xxxxxCadoc gently pushed Andi in before taking the seat next to her. He had to wonder how she was feeling. This was really the first time that she was around his family, well, since they were all in Hogwarts. Although, to be fair, Aravis wasn't there when they were. She was younger than them, but not by too much. It wasn't like it was completely weird. Then again, love was a weird thing. Darryn and Aravis didn't start dating until she had to save his life. And while Cadoc wasn't entirely sure what he and Andi were (to be honest, he was fine with saying they were dating), they didn't really start doing anything until several years after they had originally met.
xxxxx"Oh don't worry too much," Cadoc said softly to his date. Most people think he didn't care about others, but that wasn't true. He cared about people he had a reason to care about. "Any idea when our big sister's going to get her arse here?" he asked Darryn. Knowing her, she probably was somewhere at the gala, just busy talking to other people. That was her job after all.

Deveron was sipping at his drink when he noticed two taller figures approach him. Well, it was obvious that everyone was taller than he was, just for the sake of being taller. He shifted a bit, thinking as he realized that it was Wesley Edgeworth, someone from work. He inclined his head, a bit of a smile crossing his features as he nodded toward the seats at the table. "Go ahead, have a seat. It's not like I happen to be waiting for anyone. And it is a pleasure to meet you, Siobhan. I see you got the stiff out of his house to socialize."
He could hardly blame Wesley if the other man decided that Deveron's company was better than some others here. After all, they knew each other to some greater or lesser extent, even if they rarely spoke outside of work. Then again, they didn't have that much in common, though he had heard a rumour that Wesley had some unfortunate business with his ex-wife. Considering he heard the rumours surrounding Dahlia (and he knew some other things regarding the woman as well), it was good to see the taller man getting around again. He took another sip from his drink, grimacing slightly at the burn of alcohol before he looked toward the two again. "So, what brings the two of you together? I imagine it has to be more interesting than some other things going on at this ball, to be sure."

"Come on, Desdemona," Callius had muttered in disgust as soon as he caught sight of two familiar figures taking to the ballroom floor. "My sister in-law and her muggle are twirling around like two lovesick fools."
Desdemona smiled faintly and said nothing as she followed him over to where the tables of food and diners were. "Are you hungry?" she asked patiently, sitting down carefully as he held a chair out for her. She smoothed her gown, admiring the way it accented her small waist and made her legs appear longer under the black skirt.
"I think my appetite was just ruined," he said flatly, "So no, thank you."
She tapped a long, manicured nail on the table thoughtfully for a moment, before demurely folding her small hands in her lap. "Well, at least they didn't have a long line of children tailing after them tonight."
"Oh, they've probably picked up a few more street urchins since we've last seen them," he replied scornfully, and then went quiet.
Desdemona recognized the vaguely calculating look in his brown eyes as him thinking about something, as his gaze wandered around the area. "Look," she said in a quietly amused tone, "The Tempests and the... hm, those are the Averys, aren't they? Well. Perhaps we should go say hello?"
Callius scoffed. "After that mess the Tempests got into? With the muggle murdering and their idiot son and grandson? And the Averys aren't much better- isn't the daughter married to a squib?"
"I wouldn't know," said Desdemona with malicious cheer, "I've never spoken to her." She knew for a fact that their own family was not the most wealthy, though they were very well off, nor the most powerful, and maybe their line was small... But no one with the surname Lillantine had been implicated in the deaths of muggles for at least three decades, so that was something. At least they did a good job of keeping themselves out of the papers. There wasn't any scandal clinging to them like a cloak.

