Secret Blossom Ball Event Finished

Entering the Maine Ball Area from the Changing Rooms

Open to Interactions

After leaving the changing rooms Isadora followed the beautiful pathway that lead into the main ball area. When she entered the ball area, her jaw dropped at the wondrous splendor before her. There were candles floating everywhere encased in bubbles; across the perimeter of the pitch and encased all around the hoops were plants and flowers of all species and colors. It was so beautiful to look at that Isadora almost didn't want to blink, for fear of missing a single moments worth of this enchanting scenery.

"It's like I have walked right into the land of Tir Na Nog" Isadora murmured to herself aloud, remembering the legends of the fae realm that her mother, Kail used to tell her at night. She wondered if the mythical fae realm had been the inspiration for this balls theme. She began to wander the pitch in curious exploration. She could see fellow first years having fun and talking amongst themselves. She also saw a few older years as well and smiled at everyone she locked eyes with. Her flats walked over the grass quite sturdily, it felt like she was walking on stone, which made her more confident in her movements. She looked towards the checkered dance floor and watched some students dance before continuing her wandering. She had never been to a dance before...ball? Either one, it didn't quite matter as she had never been to either. She wondered if she would bump into similar faces or maybe get the chance to get acquainted with some new ones?

For now however, the dance floor seemed to call her name. Isadora made her way back over to the checkered platform and began to sway slightly with the music, the beat of the song vibrating within her and she could not help but feel joy unlike she had ever felt before in this moment. Hogwarts was turning out to be so much better than she could have imagined!

Clothes:

May had entered the Quiddich Pitch with Blake at her side.
She noticed that, her outfit and his went very good together.
She smiled as she remembered how odd it was to meet Blake, as she was sending an owl to her mother and father. Such memories. May was very sentimental.

"I don't know how many times I have to tell you this Blake, but you look very handsome"
May said. She had, before said that to him (much more than two times, of course) and was never tired to say it him, she had her wand in her hand tho, even tho she wouldn't need it at the moment, she felt protection, when she touched it.

As they arrived at the tables, May couldn't stop marveling and showing Blake all the beautiful things that were at the ball. It was all decorated, from top to bottom, in a very beautiful way.

"Would you like some Pumkin juice Blake? Or some butterbeer? There's also some treats there. And we could also dance. Do you know how to dance?"

May knew she was asking a lot of questions, but she couldn't help it. So much things to talk about and to share. This was the moment, right?

When she went to pick up some drinks, May saw a few familiar faces along the way. There was Opeil Seliun, Willow Anderson and much more other students that she knew and had seen. She was happy that they were all enjoying together this beautiful meeting (tho secret) that was being held. She smiled as she was going to the other table. Practically in shock.

Interacting with: @Grace Mint

The young Slytherin couldn’t believe it, she was going to a ball. A 100% real ball with big, prim and proper ballgowns, and tons of food. Savannah didn’t need to hide her outfit anywhere, she hated wearing such fancy clothes, so she kept casual with a zip up plaid skirt with a brown belt, and a black short sleeved shirt, she wore a red beaded floral bracelet and white sneakers with a blue flower design. She walked to the pitch, smelling the food more and more as she got closer, when she got there, she knew she was late, groups of people were already there, Savannah searched over the pitch over and over with her eyes, but no signs of the blonde Ravenclaw she was looking for. Savannah sighed, she had to use her wits, if she was Grace, where would she be? Savannah knew the answer, she was probably reading somewhere, Grace did read a lot. Savannah walked around the pitch, and then she saw Grace, sitting there, reading a book, Savannah smiled and her eyes lit up as she ran over to the beautiful girl, she was wearing a blue-white dress with flowers, and a floral bracelet with blue flowers, her shoes were also flowers. Savannah chuckled “Wow, ye took the ‘blossom’ part of this ball really seriously”

He had heard that there would be an event to come in which would be a Blossom Ball, although he was not quite sure because he felt quite nervous about being in a large group of people in one place - which could be a bit overwhelming for the. However, curiosity could take over, so a few days before, he had contacted his grandmother to talk about a suit in which he could wear for said event, in which he had explained that he would like a soft color that would highlight his facial features and make someone look very elegant; on the day of the event, his grandmother had sent him a big package through the owls in which he wore the suit that he had ordered days before and several additions: a muggle watch, a scarlet shirt to stay warm and a pair of brown shoes that perfectly matched the suit he wore, a scarlet color with no details on the inside, he stared at infinity while thinking about it.

