Now that all the planning, decorating, and preparing was out of the way, Mary was able to just sit back and enjoy her handiwork. Being able to charm the punch bowl to be never ending, the snacks to be ever replenishing, and the decorations to stay up with so much as a tack were just a few ways magic made her life easier. She and Lily could have spent hours do everything by hand, but why bother when a wave of the wand would solve the problem. It gave her ample time to get ready, pregame, and relax as people started to flood in. The common room was crowded with people, but the atmosphere was relaxed, upbeat, and pulsing with energy. It didnât take her long to see the familiar face she had been waiting form.
As Marlene came into the common room, Maryâs grinned brightened. The people closest to her knew that any time she got to spend with her friends was time she valued above all else. Sure, this party was absolutely for everyone, but it also was for her. Being able to let loose with her closest friends was something she was beyond looking forward to. Taking another drink into her hands, she shimmied her way through the crowd to find her favorite Hufflepuff, âMarls! You made itâ she half shouted before she got closer. Offering her one of the drinks, Mary grinned, âIâm so happy youâre here! Look at you, youâre killing it tonightâ.Â

Parties, Gryffindor parties especially, were loud and busy and so many people were all so packed together. For Marlene this made them part exhilarating, part exhausting. And even with an already exhausting first week back (getting back into school, and speculating and worrying about Addison had rather taken it out of her), she had actually been looking forward to this. So many of her friends were in Gryffindor, and the chance to have a fun night with all of themÂ
She hadnât been in the Gryffindor room too long before she caught sight of Mary. As Marlene was still trying to figure the best and easiest way through the crowd her friend was already on her way over with another drink, âHi!â He smiled, accepting the drink, âMe? Oh come on, look at you, you look incredible! And itâs amazing in here! You did such a good job, Mary!âÂ
