TABLE 8 | Sweethearts Tea Party
14th of February, 2022
‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿
Valentine's Day had finally arrived, a holiday that celebrated both the longing the heartfelt for that special someone and the sweet offerings that accompanied the bittersweet experience that was romantic love. Though in recent years, the holiday had expanded its demographic and was now more inclusive of all different types of love. It was a wonderful excuse to remind those you love, no matter what kind of love that may be, just how important they are. It was also a great excuse to eat sweets and enjoy oneself, which was what three of Hogwart’s professors had in mind when they had hosted a Valentine’s tea party, and what better room to host it in than the arguably most romantic room in the castle?
Hogwart’s ballroom had always been grand, with its beautiful arched ceilings that were the home to several intricately designed chandeliers that dangled a family of beautiful crystals that almost seemed gilded in the way they reflected amber hues across the room. The professors had decorated the ornate carved stone walls and floors with an array of red, pink, and white roses. The theme carried throughout the ballroom, as an endless flow of flower petals seemed to dance and twirl through the air, only to land on the stone tiled floor and vanish.
Along the walls of the ballroom, dozens of white-clothed round tables had been set up for the students. The center of the table served as a home to a large of roses, varying in hues of red, and a pastry stand that held the sweets the students hard put their heart and souls into creating. Each table held between four to six place settings, complete with the occupants’ names. If the student had received any letters from their admirers, they would be piled next to the floral pattern plates.
The morning before the Tea Party, each student had received a letter requesting their presence. The letters were quite generic so aside from the student's name and table number, they each said the same thing:
Dear [Student's Name],
Your presence is requested at this year's Valentine’s Tea Party. We will be serving a wide array of sweets that have been especially hand-crafted by a special someone, either romantic or platonic. The tea party will take place on February the 14th, at 18:00. The evening is certain to be full of fun and laughter.
A seat for you at TABLE EIGHT has been reserved. We hope to see you there.
‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿
| Table Eight was set with five place cards and settings. It was a slightly smaller table, bringing everyone closer. Each place setting was beautifully laid out with far too much cutlery and excessive decor, including doilies to go under their glass of water. Multiple sets of spoons at each place, for instance, as though it was a full course meal. There was a place card by each seat in elegant cursive handwriting that read the student's full name. The five would hopefully spend their evening caught up in pleasant conversation. When the students arrived and found their place cards, they would notice a surprise or perhaps two waiting for them. | ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ |
@David Howard - the loyal, hardworking and helpful badger with great shoulder-length black hair that looks so smooth. Let's be honest, you want to touch it to see if it's as smooth as it looks (spoiler alert: it probably is with how he takes care of his hair!).
@Simon Corbin - the Gryffindor who never gives up. Bold and fearless, he aims to make his house proud. Not to be confused with another Simon (Kincaid of Hufflepuff) but they seem to hang out within similar circles...
@Clair Fernandez - the broom racer with an adorable bunny who seems to be gathering the attention of multiple boys. Does she have a thing for Simons or do they have a thing for her? Who knows but there appears to be a type!
@Selena Arden - the Ravenclaw who is willing to be blunt or considered insensitive rather than lie. She is honest through and through, even if it comes at a price. You need someone honest in your life and Selena has you covered on that front.
@Lin Evanvleck - the girl with super funky hair. She's a skilled broom racer but she's not a typical jock. She's got brains too. And perhaps her eleventh cat. Or at least a cat called Eleven. Or maybe both!
DAVIDReducioNext to his placecard, the Hufflepuff would see a large bag of chocolate barks with a letter attached that was address to him. It appeared to be anonymous but whoever it was from might have wanted something more than friendship...
Dear David,
We are not very close yet, but I hope we will get along well. Hope you like the chocolate barks!
Forever your friend xI'm too afraid to ask you but... I'm on this table. If you like me, tell me.
SIMONReducioAs he sat down, Simon would instantly notice two things at his place. The first were Vanilla cupcakes with 'S', 'I', 'M', 'O' and a 'N' written out on them. He probably would be able to figure out what it spelt and who it was for. There was a small note with it, it was short and sweet but read 'From Clair'. Ooooh, it seemed like the girl he sent something to was thinking of him! Maybe there was something there?
The second letter, however, was from someone else. Someone unexpected, perhaps.From ClairHey Simon,
We've only had one conversation previously and that was all it took for me to start liking you. As friends since I'm straight, and planning to be so for the rest of my life. When we first met, I liked how talkative you were, just as I was, and it was really nice how you let me finish reading the chapter in my book which was very interesting by the way, but I'm pretty sure you knew that without me having to tell you. And I should also mention that the song you were playing sounded great, and I hope to hear more soon if we meet again. And here's a cupcake I partially made for you since I don't have anyone else to make one for. And I'm saying partially because I wasn't the one who baked it, it was just one of the things to do in the great hall yesterday. And also, happy late birthday, I hope you noticed me yesterday at your birthday party, but I have no way of knowing since I'm writing this before the time the party takes place.
Have a good day,
-Dave
SELENAReducioSelena would find a rather odd letter on her seat. It appeared to be from someone called 'Dave' - could that be the David on her table? What was more unusual about it was that his name was at the top and hers seemed to be at the bottom. Wait - did she write this or receive this? What was going on here? And more importantly, who was this guy she was talking to in her dorm?!
From Dave -
Remember me? I'm that one guy you talk to in the dormitory almost every day. Now first things first, stop talking so damn loud, we don't wanna wake anyone up. And second things second, I was just joking, you're actually pretty quiet, but not so quiet I can't hear you. Also, I'm pretty sure you mentioned in one of our conversations your favorite cupcake so I tried my best to make you one. And before I forget, Happy Valentine's Day!
- That one guy
- Selena
LIN:Reducio
Lin received two cupcakes. An vanilla flavoured one with buttercream that spiralled over the cupcake. It was made with fresh raspberries to look like a heart. It even had an 'L' on top of the raspberry heart with some frosting.
The second cupcake did not have a long letter attached to it. But it looked beautiful. Beautifully decorated and probably really tasty, it seemed to only have one thing with it. A note saying who it was from and that was it.A cupcake for you! I consider you my best friend! Like my own sibling, except you're not annoying. I hope that we stay friends for the rest of our days!
-Juni Kelly
From Simon Kincaid
CLAIR:ReducioClair had a type it seemed when it came to boys. She appeared to like Simons it would seem - or perhaps they seemed to like her! At this point, who could really tell? Not the professors. She received some cupcakes but as she opened them, she would find a note saying who they were from. It was definitely Corbin. Not Kincaid.

