( The Bride's Dress )

( The Reception Venue )

( The Bridesmaid Gowns )

As for my girls:

SEPTIMA will be carrying out her bridesmaid duties, along with her two other sisters and the groom's only sibling. It will be noted that she, along with her only other unwed sister, are both looking less than pleased at the occasion, with Septima herself looking downright distressed. At the reception following the ceremony, the newlyweds will be introduced to everyone as they walk in with the wedding party, though Septima's place will remain empty throughout the dinner. A couple of nosy aunts are overheard gossiping that raised voices - Arcturus Vector and an as yet unidentified female - were screaming at each other behind one of the marquees immediately following the photography session. After posing for pictures, Septima hasn't been seen.

SOPHIA will be swanning around like she owns the place until she finds her friends, at which point she'll be squealing and being generally girly and excitable, and sighing about how she can't wait till it's her turn to get married. She'll be wearing a posh frock and making eyes at the eligible bachelors.

I'll post mini-threads in here for my girls - feel free to do so for any of the settings!

Summary: Rating tbd

Normally, Septima didn't like sitting with her back to an open room. It made her feel oddly vulnerable and exposed, which was the last thing she needed when she wished to relax with one of the many texts that the common room bookshelves had to offer. Tonight, however, she was unusually dispassionate. Having returned from the library with a large stack of the new Arithmancy magazines that the department had recently ordered - for she was trying to take comfort in her beloved numbers - she sat herself in the armchair by a wall hanging, which hid her slightly, pulled up an empty coffee table towards her, set the magazines upon it and chose one, curling up in the chair to read.

She'd been there for at least fifteen minutes when she realised that despite the common room being almost empty, she couldn't concentrate. Septima shook herself as she realised that something was on her mind enough to cause her to re-read the same page over and over without taking it in, and although she tried to hide the thought, it was no good - she knew exactly what was getting to her. Simply put, with her own issues at the moment, she hadn't been there for the others when she probably should have been. The realisation that she was a bad friend as well as a bad daughter - in her own clouded view - just made her feel worse.

She closed the heavy magazine and tossed it loosely back onto the table with a loud rustle of pages, and leaned back, rubbing her temples with her fingertips. Surely something could happen to take her mind off things?
