Odette sighed at Harley’s words. She knew they were true, but it was still kind of a lot to hear it just… said plainly like that, especially at her brother’s wedding. She drained her glass and slammed it down onto the table. “True. But enough sad sh*t.” She said, glancing at Harley. “Let’s do...

Odette turned her glass over slightly, watching the liquid inside move around. “Yeah.” She said, a little startled by how well Harley could describe it. It was strange to be around someone who knew her so well. “It’s messed up.” She said idly as she watched her glass closely.

Odette always felt slightly awkward at gatherings with the Holland family, like any moment Rose Holland might jump up and yell at her to leave because they hadn't liked each other back at Hogwarts. She knew by now Rose would never ever do that, but it still felt... strange to just sit here. She...

Odette smiled a little and shook her head. Then she looked away. "It's probably easier because I laugh more these days." She said. "The older I get, the more I realize just how messed up I was as a kid."

Odette raised her eyebrows and shook her head. "These are pity laughs." She said, though she had a hard time keeping her face straight. "Definitely."

Odette groaned. "You're going to make me roll my eyes so much I'll get a headache." She complained, shaking her head. "You really think you're hilarious, dont't you?" She asked, though she was smiling even as she said it.

Odette rolled her eyes at Harley's teasing, but she was smiling a little too. Her eyebrows raised as Harley said she would be ogling her, looking at her in surprise. "Even in those seats, I'll just be a colorful streak to you. Good luck ogling that." She said, rolling her eyes again, but fondly...

Odette nodded, arrogant expression returning for a moment. "As they should." She said, then grinned again. "Seriously though, I'll owl them to you. You can... bring someone, if you want." She asked, her voice going up at the end of the sentence, almost turning it into a question. Harley hadn't...

Odette grinned a little, it was fun to make Harley laugh. It made her feel like she accomplished something. She laughed in turn as Harley mentioned the rules, nodding immediately. "Exactly, that's the only thing that happens too, the other players are just for decoration." She said.

Odette scoffed, tossing her hair back. "Watching me play is better than the money you'd get." She said, putting on an arrogant expression she hadn't used since her early teens. But then she cracked up and started to laugh. "Seriously though, you could come. My family is sick of watching me at...

Odette took a sip of her drink, though she smiled in amusement as she watched Harley draining her glass. She raised her eyebrows a bit at her next words, tilting her head a bit. "I mean, I could get you tickets most fans would fight you for." She said with a slight smile. "If you want to watch...

Odette nodded and raised her glass. "To disliking people for petty reasons." She said with a grin. "I'll do my best to beat her again next time."

Odette's eyes lit up as Harley said she had never liked Lizzie. Amused, Odette sat back in her chair. "Oh? Why not?" She asked. "I mean, I didn't either, but that was for obvious reasons."

Odette nodded as Harley asked her a question about her work, a small smile on her face. "Yeah, I am. It's great." She said sincerely. "Won a practice match against the Kea the other day, thought Lizzie Taylor might explode." She said with a grin. "It's like being back at Hogwarts, honestly."

Odette grinned a bit, imagining what Harley was saying. "I mean, it'd be entertaining." She said, taking a long sip from her champagne. "Besides, I'd vote for you even if you fought someone." She paused. "Especially if you fought someone."

Odette nodded as Harley explained, sitting up a bit as she listened. She had known Jason was a squib, of course, but she had never put much thought into what that really meant. "That's really awesome of you." She said softly. "I never knew you were that deep." She added, teasing a bit more...

Odette's eyebrows raised slightly and she sat back in her chair as Harley went off, amused by how clearly she was holding back. "I only listened to one debate." She admitted with a small shrug. "I didn't realize you were this passionate about it." She said with a smile. "It's nice."
