The school year was off to a splendid start! Gus had found that the students had all behaved themselves rather well thus far into the year and it was about time that he had a catch up with his peers. Many of the staff had turned out for drinks at The Three Broomsticks. It had been a wonderful evening and only a few stragglers remained. He loved spending his time in France with his daughter, travelling a little with her through the country and popping to Spain for a quick visit, but he did also miss good ol' England ... or Scotland. He missed being able to meet with his friends. His daughter was incredible and despite now being officially divorced, Gus still got on well with his ex. She was pretty good at allowing him time with their daughter and she was in her final year of school so he hoped that next year he'd be able to see much more of her and not be limited to just Summer Holidays and a bit of time at Christmas.
He chatted to a lot of people, enjoying time with them all. They spoke of Tristan and Paris and how it seemed the Astronomy position was as cursed as the Defence Against the Dark Arts position. Of course they'd all had a laugh, reassured both the Astronomy and Defence Professors that they'd both be absolutely fine come the end of the year but it was kind of an empty promise. They couldn't guarantee that, and both positions really did seem to be cursed right now. Two Astronomy Professors in as many years. Plenty of Defence Professors too. It was kind of shocking, but Dumbledore knew what he was doing. He'd be more vigilant this year ... Yeah, well that called for another round!
The round was much smaller than it had been at the beginning of the night and even though there were still a few people in the pub, it was clear that Rosmerta was almost ready to shut up shop. Last rounds had been called and this was their. Gus sat down at his seat, setting the tray and snacks down, then picking up his pint as he slid his chair in with his legs and arse. He looked about the table at the remaining staff from Hogwarts and raised his glass, "To a bloody fine year!" He proclaimed, lifting his glass higher still and towards the centre of the table where other glasses met with his, the clinking a truly satisfying sound, he thought as her brought his beer to his lips and took a sip. By the time he lowered his glass he had a little foamy moustache sitting above his top lip with Gus none the wiser.

 A happy soul is the best shield for a cruel world
As was the case more often than not, Hazel had been late to the gathering. She wasn’t the sort to fuss over her appearance or take stock in arriving “fashionably late” but after having seen the last of her students to the common room for the evening, Hazel had stopped in at home to check on her parents. Dad was in a talkative mood, but eventually her mum shushed him and hurried Hazel along so she could go meet her friends – Hazel always felt like a child when her mum spoke like that. “Off you go, have fun with your mates, dear. And don’t wake your father when you get in.” Honestly, the woman was using the same script from twenty years ago, but Hazel didn’t mind it. Her colleagues were her friends, most of them, and the ones who weren’t considered friends either weren’t all that terrible to hang around with or didn’t bother joining them for “staff meetings”.
The evening was in full swing by the time she arrived, but they made her feel welcomed and not at all as though she had missed anything. There was a somber moment of remembrance for the professors, friends they’d lost since last term, but overall it was a jovial evening. Hazel was happy to be surrounded by so many wonderful witches and wizards yet again. Slowly their numbers began to dwindle, and their party grew more intimate. Gus had bought the final round as last call was ordered, and Hazel lifted a mug from the tray of drinks he’d sat on the table and raised in salute. “Here, here,” she replied, clinking her glass against the others before taking a sip of the amber ale. She nearly choked on her beer as she looked at Gus, who sat unassumingly with a foam mustache. “That’s a good look for you,” she smiled, waving her finger over the top of her own lip, drawing his attention to his new facial feature.

The warmth of the pub was delightful. It was more than just actual warmth, it wasn't something physical but you could certainly feel it. It was the way in which people chattered with ease amongst themselves, laughed and enjoyed one another's company. It was the way someone stumbled and those that witnessed laughed then patted the stumbler on the back in a show of support. Things were fun without ever getting mean - it just wasn't necessary for a good time amongst good people. People were comfortable around one another and as the fire in the hearth began to die down, the pub grew dimmer and the chatter softened.
Hazel pointed to Gus' face, telling him "that" was a good look for him. That? "That"? What was, "That"? Gus tried looking down his nose in the hope that he might see what she meant but there was nothing that he could see. He realised she'd been pointing to her lips to indicate there was something on his own, and so rather than grabbing a napkin and dabbing his upper lip, he stretched out his tongue to lick away whatever was there. The small bubbles that lined his top lip, in an ever so adorable moustache, popped upon contact with his tongue and he could smell the beer better than he could taste it. Such a small amount of beer could hardly be tasted when compared with the mouthful he'd just swallowed. "Tastes pretty good too." He smiled brightly, "So how was your summer? Get up to much mischief?" While it had been great chatting away with everyone, Gus rather liked chatting one on one with someone, especially Hazel. He told himself that it was because he'd been friends with her dearly departed husband but it wasn't just that, there was something else there. He thought of Hazel as a friend to her in her own way. If they didn't have any kind of connection then they'd definitely still be friends.

