Finally - she got to be the centre of attention )
The gift that she had purchased, a delicate crystal swan, was in a silver-coloured box wrapped with pink and silver wrapping paper, a small yet intricate matching bow placed perfectly on top. Parvati was a bit nervous about the gift - she had bought it in a Muggle antique shop. The proprieter had said it was a Swarovski ( ... )

For once he also had paid great attention to his hair, which was something he usually detested to do. He’d carefully styled them as to leave no strands of his curly black hair hanging in his face, and after he’d eyed himself up once more in the mirror, Roger apparated just a few blocks from the Blackpool Tower, to a lonely backstreet free of muggles.
Therefore, he made his way over to the impressive tower by foot, quickly spotting his date waiting in front of it. Smiling warmly, he approached her. “Parvati?”

"Roger," she said, walking the rest of the way to meet him. "You look great!" Parvati stood on her toes and kissed his cheek lightly in greeting. It was nice how comfortable she felt - not at all awkward like she had been with Oliver.
"I'm just waiting for Lavender, Seamus, and Neville, but we can go inside if you'd like. I'm sure they'd be able to find us."

She'd thought to head over as early as possible. The sooner she made an appearance the sooner she could leave. When she arrived, Hannah was greatly relieved to see Parvati standing just outside the door. From the looks of it she seemed to be headed inside with another person.
"Parvati," Hannah called out hoping the other women would hear her so she wouldn't have to walk in alone.

"That's Hannah Abbott," she said quickly to Roger. "She was in Hufflepuff, my year."
Once Hannah reached them, she hugged her in greeting. "You look fabulous. I love that dress. We're just waiting for Lavender, Seamus, and Neville. You remember Roger Davies? He's my date." She grinned and winked at Roger before turning back to Hannah.

She took a good look at Roger Davies. He certainly did look nice. Good one, Par!!! she thought, wishing she could pull her friend aside now to compliment her bagging such a nice man. Perhaps she could cross out finding Parvati a date on her to-do list... But, Neville, hmm.. She looked back and saw him truging along, and beamed a smile at him. And then here was Hannah -- A HUFFLEPUFF. Didn't she keep saying that Neville needed a nice Hufflepuff girl? Hmm ( ... )

Just as he wanted to tell her that he’d be fine waiting with her for them outside, he was interrupted as a blonde girl showed up - Roger was more than glad that Parvati took over and introduced them, so he simply smiled at the other girl. “Nice to meet you, Hannah.” My, it seemed like they really were going to be a large groom, he realized only moments later, when yet another girl came storming towards them.
“Roger Davies,” He returned the bright smile and shook her hand. “And I do think I remember seeing you around, though it’s been very long - pleased to meet you, again.” Chuckling lightly at her request, he then nodded eagerly. “Of course! How could I say no to such a charming girl?”

"Padma, you look fantastic!" she exclaimed, touching her sister's shoulder in greeting. "I love that dress - where'd you get it? You might have to let me borrow that one!"
She next turned her attention to her best friend and temporary flatmate. "Ooh, wow, Lav! You look beautiful! I love this - " she said, fingering the nice material of the dress. "It really suits you."
And finally, Seamus. It was so hard but so exciting to pay attention to everyone. "Not bad, and yourself? You look quite the charmer, Seamus." Parvati grinned, kissing his cheek in greeting as well. She felt so elegant and so... glamourous - a charming, handsome date by her side, two of her close friends, her sister, and her two favourite Gryffindor boys. Tonight was going to be fun ( ... )

Seamus looked around quickly for a place to leave his gift. It wasn’t hard to spot a sumptuous “gift table” which was already laden with loot. He put his elegantly wrapped gift for the Birthday Girl on the table with dozens of others. He had gotten her a copy of the latest book from Calliope Chesilwick, “The Charming Witch”. It was a compilation of beauty tips, diet suggestions, relationship advice, and fashion and make-up hints from the pages of Witch Weekly. He couldn’t imagine a witch with more need of it than Pansy. Seamus knew, as he feared Pansy did not, that it was what was on the inside that mattered. If she bothered to look inside the book, she would find two tickets to the League Cup final next week. Not just any tickets, but two for one of the private skyboxes. He was ( ... )

He acknowledged Neville's arrival with a smile and waved slightly in his direction, before he offered Parvati his arm to head inside. "Shall we...?" He asked out of politeness, before following the others inside by her side.
The Ballroom looked, without exaggerating, amazing, Roger had to admit. But what else had he expected of the Parkinsons, really? He smirked at Seamus's comment as he returned. "Caution's an understatement."

She gently placed Pansy's gift on top of a rather large box wrapped in gold metallic paper before returning her attention to her surroundings. A band was playing a great jazz tune on the stage, and Parvati's feet were itching to dance.
"Would you accompany me in a dance to start the afternoon off?" she asked Roger, curtsying playfully.
((I think if Parvati and Roger dance, we should start a new thread, yeah?))
