Emmanuelle hadn't been able to make it to the Championship Quidditch game due to studying for her NEWTS. Yep, she had missed Quidditch to study. Call the Aurors. But seriously, those test could determine what she would be doing for rest of her life. Do poorly, and she'd have to go work in a muggle shop (not that she was opposed to muggles, just that they were hardly ever polite to the person helping them). Do well and, as clichรฉ as it sounded, the world was her oyster.
Anyway, she had promised herself that if she focused on her studying, then she would give herself a break in the form of coming to this party. So here she was. Only, it didn't really seem like much of a party. Besides herself, there were only nine others, all younger years and exactly one other Slytherin. Weird. She snuck her way to the snack table and nabbed herself a snitch cupcake. Then she moved over to the wall to wait for some older students to show up.
