Hope had graduated. So had Ili. Hope's grades weren't exactly perfect (far from it) but Hope was just happy that she graduated. It had been difficult coming back to Hogwarts after her career...they were less inclined to care about her education so whilst it didn't stop completely, it was definitely more relaxed. So when she came back to Hogwarts, she probably should have done in the year below. But she didn't want to be separated from Ili and Tate. So she stuck with the year level and had suffered. Everything went over her head. So she'd done abysmal in her exams, much to the dismay of her mum. However, she'd graduated anyway! So that was something to be proud of! She'd been relaxing during the summer, avoiding going online, even though people kept on talking about her. You'd think by this point, with virtually no content, that people would have left her alone. Moved onto someone. But no. They wanted her comeback. Which wasn't going to be happening any time soon. She'd invited Ili out to the retro. Which was a normal thing, Hope did this every other day and today should be no different. She was sitting in one of the back booths, waiting for Ili, and was fiddling on her phone. She was playing solitaire. She had her phone on dont disturb so if Ili had sent her anything then she didn't get it.

Crushing on Hope

Ask Iliana if she has her life together at all. Go on, ask! You might cause a mental breakdown while you're at it, though. Heaven knows she's been struggling to get her life together even with her mother's support and the constant help of the counsellor at Hogwarts. She did find a part-time as a bartender though, and is working diligently to fulfill all the training and prerequisites before she can start signing up for shifts. It's offered a welcome reprieve from the hell she's been living back home. Her sisters have dialed it back, but sometimes, Iliana feels inclined to think it's just as much of a curse as it is a blessing. It forces her to deal with her thoughts and the constant, nagging feeling that she isn't doing enough, and ugh. It's like she's stuck. She'd more or less avoided really talking with Hope about these problems to avoid burdening her, and had just worked her way through these emotions by spending more and more time at the bar. It helped a bit, even if it ate into her time with Hope as she was becoming something of a night owl. Out at nights, catching up on sleep during the days. She'd not been able to make it the last two times Hope wanted to meet up because of how exhausted she was, but she's determined to make it today no matter how she feels. She's running a bit late, but at least she's making an effort. "Hey," she says finally, exhaling as she plops on the bench across. "Sorry I'm later, I didn't realize what the time was."

Hope had long been use to spending all the time she could awake. Hope was a night owl. And a day owl. She would have been fine in meeting up at four in the morning, she can stay awake. But it's fine-work's work. Hope couldn't exactly hold it against Ili for prioritizing work. She did it herself for so long. "Hey it's fine! I was a little late myself!" Hope technically wasn't but she wasn't bothered with waiting for Ili. She was just glad this wasn't cancelled. Hope could only hang around Megan for so long before Megan would get sick of her. Hope didn't need for Ili to spell it out, Hope could assume easily that Ili wasn't in the best of mindsets. At least Zoe had...recovered? Hope thinks Zoe has. Not as impulsive. And whenever Hope was around, Zoe had better attitudes than previously. Still kept on trying to fly and still kept on crash landing. Balance wasn't quite her forte anymore. "Everything okay?"

Crushing on Hope

"Oh, yeah, definitely." The answer is rushed, so maybe it doesn't sound as sincere as Iliana wants it to, but she hopes her best friend will ignore her lapse in judgment or at least write it off as tiredness from overworking herself. She manages a smile that she hopes, outside the blatant exhaustion, will reassure her. "How are you? How's Megan and Tate? I honestly didn't mean to drop dead for so long, but getting the bartending license and learning the menu has certainly been.... a rollercoaster. But I have most of it down now, it's just a matter of working towards better shifts and making sure I can keep all of it in my head for all the quick orders."

Hope did think it was a very quick response and she slowly blinked but Ili had pushed on that Hope decided it was best not to pester and push her. She clearly was exhausted-maybe she should have said to meet Ili at a library or something that she could nap in the back. "Tate is Tate." She's sure Tate was a drug addict but moving on. "And Megan's great! She's doing her own little store online and trying to build a stable audience and everything. And that sounds stressful, I've been meaning to visit during one of your shifts but maybe I will when you settle down into it better. Are people nice? Or is it as bad as they say about hospitality?"

