Add A Little Bit Of... Spice
Add A Little Bit Of... Spice It was June, and that meant one thing!
Well, in truth it meant multiple things. Finals were coming up for students, more and more people piled into the library and study hours hoping to get just a little more crammed into a tiny developing noggin. People were anticipating summer activities run by Hogwarts that invited other schools, anticipating going home. For better or for worse, the students were probably looking for something else to focus on. Or maybe they weren't. Who knew, certainly not Farron who relied ong Google to tell her how to be a good Professor when she got the job offer to work at Hogwarts.
What she did know was that she was pansexual, and it was Pride Month. While she didn't particularly have time to make a weekend run to muggle London for the Pride parades she wanted the LGBTQ+ students to feel like they didn't have to miss out on the worldwide celebrations. A place and time to build community, hang out with friends, do some arts and crafts, and of course eat snacks. Because a Hogwarts errand wouldn't be one without snacks.
The table that was usually Hufflepuff's was full of craft supplies. For posters to be made educating about pride flags and their meanings, or to talk about the history of pride. Or just of cute drawings related to pride, of what pride meant to the students. Supplies to make two different centerpieces, one, two. The first one involved making the flower with a few sets of instructions hand written by Farron. The second one involved taking fake flowers and arranging them into fun rainbow, or various other color schemes of pride flags, there are many colors of flowers, into a provided paper vase. There was also a section with colorful streamers and pride flags, mini and large, to be added to the centerpieces or stuck to the wall via gluing spell and levitation charm to the walls and ceiling.
The Gryffindor Table had an area for making decorations specifically to be taken back to their dorms. Mini posters that could be hung onto the wall, wooden signs with rope hanging apparati to be painted, many colors of paper hearts that were pre-cut to be hung on lines of fishing wire. There was glue, scissors, twine, a stack of colorful paper, paint, colored pencils, glitter of all colors, crayons. If it was a crafting supply that was wanted it was probably there. There were also tiny booklets for students to be able to make zines about pride or their identity (follow this link to find out what a zine is and how to make one). Please reach out should you need something specific and want to double check that it's there.
The Ravenclaw table was decked out with a lavish spread of snacks, despite already having dinner just a bit before. There was, of course, a seven layer rainbow cake, and cupcakes with rainbow frosting. Cookies of various colors galore, typical snacks like pumpkin pasties, crisps, a bowl of muggle candy that Farron sourced, fruit skewers that were rainbow, a rainbow swiss roll cake, a large rainbow salad for those more health conscious, macarons of multiple flavors and colors. It looked like a rainbow threw up all over the table and maybe it had. There was also the typical beverages of water, lemonade, and hot water for tea or hot chocolate. The House Elves had really gone all out for this.
The Slytherin table was for eating, clear of art supplies so nothing got ruined. It also would leave the food table easily accessible for those grabbing food and snacks. If students wanted to they could start decorating the Slytherin table and other tables with their centerpieces. There was a long progress flag table runner that Farron might beam proudly at for having sewn it herself.
Farron is available for interaction unless she is occupied later on by a myriad of students because she is very popular and cool. Farron had her hair up in space buns, she was wearing light blue overalls for a more casual look for being around art supplies and a pansexual colored shirt underneath. She had large pride flag earrings and a rainbow belt, paired with white chunky trainers. She was living her best life.Errand Information

Quinn woke up that morning, very excited. She had heard that there was an errand in the great hall. It was ment to be all about pride, as it was pride month. She had never really stated it but she was pansexual. Knowing nothing about the errand except that it was about pride she rushed down to the hall. She thought that this was going to be a good way for her to come out.
She never told anyone because they had just never asked. She reached the hall and pushed open the door with a smile on her face. There where snacks and places for you to decorate things. She saw the astronomy professor, and gave her a wave.
Quinn walked around looking at the house tables. The hufflepuff table was being used for craft supplies. The Ravenclaw table was used for food and drinks. Grifindors tabled had some more crafting supplies. And the slytherin table was empty.
Quinn went to sit at the Gryffindor table to do some coloring, she was going to color pride flags to see how many she could remember. If anyone was going to come up to her she would more then happily let them sit with her. Or answer any questions they might have. Quinn thought that she knew a lot about pride.

