if she will need to send another polite smile, just one, astoria will end up screaming her throat raw. and yet, she just took a breath and walked through the crowd ; her parents are somewhere around and she knew better than making a scene ---- it would reflect not only on her but on an entire family. she saw something light from the corner of her eye and yes, there was a familiar blond. she didn’t know draco malfoy too good, but he had that face like he was trying hard to not snap or yawn and she moved quickly, hand touching lightly his arm as she smiled to his company. “ --- i’m terribly sorry for interrupting, “ she said in soft tone than made people think she is just sweet, naive girl and she wasn’t above using it when needed. astoria turned her head to blonde and nodded gently. “ draco, would you be a dear and walk me to the gardens? i would love a little company while catching a breath. “
