*Snorts* Mending his ways? He probably couldn't find his way without someone else leading him, maybe leaving a trail of Galleons in their wake as well. *Shrugs* No matter, good or not I still don't trust him. *Watches Baron, still eating, and wishes he was back at the Burrow. No doubt whatever Molly's cooking would be better than the food served here. Well, at least he'd have an idea of what would be in his food...* *Covers his mouth with his hand to respond.* Good on you Arthur, let him prove his worth to us before we take his word on it. *Pats Arthur's arm.* In the meantime, why not help yourself to some of his fancy pants refreshments. It's a start in the right direction.

*her smile to the Auror is cool, obviously she didn't enjoy his joke either.* How is my niece, Mr. Bonobo? You're keeping her safe, yes? *turns her pale eyes away from him, gazing out into the garden of guests, forcing polite conversation with the wizard.* *His cheeks remained slightly flushed.* Well, actually we have just recently allowed her back to school. *An explanation was probably required.* No further attempts on her have been made, and the Death Eaters have been fairly quiet lately so I felt that it was time to let her go. She seemed awfully upset about being kept away from school anyway. It was good to get her back. *He takes a sip as he thinks of what else to say.* She's always welcome in my office should she need anything.

*chuckles under his breath as Astoria escapes his attentions, eyes still on her as Parkinson speaks to him*
Nicely observed Parky, but you're wrong. I'm actually partial to older women. Anyway, I think she only has eyes for a certain someone.
*Glances around at the delectable older women among the party guests and smiles to himself* Mm. *looks down at Pansy's glass*
So. More drink?

It's a start in the right direction. *Eyes widen slightly* Let him prove his worth before I take his food is more likely, Baron. *Smiles* But thank you anyways. *Pauses, looking around at everyone's drinks* Although, I might have a drink or two...do you know where to find them?

There's some house elves about with trays. Grab one of them or help yourself at the bar inside.
I think we should make the most of it, just in case he does go turncoat on us.
*Already his mind is thinking of going back to the buffet table.*

*Is slightly miffed that Blaise did not come to her first as he usually does but does not show it but instead thinks that the younger Greengrass sister is proving to be a royal pain in the neck*
So Astoria, decided to take up being a Lady of Leisure then?
*Smirks and secretly winks to Pansy*

*Sneers at Blaise for calling her by her least favourite nickname, next to "pug" from her earlier Hogwarts days. At his next comment and seeing his eyes were still lingering on Greengrass, switches her sneer to be cast upon the young girl's turned back.*
She can look, but she better not touch.
*Regains her composure. Scans casually through the party crowd.*
Older women, huh? Well hopefully for you, his fine wife will arrive shortly.
*Sniggers, nodding to Arthur Weasley.*
*Glances over to Millie who had began talking again with Greengrass. Smirks in return at the topic of conversation. Though her expression doesn't expose her thoughts, Pansy was interested in what Greengrass would say. Sure, she was of a noble family and had followed the ways of the older Slytherin girls above her, but Astoria had always struck Pansy as the type who would actually... want to... work, rather than just aspire to be a trophy wife. So, why was Astoria unemployed? Was she undecided on a career, had she really wanted to be a Lady of Leisure all along, or was she simply continuing to follow in the footsteps of Pansy and Daphne? Blinks expressionlessly, listening.*

*Smiles* Good evening, Blaise. *Curtsey* Now, what was the broom riding all about? *Raises her delicate eyebrows and looks at Draco* I knew he was going to get in trouble.
*Cocks a smile to the youngest Greengrass, then to her sister*
Malfoy, our favourite sisters are here. *slides an arm around Astoria's waist* Now now, you know better than to be asking questions. You know the story about the witch who asked too many questions.
*clinks his glass on hers before taking a sip* So. Are you still at Hogwarts?
*Returns Blaise's smile and remains silent, listening to the exchanges between her friends and sister. Giggles when Millie mentions Weasley's wife, an image of Molly in the Malfoys' garden coming to mind. That's about as likely as Draco marrying a Mudblood, she thinks. She offers Draco a smile, hoping to convey that he shouldn't be embarrassed; she's had many instances such as his with Narcissa. Arianna and Rodolphus were notorious for those things in Daphne's younger years.* *Is fully aware of the look Pansy is giving Astoria, but pretends not to notice. For the moment.*

*Astoria turns around, a small smile*
Oh I don't know, Millicent. You know I was very interested in Healing, I didn't know if I should be a Dark Healer. *But shushes them with a finger* As I told you, I don't know, so my future isn't so straight and fullest extent to me. *Blushes* I wasn't that good in Divination, one of the most important class, or it was you used to say/ *Nods, then turns back to Draco*

*Wanders amidst the rest of the guests, finishing her drink and picking up another. She watches the other Ministry workers and the young Pureblood girls, though standing nowhere near either group. She is reminded of a decision she once made... she takes a step away from the girls and toward Arthur, Kingsley, Remus, and Baron Papanoida, then stops, not wanting to interrupt their conversation. She resolves to wait for a few moments, then join them.*

*He swallows what is in his mouth.* Malfoy mentioned something about mending his ways or something or other. All well and good if its true. But that remains to be seen. *Shoves another Vol au Vent in his mouth.* *Snorts* Mending his ways? He probably couldn't find his way without someone else leading him, maybe leaving a trail of Galleons in their wake as well. *Shrugs* No matter, good or not I still don't trust him. *Watches Baron, still eating, and wishes he was back at the Burrow. No doubt whatever Molly's cooking would be better than the food served here. Well, at least he'd have an idea of what would be in his food...* (Sorry for my lateness) *Kingsley raises his eyes to the newly guests*
Arthur, Baron... I'm glad I see you two here.
*Stands up tall and shake his friends hands*
I had to come outside. Some how, is chillier inside.
*Smiles kindly*

*He wanders through the guests, keeping an eye out and becoming very agitated as to what will happen.*
*He tries to keep his composure as best he can and approaches his wife Narcissa.*
My dear love, if you wish to make yourself scarce before anything happens, it would ease my worry.

*Smiles kindly* *Eyes slide over to Kingsley as the wizard speaks up. He shakes his hand and nods as if he understands the chilly comment.* Did you really? I wouldn't doubt it. How've you been, Kings? I haven't seen you around lately. *Smiles, just trying to make friendly conversation. His head tilts back slightly as he looks up at the wizard.*
