Maxwell looked at Ariana. "It's nothing, I was just joking about you possibly being mad about something, Don't worry your pretty little birthday girl head about it." He said with a little laugh.

Maxwell's face lit up with delight seeing her so excited about New York. "Yes, we'll do all of it. We'll see a show and walk through the park as long as the snow isn't too bad...it's not too hard to get lost there." He said laughing a little. "And even see the parade if you want, I love all the Christmas stuff so i don't care how touristy it is, if you wanna do it i'll be more than happy to." He said hugging her a little, he was excited she was for the city.

"Blahh Stupid rules! i would ask millie but she'd tell me to stop being a baby plus she's with rowan." she said making rowan's name sound dumb
"suree whatever you say max."

Justin listened as he stood there next to her. He hadn't seen this side to Ariana before.

Rowan chuckled, "Either you forgot about it or you're really excited." He smiled kindly at her.

Rowan gave a kind nod to Tay... Wait, Taylor was with Damon... Was that Minerva? He shook his head, he'd have to catch up of teen romances later.
Damon walked up to his brother and Millie, "I haven't gotten a chance to tell you both congrats." He smiled at the two of them, seeing Rowan's doubt he sighed, "I'm serious Ro, getting engaged is great. I just hope Millie knows what she's getting into."

Ariana put her arm around Justin and kissed his cheek.

"oh i think i know what im getting into." she said hanging onto rowans side. "Thank you Damon."

Minerva couldn't believe they might be taking a trip there. "Well maybe we could hit jersey while we are there as well. Se the Giants Stadium, what do you think?" She knew that he liked the Giants and why not go see the stadium while they were that close. "Could we see the parade, that would be so great." She bounced a bit clapping her hands then stopped embarrassed "Sorry"

Maxwell's smile grew when she mentioned Giants Stadium. "What do I think? I think you're the coolest girl i've ever met!" He said giving her a kiss. "Of course we'll see the parade, it'll be fun." He said ignoring her saying sorry since there was no need for it.

"Of course you did..." Rowan chuckled, "Need any help?"
Damon shook his head, "Did you forget who was responsible for me breaking my leg over the summer?"
"Cut it out you little brat... What're doing here anyways? Puck told me you and Ariana weren't getting along."
"And the same goes for two other people here..." He sighed, "But Puck made it clear I needed to be here for the family..."

"you two play nice!" she said to damon and Rowan "today is not a day for you two to go at at, it's Arianas day please." she begged them. She Iced the cake with magic. 'Let's go the the back room ro and let the kids be for a while." she said holding his hand

This is for everyone...
 

Minerva laughed, "You just keep thinking that, it might come in handy one day when I screw up, but I would love to see the stadium with you. It's your team so why not." She leaned in and kissed him back. Smiled as she moved away again, "This Christmas is looking up."

Minerva then looked around, but this party is not... She stood up and turned to face Maxwell leaning down she kissed him again, "Time to get this party moving a bit." She winked at him and then walked into the center of the room. "Anyone care for a game of Truth or Dare, or even spin the bottle?" She knew they were muggle games, but they were still fun muggle games, so why not play them.

Maxwell grinned and kissed her back. "I'm up for truth or dare, I'm not so sure about spin the bottle though.." He said thinking there were people he didn't want to kiss and people he didn't want kissing his girl, in the room...

Ariana looked at Justin then everyone else in the room "Yes! I'm Bored! birthday girl cant be bored."

" I'm up for anything! " Said Justin. He did love a good party Hufflepuffs were the best at party planning and execution.... Minerva and he had put on their fair share in their common room over the past couple years.

"Finally some fun!" Ariana said as she sat down in a chair.

"Of course we can dear." Rowan smiled, leading the way.
Damon sat down next to Taylor, "I suppose..." He chuckled nervously, he'd never played either... like that's a huge shocker.

" Well then let's get this party started! " Justin said excitedly.

Maxwell sighed very silently... 'I don't see this going well..' He thought.

Ariana clapped her hands together "yay! Now which do we play How about Truth or Dare?" she asked everyone

Millie followed rowan back to the room to give the kids some privacy but before doing so she stopped by the living room "Hey now! You Kids be nice, And not THAT nice." she said pointed at all the couples in the room. and left down the hall

Minerva smiled very innocently to Millie "Oh we will be nice, I promise." Once the adults, if you could call Rowan an adult were out of the room, she turned to the group. "Okay, truth or day sounds good. Does everyone know how to play?" She looked around and decided to tell them anyway. "You ask a person truth or dare, and that person has to decided which one they want. If they say truth, you ask them a question and they answer honestly, if they say dare, then they have to do whatever you tell them too." Minerva had a playful grin across her lips. She looked at the group, this might get interesting.. She looked at Ariana and smiled "Ariana, Truth or dare?"

Rowan nodded in agreement, "Please do behave." He sighed as he and Millie walked down the hallway.
Damon looked around the group rather nervous, he didn't see this going over well for any of them, with his luck someone would dare him to do something stupid, so maybe he'd just stick with truths? He didn't know...

Maxwell let out a small sigh of relief when he learned they weren't playing spin the bottle. So long as no one asked him anything to start trouble he should be fine...

Ariana looked a bit shocked when she picked her "ohh uhmmmmmm truth." she said looking at everyone. " got to start easy." she said with a shrug

Minerva thought for a few seconds, now what to ask her... Hmm she struggled with a question, but then gave a big smile "Have you ever thought about kissing anyone in this room other then Justin?" Oh yeah let's start out with people getting uncomfortable she laughed.
