Errand Glitter and be Gay Charms Ambush

Note to self: Never leave home without glitter~

STARTED PRIDE RUN HERE

Hjørdis smirked a little as she slowed down. Glancing down the corridor, she noticed there was no one around. She pushed open the door and stepped inside. From what she could recall, Vernatis had the day off - one of the few advantages of actually being head of house and working on patrolling schedules was knowing the other professors' schedules. She did not know why, of course. That was unimportant. Personal leave was personal. But she stepped inside, and closed the door behind her. The room was empty and rather plain.

The sound of the door opening behind her suddenly almost made her heart give out. Did he come back earl- No. Her silvery blue eyes fell onto the familiar face of Caradoc Browne. She smirked. There was a reason that the two of them were friends... This was probably it. Without saying a word, she turned back around and started her plan.

She took out the glitter bottles out of her bag that she had taken from the Great Hall a few moments earlier. Well minutes at this point. Snapping open the cap of the bottles, she smirked. In her right hand, she was armed with gold glitter and her left was purple. She tossed both of the bottles in opposite directions across the room, with a flick of her wrists. They instantly started to spin in the air - glitter flying out everywhere. Within moments, the room had a trail of glitter. She accio-ed the bottles back to her before repeating it until all of the glitter came out.

Gold and purple glitter everywhere. Moving towards the shelves, she propped open a few of the textbooks and sprinkled glitter inside them before closing them shut and tucking them back onto the shelf. Artemis would find glitter weeks later, if she had a choice.

His drawers had some too. There was no stopping the spread of glitter. She smirked as she looked over to Caradoc, who said something about the other man's eyes, "Yes, of course. So charming," She replied, pun fully intended.

Looking at the handiwork on the chalkboard, she smirked to herself, "I just like Artie better," Hjørdis teased, before shaking her head at him playfully and running out. Yeah, their job here was done. Plus... she had to get there before Caradoc did this time.

THREAD LEFT ---> Went to DADA Classroom

@Caradoc Browne

May knew it was a kind of Prank day, and she smiled. Putting glitter all around the castle must be fun. So she decided to do it.
Going to the Transfiguration class was her first idea, but she needed something in Charms classroom. Still with glitter in her pockets, she entered and looked at two professors, the Head of Slytherin and her own head of house. She stared at them with surprise, and smiled at the drawing of Prof. Vernatis with long hair. May couldn't help but snort and start laughing and began throwing glitter to the ceiling.

She looked at the two professors depart, laughing like two little eleven hear olds but big. Really, Hogwarts could be dangerous, but very, very fun. She picked up the book that she needed, and put it in her desk hole. Really, she began laughing historically, and, alone, but surely not for long. Maybe other students were about to come too. But right now, she was enjoying the time alone, in the classroom, and throwing glitter all around.

When she had finished up her glitter, and it was everywhere (including on herself) she went to pick up other utensils to decorate other classrooms. Really, this was the most fun day of her days at Hogwarts.

@Alina Rosier @Mars T'ien

Crystal had heard her Transfiguration Professor had decided to spread the joy of pride throughout the castle, and when she heard that some professor's clasrooms were open to being decorated she couldn't help herself. She even sent an owl to Mars to get them to join her, a partner in crime to her her out. She also sent one out to Alina, hopefully she would pop by as well. Art was something she loved, pride was something she cared about, and a small amount of mischief was always a welcome thing. Crystal didn't want to make anything super permanent though, and so she brought her own gear and supplies, things she had been saving for her own projects but decided to go ahead and use them for this. It took a bit of effort, but she carried a bag full of paint, fabric, chalk, brushes, pencils, pens, and even some stickers. Heck, she even had a can of silver spray paint on her that she bought a while back to test out the medium. The best part of it? She had every single color she might need, and others to help blend as well.
Thinks seemed decorated a little already, and it seems like glitter was on the floor. There also seemed to be a drawing of the professor on a blackboard. Crystal assumed some students had already started to do things, and decided she should get her stuff in before the others got here, get a small head start. Now it was time for a game plan, she looked around and tried to figure out what the best way to do this was. She wanted to start with the desk, maybe hang something from the front of it. Best to start with the basics, a rainbow. But she wasn't going to make it a basic rainbow flag, oh no that would be boring. She wanted this to look good. So she took a pencil, and a large piece of white fabric, and began to sketch out a series of loops, swirls, and dots on the fabric. It was a little dificult but it showed up, barely, but that was her goal. It was going to take awhile to get this done, but she was going to blend colors with acrylics and make the swirls and things filled it with rainbows. This was going to be good.

