Lily hadn't expected an invitation to any sort of social function. It was probably silly of her to think that though since Malachi had escorted her to the Gala and that was a rather big public event. An engagement party would be smaller certainly. Maybe that made it more dangerous...she only hoped that the friends that Malachi and Lavender had were open minded like them.
Mal and Lavender,
I'm so happy for you crazy guys! (I almost wrote kids. Somehow it seems to fit with this scenario.) I'll be coming and I plan on bringing a friend of mine. You two might know her. Her name is Ginny Weasley.
