EVENT 003 - HALLOWEEN EVENT

In the name of a good time, James Potter and Sirius Black have so graciously agreed to host a Halloween party for their friends. What they hadn’t planned on was things to get so out of hand... before they knew what was happening everyone was telling anyone who would listen the guest list had expanded well beyond the original plan. Another little snag? You see, they didn’t realize someone was going to get the bright idea to spike the drinks with Veritaserum. Oh, this is going to be a night you’ll never forget.

This event will take place starting Monday October 18th, and will end Monday November 1st. Please tag all starters & interactions with darkestnightevent002. They should also be dated October 31st, 1980. Feel free to post the costume your character is wearing. Thank you!

Where: Halloween Party When: October 31st, 1980 Who: Narcissa & Alice @xofalice​

Narcissa had been enjoying the night, mingling amongst the party-goers, and dancing with Evan for half the night. She felt lighter than she had in weeks, and she had lost track of Lucius a while ago, but she wasn’t worried. She was sure that he would show up. She had been avoiding the alcohol so far, wanting to enjoy being in the moment and feeling the best that she had since everything with Andromeda. She worried that drinking would bring her good mood down, or make her want to go home, she tended to be a lightweight, and well...it was too soon into her marriage for Lucius to see her at her messiest. He really had no idea how much of a struggle she had been having lately, and she intended to keep it that way. 

But she finally decided that maybe she would partake in something, just one drink would be fine, and she made her way through the throng of people, smiling at people that she recognized here and there, and stopping to say hello when she saw someone that her mother would want her to talk to. Finally making it to the drink table, she got herself a drink and she was about to take a sip from the glass when she looked over and saw Alice standing there. “Hey!” She greeted, feeling warmer towards the other woman than she had in the last few weeks. “You look great! Where’s Frank? I haven’t seen him yet,” She told her.

who: frank & dorcas ( @loyallongbottom​ )  when: october 31st, 1980 where: potter residence

as soon as dorcas took a sip of her drink, she knew something was wrong. usually reserved, doe found herself ready to say anything and everything that crossed her path. immediately, she found the danger of that, and knew she needed to keep focused on lighter topics. as it was, there were a lot of people here that she was certain hadn’t actually been invited. james and sirius were welcoming, yes, but not to this extreme. she was fairly certain this was supposed to be a house party, a get to together for friends and acquaintances. this went well beyond just that, and clearly, it was already blowing up in their faces. 

already, there were people she was trying to avoid. 

seeing frank and alice had been a surprise, but then, she figured it probably shouldn’t be. of course they were going to be at a social gathering that had ended up having an extensive guest list. for a brief moment, she was sixteen again and at a tower party with the rest of her classmates. ironically, most of the people here had in fact been her classmates. so far, she’d done a rather good job at keeping to her own people, until she went to grab a snack, hoping to absorb the drink she had tossed back. 

apparently, fate had a sense of humor tonight. as soon as her shoulder brushed his, she let out a quiet sigh. turning, she gave him a tight smile as she greeted, “frank. having a good night?”

Where: Halloween Party When: October 31st, 1980 Who: Narcissa & James @staggeringlyprongs​

Narcissa had snuck out of the party to get some fresh air when she sensed someone hovering behind her. She assumed that it was Lucius perhaps, following her outside, so she was rather surprised when she saw James Potter standing behind her. “Hey,” she greeted. She still didn’t quite know how to feel about James Potter even all of these years later, but he was a friend of Sirius’s, and that was good enough for her, she supposed. She had found herself seeking out Sirius’s company more and more in the aftermath of what had happened to Andromeda and Regulus, and she had come to terms that that meant that she might have to interact with his friends as well.

“You boys did a good job,” she complimented, although slightly grudgingly. She had been sure that the party would turn out just fine since Sirius had been helping, and he was a Black after all, but she had admittedly been a bit hesitant to come. But she had saw it as a good way for her and Lucius to be seen together, and it could be a fun night for them. Narcissa had desperately needed a fun night without being in her head. “Although...do you guys really know all of these people?” She questioned. She thought that Sirius had said that it would be a smaller thing, and well, tonight seemed like the opposite of small.

Where: Halloween Party When: October 31st, 1980 Who: Narcissa & Evan @evanrosixr​

“Oh my God,” Narcissa squealed when she spotted her cousin. He was dressed all in gold, just like her, but she didn’t find herself feeling jealous or mad. If it had been anyone else, she would have been furious, but it was Evan. “Evan! You look incredible!” She exclaimed, laughing as she looked over her cousin’s costume. She wasn’t surprised that he and Nellie looked incredible, she expected nothing less of her cousins, but there was something about Evan’s costume that she just adored. “I’m obsessed. We’re practically matching too.” Evan and Nellie were the only people that she could accept dressing better than herself and Lucius. 

She felt lighter tonight than she had since Andromeda’s death. She felt a twinge of guilt for being happy while Andromeda was gone, but she pushed those feelings to the back of her mind. She deserved to have a night of happiness. She deserved to smile and dance and drink and be a normal person again. Things had been so hard lately and she just wanted one night of not thinking about all of the sad things. She was sure that she would feel it in the morning, but for now she wanted to be in the moment and enjoy herself.