"Bren?" a voice distracted crystal from her sketches, and she looked up and waved at Alina. "Heya alina, I've gotten started already, hope you don't mind," she told Alina while gesturing to the fabric she was going to use for the professors desk."Oh my gosh, they should have glitter on the floor ALWAYS!" Crystal's fellow hufflepuff seemed to notice the glitter that was thrown on the floor by some other students, and crystal gave a small shrug. "Well considering it's on the floor now, it might stay around there for awhile," she commented, going back to her sketches. Glitter didn't like to go away, so she generally avoided using it. But it was here, so there wasn't much she could do. "I got your message. I didn't stop by the Great Hall yet because I wanted to see if you needed me to pick up anything..." Her friend trailed off, looking at all the suplies that Crystal had brought. Crystal smiled, knowing what her friend was about to say next. "...Looks like you've got it all under control, Bren," she said, yup there it was. How could crystal come here and not be prepared, though she knew that Mars was likely picking up more things at the Great Hall, but the more things the better. Alina seemed to be rather interested in the paint and fabric that crystal had brought. Crystal soon found out why. "Can I make a banner?!" Alina asked exitedly, and crystal nodded her head while pushing some of the suplies over towards Alina. "Go right ahead, I didn't bring all of this stuff just to hoard it for myself. Pick your poison and go at it," she smiled, exited to see what Alina might be able to do with what she had. Now, it was just time to wait for mars. She moved on to painting her own piece though, making neat blends between all the colors of the rainbow in her swirls.

When Mars finally toed open the door of the Charms classroom, the room was already a mess of glitter. They pouted a little; the effect of their own glitter bomb wouldn't be as grand seeing as the floor was covered with the stuff. But the pout quickly faded as they took in the handiwork of whoever had come before them. Glitter and streamers were the backdrop of two witches busily working on their own respective banners.

Mars stepped through the threshold, wand still pointed at the floating tray that precariously balanced quite the spread of dessert, fruit, and drinks. In their other hand, Mars clutched another bottle of glitter, a few banners and posters, and a couple rolls of parchment. The pin on their lapel glinted. They directed the tray over to Professor Vernatis' desk but stopped, a small snort escaping their lips.

"Bright pink, huh?"

It was certainly an interesting choice. It kind of suited the room, in a weird way. They set the tray down and then meandered over to Crystal who was bent over her own canvas, already sketching out a rainbow design. Another witch—Mars recognized her as Alina Rosier, Crystal's friend—was working on her own banner as well. They greeted them both and then scanned the room again. They mentioned to Crystal lightly, "Whoever did this was real unprofessional," they grinned at her and then to Alina, "but I think we can work with it."

They glanced back at the food they'd laid on the table. "And feel free to have some. Just leave a little for whenever Prof gets back."

They placed the rolls of parchment on the floor, stuffed the banner in their back pocket, and flipped their wand over in nimble fingers. The windows were too high to reach without a ladder-but then, Mars had never been adverse to climbing up some furniture. Shoving a desk over to the window frame with a hip, they clambered on top of it. If they stretched, their fingertips could barely hit the windowsill. Sighing, they hopped back down and grabbed a chair. This was an awful idea. Welp, anything for pride, right?

They set the chair on top of the desk and then climbed on top of that. Perfect. They pulled the banner out, trying to figure out how to attach it. A hammer and nails were their best bet, but also, giving a hammer to anyone in Hogwarts was probably a recipe for disaster. And they didn't think Professor Vernatis would really appreciate holes in his wall. Maybe tape then or...an idea went off in Mars' head. They cracked open the window just a hair, stuck the end of the string through, and then closed the frame down again. It held firm. Grinning, they mentally patted themselves on the back.

They were about to jump down when the stack rattled below them. Their heart leaped into their throat as they steadied their balance. Swearing softly, they muttered under their breath, "If I die for this, Professor Vernatis better be grateful." This time, they made their way off the stack successfully. They pushed their makeshift ladder to the window in the opposite corner, banner end clutched in their fingers. After a bit of maneuvering, they managed to snap the other string into the window frame. Once they were on solid ground again, they stepped back, admiring their handiwork. A row of rainbow triangles strung themselves across the plain wall. Wonderful.

Spinning on a heel, they surveyed the other wall. Here we go again. They managed to hang the other banner without a hitch. Wiping the slight sheen of sweat off their brow, they glanced around the room. There was plenty of glitter and streamers scattered across the desks and Alina and Crystal were still working on their murals. Hmm. Mars turned to the blackboard at the front of the room. They snorted when they saw the message written there. Professor Vernatis had long hair? That was new.

They contimplated doodling something on the board, but they also hated drawing so ultimately decided against it. They still felt like something was missing. They looked at the ceiling. Ohh.

Laughing, they turned to Alina and Crystal. "You know what we need? A disco ball," they pointed right to the crux of the ceiling, "Righttt there. Or at least something to catch the light."

Mars highly doubted Hogwarts had a stash of holographic spheres hiding somewhere. Shame, because having it would make for such a nice finisher. The memory of how the sun had cast a rainbow onto their curtains in the morning flashed through their head. They searched the room for something that could possibly do the job.

"He'd be mad if I broke a window, wouldn't he?" they mused offhandedly. The glass might work. Mars chuckled at themselves. They wouldn't actually, but it was kind of funny to think about. Suddenly, a thought struck them.

"Wait here," they called to the other two witches, and then whisked out of the room. In a flash, they were back, a couple sheets of holographic foil and some string from the Great Hall clutched in their hands. They took Crystal's scissors and cut each into long strips, poking a hole through the top, and tying a piece of string through the hole. When they were finished, it looked kind of like a bunch of holo bookmarks.

