3rd Floor Common Room - Game Night

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily walks in to the 3rd floor common room with a stack of board games under her arm. Monopoly, The Game of Life, Trivial Pursuit, and Clue. It's time to have some fun, muggle-style.



[ooc: Open to anyone who happens by. Draco and Jonathan will be in at some point.]

Draco comes into the common room.

"Whoa, loaded with the board games aren't you? Not going to make fun of me too much if I lose, right?" he jokes

"Only a lot," Lily teases. "We've got four to choose from, so look them over," she says, gesturing to the boxes on the floor.

Draco looks inside each of the boxes. He looks a little confused.

"Well uh, I'm not too sure which one is best. The Game of Life has the most colors though." he adds "Yes, I think like a four year old."

"Oh! I was hoping you'd pick that one! And I won't tell anyone about the four-year old thing," she says, walking over to hug him.

"Aw, thanks." he says putting his arms around her. "So I take it you've played this game before?"

"A few times. It's really fun - you get to go to pick whether you go to uni or start a career straight away, and you draw cards to pick your job and your salary, and then you spin the wheel and drive your little car around the board, having a little fake life, and you can get married and have little children and buy a house..."

"Whoa whoa calm down there tiger." he jokes "If it gets you that excited then it must be fun."

"Oh - sorry 'bout that," she says, laughing. "You'll see, though."

She kisses him guickly then pulls away to start setting up the board on the floor. "Since you're the first one here, you get to choose which color car you want. And then you get to take one of these little blue plastic things sticks and pretend that it's you, in the driver seat."

Draco sits on the floor and picks up the green car. He then picks up a little blue piece.

"This is me?" he asks

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily smiles at his choice of colors. She takes the red car and sits next to him, quite close.

"Yes - stick yourself in one of the front 'seats'" she says, demonstrating with a pink piece in her car. "There - looks just like me," she giggled.

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

He looks at her choice of car. "Bloody Gryffindor." he smiles

He puts the little blue piece in the car. "This will be the closest I will ever be to driving a car." he jokes

"You wouldn't have me any other way," Lily says, grinning.

"That's good for all of us - they make you take lessons and pass an exam to be safe, you know." She leans forward to place her car on the starting square and practices spinning the wheel.

"Hey, I'll have you know I passed the apparation test on the first try. I could drive a car...maybe."

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Getting technical, Lily says, "But apparation mainly involves you. Cars can cause a lot more damage to other people. There are a lot of safety issues involved. My sister had to practice a lot, with my dad supervising."

"Good point." he says leaning over to kiss her on the cheek.

He reads some of the squares on the board. "Do muggles really do all this stuff in their lifetime?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily reaches for Draco's hand. "Not all of it, but it's fun to fantasize about luxury vacations and curing diseases and writing novels. That's what makes it a game."

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

Draco takes Lily's hand and rubs his thumb against it.

"Right. It would have been kind of weird if everyone was a doctor and a-" he leaned to read the board "-po-leece man."

"So, whatever are we going to do until Jonathan arrives?" he says innocently

Deciding to forego explaining the concept of a policeman, Lily smiles and leans over to kiss Draco.

Veronica is wandering the dorms aimlessly looking for someone to hang out with. She's got way too much on her mind to concentrate on anything.

She sees Lily and Draco in the common room and decides to stop in and say hi.

"Hey guys," she says with a small smile.

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

Draco smiles against Lily's mouth.

Good answer. he thinks

Draco puts one hand in Lily's hair and kisses her harder.

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

Draco pulls back from Lily.

"Hey Veronica." he says a little dissappointed. "Care to join us in a board game?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Sure, whatcha' playin?" she asks, taking a seat near them.

Rose wanders into the common room, bored and in need of something to do. "Hello, mind if I join you?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

"The Game of Life," Lily says. "We haven't started yet, so you can pick a car and join in." She nods toward the box lid, where the remaining cars and 'people' are storing.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

"Please - the more the merrier," Lily says. "Pick a car and a little person-thing. Oh, and I'm Lily, by the way."