Her first year and she was already loving it! A start of year piss up with her new co-workers was fine, but now one at the end of the very first month? Excellent! These were certainly her kind of people! Helley enjoyed a few good drinks, and while she would never drink while working at the school, it was great to be able to come out for a few drinks and let loose a little. Helley hadn't been sure that she'd really fit in among the staff of Hogwarts, but there were still a couple from her own school years knocking around, and she had Hazel there. If Hazel wasn't there then there would have been a strong possibility that Helley would have stayed in her job at the Leaky, something she felt a teensy wincy bit guilty about leaving what with Tessa having been ready to pop, but she needed to carry on with her life, and Tessa would have plenty of support, it'd be easy running the pub. What wouldn't be easy was raising a baby - eesh!
Apart from Hazel and the Professors that had been at the school for eons, Helley didn't know anyone around, but she was happy enough to mingle. She had to get on with these people because she was stuck with them now for nine months of the year or so. One month down and about eight to go. It wasn't too bad. If they met like this every month, to talk and have such a relaxed staff meeting, then this job would definitely be easier than she thought it would be. Drinking was certainly something she was pretty damn good at.
The evening started to die down and people had left while others were leaving. Helley had stuck around because why would she leave early!? Talk about the students, embarrassing moments from the month, and even pairing up students that had a definite interest in one another had been discussed, but things had moved on to random nonsense that Helley was growing bored of. At least Gus had got in the last round and she raised her glass, not bothering to knock it against anyone else's glass because she wanted to drink right away. She took a couple of gulps of her beer and then looked between Gus and Hazel, a little dumbfounded but Gus' awkward, and quite frankly terrible, attempt at talking to Hazel. "Boo!" She called out, leaning back as she did and shouting up to the ceiling. Once she was done she lent forward again and looked at Gus. She'd not known him long, granted, but she had known Hazel for pretty much near enough their entire lives and she knew the bold, sexy woman had a thing for the Care of Magical Creatures Professor, whether she knew it herself or not. "You can do better than that, Bones!" She chuckled immaturely, "Bones." She giggled, "You two should bone." She said, laughing to herself and lifting the glass to her mouth, drinking more of the beer while going a little cross eyed looking at the glass.

A happy soul is the best shield for a cruel world
Bright eyes sparkled as Hazel smiled, watching Gus lick the foam from his upper lip and claim it to be delicious. He was such a goof sometimes. Just being in his presence made her in a better mood, as most of her friends’ presence could accomplish, not that she had been in a rubbish mood at any point today. The day had been rather delightful, as had her summer holiday. “Sophie and I went to visit her grandparents in Wales for a bit, before they all ran off on a trip to-” A familiar booing sounded from the seat next to her and Hazel’s eyebrows raised as she looked over at Helley, who was fitting right in with her first staff meeting. “You’re as bad as the students, Helley, honestly.” Hazel kept a good natured smile on her face as she shook her head. Wilhelmina had always been bold and unafraid to speak her mind or any little thought that popped into her head. She had little, if any, brain to mouth filter and Hazel generally thought she was absolutely hysterical. The pair had been friends for so long, Hazel couldn’t remember a time before Helley’s boisterous comments filling any eency bit of silence.