Mars slipped them all in a pocket and looked up at the ceiling. Why did the roof have to be so high? They sighed. Really should have picked up a ladder while they were in the Great Hall. Well, back to furniture-climbing.

Standing atop a desk and a chair, they stretched up on their tiptoes. Still, their fingers were about an inch from the ceiling. With an air of exhasperation, Mars jumped to the floor and ran over to the bookshelves. They pulled two books out, jumping back in surprise as a wave of glitter rained out of the pages. Wow. Very thorough.

They placed the textbooks on top of the chair. Standing on top of those, they finally reached the ceiling. A little bit of tape later and the Charms classroom had about two dozen holographic strips hanging from its ceiling. They looked like of like wind chime to Mars, but they spun and sparkled in the sunlight, bouncing rainbows around the walls of the classroom. There we go. Now the classroom looked like a proper gay unicorn. Once Crystal and Alina finished their posters, the place would basically be finished.

Sidling back up to the two witches, Mars told them, "Well, I think I'm about done here. I might just organize the fo—" as they were speaking, their eyes landed on the unopened bucket of glitter. Then, seaglass pupils moved up to Professor Vernatis' office door. Mars grinned.

"Actually... What do you say to busting into his office? I have to glitter bomb something."

Interacting with @Mars T'ien, @Alina Rosier

Crystal noticed a door opening, and glanced over her shoulder to see Mars wandering in, carrying a few of their own supplies with them. None of them would have any shortage of things now, with the amount they had they could easily do multiple rooms. She smiled and continued to finish up her little desk decoration, cleaning up some lines and putting a little bit of shading in some areas. Crystal heard them let out a snort, mentioning the bright pink color. She let out a small laugh, it was something that stood out. "Whoever did this was real unprofessional, but I think we can work with it." Mars mentioned to the two hufflepuffs. Crystal nodded "We can work with anything, after all we have the best team in the whole of Hogwarts," She smiled at the two. Mars glanced back at the treats they placed on the table, "And feel free to have some. Just leave a little for whenever Prof gets back."
She nodded "Thanks for bringing them, I'll be sure I leave a few," she thanked Mars. Honestly, she probably wouldn't eat too much, having a baker as a mother meant she was slightly picky when it came to cake and deserts. Though she might snag some of the fruit, she smiled at the thought as she finished up the last detail of her art. She smiled and took a step back to look at the result, it was pretty decent. She looked over at what the other two were doing, noticing mars balancing on a chair that was on a desk to hang up a banner. "Be careful," she told them, glancing at the chair to see if it was stable enough.
She picked up her own banner as she heard a rattle, and she quickly looked over to mars. Who seemed to be muttering something under their breath that she couldn't quite hear. Crystal let out a sigh, glad that Mars didn't hurt themselves. She walked over to the desk, bringing some tape along with her. She carefuly wrapped the rainbow covered fabric around the front of the desk, using the tape to keep it in place. It took a few tries to get it to look even, but she managed to do it. Even if she got a little frustrated. She stood back with a satisfied grin on her face, looking at her handiwork.
"You know what we need? A disco ball," she heard mars' voice sound from behind her, and turned to look at the wix. They were pointing to the ceiling, "Righttt there. Or at least something to catch the light." they suggested. Crystal thought it through "Yeah that would be pretty neat, though it might be difficult to reach it," she warned, not wanting anyone to get hurt. "He'd be mad if I broke a window, wouldn't he?" they said with a laugh. Crystal snorted "Yeah, I think breaking a window would land you in detention," she told Mars. She watched the Ravenclaw as an idea struck them, but she had no idea what that might be. "Wait here," Mars told Alina and Crystal, before rushing out of the room.
Crystal looked towards Alina with a bewildered look on her face "Do you have any idea where this is going?" she asked her friend. She didn't think that they had anything that would work for a disco ball, and on top of that how would they even get it up there? Whatever Mars was thinking of though, it seemed like they had a plan. So she waited, curious to see where this was going to go. Crystal saw as Mars came back into the classroom with arms full of holographic foil and string, very quickly getting to work. The finished product was, not what she was expecting. But maybe it wasn't actually finished. She watched as Mars began once again to climb on things to reach the ceiling. She gave a sigh, turning back to her supplies, wondering if she should go ahead and start to clean her stuff up a bit. She organized the paints she was using, and pushed others over to Alina for her to use. She heard shuffling of furniture and saw that mars had finished, leaving a chime of rainbows behind.
They walked up to crystal and Alina, seeming satisfied. "Well, I think I'm about done here. I might just organize the fo—" Mars cut themselves off, distracted by something. Crystal followed their line of sight to the professors office. Crystal smiled, she had a good idea of where this was going. "Actually... What do you say to busting into his office? I have to glitter bomb something." Mars asked, and crystal gave a thumbs up. "I say lets go for it, should be interesting. Alina, what do you think?" she turned to Alina, waiting for her to give her opinion.