RULES AND NOTES: ♡1. This is an official event, but threads will not be moderated unless necessary. Meaning that if students start to cast spells or physically attack someone, one of the professors participating will step in. If this is the case, the thread will be moderated as needed.
2. There will be additional surprises. Every few weeks a moderator will post in your thread to describe said 'surprise'. Surprises for each table may vary.
3. The site rules still apply. We understand things can get a little hectic, but please try to keep the site's rules and rating in mind. It is also important to keep in mind that there is a full of professors at the event, so be mindful of IC rules.
4. The letters have been mixed up. As stated in the original sign-up form for this event, the letters that have been sent have been mixed up due to a mishap. There were also letters that the professors had to rewrite. A few can even be from faceless NPCs even. We are not trying to godmod players, the main point is to stir up some drama.
MOD NOTE: This is a reminder to please not meta-game. There is some information your character would have no way of knowing. It is fine to say your character knows X didn't write this letter to Y because your character has received a note/owl from them before and recognizes their handwriting, but your student has no way of knowing how exactly the letters were mixed up or who is to blame. They also would not know what is written in a letter without opening it. This is considered meta-gaming and we ask that you do not do this as it ruins the fun for others involved.
WHAT IS META-GAMING?
This is a term we use when writers use their real-life knowledge of a subject/situation and somehow allow their character to know without their character properly gaining the information. For example, you may know that a character is a werewolf because you read their biography/ency and somehow, despite never meeting said character, your character knows they are a werewolf.
Please note that this is just a general statement and we are not pointing fingers at any one individual.

