It was nearly March, which meant that the season was beginning to waver between the cold winters of
comfortable days in the dorms surrounded by candles and Dove's first weeks at Hogwarts to warm, shining days of spring that were spent planting flowers, watching birds and appreciating the first few plants of the season. Today was a particularly warm day, and Dove decided to host a picnic. She laid a blanket down in a spot away from the shade of the trees. After all, what was the point of sitting around in the cold, damp shade when there was a beautiful spot right in the sun?Dove opened a basket she had brought, in which she contained some mashed potatoes she had made.
Hopefully they liked them! She was beginning to get more accustomed to some of the foods and cultures here, however she still wasn't fully sure. At that moment, Maple swooped down, dropping the extra envelopes on top of Dove's head. "Mapleeee!" She groaned, trying to make quick work of disposing of all the envelopes into her bag and off her head. "I just did my hair, sweetie!" She sighed.She knew the owl didn't understand her, so she just shrugged it off.
"You're right, I'll never be mad at you, huh?" The owl swooped down further to stand next to her and tilted her head as if using all of her (three) brain cells to try to understand what Dove was saying. Dove scratched the owl's head and, while waiting for more people to arrive, leaned back and enjoyed the little sunshine.

@Dove Peregrine
An unexpected invitation from another unknown person. With whom, Adya not once actually got a chance for an official introduction the former days. In recent times, surprisingly she receives more such invitations to attend.
That's not a bad thing either considering Adya gets to have some fun and also gets used to people with wizarding backgrounds more because of these events. Moreover, everything might end up fine and smooth if nobody comments on her for being born to muggles.
At the moment, it's for a picnic and it's from someone named Dove Peregrine. The girl doesn't recognize the name. Although she hopes she could recognize the girl's face when they meet this day. Adya put on the first things her hands caught from her closet, that is her green jumper and baggy jeans, and strolled towards the grounds.
After putting them on, the girl paced toward the school grounds. Moving around the grounds in search of the girl named Dove, the brown eyes caught sight of a blanket spread out and a girl lying down on it. It's probably Dove. Who else could it be? Unless she's being pranked or something.
Adya walked towards the girl, "You must be Dove, I guess?-" posing a calm look. "- I am Adya Oakes, I guess I am your invitee unless I ain't supposed to be your invitee" she stretched her hand out for a handshake before she sat down.

Bailey woke up with a smile on her face. She had had a great first few weeks back to school, and was excited.
Deciding to make some shortbread and a batch of her triple chocolate scones, for the picnic that afternoon. She had been invited to by a mystery person, and Bailey was so excited!! She had found the letter at the entrance of her house common room.
Making the scones, Bailey made sure that when she packed the basket for the picnic that she had butter in a jar, and some jam.
Cutting up some strawberries, Bailey placed them in a container and added them to the basket. The triple chocolate scones finished just as the shortbread did, and Bailey sliced them up and added them to the basket as well.
Lastly bailey filled two thermoses/ one with hot water, for tea, and one with hot chocolate. Bailey added small jars of peppermint candy, and marshmallows for the hot chocolate, and a ton of tea leaves to her basket of food.
In a separate basket Bailey piled up a few plates, some silverware, cups and mugs along with some napkins.
Taking both baskets with her, Bailey walked to her dorm, changed quickly, and then headed down to the grounds.
Arriving outside, Bailey spotted two girls, and went over to them. It appeared that this was where the picnic was.
Just to double check, Bailey asked “Is this the picnic?”
Remembering her manner, Bailey smiled and said “oh yes- and my name is Bailey. Bailey Glade! Third year, Ravenclaw!”

Dove smiled at the two girls. "Yes, this is the picnic! I'm so glad you two decided to show up. If you don't mind, may I take your baskets while we wait for everyone else to arrive?" Dove took the two baskets from the girls and sat them next to her own basket. "My name is Dove Peregrine. Hufflepuff, first year! It's nice to meet you two."
She paused for a moment, before asking, "So, while you left your house, did you see anyone else coming down with you? Not that it matters, of course, you two seem lovely." Dove smiled. The last picnic she didn't have many people to invite, so she just invited people that she had even interacted with for half a moment. This time, she felt like it would be creepy in a sense, so she just dropped an invitation at the door of each house.
"Anyways, what did you two bring? I made mashed potatoes! It's not much, but I forgot to go out to buy more ingredients, and I was going to bake some bread, but of course Maple decided to fly around and knock over the carton of milk I had bought, which meant I couldn't make the bread, and then I had to clean my outfit which took a while, so even if I could I had no time." She sighed, recounting the stressful morning to the two girls who had shown up.

André walked out to the grounds in a simple outfit, his wand was his his back pocket and some owl treats in his front on. In his hands he had a plate full of sugar cookies that he made himself. Not to brag but he thought they looked really good! They at least smelled amazing!
Miko was flying up in the sky, staying close to him. More then likely because of the treats in his pocket. He had found an invitation to this picnic and decided to show up, his father had told him that it was rude to show up to places empty handed show he made the sugar cookies, one of his favorite kind.
He spotted what he thought could be the picnic, it was in a more sunny area away from the shade of the trees. He assumed this was the place as there was some people there and a picnic blanket down. He walked over to the small group, "Hello everyone, I'm André Lebedev. A first year hufflepuff. " he introduced himself. Miko had landed on the ground a foot away from were the blanket was laying. "This is Miko my owl, I hope you don't mind but I brought some sugar cookies! " André placed the cookies down and took a seat down.

The girl who had to have been the one to send the owl, Dove, smiled up at Bailey and the other girl, saying that they were in the right place for the picnic.
"Thank goodness! I've waited all day for this, i am so excited!!" Bailey said, smiling and sitting down as she handed her basket to Dove. Dove introduced herself, though bailey had known her name - from where bailey did not know, but was sure it was from a club.
As Bailey was about to tell Dove and the other girl what she had brought, another person, one Bailey vaguely recognized from @Kim Sato pointing him out, arrived. He introduced himself as André, and bailey smiled and said "Hello! i'm Bailey - Bailey Glade!!! its really great to meet you!"
then bailey continued with what she had been about to say ealier. Bailey said "I made some shortbread and some of my triple chocolate scones, as well as packing two thermoses, one with hot water and one with hot chocolate- one for making tea, and the other obviously as hot chocolate!! i also brought a few jars, with peppermint candy and marshmallows for our hot chocolate!!"
Bailey smiled widely at the other people in the group, excited to see where this went.
