"Better than real food?" Charlie raised her eyebrow. This treat was amazing. It seemed to have some kind of cream in it. She finished it off relatively fast. She whizzed a few more from the table and happily nommed on the lot. "These are really good!"

Feeling absolutely ridiculous in his custome that his father had send him a few days ago, Hyun walked towards the tables with swift steps. It had taken him 2 hours to figure out how to dress the costume. Hyun sat down on one of the chairs near an empty table and looked around. He sighed when he noticed how people were talking and laughing with each other. Adjusting his costume a bit, Hyun's eyes went towards the menu and he smirked. Hmm maybe it's not a bad thing..this High tea party.

She smiled at him. "No real tights...what a disappointment..." she said with a little giggle trying to imagine the real Robin Hood wearing tights..."It's okay I picture Robin Hood without the tights in real life...you know more like the later Robin Hood movies portrayed him in the muggle world..." she said with a little nod up and down.

Satine couldn't control her laughter as the Head Boy thought it through and decided he was completely okay with the trade. As she reached up for her headpiece figuring he was just testing her to see if she would actually go for it...She picked something out of the right side of her hair and held it up.."Okay, but you have to use bobby pins or it will fall off..." she said through her now giggles. She pulled out three other little metal things and slowly took her headpiece off...she really didn't even care if it ruined her hair...this was going to be so worth it. She held it up to him with a little cock of her to the side.

Selena nodded. "Y'know, real food," she said as she pointed at the food that Charlie had. Hulllo? Where was she from? Real food was the stuff she was eating. Duuuh. She continued to eat her own plate of sugary goodness. "They are, that's why they're not real food," she said again. She bent down to do eeney miney moe and once again, the stupid crown slipped. Selena scowled and pushed it back up. "I haven't seen you around Hogwarts before?" she said awkwardly.

Charlie nodded, "Ah. Real food. Okay." She watched as the too big crown slipped down her head, and Selena played eeney miney moe. "That's because I just transferred here last week. I moved out here form the States." This girl was curious but seemed nice enough.

She watched the Groundskeeper and heard Hectate greeting him...almost. And Maya waited for the name to be said...but it didn't come up. Unless you counted 'Mister Boxer'. Hehehe.


Aw, "Thankyou. Never thought I'd wear one of these." Seriously. "I like your costume. Red is a nice color on you."

Rawr.
Maya gave Hectate a smile while trying not to poke someone's eye with her feathers.

"Good evening, Professor," Kimber answered back, inclining her head. "I didn't recognize you at first glance."
French, huh? For some reason that didn't sound like a compliment. She brushed away a few tendrils of hair that had fallen across her cheek and gave Hecate a smile. "Your costume is lovely, Hecate. It suits you."

Selena nodded. Gosh, this old person was slow. She was kinda like tall person. Perhaps her brain was decaying too? Eh... best not to mention it. Hehehe. "That's cool, which part?" Selena asked. Because it was a biiiiig world after all.

Kurumi giggled. She wished that her brothers had been able to teach her how to play. Seeing as her mother refused to allow anything magical into the home, that wasn't possible though. At least they had taught her how to play kendo - and she was good enough that she could beat any of them any day of the week. "I'd like that," she smiled at Simon's offer. "Enjoy the party!" she called as Simon walked off.

Kurumi nodded. "Yes, until I received my letter from Hogwarts that is." The positive and excitied energy she had been bursting with moments ago was fading a bit. Zander wasn't to blame, she always became like this when she thought back to her days of being in that school and all the terrible things that had been done to her. "My mother is one," she said in reference to the m term that he had said. "My father is a pureblood, but I was raised in a non-magical environment."

Looking around a bit, Kurumi noticed that several of the professors had arrived at the tables. Not wanting to be rude, especially since some of them were standing close enough to potentially get whacked by her dress, Kurumi bowed to each of them. "Good day Madam Donovan, Mr. Stryker, Professor Saylen, Professor Lafay."

Just then, Walnut appeared out from under the table still trying to eat the feather coming out of his hat. Giggling softly, Kurumi scooped the cat up and held him in her arms. "You are doing a fine job as my escort," she smiled scartching him behind the ears.

Unrecognizable? Well that was quite good now, wasn't it? What could Maya reply? 'Thankyou'? or perhaps, 'I couldn't say the same for you' (Eh)? How about, 'Oh, that was amusing'. Errr. "I like your hat." Yeah, head accessories were the coolness.

Ah, another student. "Good evening, Miss Hollingberry." She smiled a little and later noticed Walnut. "I see you are being accompanied by Walnut this evening." Who wouldn't notice it - it was wearing a cape!

