Efforts Rewarded | Malfoy Party Open

The party was going perfectly. It seems all of Narcissa’s careful planning was paying off. The decorations were perfect, the music set a nice mood, and the food was divine. All that was left was to enjoy the party. 

Narcissa flits through the crowd, greeting everyone with a smile on her face. She’s got no clue were her husband is, hasn’t seen him since they formally welcomed everyone to their home. She grabs a drink off of a passing tray and smiles at someone who’d caught her eye. “Hello. I hope you’re enjoying the party.”

I Wanna Dance With Somebody | Open

It must be the champagne, but Maya actually feels happy tonight. Or maybe it’s the hint of spring in the air or the fact that, despite it not being her party, she feels heads turning wherever she goes. It’s her first social engagement, really, since Archie’s funeral and though she’s in her customary black, her less than somber attitude is sure to start some rumors. Let them. She’s done pretending like she cared about that vile man. The hem of her knee length black skirt is enchanted with pink, blooming roses, with even more blooming along the boat neckline of her gown-Maya feels like she herself might be blooming too. She smiles a bit wistfully, swaying to herself next to the dance floor, watching people twirl around to the live band. Merlin, she must be drunk, because she giggles, turning towards the person next to her.

“Don’t they look wonderful?”

“I miss having a consistent dance partner.”

“What is the point of these things?” he mused, “other than showing how much money you have and how many elves you can cram into one kitchen.”

Old Fashioned || Kingsley and Maya

She spots him out of the corner of her eye as Maya slides up to the bar and stifles a snort. Of course Narcissa would’ve invited aurors to this. Maya is quietly impressed-its genius, get on their good side, guarantee protection for herself and Lucius.

“It’s funny. Auror Shacklebolt.” Maya says lightly, still not looking over at him but feeling his gaze on her the second she says his name.

“You didn't strike me as the dancing type during our brief encounter. Gigglewater and whiskey.” She says to the house-elf behind the bar. Once it scurries away, Maya turns her gaze and it’s full effect towards the man who foolishly tried to destroy her, letting the monster in her take over. 

“Nor did I expect you to look quite so handsome in your dress robes.” 

He looks a little dazed-Maya never gets tired of that look, despite the hundreds of times she’s been on the receiving end of it.

“You got any other surprises up your sleeve?”

Of course, not everything could go smoothly at the event. Narcissa spots him before he spots her. Remus Lupin -- always running with the Marauders and, more importantly, Sirius Black. She frowns and sets her drink on a passing empty tray before heading over to him. “Remus Lupin.” Her voice is far more pleasant and kind than it ought to be. “I didn’t expect you.”
