Master of The House (Open to Slytherins)

[Deleted]

Thaddeus Thorn had much to celebrate, at least in his mind. The same ailment that took his parents took his paternal grandmother as well, and now he was the sole heir to the Thorn Fortune, and of course Thorn House with it. At the age of sixteen, he had the world in his grasp. And with his grandmother's body not even cold yet, he held a party to flaunt his newly obtained wealth. He welcomed all of Slytherin House, despite his disdain for those he felt tainted what he considered to be the most superior House at Hogwarts.

Many people tried to warn Thorn that he also inherited the family curse and would die a painful death at others in his family did. However, Thorn laughed it off as he almost always had. He certainly wasn't going to let it dampen his spirits that night.

Stepping downstairs clad in a tuxedo, he accepted a lemonade from one of his servants. While alcohol was being served, he himself did not drink. Stepping over to one of his bodyguards, he scanned the room to make sure there were no uninvited guests.

"Rygor, do make sure no one causes a row tonight," he said. "If someone does make trouble, do not hesitate to deal with the issue in your manner."

"Yes, sir," smirked the hulking Rygor.

Leyshell was eager to get out of her house that her parents were becoming insufferable seeing as they were hounding her on finding options before it was too late. She rolled her eyes at that, it was no secret that Leyshell was a picky young women and not just anybody would do. The same went for her friends, she had only picked the very best to see how she truly was. though she conversed with almost anybody, really she liked the attention. She was let into the house by elves and she nodded politely in thanks. Her dress was one that she had gotten from the devil's flair, it was a halter top dress and the back had intricate straps placed to show enough skin not be slutty. The side of the dress however was slit up to her side. The dress was mostly black but with green accents to match her eyes, which were green that night.

Walking into the party area, her eyes searched for the she smiled when she finally found him, strolling over she smiled and gave him a quick hug. "Sorry to hear about you're family but i bought some vintage wine from my father's Vine yard, heaven knows he doesn't drink wine." she said with a small roll of her eyes, sometimes she though the children dabbled more into politics and pureblood society than the parents did but that was just her.

To say Thad was in love with Leyshell might have been a bit of a stretch. This was simply because the boy might have very well not known how to truly love anyone. But he certainly fancied the girl. She was gorgeous, cold, and manipulative. Being cold and manipulative were two qualities Thorn rather enjoyed himself. He also loved the wild and rebellious side to her. She was untamed and that thrilled him, especially give the attire she wore now.

After accepting the hug, he kissed Leyshell's hand.

"I am delighted to see you again," he said. "And yes, it's a rather dark time here, but we move on as the Thorns always have." He then took the wine. "I'm afraid I do not indulge in spirits, but you have my sincere gratitude for the wine anyway. I'll see to it that it is put to good use." He then summoned a House Elf and handed the wine to to him. "Take this to the kitchen and have it chilled. It will be served as a special treat at the midnight ceremony."

"But sir, you already ordered a wine for..." began the House Elf.

"Forgive me, Kribble, but I do not recall the positions of Master and Servant being suddenly reversed," said Thorn, loking at the elf coldly. The elf simply bowed and walked away. Thorn then turned back and smiled at Leyshell, offering his arm to her.

"While I do not partake in spirits, I am certainly intoxicated by your presence," he said. "Would you do me the honor of being my date this evening?"

Leyshell smile as Thad kissed her hand, he was a charmer that's for sure. she pretended not to notice the exchange between him and the house elf, it was none of her concern. Though she was pleased it was going to good use,

"Ah, well i happen to Indulge and i would be honored to be you're date." she said with a smile. Leyshell thrived off of attention, which not many people knew. She wasn't desperate for it, but she did require it to function.....Thad seemed to be a good companion though he was closed off for awhile until recently. He seemed to be Ba material....perhaps she could introduce him to Dominic.

"You have a lovely home by the way, much bigger than my private Manor, though its not the family Manor."

Thorn nodded and smiled to Leyshell when she agreed to be his date for the evening.

"Splendid, Leyshell," he said. "And I promise this will be a evening that you will enjoy a great deal." The thing with Thorn was this: If he hated you or looked down upon you, he will treat you like you were yesterday's rubbish. However if he liked you, he would treat you as an equal. And if he especially fancied you, as Thorn did Leyshell, he would treat you like precious gold.

