Jacquie was excited. Before it had dissolved into a fist fight, she had rather enjoyed the barbecque last year. And this year Orion and Dam were coming to. Jacquie was forcing Dam to go. She had apparated to the ministry, dragged him from his work, apparated them home, and forced him into a shower. Once he had emerged all clean and shaven, she had made him dress nice, but casual, and letting Orion know that they would see him downstairs, dragged her best friend to the BBQ. He was going to have some fun and relax whether he wanted to or not, or he was going to find one very irrate little red head on his case more than she already was.

So, Jacquie and Dam walked into the courtyard together. Dam had wanted to wait for Lily, but the girl had called to tell him she would be late. Dam had managed to find a clean pair of jeans and a white tshirt, figuring that was dressed enough. Jacquie on the other hand had a long white skirt on that swished around the ankles of her bare feet, and a green tshirt. For someone who had been a Ravenclaw, she sure wore alot of green, and not enough blue. Dam headed straight for the beer, a wave at Josh and Leathan, and some people he didn't know as Jacquie headed towards the barbecque. "Hello Leathan." She had to stop herself from saying Mr Collier. This wasn't really the place to be formal.
