The day had finally arrived. After months of planning colors, foods, drinks, decorations and every other tiny little detail for this party along with the help of one Maggie Traulton the day came. With everyone to arrive soon minus her party fashion consultant whom arrived earlier Hady was finally ready. Nails were painted and dried and her hair was left to fall loosely down around her shoulders. It had taken extra long to get ready when one wanted to wear anything but a DRESS. In the end Maggie had won out which is why she was now wearing what she was.

Hady smoothed a hand down the front of her blue and black dress as she stepped out into the bright sunshine of her backyard. Hazel eyes scanned the entire yard taking in every tiny little detail from the tables holding the food and drinks to the balloons and even the rafts floating across the water inside the pool. All appeared to be in place and she couldn't help but grin over her shoulder towards Maggie. They had done an awesome job. Now all that had to be done was her keeping her cool and waiting for the first of their friends to arrive. Oh and of course for her to not break her ankle in these darn shoes that she just HAD to wear.

Quietly taking a slowly walk around the pool just to make sure once again Hady couldn't keep herself from humming the song that was playing from somewhere in the yard under her breath. There was no reason to not be in a great mood.

Who would show up first?

It was one of his little sister's birthday and Adi was not going to miss her birthday party for the world. Nope, nope! He had instantly accepted the invitation when he had gotten one. So here he was, dressed casually, his swimming attire under. He was ready to have a fun time in the pool and the food. Yes, fooooood! One could never forget about the delicious things.

"HADY!" Adi spotted her upon arriving almost instantly. He hurried over to her to sweep her into a big hug, the huge gift bag dangling in his left hand which had been magically enhanced on the inside to make all the gifts fit. Yep! He had gotten her gifts. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!'' He pulled back to kiss her cheek. "I've got you a little something. Hope you like them.'' Adi knew that Hady loved fluffy toys and butterflies even though he had also gotten her a bear covered with the batman logo. That was a special one as it should remind Hady of him more than any other of the toys. "I hope they're fluffy enough,'' he teased as he held out the gift bag.

In the meanwhile... look! FOOD! Hehe.

Dante had arrived. He had a fun time at his family i guess you can call it reunion. Though it was more of a big birthday party for his grandfather and only family were allowed. Still, Not like he would miss this. Hady's birthday party and Maggie had even planned it. Something she was really proud of when the talked about it last. He had his board shorts on underneath and basically that was all he brought. Besides some drinks of course and a gift. He planned on staying the night anyway. Since this was a birthday party after all. Though he was happy he was not the first. That honored belonged to Graduated Adi Rehman. Can't call him Prefect any longer.

Shame.

He leisurely walked on over to Hady once it looked like Adi was going to bolt for the food.

"Hady, I would not have missed this for...almost anything." He smiled since he was only kidding. Maggie would probably start the not talking thing again if he did miss this.

"Happy Birthday!"

He said giving her a hug.

Austin walked around to the backyard, present in hand. He had met Hady last term and they got along pretty well. They even rode in the same cart on the way home. The fifth year was actually pretty surprised when he recieved an inventation before they parted ways. He hadn't been to a friend's party in years. In fact, the teen wasn't even sure he had many friends. He tended to keep to himself. But nonetheless, he was glad he had made one friend.

"Hey there Hady!" He said with a smile. He seemed to be early, since only a few others had arrived. "Austin Moore." He flashed a grin towards a Ravenclaw he knew (Adi) but couldn't pin point a name.

The boy looked around at the yard. It looked amazing. There was a huge pool, and the tables had enough food to feed the entire Ravenclaw and Slytherin houses combined. Which was good, since Austin hadn't eaten much today. He was so nervous about meeting new people, that it made his stomach upset. It calmed down when he found familiar faces.

"Also, Happy Birthday." He handed a poorly wrapped gift to The Birthday Girl.

Henric had arrived at the address. Cool house. Big! Fancy too... Now where were his people at? He walked around to the backyard and looked for the birthday girl. He saw her already greeting her friends.

