“Jesus feckin’ Christ,” Bertie jumped, not noticing the witch appear beside him. 

“Bleedin’ hell, Jackeen.”

When Dorcas saw James coming down the steps to the Entrance Hall, the first thing she did was laugh. She clapped her hands over her mouth. “I swear I’m not laughing at you,” she said, fighting back giggles. “I did not think you had it in you to make those sartorial choices, is all.”

Rosalind was, surprisingly, enjoying herself. As the first whispers of a formal moved through the halls of Hogwarts, she’d been excited. Formal events were always her favourite. A chance to dress her best, drink champagne, and spend time in good company, was always something she’d be fond of. Except, this time, the company left much to be desired. Narcissa was there, of course, along with her other friends. She’d come with Gilbert, of course, but soon lost him in the crowd. If it meant business was going well, she didn’t mind that part too much. But now, growing bored and wanting attention, she set to seek him out.

He wasn’t hard to find. With a glass of champagne in her hand, she leant against the wall, waiting for him to finish with the Ravenclaw he was speaking to. “Enjoying yourself?” she spoke up, once the other witch had left.

“Watch out, McKinnon,” James only gave her a moments notice before flinging his arms out either side of him, perfectly in time with the song playing.

“I’m one more ridiculous event away from moving to Beauxbaton.”
