The Twice Witch (HP x TVD Crossover)

Chapter 22

After a week in Greece, Lia and Care were back and apparently invited to some fancy ball the Mikaelsons were holding.

So of course they were currently picking out dresses for the event. Caroline already had one given to her by Niklaus. Lia was definitely going to have to talk to him about giving her sister gifts.

Cordelia had never been the best at handling anyone Care was romantically interested in. She tended to scare them off but if a few minor death threats were enough for them to leave then they weren't worthy of Caroline.

Addy had invited Bekah and she was using magic to change the color and style of Rebekah's dress. Lia was helping to do the same for Kat while Caroline just watched and read a book from afar.

She should have been happy and for the most part she was but Esther Mikaelson coming back to life was not something Cordelia had been expecting.

She was claiming that she wanted her family to be together but Lia knew for a fact that she had wanted Niklaus and all his siblings dead when she had invaded her dream and Cor didn't believe for a second that she had changed her mind.

For now she would watch and learn but she had no doubt that she'd have to save the Mikaelsons from their mother. She had put too much effort in their survival to let them die now.

They all picked out their dresses and headed to the ball. Rebekah was wearing a pretty green dress and was chatting with Addy who wore her own elegant red dress.

Caroline of course wore the dark blue dress Klaus had given her and was trying not to laugh as Kat teased her about getting a dress from Klaus. Her dress was a stunning black.

Lia herself had chosen a lavender gown and was currently adding her pockets as they moved. Care sometimes thought her a little crazy for never being able to wear anything that didn't readily give her access to a handful of weapons but she had learned to be careful and she could never let her guard down.

Caroline came up beside her finally shaking off Katherine and grinned at her. "I've never been to a real ball before. What should I except?"

"I don't have much more experience than you. The only ball I attended was the Yule Ball and that was a while ago."

Caroline frowned slightly. "I'm still mad I didn't get to go to that. You could have snuck me in."

Lia rolled her eyes. They'd had this conversation plenty of times before. "I was busy making sure Potter didn't get himself killed during the tasks. The kid was hopeless, he needed my help."

Caroline just laughed and they finally reached the mansion. Lia and Addy had voted to apparate there but the others had decided they should walk instead.

Lia was pretty sure Bekah still wasn't a fan of apparition. It did take a while get used to.

They entered the party and at once all four Mikaelson brothers arrived annoyed at their sister's absence. "Where were you?"

Lia rolled her eyes at Niklaus. "Relax, Old Saint Nik. We were getting ready. I'm sure no one even noticed Bekah wasn't here."

He scowled at the nickname but didn't respond. The younger brother, Kol she presumed, seemed to find the nickname hilarious. "I don't believe we've met. Kol Mikaelson."

He stretched a hand out in greeting and she grinned reaching her hand out in turn. "Cordelia Forbes."

He grabbed her hand and placed a soft kiss on the end of it. Lia rolled her eyes at the gesture. "What got a pretty witch like yourself wrapped up with my brother of all people?"
