She smiled back, always finding something amusing out of Aaren't behavior it seemed. She then noticed the woman next to him in a flattering dress, making Nadia admire her curves until she saw her face and realized it was Dyani. A little over three years had passed since she last saw her, until the day before during the Durmstrang arrival (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=301262.msg14738956#msg14738956). Nadia would never forget a rival's face, especially one so pretty and fun to anger. Nadia's smile didn't evaporate as she saw Dyani notice her. She would not run, she never did. They would always face each other headstrong. Three years of intermission changed nothing to that fact.<br/><br/>Nadia never forgot and never forgave.<br/><br/><em>"Lets do some shots!"</em><br/><br/>She heard the voice to her right, accompanied by the sound of hands slamming on the counter. Nadia turned her head towards the newcomer, a pretty brunette who was apparently really in the mood for drinks.<br/><br/><em>"Bartender, lets get a round of tequila shots. One for all of these people hanging around here. They look too stiff, too comfortable. Especially this one."</em><br/><br/>The French woman indicated Nadia with her hand, to her surprise. She raised an eyebrow, squinting her eyes, and tilting her head to the side ever so slightly, as if to move her right ear towards Ria, her body language implying she had heard her wrong.<em>Hmm, excuse you?</em>she thought, eye rolling mentally at Ria's quick judgement of her person.<br/><br/>"You must not know Nadia, she's a party animal!" one of Raynor's rowdy bunch in her year chimed in before disappearing towards the dance floor.<em>Fucking Durmstrang goons,</em>she thought, mentally face palming.<br/><br/>A shot arrived in front of her. She looked at it suspiciously, but eventually put down her glass of kvass and touched the shot glass with her left thumb and index finger.<br/><br/><em>"Hello and welcome."</em><br/><br/>Another new arrival, a blonde in a nice dress, speaking and looking like she owned the place. Nadia glanced at her, lifting the tequila shot from the counter and into the air in front of her chest.<br/><br/><em>"This is for the beginning to a new epic year of parties, fucking, and some fucking badasses winning the Tri-Wizard Tournament. I guess some school too, but what the fuck ever."</em><br/><br/>"<acronym title="Cheers!">Noroc!</acronym>" she toasted in her native language, clinking her glass against Ria's, Kat's, and whoever else joined in, before drinking the tequila in one go.<br/><br/>Without flinching, she swallowed the liquid and felt the burning sensation quickly come and go in her throat, reaching her stomach.<br/><br/>As she turned towards Dior, Aaren and Dyani, she noticed the latter two leaving together.<em>Oh?</em>she thought, curiously amused. Nadia put her attention back to the counter, moving the shot glass away towards the bartender, and then grabbing her kvass to change the taste in her mouth from the Mexican beverage to mint. Her brother Nicolae hated anything mint-flavored, he thought it felt like drinking toothpaste. She didn't share that sentiment. Taking a sip, she glanced back towards Dior to see her in conversation.<br/><br/>Aleksey introduced himself to the blonde woman, as well as his mini-me, Florian, apparently from Beauxbâtons.<em>Intriguing pair, those two,</em>she thought, looking to her left at the pushy Frenchwoman, the skinny silver-haired baseball cap wearing person, and in the distance she saw Raynor apparently lifting someone in the air. Nadia almost choked on her drink as she started to laugh at the sight.<br/><br/>"We have a Hulk," she heard herself say, quoting Tony Stark. She had a quick dry ironic laugh, as her eyes searched for Ria's and then Kat's. "May I know your names?"