Conversation with Hazel was going to be the highlight of his evening. She could talk about anything in the world and it would still be the most enjoyable part of the night. Hazel was wise and insightful, he smile brightened every dark corner of the world and her eyes were magical, Gus was certain of it. They waty the sparkled and shined was not average, they were mystical and to add to the illusion she dressed like a stunning gypsy woman. She had the look like she could leave at a moments notice and it was exciting! Gus knew that Hazel wasn't really like that - they'd known each other for five years! - but she looked so enchanting. If she asked him to run away with her in the night - he would. Without a doubt, he just knew that he would.
She was in the process of telling him about her summer. He wanted to know how Wales was but they were interrupted. Gus turned his head to look at Helley, his eyes lingering on Hazel until the very last second. "Uhm," He said, his brow furrowing slightly as his head tilted just a bit, almost curious as to what was wrong with his conversation of choice because he truly was interested to hear about Hazel's summer! They'd not had chance to talk about it yet and this was perfect, was it not? "Bone?!" He repeated, his brow furrowing a little more. He didn't know a lot about this new professor other than she was a friend of Hazel's and exceedingly bold, that was a given, "I'm not sure that's entirely appropriate." He chuckled, raising his glass and taking a sip, hoping she'd not say such an awkward thing again but that he came off as friendly in trying to get her to cease such an awkward and somewhat terrifying topic right now.

It wasn't easy to love Helley, something Helley was more than aware of. She could rub people up the wrong way and she never let anyone in close. She once dated a guy for seven months and never told him her address. She'd once dated a guy for four months and never told him her surname. She was closed off and untrusting and she had no intentions of changing. Tonight was no different. She wasn't going to change and she was only going to push these two love birds closer together. All Helley knew about Gus was what she'd heard from Hazel, who would talk endlessly about the cute Care of Magical Creatures Professor. Honestly, it was adorable. She had such an obvious crush on the guy and Gus had to feel the same way because he'd be a bloody numpty if he didn't. These two belonged with one another, even if it was for a single night! They needed to let loose and if they weren't admitting it to one another, then she'd give them both a helping hand and a shove in the right direction. The right direction being toward a bedroom. Any bedroom.
"Appropriate shmem-opriate." She retorted, less than witty. "I see the way you look at her, Bones, so don't even think of denying, man." She pushed her chair out with the back of her legs and winked at Hazel, a small smirk playing on her lips as she raised her pint to her lips and took a couple of good gulps, "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be anywhere else." She made a fancy little bow, flourinshing her free hand at the wrist as she did so, looking up to Gus as she stood straight and then off she went on her merry little way, nodding her head to Rosmerta with a grin as she settled up at the bar for a last chat of the night.

A happy soul is the best shield for a cruel world
Helley truly was a wonderful person and an even better friend, if you managed to get past the several guarded layers that she regularly wore. Hazel counted herself lucky to be among the chosen few that Helley considered trustworthy, and in return Hazel confided in her long-time friend as much now as she had when they were both teenagers. Every crush, every embarrassment, every pain was confessed to the blonde and in having done so, Helley knew Hazel better than nearly anyone else. Apart from Alvin, Helley was the only person who could predict what Hazel wanted even before she knew it, but Helley also had a nasty habit of stirring the cauldron simply to make some entertainment for herself, which was obviously the case now. “You get used to that,” Hazel said, half apologetic and half amused. “She thinks everyone who’s friendly to each other want to…” Hazel raised her eyebrows, not sure how to finish her sentence and doubly not sure whether she actually wanted to finish it. She took a large gulp of her beer instead of finishing her thought, not wanting to think of doing that with Gus, but also not not wanting to think of it. Oh, that deserved another big sip!

What- Was this-? Honestly just What? Gus was at a loss, he had no idea what was happening and this new teacher was really reading the whole vibe between himself and Hazel completely wrong. Sure Hazel looked incredible tonight in a dress that hugged her womanly figure while still left plenty to the imagination, and yes, Hazel had a way about her that could make him laugh while simultaneously making him feel nervous to be around her, but that wasn't anything to do with ... anything like Wilhelmina had been implying! Merlin's balls, no! He was just that way around her because, well he wasn't sure why, but it had nothing about wanting to spend intimate time with the her. She was a colleague and the widow of a friend of his. "Oh no," He chuckled, "I don't think I could ever get used to that." He took a mouthful of his beer, inhaling as he did so and accidentally breathing the bitter taste into his lungs. The way the light had struck Hazel had made Gus realise that he indeed thought of Hazel in an inappropriate way for one to think of a work colleague and widow of your school mate. He was coughing and spluttering as he lowered his beer too fast to the table and accidentally spilt the brown beverage everywhere.
"Sor-" He coughed, unable to get a full word out, but he was going to try, "Sorry," He spluttered, covering his mouth with the inside of his right elbow, his face now turning a spectacular shade of red while he tried gathering anything that might stop the flow of the beer from reaching Hazel and her wonderful frock. Coughing still, and truly without much thought beyond Hazel's dress, Gus grabbed his jacket from the back of his chair and threw it onto the wet mess on the table, forgetting about the big bit of wood in his pants.

