Siobhan could tell that her kids were less than happy. It was fairly obvious, after all. But, she couldn't help that there'd been no one to babysit. And an invitation like this wasn't one that a person simply turned down. She hated that they were so bored, but then, it was early still. Perhaps there would be more children along later in the evening. She could hope. She patted Prudence gently on the head. "Prudence, sweet, we've only just arrived. I'm sure you'll find some way to entertain yourself." She glanced at Devin, her expression thoughtful. "Devin, dear, why don't you go and find yourself and your sister something to eat? You had an early lunch, I'm sure you could both eat." It wasn't much, but it was something. They could go look over the buffet table. Siobhan was fairly certain that she didn't need to keep too close an eye on them; their names had been on the invitation, so presumably the Brightons had something set up in regards to caring for the youngsters.

 ▷Former Hufflepuff▷Muggleborn▷Married to Aedan Lowery▷Sticky Wicket Owner and Chef →Ciaran arrived with his family outside of the large manor fidgeting slightly with his baby girl sitting prettily in his arms. To be quite frank he was pretty sure he wouldn't have agreed to come to such a thing had Siobhan not found the absolute most adorable outfit for little Caty making him want to show her off to the world. Of course he forgot that the world was inhabited by people...oh well. Walking inside he could already see the ball was practically in full swing with adults and teenagers mingling left and right and the only other children he saw were...was that Pru? "Alright kiddies, don't stray to far from us who knows what could happen..." As the crowd swelled and relaxed around him he held the little girl tighter to him using her as his life line. As much as he liked a party balls were a whole other set of problems. Plus his feet felt itchy and uncomfortable in the new shoes Aedan made him buy but luckily he did get out of wearing a tie, nasty little buggers they are. Although, sneaking a side look at his hubby he couldn't contain a sexy leer, his Irish chap certainly made them look appealing. ← Candy says I hate the quiet places

 Caty held tight to her daddy, who was carrying her. Everyone was dancing, making her eyes go quite wide. "Daddy! Lookie at aww the people! They're so pwetty!" She grinned, looking happier than normal. When she saw all the fancy girls and boys, she lifted her head up a bit. "All them ladies have one boy, but I'm a lucky girl. I gots me two!" She beamed up at her parents, happily claiming them both as her dates for the night.

Joey walked next to Tanna, his arm looped through hers. Although the two were walking with the other Ellis and their dates, they trailed behind everyone. Upon making their way closer and closer to all of the guests, Joey noticed that his date's arm tightened around him. Noticing, a small chuckle escaped the man's lips. "Nervous, are we?" he asked jokingly, hoping to calm Naitanna's nerves down if only by a little bit.

 ✥10 Years Old✥
✥Former Orphan✥
✥Future Wizard✥ Kenny looked around the crowded room. So many people looking fancy and well dressed how could people ask him not to pick there pockets. He bit his lip as he wondered if he could get away with stealing from people here. If he got caught would he be taken back to the orphanage. He had never trusted adults and he was still unsure about these people who was now his family. He tried to move out of his fathers sight and looked around for something nice to take. It did not need to be anything impotent, If he stole a salad fork it would be nice.

Landon Price
Former Hufflepuff
Muggle Studies Professor   Location: Brighton's Estate Landon took a sip of his drink before thinking about how he liked teaching. He supposed the truth would suffice. It wasn't like he was against telling the honest truth. "So far I'll admit it's nice to see the kids that take my class have such interest for the way muggles do things. Although I would much prefer to teach one of the flying classes." he told her. There was no sense hiding that after all the whole school probably knew that he would do anything to get a flying instructor position. "Well at least you have a cat. I mean I only have a small green frog as company when I'm not with students." Landon told Germaine as he took another sip of his drink. "Not that a frog is a bad pet just the simplest one I could think of getting at the time. So out of curiosity what kind of cat is it and what’s the felines name?" He asked her. Little did Landon know that Germaine’s cat had a very interesting name... Status: She looks stunning With: Germaine OOC: ---((Outfit in pic))

