Christmas Party: 12/8/08 - 1/1/09
Attendees: Year 1 - Year 4
RP Date: December 24th
RP Time: Noon - 5pm
RP Location: The Great Hall
Dress Requirement: Warm- mittens, jacket, hat, etc
RP Weather: 26 Degrees & snowing (within the Great Hall, by magic of course)
The large, glittering tree stood tall in the center of the room, shaking with
excitement as the younger years admired its strong limbs that held
multiple, various ornaments and lights. Surrounding the tree were
activites of all sort; a bonfire in one corner for making s'mores and friends
to gather, across the room stood two snow fortresses for snow wars, with
plenty of surrounding snow for ammunition or simply snowman making.
The warm scent of freshly made cookies wafted from a table swamped
with plate upon plate of cookie flavors and mugs of butterbeer and hot
chocolate. The atmosphere was a very relaxed, joyful one. With
christmas songs filling the room.

Eloel's eyes brightened at the sight of the glittering Great Hall, and she took off her charcoal-grey fleece hat to tug at her hair. Shaking her head from side to side, she shook off snowflakes that had come to rest in her hair. She gravitated towards the bonfire, and took a seat by the fire. Her warm figure became warmer still the longer she spent near the flickering light, and she soon felt no need for her hat, pine green toggle-button coat, or her thin grey gloves. Resting her elbows on her knees as they drifted to connect with her chest, Eloel began to sing a holiday carol along with the music playing in the background of the beautiful winter scene. "Sleigh bells ring, are you listening..."

Selena entered the party in a sour mood. 'I'm 14, God's sake! Why do I have to be at a party that has 11 year olds? They should let the fourth years go to the Christmas Ball...darn, I wish I had gotten a fifth year to take me...'
She sulked in a chair in a corner. But her sour mood didn't stop her from pulling out her sketch pad and sketching an image of the Great Hall onto a clean sheet.

Jason was entranced at the decorations the room had. Back in the States the only time he had ever seen snow was when he had gone and visited his grandmother in Michigan and he was just as entranced as he was now. He went over to the table with food and drinks and grabbed a pumpkin juice. He was about to wander off into the snow when he saw a girl with red hair in one of the chairs simply drawing. He grabbed another juice and walked over to her and said,"Hey kinda dull just sitting here, Right?"

Almost completely finished with her sketch, Selena paused when she heard someone address her. Looking up, she saw a boy standing in front of her. A Ravenclaw boy to be exact. The thing that she immediately noticed was that he didn't sound British. 'Must be an American.' she thought to herself.
"This party is rather dull." she replied. "Sitting and drawing about the only things that are interesting here."

"You want one?," he said offering her a pumpkin juice.
"Yah, I kinda noticed.Still why is it there's all this beautiful snow but no one wants to do anything with it?" Jason asked getting kinda flustered at the concept of snow. Then he noticed he sketch book,"Whatcha' drawing?"

Looking at the pumpkin juice and then back at the boy, she said, "Sure." Taking the cup from him, she took a sip of the juice.
When he started talking about the snow, she looked at him incredulously, "Why would anyone want to do something with it in here? There's plenty more of it outside."
She took another sip of pumpkin juice.
When he asked her about her drawing, she turned the sketchbook so that he could see her drawing of the Great Hall.

Jason took a sip from his juice as well."Sorry if I seem naive, its just I've never seem so much of it in one place.' He put down his glass to take a better look at the sketch. " Isn't that the Great Hall? Why you drawing that?Is it because of the dance? I heard it gets dull quite fast. Especially with the pixies."

Selena frowned at him. "Just because I don't care to really be at this party doesn't mean that I don't think the Great Hall isn't well-decorated." She flipped the sketchbook closed and put it away in her bag, along with her drawing pencil.
"I would definitely prefer to be at the dance." she said, taking a sip of pumpkin juice.

"That's probably true that the great hall is better decorated but why not enjoy this year's decorations, its your last year coming to this party anyways." Jason said. Why not enjoy it? he thought to himself. "Its a very nice drawing. I wish I could draw like that." He stared at her for a moment.
"Wait a second... Do you know Damian Richards?"

Selena thought for a moment, not completely seeing his point. She had enjoyed the party her first and second years, but she started to grow tired of them afterwards. Something about them didn't seem as fun as it used to.
Hearing him mention Damian's name, she immediately frowned. This guy didn't even know who she was and yet knew her brother. 'Figures...' she thought. 'The only time anyone ever talks to me is to get to Damian.'
She stood and put the cup, still half-full with pumpkin juice on the table. "Damian is my brother." she said in a small, angry voice. "Now if you would excuse me." She started to leave the room.

As Selena stood to leave Jason panicked,"I'm sorry did I offend you? I didn't mean it like I wanted to meet him. I hate the guy. All he is a stuck up priss. I was wondering cause I was just thinking that I'd like to wipe the smile off his face when it comes to Quidditch this season. I'm sorry." he said dejected and sat down defeated."If you still wanna go, go ahead. It's alright with me."

Selena frowned even harder. "I may not enjoy talking about my brother, but I let no one insult him, especially in front of me." she said angrily.
Pulling out her wand, she cast the Stinging hex on Jason. The thing about the stinging hex was that it was very low-powered, but was still quite unpleasant, causing its victim to feel stung, as though by a bee or a wasp.
"Don't you dare ever badmouth him again." she said, putting her wand away.

Even though Jason knew the counter charm to the jinx Jason said nothing.He knew he deserved it, every little bit. When the stinging finally stopped he said," I'm sorry I won't ever do it again. Can we start over, no jinxes yet? I still don't even know your name." Jason took out his wand and to show he meant no harm put it within her reach so she could take it if needed.

Selena looked apprehensively at the wand and then at Jason and then back at the wand. She didn't take it though.
"Ok." she said, warily. This guy really knew how to get her all riled up and angry. And he didn't even have to know her name to do it. Nor did she have to know his either.
She was seriously confused. First this guy talks about Damian, then insults Damian, and then apologizes for insulting Damian. 'What's going on?' she wondered.
