Beaufort Family’s New Year Celebration
It was Cynthia’s very first party… SHE was the hostess. Not her mother, but she herself. She was nervous, yet excited. Oh dear… she was going to a lot of parties — Swann’s family party, this one and the Virtanen Yule Ball. If she hadn’t had a timing problem, she would probably be going to the Dupont’s family party as well. Well. Now it was her try.
Apparently, her cousins, Daphne and Cyrus Sapphirus were coming too. She didn’t know them well. She knew that her father had an older brother, Graham, something like that… maybe that was wrong. Anyways she didn’t care. Daphne would stay until Hogwarts re-opens. Hmph. Fine, of course, she wouldn’t mind sharing a house with Daphne and Cyrus… but, she certainly would mind sharing a house with Sophia Ellis. Not exactly sharing a house — thank goodness — they were staying at the Jasmine Hotel. But still!
She still remembered clearly the day her mother told her Sophia was coming. ‘ But… she said she hates me!’ ‘Don’t worry, dear, we’ll work it out, I promise. We’ll talk to Rose about it, non?’ Her mother tried her best to chide her. Well, it wasn’t working. ‘But- but- she hates me! She said that! She said she didn’t want to be my friend anymore.’ ‘Well I’m still friends with her mother. You can’t change that.’ ‘Fine, but don’t expect us to get along!’ Cynthia said. And just like that, she stomped back into her room.
Well that was a bad memory. Anyways, she looked at the guest list once more. Pandora Smith — good good her friend, staying at a guest room. Oliver Brown, bring Olivia, too. She cracked a smile, for she was absolutely certain that the house elves could bake a real ‘Olive Brownie’ for Oliver. Well that was certainly funny. Damion White — lovely, one of her best friends. Aurora Griffith and her family — she didn’t know them, but they must be somewhat important. The Everridge family! Ah, she had heard about them. And Isadora herself… she seemed familiar… where had they met at Hogwarts? Rita Su and her friend, Jasmine Hotel — good good. And finally, Bailey Glade and Kim Sato! Oh she knew Bailey and Kim and they were a good pair! They will definitely dance together tonight! Well that leaves the question - who will she be dancing with? It doesn’t have to be romantic…
Well now, Cynthia must get dressed. She had lingered at the Gown of Seasons last time she went to Galdrags Wizardwear. Now, since she was in her own house, she had no problem with wearing it. Wherever she walked, snowflakes appeared in her wake. So lovely… She let her hair down this time, but slipped on a princess tiara. Her hair grew longer, longer and longer. Until it reached her waist. She stepped into a pair of stockings, for the gown was not the longest, and surely it might get cold. Finally, she slipped into a pair of classic glass slippers, the kind that Cinderella from the fearie tales used to wear.
Now, makeup time. She used foundation, even though she didn’t need it, but she wanted everything about her to be white, white and white. She applied glitter — white and silver ones — onto her face and used glitter eyeshadow. When all was done, she applied a slightly lighter tone of lipstick. She smiled at the Cynthia in the mirror. She was all ready to go.
She stepped out into the brisk winter air, managing to slip on a white cloak for warmth. She studied her home — the Beaufort Manor. It was three stories high, if you need not count the attic and the basement, which held the kitchen, the laundry and the cellar. It was majestic and gleaming white. She spotted her window and the third floor. All of the lights were on and when you looked closely, you could see the house elves busy preparing. On the third floor, there were her room, the guest rooms — five in all, two with double beds, three with only one, her old nursery and her personal study — that was about it, the third floor was not very large. Each guest room had a bathroom too. The second floor held her parent’s rooms, a larger study, a large library and a museum of sorts. There was also her father’s study, which was forbidden and a conference room, which was not forbidden but Cynthia needed permission to access. The personal dining room was also on this floor. On the first floor, there was the living room, the drawing room, the grand dining room, the ballroom and in the back was their very own swimming pool. There was also a recreation room next to that. Finally of course, there was the performance space.
Well, the house seemed very large when she put it like this. Well, she supposed it was. She stepped inside and called for the butler. He would be announcing the arriving guests.
OOC: Feel free to godmod the butler! For those who did not see Daphne on the guest list, a long time ago we agreed to be cousins. She misunderstood and owled me instead of posting on the sign up thread, so she can still join. We will establish a posting order as we go, but please let her post after me. I see some people who just joined HIO, so if you have any questions feel free to owl me. If you are wondering about what my dress looks like, it is all described in the roleplay, so please read it — a bit long, sorry! Anyways, IC, guests come directly to my house, without going to the hotel first. Also, Sophia is an NPC.
Edit: due to some reasons on her side, Daphne’s posting order has been moved back.
Edit no 2: If there are too many people for a posting order to be reasonable, I can change it.

