Draco sat next to her, eyeing the surroundings carefully. He noted Severus' presence, not that it was a surprise by any means, and wondered briefly how this event would affect him. Would it make him more nervous? Would it calm him? Taking a sip, he gave up on trying to figure out his mentor, even on something as simple as this.

"Lavender? Who's Lavender?" he asked, following Daphne's gaze. He noticed a blond speaking to Granger. Well, no accounting for taste. Granger, the ever present thorn in his side.

He scanned the room. The Great Saviour. Of course he'd be here. Looking around, he was finding fewer and fewer people worth his time or effort.

He really should dance with the bride at some point, that whole making a show of being polite and all that.

"Yeah, she was a pureblood Gryffindor. I believe she dated the Weasel boy at one point. I don't know... she seemed nice." She frowned slightly at the fact that she was talking with the mudblood.

"Though, she doesn't seem to have any taste in who she talks with when she's not drinking."

Daphne took Draco's hand in hers. She needed to feel his touch, in hopes that she wouldn't feel so anxious and out of place yet again. Looking at him, she smiled; a small inner sigh at just the sight of him. He probably felt a bit mis-placed also.

Unfortunately, she might have to go through talking with Professor Snape again. Maybe now that Draco and her had admitted to wanting a relationship with each other, he might be slightly nicer to her. Most likely not.

Pureblood Gryffindor. Grand. More reasons the world had gone upside down.

"Apparently," he agreed blandly.

As she took his hand, he smiled, bringing her fingers to his lips briefly. "Daphne, don't let this get to you. And, you didn't have to come tonight. I would have understood."

He would. Hell, he really would have understood. What was wrong with him?

He thought to the silence this week. He thought about Pansy, briefly, then forced the thoughts from his mind. He could not afford to think of her right now. He would deal with her tomorrow, or next week. Hopefully.

Right now, he needed to handle the lovely in his presence. Daphne.

Daphne sighed and smiled gently. "But I wanted to be here for you. Plus it wouldn't be a bad thing to get my presence out amongst other portions of our society."

She leaned in close to Draco. "It's a good way to advertise for Honeyduke's." She laughed softly.

There were definitely more comfortable situations she'd prefer to be in, but there were uncomfortable situations she was willing to be in if it would put a positive thought in Draco mind or if it meant that business would bloom even more so at Honeyduke's.

She unconsciously stroked her fingers along her side, but kept a smile on her face.

He chuckled then and nodded. "I assure you, there are far more effective ways of advertising your skill at making sweets." He smirked slightly, "And true, you should share the brilliance that is your smile with the world."

She really was lovely, and he could not have found a more perfect necklace for her.

"How is business going? I haven't had the chance to ask," since we've been dealing far too many other things currently/

His eyes flickered just an instant, just slightly, and only if she was looking intently. He hoped she wasn't. He didn't want to talk about Pansy. He wanted to focus on positive things. Happy thoughts and upbeat occasions.

"I still should come back and actually buy more of those chocolates."

"Ah, being sly are we?" She teased.

"Business is doing well. Those chocolate wizard chess sets I started making are selling incredibly well. Keeping me quite busy when I'm in the shop." She laughed. Not noticing the flicker in his eyes as she was briefly watching the other guests, she continued.

"You should just come back, period." She liked teasing Draco in this way and he did well to rid her of her negative thoughts. She was still uncomfortable being the 'outcast' at the party, though.

Seamus was seated in the front of the Prancing Unicorn for the wedding, more than glad for Caleb to be the one in front of the crowd this time and not himself. Caleb, however did not looked anything but supremely happy. Seamus was extremely happy himself, filled with memories of his and Char’s lovely wedding in Kenmare nearly a year past. Constance Beven Finnigan was in Kenmare now with her namesake Grandmother, but Char was here, and looking beyond lovely in her bridesmaid gown ( ... )

"Seamus!" Caleb cried, slapping his friend on the back and hugging him tightly. "Thanks for coming mate. My side of the altar was pretty bare there," he said, chuckling. "It was nice having "family" there. Where's my baby girl?" he asked, looking for little Stan.

He then turned to Charlotte, kissing her on the cheek. "Thank you again for standing up for me, it meant more than you can possibly know to have my little sister there. My family."

Caleb merely grinned when Charlotte started going off on him with emotional French.

"We think of you as family, too, mate!" Seamus beamed as Char gushed in her native French, clearly as happy for Caleb as he was ( ... )
