ENTRY WAY OUTSIDE OF THE GREAT HALL
Alecto arrived - having informed Lucius she would meet him outside the great hall. It had taken her longer to get ready than she thought, so it was just easier to meet up there. She was dressed in red finery - a long, one shouldered red dress that was gathered at her hip with small sparkling stones. She wore red heeled boots underneath that gave her a couple of inches in height as well. The only nod to her House was in a pair of silver snake earrings and a silver snake ring. She felt wearing green would have been too Christmas-y for this event. Alecto's long dark hair was done with a french braid across and over the crown of her head, that ended just behind her ear in a neat over the shoulder pony tail. It was both simplistic and elegant. Alecto's makeup was minimal - dark kohl around her eyes and a touch of shimmering silver eye shadow that made her eyes stand out a bit.
Alecto waited patiently. She felt bad for Narcissa, but she knew she'd not turn down Lucius' asking. No one else had offered to take Alecto, and she knew going with her brother would be awkward for most people (not her but everyone else!), so when he asked, she was elated. He was a good man to step out with for a ball, even a silly school one. When she spotted him, she made her way over, giving him a genuine smile.