Dinner was always good for him.
It was one of his favorite times of the day, other than the other meals that is.
He was wearing a black t-shirt, a pair of white shorts and sandals. It was a very comfortable type of outfit and one that he'd worn to the capsule errand too. Really, it was the best kind of outfit to wear during hot seasons. Well, if only it was a color different than black. But Kim liked black, therefore he was wearing it because fashion was better than roasting from the heat. For now. If he became a cooked chicken later he might reconsider this decision later on.
Once again, the boy's hair color had changed for the month.
This time it was blond, a more normal color for most people. It actually looked decent.
Reducio
He's wearing a simple black beaded necklace and a pride bracelet (not in the picture).
He's wearing a simple black beaded necklace and a pride bracelet (not in the picture).
Kim had dyed it, using muggle dye, the day before the capsule errand had taken place. But he was really looking forward to second year when they all learned the color spells. It would save so much time and money for him to just be able to use a spell to gain the same effect. Sure, the hands-on work was fun to do, but not every time. Kim stifled a yawn as he reached up to rub his forehead. June was going to be a busy month for him. Lots of things were happening.
Finals were swiftly approaching, and as a perfectionist Kim didn't want to let his grades go down. There were also the clubs he was part of and the ones he'd created on his own. And the two he'd taken over. Not to mention the one Bailey had tricked him into becoming vice-president or co-leader of. On top of all that, he'd also been selected to take part in planning summer camp for the students this year. Therefore, he'd originally had plans tonight to relax.
But Regina's appearance had changed things.
She'd asked him if they could take part in the current errand together and he'd agreed.
Not because he'd wanted to but because he'd sensed she really wanted him to be there for her. Obviously, Kim wouldn't let her down. Plus, it might be rather interesting to attend.
This errand happened to be an LGBTQ+ one. Despite the fact that Kim had never come out to anyone before, except Sophia, he still belonged to the group and therefore was interested in this errand. So, he'd waited for Regina to come out of her common room and headed down to the Great Hall with her. They'd decided to have dinner together, as a newly engaged couple, and then wait for the errand to start afterward. Once dinner was over, Kim waited for a time.
He leaned up against one of the walls and watched as the professor of astronomy set things up, along with the help of the house elves. If he was noticed, he would offer his services but if he wasn't taken up on his offer, Kim would continue to watch the proceedings. Once everything was done, he nudged Regina and then moved towards the professor with an interested look upon his face. "It looks awesome, professor." Kim said, nodding at her.
The blond's blue eyes made contact with Regina.
"You want to decorate or eat first?" Kim asked, waiting for replies from both of them.

What type of sick joke was this?
The boy groaned, half peeking out from his curled up position atop his bed; who the heck was sending him mail this late? Criminal is what it was, bloody menace couldn't have waited to have it delivered it in the morning? Or during dinner for that matter? Before he’d slumped into bed… He whined, a wretched thing of pain as that stupid pecking failed to cease; take a hint already bird! Weren't these owls supposed to be sleeping now! Wait till morning!
The pecking continued, rattling the window. There was no peace, tranquility was a lie, and that bird was gonna be a midnight roast at this rate.
With a simpering huff Elsian accepted his fate, rolling out of bed tired and grumpy. The blanket was brought along for the walk, the thick comforter dragging against the wooden floor where Elsi couldn't be bothered to pick it up. Halfheartedly he fumbled with the window latch, shoving the thing open as the devil with wings flew in clutching a tiny red envelope in its little talons of doom. The beast squawked at him expectantly, he hissed at it, it ruffled its wings imploring. How dare. The audacity of this creature! “No treats for demon birds.”
The bloody thing hissed back like a demon. Oho, showing its true colors already! Jokes on the bird he had no treats. “I’ll shut you in here for the night,” he threatened, only half bluffing as he reached for the window menacingly. The bird did not like that. Fluttering its wings wildly and sending feathers into the Gryffindors face in its mad rush to fly out an Elsian squawked as if burned, slamming the window shut behind the evil thing and cursing it all the while as he spat out feathers.
He turned to see where Kitty had been through all this. She had taken his pillow, all 8 gangly legs spread out lazily. The disrespect was unreal tonight. “Wow, thanks for the help Kitty.” He grumbled, fingers tugging the blanket tighter around his shoulders.
The bright red of the envelope stood stark against the floor; how colorful. Must be from his aunt. Groggily he picked it up, one hand fumbling to flick it open distractedly as the Gryffindor flopped back onto his bed and-
“ELSI-” He yelped, dropping the letter, no, the howler in abject horror. What had he done? He sat up quickly, suddenly feeling much more awake in the face of a possible scolding as it flew up and-
“IT'S TIME FOR PRIDE STOP SLEEPING I’M CURRENTLY ON MY WAY TO GRYFFINDOR.” Silence. Simple, shocked silence as the howler spit out a raspberry and ripped itself apart into tiny shreds, peppering the boys lap.
Willow.
Of course, it was Willow. And she was already on the way, probably running. Ugh. Well one thing was for sure, he was not getting back into his school robes. No no. He was staying in the pjs thank you very much.
𓋒
He looked the picture of misery waiting for Willow. Red pj pants stuffed messily into boots, black t-shirt and hair rumpled, and a tiny, thin burnt orange blanket thrown over his shoulders and only held together in place with a cruddy green pin. He looked far from put together as he sat there on the ground waiting for one menace of a friend.
Basically he looked fantastic.
Although he did look a bit glum when the other finally showed, pouting up at the girl.
“Willow,” he began, staring up as his friend in clear betrayal, “Willow you sent a demon bird.” Rude really. Undeniably so. Silently he held out his hands, waiting to be helped up from the floor. “Willow I was sleeping,” he whined, heavily slouching against the girl as they began to walk to the great hall.
Definiantly he smacked her arm in revenge, it was very weak. “You sent a howler while I WAS SLEEPING YOU JERK.” She was lucky Elsian adored her. Still, the boy demanded justice and linked their fingers together to aggressively shake the Hufflepuffs arm as he whined. Somehow this evolved into simple hand holding and skipping on the girl's part as she dragged him along; he was going to draw on her face.
Arriving at the Great Hall was a bag of mixed feelings. On one hand it had snacks and looked actually really fun. On the other hand Willow had totally brought him along as free labor for his amazing stick figure skills.
Then again, cookies. And there were macaroons.
“I wanna go to that table.” He pointed at the food shamelessly. Oh! But he also had to draw on Willow's face. Decisions decisions…
Wait…was that glitter? Well, he knew where he was going!