A happy soul is the best shield for a cruel world
Lost in her own slightly inappropriate thoughts, Hazel missed whatever it was that had occurred to make Gus choke on his drink. Eyes widening with the sudden panic of momentary shock, Hazel set her glass down hurriedly, though what she expected to do with her free hands as Gus coughed was yet to be determined. “Are you alright?” she asked, the panic easing in her voice as the surprise of his coughing fit began to wear off, a hint of laughter tinging the edges of her words. Amber liquid spilled over the table and in a rush to avoid it spilling onto their laps. “Oh, Merlin!” she exclaimed, and Hazel turned to grab a few napkins from the now empty seat beside her. The remaining stragglers of their once boisterous staff meeting were far and few between, some heading out the door even as Hazel turned back to the spilled beer only to find Gus’ jacket laid on top of it. “What are you doing?!” she asked with a laugh, turning from the spill to Gus, a wide, open smile on her face. He had rendered her measly paper napkins unnecessary but now he was without a jacket and getting back up to the castle was going to be a chilly walk for sure. He gaze fell as she laughed and she caught sight of something that didn’t quite register at first. She looked again then upon realizing what she had seen, she quickly looked away. Pressing her lips together to keep from laughing, Hazel looked away from her friend, not wanting to embarrass him by pointing out the rather impress show he was putting on.

Gus had absolutely no idea what he was doing. It was becoming more and more apparent as he acted that he was indeed a little inebriated by the continuous rounds of drinks this evening. He knew he wouldn't be completely sober but throwing his jacket over the mess drunk? Well he truly wasn't thinking right, and to make matters worse he was making a fool of himself in front of Hazel, and also a couple other peers. Merlin he hoped that new Professor didn't read too much into this, he didn't want her making some kind of crude sexual actions behind his back or worse, to his face. She seemed like quite a bold individual and it most certainly didn't seem beyond her to do such a thing. How was Hazel even friends with her? Not that there was something unfriendly about his new colleague, he could see how she appealed to a certain calibre of friends, but he hadn't thought Hazel would be the sort to consort with someone so brazen as she. "Oh bollocks." He laughed, coughing once more, just clearing his throat a little more. He may as well have thrown flobberworm mucus around the place. He hoped Hazel wasn't going to judge him too harshly for this debacle.
"I've no sodding idea." He chuckled truthfully, standing up right, hands on his hips as he looked at the mess he'd made. He took a deep breath in and sighed it out, resigned to the fact he'd just lost the majority of his pint to the table and floor. He looked to Hazel who seemed to be trying not to look at the scene he'd created. Rosmerta, ever bless he heart was around from the other side of the bar an clearing up the mess, glancing at Gus with a look he could only interpret to me 'You bloody dickhead'. Of course this was how he'd ended the evening. He was a bloody dickhead! "Thanks, Roz." He chuckled sheepishly. "I guess that's my cue to get my butt back up to the castle." He said, rocking forward on his feet a little. He leant forward and picked up the glass he'd spilt, knocking back the last of the beer and then lifting up his dripping jacket. He rolled it into some form of lump and let it drip over a couple of damp napkins on the table. What a tit he was.

