Just like clockwork, the seasons changed and it was King Perseus II's birthday once more. A celebration for the entire country, though none so lavish as the one thrown at the castle. The noble families were called to congregate with heavy embossed invitations requesting their presence to celebrate the king, delivered two weeks ago by owl.
Always well-decorated, the palace was done up even further for the event, lavish yet tasteful. As each guest entered, their name was announced, and they were escorted to their seat at the table where mountains of food created by House Elves were waiting, never seeming to diminish no matter how much was eaten. At the head of the table sat the king, with his own private dishes of his favored treats, in case of an assassination attempt.
After dinner came the dancing, the ballroom cleared for maximum dancing room, with a single row of chairs along one edge for anyone too tired to stay on their feet. Opposite the chairs was a buffet of small desserts, perfectly bite-sized, and an open bar, fully-stocked. For anyone unwilling to brave the lines, trays were levitating around the room with champagne and a selection of birthday cakes. Anyone willing to dance until the sun came up would find themselves well-met, the band playing through until morning and the drinks free-flowing all night.
