The Princess Birthday Ball

[smallestopener]

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!

"Then we should plan, I need to schedule some time for myself and Master Tom, but we should plan for the trip to be soon. Perhaps in the next month?" He pauses, "Master Tom should be able to allow for you to come at your leisure. And I extend the same courtesy to you, if you have the means, please, do not think you need find me in order to visit my study, Riana knows you, she will let you into the library and keep my family at bay."

"Next month would be fine, other than my research work with Master Tom, my schedule's very flexible."

Draco then blinked, and asked with some wonder, "I thought I would need to find you? I know for the most part the only way to access if the person from there opens the door?"

"Master Tom has created a portal to my study." Salazar grins almost giddily.

"He is an Opener, as I mentioned before."

Draco's eyes widened at that, and he grinned some. "I knew about the Opener part, but not about the portal. That's brilliant."
