Dupont Easter Feast
• Date • 9 April 2023
• Time • 9:35am
• Location • Dupont Manor
English | Family SpeakingFort William was a beautiful place on Earth. There were dozens of trees flowing together into forests, rivers, ponds and seas filling the nature and wild animals could be seen everywhere if you only looked close enough. Scotland was one of the prettiest places to live in, in Beatrice's opinion. She took a deep breath as she stood at her window, the spring sun shining in her face. Her eyes were closed as she let the fresh breeze flow through her room. It was a peaceful moment, her wizarding radio playing soft piano music in the background. Beatrice's Easter break had been quite pleasant and she only hoped that it would continue to stay like this. Soon, the first guest would enter the Dupont Manor and this time Beatrice would actually know some. Of course some of her Family would also attend but sadly not Henry and his mother this time. They had stayed in Italy because this wasn't one of the big balls. This was a easter celebration, manly to show of wealth and power but Beatrice was telling herself to just enjoy a beautiful day. There were going to be so many things that her parents had planned for this day. These activities were mostly for the kids that would attend but any Adult could join in on them. Although that probably would not happen. The Adults would be occupied with talking, gossiping, eating and enjoying glasses of punch and champagne on their expensive blankets that laid in the grass of the Dupont property. Perhaps her parents would even allow Beatrice and a few other people to take a round on their private quidditch field, seeing as Beatrice had just been accepted into the Slytherin quidditch team as second string seeker. Her parents were quite proud of their daughter, which Beatrice greatly appreciated since they were rarely ever truly proud of something that she did. A knock on the door and the sound of it being pulled open, disturbed Beatrice's peace.
»My Dear, would you come and join us? The guests will arrive soon.« Her Mother's voice was clear as church bells. Beatrice turned around, a small smile playing on her lips. »Of Course Mother.« She hurried to her bed, taking the white cardigan from it and pulling it on. It wasn't cold outside but Beatrice didn't want to walk around in only a dress just yet. Elegant Mary Janes were on her feet, accompanied by white cute socks. She walked with her Mother and siblings until they reached the entrance hall.
What felt like hundreds of vines was beautifully draped over the railing of their stairs. Sometimes you could spot little flowers in them and Beatrice almost thought she had seen a bumblebee making it's way across the leafs. Downstairs at the doors of the grand entrance hall stood a line of butlers, ready to let guests in and lead them to the garden where they would either be able to sit on benches or take place on large picnic blankets that were made out of heavy expensive material. They were so soft that you could not even feel if you were to sit on a rock. Although that obviously wouldn't even happen since the Duponts had taken care of the moving of anything that would disturb a comfortable seat on the blankets. Moving down the stairs and through the house to the tea room, Edith, Benedict and Calliope were already exited to finally see the Ponys that the Duponts had borrowed from a farm. They knew a pureblood family that was know to breed beautiful horses in France, where Alice Dupont had grown up and lived for a long time with her family. The house in general was decorated beautifully outside as well as inside. Little baskets with expensive gifts for the adults on one side and candy from Honeydukes on the other side stood in the tea room that they would enter the garden from and later leave through it. Stepping out into the garden, Beatrice saw her father already conversing with her Grandparents who had come here from America.
The Dupont property was truly beautifully and the spring sun let it look so alive. Beatrice hadn't seen it like this in quite some time. The winter had felt so long that she did not feel as if it would ever stop. But now it did. No more snow filled the grounds, instead beautiful spring flowers filled the grounds along with fresh green grass. The upper part of the garden was connected directly to the Manor while beautiful stairs led to the bottom part of the garden, which was where the festivities would take place. Up here there were tables with quite a large amount of food and drinks. It baffled Beatrice that there was even more in the kitchen, that the Butlers would serve for lunch. On this day you would also randomly see butlers dressed in black suits and robes walk around and hand out snacks and drinks to whoever would need them. »Beatrice, go ahead and take your siblings to the lower part of the garden, I will join you soon along with your father and grandparents.« Alice Dupont told her daughter and so Beatrice did what she was told. This was where the picnic and every other activity would be.
