Daphne and Laura(!grabme)
Daphne was rather upset when Stephen had denied coming to the Halloween party with her, but Daphne needed a little more normalcy in her life again. Things were still definitely strained in Slytherin because of Alex's death. No one knew what to believe. But Daphne was ready to have fun again and not worry about anything for a night. Whether that was with or without Stephen by her side.
It took a little while to get her zombie costume correct. And it was a zombie because Inferi freaked her out completely. And, well, she still got to look classy while doing it. In a red dress and her hair done perfectly, Daphne had come up with the idea that she had been at a dinner party when the Zombie Apocalypse started. If she had picked up a muggle love of zombies during her friendship with Ava, well, that was her own secret.
When she entered the Great Hall, quietly admiring the decorations that floated overhead, she looked quickly over the people also in the room. Laura. Daphne hadn't seen her in a while, hadn't really had a ton of time, but as soon as she spotted Laura, Daphne wanted to go over and talk to her. She genuinely liked Laura. And, well, she was a pureblood, someone her parents would approve of, as well as the Cornfoot family.
Picking up two cups of the Blood orange punch, Daphne made her way across the room towards the girl she really wanted as a new friend. "Laura. Lovely to see you again."