"Hey Hady, happy birthday! Thanks for the invite," he grinned. He handed her his present too, a box of delicious bakery goodness covered in elaborated in colourful decorations . "Hope you like it, there's different assortment of cupcakes in there...made them myself,"he smiled. Yes, he had help making them but the idea was all his. "How was your summer? Brilliant pool party, I must say."

He noticed some of his schoolmates were there too! Including Dante and Austin. "Hey guys! Yo Adi, glad to see you here! How have you guys been?" The ex-Hufflepuff prefect was looking extra cool with the iron maiden shirt. Nice!

Soooooooo it was Hady's birthday party and Hugo was here ready for everything. Yup.

He thought he was arriving too early but when entering the room he realized he wasn't. Good. Before he could go and greet everyone else, he went straight towards the birthday girl. "Look at you Hady all dressed up" for whoo? "Is he coming?" he whispered so only she could hear it and yeah he meant Frankie, the boy she likes or used to like. Whatever. "And happy birthday!" said and gave her a hug, he had gotten her a present too.

The place was cool and there was lots of food. THANKS MERLIN. There were only boys at the moment, the former Hufflepuff prefect, Dante and two other schoolmates. "What's up guys?" greeted and turned to Dante "Ready to take off your shirt for the girls?"

Arriving at the house, Brooklyn hardly expected to be early. She knew that Hady would trust that if she’d said she’d be there, she would. Therefore, she wasn’t nervous at all as she’d made her way toward the backyard, even as she’d noted at least one of the other people who were there. Well, that was one person she wasn’t planning on dealing with unless she had to. She figured it wouldn’t be required, unless the former Hufflepuff felt the need to bother her. She didn’t have to instigate anything.

Instead, she kept walking, over to where the birthday girl was, with Maggie and the others who had arrived before her. “Happy birthday!,” she said simply, giving Hady a smile. She still didn’t do hugs. She gave Dante, Hugo and the few others who hadn’t gotten on her bad side a smile as well, however. There wasn’t any reason not to play nice. If anything, there were distractions if she needed them. Like the pool. She had a swimsuit on underneath her dress, after all. Everything else was stowed away for later.

Barely able to make it halfway around the edge of the pool Hady was suddenly swept up in a huge hug! There wasn't even a need a look up into the face of the person who's arms were around her middle. She knew the hug anywhere for it belonged to her big brother of course. Sliding her arms around him she gave him a tight squeeze. "Adi!," she replied happily having missed him a bunch already. "Thanks," Hady answered the kiss to the cheek earning the Puffer yet another one of her smiles. The mention of the gift being 'fluffy enough' certainly got her attention causing her to raise an eyebrow as she accepted the very large gift bag from Adi peering inside of it. If she was one to squeal she would've but that wasn't her type. Instead she smiled brightly tugging the batman bear from the bag first since it was on top and clutching it tightly to her chest even as she hugged the older boy again before he could get away. This would certainly make her remember him and each one would be having a special spot in her room. "Thanks Adi, it's perfect." SO FLUFFY!

Out of the corner of her hazel eyes Hady was able to see Dante arrive as she was hugging Adi. It was easier to greet people when they came one at a time but it was alright she didn't mind this in the least and smiled at Dante laughing quietly at his comment even. "Maggie would've kicked your butt if you didn't show up." The blonde probably would've too! Heck it was Hady's own party and Maggie wouldn't even let her wear what she wanted to all was good though. "Thanks," the small brunette replied hugging him in return.

Seeing Austin walking towards them made Hady grin. He had decided to come. That was awesome all in itself. She knew he wasn't very talkative but the few times they had spoken over the last year or so had been nice which was why she invited him. Plus maybe it would help him make a few more friends. "Hey Austin, glad you could come! You know Dante and Adi, right?" she greeted with a smile and a gesture towards both the other boys. If he didn't he would know them now. Taking the gift off of him with a warm smile she glanced at the grabbing and knew that he probably wrapped it himself not all that badly either for a guy. Carefully peeling back the paper over the gift to show the beautiful present underneath she glanced up at him and grinned. "Thank you, this will certainly come in handy. How'd you know I liked green?" A good guess or was it because she was a snake? Either way she really liked the gift.

