"Well you should stop letting it lurk and jump on it."  Nicholas smiled and turned his head to look closer at Sasha, "Or you know just stumble into it.  That seems more your style."  He chuckled and sipped the remainder of his drink.  He was inching towards a good buzz and the drinks left in front of him were not going to cut getting past that.  Then an idea popped into his head.  He was going to have to buy several people more drinks.

"I'm still surprised by you and Peyton."

He smirked, "Me too.  It just kinda happened."  He finished off his drink, "You'd be amazed at how many places we had sex at in the castle.  Though he never did let me into the prefect's bathroom."  He stood up with his empty glass.  "The sex just kinda turned into a relationship.  I'm honestly not sure how it happened."  Though being emotionally damaged certainly had helped.  It was hard not to fall for the guy who helped put him back together.

"Want another?"  He asked before heading to the bar.  Nicholas double checked to make sure Andy wasn't paying attention to him or to Sasha.  And then ordered another of whatever he was having and sent it over in Sasha's name.   He walked back to the table with drinks in hand, "Soooo, you just bought Andy a drink."  He sat one of the drinks down and slid it over to Sasha. "Try not to act too surprised."

Sasha wasn't sure why, but he was still in no hurry to get up and go over to Andy.  Lack of confidence.  Indecision.  Uncertainty as to where, if anywhere, he wanted or thought such an encounter should go. 

But, honestly, whatever he found himself doing with Andy had to be better than hearing the Adventures in Hogwarts by Peyton and Nicholas.  All he knew was he still didn't think he was the sex-than-relationship type; that just didn't seem to be the right order of things to him.  It really should be the other way around.  At least, for him. 

Still, indecision continued to keep him rooted in his chair, even after Nicholas got up to get refills.  He had just taken the refilled Kracken when Nicholas informed him that he'd had a drink sent to Andy in his name.  Sasha looked up at Nicholas and then glanced over his shoulder in the direction of the bar.  Sure enough, the curly-haired wizard was lifting a fresh drink in his direction in an appreciative toast. 

"Why did you-" Sasha muttered, in German.  He turned back towards Nicholas before taking a deep breath and a sip of his drink.  Letting the deep breath out in a sigh, Sasha tugged a galleon out of his pocket and set it on the table in front of Nicholas before pushing his chair back.  "See you around," he offered before replacing the chair and crossing the room to the bar and taking the seat next to Andy.
