[Great Hall] Planning the Black Birthday Ball

[narcissablack]

Narcissa and her sister sat at the Slytherin table. It was lunch time, but the sisters had more important things to do. Diana had let out that there would be a dance. A birthday dance for the Black sister's, who would be having a joint birthday even though Narcissa's birthday was a few month's ago. They had decided to wait to have the party so they could celebrate together.

The dance would be outside, by the lake. It would be a formal that everyone was invited to. Narcissa couldn't wait to wear her beautiful dress that went with her eyes. Her and her sister would get to do each other's hair, and spend an amazing night with all of their friends. One thing that was for sure, was that Narcissa would look gorgeous.

Bellatrix sunk down next to her sister. She had a large roll of parchment and a fluffy pink quill in her arms. She dumped it on the table, and unrolled the parchment, making it stay with a bowl of apples and a pitcher of pumpkin juice. She inked her quill, and turned to Narcissa, "First, the Guest List," she said, titling the paper. She immediately listed 'Diana Fortuna' and 'Maeve Malfoy' to the top. Then she wrote 'Scott Brooks', with a heart next to it, and after that, she added 'Will Harris'. She looked to her sister for input. "Who else?" she asked.

"Oh!" she exclaimed, and added 'Daley Lydnon'. Daley was a Gryffindor who just transfered from Beauxbatons. She was very interesting, and they had a nice chat in Hogsmeade the other day.

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve walked down the halls from her Potions class. She was heading for the Great Hall for lunch. She wasn't that hungry, but she knew she'd need something to keep her awake for the rest of the day until dinner. Bursting through the doors like normal, she strode her way to the Slytherin table and took an apple. Seeing her cousins, she walked over and stood over Bella's shoulder. She crunched into her apple and swallowed before saying, "You both already know I'm coming, why add me to the guest list?" she grinned.

Taking out her wand, she pointed to the paper and said, "I personally think you should invite this guy." She made the name 'Aiden Zyler' appear underneath Will. The top right corner of the page began to smoke and Maeve reached over and covered it with her hand, causing it to go out. "Side effect. I can manage to write in flames in the air, but charming a name to appear on paper, I just can't get without that side effect." she sighed. "Troublesome. But, that's besides the point. I think you should invite him to keep me out of your hair." she joked.

"Well, I can't stay for long. Said person is meeting me down by the lake in a few minutes. So, before I go, when are we shopping? We have so many balls to attend this year, it's not funny. That only means more ball gowns to buy or death by our mothers." Scary, but true.

[bellatrixblack]

"We'll shop this weekend," said Bella decidedly. "Oh, and I almost forgot...." Bella added the name 'Joseph DuaTurnabout' to the list. She turned to Maeve with a guilty smile, and said in explaination, "You know our parents would want it, you are going to be married...."

Bella bent back over her paper, and added the name 'Shane Ross'. For Diana. So she would be too occupied to bother Scott. Bella grinned to herself, before flicking a smile to her sister.

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve frowned and pouted when that name was written down on the paper. She rested her chin on Bella's shoulder and took a bite of her apple. "Do you know how much I hate it when you're right?" she sighed. "Can we hurl him off the cliff into the lake and feed him to the giant squid, by any chance?" she asked, hopefully.

She read the next name. "Isn't that the guy Diana talks about nonstop sometimes?" she sighed. "Well, at least you get the two annoying ones out of your way for the night; me and Diana. Occupy us with the right guys, and we will harm you none."

[bellatrixblack]

"No no no, we can feed him to Marishka," Bella corrected. "But I rather like him," said Bella honestly. "He would be a perfectly respectable pureblood match, with a good name and money. He is really not that terrible Maeve."

I'm sooooooo excited for our party, though," Bella squieled. "It's a perfect night for me and Scott to just, spend more time together. I hardly ever see him." Bella reflected sadly.

[narcissablack]

Narcissa smiled at Maeve. She was looking forward to seeing what she would do to Joseph this time.
"I was thinking it would be better if mostly everyone was invited. Then it would make it look more crouded, and more like a party. It would be better if we made a who NOT to invite list. You know, Marishka, Zachary, all them...." She smiled to her sister and formed the word tim so only she could see her. She didnt want to hurt Maeve's feelings, but she knew her sister felt the same about him.

[marcel]

Marcel's giggle could be heard inside the Hall before he even stepped inside. Or floated inside, whatever.

Feeling put out by his train of thought, he scowled and decided he was no longer in a good mood. And what better to do when in a bad mood than terrorize the students?

Sneaking up behind Bellatrix, he snickered quietly into his hand, before shouting out rather excitedly: "A party?" With an over-exaggerated grin, he glided to the center of their table and posed in a ridiculous way. "Am I invited?"

Not waiting to see their reactions, he moved to sit on the edge of the table next to Maeve and stole a quill off the table. He messily scratched his name in his amateur writing on the guest list and grinned wildly. "Looks like I am!"

It took a moment for the shock to settle, but once it had, Marcel was already onto the Ravenclaw table, trying to persuade a first-year to stick a spoon up their nose.

What on earth is with your guys' over-use of the word Wh*re? It's really unattractive, and you're not allowed to use it in the first place.

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve sighed. "Easy for you to say. He doesn't obsess over you." removing her head from Bella's shoulder.

Maeve laughed when the ghost came by and signed his name. "It's be even more fun with the ghosts around us." she watched Marcel try to persuade the student. "Hey, you think he can persuade Joseph to leave me alone?"

[narcissablack]

Narcissa was surprised at the ghost's actions, but she didn't really mind. "Whatever," she said with a half smile to her sister. She wasn't sure how Bella would feel about that...
Narcissa turned to Maeve. "If everything you've done to Joseph over the years won't stop him, I'm afraid nothing will dear." She laughed, thinking of everything Maeve had tried to do to get Joseph away from her.

Turning to her sister, she began planning again. "What will be our main color?"

[bellatrixblack]

Bella's eyes lit up, "Pink!" she squieled. She new her sister would prefer blue, or emerald, but whatever. Bella liked pink! Bella scratched out the names and retitled the paper "WHO IS NOT INVITED"

She listed a few names underneath.

1. Marishka Mayfair
2. Zachary Daniels
3. Hufflepuffs

She smiled and looked for her sisters reaction.

[narcissablack]

Narcissa turned to her sister. "Sounds good." She smiled, pointing her wand to the paper, turning all of the writing pink.
"But if we're having a party, we cant really just not invite two people. How about everyone can come. Although, it would be nice to keep those two certain people away. I do not wish for my party to smell like seven day old ripe tuna."

[bellatrixblack]

"Alright," Bella sighed. "It isn't like they'd come anyways. They know they're unwelcome. In fact, the only one I care that really comes is Scott. I wouldn't really be bothered if no one else came. Not that that would ever happen."

Bella began to examine her nails.