As they reached the lower part of the garden, Beatrice looked at all the blankets. There was candy set out on some as well as flowers. On all, there were several pillows and piles of more blankets to keep their guests warm. With spells, it was ensured that no ants or other insects would attack their guests, truly everything was meant to be peaceful and enjoyable. The Duponts hated Drama on their party's and they would certainly not let anything get in the way of a successful evening. Beatrice knew that the guests would soon arrive and she could already see some of her Family Members, entering the upper part of the garden. As her Siblings ran over to the Ponys which where accompanied by trainers, Beatrice sat down on the blanket that was meant to be for the Duponts. She had already sat here this very morning when the Ponys had arrived at 8am. Knowing how boring these things could be, she had also stored a book right under a pillow, that she now took out. It was Alice in Wonderland, the perfect book for today. To Beatrice's surprise, her Father hadn't even said anything about the muggle book when he had seen Beatrice with it. Sitting on the blanket, she took a quick look on her watch. It was 9:45am and she could already see some guests entering. Taking a deep breath, she plastered a greeting smile on her lips and took one last look at her laughing siblings before she went up to stand beside her parents and greet the first guests.Activities and Explanation:
Pony Riding:
The Pony riding is accompanied by Trainers. You can godmod them, helping and telling you what to do but please keep it short and don't talk to them too much as they are only there for helping and technically not real characters.
Easter Egg Decoration Stations:
Here you can decorate eggs. Be creative, everything you could ever need to paint and decorate the eggs will be supplied on the designated table, which has one bench on either side to sit on around the large long table.
Easter Egg Hunt:
The start of this will be announced in one of my posts. Your character and their family can go on a search for eggs hidden on the Dupont property. These eggs can be made out of chocolate or real life eggs. Little baskets to hold your "harvested" treasures.
The Butlers:
You can RP that they give out food or you let them bring you something, just keep it limited. They work for the Duponts for this event and are supposed to be seen, never heard and only there to give out food and drinks as well as lead you and your family from the entrance to the garden and possibly take off your coats.
The entrance and exit:
You and your family will first go through the Dupont Manor and then will be lead into the garden through big glass doors that lead from the tea room. Everything is decorated in a spring/easter kind of way. Once the event is over or you wish to leave, your character and their family would leave through the tea room again. There kids can take a basket with sweets and obviously take the eggs and sweets they have collected during the Easter egg hunt. The adults get baskets with undefined expensive little gifts and possibly a little bottle of champagne.
The Seating:
There a big, expensive, soft blankets with soft pillows and other blankets to keep you warm laid out through the lower part of the garden. Sweets and little refreshments could also be on your blanket. Each family gets assigned a blanket, if you talk to the person OOC, you can say that your blankets are next or close to each other.@Duvessa Ember | @Caoimhe Kyle | @Cicely Woods | @Aurora Griffith | @Rita Su | @Bailey Glade | @Violet Grace | @Ashley Montez | @Lucian Mornstern | @Alliasta Holista | @Anna Blackrose | @Ciel Saskia | @Courtney O'Riley | @Avery Leveret | @Mahlioz Evethisawe | @Jannette Applebottom | @Cassie Jiang | @Joseph Dunn | @Kayla Realma
Hello and thank you for joining the Dupont Easter Feast! This technically is an unmoderated Event. It will not be moderated in a usual way and I ask of you to preferably not let your character use random unnecessary spells in this, I will not do rolls as it is usually done with events on here. I will however post "mod posts" as to who is doing what kind of activity: Enjoying the picnic, doing pony riding, doing the Easter egg decoration. -- And later the Easter egg hunt. In my posts I will announce when the Easter egg hunt will take place and you can decide if your character would like to take place in that, or perhaps your characters's family. The "mod posts" will be marked as mod posts and will be posted once a week or once every two weeks, depending on how active each activity is. If you need more information about the activities or anything about this, please shoot me and owl or a dm on discord ( beatrice_dupont#3290) ——— Other than that, please enjoy and have fun with this!!

Even though she sun was shining, Duvessa felt a sinking feeling in her stomach as she thought about the feast. Well, more like the people who were coming. With her. Surely her parents would not allow Dagger, the terrifying Ember to be allowed to accompany Duvessa and Caoimhe on the journey? She would ruin everything....and by everything, Duvessa said to herself, every single little bit.
The intimidating figure descended down the steps, to where Duvessa and Caoimhe were eating breakfast. Without minding her manners, Duvessa groaned out loud.
"Manners." Was the reply, cold enough to chill you to the bones. "Mrs Ember, I'm sorry to say, I am unavailable to deliver the girls safely to the Dupont Manor. Please excuse me, I'm afraid that there is no way I can do it, today especially." Mother looked up, disbelief written on her face.
