Third person POV
Narcissa sweeps into the grand ballroom of Malfoy Manor with a flick of her perfectly styled hair, her sharp gaze taking in her surroundings, her eyes pausing seemingly locking on someone briefly, before continuing her pursuit of the room.
"Welcome everyone..." *She speaks catching the attention of the crowd. "I would like to thank you all for accepting my invitationto the gathering" She addressed the crowd with a captivating voice, her poise was unmatched, and she was radiantly beautiful practically glowing.
Across the room stands a young lady attending an extravagant party with her father. She's used to this kind of thing, the balls, the opulence, the way the guests fawn over Narcissa's words as though she is the most important thing in there worlds. And yet the young lady presses her back father against the wall. Her gaze flicking back and forth between the woman speaking and the guests almost as though she is an observer rather than a member of this world.
"And so...I would like us all to raise a glass in celebrate...Celebration of Lucius's promotion and in celebration of life" Narcissa Malfoy smiles as she raises her small flute of champagne with the guests before they all take a sip.
When Narcissa finishes speaking, her gaze sweeps over the crowd again, pausing briefly on the young lady from earlier. She excuses herself from the group of well-dressed individuals she was speaking to. She gracefully weaves her way through the crowd greeting old acquaintances, and business associates. She approaches the young lady and her father her heels clicking softly on the marble floor.
She greets the man with a warm embrace air-kissing his cheeks. "Albert darling? How have you been?" She chuckles as the two begin speaking her gaze occasionally focusing on the young woman beside them.
She leans in close to the man her voice dropping to a soft gentle whisper "And who is this, beautiful young lady accompanying you?" Her eyes flicked again to the young lady, almost appraising her.
"Adeline.., ma'am," The girl says softly a polite smile on her face as she extends her hand to shake the woman.
Narcissa's eyes widen slightly in surprise and she takes the girl's hand giving it a gentle squeeze, rather than shaking it. "Ah, Adeline darling, You're just as beautiful as your father said"
"Thank you..." The girl stutters lightly a slight blush appearing on her cheek at the woman s words.
