Halloween Haunted Castle Event! Open to Everyone!
While she wasn't particularly keen on parties, she was set on saving wildlife. Everyone else seemed to rake in the galleons by throwing large events, no matter the scandals that erupted from them, so why couldn't they? Nora had conservatory's committee for quite some time now, and being the youngest by a good forty years, had devised this plan as a new and fresh way of funding. It helped greatly that she had friends that had access to some of the best party planners (or that she could twist Charlie Spinnet's ear until he helped her out), and things seemed to have turned out well. So far.

For the brave at heart, there was a grand maze that made its way throughout the haunted castle. Guests would be offered clues to get themselves to the ballroom, and if they were truly lost (as Nora was sure was to occur), for just a small donation (it's for charity), any money dropped into a clue box would light up a blue path down the correct route to lead the way out. With all the Gryffindors that Nora had put on the guest list, she was sure they were going to triple their goal.

There was a simpler route than the maze, which was simply to walk through the double doors to the dance floor. Nora was currently wavering between the two, having run out of pamphlets to give out at the front entrance therefore giving her no excuse to join the festivities. She felt rather exposed, as Delilah had stolen her cloak, and when someone tapped her shoulder she jumped nearly a foot in the air.

"Bloody hell!" she let out, spinning around. "You scared the life out of me!"

Graeme!

Giada had really, really needed a day out.

The baby was due to arrive in two weeks, and while it was wonderful to finally be so close to meeting their new little one, Giada did not think she'd maintain her sanity until then. There was only so much a person could take, it felt like she'd never be able to sleep right, or walk right, or eat right, and---she hated complaining, she did. She did! She'd gotten very good at it, but she hated it!

Things in the Dorny household had gotten a bit better. Graeme was no longer banished to the couch, and they'd been able to focus on just them and their growing family. Their flat was way too small for Graeme, Jackson, two dogs, and a new bundle of joy, but the business was doing well, so there were hopes of maybe, at some point, finding a house. A house! Things to focus on and keep her mind off of being a miserable pregnant woman without her sister to help her along.

Giada let out a big sigh, glad that she'd charmed her boots before they'd left to be extra cozy. Even just a little bit of dancing wore her out, and she stood against a pillar while Graeme returned with their drinks. She'd avoided the magical maze, but even the dance hall felt a bit like the walls were shifting and changing with all the elaborate decorations. Who knew if Graeme would even be able to find her?