"Dagger, dear, " She began, but her voice came to a halt as Dagger gave her piercing stare.
"Unfortunately, the topic is closed." And with her serene last look, she retreated back to her bedroom. While Mother was obviously trying to control her anger and sadness, Duvessa nearly exploded with happiness. But Mother evidently did not think so.
"Who'll drive you now?"
But it was soon decided, because Elira was free to stay there and watch Duvessa and Caoimhe but Audrey would drive us. It was one of the rare days to which she was home, and she had been helpful as usual.
As the car drove up to the Manor, Duvessa let out a small gasp. It was as beautiful as hers, and she had never met anyone with a huge house too. She smiled, thinking excitedly of the activities.
After coming in, (Elira being haughty at putting her own coat away, but luckily the Butler saved her from having a meltdown) across the back garden, Duvessa saw the huge number of picnics layed out. And there, also, was Bea.
"Bea!!" Duvessa yelled and launched herself to run across to greet her friend, hair flying and all dignity forgotten. "How are you?"

Nora stared down at the bag her parents had packed for her. They'd insisted on not only making her a snack, despite Nora pointing out that it was literally a feast, but also a full first aid kit. To be fair though, if it was up to her, she'd be heading off right now with her contacts, a pack full of books and nothing else. With a sigh, she heaved her bag over her shoulder and headed upstairs. She'd already had breakfast (a strawberry banana smoothie), but she swerved left to the kitchen anyways. She knew her father wouldn't be in there, and that was a plus in her book.
Heat boiled up her neck as she thought about the fight they'd had last night. As usual, it seemed to be about something silly, and it kind of was, but it still bugged her. For years, Nora's dad had kept his wizarding completely separate from his family, never mentioning it except in stories. And even in those, he never shared anything about himself, or his interactions. And when Nora got her letter for Hogwarts, she expected this would change. Finally, she would know, right? Right? Nope. Despite her wishes, it was not the case and he remained as distant as ever.
And now, as she went off to a wizarding feast, he wouldn't even come with her! It wasn't like he had work or anything, he just wouldn't go. Nora's mother, on the other hand, would have loved to come, but being a muggle and all, they decided it would be best if she didn't. Instead, Nora's only other available magical relatives, Shannon Smith and Meila Ovic, would be accompanying her. They came from opposite sides of the family and as far as Nora knew, they'd never interacted before now.
Nora picked a fridge magnet off the fridge, fingering the frame. It was a family photo, from five years ago. She couldn't believe how happy six-year-old Nora looked, all dressed up in ribbons and pink. Smiling sadly back at her former self, she put the magnet back on the fridge and ran a hand through her purple hair. Shannon was supposed to be here in five minutes, to drive Nora to the feast after picking up Meila.
Nora headed down the front door, where her mom was waiting. She chuckled as she watched her mom peek out the window anxiously and was about to do the same when she felt a firm hand land on her shoulder. A shiver went through her, as she turned and looked up to see her dad, staring down at her. She swallowed, waiting for a cold remark on her outfit or something she'd forgotten. But nothing came, and Shannon arrived a few minutes later.
Nora hugged both her parents before running off to the car, bag clutched in her hand. She popped into the car, choosing a spot in the back, and Shannon started the vehicle. First they picked up Meila, and then they were off. It took a few hours, and the drive was in complete silence. It was when they finally arrived that Nora finally broke the silence.
"Do you guys know anyone here?" She asked as she climbed out and approached the house. It was gorgeous and huge, like something she'd never seen before. Her mom's side might be rich, but they were muggles, so their house was more... Modern chic. Besides, they weren't this rich.
Shannon was last to get out, and she locked the car before answering, "Maybe, depends on who comes. Mother has quite a few pureblood friends on the richer side who might come to something like this, but you never know." Of course, Nora thought. Shannon was in a lot of pureblood circles after all, and unlike Meila, had grown up around two whole families full of magic. Meila, despite being a half blood, was adopted into a muggle family and therefore had close to no exposure to anything magical before Hogwarts.
"Oh, okay. You wouldn't know anyone, would you, Meila?" Nora reasoned, glancing back at her cousin.
