Mandy and Open
Mandy wasn't much of a party person. There was something about having to make small-talk whilst attempting to overcome generally loud music or awkwardly attempting to dance whilst people stared from the sidelines that had never really suite her. She was much better in smaller groups where she could properly talk. Nevertheless, she hadn't wanted to be rude, especially since it was here friends who were throwing the party and more importantly it was in honour of Harry and Neville's birthday.
It was funny but this was probably the first time she'd actually done anything for either boy's birthday, they had never really been particularly close, but then so many many things had changed in the past year. Trying her best not to look completely out of place and failing rather miserably - never mind the fact that it was in quite possibly the poshest house she'd ever seen, Hogwarts castle certainly didn't count and that was not helping matters - Mandy finally made her way through to the food area. A little food wouldn't hurt.
