I missed you party dinner

Hafiz chuckled, "Yeah, I have been hiding under this rock above my body", as he referred to his head. He laughed while rubbing his 'rocky' head. "I have been away for awhile because I need to clear up my head", he nod gesture and smile.

Suddenly his stomach start growling - rather loud growl. Hope that no one hear it especially Jess because he is right next to Hafiz. Ignoring the stomach growl, Hafiz snapped "So, how have you been Jess? Any crucial information that I missed?", with rather a puzzle expression.

Mariana was doing her best not to loose her patience though atmosphere was becoming tense. Maybe some of guests didn't realize it, but walking out was ruining the party more then an actual arguing though both were getting on her nerves. Why couldn't they just pass a good time tonight and forget about their issues untill tomorrow. As much as she hated to involve with other people's problems, this was her party so keeping her guests here was her priority. She walked to Nikki and Andrian who looked like two angry friends and without sitting between them she just hugged them both around their shoulders so what she said would not be heard. "Look i don't know what excatly is the problem yet, but you will have to resolve it after dinner. Don't even think about leaving because that would make me very angry. So right now for me at least you two will sit at the table and be nice to eachother. Please." she said not threatning, just asking.

AT THE TABLE - Sorry to god-mod you, but it will take forever if i waited for everybody to sit down.

As everyone were at the table, Mari started carrying and levitating food onto it. Chicken soup, porridge, russian and greek salad, mushed potatoes, french fries, freshy roasted fish and turkey flew onto the table gently each one on it's position. Sauce, salt and pepper were already there just waiting for someone to grab them. Drinks also made their way clanking next to the bowls, glasses and everything else. As desert was after dinner, she sat next to Jess on his right side. "Well bonne apettite everyone. And no desert before dinner." she said loud and clear giving a significant look to Jess and a couple of others.

Jess chuckled at Hafiz's responseshrugged and thought for a moment. "Nothing too important," he replied after a pause, from what he'd heard Hafiz had been a Death Eater before his disappearance, Jess didn't want to risk giving away any valuable pieces of information. "No, not much at all, the world's been quiet, a little too quiet if you ask me," he said playfully.

At that point everyone else went and sat down, it seemed that Andrian and Nikki were going to put their differences aside for dinner, which was nice of them, no one wanted anyone to be fighting on a nice night like this. "Aww," he said when Mari banned him from the desert, "but it looks so nice!" He said, laughing and leaning over to give his girlfriend a quick kiss.

"It smells and looks beautiful," He said with a slightly more serious tone, smiling at her before looking at his own plate. "Well," he said, "I don't know about all of you, but I'm starting!" He said, digging straight into his own dinner, eager to eat all of it.

"If we're not going to blame anyone, how come Sophia never wants Lucas near her ever again?" Nikki hissed at Andrian. Nikki rolled her eyes again and clenched her teeth together quite tightly. She clenched her hand into a fist and looked at Andrian, with eyes, that were filled with tears, after much restraint to hold them back.

"What's there to talk about? I remember now...I remember everything...That kiss you and Sophia shared earlier, gave me my memory back of the last few days, so you can tell my sister to stop acting so awkward around me too.." Nikki whispered to him. She picked up the napkin and carefull wiped away her tears before they fell and ruined her make up.

Then Mari came and said something to both of them. "No problem, means no resolution is needed, and don't worry, I am not bringing up anything, and you can count on me to not be leaving," Nikki whispered back to Mari, firmly. She smiled at her and lookee into her eyes.

Nikki got herself comfortable and began to fill her plate with turkey, french fries and salad. She grinned at the plateful of food, and sighed as it reminded her of poor Lucas. She began with the french fries.

Andrian growled angrily under his breath and clenched his jaws tightly. He wanted so much to snap at her right now, he could feel his body heating up with anger. Andrian looked at her, watched as she clenched her hands into a first and saw the tears in her eyes. "Then blame me then," Andrian said through gritted teeth as he curled his lips with irritation. He knew that she knew he didn't mean it that way and he hated how she always made it hard for him. It was starting to piss him off, he hated it so much; all he wanted was to apologize was that so much to ask for. Andrian suddenly felt a cool breeze of air breathing into his ears and heard Nikki whispering into her ears. "I don't know, maybe so I can say i'm sorry?" Andrian whispered back at her.

"Okay Mariana," he smiled at her as he saw her come behind them. Andrian looked at Nikki and back at her. "No problem," he looked into her eyes and then back at the dinner table.

Andrian looked at all the food Mariana had made for them and grinned as he put the napkin on his lap. "mmm, this all smells good Mariana!" he grinned. "Thanks you," he said as he started to fill his plate with turkey, french fries, mash potatoes and a bowl of chicken soup.

