Chapter 35 – The invitations

Lily looked up as she heard the flutter of wings and the screeching of owls as the morning post arrived. To her surprise Athena came gliding towards her, she looked around for her brothers and saw Apollo by them. Athena nipped her finger to get Lily's attention.

"Sorry Athena. I take it the boys are in trouble again?" Lily asked the owl who hooted. "I thought so." Lily nodded and took the letter from Athena's leg.

Dearest Lily

I enclosed the invitations that you asked for. Your father says this is the most Slytherin's we've ever invited I'm beginning to agree with him.

Can't wait to see you

Mom

P.S. Your brothers blew up a toilet that's why they've received a letter via Apollo.

"They arrived, finally." Lily said and jumped up.

"What?" Scorpius asked looking up from reading his letter.

"The invitations." She answered as she pulled out one of the invitations. "Looks like aunt Hermione lent a hand this year." Lily said, she looked over the invitation.

It was an ancient Greece theme. With a picture of the Parthenon on the front. Lily opened the envelope and read through it;

She handed Scorpius an invitation, smiling. He read through it and looked up;

"You had something to do with this didn't you?" He asked.

"Of course I did. I asked Mom if I could invite a few more friends this year, and well she sent the invitations."

"A few as in how many?" Scorpius asked.

"Well the entire quidditch team except Robertson and Lorcan and Lysander." Lily answered.

"That's a bit more than a few don't you think?"

"The more the merrier." Lily said hopping up from the table and going down the table first spotted was Horatio who was sitting with Christopher, she handed the invitations to them, the gave her confused looks and then they read the invitations, their eyes went wide with wonderment;

"We… we… we…we've been invited to the mask this year." Christopher stammered.

"I am so going." Horatio exclaimed. "Count me in."

"Good I'll see you there, I'm going to hand out the rest of them." Lily said walking away.

"Lily don't forget the practice later." Christopher said.

"Alright, see you later."

Lily made her way over to Lorcan and Lysander at the Ravenclaw table;

"Good morning." Lily greeted them.

"Morning" "Lily, how are…" "You" The twins asked.

"I'm alright. Here, hope you guys can make it." She said handing them their invitations.

"We would have gone" "With our parents." They said.

"I know but now you can be there in your own right." Lily explained.

"Thank." "You Lily"

"Pleasure. I'll see you around." Lily said and walked back to the Slytherin table.

Lily was just finishing off breakfast when she saw Connie walk in hand-in-hand with Dominic. Lily smiled at them and gestured for them to join her and Scorpius.

"So when did this happen?" Lily asked as soon as they sat down.

"Lily let them catch their breathes first. So when did it happen?" Scorpius said.

"Shortly after the quidditch game." Connie answered and blushed so red it would have made Uncle Ron proud.

"But it's great that you two got together, you two have been making googoo eyes at each other for a long time now." Lily said and laughed as both of them turned a remarkable shade of red.

"Ease up Lily, they can't sit here all day and blush." Scorpius said smiling.

Lily looked at her watch and jumped up. "I have to go or else I'm going to be late." She dashed across the hall and stopped about half way and returned to the three still sitting at the table. "I almost forgot. I hope you can come." Lily said and handed them their invitations and dashed off again.

A chiton is the greek equivelant of the roman toga. I had to research that.
