The day had started off tense, as things often had when she was at home for holiday. When father was busy, anyway. And when was he not busy? Ambrosia was a thorn in Liliana's side, as always. Everyone else was either in the way or trying to put her in a bad mood. Cad, for example. Continuously enjoying to point out that she would be under his mercy were father to die before she married. Which lead her to remind him about how much father liked her company better. She always fancied herself as the favorite in their father's eye. Whether this was true was beside the point.

Dragging her secret half-sister aunt to the dress shop was the only delightful thing in the day thus far. A dress for the coming out ball was a must to be found soon, for fittings and minor adjustments to make things perfect took time if one wanted to look spectacular. And father would never let Ambrosia deny her that. Liliana would never let Ambrosia deny her that.

As one who was not 'out', it was perfectly reasonable to not yet be recognized. She certainly would be by the end of the first week of the season. Even if that meant her father chaperoning her personally to every party she could manage. Finding a husband by the end of season was her dream, if only to then rub it into Ambrosia and Cad's faces. "My name is Miss Liliana Selwyn. I am a seventh year at Hogwarts, so I have not yet been introduced into society." She replied politely. Until she had a reason to give the cold shoulder, she was perfectly polite girl. Unless one was obviously poor. Then a hint of chill wasn't too out of line. Did they truly have to insult her eyes by dressing like they were poor?
