HOGWARTS GOT TALENT
Hogwarts Pride Festival Errand Thread
The sun shined brightly, reflecting in the Great Lake not too far away. It was early in the afternoon - perfect time for a bit of food and some fun. It was easily recognisable by the large bunting and banners that surrounded a portion of the grounds. To enter, students would have to walk through a large archway with flag bunting around it and ribbons with every colour of the rainbow hanging down. Once they walked through the ribbons, they would enter into the event. Nearby, there was a large bowl of pronoun badges, if any students wanted to take some. Some badges just had the pronouns, others had a space to write their own. Some were one colour with text in another colour, others had the colours of a flag on them. There were plenty of options and students were bound to find something that represented them.
A BBQ grill was set up, with some long tables and your favourite Head of Hufflepuff could be seen in his very colourful hawaiian shirt, a pair of cargo shorts and sunglasses. More than being easily spotted in his outfit that likely had every colour of the rainbow on it, he could also be heard humming something or another. Students could grab some barbecued food and enjoy the show.
On the grass, there was a large square platform that had been raised by a couple of feet and had stairs on either side. There were poles in each corner with bunting between them. The stage itself was relatively empty, but students were told that they would be supplied with whatever they needed for their performance, so a small tent with some supplies, like chairs, a changing area, some accessories etc was not too far. The tent was clearly labelled as “performers only”.
Surrounding the platform, there were different coloured picnic blankets and another pile more to the side. At first glance, they would look like simple cotton blankets. However, on closer inspection, it would be clear that each of them were intentionally picked for a reason. There were solid colours - hot pink, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, indigo and violet. For those who weren’t aware, these were the colours of the original pride flag, representing sex, life, healing, sunlight, nature, art, harmony and spirit. Ther were also blankets with multiple colours - each representing the different flags.Students did not have to pick one that represented themselves but they could if they wished to.
Students could eat and watch the talent show - or better yet, perform in it and watch the others. Hjørdis stressed that the talent part was entirely subjective and they could do anything they wanted, as long as it was in the spirit of the event. She was hoping to see a variety of talents - perhaps some musicians playing songs from LGBTQ+ artists or someone showing off their own artwork, maybe an educational speech/presentation on the history of Pride or an interactive quiz or hopefully she would see another drag performance. The last one she saw was from a student who had graduated last summer. The list was endless though. The event focused more on celebrating people and recognising progress.
Not too far from the BBQ, there were some additional long tables with chairs. The tables had several large platters of food that could be decorated. A bunch of arch shaped or rectangle cookies that could be turned into rainbows or flags, sweets and chocolate in different colours and shapes or some plain cupcakes that were ready to be iced.
Hjørdis sat on a rainbow picnic blanket, with a colourful plate that had a Halloumi Burger on it. There was a tall bottle next to her that was filled with lemonade that had been freshly made. She wasn’t one to own or wear incredibly colourful items but she did have a rainbow coloured crocheted cardigan on. She was not too far from the BBQ that she had been helping at only a few moments ago - before she got hungry and decided to be the first to start eating.

After doing the parade and making a few sketches Damien felt a little hungry and remembered them mentioning how there was a BBQ as well as a talent show going to be happening soon. He didn’t think he’d be apart of the talent show as he didn’t quite have any of his art pieces ready for a event like this so he made a mental note to make one for next year. Plus with him being hungry he decided to check out the BBQ and get some food. He passed through the color archway with the different banners on it as he looked on in awe. He noticed a little bowl that had pins in it with pronouns on it he decided to grab one that said He/Him on it and had the bi flag as its background. He pin it to his robes before walking through the event looking around at the place.
He noticed the BBQ food they had set up as well as plates for anyone to go up and get their food. Damien noticed he seemed to be the first one here which was good because it meant he could get his food and pick a nice and quiet place to settle down and watch the talent show. He walked over and gently grabbed a plate before grabbing a few different pieces of BBQ before walking over towards the table that had a few sweets on them and grabbed a few of them as well. He noticed you could even decorate the cookies and smiled softly as he thought that was a brilliant idea and used the icing that was provided to make his be the bisexual flag colors before heading to one of the picnic blankets and choosing a Indigo one that was sorta in the back so he could be away from a lot of people. As he was earring he noticed someone familiar to him and smiled happily as he waved at them.“Hey! Cirrus over here!” He said as he waved at Cirrus to come join him.

