Dance for Love (Zella Day)
"I just wanna dance for love..."

Sirius Black's birthday parties were the equivalent of the biggest, loudest Quidditch match a wizard or witch could imagine. The boy was well known (for a reason), and part of that popularity meant that his parties, and especially his birthday parties, had to be the event of the year. Of course, throwing parties like that fueled his popularity and in return, the parties got wilder and wilder. This year was going to be his last at Hogwarts and that only meant one thing:

Sirius Black's surprise birthday party was going to be the most epic party in years.

So, every single wizard and witch found themselves getting ready on a lovely Saturday night after classes ended in their dorm, preparing for the event of their lives.

Callisto Claire was no different. The only issue was that her friends were divided in two houses that didn't get along with each other all that much. Thankfully for her, Narcissa had devised the perfect plan. Callisto was going to get dressed in their dorm and after a tedious examination of her outfit that could only rival the NEWTs, she was going to be allowed to leave her dorm and go put on makeup and fix her hair in Lily's dorm.

"I'm so conflicted!" Narcissa exclaimed, looking at the dress Callisto was wearing. "This dress is gorgeous, but I feel like it's too long for the party."

"Try the beige one." Regulus suggested, looking through the girl's closet curiously. "Oh, look! A hat!"

The boy put on the hat and plopped down on the bed, Narcissa throwing a silk scarf around his neck, "My name is Callisto Claire, and I am in love with a Gryffindor for some reason. He's very tall, so I naturally want his babies. Blah blah blah, potions blah blah baking blah Lupin-"

"Are you done?" Callisto raised an eyebrow, the slight lisp from her retainer making her sound less intimidating than usual.

"What did you thay?" Narcissa teased, putting a brown coat around her shoulders. "Thorry, my retainer is making me thound weird."

"You are dumb." Callisto sighed, trying to suppress her laughter at the sight. "This dress?"

"Yeth." Regulus confirmed, shaking his head. "I like it."

Callisto got into the bathroom and put on the beige dress, letting the red, longer one on the hanger. She walked out of the bathroom and turned to the two Slytherins who were inspecting her like hawks.

"A little birdie told me Lupin will not be joining the party." Narcissa stated, making Callisto knit her eyebrows in confusion. "Oh, he'll probably just faint when he sees you, so it would be harsh of us to expect him to actually come."

"Unless the party involves just you two." Regulus added. "This is it, Claire. You passed!"

"It took you fourteen dresses and three random other outfits, but you did it." Narcissa smiled. "Now go, Claire; before Evans-Potter comes to find you here again."