Annie couldn't believe herself. Again, she was wearing a dress, a nice looking dress, and she was attending the Prefects' High Tea Party. Seriously, for these kind of events, she would have loved to have her boyfriend aside, but her luck didn't let such thing happen. Instead, she was there, alone and waiting to see an empty table to sit by.

A sigh followed, when she finally found one and looked at the menu to choose from. She wasn't too hungry, but she wasn't either planning to eat something for dinner, so...maybe she'd go down to the table and get something. When she stopped thinking about food, she started to look around for familiar faces. So far, maybe a couple of sixth years she met at classes, and some other youngsters.

The school was huge, so the population...

"California," Charlie got the distinct feeling that she was being judged by this. . .eccentric girl. "Have you ever been to the states?" Not many people she had met so far had ever been.

Sitting in his position on the Prefects table, Patroclus couldn't help but wince at the churning feeling in the pit of his stomach. He had never felt this nervous, not even before his first Quidditch game, and the nerves he had than had been crazy.

Smiling politely and waving to students as they past, expressing his like of peoples costumes, the LionBoy's head keep looking over to the open of the marque.

Look......nothing.
Look again........nothing.
And again..........still nothing

The same nagging feeling kept repeating over and over in his stomach, What if she wasn't coming, or worse what if she was coming with someone else. He should have asked her in person, the package had been a stupid idea, but he had wanted to be all mysterious and romantic and stuff.

Look.....nothing
Look again.......GOLD!

A glint of gold caught his eye, the glint of a perfect looking copy of the same badge he wore. She had come, and in the dress.

Moving through the crowd like a ghost, the boy had eyes for no one but her, arriving at her side, of course by the chocolate, he went to speak but all that came out was "Destiny?"

She shrugged, as far as she was concerned a color was a color... it was interesting that they both thought of the same one.

"Yours certainly suits you as well." She said and smiled. The woman still loved her dead husband...

She nodded to the child and said "Hello Miss Hollingberry."

Selena thought hard as she tried to remember which side California was on. Eh. It was that really warm place. She was pretty sure of it. Then again, Selena had never been one for maps and geography. "That's cool... it has... uhm... palm trees there, right?" she asked, struggling to remember. Eh. She gave up, Whatever.

Selena thought about it again. "I think so..." she said. Hmm... she couldn't seem to remember. whatever.

Kellen eyed the metal thing with suspicion, part of his brain wondering what his mouth had gotten him into and wondering if he could back out. That part of his brain wasn't listened to, "You're going to have to help me put it on, I think. I have no idea how these pins work."

He doffed his hat, setting it on the table and leaned forward a little so Satine could reach without having to stretch. It was like playing dress-up with his sisters, only he trusted she wouldn't brutally stab him with the metal hair doodads.

What was he thinking of course she went to a muggle school before Hogwarts , the all did ! he smaked his palm against his forehead " of course , we all went to muggle schools before Hogwarts ... sorry i was thinking straight " he said with a slight chuckle, it was then that he noticed her face had dropped slighltly, had he said something ? it was then that she turned to greet the professors, Zander meanwhile took another swig from his bottle, he smiled in the professors directions.

She turned towards him slightly as he sat down and leaned over in her chair. "What?!" she demanded in whispered quietness, touching her hat to make sure it was on straight. Was it her hair?!

"Did I say anything," Chad asked, continuing to grin as he was clearly amused. "You make it sound like a man is not allowed to smile at anyone, anymore." Shame.

"Hello, Mademoiselle Saylen," he replied, leaning back a bit to take in her costume. "You look wonderful this evening, Mademoiselle," he added in a sincere manner.

...

She hated when people spoke languages she didn't understand... didn't Maya know the potion mistress didn't speak French?

Wait...

Stryker!

Riiiight.

"Mister Stryker, my apologies."

Chad raised an eyebrow as Hecate called him 'Mister Boxer'. Really? It was mid term and she still hadn't bothered to make an effort to remember his name? Fine.

Chad decided to not respond what so ever, sighing, and turning his attention back to Kimber and Maya. People who actually did seem to care about him.

See? Even the students knew his name.

"Bonjour, Mademoiselle Hollingberry," he replied, with a respectful bow of his head in return. "You look wonderful this evening. As does your escort."

Kyle Manning walked over to the smaller tables, sighing she was alone at a costume party - and she didn't exactly know anyone all that well besides Rex. And she hadn't seen him yet. She took a small brownie and took a bit of it - it was sinfully delicious.

She took a seat at a seemingly now abandoned table, and watched as people mingled, made friends, found they loved people more than they had ever let on. She bit her lip, nervously. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to come here after all.