"Hey Henric, thanks for coming!" she greeted sending the slightly older boy her usual grin. Even though she wasn't very close with him she knew how close he was with Adi so she knew right away that she'd be inviting him as well. Today was more then just her party it was a day for them all to be friends outside of Hogwarts. Cupcakes?! A brilliant gift right there if she said so herself! Carefully taking the box of cupcakes from him she looked at them with a smile before glancing back at him. "You made these? I didn't know you could bake." This wasn't meant as anything other then well, probably a compliment really. She might not even share these ones. Lol. Yeah, she probably would but not right now. They looked to pretty to be eaten just then.

Hugo. Of course he had to be the one mentioning her uh different clothing assortment for the day. Hady laughed nodding her head. "Yeah, yeah shush. It's not exactly what I wanted to wear but more what was my second choice...since Maggie threatened to dragged me back inside if I dared to wear what I wanted to." Hady glanced over towards Maggie and smirked. Yes, yes she owned today's fashion style to none other then her fellow snakette. Hearing what else he had to say she let her voice drop a bit as well while giving him a return hug, "Mhmm, he should be here soon."

Finally! Brooklyn was here and she was the first girl other then herself and Maggie whom had been here long before all the others to arrive. "Thanks Brooklyn! Glad you could make it," Hady smiled at her. No hug here. It wasn't needed for Brooklyn. Her fellow snake liked to keep things simple and she was more then fine with all that.

A quick scan of the yard proved that there was no one else as of this very moment that Hady needed to greet. So quickly slipping away from the small group for just a moment she laid her received gifts down on a table so she wouldn't have to carry them around. Well alright she laid everything down except for the Batman bear from Adi. That was still being clutched in her arms and she wasn't putting him down just yet...might even name him Adi. Turning back towards everyone she grinned at them, "Alright so if anyone hungry feel free to help yourselves, anyone staying the night or who brought anything else you can set it down over there," she lightly waved a hand towards a special table out of the way of everything else for now, "And those ready to swim can do that too." As for her she would wait a little longer to greet the others before hitting the pool.

Yoongi had been surprised when he had gotten Hady's invitation for her birthday party over the summer. Pleased though as it was his first party to attend after coming to Hogwarts.

Arriving at the party, dressed in a light pink shirt and blue jeans, the Gryffindor walked to the back of the house and was glad that he wasn't the first one there. That would have been awkward. "HEEEEY EVERYONE~!" He called out loudly as he didn't want to say hello to everyone individually. Too much time. He adjusted the fake glasses cause it was all for style you know? and looked around for the birthday girl. Spotting her, he grinned as he walked in her direction.

"Hady!" he called, waving his free hand cause the other he held a basket. "Happy birthday! My present for you is....me!" he laughed. "No but serious, here" and he held out the wrapped basket in front of her. "It's iced coffee" he said with a smile. "I heard you like that" she did right?! Gulpin' Gargoyles what if he gave something she didn't like?! Distraction...he needed one.

"Nice decorations" good one Yoongi!

Maggie was proud.

Like a mother sending off her child the first day of school. So proud. Hady's outfit was on point. It made her look pretty despite the fact that she was, well, short. Eventually she'd even managed to convince her friend to wear a dress. Not that she'd given the fellow Slytherin a choice. There was literally no way she would've allowed her to wear anything BUT a dress.

And yes, she might've done something extreme if Hady hadn't listened to her.

As it were though, all was well.

Maggie smirked back at the birthday girl but didn't really get to say anything seeing as it was right then that the first people started to arrive. Naturally this party was about Hady (or at least it was supposed to be) so Maggie stayed where she was leaning against the doorframe, just watching the others.

....okay. No. It was mostly because she expected people to come TO her.

Which was why she simply smiled at the guests but didn't really do anything else. Except for holding out her hand towards Dante when he arrived, expecting him to come greet her too. And just be there next to her. Hugo could come too. Maggie smiled back at Hady all too sweetly when she shared their earlier conversation. "You do appreciate the dress, though, right?" This was primarily directed at Hugo but she then allowed her eyes to briefly rest on each of the boys' faces.

