Jess followed her feet to where Dopple said Severus and Magda were. She had control of herself for the moment, but it wouldn't be for long; this was Dopple's plan, this was her adventure now, Jess was just along for the ride.
She could tell her brother from the crowd as he was wearing what he normally would wear. It was a costume to these people and he didn't care, she wondered if she had time to ask about his life before, his life at Hogwarts-
No Nutty, you don't have flippin time. Ain't no party like a Dopple Party and the Dopple Party HASN'T FUCKING STARTED YET
Jess cringed as she came up to them "Evening."

Severus spun around to see his sister in a white gown her face contorted in agony "Are you all right?" He reached out and took her elbow.

"Migraine. Biggest one of my life on the most important day of my life. It figures honestly" Jess turned awkwardly to Magda and gave a little bow "Magda."

"Jessica."
Magda's lids settled a little coolly.

That was to be expected and she held nothing against her. Jess's past discretion's and the fact that Dopple did try to kill all of them at one point weren't something she ever expected anyone to forgive her for. She smiled but there was nothing behind it, just a curl of the lip meant to put people at ease.
"I'm- I'm glad you could make it."
They can't stop me this time pumpkin pooper.
Jess's head turned slightly to the right to catch the eye of four henchclones and Dopple Lilly staring straight at her.

Dopple Lilly nodded and they blended in to the crowd, breaking eye contact quickly.
The poor woman, the queen was going to tear her apart from the inside.

The henchclones moved through the crowd to the front of where Jess would be making her speech and stood there with a quiet intensity. Which was really just because they were trying their best not to drool on their suits.

Severus narrowed his eyes "I'm still unsure as to why you invited us to this, I could have come at a more decent time to check the artifacts" he kept his voice low, but pointed at his sister "you're sure to understand how odd this all is."

"After this I'll have no opportunity to actually interact or even be near the objects" I'll be too busy being insane "this was the only way. You'll have to forgive me" her voice caught in her throat.

"And there would be no way for Severus to do it without you?" Magda interjected.

"Nobody else believes me that there is something wrong with the artifacts" she sighed "even if I came up with some story about who he was and said he was just there to examine them they'd tell me to shove it. My credibility at this point is hinging almost completely on my celebrity" a woman walked past and shook Jess's hand, Jess promised they'd speak later. "This night is suppose to save my career" she'd told no one how dire it was, her continued insistence that the artifacts be kept away from public view made the stuffy old man club weary.
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts dee-da-lee-deeee

"How quickly may we get to them" he sounded urgent.

It doesn't matter, this whole conversation doesn't matter whyyy are we having it. Lookie lookie I'm done, I'm completely done.
Jess's arms swung out quickly and took her brother by the neck and pulled him to her "I've a speech to give" she held him tightly "and afterwards we can disappear to the back where the remaining artifacts are. Then you two are welcome to get as far out of dodge as you want."

"I am knowing you did not ask," Magda said brightly, "but my neck does much better now. I cannot be saying the same about the leg of Severus, though-"

Jess shuddered, vivid memories of the night Dopple tried to kill them flooded her mind. She shut her eyes "I'm so sorry-"
I was the one who crippled him what are you sorry about?