Crushing on Hope

"Oh, that's sweet. Tell her to drop the link or something. I think I could do a bit of promoting from back at the bar. Serving girls and gays really is a blessing. They won't be offended like straight guys when you mention their outfit," Iliana quips, rolling her eyes. Why is it men assume they're being called gay for simply talking about their outfits? Iliana and her tips thrive off being nice. That's all there is. She's never making any leaps. "Seems random, I know. But it happens. It's fun, though, and most people are nice. The troublemakers don't really like hanging around a place like my job." Not that it's a bad place or anything. Iliana's never understood the logic, but she won't question it when she's benefitting from this lapse in reasoning. "You never answered, though. How're you?"

"Didn't I?" Hope asked, but she wasn't surprised. She was going to zero in on whatever Ili was responding too rather than anything else. "You know, same old stuff. Living off my savings and sleeping my days away. My contract's going to end next year so I'm kind of scouting for another management." They're still refusing to let her go, even if they let her take a step back. Something about how they can still 'own' whatever she makes now. Hope didn't really care-it was expiring. "I still keep on thinking I should be back at Hogwarts right now. We should be. It's been months but graduation hasn't set in. Honestly-I don't know how I am. You know, when you're just...neutral and kind of just living day by day. Is that depressing? Sorry. Do you wanna order? Have we order yet, we haven't, have we?"

"Would you like some potatoes?" She asked through a mouthful of food, pronouncing each syllable separately (poh--tay--toe---sss). She was once again sitting at the bar at the retro like she often did, swinging her legs. Shay had become a regular at the establishment, almost coming in twice a day. Shay was dressed, for once, rather normally but her jacket was rainbow coloured and sparkly. "You know what would really bedazzle this place? Fish. Tropical fish. I really do think it would do this place nicely."

How Angus had become accustomed to Shay being a regular at his establishment, he'd never know. It was as if one day he was asking her to not come in at the last possible moment before closing to the next day anticipating it and genuinely enjoying their conversations. He supposed it was her infectious personality and the way they clicked, her reminding him of Abernathy before he went completely bonkers. Angus listened to her proposals with a little smile before shaking his head. "What part of tropical fish do you think screams Americana and the fifties?

"There are tropical fish down in South America, I think," Shay said as she tossed another piece of potato into her mouth. "And I don't know-liven it up a little. Make all the waitresses fly around on roller skates. I can start that trend." Shay would have great fun rollerskating up and down the aisles.

"South America is a little further south than traditional Americana, I think," Angus commented with a laugh. "You could? That'd involve you working here - or giving you some special privileges and I don't know which one is scarier."

"Both! You can pay me to have special privileges," Shay said with a grin, the idea sounding great fun. "Though...I'm thinking of becoming an auror. I do think that will be great fun too."

Angus' eyes widened a little as he raised an eyebrow. "You... an auror?" Angus didn't know whether to smile or have his mouth open. "I don't think daughter of a mafia boss who's probably causing issues for them is the type of candidate they'd be looking for..."

"No, silly, I won't tell them that," Shay said with a small shake of her head. "Though I haven't broken the news to daddy. Maybe I should soon. Maybe I'll send him a letter, an owl. I'll decorate it with glitter. I think he'll like that," she said, the shaking head turning into a nod. "And what do you mean probably? I only cause anyone problems when someone tries to hurt-" you "-the fish. Or the pizza."

"I never thought I'd hear the contemplation of if a mob boss would like a glitter letter or not," Angus said, taking a fry from the small plate of fries in front of him and popping it into his mouth. "But here I am." He offered Shay a smile before he stood up a little straighter. "Oh, fish and pizza? You've got some good priorities - how could the DMLE say no?"

"I know! They'd be absolutely bonkers to turn me away, I'd be such a lovely addition to the team," Shay said with a small tut. "And of course!! You can be the mafia boss and still like a little bit of glitter. All the colours and sparkles can really brighten up someone's day, you know?"

"I'm sure you would be," Angus replied with a smile, trying his best to at least sound supportive even if he did have his doubts. "That's true but aren't you like... desensitised to all of that when you're a mob boss? That's what I've been told at least."

"Daddy's not one of them. He's more desensitised to the murder and all the blood!" Shay corrected him with a nod. "And are you sure we don't need the mafia to, you know..." she trailed off to lean over to him, putting a hand next to her mouth to whisper (quite loudly), "...deal with your twin brother."