It was appreciated, yes? Yes.

The fact that Brooklyn was here too was just....well, it apparently couldn't have been avoided. Oh well. She would have to deal. It wasn't like she HATED the girl or anything. She just...didn't really care for her. Nonetheless, Maggie nodded at her in greeting. Which was technically more than most of the boys had gotten so far. So, there, she was being nice.

......and who was this (Yoongi)?

Austin really wasn't ready to swim. But he was hungry, and he was planning on staying the night. As always the boy had his trusty messenger bag slung around his shoulder, and it really clashed with his outfit. Normally he wouldn't care about things like that. But today it was seriously bothering him.

So after a "You're welcome", and a few "Hello's", Austin placed his bag on the table. Now that that catastrophe was over, there was the matter of food. There were things that he knew, such as cauldron cakes and sausages, but there were other things too. Food he had never seen before. There were some that looked like meat, but had a darker color (wings). That was something he needed to try. So he grabbed a plate and began filling it up with food, both muggle and wizarding.

He had made his way over earlier than the invitation stated. Partly because he was playing the role of supportive boyfriend to the party planner, but also partly because he had nothing better to do that morning, and so hanging out with the birthday girl didn't seem such a bad idea. As it was, it had been a pleasant start to the day.

After making a pit-stop to the loo, Zeke walked back through to where the party goers were congregating.

Food. He heard Hady mention food and he was ready to dig in. Dying to dig in.

Placing his hands around Maggie's waist as she leant against the doorframe, Zeke gave her a quick kiss on her temple before letting go and squeezing past her. The other Slytherin's in the vicinity (Dante, Hugo, Brooklyn too) received a smile and nod in greeting for now. He'd be back.

"Hey," he greeted Yoongi with a quick wave as he continued his path to the food table. He could do with a slice of pizza, really he could. STARVING. "Did you need anything?" he asked the birthday girl before continuing. Drink? Food? Something else?

Lux hoped that she wasn't running late!

She had fallen a little behind schedule because it took a little while to figure out what to wear, but in the end she had worked it out. She had even remembered to wear her bathing suit underneath her clothes so that she wouldn't miss out on spending time in the pool.

Driving up to Hady's place, she grabbed her friend's present before making her way over to where everyone was assembled. "Hello, everyone!" she said as she saw her friends. It was so good to see everyone again, and she was so up for socializing. First things first though, she was going to see her Little Snakette Sis!

Wandering over to her friend, she pulled her into a hug. "Happy birthday!" She wouldn't have missed Hady's party for the world.

The wait didn't take long at all before a few more people began to show up. Hady heard the voice long before she say the face attached to it. Laughing softly she made her way over to Yoongi meeting him halfway. They didn't know one another to long really but they had worked on an homework assignment last term AND she was trying to help him with a very special charm. "Yoongi! Thanks for coming!," she greeted with a small laugh at his comment. Her eyes turned to the basket that was being held out towards her a small grin tugging at the corners of her mouth. COFFEE! The lion had gotten her coffee. She was set now that was it. Cuddly stuffies, cupcakes and coffee. What more did a girl need? "I do! Very much actually it's my go to drink...like all the time." So much so she was hardly able to function without it a few terms back until she managed to learn the proper spellwork to change drinks into the stuff. "Oh thanks, Maggie helped me with everything."

Speaking of the blonde Hady glanced around for her friend. Spotting her she sent another grin that way. If it weren't for her this might not have happened since she herself was horrible with party planning. Together though they had made it happen and so far it was wonderful. Hady laughed when Maggie asked Hugo if the dress was appreciated. Really it wasn't so bad and she didn't care what anyone thought of it...okay so many she did...but that person had yet to arrive. "They don't have to appreciate it. Others might though." She smirked innocently glancing around once more to make sure she hadn't missed anyone arriving.

With a small smile sent Austin's way she watched as he headed for the food. That's when she realized something. Some of her friends might not have any idea what some of the items on the tables were. Oh well. Maybe it was best for them to just give the food and drinks a chance before knowing what any of it was. That was how it usually was with her, if she knew what something was and didn't like the sound of it she wouldn't eat it.

