"Prost!" Adelaide cheered when her friends clinked their drinks together around the small round table in the nightclub. It had taken a bit of convincing, but she managed to get all of her favorite people from Durmstrang and from Berlin together for a night of drinking and dancing. She took back her shot of whiskey and winced a little at the burning sensation down her throat. She wasn't trying to get drunk, she just wanted to have a good time with her friends. To her left was her best friend and practically brother Lykke, along with Benedek Karparti for some reason. The two of them seemed to be joined at the hip, and she would have to grill her best friend later on the nature of the relationship. The rest of the table was filled with muggle friends, and even some squibs who all generally knew about the magical world from magical siblings, aunts or grandfathers. She managed to collect a beautiful group of friends who would support and love her for the rest of her life.
"Zum Wohl!" Someone else cheered, draining their second drink, she leaned back on the padded leather chair and smiled. While she was having a wonderful time turning sixteen, there was something missing from all of it. She wanted to have her newest friend there. The handsome Esme who would she would probably never get the nerve up to talk to face to face in Beauxbatons for the Triwizard. She stood up when the music changed and told her friends she was going to dance. Some of them joined her, coupling up with their prospective dates. She glanced at Lykke who seemed deep in conversation with Benny, she would bet her lifetime savings that something was going on with those boys. Even his ghost Hulda seemed to be keeping her distance from Lykke lately. The thumping music and dim lights was the best place for her birthday. She just wanted to dance with her friends and think about the handsome English boy who was thousands of miles away and probably not sparing a single thought for her.
The music swayed with deep and slow beats, causing the couples in the room to move together like magnets. She danced alone, but lost in her own thoughts. Thoughts of going to France, thoughts of the Tournament, of Esme's grey eyes and everything else that she could think of.
