10: INTOXICATION

◤─────•~❉᯽❉~•─────◥

ANGELINA'S heels clicked as she walked down to the dungeons for her birthday celebration. She had a quick outfit switch, she replaced the lacy dress with a short flowy emerald green dress. She painted her lips a dark cherry color that complemented her skin tone flawlessly. She was getting late because she painted her nails a pretty green that matched her dress.

When Angelina left her dorm, all of her friends had left including Tom. They were celebrating her birthday at the slug club that meant all of the school's exceptional cases were attending.

Angelina stopped in front of a door, she smoothed out non-existent creases of her dress and was about to open the door.

"Invitation first, miss." It was Filch, the only known janitor at Hogwarts. He was a squib; the Filch's family had a traditional squib born at their humble house.

"Mr. Filch, I would love to show you an invite but this is my birthday party-."

Before Angelina could say something more the door opened," Ah Miss. Arlo, I thought you forgot your way here." Slughorn's body appeared from behind the door. He shooed Filch away and ushered Angelina inside the huge hall. It was decorated with the colors of Angelina's house. Angelina's lips quirked into a smile when she had a good look at everything. Everything was so precise and neat, she loved it.

"Sir, this is amazing." She looked at Slughorn with a grateful smile.

"Thank you, I merely provided the resources, your friends are very creative and devoted." Slughorn laughed.

"That they are sir." Angelina let out a warm laugh. "I better go and get my friends." Slughorn nodded and Angelina walked over to her Slytherin friends who had glasses pf butter beers in their hands.

"Here comes the birthday girl!" Abraxas exclaimed and some boys wolf whistled.

Angelina laughed and started to embrace everyone in hugs and thanked them for their kind wishes.

"You look beautiful, love." Tom rested his hands on Angelina's waist and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. She just chortled and returned the hug. Tom had added a tie and jacket to his outfit, girls from all houses looked at him with heart eyes, well until Angelina arrived and all the boys were about her only. Everyone got enveloped in small talk until it was time to cut the cake.

"Come on." Tom tugged at Angelina.

-

"Happy birthday Angelina!" Everyone cheered as made her wish and blew out the candles and did the honors of cutting the first slice of the cake.

The cake was huge, and it was silver on the outside and chocolate on the inside. Angelina loved it. She cut the first slice and brought it close to Tom's mouth, he was standing next to her, and he cradled Angelina's hand and took a bite out of the cake.

Everyone had placed their presents on the Slytherin table. Even though it was a party, each house had their own table that seated about fifteen to sixteen students. This was done to avoid any drama.

Slughorn had left after having two generous slices of the cake, she had saved a slice for Dumbledore as well, which a Gryffindor took to his office. Most of the students were dancing including Angelina. She was on the stage dancing with Abraxas, Leo and Callum. She swayed her hips and messed with her hair as the fast beat of the song made her be free. Most of the Slytherin boys were sat at their table, gawking at Angelina and her three boy-friends.

Tom was eyeing the boys, he knew Angelina wasn't stupid enough to sneak out with a boy but he still had to keep an eye out.

With what seemed like hours to the people waiting for the dance party to over seemed like a few minutes to the people who let their bodies loose to the music. Basically, the students who weren't dancing were bored and the students dancing were enjoying themselves.
