There was a bit of a long silence then. Unsure of what to do or say, Gemima decided to look around the ballroom as they waited for the rest of their tablemates to arrive. She carefully took some more sweets and tea as well.
Gemima sighed happily. The decorating team, whoever they were, had really outdone themselves. The whole ballroom looked like something out of a storybook. Or maybe one of mum's magazines, too. The air smelled of all the chocolate, cakes, and other assorted confections that students had made the day before. Now all they needed was some sort of music...

As if on cue, a soft tinkling of musical notes floated from an unseen corner. Gemima perked up as she recognized the sounds of a harp, the strings being sweetly plucked with great skill. Professor Lecuyer stood up from his place at the staff table. Gem noticed with a sympathetic laugh that the poor guy still hadn't gotten any good sleep. The dark bags under his eyes were more pronounced than they had been the day before. He announced that song requests were now open. The Ravenclaw girl noticed the excited buzz of voices began to grow. Students everywhere glanced to and fro, some to their partners, others wistfully looked across the room.
Secret admirers! Gemima thought. I wonder if I'll ever have someone like that...

But she didn't have anyone to crush on. Cath had had multitudes of those over the years, but Gemima had yet to experience that fluttery feeling. She saw it every day with her parents, who were the epitome of romance in her life. Her father's amused, intelligent, gentle nature perfectly balanced out her mother's flighty, chaotic personality. They truly brought out the best in each other. She wanted what they had one day, for sure.

For now however, she was fine with not having anyone to love. She was still very young after all. There would be plenty of time for all the mushy stuff to come later. She smiled, looking around at all the lovestruck youth.
As she brought the teacup to her lips again, Gemima finally understood what kind it was. Rosehips...perfect.

CONFESSION AND SONG REQUESTS

"Anonymous would like to dedicate the song, Single Ladies, to Hanako Tone! He's single, ladies and gents! So if your heart belongs to him, don't forget to tell him as much!"

HOW YOU LIKE THESE CUPCAKES?

Although the children had decorated the cupcakes (for the most part) the night prior, Orion had made the cupcakes himself on the night of the 12th. He had put a lot of work into the dozens upon dozens of sweets. Thankfully he was a competent baker after years of crafting late-night pastries. Unfortunately, he was also sleep-deprived, which seemed to be a common problem throughout the night. If anything were to help Orion realize he needed help with his restlessness, it was the Tea Party.

That being said, there was something... Special about a few batches of cupcakes. As the night of the 12th wore on, Orion had become tired and had accidentally used a different ingredient. Amortentia. He had realized his mistake and had gone to toss the batches out, but unfortunately, his sweet tooth got the best of him and he took a quick snack break to munch on some of the sweets the house-elves themselves had made. A common ingredient in their food being a forgetfulness potion. Oh dear, it seemed the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had forgotten all about the cupcakes' secret ingredient.

If anyone were to bite into their cupcake, they might notice it smelled quite possibly like their favourite thing. They just may find the next person who met their gaze to be rather appealing...

Amortentia Rules
1. Consent is important. Please ask your character's victim new sweetheart if it is okay to have your character become obsessed with them.
2. Seeing your own reflection in a teacup is a valid option.
3. For this round only, the length of the effects of the Amortentia is up to you. Taking a bite after this round means accepting the chance that your character might have received an Amortentia cupcake, and your character will be affected for the entire round.
4. If I have missed your character biting into a cupcake, please let me know. From this point on we are asking that if you eat a cupcake, you place the information on the bottom of your post to make it easier for mods.

PLEASE NOTE: This will be the last mod post as our next in-character event, the Blossom Ball, will be starting within the next few weeks. You may continue to roleplay and feel free to state that your character ate a cupcake and ended up under the effects of Amortentia but we ask that the effects stay strictly within this event. This means you cannot claim your character stole Amortentia laced cupcakes from this event.

However, Orion will be keep an eye on the threads, and there is still a table full of teachers, so please try not to do anything he wouldn't do!

Thank you, and we hope you all enjoyed yourselves!
