"Oh,well,he think everything is worth money.Even his own wand!Well,Godric Gryfindor did use it for a bit,but that doesnt men anything,does it?"He said,Scratching the back of his head.

Lorraine crinkled her nose at his reply. It wasn't really his business whether she dated or not thought, was it? "No. Not about that at least," she responded, unconsciously moving her fingers along his neck hairs.

"Adorable, yea right. You mean more like my shoulder will fall asleep under his weight," she mused. Given her small size though, it certainly wasn't unrealistic.

She continued to frown. "You're married Theo... with kids. Why would you want to date a single, workaholic woman like me?"

"Cassie,we are 25 now,"Miley said."We told each other things when we were little.I need to keep some things to myself.I really don't have to tell you everything that's going on in my life.And,Cassie,please don't take that personally.I really don't think I want to talk about who I like at the moment,it's not the right time...or place."

Theo's hand raised up and his fingers curled in the bottom of her hair.

"He isn't heavy. You don't have to carry him," he chuckled. "He has the body of a four year old. Plus, when are you ever going to meet him?"

"Because you are amazing. Sexy. Goal orientated. Do you want any more?"

Lorraine felt a tingling sensation on her lower back as she felt his hand moving up, and eventually curling the ends of her hair. Good thing she wasn't one of those insanely emotional girls that would be bothered by someone curling her freshly straightened hair.

"Not heavy to you," she pointed out. "Probably never, the rate that we're going." She smirked looking up at him and tried to see into his eyes. He was almost a full head taller than her with the heels on, which made it difficult. Perhaps this was a good thing she couldn't see his eyes.

"I'll agree with the third compliment, but sexy and amazing? Nah." she said shaking her head and crinkling her nose again. "You're pushing your luck."

Warren chuckled softly as she wobbled. He reached out his hand and caught her before she did any significant damage. "And you are the responsible one..." he said with a shake of his head and another chuckle. "My dear, I think you had better sit down." He nodded toward Stacey, "You're welcome to join us," he said as he took Alexa's hand and steered her toward their table.

Warren turned toward the woman who had offered the coffee and smiled. "I think she will take that cup of coffee. Thanks." He helped Alexa to the table and sat down next to her.

Lizeth was comfortable with him. He gave her this feeling that just made her feel like if something happened he'd be there for her. She kissed his cheek. "Hmmm.." She hummed along with the music.

"The rate we are going? Are we going to slow?" Theo frowned. "Do you want to go faster?"

He spotted her looking up towards him, so he looked down to her. He reached down and kissed her softly on the lips, "That fast enough for you?" he muttered in her ear.

"Thats what you think. I think you are sexy and amazing." He smiled, "Pushing luck? Now why would I do that?"

Even though the atmosphere of the reception was lovely and everyone seemed so happy. Parker Elizabeth Grey on the other hand was utterly depressed as she sat down at a table. She was rather happy she had accidentally missed the ceremony, since she was sure it would only bring back memories of her own wedding. Just the mere mention of her failed marriage made her sigh with disappointment.

Her mind wandered over her former husband Edison. She couldn't help but wonder if he was having a lovely time with he's new wife ? While she was utterly miserable. She really need to forget about him and how much of jerk he was. She looked around and sighed softly as she glanced down at her black satin ballet flats. She wished someone would shake or even punch her out of her misery. But then again the thought of being punched didn't sound too awesome.

"No, not too slow." Lorraine continued to frown. "I just doubt very much I would get to meet your kids or wife, that's all."

Before she could look down back at his muscular neck or a bit lower at his manly chest, hidden beneath his neat white shirt, he reached down to her. And kissed her; so softly such that only an expert would be able to accomplish. Without even thinking, she clutched the back of his neck and kissed him back, her heel kicking back off the ground. And then he pulled gently back and whispered into her burning red ears. Breathless, she just couldn't answer.

"You are too kind," she sighed back. "because that is what you do best, clearly."

