You've eloped? Fine. Let's celebrate it anyways!

Kat was just about to get defensive and tell Andy she had the wrong idea when it hit her that her best friend was joking with her. She was just about to say something when Andromeda added in the part about comparing notes on kissing. Just as Kat lunged at her the redhead jumped to her own bed sending Kat toppling over the side of hers as her foot tangled in the bed covers, landing her flat on her back with a thud. "Doh, that's going to leave a mark," she said as she sat up while laughing hysterically.
 
"Getting married hasn't helped anything in the way of patience, I see," Estrella mocked, propping herself up on her elbows and making a face at her friend. Flopping onto her belly, she reached for the present and tossed it at her friend. Good thing it wasn't fragile. She had barely gotten to her feet when Andy pulled her into a hug. She promised that she would dig out some pictures for her friend. It was getting difficult to keep track of who was in the room. Turning to the recently graduated Slytherin, she threw her arms around Zoe. "I know! You so have to visit sometime," she said with a grin, "And she's doing wonderful. At the moment I'm sure she's getting spoiled rotten by her great aunt and uncle."

Beaming at her new sister-in-law, Estrella chortled, "So, when does the party start?" The former Ravenclaw couldn't wait to have a girl's night with the rest of the females here.
 
Lily smiled as she watched the various people heading off to the rooms to rest before the festivities got under way. "Nope. No patience at all. Neither does your brother, other wise we would not have eloped," Lily joked with her friend and sister. "Things will get going in a few hours. Give us a bit of time to relax and change and stuff like that. I know I need a shower and stuff after flooing here." She winked at Estrella, then headed off dragging her with. It was time to go and relax and then get ready to have some girlie fun.



Lily stood in front of the mirror in the room she shared with her husband. Her hair was done up in a bit of curls and her makeup was subtle but classy. She slowly zipped up her dress and then slipped her feet into her silver heels. Glancing one last time in the mirror, she walked over to the bathroom door and opened it. "Sumner, I am heading over to Kat and Andy's room. Love you, babe!" she yelled in over the sound of the water running in the shower.

Crossing the hallway, she knocked on the door across the hall and down a bit, waiting for a friend to answer. She kept looking up and down the hall too, in case any other friends were heading down to the party at the same time.


(Okay girls, lets get out party started. Livvy is on a break from the site for the time being, so the stag party is on hold, but we hens can still have fun! Join us to wander down or wait to join us in the ballroom when we get there. :D )
 
Kat checked the mirror once more just to make sure that she looked okay, tucking a stray curl behind her ear. "Andy get the lead out, we're going to be late," she yelled into the bathroom, hoping that her red haired friend would hurry up. Just then there was a knock at the door and Kat yelled once more, "Andy get a move on." Walking over to the door she opened it and saw Lily. Grinning, she wolf-whistled and said, "What's cooking good looking? That dress is hot!"
 
"I am not the only one that is looking hot tonight! Damn girl, you scrub up really well!" Lily exclaimed as she moved to lean against the door frame. She peeked over her friend's shoulder. "So were is that other hot Gryffindor? I wanna get my groove on already!" Lily had heard enough from Julie and Sarah what was to be expected downstairs. Lots of drink, lots of music, lots of girl talk. She smiled at Kat, making a promise to herself that she would not let Andy get too intoxicated tonight -- and definately keep her away from Sumner and those little dares of his.
 
Kat did a full three sixty before striking pose and laughing as she did so. She looked back over her shoulder and yelled once more, "I don't know what's taking so long...she needs to get a MOVE ON!!!" Kat shook her head and she told Lily, "I have no clue what she's doing in there."
 
Lily coudn't help but giggle at her friend as she spun and posed for her. "Maybe Crispin snuck in there with her?" she said suggestively. "But, if she doesn't get MOVING we won't have any time to party!!" Looking down at Kat's feet, she busted up laughing. "Now I know we were destined to be friends no matter what. Check out our feet!" Moving to put her own foot next to Kat's, she laughed. "Guess we both have a love for sparkley silver shoes."
 
Zoe checked herself out once before she left her room, and was headed just down the hall where she heard Lily and Kat talking. She raised her arms in the air, and dance-walked her way to her friends, bobbing her head to non-existant music. She leaned against the wall, and crossed her right foot over her left, winking. In a masculine-type voice, she said, "Is there a fire in here, cause you guys are smokin'!?" And tried to keep a straight face. She was in a great mood, ready to party it up, and maybe even cause a little bit of trouble.
 
"Ladies watch your men cause Zoe is on FIRE! Good gracious," Kat called out after the former Slytherin. She held up on finger telling them to hold on one second and walked over to the bathroom door and said, "Andromeda Fiorelli you've got about three seconds to get your cute butt out here or we're leaving you to your own defenses." With that she walked back over to the Zoe and Lily and said, "She must be doing some serious primping."
 
