It was a party! Ariana was actually looking forward the the event. How could she not? Gellert was out of jail. Her mother had not confronted her regarding any horrid topics that involved her death and Gellert and Albus would now be able to live together happily. It was a reason to celebrate as far as she was concerned. Not to mention the fact that she actually felt comfortable with the whole concept of multiple people gathered in one place... including people that she did not potentially know. She was certain that Albus and Gellert would not invite any bad individuals.
She hadn't mind cleaning for the better part of the day. Not at all, she was rather good at freshening a house up with muggle techniques. It was simple really. The pie she made, a rhubarb strawberry pie, wasn't so simple. She truly did hope it was edible. It had been set up on the table with a homemade doily underneath and a serving wedge nestled in the first slice.
Dressed in her second best dress, that first best dress still unfortunately missing, Ariana skipped down the stairs to where her brother and Gellert were standing already in conversation. She caught the tail end of Albus's words as she flitted by to give each a hug and a kiss to the cheek. "Mother's not coming?" She asked brows creasing together slightly in concern.