I don't like WALKING around this OLD and EMPTY HOUSE
So HOLD my HAND, I'll WALK with you, my DEAR
The stairs CREAK as I SLEEP, it's KEEPING me AWAKE
It's the HOUSE telling you to CLOSE your EYES There's an OLD VOICE in my HEAD that's HOLDING me BACK
Well TELL her that I MISS our LITTLE TALKS
SOON it will be OVER and BURIED with our PAST
We used to PLAY OUTSIDE when we were YOUNG and full of LIFE and full of LOVE  ~Madam Germaine Dyan Umber~
~Former Hufflepuff~
~Muggleborn~ company- Landon Price
location- Brighton Estate
reading- Jane Eyre
wearing- bespectacled beauty Germaine smiled softly. "When I was at Hogwarts, barely anyone took the class. This generation seems much more connected to the muggle world. They're certainly able to blend in with the muggles better than I ever was as a teenager." Despite being a muggleborn, she'd still attracted plenty of strange looks when she'd gone out amongst the general non-magical public. Probably because she'd tended to dress a good decade behind everyone else. The eccentric Hufflepuff had always liked old things. She gave him a curious look. "You want to be a flying instructor? Were you on the Quidditch team? I was never any good, though I did enjoy the flying bit. I just cant fly terribly fast." Cue awkward chuckle, both at her own lack of athletic skill and at his next question. Oh dear. "He's a ginger persian. I've had him since I was seventeen. He's named Sir Fluffytail." This was the part where people laughed and assumed she was joking. Nope. "I have a weird sense of humor?" she offered as a weak excuse somewhat apologetically. Eh. She had the right to call her cat whatever she wanted, right? Without LIBRARIANS, what do we HAVE? No PAST and no FUTURE. You're GONE AWAY
I WATCHED you DISAPPEAR
ALL that's LEFT is the GHOST of YOU
Now we're TORN APART There's NOTHING we can DO
Just LET me GO we'll MEET again SOON
Now WAIT for ME, please HANG AROUND
I'll SEE you when I FALL ASLEEP

N E W L Y N | T A R A | V A S SH U F F L E P U F F | B L O O D T R A I T O R | F I F T H Y E A R  Newlyn took a moment to distractedly register her best friend's presence before nodding mutely and taking a drink from Chloe. After a long sip she finally opened her mouth. "Thank you. My father..." something in her listless expression seemed to contort for a moment. "Mitchell," she said finally, "Mitchell threw out the invitation. Morven grabbed it out of the fire. I didn't want to come, but Elsie and Morven would have nagged incessantly about it... They jump at any chance to go out somewhere. I don't think he even knows where we are right now. I certainly didn't say anything to him." Her blue eyes hardened for a few brief seconds, before she sighed. "You've probably guessed by now that we're not on the best of terms... I never really knew how to say it. Here's the brief version: He's hated me ever since my mum was killed by a werewolf in front of me. It doesn't have to make sense. Nothing in my life makes any sense." she finished bitterly. The Hufflepuff took another sip of her drink and stared at the floor before looking up again and attempting a smile. She failed horribly; it looked more like a grimace. "I shouldn't be so dramatic, though, right? Nobody's life is perfect." Mine just seems to be extra imperfect. "What's the news with you and Sun? I mean, you like him, right? As more than a friend? Does he... Does he know?"The more SYMPATHY you GIVE, the LESS you NEED Until the DAY that I see YOU on the other side

