Squeezing Gabby's side reassuringly he pulled his daughter's closer with their eyes. They both smiled sweetly, though it seemed Alli's was more genuine. He loved them both no matter what though, perhaps that's part of being a parent.
"Aunt C!!" Addy cried throwing her arms around her aunt. Alli laughed and did the same before catching sight of Triston and bouncing over. Hunter was her man, and much older, but if Alli ever met a man like him it's who she'd want. Alli had even told Triston that.

Seeing Alisia run towards her Triston threw her arms around the girl. They were close there was no doubt. Triston knew that Alli had a thing for Hunter, he got her better than anyone some days. It was interesting. They talked about her at night, when their bed was a comfort zone and they talked until they fell asleep mid sentence. "How are you? Still coming each day this week?" She asked the girl, rubbing her arms, smiling.

Emma walked into the atrium, wearing a suit-dress-style thing with a bag slung over her shoulder. There was a soft frown on her face as she saw the people there chatting, who she was sure were Ministry officials. That was when she remembered this was a Hogwarts reunion. Then she remembered that she didn't know any of these people.
"Um - hello there," she said amiably.

The slight squeeze made her feel a little better, but she would never be fully be OK until they got home and she had survived the encounter with both Bella and Addy. Watching Alli bounce over to her best friend, Gabby gave Triston a smile, if it had been anyone else she would have been suspcious about how close a detention officer was to a kid, but who couldn't love Triston?
Laying her face in the soft open neck of Corbin's shirt, she closed her eyes briefly, this was going be a long night. Hearing a new voice, she opened them, not wanting to be rude, and offered the girl a pleasant smile. "Hello," she didn't recognise the girl, and was about to ask her if she was lost, when she realised that would be rude.

"Hello."
"This is the Hogwarts reunion, isn't it? I was just heading up to my office when I remembered," Emma said, shooting a smile at the lady in front of her. How could she forget? All the former Hogwarts students were meeting at the Ministry to reunite...she was so dang stupid.
"Um - Emma Wilson," she said, giving a nod to all of them. "I don't think you remember me from Hogwarts, but it's a pleasure to see you all anyway."

Trying to keep an amused smile off her face she nodded lightly, it was strange seeing students in power and all flustered like this, though not that strange as she didn't know who this woman was. "You're OK though, not many people have arrived yet, just us," she took her hand from Corbins that still rested on her bump and waved at the small gathering.
When the girl offered her name, Gabriella tried in vain to remember, she felt slightly bad that she didn't but there was little chance of the girl being a Slytherin, Gabby tended to know all the youngers of her house at least by sight of name. "I'm Gabriella, Gabriella Lestrange, and this is my fiancee, Corbin Jackson, it's nice to see you too," she nodded at Corbin when she introduced him, knowing he wouldn't mind.

"You're OK though, not many people have arrived yet, just us."
Emma looked around the small group once more, then back to the lady before her. She had seen her before...just she didn't remember where.
"Oh well - glad I'm not late," she said with a brief smile, while she continually bashed herself inside for forgetting such an important event. What if Andrew was there?
"I'm Gabriella, Gabriella Lestrange, and this is my fiancee, Corbin Jackson, it's nice to see you too."
Emma was never good at hiding her surprise. Her mouth formed a small 'o', then she quickly shut it.
"I know the names," she said with a weak laugh. "I just wish I knew the actual people."

Narcissa hugged her nieces, nodding at a new face that had just walked up. "Hey," She added with a smile. "Yeah, I remember you." Cissy added, though it sounded a bit forced. "You insisted my husband was named after your cat." She laughed, brushing aside her blonde locks. "Narcissa Malfoy." Cissy introduced with a pleasant smile.

She'd gone to great lengths over the years to distance herself from the rest of her family. She'd never really felt right about Tiberius and Narcissa getting together, but she drowned herself in her own life enough not to care anymore. She always so busy gallivanting around Europe with Majelicka Weasley, or spending time with her husband Aiden, that she didn't stop by and visit with the rest of them except for holidays. She'd forsaken her blonde locks for a more subdued brunette look, her rock-like attire was hardly befitting somebody of old money. Though she no longer stood on her family's legacy alone, she still held on to certain vestiges. For example, everybody knew the story behind the dragon tattooed on her arm. She was, and had always been a daddy's girl. She walked into the atrium, taking it all in. This would be interesting to say the least

Zakk just looked at the new people who walked in. A few he didn't recognize, then Delilah walked in. Having a flashback to when Logan had died, he shuddered a bit. It was weird to see all of these people again. Making small talk, when most of them hated eachother back in the day. Zakk got himself a butterbeer, oddly enough, he didn't want to have another episode with the firewhiskey. He looked around the room for Bella.

