Magical Masquerade: the actual ball Closed

Uri's New Mask

It only took about five minutes before Uri was back at the ball. There still appeared to be a few people loitering at the entrance, but Uri was totally disinterested in that. As he passed under the arch, he read the sign admonishing everyone to wear masks. It wasn't a problem for him with his fancy new monkey mask. He headed into the ball and was immediately hit by a symphony of colors. Apple trees, cherry trees, and a bunch of other trees and shrubs he couldn't identify by name, but it was beautiful. All the colors meshed so well together that it was incredibly pleasing to the eye. As he walked towards the middle, he saw a gigantic dance floor surrounded by tables. The white cushions and napkins really set off well against everything else. Whoever had planned this had really hit it out of the park.

Uri meandered around for a few minutes, checking out the various food and drink options before settling on a light supper. He grabbed a goblet and filled it with sparkling cucumber limeade. He also grabbed some melon and prosciutto and some of the Greek antipasto. Standing back up, he started to look around to see if he could find the boy named Matthias so he could move on to the next step of his plan, but he didn't see the boy anywhere. Instead, he saw Siobhan and Reginald and meandered over in their direction. When he arrived behind them, food in one hand and drink in another, he greeted them with, "Hello again."

With all of the students trying to get into the ball, Kaitlyn understandably lost Minnie in the shuffle. Just so much was going on at once. While there were a few friendly faces in the crowd, she was plainly not good with crowds. Her shyness overtook her. Plus, she was frankly embarrassed that she could lose sight of such a cute Hufflepuff.

The young Slytherin stepped foot into the Great Hall alone, donning her mask. Weirdly, she felt more confident talking to others with it on. Despite feeling scared, a confident smile graced her lips. She glanced around the room. Spotting Viva talking to someone she didn’t know, Kaitlyn waved at her friend. As she walked, looking around for Minnie, she spotted a young girl by herself. Kaitlyn smiled at her. “Hi,” she whispered, while walking past.

Her blue eyes eventually found her target, Minnie, sitting with a drink. Kaitlyn smiled, and twirled over to her. “Hi Minnie! That was some crowd outside,” she said, while taking a seat next to the Hufflepuff, the bright smile never leaving her face. “I forget if I said it outside, but I love your outfit,” she complimented her. Was she very nervous right now? Yup! But, she was determined to have a good night with Minnie, so she pushed her fears deep inside of her, so she could enjoy the night.

As Tracey was walking from the entrance of the ball to the actual ball, the young Ravenclaw couldn't seem to find her friend anywhere, so she had a feeling that Mateo was already inside, and if he was, hopefully Tracey could sit with him, at the table, since surely he'd already have his own table, right? Tracey also knew that it'd be a great opportunity to talk with Mateo more, and hopefully Mateo and Klynn could become friends.

By the time Tracey snapped out of her wandering thoughts, she was already at a beautiful archway with so many pretty flowers! Tracey was about to make some more flower crowns, but remembered she was about to enter her very first ball, so she took the idea out of her head, and entered the ball.

She saw some masks, but Tracey was already wearing one, and it went perfectly with her outfit, so she didn't switch out her mask, like some people probably did. She then saw a dance floor, which hopefully she'll be on later. She also saw a table with food and drinks on it, where she'll be going later.

Tracey then scanned the room, and only saw a few people she knew, but she didn't go over to any of her school friends, since when she found Mateo, she walked over to him, and she knew he was deep in thought, so, Tracey placed the flower crown on his head and said,
"Mateo! Mind if we sit with you?"
"Oh, hey, Trace. Sure, we don't mind. What's the flower crown for?" Tracey heard Mateo reply.
"Thanks! Oh, I felt like making some," Tracey says while sitting down beside one of Mateo's friend's dates.
"Thought so," Mateo replied.

Zach entered the ball with Raizel. Well, it should be three of them but the one was still catching her cat. And where was she? Even Zach didn’t know. But she said she would come back to them and the boy believed in her words. Oh! And about the cat, Zach would ask her later. What was her cat's name again? Brain couldn't remember. Well, he would see this creature later anyway (or not?).

He passed the archway and saw the board. Fable masks were hovering in the air. He wondered if it was provided for the students who didn’t bring their masks. He was lucky that Alyssea’s parents sent them the mask he was wearing now. “What spell do you think they use to make these masks hover, Raizel?” he asked the Wolf. He doubted that Levitation Charm could stand this long or worked that way. But whatever that was, he definitely needed to fill his stomach. The growl from his belly was heard for the umpteenth time.

“Let’s grab some food first. I’m super hungry,” he grinned. The Fox walked quickly to the food corner. It was festive indeed, but Zach wasn't familiar with most of the foods. It looked delish but so alienated that made Zach decide to take the sandwich. His blurry eyes scanned the table if to find his favourite dessert, silky pudding. But none of it was there. A little disappointing it was. Then he moved to the drinks station. There were many refreshing beverages in many colours. But the eyes of The Fox caught the drink in orange colour. He grabbed a glass of it and walked towards the table.

“Where is Alyssea? Do you see her?” he asked The Wolf after putting his sandwiches and pumpkin juice on the table.

a series of unfortunate shenanigans
@Raizel Voltrouz • @Zach Zaphiere

You're... you're doing alright it seems, that's good.

