Parvati stood with her friends near the middle of the room, her arm linked lightly with Roger's. She grinned as Pansy called the attentions of her guests to make her speech. Parvati had to admit that Pansy Parkinson was a lovely and socially aware young woman. It was the first pang of jealousy she had ever felt for Pansy, but it wasn't so much that she had more money or was more popular. It was that Parvati could never be like her, never emulate that social gracefulness and white, Pure beauty ( ... )

While Roger had only listened to the speech half-hearted - people blowing their one trumpets and complementing themselves were really not of his interest, he’d mostly shown up for all the people he had a chance to meet there - and smiled amusedly at Parvati trying to get a better view, the bang had certainly caught his full attention, as did the voice he didn’t recognize ( ... )

"I don't know!" she said, confused. She didn't register that Roger had his arm around her. Any other time she'd be just dying inside that some cute guy was holding her close, but her mind was on other things at the moment. She turned her attention to the rest of the group she was with.

"Did you read it?" she asked. "Who do you think that was?"

"I think the rest got lost in the crowd..."

Roger stood on his tip-toes now as well to make out the others, seeing how there was sudden motion in the ground; everyone was either picking up some of those leaflets, reading those or, like them, trying to find their companions in the sudden upheaval. He just hoped he wouldn't lose Parvati as well, or else he'd be completely alone in a, in his opinion, none-too-welcoming environment.

Perry was confused along with the rest of the guests, but from the moment the powerful voice intruded on Pansy's speech he knew this wasn't a scheduled part of the event. For one thing Pansy would never allow someone else to steal her thunder. But more importantly, it seemed Pansy was surprised as well, and it was her reaction that he watched.

He did not clap, he did not sing, but when the slips of paper rained down he snatched one out of the air and hastily scanned it. From the first line, he could feel the sarcasm in the writing, and it only got worse from there. Perry wasn't sure if it was a good thing he stuck around, or if he should have got going when the inclination first struck him ( ... )

Why Pansy was still stood in the middle of that stage, she didn't know. No longer the shining star of the day, now she was like a deer caught in bright light and her presence there, a joke. She'd had grand images of herself as the ideal hostess, manipulating her guests seamlessly. It was increasingly clear to everyone there that she was simply some other man's marionette.

Possibly some part of her was waiting for Perry. At least, as soon as his foot hit the stage her eyes swung to meet his and she came out of her reverie. All around the room there was the muttering of voices and the rustling of paper and hundreds of pairs of eyes were burning their resentments into her skin. Why had it been necessary to invite so many people? Why had she needed to flaunt their wealth and their status and her own superiority when the result was only that everyone already knew these dark accusations. Everyone, and the ink on the paper probably barely even dry ( ... )

Perry kept a cool, even expression. Their first attempt at conversation since their argument, and these weren't the words he wanted to hear. He couldn't tell if her ire was directed at him, or the situation in general. But he really couldn't have expected much else.

Stubborn as he was though, his first inclination was to just leave her alone and go on his way. He wasn't about to embarrass himself, and Pansy, in front of all these people.

And that's exactly why he suddenly grabbed her hand, just as her foot was about to hit the first step.

"This way." His hand clasped hers firmly and he led her back toward the curtains.

Exit, stage left.

Her parents probably wouldn't be pleased. But it was the quickest way out of the spotlight, away from suspicious stares and unwanted questions. They could get out of the building and apparate discretely, before the Aurors and reporters and that photographer closed in.

After that, he didn't care what she did.

She almost tripped over when Perry grasped her hand and tugged her towards the back of the stage. It would have been the final humiliation and Pansy shot a quick, hard, look at Perry. Of course he hadn't meant to pull her over but he knew she was wearing heels, he knew the stage was slippery, he knew, he knew, he knewPansy took a deep breath. She knew she was in danger of displacing all of her anger against this unknown accuser onto Perry, just because he was within reach. Really, she just wanted to kick something ( ... )

Severus had stayed this long. After arriving so late, it was only seemly that he should stay long enough for the speech, no matter how tight that cut his work back at the school - he would be very short on time to distribute all of tonight's doses of wolfsbane before his own curfew, but he did have obligations.

Nonetheless, he wasn't really listening to the speech, more than just a surface attention as he mentally catologued such things as which route would be the most expeditious to return to Hogwarts and begin distribution, and berating himself for not bringing Perry's dose with him, though there probably would have been no way to get it to him with enough discretion in a crowd of this size ( ... )

Seamus was hardly interested in Pansy or her speech. He was well bred enough to pretend to listen attentively, but not desperate enough to actually listen. He visited the bar and got himself a drink, then stood at the back and tried to imagine just how many presents Pansy had gotten tonight and whether she would actually enjoy any of them. The table where he'd placed his as they had entered the ballroom was loaded and there were several more besides. The lass should have a fine time opening them for days ( ... )

While Pansy droned on about how wonderful it was that they had all taken time out just for her, she fought the urge to roll her eyes deciding instead to scan the crowd for her friends. Her eyes rested easily on Seamus who wasn't too far away. As Pansy spoke, Hannah made her way toward her friend.

Suddenly, she froze in her tracks as a voice interrupted their hostess and goaded them all into a chorus of For she's a jolly good fellow. As the song droned on Hannah pushed her way past several confused individuals grabbing a piece of paper as it fluttered to the ground ( ... )

safinnigan October 13 2006, 15:14:06 UTC

Seamus heard Hannah’s voice and stopped long enough to turn towards her. As soon as she got close enough he took her hand in his and started off towards Parvati and Roger, who he’d spotted in the crowd ahead.

“Aye, lass, let’s get everyone and get out of here.”

This was no time to be loitering. The Ministry of Magic was bound to show an interest in these festivities. And where their interest led trouble was certain to follow, at least as far as Seamus was concerned.

He shoved one of the offensive pamphlets into a pocket of his dress robes as he reached for his wand. With his wand in one hand and Hannah in the other, he was determined to get them all out of here as soon as he could, even if it meant apparating directly from here to The Leaky.

Hannah xouldn't help but feel a bit of comfort when Seamus took her hand, even if it was just so he wouldn't loose her in the mayhem that was breaking out.

She looked in the direction he was pulling her and saw Parvati and her date up ahead. Hannah then turned her attention to scanning the crowd around her for Padma, Lavender, or Neville. Of course, it did not good as she found herself having to turn her attention back to Seamus who was pulling her rather eratically through the crowd as he manuevered his way through.

It was easy to make her way to the front of the room. She wanted to be there, prominently in the front, to support Pansy in her hour of glory, just as she always had been there back in the Slytherin common room. She stood near the front, enjoying a glass of champagne in her friend’s honour as she waited for Pansy and her parents to appear and thank the gathering for their attendance and gifts. Pansy looked defiant and resplendent at the same time in her vibrant green, glittering silver and elaborate tattoo ( ... )
