[raindrops-on-rosiers]

masquerade ball!!

Pandora walked into the Blacks' ballroom with sparkling eyes, eagerly taking in the extravagant room and the elegant clothes of the people who were already there. Though on one level she hated the rigid, polite-society nature of these events, they were certainly beautiful, and she adored seeing beautiful things.

The Black family was hosting their customary winter ball for the opening of the social season, and this year, it was a masquerade ball. Of course her family was one of the ball's more important guests, as she was engaged to one of their children, and so, unfortunately, she was forced to stand with them to welcome guests, looking like the perfect son. Nonetheless, she couldn't help hoping she'd still get to enjoy the evening.

[earl-of-adders]

Lucius clears his throat as he sidles up to Lord Rosier looking slightly unkempt, he quickly fixes his hair and turns his iron gaze to Pandora @raindrops-on-rosiers "My Lord, how are you?"

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

"Quite well, thank you," Pandora replied in the polite voice she'd practiced so often. "And you? I hope you're enjoying the ball!!"

[earl-of-adders]

He glances side eyed at a passing Remus Lupin. "mm, yes quite well, I am ever grateful for your invite, may we speak..alone?" He glances around lightly, spotting his parents. He looks scared

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

"Of course," she replied amicably, though she was unable to fully hide the surprise from her voice. Following Lucius' gaze, she stared at his parents for a moment, wondering what could be happening. It couldn't be anything bad, right?

[earl-of-adders]

Lucius pulls her to a secluded corner "Lord Rosier...or should I say Lady Rosier, look. I know, I can tell the signs, Autobiography Of Androgyne yes yes I know I will tell you a secret...but first. What is your name?" Lucius tilts his head like a predatory bird

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

Pandora stared at him, panic rising in her throat. How did he figure out? People weren't supposed to figure it out. Would he tell people? She didn't know. No one had figured it out before, at least no one she didn't trust completely. She barely knew Lucius, and the way he'd looked at his parents... She couldn't help being terrified that something terrible would happen.

"What secret?" she asked, carefully maintaining a careless, amicable air. "What are you talking about?"

[earl-of-adders]

He smiles soft and slow, he looks genuine for the first time, open and gestures to his chest. then his hair. "Surely you heard of Lucilla Malfoy, my 'twin' who passed when we were 6, she, ah she didn't exist...she, she was me, I suppose. I was Lucilla"

Lucius smiles broader, "So Lady Rosier, what is your name?"

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

She gasped, unable to contain her shock.

"I... wow. I had no idea," she said, smiling back at him. "And uh... Pandora. My name is Pandora."

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

Later in the evening, Pandora stood at the top of the stairs, leaning over the railing to watch the whirling figures beneath her. A part of her preferred it this way, watching the beauty of society from above. So much of it didn't seem that beautiful at all when you were immersed in its conventions. But from up here, it was so much easier to remember the hope that she clung to so dearly.

Lost in thought, it took her a moment to notice Regulus climbing up the stairs towards her, an uncharacteristic, barely-hidden grin on his face.

@the-new-lord-black

[the-new-lord-black]

"pandora, something wonderful has happened," he beamed, joining her by the railing.

he had at some point changed clothes, from a dress to a suit without the jacket. and a fur cloak.

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

she laughed a little, happy to see her best friend looking so overjoyed. "well? what is it??"

[the-new-lord-black]

"barty crouch jr has happened," regulus sighed, looking out down to the ballroom. "he kissed me. after i had told him my name-"

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

pandora grabbed his hands, her face splitting into a grin "he KISSED YOU?! tell me everything!!"

[the-new-lord-black]

"we talked about books... and i may have flirted.. then we talked about my 'double life' as he put it," regulus smiled,

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

"oh that's wonderful!! i'm so happy for you!! do you have any clue what'll happen now??"

[the-new-lord-black]

"im keeping him, if i can," regulus ran a hand through his hair, "i've had the staff make up a room for him.."

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

"that's good," pandora replied, "let me know if there's anything i can do to help!! you deserve it, you know. having something like that," her gaze drifted from regulus towards the ballroom

[grandiloquent-lupin]

Remus walked through the hall, clearly stunned by the vast amount of decor and people in the hall. He looked around, trying to search for a familiar face. He couldn’t spot Sirius, nor any other servants he knew. He spotted pandora — she looked friendly enough… he weaved through the sea of people, finally reaching the girl. He bowed slightly, “good evening, lady..?” He trailed off.

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

"Rosier," she finished, smiling. She'd never met this man before, but he seemed kind. "I'm engaged to Reg," she said in introduction, nodding towards him. "I suppose I'll be at a lot more of your family's events now that we're both marriageable age. And you are...?"

