CHAPTER TWELVE
Days after the ball, Narcissa and Lucius had agreed for the pair of teens to have their friends come over for a few days. The grand Malfoy Manor, with its intricate architecture and sprawling grounds, was abuzz with excitement and anticipation. Angel and Draco had been planning this gathering for weeks, eager to enjoy some carefree time with their closest friends.
The arrival of Luna, Daphne, Pansy, Blaise, and Theodore brought an immediate burst of energy to the manor. Each friend was a whirlwind of unique personality and charm, contributing to the chaos and fun that quickly ensued.
As soon as the guests arrived, Angel and Draco ushered them into the grand living room. The room was decorated in a mix of opulence and comfort, with plush sofas, ornate chandeliers, and an inviting fireplace.
"Welcome to the madhouse!" Draco announced, grinning.
"It's going to be the best kind of chaos," Angel added with a wink.
Blaise, always the smooth talker, flopped onto a sofa and sighed dramatically. "I needed this. Honestly, the ball was so stuffy."
Pansy laughed, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "Well, now we can let loose. No more pretending to be prim and proper."
Theo, with his usual cool demeanor, leaned against the fireplace. "So, what's the plan, hosts?"
Draco exchanged a conspiratorial look with Angel. "First, we eat. Then, let the games begin."

Dinner was a lively affair. The house-elves had outdone themselves, preparing a feast that spanned the long dining table. Conversations overlapped, laughter echoed through the room, and playful banter filled the air.
Luna, ever the dreamer, looked around with wide eyes. "This place is magical."
"It's home," Draco said simply, but there was a note of pride in his voice.
As the meal wound down, Angel stood up, clinking her glass for attention. "Alright, everyone. We've got a lot planned for the next few days. But tonight, we thought we'd start with something fun. How about a game of Truth or Dare?"
A chorus of agreements followed, and soon the group was settled in the living room once more, ready for the game to begin.
The game of Truth or Dare quickly turned wild. Blaise dared Draco to run around the manor in his underwear, which he did with a mock salute and a lot of laughter. Pansy chose truth and revealed a hilarious story about accidentally hexing a professor. Luna dared Theo to dance on the coffee table, which he did with surprising grace.
Angel was dared to sing a song, and her clear, melodious voice silenced the room, leaving everyone in awe. As the game continued, the group grew even closer, their bonds strengthened by shared laughter and embarrassing confessions.
