*Bows his head to his guests.*
Welcome Mr Shacklebolt. Make yourself at home.
*He notices Sylvan arrive and turns towards her, views her for a moment and then strolls casually towards her.*
Miss Thails. Good to see you.

*walks through the front gate of the Malfoy's home and down the path toward their ridiculously gorgeous house* *is wearing a brand new white dress she bought just for the occasion* *is trying not to wobble on her shoes as she walks up the path* *approaches the door with a deep breath, nervous, and carrying paper and quill in her hand bag just in case* *smiles excitedly, eager to just... be somewhere new* |

*She watches the woman descend the stairs. She can't help but feel a bit jealous; the other's dress and mask work together flawlessly. Suddenly self-conscious, Daphne takes a sip of her drink to avoid looking at the woman.*

*Sylvan smiles at Lucius' approach and bows with regal grace.*
Mr. Malfoy, you honor me with your presence and invitation. Looking as sharp as the house itself, if I may be so bold. Mm...I swear I will have to figure which of your house elves is the tailor and steal him for my own.
*Teasing the man in something of traditional small talk, compliments and praise mingled with just enough jealousy and coveting that it in of itself ends up being a compliment. All the game of high society.*
I daresay your darling wife has more than outdone herself with the decor.
*Sylvan smiles and both she and Lucius would know the smile was false but masterfully so.*
I dare to hope there shall be dancing as well on this eve of domino silk? It has been an age since I was allowed to enjoy such an event.
*Talk that means nothing as Sylvan knows that at some point this night the Death Eaters will come. She smiles to Lucius again.*
I would not wish to keep the host from tending his growing flock...
*Patting his forearm gently and speaking in a very low whisper that even the sharpest ears and magic would be tried to hear.*
~I am at your disposal, Lucius Malfoy. Leaving the Dark Lord's convey will not be an easy journey. All you need do is make me aware of any who should know of your incredible bravery in choosing this path.~
*True, she speaks a lie, but it made it so that if she was heard that their cover would not be blown and would let Lucius move her across this chess board affair. Not something she normally does, but Lucius knows which ears can be whispered to and which to yet avoid.*

*enters the home and is stunned at the decorations*
*stares around herself in the entryway, probably annoying some people who wanted to get through, but taking her time*
*walks in and stands beside the door for a moment, enjoying the view*
*looks around for Mr. Malfoy, but sees that he is already speaking with someone*
*takes a few steps forward, but waits patiently many yards away, out of hearing range*

*Gracefully enters the gardens wearing her new dress*  *Looks around and is stunned by the decorations as usual* *Takes a glass of wine of the house elf and admires the people that are there, not recognising a few* |

Your presence here and your support is well received. |

*Sylvan smiles and nods her head as she considers a moment.*
Then...perhaps something of an eloquent speech is in order? Tell them of your servitude to You-Know-Who and that you and your family too late saw the error of your ways and that you have turned away from such things. That you have neglected your true loyalty to the Ministry and those that work for it and will do so no longer.
Make it publicly known, Lucius Malfoy...and make it known that you have friends who are helping you fight back against You-Know-Who.
I will stand with you, Lucius. Though it appears that your presence is sought by others.
*Gesturing to Anna with a warm smile before taking a sip of her wine.*

*sees the woman who had been previousley speaking with Lucius look to her and smile*
*taking her chance, Anna smiled back and carefully approached the two*
Hello, Mr. Malfoy, *still smiling* I don't mean to intterupt, I just wanted to meet the host and thank you very much. Your home is lovely.
*holds out a hand, again, taking chances*
If you please, sir, my name is Anna Bellacoure. I work with Tallia Gauthier for Witch Weekly.

*Decides to join Kingsley as he knows him best out of all the guests.* Hi Kingsley. How you doing?
*Kingsley smiled at the sight of the Auror. Finally a friendly face among the guests. Greets him as he shakes his hand*
Surprised with the invitation as well as me, uh?
*As new people arrive, bows to them in reply. Kingsley never showed great fondness towards the Malfoy's and his...people, but now was time to but some things aside and give them credit for this well conducted ball. As Lucius Malfoy approaches and bows his head to him, Kingsley does the same*
Mr. Malfoy.
*Takes a glass of wine from the tray the house-elf was holding. "If Miss Granger could see this..." He wonders, yet smiling* |

*Enters the ball with a scraggly look. Remus wasn't exactly a party man and most defenitly not a friend of the Malfoys. His breath announced everyone that he has been drinking, walks through the guests without giving them any attention, stops near Kingsley*
Hey there Kings...
*He grumbles. Sees Malfoy at a distance and frowns. Rage was filling inside of him. The persons who probably planned and executed her kidnapping was among them*

Help yourself to beverages won't you. *He smiles in a way to show that he is about to make a joke* I hope any article you may write shines favourably upon me. *His smile returns to its formal politeness* I am hoping to show the world a reformed Lucius Malfoy. |

Ken... I'm glad you came too.
*Kingsley smiled at the sight of the Auror. Finally a friendly face among the guests. Greets him as he shakes his hand*
Surprised with the invitation as well as me, uh?
*Takes a glass of wine from the tray the house-elf was holding. "If Miss Granger could see this..." He wonders, yet smiling* Surprised? Yes. Quite surprised the Malfoy's even know who I am. It's not like I'm as high ranking and well known as you. Though this is a nice place. Don't you think it's odd that we've been invited to this? |

*Gets out of her carriage and smoothes out her gorgeous new dress; along with her mask, it was sure to be admired.*   *Strides up the steps to the great front door of the Malfoy Manor and knocks courteously before entering. Takes a moment to gawk at the lavish decorations. * As expected, Narcissa has really outdone herself.*Spots Millicent inside and strolls over to stand by her. Starts a conversation, keeping an eye out for the hosts.* Wow, this really turned out spectacular, huh? |

*Daphne watches Millicent and Pansy enter, secretly proud of how wonderful her friends look. She raises a hand and waves to them. She turns to Andromeda.*
Please excuse me. It was lovely meeting you.
*She takes a drink, then starts toward her friends.*
