Being a Blaine octuplet had its downfalls. Ok, it had many downfalls, but this had to be the second worst downfall of all the downfalls: parties. Isis had hoped that as soon as she'd turned seventeen and graduated Hogwarts, she could make it on her own and have a nice little flat far away from her parents where they wouldn't be able to find her to drag her to these events. However, thus far, things hadn't worked that way. She was still stuck at home for the most part except on the occasions Killian saved her by asking her on a date. However, given her varying schedule and his Imperium Guard training, those didn't seem to happen nearly as often as she had hoped.
Hopefully she would see him today, though, and without her parents seeing them at that. She really didn't want to be asked, "So, when are you getting married?" or "Why haven't you brought him home? You know we'd love to get to know him!" or any variance thereof. Still, knowing the possible questioning from her parents, she had sent Killian an owl last night asking him to meet her at the party. Hopefully he would be able to oblige. If not, then it would be just another boring party to add to her fairly dull post-school life. At least Hogwarts had sheltered her from the greater majority of parties for nine months at a time.
Still, maybe this one wouldn't be so bad. She actually more or less knew of Lily and Ian, which was more than she could say about the last party she was at. And at least this one she doubted Aether and his little stalker lover would rain on any chance at her having a good time. She hoped, at least. Still, it would be nice to see some of her other siblings tonight. They hadn't seen each other much since graduation given the fact they were all exploring life on their own--all except her, it seemed. But she was saving up. It was only a matter of time, she felt, before she could move out.
