"Everything's fine, Iseult. It's just a nice time for people who want to make friends. You can do it! Everything is fine!!"

She closes her eyes, a hand resting on her chest to calm down.

The invitation to the exhibition lies on the dresser as Kasten adjusts his cuff links. Not the least bit ruffled, he dresses as he usually does, albeit this time with the silk brocade waistcoat and the long black woollen jacket, embellished with a single square of gold silk. He pulls on his usual black kid gloves, and pushes up his gold rimmed spectacles before he reaches for his greatcoat, that he has accessorised with a single pin of the Proudmoore anchor. It is a hint to where he is from: a potential conversation starter at these social events, that he is used to.

Stepping outside his front door, leaving Janet to lock up behind him, he casts a glance at the address on the card a final time, before performing the teleportation spell to take him to the venue of the exhibition, the entrance of where he will be waiting for Iseult.

 A hostage situation in the Lower Alleys where Scar and Co., or potentially Voldemort supporters take a bunch of alley kids hostage. Harry, despite not looking or being quite so young anymore, was a known figure that was important to the King, and it fit with their MO. Jason, Cora, Margo, Jack, and others, perhaps the Bottings? all being kept somewhere in the meantime

Leo went to Count Aurel, and Kasten immediately offered to help, to everyone’s surprise. Gavril and Irena were also a surprise, but they were more active in the community than Kasten. Kasten really went off the chain, relatively, and Leo wasn’t sure what to make of his offer, he took it of course, but wondered how Harry had three vampires willing to risk a rescue attempt. (hint: everyone loves Harry)

Harry does her best to protect the kiddos, and the kidnappers took her wand (unsurprisingly, she was to only hostage to have one) and her potions kit (NOOOOOOOOO *darth vader scream*). She knew she had her magic, and her brains. Jack and Margo were fast, Cora was nimble, but she didn’t know much more about the other kids, and with so many to protect, she wasn’t willing to take any risks. She sat in the middle of the kids, and they were all hanging onto her in some way. Cora and Margo were sharing her lap.

Me: You're so attractive *playing with Fiancé's beard* Like Jensen Ackles, only you're hotter in my eyes.

Fiancé: Yeah right!

Me: It's true, I love you more.

Fiancé: Oh really? *stares into my eyes* so you're saying if Jensen was single and asked you to spend on night with him you'd say no?

Me: *trying not to smile* Of course not. I've only been with you, you're the only man I want to be with.

Fiancé: *smirking* oh yeah you're sure about that?

Me: Yes!

Fiancé: *leans in and kisses me* your conscience is say no, but your vagina is screaming yes isn't it?
