An owl pecked at Alecto's window early on the morning of her ball. Creamy white with flecks of gold; such a pretty owl could only belong to Narcissa so there was no need to label the package to the girl. In it's claw was a delicately wrapped, tiny bottle of Felix Felicis with a simple note attached in elegant handwriting. "Happy Birthday Alecto-dear x"
Tapping against the window woke Alecto from her slumber and she ran her hand along her eyes as she tried to wake herself. Sitting up in her large bed, she snapped her fingers and called out in a loud voice, "Crackle," A pop echoed in the room as a house elf appeared and she pointed to the window with a lazy wave of her hand. Wondering who would be sending her an owl so early in the morning. The question was soon answered as she glanced at the owl perched on the house elf's outstretched arm and took the package. Giving instructions to give Narcissa's owl a treat, she dismissed the house elf with a look. Reading the note and then looking at the bottle of Felix Felicis, Alecto smiled genuinely at Narcissa's thoughtful gift. She reminded herself to send her a note of thanks. Slipping the cork from the top, she drank a little bit of the bottle, her mind clearly up instantaneously. Slipping out of the bed, her feet touched the floor and she padded to her walk in closet, she had a good feeling that she would know the perfect outfit to wear for tonight. Tonight was going to be perfect.