Deveron snorted a bit as he chuckled, thinking that Wesley had him pegged there. "Guilty as charged, good sir, though to be honest, considering the harpy you used to be married to, I would not blame you for trying to hide from the world. Dahlia wasn't exactly the most pleasant woman to be around. Turned her nose up at everything she didn't approve of, if I recall correctly. Called me an ugly sort of goblin, if I recall. Worse than some other purebloods I have ever met." His gaze slid around the room, taking in the people gathered for the event, and he looked back toward Wesley. "At the very least, I assume you are probably better off since she left. You seem happier, in any case."
Deveron listened to the story about them meeting, only snorting when he heard the part about Dahlia's exit from Wesley's life. Well, he couldn't say he didn't see that happening. She did seem to flit around quite a bit, and the whole affair from what he heard had been a messy business. Which of course made this rather more interesting regarding how the two met. He nodded, knowing that it could be lonely at a rather large home alone. The Whitethorne estate was rather large as well, and except for a few house elves, was rather empty. That he blamed on his father. shameful business to be sure, disowning one son because he didn't produce the right sort of heirs. At the end of the tale, Deveron lifted his his glass in a bit of a toast. "Well then, may I be the first to wish you much happiness. Unless I'm completely pissed and completely misread things. I don't think I have had that much to drink as of yet. As for me, not much really. Met a lovely brunette girl over in Surrey a few months back, and well, we spent a few nights together. Also got a chance to spend Christmas with the family again, though from the way my brother would probably tell it, I barged in. He did invite all of the family to dinner, after all, and unless I miss my guess, I still qualify as such."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxRobert Carlson Avery I xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxPureblood Former Slytherin xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHead of the Avery Clan
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxJane Cathaline Avery xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxPureblood Former Slytherin xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSocialite xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxDressed in Royal Blue THE HEADS OF THE AVERY CLAN and THE LEAGUE FAMILY
Cara Jane League Head of the Obliviator Office Pureblood Former Slytherin Wife of Dr. Sinclair League and mother of two Dressed in GreenDr. Sinclair Alfred-Jon LeagueCambridge University Graduate Squib Muggle Plastic Surgeon Married to Cara Jane League (formerly Avery) "Actually, at least in my case-and likely Mr. Ryans- you would be better seeking someone well versed in divination to answer that sort of thing. For some reason the schools I attended never offered the class and..." Sinclair said before he glanced to his wife, "You dated Edwin for a couple months before you broke it off with him, correct? I don't think he took divination."
Cara raised a brow and said more for the benefit of her parents who generally liked to overlook her one time of dating a halfblood who later married a member of the branch family which was considered a far worse action than the dozen or so pureblood boys she had gone through in her school years. "I dated him because it was a more entertaining way to boost my Muggle Studies grade than actually reading the book. Only natural a half-blood would know about the muggle world. Why should I care what particular courses he took." Sinclair shook his head before deciding to not offer anything more and just listen to his in-laws prattle on and his wife presenting herself as much of a well bred woman from a long line of purebloods as she could considering her choice marrying a Squib.
Meanwhile Robert and Jane Avery exchanged looks. Cara had been notoriously lazy in her studies back in school: it was hard to say how she could have actually done academically if she put in more effort. Of course, they had never expected Cara to decide to work for the long term, and she could have easily lived at home until she chose to get married. Robert was sure a more respectable man than his son-in-law would have informed his daughter long ago it was best for her to retire. At least Cara had managed to get the label of 'Head of the Obliviator Office' to offset some of the ridiculousness of lowering herself to marrying the Squib, and worse flaunting it practically.
"We have a commonality there, Mr. Tempest," Robert said to Edgar with a small smirk. "I agree the job is very beneath my daughter as well, no matter her placement in the office. I would have thought her husband at the very least considering his income should understand there is no reason for her to work." He smiled politely at Edgar and added, "Regardless, you are correct with your assessment. Gossip is not of my taste. Besides we all have a few skeletons in our closet, I am sure."
Cara glanced at her father and said, "Father, why don't you and Sinclair talk? He's been pestering me about retiring for quite a while now, especially considering the complications from the Fall Festival a few years ago. I'm sure it is one of the few things you two can agree on. However, I work because I enjoy it." She raised a brow of challenge at her father and then returned her attention to Callidora who seemed far from thrilled to be at the event. Then again, Cara was already growing tired of things as her parents were there. At least she didn't have to deal with any of her brothers, in particular. With them and her parents there, she was fairly sure a very large argument would result and her husband would have far more than being irritated and a bit tired the next day to worry about. He managed to antagonize her entire family, but her brothers were far more hotheaded about it, particularly her eldest brother. She listened as Callidora casually mentioned visiting old shops and looking for items of interest but spending most of her time at home reading.
"That sounds dreadfully dull, I'm so sorry," Cara said with a polite smile to Callidora. "I would much rather die than be cooped up with some book. Though, I must admit I'm envious of your time for browsing shops. Be sure to let me know if you find anything of interest art related, especially, I could always have one or two more traditional items of that sort in my art studio. At least there I don't have to worry about prying eyes of muggles if I so chose to give a bit more life to my paintings or look at old photo albums."