Bella had been up in her office, finishing off some work, and stressing over Cassandra and new reports of her violence. Looking up at the clock, she sighed. She stood up, and straightened out her black dress, and slipped her heels back on. Admiring herself in the mirror of her beautiful office, she draped her cloak over her arm, and pushed the door open. Then she called to her three-year-old daughter. "Come on, love, it's time to go!" Cambree looked up where she had been playing in aunt Cissy's office, and rushed over to her mother.
When inside the lifts, she took a few steadying breaths. She didn't know who all was there. The only people she were certain about were Narcissa and Zakk. Though she had a sinking feeling about who else had shown up.
She spotted her sister and her husband in a group of people. Her daughters were there, too. She saw the sour look on Adrienne's face, and knew who must have been in attendance. Really, Bella should be over seeing her. They make enough contact when Bella picks up the girls or drops them off. But really, when you hate someone that much, seeing them will never stop turning over your stomach.
She took a moment to take in the Lestrange. She was small, for a pregnant woman. But then, she had always been small. She supposed the baby would be small too. And then they would all get to hear about how small it was. Small, and such. Bella also noticed that Gabby's lip had yet to be severed off. Ten galleons to Cissy.
Striding over to them, she greeted Zakk with a kiss. Then she turned to her daughters. "Oh, Adrienne. I'm so glad heels agree with you so much. You're a natural."

Zakk wrapped his arm around Bella's waist, relieved that she had shown up. He looked at his small daughter, clutching to her side. "Hey sweetheart," Zakk said, his smile beaming ear to ear. He picked her up with one arm, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. She giggled quietly, and traced one of Zakk's tattoos with her finger. "Cassandra making more movement?" Zakk asked his wife in her ear. After all these years, he still hated Cassandra. After all, she had tried to kill him.

((Gabby))
Giving Emma another polite smile, ignoring the reaction to her name, they were all grown ups now after all, and Gabriella had hardly grown up to be a mini Bellatrix Lestrange had she?
Nestling in Corbin's arms again she noticed Delilah and gave her cousin a wide grin, they hadn't spent enough time together recently for Gabriella's liking, and it upset her abit, what had happened to their dream? They could hardly raise kids together when Delilah was of galavanting around the world. "Hey Lilah," she offered, noting the girl hadn't dressed up for the occasion.
Hearing a familiar but unpleasant voice she turned her black eyes on Bella and gave the woman a sweet smile, sometimes being nice was the best offence. "Bella you're looking darling," following it with another smile, she looked at the couples little daughter and gave her a small smile, no doubt that one hated her too.

Addy smiled as her mother approached and complimented her. Plus, she always loved to see her mother and step-thing co-mingle. "Thanks, mom. Hey, Cam!" Addy said, pecking her sister on the cheek. She was her half sister after all, and even if she did have Zakk's blood, she shared her mothers.
Adrienne heard Gabby Strange greet her mother, and watched Bella fix a smile on her lips. "Thank you," she nodded, not returning the compliment.

A faint popping sound was heard in the middle of the Atrium as a cloaked figure appeared, a hood covering her eyes, leaving only soft red lips and black curls hanging down to tell them who, or what they were dealing with. Though when she grinned, and spoke, there was little left to the imagination
"Hush little babies don't say a word, for your last screams won't be heard. Forgive me father, for I am sin. I've gone off and killed again."
She looked around for those kids she had on her mind for years now, pushing the hood back, and revealing her sunken yellow eyes. As she continued on with her sick little rhyme, she pointed at the twins, her forked tongue flickering out now and again, before turning her attention to Bellatrix
"If that bad lady doesn't die, I’ll kill her and make her fly. I'm dressed in black and come for your soul, and it’s not over at all. I'll kill you in your sleep at night, that way you give up with out a fight. If you don't want to die tonight, pack your bags and leave in fright"