He sighed a little before starting to change, to put on the suit, which slowly as he changed, Ancel noticed that the suit was adjusted in the size of his body so it would be a relief because he would not know how to go to the event without the suit... When he had finished putting on the suit, he left his bedroom but not before grabbing his glasses and wand, surely because many times he felt helpless if he did not carry the wand - since it had become a habit of taking him anywhere he went. He was amazed at his new watch as it was new, a courtesy gift from his grandmother, and smiled as he mentally thanked his grandmother... He reached the lobby, which he did silently because he had been told that the ball was secret, so he had to be very careful that nobody could catch him while he had to go to the pitch where they used to play Quidditch - which it was a quiet walk to there.

Obviously, it was very easy to notice that he was very calm but his five senses were on alert since he would not like to be punished, considering that he had to be a good student. However, he was quite nervous so he decided to take a few minutes to pause for his body to relax because if he didn't, he would end up betraying himself to someone in the tranquility of the place... He sighed when he noticed that he was a little less nervous, so he continued until he reached the place where the event was, he spent a few minutes observing the other students who were at the place, Ancel could not deny that they were very well-groomed for that occasion, as well as he was with his style. He tried to adjust with the top of his suit, trying not to wrinkle because he did not want to end up spoiling his style since his grandmother had tried very hard to do it and give it to him, in which he looked proud.

Blake's Blossom Ball Attire:

Reducio

Interacting with: @May Moonstar

The massive grin on Blake's face was becoming almost painful as he basked in the compliments May was giving him and he took a moment to adjust his suit jacket. The plush velvet jacket felt solid on his shoulders and he paused to watch May marvel at the decorations.

"Ya know May, you look stunning too. Couldn't have asked fur a better companion," He sighed contently, watching her pale pink skirt swish around her ankles as she moved about. His thoughts brought him back to the Owlery that one evening when they'd met and he was pulled back to the present by May asking him about his drink preference. He blinked absent mindlessly as he took in her appearance for the hundredth time that evening. The flowers braided elegantly into the updo resting at the back of her head seemed to shimmer and twinkle in the candle light.

"Oh aye yes how about I grab the drinks an you find a spot ta sit?"He offered, glancing at the lavish drink display May had been fluttering around. The rest of the guests, now arrived, seemed to be drifting in and out of the decorated area to the quiet areas of the Quidditch Pitch. Blake spotted the shimmering material of his sister's dress lazily floating around the dance floor as he selected two decanters of butterbeer. Dancing was a bit out of his league but he was willing to try. Even coming to the Blossom Ball had been a big try on his part, with credit given to his sister and mum for orchestrating the process.

"I guess I should send an owl ta my Mum and thank her fur makin me go huh?"He laughed, sliding into a seat next to May. The flowers pinned to his suit jacket rustled slightly as he produced the drinks and set back, pleased with the view and his beverage choice.

"So about that dancing..."He trailed off with a cheeky smile.

-Mentioning: a lot of people lol -

As the first students started to arrive, Lydia couldn't help but smile brightly at them as they took in the different decorations that were all around them. She felt incredibly proud of the result they had achieved; after all, they were only first year students, but they still managed to create something pretty and complex as a Ball.

With the arrival of more students, Lydia decided to walk around the main area of the pitch, greeting as many people as possible, as she waited for her date to arrive.

"Hey!"Lydia said to her best friend @Aaron Jones as she walked up to him. "You look so handsome Aaron! I love the shirt, and the sunflower as well!" the red headed girl added, as she gave a big, bright smile to the boy. "Do you think they like how we have decorated everything?" she said in a question that was meant more for herself rather than for anyone else. Whenever she felt nervous or stressed, Lydia would always end up over-talking. She took a deep breath, trying to empty her mind of any kind of worry; she was at the ball now, it wasn't time to be stressed out, but to enjoy herself and have fun with her friends.
"I'm going to walk around, and see who's already here. Save me a dance, for later?" Lydia asked Aaron, before smiling at him and walking towards the edge of the dance floor.

As she wandered around, the Hufflepuff girl noticed a lot of familiar faces, like @Willow Anderson, @Anastasia Beckett and @Santario Martin,and waved at them, her face light up by a bright smile; she also saw several new faces. She was really happy that the even had reached so many students, it filled her heart with happiness; she also hoped that this way everyone had the chance of relaxing a little bit, even if just for one night. Lydia felt like one of those hosts that you see in tv programs, going around, greeting everyone and thanking them for coming; it felt nice, she loved meeting new people, and this was definitely a way to do so.

As she moved towards one of the food tables, Lydia noticed a girl with silver hair - she had definitely seen her around the castle a couple of times - dressed with an incredibly pretty blue and dusty pink gown that went together perfectly with her hair colour. She walked towards her, and once she was closed enough she took the chance to introduce herself.

