First Year Graduation Party PV 1st Yr Finished

Adresses @Arc Perscivious , Open to Interactions

Tonight was the First Years night. After hearing some Second Years discussing what they'd wear for the Second Year Party, Nico had gotten curious to the First Years Party. She had gotten abit weary and careful after the Blossom Ball. It didn't really go as planned so for this party she wasn't gonna put her hopes up. Ofcourse, that Ball ended differently than she had thought it would... A Gryffindor boy called Alexander had helped her out. She owed him one after he stopped a Huffelpuff from verbally assaulting her. That thought brought a small smile to her face. He was kindhearted and strong too. And... goodlooking. Sigh.

As he was a Second Year, there was no way she'd see him tonight which she honestly thought was a bummer. But she was sure they'd meet up again sometime soon.

At her dorm, Pip watched her comb her hair and eyed at a dress which was put away in a coatbag. He looked up at her as if asking why she isn't wearing it tonight. 'Pip.... I love that dress but.. I'd rather not. I'm just going to keep it casual by wearing my schooluniform. Except...' She carefully lifted up her skirt a little. 'I'll be wearing overknee striped socks today. So I won't be THAT ordinairy, right?' Smiling she tilted her head and finished up preparing her hair. 'I won't be taking you with me, I'll be okey. So, you can have my bed ALL for yourself. Ain't that fun?' Pip squeeked dissapointed and waddled over to her pillow.

Putting on her robes and her faithfull scarf around her neck, Nico looked over her shoulder after adding her wand in her pocket. 'I'll see you later, Pip. I won't be late!'

Quietly, the Slytherin Prefect walked up the stairs, making her way to the Great Hall. Since the Second Years already called dibs on the Ballroom, the First Years had to settle with the main eating hall. Some weren't so happy with this but Nico didn't mind. The Great Hall was big enough defenitely if the chairs and tables would've been moved.

Arriving at the doorway, Nico peeked inside to see if anyone was around. No one ? Oh, there was already someone. He seemed familiar to her... She didn't know him but she had defenitely seen him before... but where. Her iceblue eyes scanned the room and soon she would feel obligated to maybe say 'Hi'. He did pick a seat near the food tables. There's no way she could just ignore him, right? That would be rude. Especially since they were the first ones there.

Nico sighed. Why...did this have to happen to her? But no matter! She straightened her back and took a deep breath. Finally walking over to the foodtables, she kindly nodded at the boy before watching the many trays of food. She tried to calm down, to think of something to say. As soon as the boy would've looked the other way, she'd observe him. What could she speak to him about... Picking up a cupcake, Nico carefully pulled it apart, piece by piece, eating it quietly.

She set a few steps closer his way and gently leaned against the table.

'S-So... Is.. there a reason why.. I might've seen you before?'

Softly munching on the pieces of cupcake, her eyes drifted to the kids who arrived, in groups or alone. She didn't want to stare at him. That could probably look maybe intimidating. She was curious and wanted to open up to people. Socialising had become easier but it chilled her to the bone still.

Elena just, watched from the corner of the ballroom, oddly enough everyone else felt like they were wrong and evil. Even the girl from ROAM, not right, none of them were, it was almost like everyone but Elena had a Terrible Presence.

The girl looked around, this was it? The second year graduation party was a lot better, there were professors and stuff there, and there wasn’t just two random prefect children that made her finely honed instincts want to run and hide. Her less rational brain also just said they were boring, very boring, and that hanging out with these people would make her want to hit her head against a brick wall. Repeatedly.

“Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this, I’m an antisocial pessimist but usually I don’t mess with this and I know you mean only the best and you’re intentions aren’t to bother me but honestly I’d rather be.” Elena sang to herself as she left the great hall, “Somewhere with my people, we can kick it and just, listen to some music with a message, like we usually do and we’ll discuss our big dreams, how we plan, to take over the planet. So pardon my manners...”

Elena Jones Arrived, Realised Arc Had Terrible Presence and that nobody who was there except Arc would bother to talk to me, and promptly left. Have fun kids.

A first-year party again? Luna read the letter that she had received from her Head of The House over and over again. She had never really talked with this professor, which was why the only reason she could send the lavender-haired girl a letter must be because of prefect's duty. And as she thought, it was true. She asked the lavender-haired to go to a party that would happen today since the professor couldn't attend.

The party for the first year since the summer break would happen soon. Luna didn't know this, but even if she did, she wouldn't go. However, she couldn't refuse her Head of the House's request either. Sighing, the young prefect put the letter back on the table and took a look around her dorm. She had decided, between going and not to go.

"Maybe..." She mumbled, picking up her prefect's badge and put it in her pocket bag. "This is enough." No need to wear other things, or bring other stuff. She would just wear her normal Slytherin uniform instead of wearing any sparkling dress like last time. It was so annoying, especially when she was only there for the prefect job. So, she should only bring her prefect badger with... Her eyes dropped on another thing that was lying on her table. "And just in case..." She picked up her wand, and also put it in her pocket. No one knew what would happen, so just in case she would bring her wand with her. Looking at her skirt, the girl shook her head. Nope, she would just let down her hair and wear her pants like normal.

Patting her cat, she sighed. "Well then Ray, I have to go now." She was not sure if pets were allowed in the party, but she felt like she shouldn't bring him with, in case something happened. She had already lost trust in the professors here. They were only supported to do their job right, but they failed. She would respect them, but she doubted that she would trust them fully. Those professors... Luna shrugged and walked out of the dorm. None of her business anyway.