Simon entered the ballroom, which was decorated like someone had barfed red, pink, white, and a whole lot of love all over the place. So, to continue being festive, Simon had worn a red tuxedo, which was three sizes too big and he constantly had to pull up the sleeves, but whatever. That did not matter- what did matter was the people appeciating his treats. WHICH THEY BETTER.
Simon sat down and made himself comfortable at Table Eight, which was where he was assigned. Simon hoped that he would be sat at Table Nine Not because he's superstitious or anything-nope. He just really, REALLY likes that number. but eight was close enough.
Simon read the names written on the cards as he went to his seat. Clair, Selena, Lin, David, and his own name.
Wait. Simon reread the note- and there it was- he wasn't imagining it. David 'I Spread Diseases' Howard. That was just terrific. And he had to sit right next to him?! No! Simon would surely contract 8 different types of cancers. He wasn't here to DIE. He discreetly switched the name tags and gifts and sat down in his new, non-lethal spot between Clair and that Selena girl or whatever.
Simon then opened his first gift- a box, actually. It was cupcakes, which were arranged in his name! How sweet. Simon read the note attached to it, which made him smile.
'From Clair'. What a sweetheart. Simon couldn't help but feel appreciated, and he took a bite of the delicious cupcake- but the next note he received made him spit everywhere.
'Hey Simon,
We've only had one conversation previously and that was all it took for me to start liking you...'
Obviously, this should be true. Nothing about Simon was unlikable. But the rest didn't make that much sense as the first lines.
'...As friends since I'm straight, and planning to be so for the rest of my life.' Simon laughed a bit at that. This person was funny. 'When we first met, I liked how talkative you were, just as I was, and it was really nice how you let me finish reading the chapter in my book which was very interesting by the way, but I'm pretty sure you knew that without me having to tell you.'
Now THIS was the part that Simon was stuck on. Since when did he read with someone? Maybe at the Study Party he and some other friends had, but this person didn't talk like any of his friends. He read on-
'And I should also mention that the song you were playing sounded great, and I hope to hear more soon if we meet again.'
Was this Lizzy? I mean, Simon played for their band and also studied with her, but Lizzy was better at grammar than this person. No offense, but it was super hard to keep up due to the lack of paragraph breaks. He wondered if this person took English or if they were in a hurry or what.
'And here's a cupcake I partially made for you since I don't have anyone else to make one for. And I'm saying partially because I wasn't the one who baked it, it was just one of the things to do in the great hall yesterday. And also, happy late birthday, I hope you noticed me yesterday at your birthday party, but I have no way of knowing since I'm writing this before the time the party takes place.'
Now this made no sense. This person was a. a loser, and b. braindead. Simon's birthday had already passed. Did the person who had written this miss his bday??? Heck?
Then he read the rest of the letter.
'Have a good day, Dave.'
Simon spit the cupcake he had been eating all over the fancy cutlery. This had to be some kind of joke! Why would he send him a cupcake and make up this odd scenario!?!? What was the point? Seething, Simon picked up the cupcake Dave made and squished it in his palm before wiping it on the fancy napkins. Take that, Dave.
ACTION-Squishing poor David's cupcake and eating Clair's.

TABLE 8 | Sweethearts Tea Party
Clair was so excited for Valentines day, a side from being her best friend's birthday, it was the day for lovers to show their love, and even if she did not tell anyone, she liked the idea of love, and the loyalty to it.open to interactions
Today she was wearing the nicest Dress she could find, it was calm, yet fancy, it was perfect for the tea party.
When Clair entered the ballroom she smiled, yes, this was a great spot, perfect for a romantic time.
She quickly found table Eight and found her name, she was seated next to Simon Corbin, sitting down she nodded to him, "Hello Master1 Corbin, how are you today?"
She looked at the box near her seat, "Oh how sweet, someone thought of me!" She said, looking at the box, the cupcakes were very pretty, she looked at the note, Oh! Corbin sent them to me! she thought, maybe she should have sent him some, but he had a box already, so someone had thought of him, right?
"Who gave you those?" She asked politely, pointing at the box, "It was very nice of them to think of you, Everyone needs someone to think of them once and a while, thank you for Cupcakes Corbin, they are very nice!"
Little did the Ravenclaw girl know, that the cupcakes that Simon had, were the cupcakes she had made for Simon KINCAID.

TABLE 8 | Sweethearts Tea Party
Dave - #fff79e
special and what made it even better was the tea party that would be hosted at the end of today but I had only found that out a few weeks ago. I dressed up, and went to the ballroom in which there were an array of tables with place cards on them so I went over to table number eight, the one I was invited to and took a seat across by two girls, right by my place card next to which I noticed a bag of chocolate bark with a letter that said:
‘Dear David,
We are not very close yet, but I hope we will get along well. Hope you like the chocolate barks!
Forever your friend x’
‘There was also a note attached to the letter saying ‘I’m too afraid to ask you but... I’ m on this table. If you like me, tell me.’ Well whoever they were weren’t going to have their feelings reciprocated since I was just eleven and I wasn’t yet interested in looking for a girlfriend, but I also wondered how the person knew we were sitting at the same table since it’s not like a seating chart was handed out to us. I also noticed that I hadn’t received my letter from myself, nor my cupcake from myself so the house elves probably noticed, but now that I had finished reading my letter so I looked up at the girls that I had noticed earlier, sitting in a seat with a place card for Simon, a female Simon if that was her name and the other girl's place card said Clair and I had recognized her from Simon's birthday party that happened yesterday so I greeted so I greeted her by saying “Hey Clair, that was a nice party you organized yesterday and I very much enjoyed it," I then turned to the girl who I just then realized was Simon Corbin according to his or her place card, and said "Wow Simon, you've changed so much since the last time I saw you which was at that snowball fight I believe. It's good to see you again, but I don't know if that is the same for you.”
Reducio
The reason Dave assumes Simon is someone else is because it's been a long time since he's seen him and he's drastically changed since the snowball fight, assuming he currently looks like the person on Simon's profile picture.

