OOC |-| Alright, this thread is pretty much open for the threads you'd like to create. Have fun and be creative. All I ask is that you keep all NC-17 posts until after. No shagging under the tables, on the bar, or in a broom closet. Also, I'd like most to stay at least until the small plot twist which will be posted later using this account. It will make things a bit more interesting in the game. Thanks!

The surroundings were absolutely gorgeous as people mingled in the ballroom located in the heart of the Ministry of Magic Headquarters. Jewels sparkled and all in attendence were dressed in their finest. From the CRWM's point of view it was a night of celebration, their attempts at creating a new and better Wizarding Community were well on their way and the future looked bright for all, both Muggleborn and Pureblood alike.

Despite the seriousness of the evening, Minister Kinglsey Shaklebolt was not in attendance. Instead, he had left a representative in his stead, who had taken a moment to address the crowd, speaking of the hope and a positive future. The message had various reactions throughout the crowd. Many were hopeful, but just as many were not impressed and it could be seen. The speech and formalities did not last for very long before the guests were left to themselves to mingle and have a good time. The music was started, the bar was opened, and waiters moved through the crowd carrying both drinks and orderves.

He'd felt the moment Saiorse entered the room and his eyes were immediately drawn to her. Something smug inside of was pleased that Marcus was keeping true to his word and seeming not to care about her outside the media's eye. Chase a blasted goat in a skirt, just stay away from what's mine.

Pushing off from the bar, he wound his way around the couples until he stood beside Sairose's chair, his hand held out for her. Quietly, he looked down. "Dance with me?"

Saoirse smiled when Palmer stood next to her chair. And her smile got a bit brighter when he asked her to dance. She took his hand and nodded as she stood, "I'd love to."

She let him lead her to the dance floor. The music was complete garbage, as she found with most Wizarding music, but she could have cared less. She was feeling lighter now, sort of wished she'd worn that other dress. Palmer likely would have appreciated the playful effect that was intended.

Drawing her in close, Palmer wrapped one arm around her back, taking her fingers loosely with his other. Saiorse fit so perfectly against him, he was a fool not to notice it before. Or at least not be able to admit it.

Palmer ducked his head toward her, letting his lips slip across the shell of ear as they moved together. He wanted the moment to be about them and only them but he had to know she was alright. "How is he treating you?"

"He stays away for the most part," Saoirse replied quietly, not really wanting to talk about him. "But when he's around he finds every opportunity to insult me or put me down." It was hard to stay strong whenever she was around Marcus, it was always insults and snide remarks and attempts at getting her into bed.

She rested her cheek on Palmer's chest and smiled softly as she listened to his heartbeat. "At least it's a beautiful night," she murmured.

A heavy sigh lifted his chest and he searched the crowd over the top of Saiorse's head for Marucs. It could have been worse. He knew Flint well enough to know that but it was a small concession.

He turned his full attention to Saiorse and the music, pulling her tightly against him, his fingers making small circles on her hip where he held her. "It is and you look incredible." Palmer brushed a quick kiss across her cheek. "Good enough to eat."

She didn't want to tell him about the kisses or sweet talk or Marcus practically trying to force himself on her. She'd managed to hold her own in those instances, didn't want to worry him further. She wondered if Palmer knew how much strength he gave her.

She smiled up at him, "Yeah? You're quite handsome yourself." He looked good in a suit. And it made her smile that they matched better than she and her fiancée. She wondered briefly if there were any photographers around before she kissed him, soft and sweet.

Saiorse's kiss was drugging, pulling him under to that blessed place where none of this mattered beyond the two of them. He cupped her cheek, guiding his lips over hers until his tongue flicked into the sweet recesses of her mouth. He couldn't breathe and if the world had ended at that moment, he would have died at peace.

Flashes from across the room caught his attention and he had enough sense to pull back a bit and offer her a wide grin. "I'm tempted to sneak off to the cloak room with you."

With a laugh, Saoirse returned his grin, feeling lighter than she had in days. She really, really hoped that that would get into the papers. Make Marcus look like the cuckolded husband. She'd have to watch for the Prophet in the morning.

"Now you know I wouldn't say no to that, Mr. Montague," she said brightly. "And I also owe you morning coffee." Her fingernails brushed the back of his neck teasingly as she pressed a little closer, smiling playfully.

There was nothing like Sairose's laugh and it had been too long since he'd heard it.

"You could have that coffee at my flat any morning. I know you don't like to apparate. What about portkeys? If it's the only way we can be together?" Was he getting desperate? Yes. Where they'd once had a timing issue, of never being able to find enough together, it was now a matter of privacy too.

	He was so cute. She had meant him to spend the night with her. "I can apparate to be with you." She smiled, letting her hand rest against his neck. She liked that she was so tall, it made her feel safe and protected being with him. "Your place isn't too far from here, is it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, not far at all." He smirked smugly, playfully pausing their dance and cupping both sides of her face as he slowly kissed Saiorse. It was only the flash of familiar green light out of the corner of his eye that made him break away. "Holy fuck." Automatically, he moved his body in a protective stance around his lover. "We need to get you out of here now!" (Reply to this) (Parent)