Alexa sat down and turned miserably to Warren.
"I'm going to get sobered up, and then your going to give me one full dance." She looked at him, mock sternly. Grabbing her wand she cleared her head and returned to moderate normality.
"Ah, the lifestyle of a witch...." She said with a laugh.
Taking the coffee from the waitress, with a smile. Alexa sipped it...ljuk..bitter!~
"Do you have sugar there?" Alexa asked, once again forgetting she had a wand.

Alexa looked over onto the dancefloor leaning towards Warren she whispered.
"Those two look pretty close......" Sighing, she leant into him and just watched. She was beginning to forget that dance.....

Alina had been mingling amongst the other guests, hoping to congratulate the minister. So far though, she had managed to miss the newlyweds, and had decided to head back towards her husband to check he'd dropped off their gift okay.

She smiled as she drifted through the different people, her purple dress robes shimmering lightly as they caught the light. It was nice to feel dressed up for a change, and Theo looked so dashing. It was a while since they'd enjoyed a night out together; afterall it was unfair to make her mother look after the twins whilst she worked all day at the Ministry, and then again in the evening whilst they enjoyed themselves.

Finally Alina caught sight of Theo, distinguished from the back mainly by his height. It was only when she had to divert around a large group of people and saw him from the side that she realised someone else was there. And not only was this other person female, she appeared to be kissing him. Alina gasped, and blinked a few times to check that it was really her husband. Taking her chance to walk up on them whilst they were gazing at each other, or appeared to be at least, Alina cleared her throat relatively loudly. Loud enough to get their attention, but not loud enough for anyone in the room to hear which would draw attention to them. She had a feeling Clara wouldn't be all too pleased if the emphasis moved away from her today.

"Theo!" she said, as naturally as she could manage, before glaring at him. She turned to the lady, who appeared a little older than herself. "And Miss...?" she paused, wondering if the woman even knew that Theo was married, and if she did, that it was his wife currently standing there in front of her. There were many things Alina wanted to add, but firstly she didn't want to cause a spectacle, and secondly she wanted to know how Theo would react. There had better be a decent explanation for what she'd just seen. It didn't exactly just look like a 'friendly' kiss from where Alina was standing.

He hadn't expected her to kiss back. It was just meant to be a short moment thing. To last no longer than a few seconds. He seemed breathless towards the end of it. She had taken it all from him. Retched soul stealing women.

He smiled. "You are welcome."

Theo jumped suddenly. People coughing so close to him usually did that to him. His eyes were torn away from Lorraine's in a flash. It was a shame. She had lovely eyes. His widened. He was in trouble.

"Alina. How nice of you to join us. I was just dancing here with Miss Brothmeister. She is Head of Level Six," he smiled at his wife, letting go of Lorraine. "Lorraine. This is my wife. Alina. You said you wanted to meet her, and here she is. Right before us. In the same room as us." His eyes shifted around, checking for Aurors, or Brennan. If he found out what had happened, he would be fired for sure.

Sipping his firewhiskey, and resisting the urge to drain it all in one go, Enrico watched Cambell drink her tea. Amusing, actually, to see her face change with a sip of the bitter drink.

"Ha!" he muttered quietly. "And that is why I don't drink tea. Coffee is so much better. And stronger too." Rico nodded and finished his firewhiskey. "So...since you work in the Minister's office...and helped a lot with the wedding..." he winked at Cambell. "Would you happen to know what's on the menu?" He'd noticed some other tables ordering and was hoping someone would come to them. Soon.

Elwood smiled after Lizeth kissed him, it was like they had been together forever. He kissed her in return, he lifted his champagne glass and drained it, then kissed her again. He was totally relaxed now, relaxed was okay, but not complacent, complacency was dangerous.

Warren laughed, "I gave you a full dance, dear." He looked at Nathan and Egypt with a smile, "Too much to drink." He watched as she sobered herself up, "Think that's cheating...how will you ever learn your lesson," he teased.