Meila blinked, looking up from her phone. "Actually, I have a few school friends who said they might come. Not sure how many, but definitely some." They entered the garden, and Nora couldn't help but smile. It really was beautiful, and she spotted a few people she knew vaguely. Duvessa Ember, the Slytherin girl who'd given her and Cassie Jiang a tour of the castle, was there, as well as some others! As she headed over to one of the egg decorating stations, she smiled to herself. Maybe this day wouldn't be so bad after all.

Mahlioz couldn't help looking forward to it. It felt weird knowing she was going somewhere where there would be people she knew. Most of her life she'd spent either on her own or with her family, and friends had been a foreign concept to her. But ever since getting to Hogwarts, things had... changed. So much that even though there would be lots of people Mahlioz didn't know, she was looking forward to meeting and talking to and doing things with them. Mahlioz from the beginning of the year would not have recognized herself.
Present Mahlioz looked out of the window at the Scottish fields racing past the car. Her family, despite being half-blooded, almost always took the car everywhere, for three reasons: brooms were incredibly dangerous (according to Pierre, Mahlioz's father), both parents knew how to drive but only one knew how to fly, and Mahlioz was absolutely terrified of heights. So the car was definitely the favorite mode of transportation. The young Slytherin was glad to have come home for Easter - it was nice to have some alone time, and hang out with Reltyl and her mother. But now she was going to see some of her school friends outside of school (...awkward), and though she wondered how it was going to go, she was excited.
Reltyl, on the other hand, had been grumpy ever since they'd heard they were going to the Dupont manor. For years, they'd been looking forward to the day they would get to step onto the Hogwarts express. For years, they'd been imagining Hogwarts and magic and learning to fly on a broom. Only to be told that would never happen. They had turned eleven in January, without any magic instances whatsoever. They were a squib.
They had accepted that fate a while ago, but being forced to go to a pureblood Easter feast with all of their sister's magic friends felt like salt in a wound. Alarian, their mom, had told them they could stay home, but Mahlioz had begged for them to come with her and Reltyl couldn't bear making her sad. Even if she was luckier than them, had gotten magic, it wasn't her fault, and they were still best friends. They forgave her. It was still difficult, though. They were sure they were going to be made fun of by some stuck-up pureblood. Magic was in the air on this Easter morning, and they weren't able to take part in it.
"We're nearly there," Alarian said with a smile in her voice. Reltyl groaned as Mahlioz looked up excitedly. "It's been quite a while since I've been to one of these kinds of events. Don't tell your grandmother, but I have to admit purebloods do make some good parties." Mahlioz rolled her eyes. Her mom would definitely be catching up with one of her friends' mom very soon.
Once they were out of the car, they were led into the manor and then outside, where many picnic blankets and a few people were waiting. Alarian didn't miss a beat before she walked up to some fellow adults and began chatting like they'd known each other their whole lives, leaving Reltyl and Mahlioz alone. The two walked around, exploring the place. "You're the expert here," Reltyl whispered to their sister, obviously a little intimidated. "Not really," she answered with a grimace. "There isn't really anyone I know well... I've just seen them around." But she decided to say hello to them anyways, waiting for someone she knew better to arrive. She'd heard Rita Su would be coming, and she was looking forward to talking to her again.
After greeting Beatrice Dupont and Duvessa Ember, Mahlioz headed towards the egg decorating stations, where Nora Carie already seemed to be, while Reltyl went over to say hi to the horses, and ate some of the candy at the picnic blankets. "Hi," Mahlioz said as she approached the fellow Slytherin. "Are you decorating eggs? Can I join you?"

Nora's egg sat in her hands, though you could hardly say it looked like one anymore. Her original plan was a simple pattern-- just strips of light purple and silver with a green flower--but one of the petals ended up being bigger. So, in her mind, the only logical solution was to make the other ones just as big. Except, one was still bigger, so she adjusted the others again. You can imagine what happened next. Nora continued adjusting and adjusting, until there was no room left to adjust. Now, she stared down at the mess, completely frustrated.
With a huff, she grabbed a kleenex from her bag and dabbed the egg. After a few seconds, she tucked the kleenex under her arm and examined the egg. Huh. Not so bad, Nora thought, putting down her paintbrush. The dabbing had added a watercolour look to the egg, turning it from a failed flower to a purposeful mix of colours. Or, at least, she hoped. Gingerly, she put it back on the table and picked up a different egg from the bunch. This time, Nora decided, she would go for something simpler. Like a star. Wait, no, that would be worse. Isn't it funny, she mused to herself, When even a flower or a star isn't simple enough? Fine, then. Just stripes. Picking a dark green from the paints, she decided to stick with her silver and do a kind of Slytherin theme. Who knows, maybe this one would actually look decent.
