Riley gave a laugh also when the young Slytherin freaked out over the price, he couldn't really blame her. However, he knew it was different because he grew up in this type of environment and around people who did treat money like it meant nothing at all, however, he had come to realize the value of money over the years and liked to get the best deal available for the amount that was sent to him monthly. He also liked to keep a savings pile, just in case anything were to happen with his family. He knew that he still had a trust fund that was set up for him to receive upon his graduation that not even they could touch, but it made him feel more comfortable to have something put away for himself. "I think he knows, but I think it's more a label thing, like it's some status symbol or something." he shrugged.

It was a status symbol, not that Max had needed to be told that, anyway. Of course it was. All of the posh pure-blood families were like that—the ones who valued purity and weren't “traitors” to their good names. She was willing to bet the cost of Mr. Fudge's bottle of alcohol that he would have been disgusted to know that his children were in such close proximity to someone like her—not that it mattered that she had never met Fenrir Greyback in her life.
The opinions of people like that were frustrating, though she'd learned to live with them instead of arguing with their views. She knew that she had no control over who her father was, just like Riley didn't have any control over the fact that his father was probably spending a good amount of his inheritance on overpriced bottles of alcohol.
“Do you… get on with your dad, then?” Max asked, making sure that her tone conveyed that she didn't just mean the usual parent-child respect dynamic. She was beginning to think that there might have been some friction, but she wasn't going to jump to conclusions.

Did he get on with his dad? What a question for a party during which he was already one drink deep. perhaps he would need a few more before he was fully ready to tackle this subject. Was he close with his dad? No. Not at all. He couldn't really remember the last time he had a conversation with his dad that didn't involve his marks in school, or how important it was to marry a pure blood girl, or listening to him rant at dinner over a variety of topics, none of which kept Riley's interest.
"Uh... no, not really, like we'd never be friends or anything." he admitted. Of course, that didn't mean that he didn't respect his parents and still feel the sense of loyalty to his family and the family name. "My mum's a little different, though." he admitted, not really wanting to mention that his mom was different because she was lonely due to being at home all day with no children and a Husband who worked all the time. So she actually took interest in her kids besides just throwing money at them when they asked for it, or, nodding along whenever they spoke but not actually taking any of it in. "You get on with your parents?" he asked, curious to hear her answer.

Riley replied to her, saying that, no, he didn't really get along with his father—“like we'd never be friends or anything,” he said. Max tried to picture someone with Riley's father's status being friends with their children and couldn't do it. She still considered her mother and stepfather her parents and not “friends”. They weren't the type of people who let their children do whatever they wanted, but she didn't think that parents were supposed to be like that, either. In short, she didn't mind spending time around them.
“My mum's a little different, though,” Riley added. Max remained curious as to what he meant but didn't say anything one way or another. Riley hadn't elaborated, so, unless he did, she wasn't going to ask.
“You get on with your parents?”
“Yeah,” Max nodded, assuming that he meant the parents with whom she actually lived and not her biological father. She clashed with them occasionally, like any teenager, but, when she was at home, she was the oldest of three. “My mum works at the Apparition Test Centre, but my stepdad is a veterinary surgeon. He's a Muggle,” she said, not that it made any difference to her. “He takes care of pets. Dogs and cats, mostly. We've got two dogs, a cockatiel, and my cat.” That number didn't include the other animals that her stepfather occasionally brought home from his practice, either.

While Riley had been enjoying the conversation between himself and the younger Slytherin girl, he found himself anxious and interested to do another round of the party, he wanted to walk around a bit, observe other habits and maybe talk to some friends, he noticed his friend, Madison dancing with a guy that Riley didn't recognize well and was keen on saying Hi to the both of them. Besides wanting to stretch his legs a bit after having stood in the back for a while, he wanted another drink. He was interested to see how the alcohol would effect him. He listened to Max explain her family situation and her pets before he spoke. "A cockatiel, huh? That's one of the birds that can talk right? Or am I completely wrong?" he asked with a smile. A few moments later he decided to make his exit, at least for the time being. "Hey, I think I'm going to get a refill and walk about a bit. Are you good here?" he asked, wanting to make sure she didn't mind his departure before heading off to the drink table.

Zita was really feeling the music as she danced. Or maybe that was the alcohol that she felt blazing through her. Either way she was having a blast moving in the middle of the dancefloor The crazy girl introduced herself as Doni and Zita grinned as she continued dancing just before the girl's dancing became seemingly crazier. She was throwing her limbs all over the place but Zita couldn't quite judge her for it. At the very least she was having fun and it showed on her face. Zita laughed along with her, the alcohol making her significantly gigglier than she usually was. Doni then asked her and Lily who they both were and Zita turned to Lily with a snicker. "I think she's talking about us, Lily," there was a noticeable flush in her face. Whether it was just from normal sweating of dancing or the heat the firewhiskey had brought, she wasn't sure but she was having so much fun!

