"How was Hogwarts this term, girls?" Mrs. Parkinson asked.
"Good. There's an annoying teacher called Umbridge though." Adeline told her, placing her coat on the stand.
"Umbridge isn't that bad.." Pansy announced.
Adeline looked at her as if to say 'Are you serious?'
"Go on girls, go unpack. The ball's in two days so you have plenty of time to recover." Mr. Parkinson told them. "What would you like to eat tonight?"
"Adeline can choose, I don't care." Pansy said.
"Then we can have... Shepard's pie?" Adeline asked.
Mrs. Parkinson nodded.
Adeline went upstairs to unpack.

"Girls." Mrs. Parkinson called. "I picked out some dresses for you. Choose which one you'd like for tonight!"
Adeline ran downstairs.
Pansy came trailing after.
"I want the prettiest one." Pansy announced.
"They're all pretty." Adeline told her. "I don't want something too much."
"Pick, then. You need to get ready." Mr. Parkinson told them.
"Can I have this one?" Asked Pansy, picking up a grey dress with rhinestones.
"Of course. Now go get ready!! We can't be late!" Mrs. Parkinson instructed. "Adeline, which dress would you like."
"I really don't mind." Adeline told her. "Which one would look nice on me?"
"Hmmm.." Thought Mrs. Parkinson. "I suppose this."
Mrs. Parkinson picked up a really pale blue dress, knee length. It had lace around the shoulder area and puffed sleeves.
"Wow! That's beautiful." Adeline smiled.
"Go put it on now, we can't be late!" Mrs. Parkinson hurried her off.

The Parkinson family sat in a black carriage.
"Where are we going?" Adeline asked.
"A ball." Pansy replied.
Adeline rolled her eyes. "I know that! I mean where's the ball?"
"Malfoy manor." Mrs. Parkinson replied. "You know Draco, don't you? Pansy?"
"Yes, I do." Pansy replied. "I think Adeline's met him."
"Yeah." Adeline replied. "Who else will be there."
"Most purebloods, I believe." Mr. Parkinson told them.
"The Zabini family, the Nott family, Crabbe, Goyle, Avery." Mrs. Parkinson smiled.
A while later, they arrived.
"Wow! It's so big!" Adeline said.
"Come onnnn, Adeline. Get out of the carriage." Pansy pushed her.
"Alright, alright!"
"Hi, Pansy, uh Adeline." Draco greeted them.
"Hi." Pansy said.
"Hello!" Adeline smiled. "Can we go into the ballroom?"
"Adeline! You need to wait until we're invited in!" Pansy muttered to her.