Wait a second. One look around the yard. Another look. Where was- Ah there he was! Hady knew Zeke was here as he arrived some time ago which hadn't been a problem at all. Seeing him with Maggie just made her smile lightly. Those two together wasn't something she would've ever guessed but seeing them now was like they were supposed to together. Of course though her buddy went straight for the food the moment she told everyone to eat. Laughing quietly to herself she shook her head at his question, "Nope I'm good, thanks for asking though!" Hady gave the basket of Iced Coffee she was holding a small shake. See completely set right here!

"Lux!," Hady called out rushing towards the older girl she hadn't seen in a little while and wrapping her up in a hug at the same time Lux did the same to her. "Thank you! How are you? Did you find the house okay?" She had to make sure of these things. Couldn't have anyone getting lost of anything.

Whoops. She was late, but that was the story of her life. AJ didn't do these sort of things on purpose... it just happened.

Anyways...

The party don't start 'till I walk in, she thought to herself. The brunette made her way to the address on the invitation she was given. Whoa, baby! Hady had a nice place. It was pretty wicked. LOOK AT THE POOL.

Oh, right... people. She needed to do the whole social butterfly thing which is something that she loved to do, but POOL, and food. How was a girl to concentrate? "Sup party people?" This was easier than saying hi to everybody individually.

There was the birthday girl herself. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HADY," she exclaimed with extreme enthusiasm. "I have something for your party." Did anybody notice the huge thing she had been dragging behind her this entire time?

AJ handed the pinata over and beamed at her slightly younger friend. "He's fully stuffed and ready to be whacked." Did she love it?

Angel had arrived with her sister and it seemed that they were late, how bad was this. She was really embarrassed about coming late, but stuff had happened and now she was scared about what Hady would think about them being late.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Angel smiled, might as well apologise to Hady straight away right. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Angel handed Hady a small packet that contains a little necklace, she had been trying to figure out what her friend had said in the carriage on the way home but she had forgotten so she had got her friend the necklace instead.

Even though he had been invited to Hady's birthday party ages ago, that still didn't prevent Frankie from arriving late. His tardiness would not come as a surprise to anyone who knew anything about him. So the blond went about his day at his own pace, which consisted of him sleeping in a bit later than he should have. Not that anyone needed to know that. Ahem. But he was there now. That was all that mattered, right?

Making his way from the house to the yard, his eyes were immediately in search of the birthday girl. Though finding her amongst everyone else was proving to be quite the challenge, so he also kept his eyes peeled for Maggie and Zeke as well. Maggie meant that Hady wouldn't be too far away, and Zeke meant finding Maggie who would lead him directly to Hady. He nodded his head at those he passed by and gave Brooklyn a grin. It looked like someone needed to be tossed into the pool...

Finding the birthday girl, however, was his priority at the moment. There was just so much going on and so many people were roaming about, making it difficult to seek her out. But eventually he did find Maggie, not that she was ever a difficult one to find in a crowd. Sneaking up beside her, Frankie murmured, "Maggie." There was a brief pause, during which the boy reached in one of his pockets for a green box. "So where'd the birthday girl run off to?" He had a present to give and everything.

”Of course,” Brooklyn replied, as Hady had thanked her for coming. She hadn’t been about to decline the invitation. Not when it was Hady who was important, at least until it was her own birthday. Although she hadn’t exactly planned anything for that. People were supposed to do that for her. It wasn’t her job to plan her own events, even if she’d put her own stamp on it all.

Surprisingly, she actually could say she knew more people there than she’d expected to, not counting knowing certain former prefects she was still ignoring/pretending weren’t there. They weren’t even just Slytherins, or Zeke, as the Gryffindor had arrived. She’d given him a nod in return to his silent greeting, though. Even as her blue eyes had gone to Yoongi, wondering if he remembered the time they’d talked on the bridge. She still hadn’t quite made up her mind on what she thought of that Gryffindor, even if most others she knew she had pegged. At least, she knew where they fit in to her little mental canon she had.

