Summer Camp Spin the Bottle Group 3 Closed

Moderation Post - Round 1

For whatever reason, students had gathered near enough to each other and the game of Spin the bottle had started. Apparently. I don't see anyone but you know, you're all there for some reason and one of you was handed a bottle. You might have been roped in, you might have chosen this. But whatever happens, it's now your responsibility!

Hanako Tone likely signed up just to get things on Rainwood and hold it over him but, the same could also be true. The bottle landed on a visitor to Hogwarts, one Viola Rhea Tempete and now a choice had to be made!

Aurora Ranvier probably wanted to kiss that cute Felix kid or maybe that Milo boy... But she ended up spinning the bottle for it to land on Emile LeDoux. Would Emile do in their place?

Gia Adelard and Rosella Sokolov found themselves paired up after Gia spun the bottle for it to land on Rosella. Well, well, well.

Niklaus Turgenev spun the bottle. It would spin quickly. Winnie Harper probably sat there, dreaming of Jack or Ruka or Levi or Matt or one of the many other boys she thought of. However, whether or not she knew Niklaus did not matter... It landed on her and now they were face to face with an important decision to be made.

The Gryffindor Evelynn Decipio found herself facing the Slytherin Opeila Winters as the bottle pointed directly towards the latter.

Levi Drakos's eyes probably lit up with glee as the bottle stopped on the cute girl that he would recognise instantly. It landed on Santario, right? Wait- the bottle spun a little more, perhaps from a last-minute breeze. He found himself paired up with Nicholas McCowan instead... Hey, Nicholas was pretty cute too!

Santario Martin somehow found herself roped into this game. Everyone else was playing it and everyone was staring at her as she was told to spin the bottle. Whether or not she understood the game or wanted to play was too late now. She spun the bottle, probably hoping to just get herself so she did not have to kiss anyone. But alas, it landed on Lamont Runesby. He was a nice boy, right?

Percival Rainwood ended up having to play the game after his careless words to Hanako. What a silly joke to make... But now, he was there, he ended up having to spin the bottle. It spun round and round till it landed on Nate Smirnow.

Niklaus looked over the group lazily as the bottle went spinning. He looked over them all, many names he thought he had hurried before. They were all purebloods, he was sure of it. To him, all wizards were pure. He had heard stories of wizards born without powers and had learned that them weren't pure. He didn't really get a good understanding of the blood statuses held so highly in London and at Hogwarts. He, himself, was a pureblood through many generations. He even had some to die because of their magic, not that he knew that of course.

So to him, all were pureblood. Why would blood status matter when you had to fight just to be taught about the powers you had? He still believed that they were taught to defend. The training is almost army or militant-like in the group he was to be in the next time he was in school.

He would learn to fight to protect his magic, he had no reason to believe that the others were fighting each other for the right to learn it their magic.

The boy sighed as the bottle began to slow down, before stopping. He looked up at to see a girl. He smiled kindly, "Здравствуйте, меня зовут Никлаус Тургенев.Hello my name is Niklaus Turgenev" He said, his voice deep with accent at first. He blushed slightly when he realized he wouldn't be understood.

He searched his mind for English before he spoke again, his voice lighter. "May I kiss you?" He asked softly, as his focus was on the girl. Winnie.

───It was the night of the slumber party and Winnie had shown up wearing her cutest set of pyjamas, it was a cute strawberry sleep romper, cream in colour and printed with bright red strawberries. The set even came with a matching robe for maximum style. On her feet, she wore a set of cute fluffy pink slippers.

The night started off great, she even met up with a few of her favourite people; Santario, her new bookworm pal, Aurora, who was on her Quidditch team and always managed to make her laugh, Opeila, who had helped her with her overwhelming crush on Jack Burnett, and Levi, the boy who made Winnie want to compose poetry and run away all at once. Hanako was also a familiar face, a person that had attended Dee Prince's birthday party. He had promised not to insult anyone that day, an odd promise, but Winnie had still appreciated it.

It seemed the older students were up to... Something. They had their group gather round. Winnie slid beside Santario, peeked over at her, and offered her a large smile. She was about to ask her how her August was going, but before she knew it, a bottle had been placed in the middle of the group and the rules of the game were explained. Wait a minute... She might not have been the brightest crayon in the pack, but she knew exactly what this was! She swallowed nervously and glanced around, squeezing her eyes shut each time a stranger spun the bottle. She didn't want to kiss a stranger. She wanted to kiss someone she knew. Someone she liked. Actually, she wasn't even sure if she could handle kissing any of these people. Oh, Merlin... Merlin please--...

A voice suddenly spoke to her and she blinked, flushing when she realized it was aimed towards her. It was a brunette boy, one from another school. She didn't understand what he was saying, but then he corrected himself and spoke in English, "I..." Her face was burning a deep crimson. "... Okay..." She managed to agree. She would lean forward, practically crawling towards the boy. Their faces would press closer to each other and then...

She suddenly grabbed him by his chin and turned his head, pressing a kiss to his cheek instead. Her strawberry lipgloss left a sticky kiss mark on his skin. "...Now sit back down and... Try again!" Winnie quickly retreated to her previous position and hid her face in her hands.