OOC: Sorry for crpapy post

Hafiz nodded through the suspicious look of Jess. "Is it too quiet? The war between muggles do bang about the world if you ask me", he chuckles. Try to keep out the tense between them since they are in different faction. For Hafiz, it doesn't matter if Jess is a foe to his faction. In fact, he do care for his friends. In his chapter, there is no existence of the word 'treachery'.

Disturbed by Mariana's food, he cannot think anything else but to eat. The smell is nice and the food looks very tasteful. Without looking at others, he murmurs some prayers and dig in the food. Almost forgotten the courtesy, he snapped "Have a nice dinner everybody", he smiled to the others.

Sophia sat down beside Andrian but as she did she could feel the tension between him and Nikki which made her sigh. As her eyes were slowly from gold to there normal chgocloate brown she grabbed his hand and squeezed it gentlt before getting her plate. "Wow... Mari, everything looks amazing and smells so good!"said Sophia giving her a soft warm smile. As she loaded her plate with some turkey, mash potatoes, salad and some chicken soup. Sophia wasn't looking forwards to staying after with Mariana and Nikki and Andrian for she knew it wasn't going to be no walk in the park.

Sighing to herself she said alittle prayer and started picking at her food now not really in the mood to eat now. "Why can't they just get along?"Sophia asked herself as she took a bite of her mash potatoes not even tasting them. Sophia looked at the others and gave them a fake smile telling them she was happy but she was only pretending now. How could se she be happy when her sister and her boyfriend was at each other throats? As she took a drink of her firewhhiskey she looked at Nikki and Andrian who both seem normally eating as if nothing was wrong.

The dinner seemed to take a more cheerful course though she could still feel alot of tension in the air. Even though everybody sat down in peace, she wouldn't like if somebody left to early because that would make the party a failiure more then just arguing in the middle of it. Jess seemed to be the most relaxed and then again that wasn't a surprise for anyone especially not for her. All she could do at his comments was to giggle.

"I promise if you behave good, i;ll give you some extra desert .. later." she replied whispering in his ear though she didn't kiss him as he was already well buried in his food. Never touch the lion when he eats. "Go for it. There's plenty more from where that came from." she added now more louder when she finally started pouring and putting food into her own plates.

Mari watched satisfied as everybody ate before she dag into her own food herself. "You okay there sis?" she asked Sophia who was next to her, between her and Andrian. "I hate when people call me Mariana." she muttered for herself while she was taking a sip of her pumpkin juice.
"You cousin look like you didn't eat in ages." she said though Jess was the one who digged the most persistantly, but being surprised about Jess and food was only for someone who did not know him well.

"Oh I forgot. Would anyone like some really hot peppers?" she asked not staying short on that really hot. She levitated the bowl to the table. She didn't like to get burned so much, but maybe someone who takes her words easly would be crazy to try it/

"I am blaming you, don't you worry about that," Nikki chuckled slightly. She took a bite of some turkey and listened to Andrian a bit more. She was somewhat interested in what he had to say. She was shocked and and suprised to hear him say sorry. Wow, she thought. It changed alot of things. Was it really all he had to say to end this? She frowned, but then smiled weakly at Andrian. She then turned it into a real smile. "Was that so hard?" Nikki asked, innocently. Perhaps that was all she wanted to hear. A sincere apology.

Nikki heard Sophia ask in her mind why he and herself couldn't get along. She frowned, and thought that if she can read minds, and if Sophia can read minds, she'll be able to hear this: I remember everything Sophia...that kiss you and Andrian shared earlier, gave me my memory back. She hoped Sophia was reading her mind at that moment and didn't care if she found out she had learnt Leglimency.

She had a drink of soft drink and licked her lips, and started to eat the salad.

Sophia looked up at Mariana and nodded when she asked if she was okay. "Yeah I'm fine, just not really all that hungry that's all."said Sophia softly. As she heard Nikki's thought she looked at her from across the table as her gold eyes looked at her shocked. "Oh god why didn't se tell me before hand instead of now? Ok... this is so stupid I should just say I'm sorry for everything I did to hurt her for I didn't mean to hurt her."Sophia thought to herself. If Nikki was able to read her mind she would know what she was thinking now. Sophia didn't want to think about this now for she was trying to enjoy Mariana's party.

"Ok... Sophia push all this stuff out of your head, your here to have fun not to be worrying about other things."Sophia thought to herself. As she took a drink of her firewhiskey she started eating her salad and enjoying the party Mariana was throwing. All her thoughts she had earlier were thrown to the back of her mind and kept there. Sophia didn't want to ruin Mariana's party one bit for she was her best friend and she would feel horrible if she did.
