[ Quite honestly Harry was also surprised he'd received the invitation. Granted he hadn't been removed from the force, just suspended, but he still felt more than his fair share of awkward. Probably didn't help that his date looked dressed to kill and he was busy dealing with feelings of 'Oh god why is she actually here with me?'.
Yeah Hogwarts insecurities are never really over though he's gotten a lot better. ]
My, my, Harry. What's with the uncomfortable expression? [Jade looks perfectly at ease with the situation, dressed in a formal suit, with his normal smirk firmly in place.]
Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot! 8DbreaksmybonesDecember 20 2011, 14:48:29 UTC
[Dress tokill indeed. Claire notices Harry seems to be acting skittish ever since they got to the party. It did look like he wasn't used to something like this.]
Hey. You okay there? [She puts a hand on his arm in concern.] You kinda look like you're about to have a heart attack.
Lol maybe not but he could be? |DsonuvasnitchDecember 28 2011, 02:58:09 UTC
[ Nope the gesture doesn't help in the least, but the comment does. He lets out a breath of air that comes across as a laugh. This is an improvement. ]
[ He looks around absently before returning his attention back to Claire. ]
The last party I was at was a wedding for one of my friend's brothers. I was kind of distracted through most of it, and it kind of got interrupted. [ Which was really a mild way of putting it. ]
I've probably been to more parties here than I ever have in my whole life, but I always feel a little weird.
[ He plucks at his shirt. Clearly it's the clothes that are bothering him most. ]

Nothing, I'm just not really used to these sort of things.

[ But he'd still received an invite, so he was really more required to show up. ]

[ Not that he'll be going into the details with you Jade. No offense or anything. ]

[Oh, who are we kidding. He'll probably see if he can rustle up some reports when he returns to work. Jade likes being in the know.]
Well, good luck not antagonizing our superiors any further, Harry.

[ Yeah Harry's going to try that, as long as Somarium doesn't throw anymore surprises at him. ]

Yeah, me? I'm fine. [ And see he tries to smile to show it too. Really it doesn't help that Claire looks well, amazing. ]
I'm just not really used to these sort of things. [ Though whether he means a hot girl being at his side or the actual party is up for grabs. ]

You know what you can do? [a beat] Breathe. It'll do wonders.

Sorry, just. I am nervous I guess.

Really? I haven't noticed. [Really, Harry. Relax!] Didn't go to a lot of parties back home?