It was pride month, and Bailey was going to take full advantage of it. She was not part of the LGBTQIA+ community, but she had friends and family members who were.
Waking up on June 4th, Bailey was excited. That evening, after dinner there would be an errand for Pride month. Bailey decided to decorate some pride cookies, because she was almost done with school and needed a way to express herself and take out some stress.
That morning she set up her cookies, which were sugar cookies. Her mum had made them and sent them to her, and Bailey randomly had some powdered sugar, so Bailey made some Royal icing out of the postered sugar and water. Bailey dyed all of her icing different colors, and pulled out a sketch of all of the flags. On top of that, she was also making them of solid colors too.
The cookies were amazing, and an hour later bailey was finished making them.
Letting the icing set for a quarter of an hour, Bailey cleaned up the dorm. She was doing this in her dorm room, and was at the table next to the window. She hated leaving a big mess for the elves to clean up, so she made sure to tidy up. Though when she was done there was still a general dusting of powdered sugar all over.
Leaving the her dorm, Bailey walked to the bathroom to clean up and then she headed to lunch. As she carefully held her tray of cookies she placed them on her bed, and covered them with a light clothes to keep the flys away.
That evening after dinner, Bailey quickly headed back to her dorm to change into her rainbow dress.

Her dress
Heading down to errand which was in the Great hall. Bailey entered the room, and walked over to the Ravenclaw table, where all of the food was. Setting the cookies down, Bailey turned to Professor @Farron Horne and said “I do hope it was okay bringing these cookies- I had some time so I decorated them this morning. My mum sent me the base, and some powdered sugar so I made a Royal icing in my dorm room and decorated them! Thank you for hosting this as well!”
Then bailey turned, searching the few faces for someone familiar. Bailey saw @Kim Sato and @Quinn Root. Deciding to go up to Quinn who was alone, Bailey walked over to the Griffindor table where Quinn was and sat down.
Turning to the younger Slytherin girl, who was coloring, Bailey smiled and said “Hey Quinn! Glad to see you here! How are you?”