Phoenix Zhang
Hogwarts Got Talent
Phoenix had no intention of staying around after the parade. She had promised herself she would make an appearance, be spotted, smile and nod a time or two, and be gone the moment everyone had forgotten where she was. Maybe even less. She wasn't quite a join in and celebrate kind of woman—not that she had any particular disdain for the celebration, simply that she had no idea what to do with herself in the midst of something so loud, so charged with significance she didn't quite understand.

But she did not go when the parade ended. Music wound down and ended. Others near her began walking in various directions, some off towards the lake, some towards flags flapping at the field's edge. Phoenix lingered behind, hands in the pockets of loose-fitting pants, feigning attention towards something on the horizon, as if still hesitant.
She might have gone away. It would've been easy. But a combination of the gentle breeze and the smell in the air of slightly burnt food beckoned her. It wasn't cold but nor hot, the kind of touch a summer day will sometimes deliver that good in-between place. And the air did not feel like it was shutting in on her. It seemed open. Inviting, even if not exactly to her.
Therefore, she did.
The entrance to the remainder of the party could not be avoided—a massive arch draped in ribbons of multicolored string and bunting, the kind that she normally mocked. This time she merely glanced at it, then passed through. Her face and shoulders brushed against the ribbons, soft and murmuring, like a curtain opening.
Beyond the archway, the grounds had been laid out in a manner somewhere in between a picnic and a carnival. A table greeted her first—a broad table filled with a massive bowl of badges. Pronouns. Phoenix stood before them, examining them. Some were simple: "he/him," "she/her," "they/them." Some were scribbled in by hand in blank lines. Some in flag colors. She didn't take one. Not that she didn't want to, but… she had no idea what it might read. For now, it seemed simpler not to choose anything.
Her dress wasn't party clothing, exactly—loose-fitting cream-colored pants flowing over her sneakers, a plain gray tank top, and an open blue-and-brown plaid flannel shirt layered over that. Her hair, in a low ponytail, a bit rumpled from before but she had not taken the time to tease it out. This qualified in her world as getting dressed up: low effort, practical, and not trying to make a style point.
On either side of the door stood the grill, where the unmistakable figure of the Hufflepuff Head of House grilled burgers in a shirt so garish it was almost agonizing to behold. She smiled slightly on catching sight of him—there was a kind of charm in his unremitting bad taste, even though she would never admit it aloud.
Instead of approaching straight to the food, she strolled. Picnic blankets had blanketed the lawn, and at first, she'd thought that they were placed in anticipation of people to sit on. But then, walking by, she realized that all of them had a purpose—solid colored ones from the actual pride flag, and colored ones representing identities she barely recognized. She had no idea what most of them represented, but they had been placed with care. It wasn't an accident. It was thoughtful.
In the center of it all stood a small platform, raised. Students were starting to cluster about it, muttering in clusters, while others poked through books or peered at equipment. To one side stood a “Performers Only” tent, unadorned and simply labeled. Phoenix did not even look in its direction long. She did not sing, or dance, or paint. She did not possess a talent that you brought to a field filled with rainbows and presented to the world.
She drifted finally to a tall table heaped with sweet goods: plain cupcakes, bowls of icing in a spectrum of colors, sprinkles separated by shape and hue. She stood next to it, half-interested but taking none. The toppings were neat and playful and untouched. As if in anticipation.
She never spoke a word to anyone. She didn't have to. Her presence was silent, perhaps even invisible to those who looked for noise and sparkle and yelling. And yet, she was here.
She had no label or flag to perform or present. She played no part in the commemoration. Nevertheless, she stayed ─────

