The light made two mistakes first they named the wrong person their savior a mistake that could be overlooked, second, they forgot all about the real savior in favor of the child they deemed as their savior. There are whispers of the dark lord retur...
Every year the ministry of magic hosts a grand charity ball to which everyone important in society is invited. One could witness people from all backgrounds in this event the light side, the neutral, and the dark. This is the only day when everyone is expected to forget the division and act polite to all. However, if one noticed properly one would be able to witness the politics of the high society constantly at play. The event is not only the perfect place for members of the three factions to mingle but it is here that new alliances are made, politics discussed and most importantly jabs are thrown most politely. The ball might be held for all the right reasons but people come to it for the wrong reason, to show the wizarding society who is on top of the ladder, who will rule the ball and win the dirty game of politics played in this room.
The ball was held at the perfect time just a few days before the opening of the school meaning young witches and wizards could enjoy the event just as much as the adults. If the politics of the adults were not enough to keep things interesting the one that goes on between the young does entertain. The politics of the young might not seem as important as that of the old but it was cause it could decide your place at Hogwarts in the coming term, it could make you or break you.
The ball is also a competition as there is no pre-decided charity to that all the donations from the ball would go. It would be the honor of the winner of the ball that is the person with the highest donation to decide what charity or how the money can be used for the betterment of the wizarding society. The winner is also given a gift which can vary from a coveted painting, fay jewelry, and goblin weapons to anything very unique and precious. This award and honor have gone to the Malraux family for close to a decade now and they did not seem to stop anytime soon for the Heiress of the family was more competitive than either of her parents.

The theme this year seemed a little off as it seemed to be revolving around the Potter family which was now one of the most talked-about families in the country, who would finally be joining the event after about a decade and it could be seen from the extra work they put up in the décor not that it looked better than the other years, in fact it looked worse, such that even a fool could notice it the extensive use of Lilies for an event like this. On most occasions, the ministry would use the more exotic flowers but looked like they bought down their usual standards this year in respect of Lily Potter the woman to birth Harry Potter.
The ball had already begun and was in full swing. You could see the games begin and it looked like the light was winning without much challenge, what with everyone from the ministry and the neutrals trying to get a look at the boy who defeated the dark lord. The light was beaming with happiness for finally they would win after all these years and not even the Malraux would be able to beat them this year. Dumbledore who was near the family could be seen doing all the talking with the weird grandfatherly twinkling brighter by the second. The only thing he was upset about was that Cordelia did not show up as it meant he would have to wait to put his plans to action, after all today was supposed to be the day that she becomes a pawn for him. While upset he did not let it ruin his mood for he would eventually get the girl and right now was supposed to be about basking in the glory of light and telling people why they should follow him and the light, not knowing he lose loose all the spotlight soon and the game for Cordelia Regina Malraux never losses.
