The huge, white tent sprawls on the lawn beside the lake. It has been transfigured there for a very special occasion. A stone walkway leads from the bar to the tent - the pavements are wide enough that ladies' dresses won't trail on the ground as they make their way to the entrance. Over the draped curtains of the entrance way is a large banner which reads "Happy 7th Birthday, Ingress".

Once inside, the honored guests will be in the midst of an enchanted ballroom. There are balloons drifting in bunches from the circular tables lining the sides of the large dance floor. Floating candlabras glow with gentle light from above. There are trees in large ornamental pots interspersed throughout sparkling with fairy lights from real fairies.

One long banquet table is positioned on along the side of the ballroom - there are treats of all description. Little finger sandwiches, chopped up fruit, cookies, cheese and crackers, and other child-friendly h'ors douerves are presented to make sure the dancers are sustained throughout the the party. There are large bowls of ice cream (kept cold with magic)and sundae fixings. Punch bowls of sherbet-flavored drinks await ladling into crystal goblets. But most impressive is the large birthday cake with blue, purple, and pink icing roses festooning it.

Ingress is busy greeting her guests in her gown - a birthday gift from Amy and Susan - but soon she'll be dancing to the music provided by the overlarge Gramophone in the corner, which is playing a wide array of dancing music from waltz standards to court music to pop hits of the 20th century.

Tom, who's pretty tired from the magical effort required to pull this off, is in the background making sure his little girl is having a perfect party, and Princess Amy is helping Ingress in her hostess duties.

Come in and enjoy the party!

"Nor will you." His wand is out now. "She will not accept a gift, and so be in your power."

"That has advantages over a title, I'm sure. For one, I doubt you've ever had to fear a revolution against you."

She gives him a small smile.

"It's a good one," says Mendanbar, as his mun wonders if Cimorene's mun is using the same Shakespeare insult generating site she is.

"But this is hardly suitable talk for a party, Cimorene. I don't suppose I could talk you into dancing with me."

Cimorene laughs loudly and applauds, "Wonderful! I think we would make a fine pair of court minstrels, Amy."

Yes. They would.

"It is just a simple thing. A bauble to give her delight."

His voice conveys only the sincerest wish to have Ingress be happy with the gift.

His eyes say otherwise.

"I quite thought so myself," says Cimorene proudly, as her mun agrees that it probably is the same. Because it is Fun.

"I suppose you could," she says, smiling. "But I thought you didn't care for balls and dancing," she teases.

"Good luck, buddy."

He gives Tom a final clap on the back and slinks off into the shadows. He heads as far away as possible from: areas where party food can be thrown on him, the dance floor, and the main thoroughfares that kids might chase each other along with plastic swords and the like.

Draco nodded, "That would be excellent. The next time I speak with him, I hope he'll have me attend more trips in his world."