As he walked with her, he knew other Slytherin girls present were giving Leyshell jealous looks. But let them. He had not felt anywhere as strong a connection to any of them as he did Leyshell Conner. And it wasn't even a romantic connection, as Thorn was not one to bow to physical desire. It was much more than that... a true bond. Leyshell was his opposite in many ways, but those opposites formed a beautiful Yin-Yang or sorts that brought them together as opposed to separating them as rivals.

"Thank you," he said as Leyshell complimented his home. "I'm quite fond of yours as well when I visit. I should like to give you a tour if you so desire to see more of it."

Kat had to admit that she was pretty excited to be reentering what her mother would call “polite society”. She had spent most of the last century of her incredibly long life being the exact opposite of what her parents forced her to be. Now that she wanted a chance to catch up on the life of a student she was going to say yes to any opportunity she could to mingle with her classmates. Thankfully, a party was the perfect way to do that. That was until she realized that this party wasn't exactly like the parties she was used to. It was more something that her father would have thrown. At least she hadn't burned all of the formal dresses she owned.

She decided on a red gown from the back of her closet, and some of her families old jewels. She guessed that was one of the perks nowadays of having old money, and old families. In fact, she was beginning to learn that being a Slytherin was mostly about old families. The blond arrived at the Thorn Manor, and was pleasantly impressed. His house seemed to be just as big, if not a little bigger, than the de la Vega Hacienda in Spain. If it was even still there that is.

She looked back into the reflective surface to check her hair one more time. The messy side bun really complimented the dress. But the time to worry over how she looked was over. If she really worried about it, she could just count on the fact that she was still just as beautiful as when she was just a Veela. Though, if she was being honest with herself, she was just killing time and stalling until she had to go inside. It's just like ripping off a bandaid. She took a deep breath and started walking. It wasn't until she was on the doorstep that she exhaled. Kat walked inside, and immediately noticed that this guy took his lineage seriously. There was even a body guard. She figured the best way to be recognized as polite was to introduce herself to the host. She looked until she found the man named Thaddeus. “Hello. Thaddeus I presume? I'm Katalina de la Vega. I'm new.” New here, at least.

Katrina didn't want to be at Thorn House. She didn't like Thorn. She thought he was a d**k. Plain and simple. She was mainly there because it was an open invitation to Slytherins and she hoped some of her friends in the House could help her keep her mind off the recent death of her mother. Despite the kindness from Cole, Sofie, and other of her friends, the time had been hard for her.

Stepping into the manor wearing a simple black dress and heels, she watched as Thorn gave a girl who introduced herself an empty greeting and then walked on with Leyshell Conner, someone else she didn't care for. She wasn't sure if the girl he treated in such a manner was embarrassed or not, but Kat knew how it felt to be treated like that. Stepping over to the unfamiliar girl, she gave a small smile.

"Don't let Thorn bother you," she said. "He's been riding on an ego trip... well probably since the day he was born. Anyway, name's Katrina Bayne. Don't think I've seen you around Slytherin House, which is odd seeing you look like you're the same year as me." Kat then shrugged it off. "Want to go grab some punch?"

She waited patiently for some kind of response. Then she did get one, just not the one she had been expecting. He completely blew her off. Kat's hand dropped to her side, and for the briefest second, her emerald eyes flashed a deep ruby color. With a deep breath, she drowned the wave rudeness that just washed over her. That was incredibly unpleasant. She was going to have to remember to keep her guard up around the guy with the bowl cut hairdo.

She went to turn around and saw that there was another girl right behind her. She was just about to roll her eyes when she saw the girl smile. Maybe this person won't be so b*tchy. Kat giggled when the girl said that Thorn was just riding an ego trip. The thing about egos is they deflate, eventually. “No you probably haven't. I'm new here this year. I'm Katalina. Katalina de la Vega. I would love some punch.” Maybe manners haven't died since the last time she was in Europe. “I am actually going to be in seventh year. I sort of just transferred in.” That was kind of an understatement.

(Going to go ahead and post as Katrina for now, but after this we should go by a posting order: Leyshell, Thorn, Katalina, Katrina. That way no one looks like they're just standing around like a derp. Will update the order if others join.)

Kat nodded when the girl with a somewhat similar name said she was new. it was unusual for someone to enroll into Hogwarts in their seventh year, but it had happened before so Kat didn't really over think it. The girl seemed pleasant enough to be around and that was good enough for Katrina.

