Should I let my heart keep listening

Lucius pouted, “You’re not Celeshtia? Boooo, I want to shee her.” He raised an eyebrow at the mentioning of the punch and giggled, “Drunk?? Nooo, I’m shober! Shee? I can touch my nose and- and-…” He furrowed his brows as he tried touching his nose, but missed multiple times, hitting either his cheek, lip, or eye.

“Ok mr . i am not drunk .” she shakes her head . “are you sure you can navigate your way to her?”

Amos had accepted the spell as a night of sorts without any strings attached. Truthfully, if he messed with anything, none of the repercussions would be tossed his way. There’s no way he’d step forward, in any case. Still, he wasn’t feeling particularly rambunctious tonight. He felt more relaxed and inclined to enjoy the evening. He turned towards the closest person, his eyes quickly darting to look around them, as he took in the atmosphere. “It’s beautiful in here tonight, isn’t it? As usual, they did a wonderful job with all the decorations. It totally sets the scene for an interesting night.”

narcissa looks around. “hmm you have a point i suppose.Yes the decorations are very much on point .   ”

Lucius had drank well… way too much. He wasn’t going to be recognized anyways, and he was well past giving a shit. But he had spent the night trying to find Celestia to wish her a happy birthday and with this enchantment that was… rather difficult. The more he tried, the more frustrated he was which meant of course, the more he drank. The punch was spiked, he wasn’t surprised, and that was the main reason he needed it, being drunk was fun. But at the same time, it made him stumble and it made him quite loud. 

Pointing at one person near him he started, “You get a happy birthday,” next, “You get a happy birthday,” last, “You all get a fucking happy birthday and if one of you aren’t Celestia I’m going to lose my mind…”

“Ok first off i am not your sister ,speaking of her hopefully you will cross paths with her at somepoint tonight,  second off your drunk , and lastly did you drink  punch that was spiked  ? ” she asks. 

Sirius sucked his cheeks in. His youngest cousin didn’t speak to him much at all these days, but that didn’t mean that he was going to turn his back on her. “What’s up?” He asked carefully.

Narcissa didn’t know what to say for once in her life. “You didn’t hear “ she questions

Guy just happened to be walking by when he saw the girl of the hour. Narcissa Black. She wasn’t exactly the type of girl that he’d want to hang out with or even talk to, but no one deserved to be attacked like she had by Miss Echo. Slowly, with a look of concern, he approached her. “Hey,” he said, then paused, then said, “how are you feeling?”

Normally Narcissa was cold and snappy towards gryffindors but today she didn’t feel like being a bitch . She looks up . “I don’t know how am i feeling” it was the half truth she didn’t really know .

Though Sirius was kind of disconnected from his family, that didn’t stop him from caring about them, and that didn’t mean that he would let anyone else pick on them. When he heard the gossip going around because of the so-called ‘Miss Echo’, Sirius was outraged, mad that anyone had the nerve to say anything about the youngest Black. He found Narcissa soon after, but didn’t really know what to say. “Hey.”

She looks up to find her estranged cousin . The blonde wasn’t in a mood to be a bitch for once . “Hi” she says rather quietly . 

remus nodded, half in annoyance and half in appreciation. he really didn’t understand why narcissa was being so unnecessarily rude, until it dawned on him that she seemed to hate all of the marauders just because. “thank you. i really wouldn’t have asked you if i saw another way out, so i’m sorry to have bothered you.”

“Yeah, sure , fine whatever. Yeah i am sure”She repiles sarcastically.   Narcissa sure wasn’t in the mood to do anybody favors let alone a gryffindor’s. 

Ted bit down on his lip. If only there had been someone else who was nearby. “I–I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important. And it’s a little…time sensitive…”

“Hmm sure you wouldn’t. Time sensitive you say?” Narcissa wasn’t believing one word he was saying.

Percy startled, having not noticed the other girl. She placed a hand over her racing heart and laughed awkwardly. “Sorry, did I say that all out loud? I was just… lost, I guess? I don’t have a very good memory, I suppose. So… yeah, I get lost easily.” I’m just rambling at this point, she thought. “But, uh, what was that you said? About which way to go, I mean. I’ll have to write it down or else I’ll forget. Silly me.” She playfully knocked the side of her head and held up the notebook already in her hands as if to show the other that she did, indeed, write most everything down.

“Hogwarts trips older students as well not just first years,it easy to gret lost in this castle . i say your going the opposite direction so turn around then take a right left right another right then a left then you should be there” 

“The problem is that I’ve got somewhere very important to be–or I’ll get detention.”

“Hmm i will think about it . “ Just her luck she had to run into a muggleborn. The blonde black heiress wanted to cursed their existence . 

the minute her sister walked in, bellatrix stood up and made sure the rest of the leftover students left them alone. “now, now, cissy,” she half-cackled, “we both know you don’t have to pretend you care about first year brats with me. they were bothering me, so i made sure they knew what happens if they continued to do so.”

“Hmm maybe your right on that maybe your aren’t? ok if you say so. I am just sure you the wicked witch in their dreams i can’t help but feel sorry for them “ the blonde jokes. 

“no. that’s not how to do it,” bellatrix commented simply, without making any move to help the first year slytherin a small distance away from her to pronounce the spell better. instead, she flipped through her book absentmindedly, thinking about what a disaster her last attempt to conjure up a patronus had been. when the midget attempted to wordlessly ask her for help, she took out her wand and pointed it at him, raising a single eyebrow threateningly, daring him to take another step. he didn’t; he scurried off and left her in peace. “next?” she said mockingly. 

Narcissa walks into the common room “Well i am sure he gonna be scar for life .” she jokes “Only you scare first years let me guess you didn’t have anything better to do?” she asks

Even as the girl spoke, Gaspard kept his focus on the book in front of him. However, this didn’t mean he wasn’t listening. He was. He could just effectively do multiple things at once. After a beat, he finally spoke up. “How do you know?”

Narcissa thought for a moment , that was a good question. She didn’t want to admit she doesn’t but she has too .  “Alright i don’t know but as far as i remember not a single mine has come true “

remus had to keep himself from sighing and ruining any chance he had of narcissa passing on his message. “like i told you, i was talking about miss vance on behalf of the tutoring club. but you might not have been listening.” he’d been eyeing the club himself, but acting as a messenger boy because of his status as prefect would have to do for the time being, especially since he was just better at interacting with magical creatures than actual students.

“ It was possible i wasn’t. Ugh fine i will talk with her, but i can’t promise you anything” While Narcissa normally would brush this off and not do what was asked of her but if it got rid of the gryffindor faster she would do it .