Oliver was in his room, lying down on his bed. He ought to get ready since he had been invited by a close friend, Cynthia, to a new years party. He was going to bring his sister with him. She had been very very eager for this. He hadn’t gone to many birthday party’s before, but this was, probably the biggest since he would stay over night. He got up and went through his closet, the invitation sent had stated that it was all formal white clothing only. He had only a few formal clothes so he picked out his one formal pair of shirt, jacket, tie and pants. He also picked out his white shoes, he had only used them a few times on formal occasions. After changing, he walked towards his bedside table, opened the drawer and pulled out a blue ring. His favorite color.
Then, after checking the time, he left his room and called out to his sister. “Olivia are you ready yet? We have to go!” he shouted down the hall. “Not yet!!” Oliver heard from his sisters room down the hall. Olivia, had only picked out the clothes she was going to wear. She still had to do her hair. “Give me a second! I need to fix my hair!!” She shouted. She was wearing a white dress and white rubber shoes that were newly cleaned. She rushed to curl her hair. Once finished, she had put on makeup and grabbed her purse and necklace on the way out of her room. “Im Done!” She shouted. Oliver was standing at the bottom of the stairs when he heard this. “Alright! Lets go!” He said as she hurriedly went down the stairs.
He opened the front door and stepped out into the cold air. He gave his sister his jacket since it was cold out. It was a bit crowded in London, he went on the underground train with his sister, he was confident since had gone so many times with his father and he was sure he wasn’t going to get lost. After about a few hours, he had reached the location on the invitation. Wow, he didn’t realize how rich Cynthia was, her house seemed to be 4 or 5 times larger than his. He walked with Olivia, she had returned his jacket already, but he could see the lights on from inside. Smiling, he knocked on the large front doors.Oliver Speaking : #15a2ed Olivia Speaking=#809bb0Mentions : @Pandora Smith | @Damion White | @Aurora Griffith | @Isadora Everridge | @Rita Su | @Asuka Bakuchiku | @Kim Sato | @Bailey Glade | @Daphne Sapphirus

Pandora took one last look at herself in the mirror. The dress was not quite her style. But she wore a long, flowing snow-white dress that her mother had given her, and she had white pearls in her light hair. White gloves on their hands. Earrings given by her mother. She felt very cramped. This is how witches dress, she thought.
She went downstairs when his mother called him.
"You're so beautiful, honey. First noble witch of the Smith family. Are you ready?"
Pandora nodded yes. She suddenly felt nauseous when her mother stretched out her arm, and after a little gagging they were at the door of a magnificent house. She didn't understand how.
Her mother knocked on the door of the house. Pandora's stomach started to get cramps with her stealing. 'Okay, imagine going to the prom in a fantasy universe,' said her inner voice. This made him feel a little better. But she would dance alone at the party.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the door open. Cynthia had opened the door.
"Hi Cynthia"
Her mother took one last look at her daughter.
"See you sweetie. Don't stay up late at night. And don't get carried away. God you've grown so fast."
She took one last look at her mother before entering the house. Yeah she ready.

