Harry waited at the top of the Grand Staircase for Adeline to get there. A small bit of waiting, considering her dress probably weighed a fair amount, Harry turned around and saw her coming up the stairs. "So, you want to go to a real party?" He asked.
Harry took her hand and they both walked down to third class. "Harry, what if my father catches us?"
"He won't, trust me. And besides, it's not like the high and mighty Lucius Malfoy would dare walk down to 'Peasant's area'" Harry said.
Adeline laughed at his words because they were true. She couldn't imagine anyone in first-class traveling down here, except herself.

They reached third class and Harry guided her over towards Hermione and Ron.
Everyone looked towards Adeline's direction. Out of all the people down here, she was easily the richest, and some looked at her like she was the queen of England herself. She mentally cringed, she hated it when everyone stopped to stare at her and admire her like she was a piece of jewelry on display.
"What's she doing down here?" Ron asked. Harry quickly explained everything to them, and they just nodded.
Adeline took off her white opera length gloves and placed. them next to Hermione, asking before she did so of course.
Loud music was playing, people were having a good time, dancing and drinking. Adeline hadn't seen this many people having fun since her fifth year at Hogwarts, were Fred and George Weasley threw fireworks all over the castle, making Umbridge enraged.
Harry grabbed them some beers off of a table and they drank, Adeline downing hers in a matter of minutes. Harry looked at her. "What? You think a first-class girl can't drink?" She asked.
"No, I just didn't think you'd drink what us peasants have."
"I'm not royalty. You know that. Everyone here knows that."
"Now, let's dance instead of standing around here all night." Adeline said.
She grabbed Harry's hand and they stepped out to the place where many people were already dancing. "I don't know the steps." She said.
"Me neither, but just follow the music."
Harry grabbed Adeline's waist. "We're going to have to get a bit closer, like this." He continued.
They began to dance, Harry leading them both. "Wait, Harry, I can't do this."
"If I can, you can too."

After dancing for a while, both Adeline and Harry were exhausted. They went over to where some men were arm-wrestling, drinking, and smoking. Harry grabbed two drinks off the table and they both downed them.