The nod she had gotten from Maggie was even more of a surprise, even if it could likely have counted as a response to her own. Their relationship had gotten maybe a bit more civil, or at least they knew they could work together when they had to, but she still felt undecided about her as well, like there was some sort of competitiveness there. Even if she hardly felt threatened by Maggie having a boyfriend. She didn’t need a boy to feel complete. She was just as comfortable having all her power all by herself.

She had been heading over to drop her things over at the table indicated by Hady for the purpose of storing them when yet another Gryffindor she knew had arrived. Fashionably late, of course, and she raised an eyebrow at the grin Frankie gave her. She knew he had something planned. She also knew she wasn’t about to make it easy for him.

Ooohhhh lookit who it was! Two of her favorite triplets! Wait. Two. Where was Abby? Hady glanced around he yard once more checking to see if maybe she had stopped to say hi to someone else first but she still didn't see her anywhere. Strange. Perhaps she was running just a little behind on time then her sisters. Anyhow she'd ask in a little while if she didn't show up.

Meeting the two slightly older girls halfway she pulled them both into a hug. After having set down the basket of coffee first though. Couldn't have it getting dropped or nothing. "Thanks girls! I'm glad you both made it and no worries you're not late at all everyone just eating so you two can jump right in and help yourselves if you're hungry." She smiled and waved a hand at the tables of food and then the pool too. Taking the box from Angel she carefully unwrapped it to find the necklace inside. "Oh, thank you Angel it's lovely!" It was and she would certainly be having her father cast an unbreakable charm on it later that day she so could wear it without fear of losing it in the pool or something. Her eyes shifted then to what AJ had been dragging along and she couldn't help but laugh. "Nice AJ! Very very nice we'll have to make sure to hang her up somewhere soon!" Cause who didn't like a giant unicorn pinata? No one that's who!

Her grin didn't waver at all as people kept arriving one after the other and greeting her. Each got the same smile, grin or slight smirk. Some even granted a hug if she knew them well enough or if they had hugged her. Other didn't need anything but a simple nod of her head and that was good too. Hady smiled once more at Brooklyn watching her go to put her things aside. Okay this was working out as planned so far. Everyone was either talking to someone, sorting their belongings or going to eat.

How she had missed Frankie of all people arrive was probably a mystery in itself. He was the one she had maybe sort of been keeping an eye out for. Strangely enough she hadn't spotted him probably due to the fact that she had her back to the doorway where Maggie was when she had greeted AJ and Angel near the pool. It was also possibly that even though she had grown two whole inches so far this summer AND was wearing sandals that had a slight heel she was still shorter then everyone there.

Adi was been given a squishy hug in return. This pleased him. "I know we haven't been apart THAT long but I missed you, Hades! Eating those frogs with you and all. But we can get to eat them now, right?" Just look at the entire spread of Froggies over there! Hady knew how to throw a party! He watched for her reaction. Adi grinned some more when she hugged the bear and gave him another one too. Of course he himself had taken his time to go to hunting. Hehe. It had been fun picking them out. Hady liked them? WOOOOT! "I'm glad you do! So Hades, how about we eat some of those Frogs for old time's sake?'' Wasn't he forgetting something? Oh YEAH! "Benny's running late but he should be here soon.''

More guests were arriving and the recent graduate was super duper pleased to see that it were so many familiar faces. He grinned at Dante as he move towards the food and waved to Austin. "Heyyy, Austin!'' Oh! And there was his awesome Puff buddy! "Henny!'' How about a bro hug? Adi gave him one. "How's it going, dude?''

Then there was Brooklyn, Yoongi, Zeke, AJ (they got a cheery 'hello' each) and LUX! "Mermaiiiiid!'' Adi said in a sing song voice. "Hey!''

Maggie was still eying ALL THE BOYS at this party, waiting for them to compliment Hady's dress. Like. It was special no? They had to know that. And by complimenting the dress they vicariously complimented Maggie. So, that was why she was watching them. Still with a casual smile on her lips. Waiting for those compliments though.

Chop chop!