Homework was not her friend. Hilda thought the end of the year should be better reserved for relaxing, games with her friends, and feasts. After a full day of classes, reminders about end of year exams, and a filling dinner, the last thing she wanted to do was sit down and do MORE studying. Still, she had resolutely pulled out the waiting homework, a quill and parchment and then faceplanted the desk awaiting further inspiration to complete it.
She opened one eye and rolled her head to the side in an effort to read her first question for her Charms assignment. She groaned, fake cried, and closed her eyes again. Homework was NOT her friend indeed.
“Yeah in the Great Hall now!” A Hufflepuff girl’s excited voice intruded into her brain. Hilda cracked an eye open again. “We could decorate the teachers table even!” “That would be fun!” “I’d put glitter on the professor’s chairs for sure!” The voices started to fade and Hilda realised they had headed out the common room, no doubt for the Great Hall they’d mentioned.
What was happening there? Hilda then raised her head and stared after the students. It surely sounded a lot more fun then just sitting here feeling lost. Her usual study partners were not here to encourage her either… maybe they were in the Great Hall… maybe she’d ask them for help with her Charms homework?
That was all the excuse she needed. Screwing the cap on her inkwell, stuffing her books and papers back into her bag, Hilda swung herself out of her chair and practically skipped after the other students. She wasn’t really neglecting her homework, she told herself in defence. She was merely seeking inspiration elsewhere. It did not take her long to traverse the short hall and round a few corners, to find herself in the familiar large hall that she’s left only an hour or so ago. And yet it had totally changed.
Only one of the tables held food, and boy the snacks there were very colourful and scrumptious looking. Students were flocking to it as though they had not stuffed themselves with food at dinnertime, and sitting at the Slytherin table to eat it. She smiled at this, feeling as though the houses were no longer divided, and indeed saw her own table and Gryffindor’s being used for arts and crafts projects. Professor Horne was overseeing the activity and currently being approached by some students, so Hilda looked around for someone else to tell her what was going on. A Slytherin girl she’d spoken with before and a Ravenclaw in the same year, caught her eye, seated at the Gryffindor table and the former looking like she was colouring in something.
Now that Hilda thought about it, there was a lot of colours. She approached the girls shyly and cleared her throat.
“Hi, do you mind if I sit here?” Hilda asked for permission first though she suspected the seats weren’t allocated. Still, it didn’t hurt to be polite. “I’m not quite sure what exactly is going on here.” She confessed with a small smile to her fellow first years.

"Do you think this is okay?"
Callista tugged at the sleeves of her polo, as if she was attempting to lengthen the short sleeve. Sachiko sat on her bed, watching idly as her owner tried on outfit after outfit, unable to settle on one for the evening. Usually, she didn't mind all that much what she was wearing, as long as it was comfortable, but this was a special occasion! She couldn't just stroll in with her casual clothes and Hufflepuff robe; that would be quite uncouth of her.
Just the thought of being in that noisy dinner hall for over an hour, surrounded by chattering and people, made her skin crawl, but Callista was convinced that she was making progress. After all, she had to stop running away from these kind of things! She was going to eat dinner like all the other students, then stay and help out with some decorations, and she was going to have a fun time.
...
"Arghhh, Sachi, I can't do it! What am I even thinking, going to a pride... celebration? Event? I don't even know what it is! Am I even allowed to go?"
The Hufflepuff flopped on her bed, pouting at her cat much like a seven-year-old throwing a temper tantrum. Sachi meowed sympathetically before proceeding to curl up on Callista's bed, living the dream on her nice, warm blanket. The second year sighed in response. “You’re right, I should give it a shot. I did promise Willow I would be there.” Even if it was because I panicked and said I would go…
“Okay,” she said with newfound enthusiasm. “Enough postponing, let’s go.” With Sachi trotting at her heels, Callista walked out of her room, heart fluttering anxiously but determined nonetheless.
──────✿──────
As the students gradually departed to return to their dorms after dinner, Callista could also see several people staying behind, presumably for the event. She found herself lingering by the doors with Sachi by her side, searching for Willow or really any familiar face, feeling as if she was back to being a first year, fresh-faced with wonder and completely lost.
She had struggled to find her classes, felt awkward and lonely, and hung out a lot in the library, finding solace in exploring this new, fascinating world through books. Now, she was… admittedly about the same, but she had a few friends, and there were many more familiar people wandering the halls. She knew her way around, and she was learning to branch out and spend time outside. In many ways, Callista had grown a lot, but there was still a long way to go.
She still didn’t feel comfortable in crowded spaces, and she still felt awkward talking to strangers. But she was willing to do things she never would have considered before she came to Hogwarts… like attending an LGBTQ+ pride event.
Recently, Callista had been contemplating her own identity─and not in the personality way. It was June by now (even though it still felt like May for her), and she had gotten to spend a lot of time─when she wasn't studying, that is─poking around in her heart for answers. Her talk with Willow had opened her eyes to possibilities she had never considered before, and although she might never be content, she felt a little less lost than she had been that day.
She had a feel now for what "love" and "care" really mean. Somehow, while balancing finals and duelling, she had been working tirelessly on honing her newfound ability for introspection. Callista still didn't quite feel like she belonged at a celebration like this, but a seed of insatiable curiosity had been planted in her that fateful day, and this was yet another opportunity for her to explore. She could ask questions to people who knew what they were! ...If she could summon up the nerve, that is.
Callista watched as a rainbow gradually threw up over the Great Hall. Even the food was rainbow-themed! It was... a bit nauseating to be honest, but this was for pride and diversity! She could deal with some rainbow time. The Hufflepuff shuffled surreptitiously (she tried to, that is) around the small crowd forming, heading for the decorations in hopes of levitating some onto the walls. The least she could do was help out, considering she was most definitely unqualified to make any educational posters─well, that's what she assumed the papers were for, and she couldn't suck up the courage to approach anyone. Not even the professor, although Callista did give her a nod and smile of acknowledgement in passing.