TABLE 8 | Sweethearts Tea Party
It's going to be very funny. That's what I tell myself as I put on my red dress, with lots of ruffles. I chose this dress on purpose to make fun of Valentine's Day. I'm sorry, but February 14th is my birthday. Not the kissing day. Then I try a few steps in my huge (red) heels. It's OK, I can hold it.
After applying a fizzy pink eye shadow, I head out of the common room to the ballroom. Sophie doesn't come with me because she had the wonderful idea of getting sick for our 12th anniversary.
I walk into the ballroom and laugh. Sure, it's beautiful but it's too kitschy for me. My invitation, I look for table eight and hope Juni is there. I finally find table eight and I only know one person sitting at that table: Clair.
— Hey! How are you guys? I'm Lin for the ones who don't know.
As I sit in my seat, I realise that I was the only one to receive cupcakes from two different people. Juni and... Simon Kincaid. Simon Kincaid, I don't really know him, he's just a Hufflepuff Broom Racer. I guess that's a mistake.
If I remember correctly, Simon is a friend of Clair. Maybe they got confused. Although that would be weird. Lin Evanvleck and Clair Fernandez don't look alike. The only resemblance there could be is the long last name.
— Hum, Clair... You are friend with Simon Kincaid, right? I think that this cupcake is for you.

TABLE 8 | Sweethearts Tea Party
"Hey Lin, How are you?" She greeted, "hello David, Nice to see you after the party yesterday!"
After greeting the two others she sat for a moment, this moment felt weird, sitting at a table with a few people she knew some better then others, but at least she had met them all on good terms, so at least at her end she did not have any grudges against these people sitting at the same table as her, "Um, anyone else feel like this table is smaller then the rest?" She asked looking at the other tables, And then Lin spoke, and what she said was a surprise to Clair, "Yeah, I know him, pretty well, But why would he send me a cupcake? And it is at your seat, so... Maybe he fancies you?" She half teased, she was pretty sure that the cupcakes would be for Haley or Angelfyre if Simon had made any, "Is there a note? Like any hints to who they are for?" She already had some cupcakes from Corbin, so, Lin could just keep hers, but if these were for AF or Haley, then maybe they should find out, it would cause some drama should AF get cupcakes from Simon and Haley not!
Then again, what did Clair know?

When Clair asked where his cupcakes had come from, Simon furrowed his brows in confusion. "These are from you, see?" Simon showed her the card that read 'From Clair'. "Thanks for the cupcakes, by the way. I can tell you put effort into them."
The next person who entered was David Howard, who didn't seem fazed by Simon sitting across from him. Simon shot him a death glare as he sat down, but he didn't return it. Instead, he greeted him kindly, which made Simon even more angry. Why was be being so nice?! WHY?!?!?!
"Yeah, good to see you too, David," Simon said with ice in his voice. "I have a question- why did you send me a letter, Howard? I didn't know you were so desperate to- wait..."
Simon peered over at David's bark. "Huh. I've seen that bark before. Who gave it to you?" Simon racked his brain, trying to remember where he saw that familiar bark from.
Simon smiled. "Kincaid is the king of tricking girls into liking him, so maybe it was from him. Who knows?" Simon took another bite of his cupcake. "No hate to him, he's so nice. But girls fall for him like my great-grandma fell down the stairs."
Simon nodded at Clair's question. "It is. Maybe we did something wrong and this is the bad kids' section. I didn't do anything wrong so whoever did, 'fess up." His eyes lingered on David. He wasn't going to outright say it, but he felt like that bark David had was not his. And what was with the odd burn marks? And why did Clair forget that she sent him cupcakes? Something odd was happening here.
ACTION- Being an ass to David, chatting with Clair and Lin. EDIT- Edited due to plot holes.