"Well at least you'll know someone when you begin school," she said with a small smile. "Slytherin's not the nicest of Houses, but I can introduce you to some good people." Kat headed over and sniffed the punch bowl just enough to see whether or not somehow had spiked it. It smelled okay and she poured both her and Katalina a cup before handing the girl hers.

"I don't think this party is going to get any more amusing, at least not until this midnight ceremony people keep talking about," she said. "So you just want to pop out to the balcony and chit-chat away from the masses?"

Leyshell smiled and scrunched up her nose "Maybe, another time, i can always visit sometime later. It would be very rude of me to take all your attention when you have a party to host. Then again maybe i just want to show you off" She said with a wink as she wrapped her arms around his. The thing not many people knew was that Leyshell wasn't cold hearted she wasn't guarded either. She was selfish, she was touchy and she was a physical person, Words meant nothing to her if you couldn't show her.

She raised and eyebrow as Thad brushed off a very pretty young lady, which made her feel incredible about herself, not that she let one. She nodded in hello to everyone she came, but stayed away from Katrina they hadn't talked since the Ghoul incident and she felt like the girl had over reacted. no one got hurt....well seriously and most of the ghouls were caught and returned to normal. It was just chaotic.....lots and lost of havoc all caused by her and Katrina, how could the girl not like that?

Thorn turned and smirked at Leyshell. The way he had treated some of his other Slytherin guests since she had obtained his attention showed that he only had eyes and time for her that evening.

"The guests will enjoy themselves with or without my attention," he said. "And likewise, I plan to enjoy my evening in the presence of a beautiful lady." He turned back and looked at Katalina for a moment, showing mild curiosity. This wasn't because he thought she was attractive. Granted she was, but nowhere near as stunning as the young woman with him. It was more because he had never seen her before, and having complete strangers in his House put him on alert. He then turned back to Leyshell.

"Pardon me, my dear, but do you happen to know who that girl is with Katrina?" he asked. "I'm admittedly cautious of someone I don't know walking about my house and consuming my food and drink. I'd also like to know who I might be dealing with at Hogwarts. What do you think? Should we talk to her. Merlin knows she's not getting any proper influence from Katrina Bayne of all people." He raised an eyebrow to Leyshell. If his beautiful friend didn't feel like it, he would wait and inquire later.

Kat followed Katrina, but on her way to the punch bowl, she looked over her shoulder. Her emerald eyes flashed. The girl that she saw stand next to the host, seemed a little unpleasant, and a bit too clingy. Then she saw the bowl hair boy glance over to her. One of her eyebrows raised in response. Before he could turn back to Miss Unpleasant, she turned away first and refocused herself on Katrina. Nothing was going to ruin her first night back in the company of people.

Katrina really bought her attention back to the present when she started talking. “Yes, thanks. At least I'll know one pleasant person when the year starts. And it would be great if I knew more people like you.” She smiled at her new acquaintance. Kat saw how she sniffed the bowl, probably to see if it was more than punch. Kat knew before she even grabbed the glass that there was nothing in it. Vampire senses and whatnot.

So now there was a midnight ceremony. This generation certainly did go all out when they come into a large amount of money. It was something she thought to be very funny. These people weren't nearly as refined or as poised as the purebloods used to be. She wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing just yet. “Sure, it would be nice to get away from all of this for a minute. At least until something good happens.” She gestured for the brunette to lead the way.

Katrina smiled a little and nodded as Katalina thanked her, and said she wanted to know more people like Kat.

"Well I don't know about that," she said. "I'm one of a kind... or at least I like to think I am. But again, there's good people in the House. Good people are at Hogwarts in general. Most of my friends are Slytherin, but I've got a few here and there in the other Houses. I don't do the whole House Supremacy thing or the Blood Supremacy thing... unlike the King of the World over there." Kat motioned to Thorn. "I'd avoid him if I were you. I only came here tonight to get my mind off my... things." Kat didn't want to speak of her mother's recent passing. She didn't want to upset Katalina and if she started talking about it, she would probably get emotional too.

She nodded to Katalina as her new friend agreed to go out to the balcony.

"To be honest, I don't even know if I want to stick around for this ceremony thing," she said. "Knowing Thorn it's probably something creepy. After all, just about everything else about the guy is."

Kat stepped out and sipped her punch. It was really good, but that was thanks to the House Elves, not Thorn.

"So... where are you from if you don't mind me asking?" she asked.