When she was going to enter the party, she walked by someone really familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was. That girl had blue hair... That sounded like someone she had met before, but when she looked closer, that girl was unfamiliar. Nevermind about that, the party had just started, and she just left immediately? Whatever, it was her choice.

Once she got in, she didn't hesitate and walked to the corner. It wasn't too easy to observe others from this place, but she didn't want to be in the crowd either. Her eyes stopped on where the food was placed. Maybe she could get some for Ray, of course, it wouldn't be sweets. She had heard that cats couldn't eat things like chocolate, so no.

And then, she also realized a familiar face. It was Nico Shymane, her Slytherin colleague, she hadn't met that girl for so long... well, outside the dorm. She had no intention to talk with the girl though because she seemed to like to have a conversation with another first-year guy near her. Talk about that, he looked kind of familiar too. Nah, there was no way she had met a guy like that...

Thea walked into the Great Hall and was astonished at how it was turned into a true discotheque. Her outfit was quite off from the theme which was as well disco, but she didn't have much time to put it all together, so she did what she could. A striped, multicolored shirt, a small jean shirt with painted flowers on the pockets, white, blue, and red nike shoes, black belt and backpack, and finally a jean jacket.

It turned out different than she had hoped for, but it was good to have a special occasion to get dressed up for. The hall itself resembled the theme as well, candles replaced with mini disco balls that floated around a big one that was in the center.

As she walked in, a girl she knew already walked out, Elena Jones, however she was leaving so Thea didn't bother stopping her. She looked over at the other students who were there. Two Slytherins, both girls, one of which appeared to be a prefect, and a Ravenclaw boy, who was also one. She didn't know any of them, so she just sort of stood in the middle of the entrance, astonished by everything she was looking at.

Despite the main things she had noticed, the long tables were also gone, and the ceiling which used to look as if it were open to the sky was now mirroring the dance floor. She took anither step forward with her mouth agape.

The music was playing, but not from a muggle device as you would expect - it was frogs, each of them having a different way of... Well... Playing instruments? Sounding? Despite everything being pretty much perfect, and her knowing that Hogwarts was a safe space, she couldn't exactly get in the right mood, as if something was looming over the entire great hall.

The Hufflepuff still stood in the middle of the entrance, so she quickly moved over to one side where she'd be less of a bother.

Parties were supposed to be fun celebrations, which was why Koko had thrown on a pair of violet Converse and a white blouse, all set with a dark pair of jeans. She was dressed like a Muggle. But these clothes were super comfortable, were they not?

The girl made her way to the Great Hall carefully. She didn't want to slip and fall, as she wasn't used to these shoes, but she also wanted to get there in a hurry. And when she finally arrived, fear grabbed her shoulders and shook her intensely. Yes, fear. Fear of a certain violet-haired student ( @Luna Choi ) that she would be avoiding if all went well.

She saw a person talking to said purple-haired girl, and Koko made a quick decision to avoid that girl ( @Elena Jangleton ) as well. She was probably just as terrifying. Koko was always one to leap to conclusions, but this, she knew, had to be the right thing to do. Anyone to trust the prefect had to be insane.

And then Koko saw someone that she might make conversation with - that one girl who had gone with her to stalk a detention. Koko flipped her hair, which was tied in a braid, over her shoulder as she strode up to the other Slytherin whose name she couldn't remember. "I remember you... Weren't you there when Fridge gave a detention to that Hufflepuff?" Koko smiled grandly. "That day was one of the best of my life." Yes, this little child could be ruthless at times. She would have forced that girl to go clean the stables in Care of Magical Creatures. But she supposed what Fridge had done would suffice.

Seeing what the Slytherin in front of her (@Illowy Magnard) wore, Koko began to feel a bit out of place. At least she had dressed up. She hadn't come wearing her school uniform, though she didn't look half bad in it. She did, however, see a redheaded girl wearing her school uniform ( @Nico Shymane ) and felt tempted to talk to her. Still, Koko was feeling a bit shy, and she didn't want to talk to any level of authority just yet. Even if it was a girl in her own year who was a level of authority... Just no. Koko was fine talking to normal Slytherin First and Second Years. Prefects, she had decided, were scary.

Yeah... no.

Another party? Jeez, Hogwarts threw these things out like they were participation certificates. People constantly got hurt at these parties, and fights always broke out. After owling Serena for a bit, Millie had gotten the gist of what had happened at the Blossom Ball the year prior. But Serena hadn't attended the second ball, and neither had Millie. Not that she was particularly fond of events, that was a stretch.

But as fate would have it. she found herself walking to the Great Hall. She decided that at least, she could say hi to one of her friends and then bail. Maybe she could get a group of her friends and all of them could bail this stupid party. Not that that Ravenclaw prefect, Arc, hadn't put any thought into this. It was obvious the boy had.

The temptation to leave the party as soon as she arrived as very strong. She didn't recognize anyone, and she didn't want to start a conversation with someone new. It wasn't as though she disliked talking to people, but she just didn't like talking to unknown people. Or starting conversations- yeah maybe she was a little bit antisocial.

"This is a nice party and all, but I think I'm going to bail." She mumbled to herself. Without staying in the Hall for more than ten minutes, she walked off.
