As you walk into the Great Hall for supper, you realise that tonight there is a feast. The tables are loaded with luscious food - even the Gryffindors are included! But why? It's an ordinary day - isn't it?

Lucius paused at the side door to the Great Hall, and offered his arm to Sara. She looked up at him, her face flushed; she looked happy but nervous. Lucius smiled at her, and patted her hand reassuringly. He knew she didn't like being the centre of attention; but she would get plenty of practice at it - once he'd made his announcement.
He led Sara out into the room, and saw her into her seat. He was aware of the confused glances being exchanged by the staff; they would, no doubt, be wondering why Sara was sitting next to him. He smiled to himself, then turned to face the Hall, waiting until he had the attention of the students.
"I hope you are all enjoying your meal. The feast is my way of allowing you to join in celebrating with me. This afternoon, Sara Desjardins became my wife. I trust that you will show her the respect that her new status requires." He glanced down and nodded slightly to Sara. Then he looked out at the school, and smiled.
"It is, of course, unlucky to toast a new bride with water or juice. And so..." he gestured slightly, and suddenly a filled wineglass appeared in front of every student, with full flagons of wine spaced down the tables. The same had appeared at the staff table - though Sara's glass contained nothing alcoholic, of course - and Lucius turned towards Sara, raised his glass to her, and announced, "Mrs Malfoy."
As he took a sip, he heard the toast repeated, rather raggedly, around the hall. No doubt they were too surprised to respond wholeheartedly, but to be honest, that was not why he had supplied the students with wine. No, that was for his own amusement - it would be entertaining to see the effect that a liberal supply of alcohol would have on these youngsters. One thing was certain, the rest of the staff were in for an interesting night!

All the students in the hall were completely shocked. As were the teachers by the looks on their faces. The toast made by Professor Malfoy to his wife was only repeated by a few scattered people. Everyone was just sitting in stunned silence. But, all the students had noticed it was actually wine on their tables... and pretty much everyone had taken a sip from their glasses.
Cori took a massive gulp from her glass after she'd lazily held it up to toast the new Mrs Malfoy. Hopefully because he was now married that he wouldn't take away the liberties to leave the school grounds whenever she wanted. In fact, this little feast was cutting into her 'extra-curricular activity' time. She was supposed to be meeting some Scottish Quidditch player (she couldn't remember his name) in Hogsmeade. She sighed and refilled her glass, taking another gulp, wondering how long they'd have to stay at this thing.
Jessika felt like gagging. Her mother had told her a lot of stories about Professor Malfoy (a primary one that he preferred his women younger and to be careful if he ever came near her). The groundskeeper was the youngest staff member, so far as Jess had worked out. The poor woman, she probably hadn't known what was going on to begin with, and then it would have been too late. Jess took a drink from her goblet and almost spat it out. Her mother allowed her to have wine sometimes with dinner, but she hadn't been expecting it. She took another sip and looked around at the other students that were happily drinking the alcohol.
Rose, sitting between her husband, Scorpius, and her cousin, Victoire stared, open-mouthed up at the staff table, just as lots of people were doing. She heard Vikki cough beside her and saw her snow white cousin looking down at her goblet. "I know he said it was unlucky to toast with anything but wine... I wasn't expecting him to actually give us wine," the Head Girl chuckled, taking another sip. Rose laughed and picked up her goblet, taking a sip. She smiled and took another one. She was pretty sure this first glass was probably going to make her drunk. She'd just finished breast-feeding her daughter, Hermione, and hadn't had a drop of wine in about a year, not that she'd ever drunk much in the first place. She smiled at Scorpius encouragingly, knowing he must be more shocked and annoyed at this than anyone else in the room. Soon, they'd be able to go back to their little cottage on the grounds, back to Hermione and try to forget about this. "Are you okay?" she asked her husband.
Jezabel was one of the few people that toasted the new Mrs Malfoy. After she'd taken a long gulp from her glass of wine it hit her... Malfoy was kind of related to her now! Ewwwww. Well, would be when Zach married Professor Desjardins... Not that the DADA professor knew that. Not that anyone but herself, her mum and Zach knew that. Her face screwed up slightly at the disgusting thought then she took another drink from her glass.

Scorpius watched, his eyes narrowed, as his grandfather paraded out with the young gamekeeper on his arm. He shook his head slightly - he knew what this looked like, but surely... Then the headmaster made his announcement, and Scorpius just stared at the girl who was - oh merlin, she was now his step-grandmother! Rose laughed and picked up her goblet, taking a sip. She smiled and took another one. She was pretty sure this first glass was probably going to make her drunk.

Soon, they'd be able to go back to their little cottage on the grounds, back to Hermione and try to forget about this. "Are you okay?" she asked her husband. Scorpius turned to look at Rose, still slightly too stunned to speak. He'd missed the toast, but he picked up his goblet and shrugged. Might as well make the best of it. "Yeah - I'm okay," he said slowly. He took a sip of wine, swallowed, and suddenly chuckled. "Oh, I see! I know what he's up to." He might have turned his back on his family, but he could still think like a Malfoy. He smiled at Rose. "She must be pregnant - why else would he marry her? To make the kid legitimate. And then, when he has a new son, he can disown my father! That's - that's - oh, I wish I could see my father's face when he hears!"

Then, he laughed. The red head raised an eyebrow in confusion, until she realised what in the world was so funny. "Oh my!" Rose murmured. "You think so? You know, that's kinda funny." She smiled and took another drink. She thought it served Draco Malfoy right, actually, but she wasn't going to say that outloud. He'd disowned Scorpius, and now he was going to get disowned himself!
