“That isn’t true, I for the most part have spent my life filled with people tha adore me, not only because I embody what it means to be a perfect daughter,” she spoke defensively. “But I am first, and foremost a Black. It just so happens the Malfoy’s are incredibly busy people. I need another bottle of champagne.” 

[verathenas]

“Oh really? Would have never guessed.” Vera replied sarcastically, thinking of her own family and how she only saw them as a burden. “Yes, yes you are, hence you are more important than some busy prick named Lucius.” She said, flashing a smile. “Cheers.”

“What the fuck?” Reece exclaimed, getting up. “I don’t have time for games alright? So you are coming with me.” He said, forecfully grabbing her by the arm while trying to wipe his face from the liquid she had poured on him. 

[verathenas]

“Hey! Let go of me!” Vera struggled against his grip, finding a way to slap him with her free hand. She looked desperately around for anyone to noticed, but to no avail continued to struggle as he pulled her away.

[nikolasxb]

“I’m sure you’re the one to blame for that.” He replied. “Oh bad come back, sweetheart, I suggest you don’t leave, after all I come at quite the perfect time don’t I?”

[verathenas]

Vera turned once again, rapidly taking the bottle from him before spilling its contents on his head. “I suggest you leave me alone.”

“I gotta ask– where did you get that dress?”

[verathenas]

"Not diagon alley, it's imported from France."

[evaflcres-blog]

“You did walk up to me.”

[verathenas]

"Did not see you there."

[nikolasxb]

“Hey well look what the cat dragged in” Reece said sarcastically. “Look at how lucky I am to have ran into your bottle, do you want it back or can you afford another one?” 

[verathenas]

“Well your nasty attitude never leaves you does it?” Vera said coldly, glancing down at her bottle. “I’m sure you already contaminated it so happy birthday, you can have it.” She forced a smile and turned to leave.

“How sweet.” She said with a fake grin. “Is the Leaky Cauldron ok?” Freya asked, making her way before she could answer. “Why are you so mean anyways?”

[verathenas]

“Could we go somewhere else instead? I’d rather avoid the Leaky Cauldron.” Vera spoke, catching up to the girl. “I know of a really good Greek restaurant just down the street the other way.” She suggested. “And I’m not mean, just blunt.”

[sirivsblaqk]

Narcissa froze, realizing that there was no use in denying the truth. “Right, I suppose it’s that obvious.” She spoke bitterly, finishing off the last of her current glass of champagne. “You’d think they’d work around my schedule seeing as I’m the one they’re meant to impress.”

[verathenas]

“Never have I heard anything so true.” Vera shrugged, avoiding getting into the reasons why she was stood up. “If you need any sort of advice you should probably learn that no one will ever care, do or say anything to impress you unless they want something. That’s something I’ve learned the hard way.”

[nikolasxb]

“Oh fuck, is this yours… oops.” 

[verathenas]

Vera walked back to her table after picking up her order and froze at the sight of Reece. “What are you doing here?”

[sirivsblaqk]

“I did not get stood up,” Narcissa became instantly defensive, despite it being the truth the last thing she would admit to is being stood up. “Plans just didn’t work out the way I had hoped, it’s common when dealing with busy people.”

[verathenas]

“Sure, and I’m the Queen of England.” Vera replied sarcastically, thought not really meaning to. “That sounds about the same, aren’t busy people the worst? One must always work around their schedule.” 

[notsonormalhouse]

“What other?”

[verathenas]

“Oh you know, the evil widow thing you mentioned.”

[freyamort]

“Um what? No.. oh please don’t tell me it’s the veela stuff, I’m- I’m just being nice.” Freya said nervously. 

[verathenas]

“The what? Sorry, no. I don’t think you are that pretty.” Vera replied, shrugging her shoulders as she scrunched her nose. “Nice is nice enough, shall we go? I’m actually starving.” 

[notsonormalhouse]

“You would still have a proof to show your friends you saw the evil widow.” She said with a shrug.

[verathenas]

“I really hope you are not talking about yourself because I missed the other.”

[tbhted-blog]

“You kinda were watching me. You’ve actually been staring for about five minutes.”

[verathenas]

“Maybe you reminded me of someone I’m starting to hate.”

[freyamort]

“Really I would have never guessed.” Freya said, nodding. “Right, I’m going to the Leaky Cauldron from lunch, would you like to join?”

[verathenas]

"Is this your awkward way of asking me out?" Vera exaggerated with a roll of her eyes before smiling at her. "Fine, it's not like I've got anything good going on right now."

[nikolasxb]

“Why are you being overdramatic?” Nick sighed, shaking his head not really taking her conversation too seriously. “Are you saying you think I will fail? I trust you but clearly it’s not a reciprocated.” He said, growing frustrated. “Would you please stop?”

[verathenas]

Vera bit her cheeks to avoid saying something she would surely regret. "You are so thick headed that can't even see past your obsession with working with them" she shook her head and stepped outside before turning to face him one more time. "Bye Nick."

[tbhted-blog]

“Are you just gonna stand there and watch me drink or are you gonna join me?”

[verathenas]

"I wasn't watching you, and you are damn right I'm going to get myself another drink."