"Who knew that Aaron's idea of bringing some Yoohoo to the ball would have been so successful," Lydia said as she gave the other girl a warm smile, "I don't particularly like it, but he loves it! I'm Lydia, thank you so much for coming tonight! I hope you're having a good time," she added warmly as she reached for a chalice of pumpkin juice. She had been really tempted by the food that was there, since she had skipped dinner to prepare the venue, but she was too afraid of getting something stuck in her teeth.

She started sipping on her drink, when she felt the two braids on the back of her head get loose, and a little bit of panic got to her. What was she supposed to do? She needed to fix them, before the flowers fell to the ground.
"I’m so sorry, I-I really need to go!” She apologised as she gently wrapped a hand around the flowers in her hair, before she rushed to the Changing Rooms.

The secret blossom fest day had finally arrived and fully in swing as Percy made his way to the location. Everyone was told to dress in the changing rooms, but the young Slytherin had other ideas. He was already dressed in his tailored black suit and jeans, and sported a special black lotus in his suit pocket. The plant was sent to him directly from his parents, who wished to give him something special for the occasion, a great addition to his already flawless costume. When the pitch drew closer he saw that the inside was lit up with various lights, as well as a silent chatter that also came from within. The blossom ball had been a staple of hogwarts through most of it's history, and possibly one of the few times it had been cancelled. Luckily, students were quick to think of a solution and make a secret one that would go against teachers orders all together.

Percy made it to the stairs and slowly made his way up the top, his eyes gazing down onto the ball once he had reached the peak. The whole thing was colourful as it should be, and there was also a few groups present. None of them peaked his interest though. He made his way down the stands and onto the actual pitch itself, which was now covered to protect anyone from getting muddy. From what he saw, not many people had arrived yet, which was a perfect opportunity to have a look around before things really got hectic. The history of balls at hogwarts wasn't bright by any means, fires and kidnappings almost overshadowed it from the past few years. Hopefully, another tragedy wouldn't happen tonight.

His attention was soon captured by a table that held food and drink, something of which he needed from walking all the way down to the qudditch field from the castle. Percy's eyes wondered across and rested on some cold water. Pouring it into a cup he turned back around and viewed the ball once more, keeping note of everyone that was attending tonight "If this doesn't turn into a disaster, i'll be bloody surprised..." muttered the boy as he took a sip of his cold drink.

Grace was deep into her book, but then she heard a familiar voice say “Wow, ye took the ‘blossom’ part of this ball really seriously”

Grace’s eyes widened, a smiled grew on her face, she looked up, and there she was, Savannah Griffis, Grace’s first ever friend at Hogwarts, Grace threw her book into her bag and got up quickly, she almost leaped on the Slytherin as she wrapped her in a hug.

“SAVANNAH!” she said loudly, she was so happy to finally see her here, Grace let go of her, noticing she wrapped her arms around her too tight and that it might be suffocating her.

The Ravenclaw took a look at Savannah’s outfit, it was a casual one with a plaid skirt, black shirt, blue sneakers with flowers, and a nice red floral beaded bracelet, either way, Grace loved it, it was adorable and chic, Grace smiled.

Grace’s eyes scanned the pitch, there was a dance floor, Grace’s face lit up even more “Annah! Wanna go dance?” she asked, smiling very brightly.

Grace picked her bag up “I’ll meet you there if you want to!” she ran quickly to the dance floor, her bag secure in her hand as she started dancing, not caring about if it was bad or not.

Once Grace finished dancing, she sat back on the ground and took a few breaths, her hair managed to stay nice and straight, which was good, Grace saw more people coming in, how many more will come?

Grace went to the food place now, avoiding any sweet things, but then she noticed Yoohoo, a drink Grace tasted only once in her life when she took a trip to America about 2 years ago, she remembered loving it, but that was her last day in America and she was so sad that she couldn’t have it again back in London.

Grace took two, one for herself and one for Savannah, she walked back to Savannah “It’s a chocolate drink from America, it’s really good” she told her with a smile

As jo noticed Isadora she gave her a friendly wave from the table, she looked a lot nicer than jo, and she was happy for it, she seemed to be enjoying herself too, and she had the amazement look as every younger student did. She stopped rubbing her hands for a moment as she put them down to admire the scenery of the ball, it was magnificent and magical, she just couldn't stop admiring it.

The pressing of the crowd seemed to have left her body for a while, her hair kept getting in her eyes, and she kept moving it out of her face, it annoyed her very much but the admiration for the looks of the ball never left her. She noticed some people were pacing around while others talking. Obliviously Jo didn't realize her face was red from the cold, she was never used to being outside so this was normal to her, but to others, it may not have been.

She looked at the sky, the stars were already shining brightly over the quidditch pitch, and the sky seemed to be friendly and welcoming, she never wanted to look into the sky more than now, and it was odd about the allure of it to her, she soon looked back into the crowd to look for others she might know. She sighed as she go up and headed back for the stairs.
