WHO. Everyone~!
WHAT. P AR TAY.
WHERE. Room of Requirement.
WHEN. Backdated to Friday. Night time.
RATING. TBA. Nothing too high though, alright?
STATUS. Open~

The Room of Requirements was a blessing. Nymphadora had spent days trying to locate the infamous room, searching the halls for what seemed like the only ideal place in the castle where one can have an event such as the one she'd been planning for her sibling. She'd taken note of a few abandoned duelling rooms and old libraries, just in case her search came out unfruitful. But at the very last second, the toom finally showed itself to her.

It was better than the stories his father had told her once about it. Not only did Dora not need to decorate the room herself, but it seemed the food was taken care of, too. As if the Castle was rejoicing for their return, and wanted them to celebrate coming back the proper way. Dora was only too eager to oblige.

The room was dark but for the lit candles with different colored flames of red purple and deep orange scattered about the room, gently illuminating the small space. Modest sitting areas were scattered about the area, a long table with food and drinks stood on both sides of the room. The center of the room was of course reserved for dancing, with a small stage and operational DJ booth. It was perfect, Dora thought as her eyes scanned the room.

By nightfall, it was time to party.

Dominique stood outside of the Room of Requirement, on the third corridor. She had been told where to go by Dora, and she was certain the party was well on its way now. She had planned to come early and help set up, but she'd been told the party practically provided everything. So she saw little point in rushing herself, and ended up a tad bit late, as was her usual custom.

She smoothed out her simple black dress and tights, as she paced once, then twice, with the thought I need to get to the party. in her mind. She turned to pace once more, but saw someone else in the corridor. Not just anyone else, though, someone that made her forget to check to see if the door for the room had appeared.

"Hello. I didn't know you'd be coming," she said trying to hide her shock.

Dressed in casual garbs of black and ash, Phoenix exited his dormitory and left the Slytherin Commons. His steps led him to the direction indicated on the invitation sent to him just a few days prior between his fingers, to the corridor that housed the infamous Room of Requirement. However, a few corridors from his destination, he found himself stopping in his tracks.

For a moment, he simply stood against the wall, his expression thoughtful. Should he really go through with this? Imagine a Malfoy in a Weasley's party. Surely, he would not be welcomed so warmly, even though one of their peers, who just so happened to be one of the birthday celebrants, had invited him. He sighed, leaning his head back against the cool stone, contemplating if he should just turn and head back.

Suddenly, his eyes caught a movement, a figure that passed the shadowy area that concealed him. His insides did a little flip, eyes widening in the slightest as he followed Dominique Weasley. He watched her pace, seemingly in thought. After a sigh, he walked into the light and instantly, she spotted him. "I'm unsure if I should, myself." he said, shrugging, looking her once over.

"You look beautiful." Phoenix told her with the slightest smile to his lips.

Dominique couldn't help the little smile that crossed her face. It had been ages since she had actually seen him, looked at him. Selfishly, she wouldn't mind getting the chance to look across the room that night and see him there, but she also wondered if he would be comfortable. "Well, you have made the effort to come this far."

She felt the smile fall gently from her face as he told her she looked beautiful. It tugged at some part of her, and she was glad that he found her beautiful. Dominique knew should have been smiling like a cheshire cat. Still, it seemed to conjure up too many memories. Good memories, and it brought her back to the reality of what she felt for him, even now, although she was convinced she shouldn't.

Still she said, "Thank you. You look...wonderful," before looking away slightly.

Merlin, these lingering feelings were making her feel daft.

"I know." Phoenix answered in his low tenor, hands coming to fold behind his back. It truly was a refreshing site to look at her, and as he stepped closer, he even caugth the faimliar scent of her. "I can still retreat." he told her. "Turn and walk away...."

He caught the expression that passed her expression when he complimented her. It was strange. Usually the gestures summoned more positive reactions. She couldn't even look at him when she returned it. "Did I say something wrong?" he asked, truly curious and even worried that he might have upset her.

Dominique took in the angles of his face as he spoke. She nodded in agreement, "Well, you could, but what would you walk away to?" She knew he wasn't the fondest of crowds like these, and she wondered if he wouldn't prefer to be nestled in a quiet corner with a book, or something else of interest. Whereas she liked being around people. She'd grown up around so many Weasleys, but needed her down time in about equal amounts.

Her eyes widened at his question, "Oh... no." Unsatisfied with her initial response, she smiled sheepishly and shook her head lightly. "You always say the right things. Always." This time she didn't turn her face from his and instead looked directly at him. She could feel her Gryffindor impulsiveness and bravery bubbling up, and she was afraid of what it would have her say.

Phoenix smiled a little. Usually as gestures was one that was so rare in the presence of most people. However, dominiquee just seeed to have the natural talent to bring it out of him. It was funny how she still knew him so well. "A quiet domritory." he told her, biting his lower lip as he thought. "A good book, a glass of water. A form of entertainment entirely different from what a party such as the one I'm invited to will provide." A pause. "And might I ask what's keeping you from going inside?"

Dominique answered him, though her answer did not leave her satisfied. He took another step to her, careful to keep his expression void of what he felt. "Then... why do you appear as if I had?"
