“Rae!” A voice called. I looked up, and noticed Lucian standing by the staircase with a group of other people i recognised from school. “Hello Sir. Ma’am,” he said to my parents, inclining his head in greeting, while his somewhat intimidating-looking grandfather shook my father's hand and gave a slight bow to Mother.

“Luci!” I gave a wide smile, the first in the last couple of days.

“Grandad, is it okay for us to take our leave? Wonder around?” Lucian asked.

“Don’t break anything. Dokby will stay by you,” the elder man said quickly, “Do not get into trouble. I mean it boy!”

“Elira, non pensare nemmeno di metterti nei guai, o ti manderemo a Durmstrang.” father said sternly, and I nodded, looking to the side while trying to discreetly roll my eyes.

Lucian nodded and walked along the hall, motioning for us all to follow.
“So, shall we go outside? Play some tennis? Explore the fields? Or go swimming now?” he asked, looking at us.
“I don't really mind..” I said, shrugging, “You guys decide.” I added, tucking a loose strand of hair away behind my ear.

'I hope we save the swimming for a bit later..' I thought, looking round me. 'maybe we could ditch the house elf before we get round to that, too.'

Rina already should know that the Cullens would attend a Ball for the rich, ancient and powerful pureblood's families, but that didn't changed the fact that she felt her last drop of hopes disappear when she saw them arriving to the Wesleys' manor. Despite her known feelings towards their youngest sister she decided that that wouldn't stop her from being polite and so she greeted them as best as she could. However there was no answer from the other side besides Thorn rolling her eyes. Or perhaps she didn't got the chance to reply before a tall man dressed in all black approached her, "Ahh, my beautiful sister has stooped down to hanging out with Halfbloods how disappointing" The man said resting his hand on Thorn's shoulder. “Hey!” She heard Luci slightly exalted voice as he put himself between her and Thorn's older brother, “Back off! Remember who’s roof you’re under!” He threatened. Ree felt a mix between concern and gratitude towards Luci. She didn't wanted to be the cause for a fight or to cause more trouble to her friend, " Luci...you don't need too!" She said in a whisper while softly closed her hand on the boy's arm. "Hi" Alfie finally said getting closer to his brother. The tall man in black greeted his brother back before turning his attention to Lucian, "Young master Wesley, pleasure to meet you. I'm Cullen, Basilisk Cullen happy to attend the party,” He introduced himself and to Irina's relief Lucian greeted him back by shaking the man's hand, “Mr Cullen. Happy to have you all here,” the boy said, “As happy as I am when I see the Hag I call tutor,” he added in German in a mutter. Irina felt the need to laugh, but she was able to control it just letting a chuckle escape while she rested her forehead on Luci's back to hide her face from the Cullens. "And you,” Basilisk continued and Ree felt the words coming to her. And so, she came from behind Luci to face the older man, "I've heard all about you, pity you haven't taken a liking to my sister. Then again, she deserves better than some Halfblood as a friend,” He said with a smirk splattered in his face. Irina smirk back at him in a defiant manner but she didn't had a chance to retort, Luci took his wand out and pointed at the man, “One more word!” he growled at him. "Lucian!" She started, but her voice was drowned out by a more serious and imperative, “Lucian Michael Bauer Mornstern!” Adrian snapped at his grandson, “You be respectful!” he warned him. "I'm sorry Mr. Wesley," Rina started feeling anxious, she didn't wanted to see Luci face unpleasant consequences just for being her friend, "It's my fault, please don't blame Luci...Lucian!" She pleaded, but her words meant nothing to non of the present there. Obviously they would all prefer if she wasn't there or at least if she kept invisible. “That is his opinion boy,” Lucian's grandfather continued, taking the wand from his grandson, “Sorry for my charge, Mr Cullen, he is quite irrational at times. Gets that from his father,” He apologized to the Cullens and Irina felt Luci's anger when he clenched his fists. Irina closed her hand in on of his, "Please calm down, it's okay!" She said softly to him.

"W-why don't y-you-" Thorn started stumbling in her words. To be fair with her, the girl seemed really upset with her brother's attitude and Rina felt confused with it. Wasn't the girl approving what her brother had said or was she also just concerned with appearances? "QUIET! I am not finished" Basilisk cut though his sister's words. But another man with long hair and also in all black clothes approached the group. Who is this now? Irina thought feeling a little exasperated. "Oh no, you are quite done, mister attitude,” He said to Basilisk and grabbing the man's ear. "Wait luv, I was only joking" Basilisk said trying to justify his manners. Irina covered her mouth with one hand to hide her laughter, the other hand tightening around Luci's. "Nope we talked about this, God I can't take you anywhere" The other man continued and Irina felt herself sympathize with him. "Ambrose Quinn at your service and also unfortunately married to him. Some people just can't understand that HALFBLOODS are the same as PUREBLOODS" He introduced himself ending with a wink in her direction. Irina finally uncovered her mouth and smiled back at him, "Thank you!" She said with her mouth but without muttering a sound. “What do you mean unfortunately? Oww!" Basilisk complained, but Ambrose just opted to ignore him this time. "So, I-I have no words" Thorn said looking embarrassed. "You don't have to say anything!" Rina said in a casual tone of voice. She wasn't sure about Thorn's ideas about everything that happened, growing up with such kind of person sure hadn't been easy, but...who was Thorn after all? She wasn't sure she ever want to know that.