A happy soul is the best shield for a cruel world
Despite the spilled beer and the theatrics that came along with it, Hazel was having a wonderful time with Gus. They always had fun together, even if they weren’t partaking in a little pub crawl around Hogsmeade. He was a kind man with a warm heart and a brilliant sense of humor. He always had her laughing in the great hall or at the back of an actual staff meeting. Before Helley had taken up the role of professor, Hazel considered Gus her closest colleague at Hogwarts and it was quite possibly still true, despite the blonde who was now making lewd gestures with her hands and mouth behind Gus’ back from across the bar. Hazel threw her a look as Gus made mention of retiring for the evening, and she felt a little wind deflate from her sails. “Not like that, you’re not,” she said in her best professor voice, still laughing throughout. “You’ll need a proper jacket. It’s too bloody cold to walk all that way without something dry.” Pushing her chair back away from the table, Hazel stood up. “Come on,” she said, taking Gus by the hand and tugging him toward the only exit they wouldn’t have to pass by Helley to leave. Hazel didn’t want her friend thinking anything untoward was going to happen just because they were leaving together. They would just pop over to Hazel’s cottage and she’d fetch one of her father’s coats for Gus to wear on his journey up to the castle.
“I’m just over here,” she said, pointing down the street that led to her home as she folded her arms across her chest to stave off the cool air. She’d never brought Gus or any other man back to her house, not since Alvin. It was funny that she felt a slight tinge of excitement at the idea of inviting him into her home. Having company over shouldn’t have elicited any nerves and yet here they were. “I can wash that one for you, so you don’t give any of the students the idea you’re a huge lush,” she said with a laugh, her pearly teeth showing as she smiled and looked his direction. “And you can use one of my father’s tonight. We’ll have to be quiet going in, though. They’ll be in bed already.” Bringing a boy over in the middle of the night and sneaking in without her parents’ knowledge. Was she a teenager all over again?

Gus knew he was being a mess right now. He wasn't in a mess, he was the mess. He was creating such a scene and honestly, he had no idea how to make it stop. Usually he was a little quirky, a little funny, but he always had his head screwed on straight, however tonight it seemed he was being a right twit and not thinking anything through and there was really no reason for it. He'd spent plenty of time with Hazel before and yes, while he most certainly thought of her as attractive, because she was a very attractive individual, there could be no denying it at all, he'd never been in such a tizzy so as to make a spectacle of himself like this! Gus knew it was unfair but he was blaming Helley for this. She'd got in his mind, stirred things up, made comments that were in no way appropriate, and now he was overcompensating to appear as just a friend or ... no, yeah, just a friend, that was all he was, that was all he could ever been, even if he wanted more - which he most certainly did not! She was Alvin's widow for Merlin's sake!
Hazel seemed to have more control over the situation than he had. She was far more in the moment than he and she no doubt thought he was being a complete wanker but at least she wasn't showing it. She was actually being pretty decent, which he expected, to be honest. She took his hand which admittedly made his heart skip a small beat but it was only because he hadn't been expecting it, he'd honestly expected a slap around the back of the head or something. Yeah. That was it.
Once out of the pub Gus was slapped but not with a hand, the cold air was so much cooler than he'd been expecting and that was even after a few drinks. Hazel took her hand back and looked to be freezing and there he was with no dry jacket to offer. He was such a putz but he just followed on, not really sure what to say because honestly, there wasn't a lot he could say when all his thoughts were about what an idiot he'd been, or how Helley was a pain in the arse, or how Hazel was far too kind and beautiful. "Oh, what? No," Did she honestly just offer to wash his jacket? She had, hadn't she. "No, no, not at all, you don't have to do that." He had the jacket bundled up in his hand, "I'll wash it when I get back to the castle, no big deal or anything." Merlin the idea of her doing his washing was absurd! She wasn't his wife, and even then she still wouldn't expect her to do his washing, not after it was all his own fault his jacket had become such a mess in the first place. "Thanks, Hazel." He smiled, so pleased he had a decent friend looking out for him and hopefully, next time he saw her, his mind would be a little less chaotic and he'd be able to thank her properly for her help this evening. And her father. He'd need to thank her father for borrowing the bloke's jacket, even if he didn't know about. Merlin he hoped her parents were asleep, it'd be awkward if he met her parents tonight, right? Yeah, definitely.