XX | Cirrus exhaled, clutching his stomach as it sunk in and yelled not so nice words at him in growls and grumbles. His eyesbrows knitted together in frustration as he trudged forward, each step feeling heavier as the last. The boy had used so much energy from the march he wasn't sure how much longer he could go on, but of course he was just being a dramatic 11 year old. But he was a growing boy what could he do besides eat the whole down? Or more specifically eat the whole barbeque? As soon as the barbeque hits his nostrils it was like pure Bliss, drawing him in closer as he made his way to the tables stacked high with delicious foods. And as he neared he begun to realize that this would not be his day, most of the foods were an array of... Different meats and cookies. The most unfortunate outcome, and of course he found a couple roasted veggies but then it became the matter whether or not they had been cooked together on the grill. He could feel like he could cry, as the truth was Cirrrus and his family were all vegetarians.... Furthermore, Cirrus was deathly allergic to eggs, which most likely the cookies contained. He fought back the tear that attempted to escape his eye, clenching his fist as a way to soothe his tormented stomach. If it had been a restaurant Cirrus would have asked no problem, but being around his peers and such he didn't want to be that person or be seen anything but another normal kid. So yes, societal pressures got to the boy from time to time, he just convinced himself that later he would just eat at the great hall. And seeing the meat and his fear of eggs was honestly enough to ruin his appetite. He settled on a bag of popcorn, a perfect snack for the talent show! He wanderered around the space for a bit, gazing at all the different assortments and keepsakes. Only if he had known they had provided badges, he wouldn't have asked his mom for something... But honestly knowing her, she probably enjoyed the little DIY projects, she wasnt an art teacher without reason. It wasn't much of a suprise to Cirrus that he had been one of the first to arrive for the event. He always found himself quite early to scheduled things, honestly a good habit that would come useful to him in the future. Anyways he had to make sure to keep a good time on everything, or else how would he be able to ensure time with all his friends, study, self-reflect, and write to his parents and newborn sister? Well.... She couldn't read but— you get the point! Speaking of studying, Cirrus had also started taking time to research different career paths for his future. Settling on either becoming a magical doctor of some sort, most preferably a veterinarian for magical creatures at that. “Hey! Cirrus over here!” The mousy haired boy was pulled out of his thoughts as he honey gaze fell upon a Ravenclaw he knew quite well, with fluffy brown hair and sapphire eyes. "Hi Damien!" Cirrus grinned largely as he made his way over to the back where the other sat. He plopped down next to him, popping a piece of buttery popcorn in his mouth, letting out a satisfying crunch. Cirrus noticed that pinned to his black robes were a the bisexual colors and that he had a cookie just to match! That was the second person that day he had met who was in the bi spectrum, as his closer friend Aodhan had also identified as such. "Hou've ye been?" The hufflepuff asked Damien politely and genuinely. Only now realizing that this was the very first time the two had hung out outside of their potions class, they had been assigned as partners in the beginning of the year and had gotten along quite well. So it was surprising to think that chilling away from class had never occurred but also, Cirrus had started off the school year super discombobulated and shy. And Damien didn't seem quite the extrovert either considering his first choice of seating. |

Damien greeted him with a friendly smile as he made room for him to sit and get more comfortable. Damien knew Cirrus quite well actually they were potions partners for the whole year and it was quite the experience Damien had to say. At first it was a little awkward as Cirrus was very shy and didn’t speak much and Damien well he wasn’t no better but eventually they got out of their shells and began to really know each other better as Damien learnt a little bit about the muggle world thanks to him not a whole lot but a little bit. He watch him as he sat down next to him and pop a piece of popcorn into his mouth before chewing it as it made a loud crunch sound. Damien laughed as he observed that he didn’t know why but most things Cirrus did he found hilarious and he loved it as it was nice to be around someone who didn’t have pureblood parents who were very strict or had standards as they could just be themselves. He smiled as Cirrus asked him how he was doing, he grabbed his cookie and took a bite out of it gently before smiling at him.“im doing well how are you doing ? And i like all of the badges on your jacket”He said softly as he stared at them trying to figure out what badges were on his jacket. As he slowly inspected them on by one he saw a few different pride badges as well as one that intrigued him deeply, it was a orange badge with a white circle on it that had writing that read Dragonball Z. What is Dragonball Z? He thought to himself as he looked at it confused before deciding to ask Cirrus. “Hey um Cirrus….what is Dragonball Z ?…I couldn’t help but notice one of your badges had it written on it and i won’t lie it intrigued me quite a bit”He said softly as he looked at him. |

Song:
Lily had decided to enter the Hogwarts Got Talent, talent show and to say she was nervous was a slight understatement. She was going to sing the song Diamonds by Sam Smith and she could sing well, she knew that but this was out of her comfort zone. She didn't usually sing in front of people that was not her usual mojo. However, the minute she saw food her mood went up and she forgot her nervousness. Once she had ate enough to fill her up, she went over the lyrics to the song as well as practicing while she waited for her name to be called. Once her name was called, she stepped up and thought of her friends, AngelFyre and Simon, as well as her brother, Colin and Liam McCoire to ground her as she sang hitting almost all the notes correctly. She missed just a couple notes but that was okay. Not everything had to be perfect. Once her audition was over, she stepped down and watched the other people audition as she waited to hear the verdict of whether or not she lost, which she was expecting that. She didn't really want to win, that wasn't the point of the show. It was to have fun and be true to yourself.