Gwynfair Wyn, Minister for Magic AppearanceCadoc Wyn, Welsh Seeker and Captain AppearanceDarryn Wyn, Welsh Chaser AppearanceIdris Wyn, Improper Use of Magic Office AppearanceAravis Radcliffe, Healer AppearanceZephyr William Radcliffe, Two Year Old With a large crack through the air, the Wyn family, with Darryn's date and her son arrived at the Brighton Manor. It was a wonderful event to be invited to, and such a wonderful summer to have it in. It certainly beat last summer's chaos at the circus. If any good came out of that event, it was that Darryn and Aravis met each other. The two had gotten quite close and even little Zephyr William liked the man that his mother was falling in love with. The rest of the Wyn family wondered if their brother was planning on marrying the widow and adopting her son. They certainly wouldn't mind. As they approached the house, Zephyr William held tightly to his mother's hand. He had never been here before. He had never seen everyone so dressed so fancy, nor had he ever been in such formal attire. "Mummy, my feet hurt!" the little boy complained as his pace slowed. Being the two year old that he is, he hadn't taken his nap for the day. "Zephyr William, I am not carrying you the rest of the way. It's not that far. You're getting too big for me to carry you everywhere," his mother responded, sounding used to this sort of thing coming from her son. "Why can't we use magic?" the toddler asked, complaining about how he couldn't do anything. "Because that wouldn't be nice. Besides, we might scare someone," Darryn replied before his girlfriend got upset. "Now listen to your mother," he said as the group continued on. They were not the first ones to arrive. Gwenfair didn't like to be first. It made her seem more important than the hosts. It was better to sneak in later and mingle with the crowd. "I think we should go find our hosts," the Minister decided after looking around for a bit. ((Could be longer...should be longer, don't have time, but man I needed to post something. Hiatus is driving me nuts!))

 Jarlath pulled at the color of the outfit his mother had picked for him, he hated being all dressed up, and even more so that he was in a crowded room of people he did not know. In fact, besides his family, he saw no one he knew. Which was just boring. "Mum, what is there to do here?" he asked with a bored tone. The boy wanted to go back home and practice Quidditch, he wanted to make the main team this year. He had dedicated most of his hours of the summer to practice. I need to do well. I don't want to be second string forever. he thought as he looked around in his boredom.

  There were so many people here it was almost maddening. The colors of robes and dresses were running together creating one emphatic rainbow and Jinhai thought it was magnificent. He too was adding to the flow with his newly tailored homeland robes; for such a magnificent affair his common cheongsam was too normal and nondescript. Tonight he was modeling one of two newly purchased hanfus, this one of shiny maroon with golden and brown accents. A brown belt and vest also accompanied and his long sleeves formed almost a bell shape around his hands making them flair up and out whenever he moved which both delighted and entertained the young man to no end. Now if only he could find his dear Austin to do these things and his night would be complete. Just thinking of his longtime lover made his ever present smile brighten considerably drawing the looks of admirers from the crowd to which he payed no notice. To him he was always stared at, if for only being a foreigner in an even more foreign land, he felt no stress of them for his eyes only, and have always, strayed to that of his love. And like always they were seeking across the crowed room for ebony feather downy hair, and electric blue eyes that he was sure made the angels themselves jealous. Of course it wasn't just his looks that drew the Chinese wizard to him, it was him, his very essence and being. If he only knew who he'd get down on bent knee and praise whichever deity it was that brought him into his life, and currently was cementing their lives forever more. That thought only almost made Jinhai float to the sky and he would have feeling his magic react to his buoyant mood and allowing him to move easily throughout the crowd looking for his soon-to-be. Finally after what felt like hours (minutes) of searching he found Austin by the musicians sitting at the piano, an act which in itself made his heart rate speed up. What a treat! He always loved hearing him play, watching his long slender fingers create such beautiful and melodic sound, it was no wonder he loved those certain appendages. Well, that and for other reasons. Jinhai made his way over to them but hesitated as to get any closer afraid he might anger any of the hired musicians. So instead he stayed as close as humanly possible, without being technically with them, and waved and smiled to his love.