A happy soul is the best shield for a cruel world
From the street corner, Hazel followed along the retaining wall until they reached the stone steps that led up to the front garden and eventually the front door. “Watch out for the hydrangea,” she said as the walked the steps up to the porch. “My father hasn’t had a chance to trim it back yet and it’s been getting a little clingy.” She smiled as she skirted out of the plant’s reach, a crawling hydrangea related the typically docile vine plant but with a penchant for grabbing the ankles of passersby and tripping them up. Pulling her keys from a pocket of her dress that was designed to be hidden, Hazel unlocked the front door and opened it carefully, avoiding the squeak that accompanied a fast-moving pull. The inside of the cottage was dark and Hazel flicked her wand toward the lamp that stood near a decorative trunk by the door, dropping her keys on the trunk and ushering Gus inside. She shut the door gently behind him.
The melodic tones of her father’s snoring drifted down the stairs and let Hazel know that her parents were in fact asleep. Snoring of this volume meant they would be harder to wake and thus Hazel and Gus wouldn’t need to act quite as much like teenagers sneaking around as she had originally felt, though there was still a thrill in the air about having brought Gus into her home. “Would you like a drink?” she asked, gesturing toward the kitchen off to one side of the entry way as noises came from the other direction. “Your coat sort of stole the last one,” she smiled but her eyes went wide and she was soon making a shushing noise as she moved toward Gus and then passed him. “Barkimedes, it’s just me. Be a good dog and keep quiet.”
A well-sized border collie had bounded out from the shadows of the living room, giving a warning snarl before recognizing his owner and beginning to pant happily. The large dog jumped on Hazel, putting its front paws up on her stomach and standing on his hind legs, reaching the height of a small adult as he attempted to lick Hazel in a friendly greeting. “Okay, okay. Get down.” Taking the dog’s front paws and pushing them away so that he stood with all four paws on the ground, Hazel laughed. “You’re too big for that, Bark.” Hazel gave the dog a good pat on the head and scratched behind his ears. Turning to face Gus and brush some loose dog hairs from the front of her dress, Hazel smiled. “He’s not as well trained as any of your animals, I’m sure, but we love him.” Gus could probably train a snail to do back-flips if he wanted to, Hazel thought. He was absolutely brilliant with animals, and the most Hazel had done was teach the dog to scratch the door when he needed to go out, and to shake paws when instructed. Total amateur skills. “How about that drink, then?” she asked as Barkimedes began sniffing Gus and his beer soaked jacket.

"Right-o." He said as he looked down the garden path, a little dizzier than he had been a few moments ago. He wasn't up for falling flat on his face. He did it often enough in his classes with some of the beasts he showed, but to do it now in front of Hazel because of some bloody overexcited bush? That was simply unacceptable to the gentleman and so he made extra sure as he walked it, to keep an eye on anything grabby. He kept such a close eye on the path, plants, and his feet, that he almost failed to notice Hazel come to a stop at the front door. Thankfully he managed to stop before crashing in to Hazel but Merlin was his heart pounding! As she ushered him inside he tried to move swiftly and avoid causing too much damage to his reputation. He'd really let himself have it tonight but things were still salvageable. At least that was what he kept telling himself, even though he wasn't quite sure what needed to be salvaged, he just felt like something needed to be.
Hazel offered him a drink and while usually he would have politely declined, he kind of stumbled around in his brain, searching for meaning to her question. He wasn't reading anything into it, he was just taking his time establishing what her words literally meant. "Sure!" He chirped, oblivious for a few seconds to the snoring that was meeting his ears. It clicked in his mind that her parents were sleeping and so he hushed up a little although he was fairly certain he'd forget soon enough, and sure enough, he was distracted by a dog of all things. He chuckled at the name, thinking it was quite possibly the best name for a dog that could ever be. "Barkimedes?" He asked with a small chuckle again, pretty impressed really.
Everything that was going on around him was kind of lost on Gus. He knew he hadn't been this drunk when he'd left the pub but then the alcohol had been given a decent chance to really kick in now. He was up, moving around and letting it flood his system. It had been a pretty good night but he didn't think he'd had that much to be feeling this light headed and giddy. He kind of felt like he did back in his old school days when he and Alvin would sneak off for a few drinks and get tipsy and then pretty damn drunk, on just a few cheap beers at the Hogs Head! "Yeah, that'd be great." He said, looking from Hazel to the dog that was interested in the jacket, "Ah, that's not for you, chap." He said, giving the pup a little pat on the head, messing his fur a little. "Perhaps some water might do you a lick of good." And had Gus been a wiser man, perhaps he would have taken his own advice, but alas he wasn't thinking too clearly.