[grandiloquent-lupin]

“Remus. Remus lupin. I’m Prince Sirius’ servant,” he smiled, holding his hand out for ‘rosier’ to shake. “I believe that you and the princess will make a wonderful couple together.”

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

"Lovely to meet, you Remus," Pandora replied, shaking his hand and returning his smile. "And thank you, that's very kind of you to say," she added, her smile becoming a bit tighter at the comment about her and Reg as a couple.

She supposed she ought to be used to it by now, but it was still a strange picture. The two of them, married, her playing the husband and him as a wife. Ah well, she was sure there was little to be done. And besides, it wouldn't be too bad. He was the best friend she'd ever had.

[grandiloquent-lupin]

Remus noticed the look of discomfort on lord rosier’s face, and wanting to break the tension between them (he was desperate for a conversation) he decided to talk about his job role. “Sirius and I have gained quite the close relationship —very trusting and very friendly, if you understand? He’s definitely a sweeter royal, I have to admit that, and I’m so happy to have seen that side of him,” he rambled before cutting himself off. ”is there anything I could cater for you? I might not be your personal valet, but I will certainly offer,” he asked, looking around and gesturing towards each table full of an array of items.

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

"Aww, that sounds lovely! I haven't gotten to know him terribly well yet, but I certainly expect to! And I'm quite alright, though I thank you for the kind offer."

[grandiloquent-lupin]

”are you sure, my lord? Well, if you do, I’m always here,” he smiled, looking slightly awkward. “Are you familiar with the bl- that’s a silly question,” he laughed, scratching at his necktie.

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

Pandora looked at him curiously, wondering what it was he'd wanted to say. "I'm sure it wasn't that silly of a question," she reassured, smiling at him, her eyes sparkling with the joy she usually reserved for her closer friends. Somehow, his awkwardness made her feel more comfortable, a welcome break from the rigid etiquette she'd had to perform while greeting guests with the Blacks.

The Black family was hosting their customary winter ball for the opening of the social season, and this year, it was a masquerade ball. Of course her family was one of the ball's more important guests, as she was engaged to one of their children, and so, unfortunately, she was forced to stand with them to welcome guests, looking like the perfect son. Nonetheless, she couldn't help hoping she'd still get to enjoy the evening.

Remus walked through the hall, clearly stunned by the vast amount of decor and people in the hall. He looked around, trying to search for a familiar face. He couldn’t spot Sirius, nor any other servants he knew. He spotted pandora — she looked friendly enough… he weaved through the sea of people, finally reaching the girl. He bowed slightly, “good evening, lady..?” He trailed off.

"Rosier," she finished, smiling. She'd never met this man before, but he seemed kind. "I'm engaged to Reg," she said in introduction, nodding towards him. "I suppose I'll be at a lot more of your family's events now that we're both marriageable age. And you are...?"

Oliver and Regina were walking down the busy street together. The two had grown to be friends of sorts, and currently Oliver was leading Regina towards the flower stand.

He was trying his best to contain his excitement and act like a proper gentleman the way his parents had told him to. However, it was terribly difficult to be on his best behavior with the noise and sights of the bustling market swirling around him, and the many colorful stands dotting the street.

[the-new-lord-black]

regina was doing a better job at hiding her excitement, but even she couldnt cover all of the joy she felt at being outside of the mannor. it was a rare day that she was let outside.

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

"I want to go see the flowers," Oliver said, trying to make a plan. As exciting as it was, the amount of hustle and bustle around them was a bit overwhelming. "What about you?"

[the-new-lord-black]

regina nodded, "i want to as well, i'll get you a bouquet-"

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

a smile grew across oliver's face. "thank you!!" her smile grew more mischevious. "father would hate that, you know. he'd say it was all backwards and that i should be buying flowers for you instead because that's what's proper" toward the end of the sentence, he lowered his voice in imitation and started laughing a little

[the-new-lord-black]

regina joined his laughter, "well, i dont see why you should have to spend your allowence when i have more, and you want flowers."

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

"i suppose so!" oliver said, regaining his composure a bit. "it's very kind of you, to get me them"

[the-new-lord-black]

"of course," regina smiled.

it was nice that she smiled at him, he hadnt seen her smile at anyone else. not even her brother. and apparently they had a good relationship.

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

oliver smiled back, and they continued towards the flower stand. it felt special that he'd made her smile, and that made him happy. they were friends now, oliver thought, or at least he hoped, and maybe that would make the whole having to get married part less bad, although he still didn't want to think about.

[the-new-lord-black]

regina looked over the flowers when they got to the stand, "which ones do you like? i think the stargazer lilies are pretty, but-"

[raindrops-on-rosiers]

"i quite like those ones too! although i also love the snowdrops. "