Laylee noticed how eagerly Enrico drank his firewhiskey and she smiled slightly. He really must have needed a drink!
"I like coffee too... but it has to be sugary for me to drink it, same as tea." Cambell said, taking another sip.
"And, no. I cant tell you that! I wasnt envolved in that area of the wedding. Sorry!" Cambell said, also wondering what was on the menu...

Lorraine jumped suddenly in the arms of Theo. The woman seemed infuriated with him and for some reason the only thing she could think of right now was that this had to be her. Theo said it would be alright if they danced, but said nothing of kissing. He probably didn't expect it.

She was about to state her name, since the woman clearly did not recognize her as one of the department heads. Well she would have stated her name, but instead Theo spoke up, so she removed one hand from behind his neck and let it slide to her side, her other one slid down and clutched his wrist nervously.

The most startling thing about the kiss was that she hadn't expected him to become all breathless, but he did. Just like her. It was a strange yet fulfilling feeling that she had inside.

She nodded to him as he said 'you're welcome', which was really all she could do, her words gone from her lips. Speechless.

Unwillingly she stood by Theo's side and looked at the woman, who was clearly a few years younger than her. She was quite thankful that he said her name, because she surely would not have been able to speak clearly. Biting her lower lip, she smiled faintly and held her hand out for mannerisms. "Nice to finally meet you, Alina. I have heard so much about you."

"One?" Sh tried the sappy expression, hoping it would work. "Just.....one?"
She looked over at Nathan and Egypt with a smile....hapiness..
"Cheating? Honey that's life. I don't take alchohol very well. One shot and I'm off my face.

"Well...maybe more than one," Warren said with a smirk. "It's not like we're supposed to be working or anything..." he said with a laugh. He glanced at Forrester who was scanning the hall, more bloke...really needs to lighten up a bit. "Believe me...I know and it always makes me laugh. The responsible one...pfft." He winked at Nathan and Egypt. "So what have you two been up to?"

"Sugar? You must be sweeter than me," Rico joked. "I like coffee black. Just plain. None of that frothy, frilly cream stuff..." he trailed off. "But, I'll admit, iced cappuccinos aren't bad...."

He shrugged and glanced at the dance floor, suddenly forgetting the menu. "Do you dance?" Rico asked casually. Not that he was going to hit the dance floor just this minute....

Parker still unhappy with her misery noticed an man drinking what appeared to be fire whisky. She wanted something strong to drink and she couldn't help but wonder where she could get some. "Um excuse me." she said softly as she gave the man a half smile. "Would you know where I could get some fire whisky ?" she asked with grimly as she looked around the hall. "I'm Parker, by the way." she greeted with sigh as her eyes glanced down at her shoes again.

She yawned as she sat back in her seat. She still couldn't help but wonder why she had even deiced to come to the wedding in the first place. Since it was only making her more depressed about being divorce.

Rico looked up as he heard someone address him, rather quietly too. "Hellllo," he answered slowly. Ah, so she enjoyed firewhiskey too. Interesting.

"Actually, to tell you the truth Ms. Parker," he said, tapping his empty glass on the table, "I was just about to get a refill. I kind of...er...happened upon this one by chance, really..." which was just a nice way of saying he ordered it/grabbed it off of a passing waiter's tray. And now he was thirsty again.

"Do you see a waiter or waitress, perchance?" he added to Parker, raising an eyebrow. Maybe he could just snag another one...

Cassie lowered her head and looked at the floor. "I guess it is time for us to spread apart. I mean we won't be here for each other forever will we?" She looked at James and back to her sister. "As long as we stay close to each other I think I'll be fine." She said to her sister, even if they stopped telling each other their secrets.

Lizeth looked over at Alexa, caught her eye, and mouthed. "Thanks" With her head still on Elwoods shoulder. Then she poked him in the side.