It was good to know she looked the part on the outside. Physically, yes, it didn't look like she sustained any brain injuries from her time underwater. Lack of oxygen or whatever, she was functioning just fine if her later achievements weren't enough of an indication. She managed to work her way up to being a full-time reporter for the Headliner and won a duel, among other things. A few months ago, she commentated her first official broom race; exciting stuff. Life looked good, even if her mental health wasn't at the same level just yet.

Alyssea practically ran into the Quidditch Stadium so as to not lose Raizel and Zach in the chaos. She did, however, find the Ravenclaw boy's wand on the way and quickly scooped it up as she entered. Once she got to an open clearing on the pitch, she put Rusty down and scratched the back of his ear. "Thank you."

What was Alyssea thanking a cat for? For giving her the means to talk to that guy earlier, of course.

As she wandered around searching for her friends, she picked up a glass with her free hand from one of the tables. Last time, she didn’t eat properly and nearly drowning led to a decreased appetite. Besides, the food looked incredible, so why not? But first, maybe a drink to get into the vibes.

Eventually, she caught sight of Raizel and Zach and waved towards them. As she approached, she was amused at Zach's hunger, watching him wolf down food as if it would disappear if he blinked. "Sorry! I'm here now. What's up? Oh! Also, your wand." She said as she handed Zach his wand.

This is the official start of the Spring Ball if one would ask Raizel, their time spent standing outside, waiting for others to find the key while dealing with their own shenanigans doesn't count. Magic sure was in the air with how those masks were floating, waiting to be taken by the unfortunate ones who couldn't bring their own or perhaps, just didn't have time to prepare it. Lucky for them, Alyssea had extras with her parents giving her three. “Who knows, must be a strong levitation charm.” Raizel answered Zach.

Her companion, the Ravenclaw boy, Zach, had already gone straight for where they are serving food just after he saw the levitating masks. Yes, he was that hungry, to the point that he wasted no time on going straight for it just after a few seconds when they had arrived. An amused smile crept up to her face, slowly following after as she wasn't as hungry as the boy. Tons of delicacies laid in front of them. Those foods can sure stir up hunger yet a part of her wants to stay away from it, for her not to pick up any. While the food at the ball sure looked enticing, the cookie event was still fresh in her mind. The last time she ate something from a Hogwarts event, it sent her into a mad search for an answer. She swears, she can still feel the pain from that moving gingerbread man.

Speaking of, there might be similar surprises hidden within this current ball, unexpected ones. It's not a Hogwarts event if nothing goes wrong, a lesson that she had learned with how she keeps attending these so-called events. Even though she knows the dangers that might be lurking in the dark, it wasn't enough to keep her from attending unless she isn't in the mood to deal with them… much like right now. Despite the lively atmosphere and the festive vibe, Raizel is having a hard time finding fun. Either because of what happened by the entrance, or just her usual gloomy mood taking over.

What other activities do they even have? Aside from that scavenger hunt. Dancing? Perhaps, but that's something she won't participate in as dancing is not her forte unless someone wants their foot stepped on. Looking around, there doesn't seem to be anything that catches her attention for now which is kind of a bummer. Well, maybe, this good, this peace. While it might take a miracle for it to happen, she does wish for an uneventful ball, despite being a thrill seeker. A change of pace would be nice for once in a while. So while there is peace, might as well enjoy it. You'll never know when it will last and when it does, best be prepared for what's to come.

Head slowly turned upon hearing the familiar voice of her cousin, finally catching up with them and even managed to find Zach's wand which she thought the boy had found already. That almost got lost and that would surely make her feel bad. “Glad you found that.” She said to Alyssea. “And just Zach eating, nothing much.” Really, there's nothing much going on at the moment or maybe, she's just unaware of her surroundings. Who knows, maybe something is already amidst and they remain ignorant of it.

Typically, Sara would much rather nearly drown in a sinking boat than attend a ball with a focus of flowers. Yet, here he was. Dressed and masked with an old piece from prior halloween events and standing at the entrance. The sidelines were his favourite spot. Away from the crowd, the flowers, what so have you. The reason for his attendance: tolerance.

Since entering the magical realm, his allergy to flowers has been cured. Yet that did little to the emotional damage that stained him over his youth. But he figured after years of hate on the detestable flora, perhaps it was time for a change. He had faced brutal battles on life sized chess boards, survived drowning, and multiple brutal quidditch practices. What could go wrong?


Plenty. Plenty could go wrong.

Which explained his stiff posture as he simply stood by the side of the entrance, talking to no one, and looking at nothing. Perhaps others see him as a statue. It would explain the sharp cheekbones. Perhaps others see him as a 6ft bodyguard uselessly ensuring the ball would go well. Regardless, it was hard to move for the first few crucial minutes of the ball. While everyone else was busy finding a way to get in the ball, he was just...

Too deep in his thoughts to fully notice the atmosphere of the ball.

He was not one too….aware of his surrounds ( blame 3 wisdom ). But that meant intentional hard core concentration on organising his thoughts. Mainly involving convincing himself flowers weren’t out to get him. But it was difficult knowing the magical world containing rather unsavoury flowers, ranging from mildly to ‘could poison you with one sniff’.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when the door of the ball finally opened. With a last head shake and a deep inhale, he forced his feet to move. To walk with a feigned air of command and intimidation. His not so subtle annoyance amplified enough by his intimidating demeanour. He stood still in a not so special spot, simply trying to quell his slight temper. Assuring himself he could handle an area of the splash of of spring palettes.

Surely in a few short minutes he could focus more on the consistent stumbles of social interactions as his shyness kicked in. It could be a blessing to be interrupted from his thoughts.