Beaufort Family’s New Year Celebration
"Mum and dad, I have been behaving well and helping out in the family a lot during my stay, so could I go to a new year party with my friends? I will stay safe and behave well, so you don`t need to worry about me."
"Well, mum and I really want you to stay at home during the new year, but I can see you are behaving well and helping out in the family during this particular holiday, so I think we should let you be a little more independent. So, after discussing with your mum, we decided to let you go to that party. You can pick up your things now and stay safe! And you mentioned that this new year party takes place in Oxford? I will drive you there!"
After the aforementioned discussion between Rita and her father, she was finally allowed to participate in the New Year Party organized by this girl Cynthia Beaufort she was actually unfamiliar with. Luckily, she knew all of the students who were participating in this party, and there was nine of them. She would stay in the hotel room with her friend Asuka, along with the eight other attendants she knew, it was unlikely that she would feel lonely.
So, after she got down from his father`s car after a few hours of driving, she went straight to Cynthia`s house to attend the new year party. When she knocked on the door and arrived at the room, she found out her two friends, Oli and Pandora, were already there, along with this other girl with medium-length dark brown hair, who Rita supposed was the host of the party, Cynthia.
"Hi, Oli and Pandora! And I suppose you are Cynthia? My name is Rita, pleased to see you!" Rita walked closer to the three already in the room and started chatting to them, "How are you three today?And I suppose we are all here for Cynthia`s New Year Party, right?"

How have you been? I reckon we are the first people! This is my sister, Olivia! Anyways, I will see you in a while. I need to say hi to Thia!” He said as he turned to his sister.
“C’mon, I need to introduce you to Cynthia, the host of the party.” He said. He took her arm and led her to Cynthia. “Hi Thia! This is my sister, Olivia!” He introduced to her. “Hi-“ Olivia said, a bit shy. She seemed to be turning a bit red. “She hasn’t really met anyone else from Hogwarts hehe!” He told Thea. Then, he heard the door open once more.
In came Rita! The only ( other person aside from his family ) who knew about him being a metamorphagus. “Do you have to introduce me to all of your friends?” Olivia asked Oliver. “You wanted me to remember?” He told her. “Oh right-“ she responded. Olivia did not really do much socializing. She followed Oliver to his other friend. “Hi~” she said once again when Oliver introduced her to his friend, Rita was her name. “Your name is nice” she said, smiling. She was still a bit nervous. She had never been to an overnight party. She fiddled with her necklace, wondering if she could make it through the night. “Everything is going well! How about you? How's everything been going? Good I hope? And yeah we are here for the party!” Oliver asked Rita.

Dora's Dress:
Date: December 31st, 2022
Interacting with @Rita SuDora feels sick. It's been a few days since she angered her grandmother, and in that time her elder has spoken nary a word to her. She hasn't dared tried to speak to her first, so it's been a fraught silence between them. Then, this morning, without warning, her grandmother came to her room and laid a dress on Dora's bed. "You are wearing this tonight."
It doesn't matter that on Isadora it looks like a bedsheet or curtain wrapped around her body. If Dora has to wear this to make up with her grandmother, then she must. There's no debate or choice. So, Dora dons the dress and goes along on the tense carriage ride to Oxford. All the while, Bradley is snickering at her and giving her backhanded compliments. "Don't you look just like grandmother?" Dora's sure her face is a blotchy red by the time they arrive.
"I'll take the carriage and check us in at the hotel." Uncle Harris says as he drops the three of them off, promising to make his way over soon after. Dora keeps her head down as she follows her grandmother and cousin into the towering manor. A butler waits inside and asks for their names.
"Everridge." Grandmother replies, barely pausing as she walks past him. Dora and her cousin follow, and a moment after, she hears the butler announce in a projected voice. "The Everridge Family!"
Dora winces at the loud introduction, and brings her eyes off the ground for the first time. As she looks past her grandmother at the other attendees, her eyes widen at a familiar face she hadn't expected.
"Rita?"