He smiled and allowed her to lead him to the dining area. It wasn't like he had a choice in who led anyway. She already started walking towards the dining area before he had a chance to say anything. It made him chuckle a bit to be honest. He just wasn't used to being lead by a woman like this. It was actually...refreshing for a change. "It might be common in the United States, but I assure yuh, it isn't here. It is nice tuh here somet'in different," he assured her, flashing a wide grin at her.
As they got to a good table, he politely pulled a chair out for her. "After you," he said to her, taking a seat directly next to her. "Oh yes, I played Professional Quidditch for seven years, all of which were with the Falmouth Falcons. I played keeper, in which I got called up to play for Ireland quite a few times. My last year playin' was when we lost to t'e Brits in t'e semi finals. We had quite a few great players on t'at team I tell yuh. I played wit' the legend Korbin Acacia. Been captainin' t'at Irish team for awhile now. D*** good beater t'at man is," he said to her, realizing he was probably talking just a little bit too much. He decided that it was his turn to ask her something. "Enough of me, my turn to ask you a question," he said to her, smiling.
"You dress up like yuh sister to harass her? I mean, I just go up to me brother and mess wit' him. But no, you go as far as to be her 'spitting image'. I must say, t'e dedication is impressive. Maybe I should be takin' notes right now," he asked her, a wide smile on his face. He certainly was having a good time during the brief time he was talking about her. Christina seemed to be very nice and generally pleasant.

Professor Christina Anna Dechering "Chrissy" 24, American, Healing Professor at Hogwarts Metamorphagus Salem Graduate: Former Chameleon Dorm Member Wearing: Yellow with Brunette Hair (and very temporarily blonde)
--- --- --- "It actually depends on where you are in the country whether it is common or not," She said. "I lived in New England from after I graduated to when I moved here and still practically any American can tell you I grew up in a small town in the South. Besides you don't have the most common of accents I've heard while I have been here." She shrugged and sat down, glancing up to notice that her sister had already disappeared-knowing Sophie, Chrissy wouldn't be entirely surprised if she had already headed home on the excuse of having work in the morning or some potion to work on or even the importance of breakfast-where Chrissy had seen her sister eat half a dozen eggs and probably half a pig worth of bacon in a sitting before. Okay, maybe Sophie's concerns about the breakfast thing was valid.
Smiling she listened to his explanation about his time in professional quidditch before he said he was going to turn and ask her a question and it was about her mention of how she would annoy her sister. Laughing she said, "Borrowing her clothes or dressing up like her would be too much work. Let me ask you a question: do men prefer blondes?" She waved her hand towards her hair, which though it stayed in its same style brightened to a golden blonde. As she continued her hair returned back to its original brunette color it was that evening, "I have to say, growing up and sticking to blonde mostly I wouldn't say blondes have more fun. So they're all probably just sayings, right?"
She shrugged, "Anyways, it is easier to just do that then bother with changing clothes. Not really dedication when you are a metamorphagus. Anyways, perhaps this is a bit rude of me to ask, but why did you quit quidditch? You said it was really enjoyable. Your team seemed like it was doing quite well, too. Better than even the American National team. I'm pretty sure all the North and South American teams beat us every year even before we get a chance at going over to the compete more Internationally. I followed them religiously still, though. Most of us do. Gotta admit American quidditch fans are loyal."

"Of course me accent isn't common while you've been here... I'm Irish," he said to her, smiling a bit. It was funny that she brought that up, but there never did actually seem to be many Irishmen at these parties. There were a few, but not nearly as many as there were British or even Scottish people. He had no idea why, but he had to guess it was a pride thing. Either way, the woman probably spent most of her time in either Scotland or England, but of course he wasn't too sure about that. "If you don't mind me asking: where in the United States did you grow up?" he asked her, taking a small sip of the wine that was already at the table.
He watched as she asked a weirder question. If he preferred blondes? Why would she...and before his eyes, with a wave of the girl's wand, her hair was now blonde. It surprised him to be honest, but upon realizing what she was...and her saying it of course, he finally knew what she was talking about. After a brief silence, taking in what exactly just happened, he finally started talking again. "Uhm...to answer your question...no I prefer brunettes. And I t'ink you look much better as a brunette," he said, smiling at her. He awaited the food the meal that was supposed to be prepared for them. He wanted some food since he hadn't eaten since lunch and it was starting to get later in the evening.
The next question surprised him. He wasn't expecting the woman to really ask why he quit, because to this day, it was hard to explain. "Uhm...it is hard to explain. After losing that semi final, I never was really right again. I was still skilled, but I just found myself not wanting to play some days. To play at t'at level consistently, you kind of really need to have a love for t'e game to keep yuh goin', and I noticed t'at...fire was going away honestly. Guess I was ready to start a new life. The media was anot'er reason. T'ey know yuh secrets before you do. I hated t'at," he admitted to the woman blindly, without a care of what she might do with that information.
"And yes, I have noticed yuh Americans are pretty loyal. The American Team isn't to good right now. But I respect t'e loyalty however," he said to her, laughing. The Americans were never that good at Quidditch. It was kind of like Football actually. They weren't as good as the European and South American Nations.

