Walburga hated these pureblood families formal events.

It wasn't always the case, but with her eldest child disowned, and her husband ill. She found no joy in such events which she felt obliged to attend. She could reject the invitations, but then word will spread and who knows what kind of rumors other families like Yaxley and Travers would make about her, and her family.

Not bothering to socialize, Walburga was seated away from the main crowd. Watching them with disdain.