Moments later, another girl came to our table and sat down in the seat to my left before saying “Hey! How are you guys? I’m Lin for the ones who don’t know.” to which Clair replied by greeting both Lin and me with the words “Hey Lin, How are you? Hello David, nice to see you after the party yesterday!” to which I replied “And it’s nice to see you too.” I then turned to Lin and said “Well it did say your name on your place card but it was nice of you to introduce yourself anyways.” It was then that asked me “I have a question, why did you send me a letter Howard? I didn’t know you were so desperate to- wait, huh. I’ve seen that bark before, who gave it to you?” So I answered him by saying “Well as for who sent me the bark, you tell me.” before handing him the anonymous letter I had found by my place card and continued by saying “And I'd like to point out that I only sent letters to Simon Kincaid and to myself under the name of ‘that one guy’, so I've no idea what you're talking about and apparently the house elves noticed that I sent a letter to myself which is probably why I never received it, along with my cupcake.”
Just then, Lin said “Hum, Clair... You are friend with Simon Kincaid, right? I think that this cupcake is for you.” to which Clair replied to that with: “Yeah, I know him pretty well, but why would he send me a cupcake? And it is at your seat, so... maybe he fancies you?” to which Simon said “Kincaid is the king of tricking girls into liking him, so maybe it was from him. Who knows? No hate to him, he’s so nice. But girls fall for him like my great-grandma fell down the stairs.” He then followed up by answering Clair’s earlier question about whether or not we feel like our table is a bit smaller then the rest by saying “It is. Maybe we did something wrong and this is the bad kids’ section. I didn’t do anything wrong so whoever did, ‘fess up.”. I looked around and noticed some more tables with only five seats so I said “Well, some are a bit bigger then others, and some are a bit smaller, ours just so happens to be one of the smaller ones so we didn’t do anything wrong.” Something was definitely off about the tea party, one of them being that there was no tea at our tables, but perhaps we were supposed to get it later, but it was also because a few of us were receiving stuff meant for other people.

Simon sighed loudly and rolled her eyes but did not say anything about it. Instead they told him, "I didn't send YOU the fucking bark." Then he skimmed the paper to see what it was about. And, lo and behold, it was.. a love note? In messy handwriting?
The bark.. the note...
Fuck! No no no. Was that SIMON'S BARK? The one that was meant for Vicky?? He snatched the bark violently from Dave. "Let me see that." he snapped before inspecting it carefully and staring at him. "This... is mine!" Than he realized what that sounded like- like he'd sent the note to him. Ew, ew, ew! "I mean- did not- that's not- didn't write-" Simon sputtered, face red, looking more and more sus by the second. Oh my. He slammed his head down on the table and groaned. "Can this day get any worse? Here Dave, have your cupcake back. Tell Kincaid to enjoy." he spat, chucking the smooshed cupcake at Dave, aiming for his stupid face.
ACTION-Throwing a cupcake at Dave (well, a napkin with the smooshed remains)

TABLE 8 | Sweethearts Tea Party
Selena walked into the ballroom a bit later than the invitation had said. She had been surprised when she had first received the invite to the tea party, but figured that it had to be some sort of school-wide event. Deciding she would go, Selena had changed into a casual dress beforehand, but then had some second thoughts on going. She knew very few people at the school and didn't want to be a misfit the entire time. The person sitting on one edge of the table while everyone else talked with their friends. In the end, she decided to go. It would be a good opportunity to get to know some more people. Coming into the ballroom a bit out of breath from rushing down, she quickly found her assigned table.

Code: Lucia Fox (Edited by myself).
Sitting in her place between Simon and Lin, as the name cards read, she offered everyone around the table a friendly, yet apologetic smile. "Apologies on being late. I wasn't sure whether I was coming or not until a few minutes ago," she said. "I'm Selena if you didn't know."
Noticing the letter at her place, Selena picked it up and unfolded it carefully. She read through it, her brow furrowing as she read. It said from Dave at the top, but then from that one guy, and Selena at the bottom. She didn't write any letters, so she couldn't have written this, but that's certainly how it looked. Perhaps the David at her table had written it, but that wouldn't make much sense seeing as how they couldn't talk in the dorms because they weren't in the same house. Further to that matter, they had never even spoken a word.
Selena looked across the table at David and decided with finality to ask him straight out if he had written the note. Perhaps, with the burn marks on the letter, something had happened and they had gotten mixed up. "Erm, David? Did you happen to write this note?" She'd get to the bottom of this soon enough.
