Celeste sat in front of her vanity with a robe around her while Druella stood behind her, curling her hair with her wand.

She got let out of the hospital wing this morning and was now getting ready for Slughorn's party.

Sierra sat in the vanity next to Celestes, also getting ready for the party. Sierra was average at potions and was only in the slug club because her father was a high ranking ministry official and her brother was brilliant at potions.

"Celeste please let me do your makeup you looked so pretty last time" Anabel pleaded

"I swear makeup spells are the only spells you're good at" Druella mumbled and Celeste laughed.

"Well considering i won't be allowed to work and will have to sit at home all day and look after my children while my husband goes out and has all the fun i suppose i won't need to be good at any other spells will i" Anabel huffed.

"Your husband will also probably beat you," Sierra added while applying lipstick.

"As long as he doesn't do what my father did to me to my children then i don't care if he beats me, i'll hit him right back if he tries." Anabel scoffed.

Anabel mentioned things like that about her father often, none of them asked her to elaborate. They were scared to. They all had guesses, of course, and most of their guesses were close to the truth but they could never believe someone as carefree and happy as Anabel endured such horrors.

Anabel changed the subject quickly like she always did when she spoke about her father.

"Druellaaa when will you be finished with her hair i want to do her makeup" The blonde complained

"Im nearly done, stop whinging Anabel" Druella said

After what seemed like hours of Druella fussing over her hair and anabel fussing over her makeup she was finally allowed to change into her dress.

It was a beautiful thing, she had bought it in Diagon alley this summer, with the obscene amount of money her father had left her in his will. She would have killed him sooner if she'd known how much money she'd gain from burning the old fuck into a crisp.

It was back velvet and floor length with diamond straps for sleeves which she paired with matching diamond earrings and necklace that she stole from a shop in muggle london. Just because she has money doesn't mean she has to spend it, plus the fact she loved the thrill of stealing. She and Tom used to do it all the time when they were younger. Stealing everything from packets of sweets to watches and wallets.

Celeste then borrowed heels from Celina and a clutch from Anabel.

"Are you ready?" Celeste asked Sierra, turning to find her in a stunning green silk dress with her usual gold jewellery and a bag that she also borrowed from Anabel. That girl has too many bags for her own good.