"Swimming?" Alfie finally asked, as if putting an end to that sour conversation. “Yeah! Can you swim Alfie?” Luci chose to also take the opportunity to change the subject. Meanwhile Elira also showed up at the ball, “Rae!” Lucian called her and she and her parents got closer to them. “Luci!” El greeted him. "Good evening Elira!" Irina said to her with a smile.

After all the formalities and more warnings from his grandfather Luci had decided to invite all of them to leave the room,“So, shall we go outside? Play some tennis? Explore the fields? Or go swimming now?” He asked looking from one to another. Irina felt relieved with his question. She really wanted to get out of there and away from those people. “I don't really mind..” Elira started to answer to him, “You guys decide.”. "I'm with what the majority decide too. Personally I prefer to go explore the fields if you don't mind!" Rina said towards the group.

Lucian and Irina both greeted Beatrice and her Parents back. Beatrice smiled widely at Irina, who had become such a close friend to her over the past months. She really wanted to step closer and hug her friend, but now was not the time. Mr. Wesley walked in and greeted the Duponts as well. He shook her Father's hand and kissed her Mother's hand. Beatrice smiled politely and after her Parents greeted him, it was her turn. She cleared her throat, preparing herself to pack out her broken German. »Good Evening, it's a pleasure to meet you.« she told him, not sure if he even understood her. To be fair, Beatrice's German wasn't as bad as she made it out to be but she just wasn't as comfortable with it as when taking french or english. She smiled at the older man, even tho she didn't feel like smiling at him at all. The girl who Beatrice still didn't fully know the name off arrives as well, her brother who apparently was named Alfie walking with her. He had a stuffed animal with him even tho he already looked older, which Beatrice found very weird. What an odd family. The others greeted the girl as Thorn. Another guy who was dressed in all black arrived. He was tall and Beatrice immediately felt her mother's hand on her back. He did not great or aknowledeged the Duponts at all, not that Thorn had done so. Rude. Extremely rude. The first thing he said insulted Irina and Beatrice was immediately ready to pull out her wand and jump to that man's throat. But she obviously didn't. Lucian seemed like he would tho. The man was extremely rude and Konstantin Dupont laid a hand on his daughters shoulder, pulling her close to him and Alice as all three stepped away a bit. Konstantin and Alice Dupont had never had a good impression of the Cullen's and this only made it worse. Of course they were for Pureblood supremery as well, but they would have never shown it in this way or acted towards someone the way this man did. The word Mudblood would never leave their mouths as an insult towards someone or ever really. Beatrice knew this and appreciated it because her Parents did have a problem with people that weren't as high society as them or had the blood status muggle born. Gladly this didn't last too long, if it had then Beatrice would have been home with her Parents faster than she could say "Pureblood" or anything else. Soon everything was - kind of - back in order and fine.

More and more people arrived, The Lamacrafts with them. Beatrice kind of knew Elira, well she had at least seen her walk around Hogwarts, they were in the same house and both in the Narcissa Malfoy dorm. Everyone greeted each other, her Parents liked the Lamacrafts even tho they hadn't really met, well, not officially at least. Beatrice was allowed to step over to her friends again but her parents had a close eye on her. »Hello Irina and Lucian, again.« she said to the others and then turned to Elira. »Good Evening, I'm Beatrice.« she smiled a friendly smile and stuck out her hand for Elira to shake. After the formalities were finally over between everyone and almost no one fit into the entrance anymore, Lucian finally asked them to leave the room. You could get really claustrophobic in here. “So, shall we go outside? Play some tennis? Explore the fields? Or go swimming now?” Beatrice furrowed her eyebrows at this suggestion. That wasn't what she usually did at Balls. Elira told them to decide and Irina said she would personally prefer to go to the fields. Beatrice looked at all of them, confusion written over her face. »Uhm, I'm sorry, but play tennis? Go swimming? In Ball gowns? I don't think my parents would allow that, especially because this, uh, this gown or dress, whatever-« she gestured at herself, »Was one of my birthday present with these, uhm, family Heirlooms I'm wearing.« she pointed at the ring and necklace. »And they'd rip my head off it I got this dirty or lost something.« her tone was joking but she knew that it was the truth. »But I don't want to spoil your fun, please go have fun.« she turned to her parents and they were looking right at her. Then she turned back, smiling at the group in an attempt to make her features express a silent apology.