Action: Kissing Nik on the cheek.

[font=PT Sans]And so the little game began and the bottle picked the fated unfortunate lad that was paired up with him. Did he feel sorry for the student? Not so much. Afterall, he was only here on 1 mission and 1 mission only. To remember the faces of anyone who chose the wrong choices when they were paired up with Rainwood. The wrong choices being anywhere between the kiss option and the hug option. Holding hands, he could forgive to an extent. If they choose to run away, then good for them. They’re faces won’t be remembered after this. Therefore, a happy year in Hogwarts will be achieved. At the very least, they won’t have an overly jealous 3rd year popping into their peaceful lives from time to time.

Such a shame he couldn’t do much during the game. Oh, well. During the game, he decided to have the utmost fun with it. He was going to give them the opportunity to kiss someone as cute as him. Generous, is he not? He had never done it before but surely it would be more entertaining than a grotesque hug or a boring flee? Nawh, he’ll be focused on his mission but he’ll be sure to have fun anyways. Yes, this does mean he can kiss someone else but Percival can’t. It was an unsaid rule. The reason being one of the two becomes an irrational affection deprived child and the other continues to be the annoyingly handsome kid he is.

As the game started, he was surprised the duelling co-captain didn’t seem to know what the game was about. Now who was the funny kid that tricked her into this? He tried his best to hold back a chuckle but gave the poor student a soft nudge behind her back. ( Claiming the opportunity to push Santario >:D). Unfortunately, she seemed to favour the most boring option in the game. How she would last the future rounds, he wasn’t sure.

It was then that another pair made their choice. Hanako didn’t get how someone could look so natural asking someone to kiss him. It was the deep voice and the slight accent, for sure. Maybe the face as well. Nevertheless, strawberries didn’t seem to have a problem with it. Except her face. To give her the nickname Strawberries certainly was a good choice to make. Why learn her name when Strawberries fitted her so well?

Soon, the bottle for him landed on another unfamiliar face. Good! He can turn on the charm without barfing.

“ Well, stranger~” he hummed to his partner, whose name he won’t bother to ask “ I’m very allergic to hugs and running away seems extremely boring to me. So if it doesn’t bother you, would you be willing to make this game more fun? Or at the very least, memorable~?” Gosh, he definitely sounded so nice when he said that. He even added ‘ if it doesn’t bother you’ to his sentence. This therapist would be proud.

And then a thought came to him. What if- he could scare all his partners away with his annoying personality? He didn't say he didn’t mind kissing a stranger for the sake of a game but wouldn’t it be better if he didn’t need to do anything at all! He wouldn't need to be the loser that left the game because he was scared. He would be the one to scare them! God, he was a genius. This was his new tactic now. With his talent in being annoying, he was invincible.

“ So, what do you say, kid#1 whose face I’ll forget after this? Would you allow me to kiss you~?”

Spin the bottle. That was oddly simple enough to do. What kind of fun will people get from it? At first, she was reluctant to join the group because the game did not sound interesting enough. Upon arrival, there was one person in particular that caught her eyes. Not in the good kind, of course. It was full of hatred and resentment. The Foulplayer, Nicholas McCowan. Their path crossed in the quidditch scrimmage and he had the audacity to hit her with a bludger twice. Although that was not his fault whatsoever, she could not help but send a glare his way. At that point, she still did not know how the game work, but she hoped it would land on him so she could do the bludger revenge with the bottle.

Oh no. Once she knew it was a kissing game, her mind immediately scratched off Nicholas’ name. Until the hell freeze, there was no way she would let her lip touched him. The only thing she would give to him was a death stare and nothing else. Perhaps some hexes or jinxes. Now it was her turn to spin. And it landed on, someone she didn’t recognize. Can I bail now? please? She would then walk closer to the boy and whisper. “I-I have someone in mind to have my first kiss with, so I’ll save it for now, sorry.” Though, the Ravenclaw did not want to make people think that she was a coward. Of course she was, but the girl wanted to let people think differently. “But this is the best I could give right now.” Aurora kisses the back of her hand and would place it on the boy’s cheek if he allowed her to.

Why he had opted to take part in the game, Nicholas still wasn't entirely sure. Was it some hot-headed and absolutely foolhardy attempt to prove himself? It hardly seemed the appropriate venue for glory-seeking. But here he was, sat in a circle with some of his classmates and some visitors from other schools besides, only the dark of night hiding just how ridiculously red his skin had turned. He had never even kissed someone before, what the hell was he supposed to do here? His eyes cast downward, intently looking at his feet, studying every blade of grass lest someone see just how uncomfortable he was.