As Nora started to paint, she started humming to herself. It was a shame her parents had insisted on her leaving her headphones behind, for music would have been nice to have as she painted. However, as Nora hummed the chorus of Taylor Swift's Love Story, she was interrupted by a voice behind her.
"Hi," Mahlioz said, approaching Nora's table. She only vaguely remembered the girl, only that she was also in Slytherin. "Are you decorating eggs?"
"I'm trying to," Nora responded, chuckling a bit as she held up her most recently failed experiment. It was going better than the first one, but nevertheless.
"Can I join you?" added Mahlioz, and Nora nodded, happy for the company. She'd wanted to approach the others, but her anxiety kicked in every time she considered it.
Tipping her head, she added, "What are you going to paint? By the way, I don't recommend flowers." Tapping her first egg, Nora sighed, "Good things did not happen when I tried."

______________________ ______________________ Part I ✦ At home
Bailey was at home, in Leeds. It was a beautiful easter morning, and bailey had so many things to do. She was grateful she did not have not have to worry about going to church, as they had gone to the Midnight Mass the previous night.
Bailey yawned, and stumbled downstairs for some breakfast. Her three brothers were being... well, boys, and were as loud and chaotic as ever. Bailey did not mind much thought, as she was just happy to be with them.
Her father was making pancakes at the stove, and bailey sat down to eat. After finishing her pancakes, she returned to her room + bathroom to get ready for the Easter party. Bailey was going alone, as her family remained at home preparing for their easter celebrations that would take place later that evening.
Bailey changed into a cute easter outfit, consisting of green spring time pants, a cute cream blouse that looked like the top half of a princess dress, white platform shoes, and some gold butterfly themed jewlry - a few rings, a bracelet, and a set of dangly earrings.
All ready and with her hair curled and a little braided, Bailey set off. She hugged her parents and brothers, and slipped her phone that she used when she was home into her bag that also held her wand, and other miscellaneous items.
Part II ✦ At the Dupont Manor
Bailey was now ready, and when she arrived at the party, she was quite excited. She was led into the garden, and honestly bailey was shocked. the house was gorgeous, and very well maintained.
Bailey smiled at the few people already there, at her classmates that she saw scatted around. Bailey decided to start with the easter egg decorating, and thus approached the table with curiosity, and excitement. Bailey settled down there, and started decorating an egg.

Dupont Easter Feast
Rita had been invited to a Easter party at Bea Dupont`s family in Scotland, by her friend who also agreed to attend the spring ball with the black-haired Second Year Hufflepuff beater, Roro Griffith. The black-haired Second Year Hufflepuff beater was definitely excited for Easter, with the egg hunting and decorating, chocolate eggs, and adorable Easter bunny, Easter was an absolutely exciting favorite for everyone that enjoyed a bit of fun, including the black-haired Hufflepuff beater herself. As for Bea Dupont herself, Rita was actually not that familiar with her, and the only time the black-haired Hufflepuff first-string beater saw the Slytherin girl was when she accidentally fell into the great lake and luckily ended up to be fine. Anyway, obtaining the permission to come to the party in Scotland by her parents, the black-haired Second Year Hufflepuff beater got in her dad Gary`s car and they travelled to the Dupont`s Manor in Scotland.
When Rita finally arrived at the Dupont`s Manor after travelling from London for quite some time and waved goodbye to her parents, which obviously could not come due to being muggles, she was excited to find out there had been quite a few familiar faces there. Duvessa, the Slytherin girl with a rat named Bouncy she had seen a few times, Mahlioz, another Slytherin girl with dark skin she had a very intriguing chat with on the train back to school earlier this year, as well as Bailey, the 3rd year Ravenclaw girl she had seen around school for too many times during clubs, errands, and other activities. However, her ball partner Roro had not come yet, but Rita believed her younger housemate would come very soon in a few minutes. Anyway, the black-haired Hufflepuff beater decided to walk up to her three friends and nice acquaintances, as well as Bea Dupont, and waved to them to say hi.