TLDR; Calli spends a concerning amount of time deciding what to wear to the pride errand in her room with her cat, Sachiko. She finally leaves, sporting a modest beige polo and black leggings. She lingers by the doors with Sachi as the errand kickstarts. She searches for Willow and/or other familiar faces. Then, she shuffles around the growing crowd towards the crafts in hopes of putting up some decorations.
Please owl or DM me if you would like to interact with me, thank you! Feel free to mention me if you would like though!

June was the worst month. It wasn't quite summer, but all you thought about was your upcoming holiday. It was rainy, it was muggy, and worst of all, it was June's name. June in June. June who was born in June. It was a truly terrible fate. Other than her birthday, June never looked forward to anything in June.
And so when she heard about this "pride" something-or-other that happened this month, June's interest was piqued. This was, perhaps, a fun celebration that could distract her from her history with June. Even though June was a little confused on what exactly pride was about, she was happy to help in any way she could.
As she re-entered the Great Hall after a quick stop to her dorm room, June was astounded by all the work Professor Horne had already put into this event. Each house's table had an impressive spread of some sort filling it from end to end (except for Slytherin. June decided to overlook this fact). Snacks, paper craft supplies, markers, glitter, and... June lit up when she saw them. Paper flowers. What an ingenious idea, beautiful florals that wouldn't fade or rot as the month went on. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. June knew Professor Horne was her favourite for good reason.
She sheepishly walked around for a little while, searching the room for any familiar faces. Any at all. Merlin, even coming upon Nia Greenwood would be better than seeing no one she knew at all. She recognized Kim… Kim (she realized at this moment that he never gave his surname), the Griffyndor that had come across June and Shawn's bet, but he was already talking with another Gryffindor. Best not to interrupt. June lapped the Great Hall three times before she resigned herself to the fact that she didn't recognize anyone who was here so far.
Well, perhaps crafting alone wasn't such a terrible fate. June made her way to the Hufflepuff table, relieved to see that Professor Horne had left instructions for the paper flowers. At least this way, no one could distract her from making the best paper flowers Hogwarts (and maybe more importantly to her, Professor Horne) had ever seen.
June was determined to not mess this up. She wouldn't, she couldn't. This was the first school-wide event June had attended since the Sorting Ceremony. Maggie and Shawn had finally convinced her, it was time to mingle. Put herself out there. She had to make sure she was perfect.Open to interactions!

Bea wasn't sure what was happening. Many of her housemates had mentioned something about glitter and snacks in the Great Hall? At the mention of snacks, Bea had raised her head up from the floor where her new jigsaw puzzle sat. She could never resist snacks. Apparently all the houses were invited. Maybe one of her friends would be there? And if not, she would grab some snacks and come back to her puzzle (if her housemates didn't complete it!)
She'd already dressed into her pyjamas but didn't mind. It wasn't like she had classes right now! Running up to grab her dressing gown, she pulled it on, heading through the Common Room door towards the Great Hall.
At first, Bea was bombarded by colour. Art supplies lined both the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables, whilst her own house table had snacks galore! Just what she was looking for! Heading in that direction, she plonked down and made sure to grab a handful of snacks at the eagle table.
Soon though Bea's curiosity got the better of her. What were the art supplies for? Not that she was complaining. Creating art was always fun! It was then that she spotted Hilda, one of her Puff friends. Smiling, she shot up heading over to her. She had placed herself near some others. One being Quinn, if she remembered correctly. Beatrice had only met her a few days before, at Professor Galims time capsule event. The other girl was a fellow housemate, but at this possible moment she couldn't remember the girls name. She came up to hug her friend. "Hilda!" She turned to smile at the two seated girls. "Hiya Quinn! Nice to see ye again! I'm Bea," she introduced herself to the other girl. "Fit's wi all the colour?" Beatrice seemed to herself maybe a little too excited. Possibly the sugar had kicked in...But all things considered being in the excitement of the Great Hall right now possibly did it too.