 It's just another war
Just another family torn
Just a step from the edge Michael noticed his oldest daughter heading away from him and was sure the rest of the teens would follow her. It seemed to him they'd like to escape from the watchful eyes of parents. It was honestly no surprise to him what with the way he kept a protective eye on his family now, and with Gracie and Dominic so... close. He narrowed his eyes slightly at that. He thought of her as his daughter by now and he wasn't so sure he liked a boy and her being so... close.
Sighing and reverting his attention to Wesley, Michael shrugged slightly. "She seems to be alright, but ever since the murder, she tends to keep things bottled up inside. I have a feeling if anything was truly wrong she would come to me though, or at the very least go to Michelle..." He wasn't going to deny it, Michelle quite possible could be more helpful and useful in Gracie's situation than him at the moment. Michelle had a lot more freedom to do as she pleased, while he had to continue to keep his appearances up. He couldn't go knocking people's doors down just because they wronged his niece... Michelle could and would.
"Dinner with you and your son would be pleasant. A good change from sitting around at home. It just isn't the same without my sister in the kitchen cooking away and the house elves rarely smile, and I haven't heard a single tune from either of them since her death...." He paused with a heavy sigh. He missed his sister dearly. "It seems her death sucked the livelihood from all of us."Michelle blinked as they all agreed to move to somewhere farther away from watchful eyes. Her own attention was quite aware of the Montagues, her father, Damien's father, all paying attention to the small group of teens. It wasn't like they were outright staring... no proper adult would do that, but she could feel their presence... she had become use to the sensation of someone watching her. It was one of the reasons she had decided to sign up for a specific class for the following year.
Michelle glanced at the quieter and less crowded place by the food before heading in that direction. The rest of the group could follow her if they like, she honestly didn't care much. She could watch over Gracie from afar or from near by. Either way would work for her.Gracie giggled quietly at the mischievous air Dominic was putting off. She also couldn't help but notice the subtle increase in the rhythm of his heart or the way his pale cheeks were dusted a slightly pinker hue. Did being around his friends with her.... embarrass him? Part of her was oh so tempted to play with this new piece of information and see how much she could make him squirm.... if only to find something to amuse herself with for the night.
Honestly... she had to put all her focus into him, or the overwhelming sound of heart beats and blood rushing through veins and laughter and music and..... noise so much noise. It would drive her nuts if she didn't let her mind seize onto him and never let go.
She gave him playful grin and let the new information rest for now. Instead she simply slid one arm around his waist and smiled politely at the rest of the group of people. "Of course you want to go over to the food Dom." She said, rolling her eyes with a quiet laugh. He was so predictable sometimes. She wasn't opposed to the idea though. She honestly didn't care where they went. If they could, she would have helped sneak off past the barriers to somewhere less crowded and easier on her sensitive ears.
As she waited to see what everyone else's reaction to the food idea was she smiled up at her loving boyfriend and snuggled closer to his side. Partly because she liked being closer to him and partly because his large chest helped to cut off a lot of the noise around her and his heart beat always proved to calm her rushing mind. "My summer's been good I suppose. I spent a couple extra days up in Hogsmeade before returning home." She couldn't help the amused smile that drifted onto her lips at the memory of the events that had passed at the Shrieking Shack with Professor Moreau. It also made her wonder... when would her power kick in, and what would it be?Elli nodded her head quietly at David's explanation of why he was here. It seemed the Brighton's had invited quite near everyone they knew. It was strange she supposed. She wondered just why they were suddenly having a ball. Honestly, she had asked her father, and he had told her that he barely even knew the Brighton's, and only knew them through his connections at work. So why were they having such an expansive and expensive party?
Humming thoughtfully to herself, she left Ver to fend for herself in this conversation. At least until David brought her up again, or said something she was interested in. At the moment she honestly didn't want to talk about Quidditch or dating or any of that chiz. She had only just barely gotten over her boyfriend's recent comatose state (thank god he'd woken up), and her new captaincy. Ver blinked and smiled at David awkwardly. She right at this moment truly wished Darius was here next to her. He always made her feel more comfortable in her own skin, and at the very least would speak for her if she couldn't get the nerves up to do so.
Elli used to do the same, but now, her twin seemed dead set on leaving her to find her own way. Something about her needing to grow up and face the world alone. That her and Elli wouldn't always be together. Ver sighed, knowing it was full well true... she just didn't want to admit it yet. "Yeah. I've seen you play Quidditch. You're really good.... I hope you're not angry about Elli's.... er.... promotion?"OOC: ...