Professor Christina Anna Dechering "Chrissy" 24, American, Healing Professor at Hogwarts Metamorphagus Salem Graduate: Former Chameleon Dorm Member Wearing: Yellow with Brunette Hair
--- --- --- "Northern Georgia. Small town. About three stoplights and a church for every 30 residents or so. It was all Muggle, besides my family, not exciting, really," She said with a shrug. "My father after he retired early from his position with the American Ministry of Magic, moved there and ran a health foods store there-it was a family business. My mother helped out there and runs it now. She also would read tarot cards or make predictions for fun."
Chrissy laughed at Bréanainn who said he preferred her brunette, "Hmm? As you can tell my hair color is fairly indeterminate. I think my Mom mentioned I was born strawberry-blonde. I had to be home-schooled until my wizarding education began, though because of it. All my childhood pictures that are official have me blonde, though."
"Interesting about your quidditch retirement, though. I mean I had those days working as a healer but I never gave up on it-or not until I became a professor, but it is the same field," She said. "Maybe quidditch wasn't your true passion? I mean, I loved quidditch, I wanted to go that route for years, but end up changing my mind last moment. Hence me quitting playing the last year of my schooling."
"Privacy is important," She said. "Though, I don't care about things about me being dragged up-it is just I don't see reason for my family to be involved. So, I assume teaching and charms ended up being what you care most about?" Frowning for a moment she considered where the class charms would translate into Salem's course work. Probably Enchantments and some of Incantations...

He smiled at her as she described her small town. It sounded like a place that he would definitely want to live. He always loved small towns and made it a dream of his to get out of the big city and live in a small town where the community was lively and everyone knew each other and more importantly, everyone was friends, but then again, it was hard to find such a place, speaking that it was human nature to hate people for some reason. He himself never really cared enough to hate someone however. "Your town sounds very nice," he said to her, keeping his calm demeanor.
He listened to her talk about her hair color and was surprised to here that she was actually blonde. He thought she was more attractive with brown here, but then again, she was attractive either way; so it really didn't matter to him. But that's when the conversation shifted back to his Quidditch days, which were hard to explain. She didn't seem to understand what he was saying to be honest. He knew that he should probably explain a little further. "Yes, everyone has t'ose days, but I mean it was a permanent t'ing. I just wasn't enjoying it like I used to. I to t'is day do not know why, but just lost my desire to play. It was my true passion at one point," he said to her, still staying calm, but his demeanor dropped a bit. It was obviously not a very good subject to talk about.
"And yes, teaching is one of the things I care about. I care about a lot of things though. What do you must care about?" he asked her, a blank expression on his face.

The tempo was uplifting and the harmony was sweet, the gala raffle table seemed to be in full swing as tickets and galleons were exchanged in a thrust from hand to hand. He sighed. Ordinarily, right now would be the perfect time to squabble with his little brother, or his mother or father. But as it were, not one had managed to make an appearance (probably for fear of seeing the other) nor had his cousin even bothered to arrive. It was a lonely moment indeed. But it didn't last. ”Gabe!” A voice abrupted. Gaahh! He mentally shrieked and jumped. His pastry was quick to ease the pain as it flung up into his face, smeared the whipped cream and chocolate glaze all over him in a desperate snog session.
Gabriel was not at all as unpleased about this as he should have been.
”Ah-” he stuttered. ”Germaine!” He grinned, resisted the urge to lick himself clean. ”What a...” he paused, fumbled around for a napkin in a feeble attempt to nonchalantly clean himself up. ”...pleasant surprise?” He tried not to sound as horridly awkward as he must have seemed. There was still a bit of chocolate dabbled across his brow and a puff of white cream underneath his chin.
”I didn't think to find you here, school year, and all that rubbish. I'm glad your here though... S'getting dreadfully boring.” His gaze washed over the room before finally anchoring on her and finally soaking it all in; the luscious blue dress, and long, teasing curls. Was her hair always so long? For some reason, he couldn't remember. Each time he saw her, it must have always been up. ”You look stunning, by the way.” He said, serious as ever, but the chocolate syrup and whipped cream said otherwise.