That was when she heard Selena and this American girl, and courageously walked over.

"Hi, I'm Skyler," She smiled. "Call me Kyle though - middle name...easier," she laughed nervously. "I couldn't help hearing you were from California - I'm actually originally from Vermont its in the New England area...haven't been there in ages though."

It was easier said than done to arrive at the chocolate unnoticed. There were too many people and all the females she had passed just so happened to have extremely long dresses and she might have stepped on one or ten of them. She quietly voiced her apologies, trying her hardest not to make eye contact.

Any one of those girls could have been that other Destiny Shepard and she at least wanted to make it back to the castle before she had to take the dress off.

And of course, she wanted to get that chocolate, too.

Once at the table, she wished she would have brought some type of bag with her. But, not having any idea what she was wearing, she couldn't possibly find a bag to match. Glancing around for one of her She-Snake friends, because one of them HAD to have a bag, or just extra hands, she jumped when she heard her name, and turning around, she came face to face with Patroclus.

With her heart beating just a tad bit faster, because he SCARED her, she picked up one of the brownies and handed it to him. "Patroclus! Help me carry some of these. I gotta go hide."

"Walnut insisted that he come along," she smiled as the cat continued to play with the feather in his hat. "I think he as grown to like dressing up in costumes now. He still likes his frog costume from class."

Who knew that the power of a spray bottle could bring her and her cat so close together that they would wear costumes together?!

Kurumi bowed her head again to the Potions Mistress. See! She could address the woman and not stutter! She was making progress although she still feared that the woman was going to turn her into a newt...

"No no no no no need to hit yourself over it!" Kurumi blushed. She had said stranger things in the presence of new people. When she had met Josh, she had almost forgotten the word for chocolate. Not to mention that she actually believe that chocolate frogs were made from real frogs...

"I know a few people who were home schooled before coming to Hogwarts, but they are mostly purebloods," Kurumi explained hoping to make Zander feel better. "There are even a few students who transfered her from regular schools." At least, she thought there were a few of them.


Kurumi hadn't been expecting that Mademoiselle to be attached to her name, and she turned the color of a ripe strawberry in her surprise. "T-T-Thank you," she mumbled bowing again. Walnut almost appeared to be tipping his hat towards the man, but, alas, he was merely playing with that darn feather again.

The Mexicana was slightly occupied by looking at the Groundskeeper and his elaborate costume to hear what Hectate had said. She was somewhat amused, to say the least.

First sincere compliment of the evening - the only one even, perhaps. "Thankyou, Mister Stryker." She smiled an actual smile and not one of those smirks she gives students. Hehe. So, enlighten her, because English History and her... "What English Historic person did you get your inspiration from?"

Oh, he insisted. Hehe. It didn't have anything to do that Kurimi might've threatened to spray him with water again? Hehehe. She wasn't going to ask. "That is...good." Or not, depending on how you looked at things. And you were a cat who didn't like costumes. ""Well you two look nice. She gave her a smile. No, no weird smirk.


Hm, it was getting a tad crowded here...
Loooking towards the Crazy Cups on Ice, Maya decided she'd take a walk there soon. Or maybe annoy some students over on the other side of these tables. Hm hm hm.

With a pretty lady the eyes were surely to be turned at them as they entered the party at last together. With his peasant clothes and fork, the Slytherin prefect smiled at the faces he recognised before looking back at his date friend again.

"Where would you like to sit, madame?" he asked, trying to be as elegant as possible. With his stomach still on fire, he just hoped it would settle down, and he wouldn't mess up in the mean time.

Satine couldn't help but giggle at Kellen's face as she went along with his threat to wear it...all she could figure is that he had pegged her as a girly girl that would never mess up her hair...but nope wrong...she was so in on this.

She stood up behind him and placed the metal butterfly crown over his head. It was surprisingly a perfect fit..either she had a big head or he had a small one...surely it was his head...she thought with a smile.

She grabbed the first two bobby pins and positioned them into his short hair. The metal headpiece sagged on his head.

Through giggles she said, "Well you look just marvelous darling just marvelous..." she cocked her head to the side and then placed the last two bobby pins which tightened up the headpiece a little bit.

She grabbed her purple bag and reached inside for a little mirror holding it out to him, "Well, what do you think...I think it suits you perfect...." she said stepping back and curtsying towards him as if he was a princess.

Someone was being touchy... He couldn't even be bothered with her could he... She had even apologized.

She had no need for touchy people.

None whatsoever.

So she turned herself to face in the opposite direction.

Prat.
