"He--hey." The Gryffindork flashed his old Ravenclaw friend a lopsided grin. "You, uh-- you look great, Ellie." And indeed she did. But Ellie had always been a pretty girl, she didn't have to put much effort at all.
As Emma then announced that they were ready for dinner and turned to her boyfriend for confirmation, Braeden smiled and nodded his head. Yep. All ready.
NOT.
The poor boy was a mess of nerves, his legs were beginning to feel like jello and his hands and arms refused to stay still as he ran a hand through his hair, then fixed up his bow tie, straightened out his jacket, and simply continued to find things to do. He just couldn't stay still. He was too anxious.
As the group began moving, Braeden repositioned himself to walk behind the girls, not wanting to stand between Ellie and Emma. He'd hogged up Emma enough; it was Ellie's turn to enjoy her friend's company now.

Ellie smiled when Braeden said she looked great. He was always so sweet. "Thank you. You're looking rather handsome yourself, Mr. Stonem." She flashed him a pearly smile and then reached up to fix a lock of his hair that was standing on end. There. And wow. He looked extremely nervous. Poor kid.
But yes, it was time for dinner. Ellie didn't think it was a good idea to keep the Malfoy's waiting. Ellie smiled when Braeden let Ellie walk with Emma. That was sweet of him. Ellie linked her arm through Emma's. "Shall we?" she asked, starting to walk down the hall. But she didn't really know where she was going so... hopefully she was going in the right direction.
Emma gave Braeden a reassuring smile. Everything would be alright. Her father had to be on his best behavior. And so would her brother. Though Emma couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She bit her lip briefly. Turning around to link arms with Ellie, she grinned at her Ravenclaw best friend. It was great to have Ellie here with them. "
Yes, let's," she said as Ellie led them off down the hall in the right direction. Well the quickest direction. Malfoy Manor was such a huge house that if you kept turning one direction you would eventually end up back in the place that you started.
"
We'll reach the staircase soon so we can just head down the stairs and take a right," explained Emma, guiding her two friends to the dining room. She winked at Ellie, "
So Ellie. How's things with Dallin? Is he well?" she asked with her famous Malfoy smirk playing upon her lips as she led her friends down the stairs. Mwaha.
She loved hosting dinner parties at Malfoy Manor.
Once everything was perfectly set in the dining room, Emma's mother made her way to the bottom of the stairs to greet Emma and her friends. Lilianna Malfoy, dressed in an elegant black dress, was looking forward to this evening. Both Draco Severus and Scorpius had promised to be on their best behavior so everything was going to go perfectly. Or if it did not, she would be furious. If there was one thing that anyone would need to learn about Lilianna Malfoy would be the fact that she is an absolute perfectionist. If a dinner napkin was not folded perfectly, she herself would redo it before scolding the person who had done a bad job in the first place. In her mind, if a task was not completed to 165% than it was not complete.
Clasping her hands in front of her, she waited for the three young adults to arrive whilst Draco Severus and her husband waited in the dinning room. A smile played upon her thin lips and her eyes sparkled with excitement. She was going to make this night absolutely wonderful for her daughter's friends, Mr. Stonem and Miss Johansen. Both young adults seemed quite lovely. Braeden was a little clumsy at times but had a good heart whilst Ellie was witty and delightful. She approved of both of Emma's friends.
