Astoria grabbed her sister's arm. "Did you see Draco anywhere?" She asked, smoothing down her hair and dress nervously. "You were right, I should have done this earlier." She sighed and stood up straight, smiling at Daphne.
"Come on, then. Time to go...Outside?" Astoria breathed and looked at her sister.

*Sylavn made her way over towards Severus Snape and smiles friendly to him.*
Headmaster Snape, I hope you are enjoying yourself, so far.
*Chuckling and knowing that in truth, he probably isn't. Taking a sip of her wine as she looks across the gathered all make way to the outside for Lucius' speech. Quite boldly, she slips her arm into his and makes her way towards the outside as well, speaking very softly to him as they walk.*

*Walks with her friends outside. Bites her bottom lip, desperately trying to keep herself from laughing as Millicent shoots her a grin. Places a hand over her mouth to hide own giant grin.* *Notices a younger blonde grab Daphne's arm. Realizes the girl to be Astoria. Looks her over.*
Wow, I haven't seen her in years. She looks rather different... Gained a few inches I see. Pity, her eyes still look as lifeless as ever.
*Continues to mentally size Astoria up. It wasn't that she disliked Astoria, not in the least bit. Pansy's mind was just automatically set to physically pick apart each girl she encountered and compare them to herself. Of course, she never considered another girl's appearance to match up to her own.* *Hears Astoria's hushed question concerning Draco, obviously directed towards her sister only. Raises an eyebrow and glances at Millicent. Now feeling a little peeved at Astoria's interruption and lack of greeting, answers for Daphne, raising her chin ever so slightly and forming a mildly polite smile.*
No, so sorry Astoria. I don't believe he's made his appearance yet. But it is nice to see you again; it has been quite some time.

Oh!
*Looks around as she hears someone else talk back*
Pansy? Millicent? *Smiles and lets some colour into her cheeks and eyes* I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. I do apologize. *Smiles and does a small a curtsy*
I am sorry, Pansy. I just saw Daphne, and not you or Millicent. You look very nice, all of you.

*Daphne's eyes widen, and she blushes for her sister's mistake. She bites her bottom lip, and attempts to avoid entering the conversation by taking a sip of her drink. Not yet... don't mess this up yet...*
*She glances from Pansy to Millicent apologetically, and squeezes Astoria's hand slightly, hoping to convey that she should tread carefully*

What? *Asks almost angrily and frustratedly, her fingers out of Daphne's* What did I do? I said sorry, too. *Whispers in her ear, for she does not want others to listen in* *Turns back to Pansy and Millicent* Nice party, isn't it? You two look wonderful, of course. I did expect nothing less.

*Smiles a bit more warmly now, lowering her chin to its normal height in correspondence to her inflating ego. Strongly resists glanding over to Millicent.*
It's no problem. Thank you, as do you all.
*Looks to each girls' dress, gesturing to them.*
Yes, it turned out very nice. I think we did a pretty decent job helping out, don't you think Millicent?

*Looks at Pansy* Oh, so you helped get the party ready? *Claps hands together softly* I think I am not the only one who thinks you've done beautiful.
*Looks around* I do wish this party would start soon, but no rushings, as I see more fun in doing so. *Looks over at Pansy* You are more grown-up, as well. I did miss Owling you.

*Having waited long enough for his guests to follow him outside, most of them now had he took hold of a glass and teaspoon, held them high and clinked the spoon against the side of the glass a few times calling for attention.*
*As the crowd hushed down for him he gracefully flicked his wand towards himself*
Sonorus.
*His voice now flawlessly reached everyones ears.*
Welcome, welcome to Malfoy Manor my friends.
Friends old and new.
And yes, I am sure some of you whom I count as new friends do indeed wonder why you have been invited here.
I know some of you may look upon me as an enemy, a snake in the grass, a traitor... but no more.
I have asked you here as my way of showing you a new beginning, a new man, a new Lucius Malfoy.
In the past, as I am sure many of you are aware, I have been a part of many frightful and untoward activities, which I deeply regret. I apologise now to any of those who I may have offended with my actions and I do hope that in future I can right the wrongs I have caused.
My family are fully behind me, and in equal measure welcome you to our home.
Now come friends, this is a night for merriment, for new bonds to form and allegiances strengthened.
Enjoy yourselves, and help yourself to as much food and drink as your stomachs can carry.
*He raises a full glass of wine and smiles to the crowd.*
To good friends.

*A little confused about her walking off after her vague speech, Ken wanders back towards his Auror colleagues.* *He accepts her excuse for wanting to hide her past from him, but still wonders what she could be hiding, and indeed how she has come by the rare skill it takes to hide her thoughts from someone so well trained as he.* *His suspicions heightened about what the ball is really about he speaks to Kingsley and Remus.* An odd girl that one. We should keep an eye out tonight. I wonder what Lucius is planning. Maybe he's not planning on anything, maybe he just want to make things right for once in his life...
*Takes another sip from his glass. Ignoring the fact that he's drinking too much*
Shall we see to where is this leading us?
*Kingsley says shortly as he sees Lucius preparing to do the speech. He kept listening carefully to Lucius words. Maybe his intentions changed indeed. Smiled at the man. Maybe now was time to put things aside for a moment and perhaps start over, for the well sake of the wizarding community.
*Him too raised his glass*
To good friends...

*He wonders as Kingsley speaks whether he had thought too harshly of Lucius.*
*It could well be that the man was ready to make amends.*
*As Lucius' speech finished, he followed Kingsley's example and raised his glass with a kind smile.*

*Smiles brightly at her friends' conversation with her sister, happy things are alright between them, and listens intently to Lucius's words.*
*Raises her glass as well as her eyebrow, her interest sparked as she takes in how many new faces are around her.*
To good friends.

*Listens to her brother-in-law's speech and gives a half smile, thinking more highly of him now than she ever has; raises her glass*
To good friends.