"Hi, Bea, Bai, Mahlioz, and Duvessa! Fancy seeing all of you and happy Easter! How are you girls feeling today and are you excited for the party? Thanks for organizing this party and inviting all of us, Bea! I believe we will all have fun at this party!" Rita waved to the 4 girls with a friendly smile on her face, then just stood somewhere to wait for more people to come, especially one particular young Hufflepuff girl named Roro. If nothing went wrong at this party, it was going to be a fun party, and Rita just hoped there was not going to be anything wrong at this party.

Joseph sat in the back of his mother's car wearing a ridiculous suit (though it was probably still better than the dress robes his dad wanted him to wear). He had insisted that he wear casual clothes to the Dupont Easter feast but of course his father didn't listen.
"This is a formal event. You need to dress smartly. We have to impress the other families." he had said but Joseph had one more trick up his sleeve.
He would wear his casual clothes inside his formal ones and take them off during the car ride.
When they arrived, there was a few people at the gates who Joseph guessed were the Duponts. As he got off the car, he was greeted by the Dupont Family.
"Hi. Thank you for inviting us! Nice to meet you all." greeted Joseph. He made his way inside.
Joseph's been to enough family gatherings to know that it only took one word to describe it: BORING. He hoped this feast was nothing of the sort.
"Let's see what we got for entertainment here. Egg decorating and pony riding."
Egg decorating was immediately out as Joseph had absolutely no artistic talent. Pony riding was fun, but he didn't feel like after the argument with his father. So, Joseph went over to the seating area and sat down on a blanket assigned to his family. Along the way grabbing a drink (non-alcoholic of course) from a passing butler.

Gathering her equipment, she set it around her and lit the candle, before holding the utensil, called a Kistka, into the flame for a few moments. She then scraped some of the black wax into the Kistka, picked up an egg, and started drawing on it as the wax melted on the hot metal and dried again on the egg. Once she was done her drawing - a little wonky, but she liked it nonetheless - she dipped the egg with the wax lines on it into a glass with mixed water and yellow dye. She then went through the process again, dipping the egg in orange dye, and then again, with green dye. When she was finished, she peeled all of the dried wax off of the egg, revealing a beautiful green, orange, yellow and white decorated easter egg. It was nowhere near perfect, but you know what? She didn't mind. She loved it anyway.
Another girl, with blonde hair, had come over to the table by that time. Mahlioz had seen her around a lot, and heard some rumors, so she knew her name (which was rare, even for well-known people, because mostly Mahlioz just stayed inside and read). She was Bailey Glade, a third year Ravenclaw, and Mahlioz found herself feeling quite shy. It was obvious to her that Bailey was really popular, and just being in her vicinity felt weird to the first year. But she didn't want to be rude, and it wasn't really the Ravenclaw's fault anyway, so she said "Hello," with a smile.
That's when Mahlioz heard a voice that she recognized all too well. Her head spun around with a grin on her face. "Rita!" she exclaimed, getting down from her seat and running to greet her friend. "How are you?" She could tell Reltyl, still sitting on the picnic blanket eating candy, had flashes of jealousy in their eyes. But it wasn't up to them to decide whether Mahlioz would have friends. She knew they were getting bored, but it wasn't her fault. And she was too glad to see Rita to do anything about it. They could go meet people on their own, they weren't shy.
Mahlioz wondered where this day would go... there were already many people, how many had been invited, she wondered? Well, she'd see where it took her!

Wax container, wax and candle
A bunch of dyes of different colors (they are basically colored powder that you mix with boiling water and vinegar to make the dyes)

Dupont Easter Feast
Action: Meeting @Irene Dockert
Apinya sat off to one side with her egg, quietly decorating it away from all the chatter and bustle of the main table. She didn't know why she had been invited, and she suspected that Beatrice had just sent out invitations to the whole year. After all, she didn't even know the girl. Why would she invite someone like her to an Easter Party? Still, it was something to do during the holidays, and she was craving something, anything, to link her back to the magical world of Hogwarts, her home. She had spent time reconnecting with her Muggle friends, and tears had been shed, but something wasn't quite the same between them.
She looked back at the table where the others stood, chattering and gossiping. They all seemed like friends, and here she was, knowing nobody there, and probably looking rather sad. She tried to keep her mind off it and focus on decorating the egg in her hands, but she couldn't help but feel especially lonely. She had noone. No friends, no family, noone. A tear rolled down her cheek and she brushed it away angrily. No, you will not cry here Apinya. Not in public. What would the others think of her?