@Oliver BrownPandora was delighted to hear Oliver talking to her. in a cheerful voice:
"Hi Oliver, you look so handsome. I'm having a good day. I'm glad by the way Olivia."
When they left, Pandora realized that she wanted to tour the house. She left the room. The house had to admit it was pretty big.
Knowing that it would get lost easily, she took a rope from her bag. She would tie the strings to the doorknobs she entered.
She grabbed the hem of her skirts and started walking around. The area was beautifully decorated. When he opened the first door, he saw that there were musical instruments inside. This place was enough to enchant him.
Realizing that she had been here for quite some time, she left the room and went back to the room she was in before. Meanwhile, she saw Rita coming. It was beautiful. She smiled when she heard you speak.
"Hi Rita. Wow, you're so beautiful. I'm having a good day. But with this outfit, I'm like the Snow Queen By the way, Cynthia, can I play the piano later?"
Yes, she talked too much. And she had wondered. And she wanted to play music.

Cynthia clapped her hands as the guests entered. 'Hello my friends!' Cynthia gave each of them a quick nod and smiled politely and Romana Everridge, the only adult in this room. 'Mrs. Everridge, you look lovely. My father is coming soon, he would like to get acquainted with you.
Suddenly Father stepped out, apparently having finished her discussion with Miriam. 'Ah, Mrs. Everridge. Please, come with me to the tearoom, its on the second floor.' Cynthia continued talking after her father finished. 'Firstly, Rita, yes, I am Cynthia herself. Fancy seeing you here. And hello, Isadora, I believe we have briefly acquainted, no? I remember you from the Yule Ball, as well. Now, Olivia, you are a pretty child. Don't blush, you already applied too much. Welcome to my house, I guess! I'm good friends with your brother here. I would have thought you two are twins... are you?' Finally Cynthia turned her eyes towards Pandora. 'Ah, Pandora, my old and wonderful friend, how have you been?'
Suddenly Cynthia realised what Pandora was doing. 'Hey, Dora, please don't do that. The house elves would not be happy if they had to remove your rope all day. No Dora, that's the performance room, we'll see a play and some orchestra there tomorrow, but not today. But yes, you can play the piano tonight or the following morning. We'd love to hear a tune. Maybe when we're dancing, you can play?'
Suddenly, the door swung open. The figure who entered was so familiar that the butler did not bother to announce her, but he rather commented that the person in question had grown. Sophie's lip curled up. 'And you have grown, too, my Cynthia. My mother's coming soon, by the way. I gather Mariam would like to meet her. They're still friends, you know.' Cynthia returned her attention to her friends. 'Apologies, I'm afraid she has not yet been introduced. This is Sophia Daisy Ellis. She lives in France and she was my friend.' Cynthia did not bother to say any more.
Mariam rushed out. 'Sophie! I'm so glad you've made it. I thought you could not come tonight. Where is Rose?' Sophia's mouth quirked. 'Glad people still like me. Au revior, Cynthia.' She turned on her heel and walked away. 'Hey, friends, don't worry, Sophia was very good with me when we were young. But her twin was bad influence on her. I'm not sure where her twin and her father is, but don't worry, they're not staying here. They will be at the Jasmine Hotel. Just... don't bother with her, okay? Our mums are still friends, so... yeah, she came...' Her eye caught Oliver's. He knew. He knew. Inside, she seemed to scream 'help, help me!' Cynthia quickly looked away.
Cynthia felt like she was boiling inside. She quickly changed the subject. 'So, yeah. So, Dora, I mean Pandora, not you Isadora, and Oliver and Olivia -- you're going to stay over. Do you want to wait until midnight? And Isadora and Rita, I'm afraid you will not be able to attend the midnight activities, but you should be able to attend everything before and including the fireworks show. Really we didn't plan much after that, only some activities for those willing to stay up. I'm not sure your Grandmother can stay up that late though, since the fireworks last until ten.
Cynthia steepled her fingers. 'Who are you guys going to dance with? It doesn't have to romantic. So, for instance, Oliver, you can dance with Olivia if you want to. And you don't have to be of a different gender. So, who wants to dance with me?
Cynthia checked the clock in the corner. 'We'll wait a bit more for the other guests, but if they're too late, that's their problem. Dinner lasts for a good two hours, so we should all be finished and we could catch up with the latest news. Come, we'll go sit in the dining room and wait for the others. I've put your names on the chairs. '