Aedan smiled as he looked at Ciaran carrying Caty. Kenny looking around at the large ballroom and Siobhan with her kids nearby. "Ciaran, love, I'm gonna make ya dance with me tonight." he said with a chuckle as he wrapped an arm around the younger man and ruffled Caty's hair. This is quite a rather nice ball. he thought as he looked around and smiled at the group of relatives. "Siobhan, how about we watch the kids and you go thank the hosts for inviting us." he said with a smile. He looked down at Jarlath who was pulling at his collar with a look of boredom on his face, and chuckled.

 Location: Brighton Estate Chloe could tell that her best and truest friend was rather off. As Newlyn went to explain why her father wasn't there it became clear why she was off. "Oh..." she said taking a sip of her drink. Chloe didn't know what to say about Mitchell. Clearly they didn't see eye to eye. The question of why didn't remain unanswered for long as Newlyn went into explaining why they weren't on good terms. Why tonight was the night to give Chloe the digest version was beyond her but would be there for her friend regardless. "Newlyn..." Chloe was stunned. She had no idea her friend’s mother got killed by a werewolf or that her father hated her. Granted how that gave Mitchell a reason to hate his own daughter made no sense to her. It did explain a lot about why she never wanted to go home at the end of the year. "No, that's not it at all. That's terrible Newlyn." she said correcting her friend on whether she was being dramatic or not. "You're right it doesn't make much sense at all. I mean how he can hate you for that is beyond me, but you don't have to elaborate." Chloe told her calmly her voice filled with sadness. "I've never been the type to pry into personal problems but I want you to know that I'm here for you if you want to talk... rumor has it I'm a good listener." she told her not wanting to push into it. Her live might not be a mess but her cousins had it pretty rough although her uncle didn't hate them. Then the conversation shifted to her and Sun. That's right she never told Newlyn about what happened between the two of them. "Sun and I... there's actually quite a bit of news on that. Where to start...?" Chloe pondered for a moment. "Well to answer your questions, yes I like him as more than a friend and yes he knows." she told her. "In fact we've been hanging out a lot... dating actually." Chloe wondered how her friend would take the news. Taking almost a gulp of her drink she looked over at Newlyn. "I was meaning to tell you earlier but one thing led to another and I never said anything." she admitted. Status: What...? With: Newlyn Wearing: Blue and Gold OOC: ---  Whiskers the Cat

N E W L Y N | T A R A | V A S SH U F F L E P U F F | B L O O D T R A I T O R | F I F T H Y E A R Newlyn couldn't quite believe what she had just told her friend. She was a very private person, and had intended to keep mum on any details about her family and home life, but it had been holed up for a long time, and once she had started talking, she couldn't stop. Thank Merlin Chloe was a calm, sensible girl and didn't make a huge deal out of it or get very upset. "Thank you," she said finally. "Good listeners are few and far between, you know?" Her tense form seemed to relax a little and she ran her finger through her dark hair, thinking. "But as much as he can't stand the sight of me, I think Mitchell despises himself much more." That was her final, quiet comment on the matter. She latched eagerly onto the much less depressing topic of her best friend's budding romance. "That's great, Chloe. Really. You've been trying to get him to open up for a while now. I'm so happy for you." she managed. Her own romance had been tragic and short lived, but the other girl's was blossoming into something that could potentially last a while. Newlyn didn't think Sun was the type to be foolish with girls. He was so serious it didn't really seem likely, and the two quietly complimented each other. She shook her head at Chloe's apology. "How long do I usually take to tell you things?" she asked wryly. "It's fine. I know how... crazy things can get when you really like someone. I mean, I was with Jayden..." she struggled, but carried on. "For a long while before I even ever mentioned him to you."The more SYMPATHY you GIVE, the LESS you NEED Until the DAY that I see YOU on the other side
