Summer Camp Bracelet Making Open Closed

It was rude not to accept an invitation, this had been instilled into Angellica's head from a young age. Though she had lacked a lot growing up, like making bracelets and skipping rocks over a body of water, she was gaining a lot of this knowledge at the Hogwarts Summer Camp. So far things had been rather simple, even if the blonde wasn't particularly good at them, they were down to earth so to speak, but this, this was entirely different. When she walked into the tent, she wasn't prepared for the amount of pink that the room held. It was larger than it appeared, and much more elegant than she had imagined such an affair to have. Something her mother would have approved of certainly.

First to arrive, she carried a small kraft covered box with a pink bow and a small bouquet of deep pink peonies. When she'd heard word of Professor Bercegeay's Birthday, she had owled her mother for a little something to offer. Though she didn't know much about the professor, and she had made a point to explain the woman had been part of a quidditch team, she was certain her mother had ignored her wishes for something relevant. In fact, she wasn't sure what was in there, but it was better than being empty handed.

She was glad she'd donned the dress her mother had sent with it. There was nothing quite like being underdressed for such an event. Eying the table, she enjoyed the sights, a grin beaming over her features. There were macarons! Oh she could only hope some of her favoured flavours were around. Of course, this only furthered her opinion of Olphie. She was too good for them, it explained why she had trouble with names. Marching forward with the pride of a Rowley, she made her way to the professor in charge.

"Miss Bercegeay," she greeted with a smile. "I owled my mother when I heard it was your birthday," she extended the flowers and box. "You don't have to open it now, perhaps I should put it on the gift table?" she said looking around as she assumed she would find one not too far away.

The flight from home to Gatwick airport was less than subpar. For one, the in-flight food was delivered mushy, cold, and much too bland for Nadège's travelled palate. Second, the woman couldn't get her seat to recline when she was ready to sleep, and had to accept dozing off upright. But it wasn't as if she expected anything else. The professor was a woman who had a lot of love in her heart for many things, but flying had never been one of them - not by plane and certainly not by broom.

Perhaps her own acrophobia was the reason why Nadège had yet to formally try to know the Flying instructor. That, and, her impressive ability to get sidetracked with most important things unless it concerned her line of work. Thankfully, Nadège was safely back from the Caribbean after leaving in early July, returned to the hills of Scotland once more. The petite woman had set time aside to put up her belongings in her room before she even thought about joining the festivities. Although she had missed a few summer camp activities, she would remain at Hogwarts until the start of term. Now would be the optimal time to mingle with more students and professors before classes started up and her schedule was made busy yet again.

Nadège walked through the campgrounds, her colourful cape flowing behind her as she went. In her hand she held a small, wrapped box with a gift inside; a pair of dainty, coral earrings, in celebration of Ms. Bercegeay's birthday. She obviously didn't know Olphie's style too well, but hoped she would like them nonetheless. They were quite popular among tourists in her country. It was a good thing that she thought to get them from a shop before leaving.

Entering the party area, Nadège made her way through the pathway of floating pictures. She thought they were a nice touch, especially how they lead to the party area itself, which Nadège soon found herself in. Looking around, hat she noticed besides the boldness of the pink themed decor, was that the area wasn't very populated yet; only two other students and the party woman herself. 

She walked towards the ladies to greet them, giving the tall boy a big smile as she did. "Isn't it?" she responded at his display of excitement. Standing in front of the pair, she clasped her hands behind her with the gift in-between. "Good afternoon. Feliz cumpleaños, to you Professor Bercegeay. Did you do all of this? It's nice. Positive energies all around. Hello there." she said to the blonde student, not wanting to leave her out of the conversation.

Hjørdis had no idea why she was doing this but a part of her felt responsible - or perhaps it was a simple lack of trust on Bercegeay's capabilities. In either case, she made her way down to the grounds to see if the flying professor required any assistance in setting up the 'Bracelet Making' workshop that was being run today. It sounded like a very fun event, to be honest. The Head of Slytherin loved jewellery, which was evident by the fact she was always wearing plenty of it. Sadly, she could not say she was pleased with the company. 

She stopped abruptly as her eyes fell onto the decorations from a distance. The event looked like anything but a bracelet making event. Slowly, and cautiously, she walked closer to see a huge photo wall had been put up. It was full of plenty of photos of Olphie Bercegeay. Hjørdis resisted the urge to massively facepalm at the sight. Her colleague had turned the event into... what appeared to be a party for herself. Did she really want to have a birthday party with students? If nothing else, Hjørdis could not help but wonder if the woman had any friends her own age that she would rather hang out with. But... she decided not to  ask.

Instead, she just walked around the newly set up party and examined it. There was a table of very very pink food, that she spotted the minute she walked in even though it was on the other side of where she was standing. She was beside a tent, that appeared to led to a giant birthday cake. And... Her eyes widened a little. Was that a giant cardboard cut out of Ryker? Hjørdis had no idea how this woman's mind worked but a part of her was a little horrified. Did Ryker know of this strange obsession the woman seemed to have of him? If not, he probably would now.

The Slytherin just sighed softly as she moved to examine the Bracelet Making section, which was part of the original plan. Well, it was the main focus of the original plan that had been swallowed up in a whole lot of pink. She tried to not stand out, just opting to look around and then leave. But her very blue top clashed against the decor quite brightly. Sigh. She supposed to ought to have brought the woman a present but... well, she had no idea this was going to be turned into a birthday party. That was definitely not part of the plan. Then again, even if she knew, would she really have bothered to spend money on someone she did not like? Unlikely. 

Looking over, she spotted Nadège being far more friendly and polite than she was. Hjørdis could not help but chuckle a little. They were very different. She made her way over, deciding that today of all days, she ought to give Bercegeay another chance, "Good afternoon," She greeted the two Professors and the girl that had approached her, "It's certainly rather... energetic." She added on the end of Benoit's words, unsure of how best to describe the event. It was very... pink. "Many happy returns of the day, I believe, Professor Bercegeay," She continued, wishing her a happy birthday in her own way.

Serena rubbed her eyes, stifling a yawn. The afternoon heat was making her tired. It was actually rather pleasant for once in Hogwarts but boy, oh boy, was she getting sleepy. However, today there was a task that sounded rather exciting. Making bracelets. Not that she had ever tried before but it just sounded rather fun. She did like getting crafty sometimes and this seemed like a good opportunity to get on board and perhaps learn a new skill. Maybe she could make herself something pretty to serve as a reminder of all of the things she wanted to achieve this year...

In any case, she made out of the boat and down to the campgrounds. Her eyes lit up, the smile falling on her face as she looked at the decor. There was so much going on, she had no idea where to even begin to look. Walking through a photo wall, Serena grinned as she saw moving pictures of the flying professor, who looked so happy.

Her eyes hit a table of delicious looking food, all a variety of pink. Whilst she was not normally a fan of pink, she could not resist food. Food was always nice. "Woahhh." She muttered under her breathe as she rushed to the food. A hufflepuff always liked food. This was evident by the fact that her fellow hufflepuff was standing by it too, "Quinn! Hey, how's it going? Tried anything?" She asked him as she approached the boy who was so much taller than her that she had to massively tilt her head to see his eyes. "Ooh I think I need some cake." She continued, talking more to herself as she eyed up the variety of cake that was being offered. The sight of food seemed to spark a bit of life into the otherwise sleepy badger.
