The room appeared to be on the fuller side. Lord Voldemort kept the edge of the room with many Death Eaters making their way discreetly to pay their respects. She noticed a few of the families Bellatrix called social climbers. The Macmillan and Patils sat together chatting as their children mingled. The Parkinsons were keeping Pansy on a short leash, much to Hermione's amusement. As most of the others avoided Pansy to stay on the Lestranges" and Hermione's good side, she looked bored beyond belief. "Such a shame," thought Hermione, "couldn't happen to a more deserving girl." She smirked at her thought. Across the room, she noticed Lisa Turpin and Marietta Edgecombe flirting with Adrian, who engaged but didn't seem interested in closing the deal. Cassius escaped Millicent Bulstrode by dancing with his mother. She smiled to see them thinking about the consequences. Nibbling on her pastry, Hermione noticed the Minster of Magic, Pius Thickness, mingling with a few other department heads. All in all an illustrious turnout, fitting Rabastan's standing in society. She sighed, the turnout meant years of Penny's family angling for invites to events none of the Lestranges wanted to host.
