Chapter 39 – Preparing for the engagement party

Alexandra
I woke up the morning of the engagement party with a massive hangover. As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt sick. I ran into the bathroom to loose the contents of my stomach. Pixie had followed me, and was holding my hair, stroking my head and murmuring soothing words. The knock on my door was the most unwelcome sound ever, Pixie left to open the door, while I vomited again. I felt hands other than Pixie’s holding my hair this time. I glanced upwards and saw that it was Sirius appalled I told him to go away, he should not see me like this. He handed me some water and a paper towel when I looked up again. My stomach seemed empty now, my head was still throbbing. ‘I’m never drinking again’ I told Sirius. He smiled, holding up a vial for me to examine ‘we’ll see about that.’
I took the vial, it’s label proved it to be sober-up potion, seeing that, I knocked back the contents, knowing I’d be all right in a bit, if I managed to keep this down. ‘Thank you’ I told him, truly grateful for his presence. He helped me up, and guided me towards the bed. ‘I’ll see you at breakfast?’ he asked, making his way to the door. Bits and pieces of last night came back to me, and I groaned. He was at my side in the blink of an eye ‘what’s wrong?’ I hid my face in my hands and shook my head, no I did not do this! ‘Just remembering last night’ I told him. His reaction caught me by surprise ‘Oh’ was all he said, before leaving my room.

Sirius
I had tried to mentally prepare myself for the moment when Lex remembered last night, but truth was, nothing could have prepared me for her reaction. I had held on to a little hope that she might actually want me, that she didn’t do and say all those things because of Snape, the alcohol or some spell, but it was clear from her reaction that it had been either the alcohol of the spell, because now she was embarrassed.
When I got back to my room, I found Lydia already on the terrace, waiting for me. I told her everything that had happened up to this morning. We ended up ordering room service, to eat in our rooms. She comforted, saying that maybe Lex’ reaction was to something else, as she had quite the day yesterday. ‘You want me to talk to her later today? To find out?’ she asked. I told her to mention last night to Lex, but in a innocent way. ‘Maybe Sophie Leblanc could help you, she and Lex got along rather well last night?’ I asked her. Lydia’s head snapped up at the mention op Sophie. ‘Did they now?’ she asked, I couldn’t quite place her reaction, like I was missing information. For someone who didn’t know Lydia, she’d seem to have a friendly interest, I had gotten to know her over the past week, and saw that underneath there was another emotion, one that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I had agreed to meet my parents and Regulus for lunch, to lay down the rules, it was boring as ever. Regulus and I spent most of the time rolling our eyes at one another.

Alexandra
After Sirius left my room, I went back to sleep, to allow the sober up to work its magic. When I woke again, it was lunchtime. I took my notebook, and wrote to Severus You slept with Isaura?!
I put the notebook back in my safe, so that my mother, who would come to help me get dressed for the party wouldn’t find it. I was just having tea on the terrace when there was another knock on the door. I had been expecting my mother, Sirius or Regulus, maybe even Sophie, I was surprised when Pixie announced Lydia.
I wondered why she was visiting me, I had thought she’d spend most of the day getting ready for the party, like most other girls. Without waiting for an invitation, she took the open seat, and asked Pixie to bring her some iced tea. ‘Sirius and I just had breakfast in our rooms, he told me all about yesterday and last night, it seems you had so much fun’ she told me. I expected she had come to make fun of me. ‘I’m so sorry I missed it’ she continued. I knew she didn’t really want a reply from me, but the taunt about having breakfast in Sirius’ room still hung in the air ‘Yes, it was a pity you missed it, I never knew that Philippe and Sophie were that nice’ I said it in an innocent voice, knowing it would rile her up that I spent the day with Philippe. Ever since we got here, Lydia had been trying to push my buttons for some reason, I wasn’t sure what I had done to deserve that from her. Now I could show her that two could play at that game.
As if on cue Pixie came on the terrace, followed by Sophie. She greeted me with her usual flair, stating that they had missed me at breakfast. She greeted Lydia rather coldly in comparison. ‘you were gone so early last night, did you not ‘ave fun?’ she asked. I confirmed that I had fun, but that I had been tired, and had gone to bed. ‘My brother was worried when you were not at breakfast, he told me to check up on you’ she said. To me it was clear that is was a jab at Lydia, who stood, and left the room.
Sophie took the seat Lydia had just vacated. ‘Ow do you feel?’ she asked. I told her how embarrassed I was, I had made it very clear to Sirius that I was attracted to him, and still he refused me. ‘I think zat it is very admirable of him to refuse’ Sophie said, I looked at her, not understanding. ‘Ee didn’t want to take advantage of you, ee thinks you were drunk, and after what Lucius told you, your feelings were hurt.’ She watched the ocean, letting her words sink in. When they did, it suddenly made sense to me, now it made sense why he had been here this morning. If only I could understand his reaction right before he left. ‘Is it possible he still thinks I regret saying the things I told him?’ I asked her. Now it was Sophie who didn’t understand. I told her about this morning, so she had the entire story. She sipped her tea before replying ‘Either ee thinks you regret telling him, or ee thinks you didn’t mean what you said.’
To move on to a more pleasant topic, I asked her about Diego, who had seemed quite taken with her last night. That was how my mother found us, still talking about Diego. When she came in, Sophie excused herself and left us to it.
My mother was already dressed, as always she looked like the perfect pureblood wife, both hair and dress were impeccable and elegant. She gave me the box that contained my dress, curious I opened it. The dress my mother had picked out for this occasion was stunning. My mother tended to go overboard with my dresses, but I was surprised at how much I liked this one. It was magnificent in its simplicity.
I held up the floor length gown, the top was almost like a corset, but with lace sleeves that went behind my neck, and covered my shoulders. The lover half of the dress was a modest A-line made out of chiffon.
I felt like a princess when I had put it on. My mother adjusted the straps on the back of the corset before she sat me down to do my hair and make up.
When she was done, my hair was in a nice half updo. She had used black liner on my eyes, making them stand out, but the rest of my face was rather natural looking. I figured my mother could do a good job on make up, when she kept herself in check.
I picked out the same black pumps I had worn the evening before, asking Pixie to provide them with a balancing charm. My mother held out a jewelry box to me ‘these were mine, but I want you to have them, they would look nice on you’ she told me. In the box, I found rather large diamond earrings, they fitted nice in the entire ensemble ‘thank you’ I told her. My father knocked, and walked in the room, followed by Regulus. ‘Are you ladies ready? Because we have to go’ he said. Mother moved out of my room, as Regulus took my hand and kissed it, as was expected of him. ‘you look stunning’ he said. We joined my parents in the hallway. When we were walking he added ‘if I were straight, …’ I laughed and said ‘I know, you’d date me, right?’ He smiled at me in confirmation.
AN: This started out as one chapter with the next one, but it was too long, so I decided so split it up.
I’m still working on the next chapter, but it’ll be a long one, I want to finish it before tonight (in my time zone) because tomorrow I’m leaving for Paris once more.

For those curious about the dress, I have a picture up on my twitter: LyraDV
