Ch.81 The Party pt.1

A lot of things will go down during these chapters and I do not want to hear, why is he acting so stupid and weird, you'll find it if you would see the comment under the chapter. In those lines, a lot of emotions, and talks would happen and I know there will be few who would comment, where did this come from?

You would realise it if you would've picked up the subtleties of his actions and the way he has behaved. And Lastly, this is the main point, just because he was put in another person's body with their memories and none of his, the experiences can't be erased. And I know that almost none of you would read this and still do the thing you would do. I have nothing to say. It's what I am giving you. If at some point you all feel like this is done. Say it's done and I'll move on.

With all that out of the way, enjoy.

A gentle evening breeze pass through the open widow and pushes the parchment off the table. Where Jon wanders in his dreams. He needed the rest, it was apparent from the bags under his eyes. While he slept carelessly someone called out his name, but it did nothing to break his dreams. He seemed happy.

A young man opens his room and sees his friend sleeping on his desk. It was Ted, he came to get Jon, since he could have forgotten or was working and he was right. He scratches his forehead and walks toward him to wake him up. As he got closer he saw the parchment lying on the floor and a gift neatly wrapped in paper. 

His friends apparent smile was something that took him back. He had seen him smile and laugh but this just seemed different in his eyes. His eyebrows were raised and he questioned where he should wake his friend or not? 

He shook his head and decided to wake him, if it was any other day he would have let him have his rest but today wasn't any other day. Today was their friend Daphne's birthday and she would loose her head if either him or I would show up late. Well she would loose it more if this guy didn't made it in time.

He patted Jon's back but that did nothing, he sighed and said, "JON! WAKE UP!" Jon woke up and stood up straight and looked at the source of the voice with his eyes barely open. "Ted?"

Ted chuckled and sat down on the bed and said, "I didn't know I would miss the sight of you sleeping." Jon looked at him and Ted nodded, "I know, but it sounded better in my head."

"Come on, get dressed we have to go." Jon checked the clock and said, "We still have some time."

Ted raised his brows, "Like it won't take any time for you to take a shower, getting dressed and do your excessive grooming?"

Jon squinted and tried to think of a come back but he didn't have any thing and just got up. "That's what I thought." Jon looked at Ted's attire and he was wearing a blue shirt and a beige suit and Ted noticed that look in his friends eyes and asked, "Why? What's wrong with my suit?"

Jon just shrugged and said, "Ah, no, nothing. I just thought we were going to a party." Saying his piece Jon walked into the bathroom and Ted looked at his suit and said, "I look good. Don't think about it." He dusted his suit but then just sighed and got up, "Cunt."

After 10 min Jon got out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist and saw Ted, going through his wardrobe half naked, he coughed and Ted turned around and asked, "What should I wear?"

Jon shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the mirror and Ted complained, "No, no, No, you did this… now help me." 

Jon sighed and said, "I said, you look good." 

Ted couldn't believe him and just sighed and said, "Damn, it…" 

Jon got up and said, "Relax I'll get you something." Ted nodded and sighed in relief and sat down on the bed.

He walked inside the closet and picked out two pairs of washed out blue jeans and one plain grey t-shirt and another with a large Bull's print on it and got two jackets, one was a black leather jacket and the other one was a blue denim jacket.

He handed the blue denim, the bull's T-shirt to him and Ted looked at it and said, "You think, it's okay… to wear this at a party?"

Jon got the T-shirt out the hanger and wore it and said, "I'm a trend setter Ted and you are my friend." "Best friend." "Yes" Jon continued, "And I have a very unique position where whatever I wear other people would want to wear. Do you know what does that mean?" He wore the jeans and threw the towel.

"Is this about business?" Ted questioned his friends motive and Jon confirmed it and wore the leather jacket and winked at him. "Now get dressed, we'll be late."

Both of them got dressed quickly but took their sweet time sculpting their hair. Both stood infront of each other and both said, "Nice." "Let's go." Ted said and turned to leave. Jon quickly walked to the table and took his gift and the bottomless pouch.

They stood outside Jon's house and Ted asked, "So how are we going? Can't use the gate." 

Ted smiled and took out his bottomless pouch and said, "I got it." He opened the pouch and pulled out the Vespa that Florian and Bella gifted him. It seemed fitting that they arrive on it. Jon got on and looked at a sceptic Ted and said, "I know how to ride this… it's no different than a cycle."

"When did you ride a cycle?"Ted sighed and got on and Jon smiled and said, "I never did." Ted wanted to get off but it was too late by then, Jon already had took to the skies and turned on the invisibility of the Vespa.

—————————————————-

They reached the Greengrass manor, quickly. For being a scoter, this thing was faster than it should have been. Jon turned back to see Ted who seemed a little shell shocked and said, "Ted, we're here?"

Ted hummed and said, "I know." He got off and tapped his feet and said, "Oh, blessed be Merlin… we're safe."

"A bit dramatic, don't you think so?" Jon asked

Ted gave a scowl and said, "I thought that I was about to die." 

Jon rolled his eyes and said, "Let's just go."

We walked up to the door and knocked on it, it was Bella who opened it. She was wearing a cream colour dress with an amber necklace and her hair tied up and flute glass in her hand with some champagne in it. She looked at us and tilted her head and said, "Hmm, you look good."

Ted and Jon smiled and Bella let them in, as they entered they could hear music playing it was coming from the hall. "I saw your interview." Bella spoke as she took a sip. "I liked the song

Jon smiled and nodded, "I'm glad that you did." There was another knock on the door and Bella stopped and said, "I'm needed else where. I trust that you can guide, young Mr. Nott to the hall?" She walked away and we made our way to the hall.

And it was filled with people, "This is not a small gathering." Ted hummed and asked, "Still, sure about our clothes?"

I nodded and said, "Eh, it's too late anyway." I looked at him and said, "Be cool and we'll pull it off… ready?" 

Ted wasn't sure and sighed, "As, you said, too late anyway." 

We walked into the room and they saw some people they knew, some they didn't. Most were business colleagues of Florian, so Jon kinda knew them. As they were walking a waiter walked by and Jon grabbed two glasses of champagne and gave one to Ted.

Ted looked reluctant and Jon said, "They are not for drinking… mere accessories." Ted took the glass and asked, "Do you see anyone?"

Jon shook his head and asked, "You should know them… I'm new to this."

Ted scoffed a little and saw someone and said, "Here she comes, brace yourself." 

Jon looked at his friend and was confused as to who he was talking about, but in a moment it all became apparent. He saw her walking across the hall. She had her red fiery hair let down and it seemed she had let them grow because they were reaching down her shoulders. Wearing a yellow dress with open sleeves and large cresses on her dress. A golden chain rested on her neck.

She got close to me and smiled, "Hi."

For a moment Jon was stunned staring at the redhead, totally captivated and surprised. She giggled and asked him again, "Jon?"

Ted nudged him a little and he looked at Ted and then towards her and drank a little bit of champagne and she looked at him angrily and he realised it and stopped, "It's Apple juice?"

She scoffed and chuckled a little and said, "I'll have to try it then." She tried to reach for the glass, Ted hoped that Jon would stop her but he couldn't and Ted said, "So, Victoria… what's Harry doing?" Victoria turned to see and Ted drank Jon's remaining champagne, it tasted awful, "Where?" 

She turned and asked, "Where did he go to? Anyway, where is everyone else? Where is Daphne? And…"

"Tracey?" Victoria said with a sly smile and said, "They'll be here… in the mean time, we should enjoy the party what do you say, Jon?"

"Yes." Those were the words that he could utter, Ted sighed and wished it to be over with.
