"I still don't understand why I can't come to Slughorn's Christmas Party. It's not like I'm doing anything just sitting in my room all night." Enzo pleaded, looking at his three friends who were all going to be in attendance.

"Perhaps because you weren't invited?" Theo laughed, causing Vera and Blaise to grin.

"Well Theo's my date, so you're going to have to grovel to Blaisey, not me." Vera bit back to Enzo, rummaging through her closet, the sound of hangers rattling around the rack filling the room.

Theo smirked as Enzo whipped his head around at Blaise. "Please." He batted his eyelashes, causing Blaise to quirk an eyebrow. "I'm sure ol' Sluggy is modern enough to have me as your date." He continued.

Blaise scrunched up his nose. "However lovely that idea sounds, I was going to ask Daphne to the party. Is it too late?"

"Better late than never." Theo chimed in, unhelpfully, as he checked his girlfriend out.

Putting away her disdain for the Greengrass family, Vera answered. "No, you're a very nice boy. I'm sure Daphne will say yes." To be completely fair and unbiased, Daphne was very shy and her family was the real problem. Blaise nodded, smiling at Vera.

"Hey!" Theo glared at her, grabbing her arm and pulling her into his lap. "Very nice boy?"

"Oh, get a room." Enzo sulked, angered that he wasn't able to go to this party.

Vera laughed softly, shaking her head. "Just because he's a very nice boy doesn't mean you aren't." She teased, kissing his cheek as she got out of his lap.

"Get. A. Room." Enzo simpered. "Couples all around me. I can't catch a break."

Vera sighed, ignoring Enzo, as she held up a lacy long sleeved purple dress up on her body.

"Perfect." Theo nodded, as he did for every single dress she pulled out.

"Too short." Vera groaned, spinning over to the boys. Enzo was sitting on Pansy's bed while Blaise and Theo were perched upon hers.

"What are we even going to do there?" Blaise asked, watching as Enzo sulked, Theo admired Vera spinning in the mirror, and he sat with his head resting on his arm.

"I'm not really sure..." Vera admitted, picking out a silky green dress from her closet before shaking her head and putting it back. "I hope it's somewhat interesting, so this evening is redeemable."

"I would gladly take your place, you ungrateful woman!" Enzo said snidely, crossing his arms. When Vera shot him a deadly glare, he frowned. "That green dress would have looked stunning on you, V." Lorenzo said quickly.

"Thanks." Vera said dryly. She closed the door of her closet and changed into a navy blue dress, one that fell to her knees and was silky and low cut. "Theo, baby, what do you think of this one?" Vera asked as she walked out of the closet.

Theo whistled when she walked out and the other boys nodded in appreciation. Vera blushed softly.

"Theo baby! Theo Weo. Itty bitty cutie patootie, does my dress make me look pretty?" Lorenzo mocked, causing Vera to walk over and swat at him.
