Halloween Gala - Open to All! for the 31st



Henry had shaken more hands tonight than he had in his entire career as a quidditch agent. It seemed like everyone was in agreement; the charity was a great idea and this fundraiser was turning out to be a huge success. Henry was the first to turn the talk to his brother, telling those who approached him that Seth was the mind behind it all, but apparently his brother had been boasting the exact opposite, and Henry was receiving praise he didn't normally receive.

It could really make a bloke feel like a million galleons, to tell you the truth.

Standing at a corner of the dance floor to get a good view of things, Henry felt someone slink particularly close to him and he smiled down at his glowing girlfriend. While it had taken Henry about a week to be able to talk normally without a stutter after Heidi had revealed the news, he was now brimming with pride in just about all aspects of his life.

"Are you having a good time?" he asked, putting a hand to her lower back. Henry had been scolded to not fret as much, so he refrained from asking if she was tired and needed to sit, or go home! He'd go home if she wished. "The band should be starting up again soon."

Odette sighed, dropping both her hands to her sides. While this party was rather impressive (especially coming from Seth), nothing seemed to spark her just enough to enjoy herself. Which was actually somewhat sad, because there was a very extensive food and drink bar she had forced herself to walk by multiple times in hopes of finding something worth the calories. But, alas. It seemed her longing for a certain astrologer turned teacher's presence was getting the best of her.

Touching her touched her mask that she had put on just to appease Seth, Odette adjusted it to uncover her eyes. At least she knew Terry and Anna had enjoyed the night. Luckily they were still young enough that their Halloween ended well by eight and included Odette carrying Anna (who had been the cutest cupcake she had ever seen), and Terry tiring out early enough to also want to be carried. Her parents were at the house with them now until she returned....

How much longer until it was socially acceptable to leave? She glanced down at her watch. Too long. Letting another sigh pass through her lips, Odette lazily turned to continue to wander around the room until she ran into someone she knew.

It was a good thing that Noah was an excellent secret-keeper. With some help from Drystan, he had procured the proper time, location, and ticket (and he'd even found out what Odette would be wearing, somehow--) for this event without raising any suspicion. Even with Wadcock acting like a normal human being, Noah had not wanted to risk having his name on the guest list and then have Seth casually mention it to Odette. Noah rarely got to surprise his wife with anything, and hopefully he was enough of a surprise for her tonight.

Hogwarts had been an amazing experience. Noah wouldn't deny the nerves he had before going, which Odette had all but slapped out of him. His main concerns were that his students were not going to take him seriously enough to learn, or even want to learn, but he found that the younger students were still scared enough of authority to listen to his every word, and the older students were in the class because they wanted to be. He even had a few students who lingered afterward, or during his study sessions. Noah actually felt like he was making a difference at the school.

But it did have its downsides. He missed Odette terribly, and it was really heartbreaking to think about not seeing their children for weeks on end. He made sure to send treats and gifts and letters to Terry and Anna, but he deeply wished for more time with the kids. Tonight however was for Odette, and Noah hoped he could make her night a memorable one. He watched her walk around aimlessly for a bit, knowing she would be plotting her escape soon. Now he had to act.

With a swiftness he'd redeveloped at Hogwarts, Noah managed to quickly make his way through the crowd without so much as a shoulder bump. He felt like a different man, a professional, a mysterious figure and he would allow himself to play this out. He came up to Odette's side a smirk of great pleasure on his lips,

"My, my, you're looking lovely tonight, MacFarlan," Noah said into her ear, his eyes casting out to the party, "So why the long face?"

If her heart hadn't been pumping properly before, it certainly was now. No matter how smoothly he could have approached her, Odette still would have leaped (though later there would be complete denial of it) in her skin at her husband's sudden close proximity. She just hadn't been expecting someone to lean over in her ear after spending most of the night alone, especially not Noah of all---

Wait.

Reeling, Odette turned and unclenched at the same time. It only took a few seconds for her to recognize his face under the mask. But-- what was he--- as swiftly as the questions sprouted, she pushed them aside; she could really care less. The fact that he was here and it had felt like so long when it really hadn't been and---

She had never really been the kind of person to enjoy surprises-- Odette had always much rather known what was going on than be in the dark, but somehow she did not feel that way now. In fact, she actually felt like she was about to cry. But in a good way. And it was silly, because there was no reason why, but once she was able to get over the shock, she felt her face heat up and her eyes bulge.

"Noah!" Odette blurted, not even attempting to control herself. He was here! Her superbly intelligent, professor by day astrologer by night of a husband had come all the way over-- she would be visibly upset about him leaving school later and simply be secretly pleased instead. Ah!

An awkwardly huge smile formed on her face, and Odette quickly jumped to Noah to burying herself into him. Familiar smells (and taste-- mmm) engulfed her, and she signed contently.
