Kit. Leo had no idea who that was, but Dora had referred to him as a friend, which was good. Not that it mattered. Still, Leo scanned the room again, wondering which one of them was this Kit guy. Kit who? And come to think of it, where was Dorian? It was his birthday and he wasn't anywhere to be seen. Had he run off to hide somewhere? That was just typical, and Leo wasn't having any of it. Ant made a lame excuse to get out of the conversation, and Leo followed, though his excuse was genuine. "Hey, I'll be back in a minute, I'm gonna find the birthday boy." Was Dorian okay? Had he had a heart attack and needed urgent medical attention? He could be laying in a side room somewhere clutching his chest in horror and nobody would even know. Leo patted Doc on the arm with a wide grin and said nothing as he left him with Dora, heading out of the living room in search of Dorian.

He passed Jasper in the hallway with that Geralina chick he had a massive crush on. Dorian wasn't with them, so Leo passed them by, giving Jasper a quick pat on the back and thrusting his hips with a nod at Geralina, who was peeking into the kids playroom. "Take her upstairs!" he whispered, before moving on down the hallway. He checked a few more rooms until he eventually opened a door and saw Dorian sitting in silence with Dorcas Meadowes' dad, who seemed a strange but nice fellow. Leo hovered in the doorway. "Why are you hiding out in here?" he asked, looking Dorian up and down intensely. Something wasn't right. He had been best friends with Dorian since school, he could tell when something was up, but he couldn't imagine what it could be other than the obvious: Dorian hated them all for throwing this party and intended on sitting in this room and sulking until everyone left. Not likely. He was too polite for that.

Leo hoisted Blaise up on his hip so that they could take a selfie or ten with Jasper, and Blaise did his best cheesy grin, which just made it even better. Other kids started asking for pictures, too, and Leo obliged. He was also perfectly happy to provide copies to all who asked. This was the funniest day of his life, and though Jasper might hate him right now, Leo would make it up to him. He'd see the funny side eventually. After exhausting his camera, he glanced back towards the seating area to look for Dora, but she had disappeared. A quick scan of the patio told him she wasn't there, but he did spot Pansy's pram with another witch. Strange. "Come on, Blaise, let's go and listen to Nevey tell a story." He carried Blaise over to Neve's little area and sat down on the floor with him to listen.

Chloe and Liam Underwood were one of the first to arrive, and Leo gave them both quick hugs, taking a bag of goodies from Chloe. "So it's up to me if I want to share this or not?" he asked, returning her eyebrow wiggle. He was glad to see the couple make it to one of his barbeques at last, they were usually too busy to attend. Liam offered to help out, which Leo was grateful for, it would take the pressure off Doc, who had manned the barbeque alone last year after Jasper's disaster. A hulking mass of a man approached them, and if he hadn't been a big Quidditch fan, Leo would have thought someone had broken into his house to kill them all, but he'd recognise Kal Sullivan anywhere. "Heyyy, Kiki's brother," he said with a grin, shaking the man's hand and refraining from outing him as a famous sports star. "Welcome, man, make yourself at home." He glanced after Chloe as she excused herself to go and find Kiki, and spotted Lola James and a huge posse of friends standing just inside the front door. Shaking his head with a chuckle, he just hoped they stayed away from the kitchen, where Dorian was hiding out like a hermit with a chopping board. "Shall we serve up some burgers, then?" Leo said to Liam, nudging him into action.

It was that time of year again. Oh, no, wait... it wasn't. That time of year was a whole month ago, and now it was almost June, which was horribly late for Leo's annual Easter barbeque, but he was determined to still have it. He needed that time with all of his friends in one place, laughing, drinking, not a care in the world. No kids, no annoying sisters, no worries. The last day of May had been the soonest he could schedule in a party. The world seemed more chaotic than usual, and he'd been a lot busier at the hospital recently, as had all of his friends who worked there. He hoped that they could all take this Sunday to wind down and relax. He wouldn't have it any other way.

The barbeque was all set up out by the pool, the sun was shining hotter than it usually did, thanks to it being almost summer, and Leo already had a cool bottle of beer in his hand as he waited for his first guests to arrive. It was late morning, coming up to the hottest part of the day, and he'd ditched his usual classy jumper for a t-shirt and jeans, needing to stay cool and calm, the perfect host. Leo had gone out of his way to not set Jasper up with any single women this year, last year had turned out disastrously, and he wanted to avoid spoiling Jasper's fun. But he had also invited a - hopefully - single woman for himself today. Not exactly for himself, it wasn't a date, and she was probably oblivious to the fact that he fancied her, but Dora Parkinson had received an invite this year, and he was kind of excited to see whether she showed up or not.

Leo shook his head with a chuckle. "No you wouldn't. Any kid of yours would always look a million Galleons just like their mum," he told Dora with a smile. If she'd had a boy he would have been just as much a prince as any of the little boys running around the bookstore, Leo didn't doubt it. Blaise got fed up with Pansy's butterflies after a minute and ran off to play again, and Leo noticed a few more familiar faces in the room. Dorian had arrived with Ariel, which pleased Leo. The more of Jasper's friends around to see him having the time of his life, the better. The place was filling up quickly and Leo felt like he might need to give his seat up at some point, though he would be reluctant to leave Dora. She was easy to be with, not to mention beautiful and charming. He found himself stealing glances at her when he thought she wasn't looking. Yeah, she was beautiful.

It didn't take long for someone to join him, and Leo was quite pleased with who it was. Dora Parkinson, the beautiful young witch who he'd ran into quite a few times now. His first meeting with her had been when she'd been in labour with the adorable bundle who now sat in a pram dressed like a butterfly fairy. It was strange seeing the kid now, sitting up, babbling, being a real person instead of a ball of squish squeezing its way through its mothers insides. Okay, he didn't think of unborn babies that way, but she certainly looked like a big girl now. Leo grinned at Dora as she sat down, turning the pram to face him. "Looks like it's my lucky day. Two beautiful princesses to keep me company." He beamed down at the baby, but spared a flirty glance for Dora, who looked impeccable, as she did every time he saw her. He glanced over at Blaise, still scribbling away happily and nodded his head to the tot. "I'm here with my nephew," he explained. "Hey, Blaise, come over here and see the baby!" he called, Blaise turning his head, eyes wide with interest. He toddled over to Leo and peered into the pram. "Baby. Fairy." He reached a small hand out and touched the baby's dress admiringly. Leo raised his camera and snapped a quick picture, then realised his mistake. "Sorry," he said to Dora. "Do you mind me taking pictures?"