—date. [ 06/07/25 ]———hair color. [white]———height. [5'10"]———outfit. [durmstrang]——————------------------------ There were two other sections which had been set up for the Pride celebration. One had @Hjørdis Jensen in charge and the other had @Mylo Atkins who had moderated the last duel of the season for Kim. He was familiar with both of them, although wouldn't exactly say they were friends. Choosing to first go for the BBQ to get something to eat, and hoping to skip the talent show, Kim headed there first. Upon arriving at his destination, the duelist walked under the large archway as Kibō looked up at all the colorful decorations and hissed his appreciation from Kim's left shoulder. Kim took a pronoun badge for he/him and pinned it onto his red Durmstrang uniform. He glanced around, taking in his surroundings and zeroed in on the BBQ grill. Kim grabbed some BBQ food and then headed towards the long tables where food could be decorated. He chose a seat near some of the rectangle shaped cookies and plain cupcakes, along with a variety of different colors and edible decorations. This was something he actually would enjoy doing because he'd always loved cooking and baking things. Decorating only tended to make things better for those who consumed. Placing his food plate down, he got started by picking up some white icing to smooth it onto the cookie before him. The first trick was to get the white base to be thin enough to be able to work with but thick enough so it wouldn't show any cookie beneath. Lost in thought, Kim completely forgot about where he was and who was around him. Because he was trying to figure out a design for the cookie and putting his all into making it look awesome. He was thinking about making it into a flag and then writing a name over it at a diagonal angle. Whose name it would be remained to be seen. As that would be the last thing he thought of since taking care of the base and then the designs on top of the base was first and foremost on his mind now. tag.

XX | "Thanks!" Cirrus chimed, looking down himself at the thousands of pins that decorated his jacket. His then looked at Damien with his mouth agape in utter shock, but then quickly recomposed himself. Dragon Ball Z was a muggle thing right? So that must mean Damien was somewhere more on the Pureblooded side of upbringing, or at the very least had strict parents. "It's an anime, where this group o people, uisually surroundin goku the main character, like protects yird from like extraterrestrial threat. But like it's wayyyy cooler than hou A explainit," The boy explained as he examined a piece of popcorn, holding it up to the blazing summer sun as the Damien nibbled on his decorated cookie. The hufflepuff opened his mouth once again to talk— "QUICK, GET DOWN, GET DOWN! AAAHHH!" A voice screamed out directly behind him, terror immediately surged through the boy as he whipped around side to side in panic, pulling out his wand with horror. His fight or flight activated in a instant. "Yo, who's this guy, Panny? Are you buddy-cheating on me? Should I go cry myself to sleep later tonight?" Cirrus froze, his heart still thrumming in his ears as he let out an exhale. He turned around to look at the Gryffindor behind him, his features contorted with annoyance. "Whit the heck is wrong wi you?!" The hufflepuff said passive aggressively also cringing, as he punched the Aodhan's shoulder. Buddy-cheating? What were they a couple? Cirrus gave him a bombastic side-eye before letting out an exhale, replacing his painful annoyance once again with a friendly grin. "This is damien, he's ma potions partner," He gestured towards the boy with a head full of tousled brown hair. "an this is aodhan, he's ane o ma friends," Cirrus explained gesturing then to Gryffindor with bleached blonde hair and hazel freckles. As the Hufflepuff thought of what to say next, the presence of another joining the talent show took his attention. It was obvious the boy with long snowy hair and what looked to be Durmstrang uniform was much older, if his height was any indicator... |

Damien just sat their listening to Cirrus explain what this Dragonball Z was and as he continued to listen he got confused even more. He really did try to understand his words but it didn’t make sense to him and not due to his accent. What the heck is a anime?He thought to himself as he had never heard of anime ever so it just made him look at him kinda confuse. “Ah okay…um one more question what is a anime ?”He asked as he was highly confused but also intrigued as what it was. He suddenly looked up as he saw someone sneak up behind Cirrus and scare him, he just chuckled softly as he noticed the guy ask who he was and as he was about to introduce himself Cirrus already beat him too it. As he listened to Cirrus introduce him to the boy he looked up surprise as he recognized the boys name.Aodhan…where have I heard that name before…He thought to himself as he continued to think where he heard his name as it suddenly hit him like a train “Oh my god…your Ado!!”He said excitedly as he looked at him with a smirk as this is the first time he got to meet his quill pal. |
