Fantastic
A party at the Malfoy Manor is not in my opinion considered a success until there are house-elves flying across the ballroom. Absolutely capital.

I myself chose to attend this year's party dressed as a Catholic. I am not entirely certain that everyone 'got' my costume but then, I do not really care. Xiomara and Sibyll persisted in wearing those gaudy tarot card costumes for a second evening in a row despite the fact that it was horrid for all who had to see them. Sirius was smashing as Severus and I believe he somehow even mastered the ability to slink. Narcissa Malfoy's costume was overdone but then, when is it not?

The Malfoys must have somehow got it into their heads that the best thing that they could do for the evening would be to force two and three house-elves into suits of armour and have them serve everyone. Their clunking was acceptable until they crashed and house-elves went flying in all directions. Given that a good house-elf is one that is never seen I am certain this must be terribly embarrassing. Less embarrassing, probably, than the lurid embrace I found Lucius and Narcissa in at a gazebo in one of the gardens. A more nauseating display would have required Hagrid's presence.

Having seen Lucius's tongue down Narcissa's throat I spent the evening chatting largely with Sirius Black. Flitwick and his wife looked ridiculous as usual. All in all a typical Malfoy display.

I hardly think our costumes were horrid. Any costume in which I get a sword is always a good costume.

I have said it before and will say it again-- has the entire wizarding world gone mad? First this business with Sev and Remus, and now Narcissa and Lucius showing actual affection for each other, as opposed to Lucius leaving Narcissa to someone dodgy named "Gunther", for Severus. I am concerned.

Moment of concern over. Don't actually care.

Hahahahaha. Did you step in on the ball? I had a moment of weakness in which I felt compelled to examine costumes and was fortunate enough to find Mr Weasley rolling across the Great Hall dressed as what appeared to be a giant orange.

Let's not forget Arthur Weasley's fairly recent posts regarding sounds of The Wife in the bedroom. My eyes have turned facing inwards on more than one occasion of late.

I do not slink.

And the day Black convincingly imitates me will be the day Potter manages to find his missing brain lobe.

It may possibly have escaped your notice that I was trying for caricature, not accuracy in portrayal. But then, since you yourself are a bit of a caricature...

I still do not see why you didn't soak your nails in lemon juice.

My mistake, Sevvie. Of course you do not slink. You merely cascade.

Do not call me Sevvie.

And frankly, that tattoo of yours is beginning to sag.