Beaufort Family’s New Year Celebration
──────────── ─────────────
date: 12/31/22 | place: Beaufort Family Manor | #ba9826= Aurora(English), #c60689= Mum(English & Scottish), #c95618= Aurora(Scottish), Catrina(Scottish and a little bit of English) | Thoughts= Italics
It was Decemeber 31st, 2022. New Year's Eve. We were going to open up into a whole new year, a whole new era, and Mum wanted to celebrate the occasion by going to a fancy party. Are you serious? But it's not my place to judge, unfortunately. At least my 8-year-old cousin Catrina was coming with us. She was going to Hogwarts in 3 years, and she came from a pureblood family, including my mother's brother, and his wife, a pureblood wizard who, too, had gone to Hogwarts. Catrina's mother had wanted her to go so that she could experience these types of meetings and gatherings early, as a pureblood from the Moriarty family. And I was supposed to tag along because- well, actually, I didn't really know why, but I was tagging along anyway. I was told to wear a formal dress, all white...I wasn't used to wearing all white, but it didn't look bad. "Hurry up girls, you're going to be late!" Mum called up the stairs, which jolted me back into reality. We soon left for the family manor at which the celebration was taking place. Along the way, Catrina asked me, "Are they going to be lots of important families at the party? Is everybody there a pure-blood?" It's lucky that technically, I'm trilingual because Catrina doesn't know a lot of English, and Scots is her mother tongue. "I don't think so," I said. "There are probably lots of purebloods there, but I'm sure that there will be half-bloods too, like me for instance." Soon, we arrived. I stepped out of the car with Catrina and knocked on the large door. "Hello?" I called. "Is anyone there?" "Are we late?" Catrina asked. I just shrugged. "Hopefully not..."

Reduciosorry for the delay in posting, and i do hope i did everything right. If i need to edit anything just shoot me an owl and i'll be glad to fix whatever is needed.One of Bailey's dear friends was hosting a New Year's Celebration, so of course Bailey said that she was coming. Bailey had attended several balls and parties, more than she had ever attended ever. Of course, this meant that Bailey's family was the one group of people she had not spend a lot of time with, but that was ok because they were in Poland for the Holiday season, and there was no way for Bailey to join them.
Arriving, bailey entered to see several friends. Rita, Cynthia their hostess, Oliver brown and Pandora. there was also someone bailey did not know, but who she thought was named Isadora. Bailey smiled to them all, and walked up to Cynthia, and said "I am so sorry for being late, i do apologize. Where would you like me to sit?"
Bailey sat at the table where she was instructed, where she would be next to kim on one side, pandora on the other. Bailey was glad she was next to Kim, but she wondered if Cynthia had had a reason for putting them together... now it not the time to be thinking about this Bailey realized, looking to see who else would be at her table. Cynthia was also at her table, with Damion, Oliver and his sister Olivia whom Bailey had never met.
a lot of Ravenclaws... all except Olivia and Kim, actually Bailey realized.
remembering that kim had told her that he would be late, due to being at another party, Bailey said to Cynthia "I dunno if Kim mentioned this, but he will be a tad late; he is also attending another party today. He said he will get here as fast as he can, and i just wanted to let you know!"
we are all born beautiful. it is a tragedy we are convinced that we are not”
