Engagement Party

[missgdarcy]

The day has come! Georgiana flits about nervously, as this is the first gathering of any sort that she has put together all by herself. Had she done everything right? Would anyone even show up?

"S-somebody ought to," she says to herself, wringing her hands. "'Twas a-an open invitation, after all."

*arrives!* *smiles at Georgiana* Congratulations. I bet you're excited.

[missgdarcy]

Oh, th-thank you, Harry! I am so glad you have come.

[theboywho_lived]

Draco should be along shortly. Everything's been good with you?

[missgdarcy]

Yes, I h-have been quite well. And yourself?

[la_baronne]

*and here's a Cosette!*

Georgiana, everything looks lovely!

[missgdarcy]

Cosette!

*HUGS*

[la_baronne]

*laughs and hugs back the best she can, being five months pregnant*

It looks as if you've put everything together just splendidly!

[missgdarcy]

I certainly hope I have.

And this is a good time to try out one of the new dresses Draco bought during their shopping trip. So, trying not to trip over the hem, she arrives at Pemberley Hall and goes inside, wondering who else is there.

[missgdarcy]

*sees her and approaches, shy but beaming* Ms. Hermione! I th-thank you for coming. You look absolutely lovely.

[mostgiftedwitch]

And you as well, Miss Georgiana! Congratulations on your engagement.

[dracoslytherin]

*enters not long after Harry and greets the hostess politely* How are you, Miss Georgiana? Well, I hope.

[missgdarcy]

*curtsies* Quite well, I thank you, Mr. Malfoy. And yourself?

[dracoslytherin]

There have been ups and downs but they seem to have settled now.

*he hands her a small but long giftbox* This is for you in congratulations on your engagement. *inside she'll find a silver-plated quill and ink writing set*

[missgdarcy]

*small gasp* Oh! I--th-there was no need... Thank you, sir.

[edmundpevensie]

*he comes in looking a bit grumpy, but he's here* Hello.. Is my brother here?

[missgdarcy]

Edmund! I w-was--I was hoping you would come. *blushes, as she has a good idea of his attitude concerning the engagement* Your brother is not here yet, but he shall be, shortly.

[edmundpevensie]

*nods* All right... *tries to be polite as it's not as if he dislikes her* You'll tell him I'm here? *looks around* Everything looks spiffing. Have you any cake?

[missgdarcy]

Of course I will tell him, as soon a-as I see him. *smiles, slightly amused* I have, actually. You are free to help yourself to as much as you like.
