Lenore could hear the music from the party at the other end of the hallway. It was loud and celebratory, drowning out the sound her heels made as she walked towards it. She supposed that she couldn’t expect anything less from a victor’s celebration and it let her know what she could expect once she finally entered the event.
Alas, the winning team was not her own but she knew better than to dwell on the disappointment of the loss, even though this time she didn’t have the comfort of knowing she could try again next year.
As per the instructions on the invitation, she had put on a costume before leaving her room, dressing up as a character from a movie that she had loved as a child - Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. She had even found the perfect red bows to finish off her pigtails.
When she got closer to the door to the Umbra common room, she encountered a man. He was apprehensive, looking down at the ground as they entered each other’s vicinity. Upon further inspection, she realized that she knew him and she smiled at him. He recognized her as well, greeting her with a confused tone.
“Nic!” She responded as she moved closer to him, a subtle excitement in her voice. “The party is that way.” She had noticed that he was walking away from where the party was being held and even though she was making a statement, there was a question embedded in it, wondering where he had been trying to go. She also wondered who or what had him so on-edge but that could wait. At least for the moment.