Lily laughed as first Zoe joined them, then Kat gave Andy an ultimatum. "I still think Crispin snuck in there and they will be a bit tied up for a while." She smirked at the girls, then motioned for them to come closer. Whispering, she filled the girls in on what she was wanting to do. "You two game? I just want to have a bit of fun with our men." She waited, wishing Andy would get her arse out of the bathroom and come with them. Four would make the prank just that much easier to pull off. She turned towards the bathroom door, then yelled. "You better light a candle in there Andy! Betcha it stinks after all that time on the toilet!" She couldn't help it. She loved Andy to death, but with how long she was in there, she had to give her some good ribbing.
 
Zoe smirked, Andromeda was taking a long time to get ready. She stood up properly, having nearly tripped on her feet. She was good in heels, though not on an angle, with one wrapped around the other; that was a recipe for disaster. She watched as Lily and Kat mocked Andy a little more, then leaned in to hear what Lily had to say. A malicious grin grew on her face, and she nodded her head swiftly. Bringing her fingertips together, she tapped them, saying, "Yes, yes. That's wonderful!" And began to get really excited about this.
 
Kailey and Trista were in their room getting ready when they started to hear activity and alot of it, outside in the hallway rather close to their room. She looked at her watch and realized that they were both running a bit late. Pulling her shoes on and looking herself over in the mirror once more. She walked out of the room, leaving Trista to her own devices after giving her a warning on the time, hoping she looked okay. She turned her head towards the obvious source of the noise Kat, Lily, and Zoe. She walked over to them, partially curious as to what was so 'wonderful'. "Something tells me I don't even want to know what you guys are doing." she said lightheartedly, giving them a smile as she approached. Stumbling quite a bit in the process, "Damn heels." she muttered as she righted herself. "But really... What is going on? If you don't mind me asking of course." she asked, curiousity getting the best of her.
 
A malicious grin broke out on Kat's face as she heard what Lily had planned and she knew that if anyone could have pulled it off then this particular group of girls could. "That is absolute genius...we'll totally have them by the seat of their pants there," she said laughing until she was red in the face. Just then she heard Kailey come up behind her and she took her hand and mock fanned herself saying, "Sweet Merlin girl you look hot! You're going to let me borrow that dress right?"
 
Lily was more than excited now. "Ladies, we are going to have a blast tonight. I just know it. So, who is good at non-verbal magic?" she asked wickedly, the plan forming in her head furiously. "Ok. Looks like it will be just us. Here's the plan...." She pulled them together, waiting for Andy to pop out from the bathroom at any moment and join them. Keeping an eye out for the men, she filled everyone in on her plan, trying not to laugh while she did.




Lily slipped down around the door to the study, trying to keep a quiet as possible. She motioned to the girls to slip into position so they could cast the charms on the the chairs. Giving the hand motions they had agreed on, she signaled to them to go ahead and cast the spells. Quickly, they all cast the sticking spell, most of them silently, the others at a whisper. She couldn't help letting loose with a rather loud giggle, alerting the boys that something had just happened.
 
Quietly Kat followed Lily into the study and set to work, silently casting sticking charms onto every last one of the seats of the chairs. Her entire body was shaking as she had a mental picture of guys sitting down and then not being able to get back up. A loud snort erupted from the seventh year Gryffindor and she quickly clapped her hand over her mouth as her eyes widened at Lily.
 
Kailey made no noise as she followed Kat and Lily into the study, quite a feat considering her clumsiness and footwear. She got into position and started to cast sticking charms on her section of chairs, whispering very lightly as she didn't quite trust her Non-Verbal magic completely yet. She had just finished the last chair when she heard a rather loud giggle from Lily and though she couldn't see, heard a snort that was quite obviously Kats. Her head shot up and she scanned the place for a moment, remaining hidden. A small giggle betraying her as she too got a mental image of them being stuck to their seats.
 
Zoe was carrying her shoes in her left hand, and her wand in her right as she tip-toed behind the three girls ahead of her. They entered the study, and began casting the sticking spells on the chairs. A loud snort, and a giggle echoed in the room, and Zoe turned her head to see Kat covering her face, and she too had to plug her nose to prevent herself from laughing and making a loud noise. She felt in her element, pranking the guys, but her green eyes widened as the noises they were making would probably attract attention to the study. She froze, unsure what to do next, and looked over at Lily for their next move.
 
Lily, satisfied that they had the chairs covered, motioned for the girls to follow her. She remembered enough of the layout of the massive home to know there was a balcony above the study that was accessable from an upper floor. Motioning for them to follow her, she lead them up the stairs and to the balcony where they were able to watch the guys and see the results of their activity. She squatted down near the railing, waiting patiently for the men to arrive.
 
Kailey saw Lilys signal and quickly moved from her hidden perch near some of the chairs to follow Lily out of the room and hopefully to somewhere she could enjoy the results of their actions. A grin stretched across her face as they walked out on the balcony. They had an amazing view from here! She went over to where Lily was crouched and got down beside her, making herself as comfortable as possible before casting a dissalusionment charm on herself, hivering as the sensation of someone cracking a cold egg over her head passed it's way down her body before slipping her wand back in it's holder.
 
