Malfoy Manor, which had long been unvisited by light, was now a blaze of brilliant illumination.
The dazzling lights and heavy enchantments wove together to create a false prosperity within the manor. Wenxiu Lord stepped out of his carriage, and the other arriving guests turned their heads at the sight of him, whispering in low voices to their companions.

He had not known how one should dress to attend the wedding of a friend in the wizarding world, nor did he wish to dress in a way that was overly peculiar or dazzling and thus draw the attention of others.