“A cockatiel, huh?” A cockatiel was different enough from the owls that most people owned, Max guessed, that it counted as interesting. “That's one of the birds that can talk, right?” Riley asked. “Or am I completely wrong?”
He wasn't completely wrong. Cockatiels were parrots, and some parrots were capable of mimicking human speech to the extent that it could seem that they were talking the way a person could. Mostly, they mimicked noises or whistled, but females—like hers—didn't usually talk.
Max was prepared to explain the behavior to Riley, but, before she could, he excused himself to go and get a refill of punch and walk around the party for a while. “Are you good here?”
Nodding, Max gave Riley a small smile in parting. “Yeah.” She wasn't going to stop him from having a good time just because she wasn't the most social person in the room.

Doni accepted Roxy's suggestion that drinking slowly helped the magic sink in, and placed her lips on the edge of the glass, but didn't move to tip it. So Roxy did, gently, enough to make sure she could drink - and not spill everywhere. Bless those Johnson-Weasley genes for the ability to pull that off. Lily bounced over and Roxy turned to grin at her, nodding as she asked if they were having fun. Zita showed up too, telling them to dance more. "Of course we're dancing!" Roxy protested, but she gamely accepted it as she span under Doni's arm. Doni dropped her hand to resume dancing, and Roxy ran it through her hair, fluffing it up as she shimmied and laughed. Dancing was so much better with this kind of music, and good friends. On which thought, she gestured for Adonia's benefit, because Lily was more focused on dancing than identifying herself.

Adonia took the sip as Roxy gently tipped the cup and grinned, laughing as soon as the cup was pulled away. "Well, aren't you talented!" she applauded. Then, they were out dancing and Adonia was giggling as Roxy spun under her arm and then fluffed up her own hair once her hands were free. Adonia wanted to do that! Before she did, though, Roxy introduced the other two. "Lovely!" Adonia said, going back to dancing. After a moment she lifted her hands towards Roxys magnificent hair and gave each side a little 'poof' with her hands and giggled. "Your hair is beautiful! Just like you," she complimented, beaming. lily luna potter@zita @roxanne

Liona watched the slight blush appear in Jamie's cheeks and she smirked. She liked her blush too but she didn't say that out loud. It took a short moment before Jamie answered that, yes, she would dance with her and Liona grinned, taking hold of one of the Hufflepuff's hands. "Perfect. To the dance floor then." she gave a slight tug on her hand, coaxing her to follow her out as she backed her way on to the dance floor. She didn't think it was a good idea to the pull her into the middle of everyone, she still seemed a bit hesitant. Instead, she picked a spot that was just on the outskirts of the group of dancers. It didn't take long for her to began moving once again to the new song that was playing around the room. She gave a wink and smile to Jamie, encouraging her to dance as well. This dance didn't require her to hold on to Jamie as they'd done in the Room of Requirement before but Liona was focused on Jamie just as she had been then.

@roxanne & @adonia & @zita
Lily must have zoned out for a second or two, because the next thing she knew, Zita was there as well and there was dancing going on. Though it was kind of in slow motion. She was sure the girl dancing with Roxy had introduced herself as well, but they were kind of still dancing together and Lily didn’t want to get in her cousin’s way. There were things she knew not to do, and preventing a little love wasn’t her shtick. Dancing with Zita would be fun though! They hadn’t really talked much upon the Hufflepuff’s entrance to the party. She didn’t blame the girl. There was a lot to see and do here. Loud music and loud people. Trying to take it all in right upon entry was a little difficult to do. The only reason Lily could was because she was made for this kind of thing. Except dancing in slow motion. She still couldn’t figure out why that was happening. “Nice to meet you too friend!” She finally yelled at the girl with Roxy. She was sure that conversation had long ended, but better to say something than stand there looking all goofy. “Zita!” Lily yelled. “Dance with me! We can’t let Roxy beat us.” This was a competition now. Maybe if she won the moving slow and spinning around would stop. Then she could go get more of that punch. That stuff was good!

She was dancing to the music with abandon when Roxy introduced both her and Lily to Doni who then proceeded to shout out how lovely it was. Zita was sure if she meant it was lovely to meet them, if their names were lovely or what but Zita grinned and waved in response. Lily wasn't responding very much and Zita assumed the red head was too into the music to answer back. She couldn't quite blame her, the current track was lively and made Zita never want to stop dancing. Doni and Roxy began to dance together, Doni in a much less crazy fashion than before at first, and she looked on in amusement as she continued to shake her hips and move to the beat. Lily seemed to snap out of it then, shouting at her to dance with her. Zita laughed out loud now. "I think we're totally capable of out dancing them," she snickered just before grabbing hold of Lily's hands, spinning her gently before moving under Lily's arm in a similar fashion that she'd seen the other two girls perform moments ago.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to give a quick update with this thread. It has been almost 2 months since it started, and I think it's about time we wrap it up! So with that, I'm going to be giving all of you until September 25th to finish up anything you need to do in the party before I send it off to the finished thread pile. Have any last minute dancing, boozing, or smooching to do? Then hop on it quick! Didn't get to do what you wanted to do? Don't worry! There's always next school year. I'm sure Lily has a back to school party already planned and ready to go.
Thanks!