Sumner rolled his head on his neck and considered the man who was now his grandfather. The man was big, tall and wide; not fat but muscular, like his father. There was something undefinable that surrounded this man though that was not like his father. Darkness, an iron strength that was unyielding. He knew he should probably get up, apologize, maybe say something to ease the tension. But Sumner didn't do any of those things, instead he stared at his grandfather and his mouth twisted into a smirk. Cigar now between his fingers, he gestured with it. "Well I can't very well shove it up my arse, so I guess I'd be needing a light, grandfather."
 
Zoe noticed Lily and Kailey scramble for the stairs, so she followed suite. She was sure the boys would be coming in, and she crouched down with the other girls, and cast a dissilusionment spell on herself. She got excited from the view they had, on the high balcony.
 
Andromeda was doing her best to hurry up but as much as she had been trying of late to be all girlie this was probably the most outrageous girlie outfit she had ever worn. Her makeup she tended to with precision but not liking the effect wiped it off again. Sitting on the edge of the bath she sighed, all the others were going to look a million dollars and she'd end up looking like something that got slapped with a bus. Sighing she stood up again and reattempted her makeup, smudging her eyes as Kat and Lily called out to her.

Biting her lip she thought of just calling one of them in to help her but decided no, she would do this by herself or be damned. She cleaned herself up again and reapplied her make up carefully, painstakingly so that she knew they were probably about to kill her outside. With that done she slipped her feet in to her really high red pumps before slipping on her dress. She felt utterly conscious still of the fact that she could finally wear strapless dresses and tops because the scar from the werewolf bite had effectively been magically worked on at the beginning of the summer by the master healer Samson Kolpeck. Finally she stepped outside and shrugged to the girls mouthing an apology as she joined them in a huddle. Plans relayed she wondered why she had gone to so much effort when her jeans would have done for surprise warfare on the boys.

She followed the girls trying to suppress a giggle as they made their way upstairs to the balcony. Hoping she gave nothing away as soon as Crispin came into view she gripped her wand and winked at Kat.


[so sorry nudge me ;) ]
 
Jaken entered the designated room for the stag party, which he wasn't very sure of what it was to begin with. He was still a bit sore from his previous encounter with a Death Eater, able to feel that Sectumsempra which permanently left a nasty looking scar on his shoulder and part of his chest. Jaken sat down next to his cousin, Demitris, and he wondered what in the world was he supposed to do. He wasn't really sure what to do, so he muttered, "I wonder what we are supposed to do." Jaken attempted to stand up, but realized something was wrong...very wrong. "What the hell. I'm stuck."
 
Demitris gave Jaken an odd look at what he said, and he shook his head. Demitris was a little disappointed in his friends for going out and starting a family so freakishly early. Demitris had to yell at Dietrich for having so many children with many women, and then Jaken. At least Jaken was not a *****. Demitris retorted, "Okay, you shouldn't be stuck. Hang on a second." Demitris himself tried to stand up and what would you know, he was in the same circumstance. Demitris swore under his breath before he muttered, "What in the world is going on?"
 
(Just a quick note that I have the okay to add Sumner's words and actions to my post per Livvy.)

Lily watched from the balcony as the boys started to wander into the room. It was all she had to contain herself as she watched first Jaken, then Demitris and finally Sumner take a seat. Watching carefully through the railing that she was kneeling behind, she willed her husband to sit down before any of them tried to stand up. There was going to be hell to pay for this little prank, but if it worked right, it was going to be so worth it.

Sumner reached over for one of his Grandfather's cigars. They really were two of a kind, thought neither of them would ever admit that. Lily had noticed that her husband had fallen right in line with the Drage family, as if he had never been raised anywhere but with them, and it made her smile. She was happy that he finally had a real family to be part of, though she knew it still hurt him to think of his mother or his half-brother. He placed the cigar in his mouth and looked over at the others. "What are you talking about? Stuck?" he asked as he watched first Jaken and then Demitris try to stand up. Moving in his own large leather chair, he realized something was wrong. "What the f@*#? Bloody hell! I'm stuck too. Son of a *****!" he exclaimed as he tried to figure out just what was going on.

Lily couldn't help but giggle as she heard her husband start swearing. She motioned to the others that they should move so they would not be busted. She turned and walking in a squatted position, she moved slowly away from the balcony edge and behind a bookshelf to stand up. Straightening her dress out, she took one last look then took off to the ballroom at as much of a run as her heels would let her.

His ears perking up at the slight giggle he heard from above, Sumner suddenly knew just what was going on. "DAMMIT LILY GET DOWN HERE AND RELEASE US! LILY!!!" he screamed, knowing his wife was in earshot. "YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE LILY!"