Beatrice had only met her a few days before, at Professor Galims time capsule event. The other girl was a fellow housemate, but at this possible moment she couldn't remember the girls name. She came up to hug her friend. "Hilda!" She turned to smile at the two seated girls. "Hiya Quinn! Nice to see ye again! I'm Bea," she introduced herself to the other girl. "Fit's wi all the colour?" Beatrice seemed to herself maybe a little too excited. Possibly the sugar had kicked in...But all things considered being in the excitement of the Great Hall right now possibly did it too.

Add A Little Bit Of... Spice
Happy Pride month!As Clair walked into the Great hall, because she had heard about a errand that was going on, she was met with a lovely vibe.
Rainbows were something she loved, even if she herself was not LGBTQ+ She still supported those who were, which was why she would be doing this errand.
Today she had decided to wear her rainbow dress, because it only felt fitting for the event! Her hair was pulled up into a messy bun which seemed to make the look perfect, but no she was not done yet! She also had a million pride bracelets, some were on her arms, and some here in her hands, she had a goal of giving everyone a bracelet, there were many many different kinds of them, at least five for each flag.
She also had lots of Pride Necklaces, which she would be giving out as well, she had gotten them all by owl from Belle, and Josh it had been a thing the two would do, Belle would buy them, and Clair would give them out, They had done it for as long as Clair could remember, Hogwarts had not stopped them!
She would busy herself for for the first while giving out these things (feel free to say that Clair gave you one) she would just walk up to people, say hello, and offer them one, they could choose which they'd like. And if they did not want on Clair would just give a smile and wish them a good day and a happy Pride month. Before moving onto the next people.
She wanted to learn about Pride, because she knew like nothing about it other then a few of the flags, (Clair want to learn??? No wayyyyy) and she wanted to support her fellow Students.
First she went to the Ravenclaw table, because naturally food was the best way to go!
She looked at all the snacks, and decided that the best would be a Cupcake, she took one and looked at it, just the thought of cupcakes made her think of the ones she made for Simon in February, oh how that had gone badly.
Shaking the thought away she decided to just enjoy this cupcake in This moment.
After she had enjoyed her cupcake she decided to go and see what the info boards had to say, they would after all help her learn more about the subject.
She scanned through all the info boards, reading all the info that she could. It was every cool and she wished she could read more.
Next she headed to the Lion's table. This was one she was super excited for, Crafts were her thing, she loved them.
Sitting down she decided to think about what she would make first.
At first she thought about making a mini poster for a friend, but she did not know that sort of thing about any of her friends (other then Simon)
And then The idea popped into her head, she would make a mini poster for whoever wanted it!
Sitting down she collected a Deep Pink, Lavender and Dark blue paint, and then glitter in Deep pink, Lavender and dark blue too. Next she got a sheet of paper, a d painted the Deep pink, then the lavender and then the Dark blue, in that order, across the page.
Next came a sprinkle of glitter, she let that dry for a while, and then she wrote on the front in curly letters 'Bi the way, Your amazing!
Happy Pride month!'
She smiled at it, on the back she wrote in very neat and semi tiny letters 'Whoever finds this may have it! Happy pride month!'
She put it down on the table, and started to see how many Pride flags she could draw, and then after she got as many as she could remember she would strong them together and hang them up!
First she started with the one she knew by heart. The Rainbow one, Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Purple.
At the base she wrote 'happy pride month!'
The next one she did was the Bi flag. Using the colours from before she made another, and strung it beside the first flag she had made.
And then came the Pan Flag, Pink Yellow blue.
The Polysexual Flag; Pink Green Blue.
She paused trying to think of other flags. The Asexual flag was one that popped up in her mind.
Black, Gray, white, purple.
She then strung all the flags together and looked at them. No they were not perfect, but that's ok.
And no they were not all there, but the ones she knew where there. Maybe when she had researched a little more she would be able to do them all.
Now that she had done what she wanted Clair made for her leave.Reducio
