of all clubs and began the hunt. It seriously was like a lion on the prowl in this place...people were the long grass and friends = prey, k? good.

Finally spotting a small group covered in what looked to be confetti, Lucy grinned and made her way over, giving Voula, Sab and Aly biiiig hugs and smiling to Logan and Britton and everyone else. She hadn't seen Ang wonder off or she so would have given him a hugathon too. She was the Avery that did get along with him see. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the usual suspects"

[Aleina Avery]

Aleina rolled her eyes as she watched Angelo walk off. Whatever then. If he wanted to go off on his own and have his own little private pity party then whatever. Aly was too drunk and too happy to see everyone to care. Hopping up on a barstool, she motioned for the bartender to give her another drink before she spotted Layla walk in. Holy COW! Who knew that Voula was just THAT awesome? Her little shindig was bringing out more people than any school reunion would and that was just fantastic. Because this was way funner than any dorky school sponsored event would be!

Layyyyyyla! Welcome! Have a seat! Have a drink! Tell me what's new? It's been forever!!!

To break her routine up a bit, Aly this time threw her arms around Layla and gave her a biiiig hug, and then threw the confetti in the air as she pulled back. Grinning, she waved the bartender back over to get drinks for those that had none, who had apparently dropped Aly's drink and ran. Or at least in Aly's mind, that's what happened. Why? Who knows? Maybe because Aly thought herself to be some hot scary shit when she was drinking.

Thennnn, Miss Lucy Avery came waltzing in through the door. Of course Aly hugged her sister back before making it rain confetti some more. She noticed that her sister was alone, which was super good as far as she was concerned. There was already one emo quidditch star sulking on his own... correction... now sulking with Sabriah... or maybe it was sucking... WHATEVER!!! Hopping back up on her stool, Aly cheered before throwing more confetti in the air.

[Attila Bathory]

The doormen outside the club were having quite a chat amongst themselves as people entered the place. In the distance, and slowly coming closer, one could hear the sound of hooves along the cobblestone road. Closer and closer, till finally a shining black horse appeared and on top, it's rider, flowing neatly cut brown hair and a black cloak around him. Pulling up to the club, the doormen gave the man and odd look, as he swung off the saddle and roped the horse up to a nearby pole.

Keep an eye on her, good horses are hard to find.

Tossing a sack of galleons to the door men, he turned to the horse and placed both hands on the side of its face.

Don't worry buddy, Attila's just going to say hi to some old friends.

The horse seemed to blare out its nostrils and Attila shook his head. They were together for quite a long time, going on near two years now. Ok, I should clarify that. Attila was NOT into bestiality, it was not that sort of thing. Compatriots really, he relied on the horse, Aries on countless occasions and was rescued from countless jams because of it. His work, what you would call it, is usually kept top secret but we can give some information as to what he has been doing.

After becoming Detention Director and Dueling Instructor at Hogwarts, Attila left due to boredom and a desire to do something worthwhile. During that time, he travelled back to Romania and became involved with a secret organization dedicated to the suppression of dangerous forces. Sure, sounds odd for a Slytherin who once was a member of the DE, but life is odd. Besides, he was bred for this position, he later found out, and so, he has been travelling the world ever since, on missions for the organization. He was on a mission when an owl dropped off this letter, since he was in the neighborhood, he figured he would stop by and see some old friends. Taking off his cloak, he put it over the horse as the doormen led Aries away. Dressed in a black sport jacket, black pants, white collar shirt with the top few buttons unbuttoned, Attila strode on into the party.

Walking in, he went to the person whom the party was held for first of course.

Happy Birthday Voula.

Then he looked around and was surprised by all the people in attendance. Most of whom he knew, at least he thought he did, because hey, with time changing, people could be different, he was different as well.

Quite the cast of interesting characters we have here.