WAS THAT A UNICORN PIÑATA THOUGH?? Maggie's eyes were locked on the present Hady had just received when someone touched her waist. Oh. Hi. Looking up she grinned at Zeke, although he was already walking off again. Rude. Especially since he ditched her for Hady. More rude. Double rude. Not that she let that show, obviously. She just kind of stared at his back for a second.

Also, just FYI, if she had known Brooklyn wasn't bothered by her having a boyfriend, Maggie would've been quite disappointed.

Like, what was the point then?

Just kidding.

Sort of.

Deciding that she was going to simply observe for now until something interesting happened, Maggie jumped a little when she suddenly heard a voice beside her. "Hey!" Ooh. It was Frankie. And he was talking to her. And he was HERE! She grinned at him. "She's....over there." She nodded towards the pool where Hady was standing.

"I'll take you!" Yes. Because he needed someone to guide him. Before waiting for an answer, Maggie simply took his arm, grinned at him again and then started walking towards Hady. "What did you get her?" She whispered, leaning in a little to make sure nobody overheard.

Eureka wasn't very familiar with Hady, but when the invitation reached her while she was sulking in her room along she was more than happy to accept it. Her entire year would be there, including Dante and Maddie and Maggie, so maybe she'd forget a little bit that her grandfather was in confinement and forgetting their existence.

Putting on a light dress, the soon-to-be fifteen years old made her way out where the party was supposed to be and lingered at the entrance. She was bound to spot some-- oh! Yes, there they were. "Hi," she addressed Hady, who seemed pretty busy. "Happy Birthday. I got you this," she handed her a wrapped up small button to her and Dante's Pro-Creatures club at Hogwarts. And because that didn't count as a real present to some people (pft), she handed her another wrapped box with a little something inside.

But also, Erureka's eyes were trying to stick to Dante and anyone else who was familiar. She didn't want to sit aside alone.

She was fine, she had... coffee, of course she did. Merlin help them all if she decided to get stuck into them now. Zeke shook his head at Hady, a smile evident on his lips before he continued on his way.

The foooooooooood table, was grand, but it didn't take him long to know what he wanted. Pizza. And a cauldron cake. He stuck the cake in his pocket before grabbing a slice. With his free hand, he also grabbed a handful of veggie stuff, carrot sticks, celery and all of those. Mmm.

"Hey, hey!" he greeted AJ and Angel as he started making his way back through the throng of people. "Neat piñata," he complimented, flashing them all a smile before excusing himself. He had food to eat after all.

Biting off the corner, Zeke was enjoying his meal when Adi greeted him. Mouth full, he couldn't exactly reply with words, cause... spitting food was never a good look, but what he did do was wave. YO. It was at this point though that he realised Maggie was no longer standing by the door. He glanced over the faces that were nearby, and did a semi-twirl on the spot until he caught sight of his beautiful blonde, with Frankie. DUDE WAS HERE!

Resuming his grinning, and his pizza eating, Zeke fell into step beside his girlfriend, his head leaning in close to hers so he could hear the exchange. What'd he get the birthday girl, huh?

Hady was right. He did not want to think about what would happen if he did not make this party and just stayed home with his family. It would probably have gone worse than what weirdly happen this past term with them not talking for a while. Dante had no idea and did not want to dwell on the past so he just forgotten about it and really not cared. Shrug. He still had to give Hady her present. "You are more right than you know and before i forget and have to give this to you next year. Here is your present" Dante said smiling and gave her a wrapped box containing this.

He slithered away so she could deal with all her other guests he guessed is the right word and merlin more and more people were showing up by the minute. There was a ravenclaw his year that he did not know that well. Dante just gave him a nod. Then there was that nice hufflepuff. Though all hufflepuffs are nice so yeah. Dante always forgot his name but it began with an H. Ah Henric, Hady just said it. He did somehow ended up his his restaurant with hi Dad earlier this summer which was just weird and awesome.

"How was being a waiter going Henric. Sounds dull"

Hugo, please. They should all be ready to take off there shirts to impress the girls here. Even the ones with girlfriends here. Though Zeke should be showing up soon. Since this was Maggie's idea part whatever.