The spinning of the bottle commencing changed that, and the boy looked up, taking stock of who he was seated amongst. Most unfamiliar, his eyes glossed over a few international students before they caught the sheer hatred that emanated off of Aurora Ranvier. He blinked, and he found his embarrassment replaced by genuine confusion. He may not have been the best at reading people, but he could sense loathing, and she loathed him. Why? Because of what he had done during the quidditch scrimmage? That was an entirely fair move, if he'd been caught he would have been penalised, yet he wasn't caught and his team had earned their advantage. To hold that against him months after the fact was more than petty, it was childlike. Yet, considering the girl's obsession with chocolate and screaming, it definitely tracked. He answered her glare with a roll of his eyes, as dramatic as he could muster. He hardly had time for whatever nonsense was going through her head.

The shock of seeing the girl's resentment for him was soon subsided by another, far more potent shock, however. Drakos, one of Nicholas's roommates spun the bottle and whilst it looked set to land on Santario Martin that same girl who had sent Nicholas to the hospital wing in his first and only duel, it instead landed on Nicholas himself. The boy from Ulster blinked, dumbfounded. Oh, so this was how the game worked?

He looked down from the bottle then up at Levi, then back down again, then back up as if trying to puzzle out exactly he was supposed to do. He didn't particularly want to kiss the other boy, after all. Besides, they would be dorming together come September, wouldn't that make it awkward? The fact that it would be his first ever kiss and he was once more blushing a furious pink was clearly the more prescient factor, but he forced such emotional thoughts down.

"Drakos, mate," Nicholas spoke sheepishly, "Hug?"

The tone was awkward, with a few nervous chuckles, but he supposed a hug, a proper manly hug quick and firm, would fill the requirements nicely. He didn't really want to embrace Drakos either, but if he could convince him somehow to make a show of flaunting the exact rules of the game, all the better.

It was almost comedic how twice in the span of only a few months Levi had found himself in the worshipping circle of the Great Empty Bottle. The phantom of the creepy drunkard was overjoyed to have such a man in his midst once again, though the spectral bastard would do him no favors when it came his time to disturb the Great One. The brunet had watched the bottle pair rather picturesque duos, perhaps their faces were both equally symmetrical or their posture similarly poor. Admittedly a damn shame that lovely Winnie of the Rehearsal Room was shunning some boy who seemed perfectly mediocre, but who was he to judge?

Yes, the bottle and the looming choir had grown tired of the lame and semi-normal smooches and grievances, aiming in the criminal direction of his roommate, a name filed somewhere in the back of his dusty mind that the young Gryffindor would not care to scavenge for. He wasn’t particularly displeasing to the eye, though… well, a haircut never hurt anyone but the bald, now did it? Perhaps No-Name hadn’t gotten the memo that the janitor was in need of his mop back. A resentful expression was swallowed down Levi’s throat along with the chuckle it carried like a little roadie. He supposed there were worse people to kiss. Pucker up, Nameless, you’re about to—

Oh, wait. Never mind.

Drakos, the cleaning supply had announced, spitting out the name that probably wandered in his dreamy glaciers for months. Of course. It would be impossible to bunk with Levi and not become addicted to his flawlessness, the charm that leaked from him, a puddle with every step. I am almost sorry I don’t recall your name, Mop.

Well, Levi had no intention of coming off as some desperate weirdo, not unlike the phantom breathing in his ear as the bottle gently swayed left and right on an uneven platform. “Best hug of your life, mate.” He’d return the phrasing, though it did sound a tad unnatural with his Scottish accent. Levi would then shoot the boy a huge grin, teeth shimmering from meticulous care, and rose to his knees to awkwardly meet Moppy in the middle and likely linger in the embrace slightly too long to be acceptable. Still, once they’d let go and fell back into the default, the brunet would wink and grant him a hearty laugh, breaking through the tension in the ghost’s noxious air with a pickaxe of delight.

Okay, the Hogwarts campgrounds were nothing impressive, but even Viola could admit that it was a beautiful night. Her eyes followed the stars, clearer than she remembered stars ever being. The campfire blazed high, and the nerd in Viola wanted to know exactly how the harp had been enchanted to play itself, because the music was simply incredible. There was an undeniable ambience in the air.

Groups had begun gathering for a game of spin the bottle, and after asking someone who looked around her age to explain the rules, Viola grabbed a scone with cream and made her way to a group that seemed to be around her age range.

She took a seat on a large cushion and covered her legs with a blanket. It was a warm summer, but the night had a certain chill, and her lilac sundress was not doing a great job at keeping her warm. She made small talk with a few strangers until someone reached for the bottle and span. She didn't have to wait too long until some student's spinning bottle landed on her.

The bottle's spinner had a tone that made Viola feel immediately suspicious and cautious, but she kept her charm up. He really didn't seem to want to hug or run away, which was fine, since Viola planned to do neither. Besides, he had said 'if it doesn't bother you', which was the closest thing to asking for consent someone could do in this game, so, maybe not a creep and her intuition was just wrong.

She really didn't appreciate being called 'kid 1 whose face I'll forget after this', but this was her first round, and she didn't want to seem like a coward or worse, uninteresting, and he hadn't seemed so bad before, so she might as well give the kiss option a try.

She smirked and met his eyes.

"Aw, and here I was, thinking I was making the game more memorable just by being here. Well, I guess I'll have to kiss you, if it'll make the game more fun."
