Chocolates, anyone?

[Preston Paine]

With exams over and only a few days before some students would leave the castle for the holidays, Preston knew it was time to act. Walking nonchalantly with a small package tucked under his arm, Preston was trying to bring a minimal amount of attention to himself as he climbed the steps. He spoke to no one and made sure that he was the only one in the hall as he came to a stop. When the Slytherin was sure he was alone, he quickly knelt down and placed the wrapped parcel right in front of the door to the Heta Omega where it could not be missed. On the package, which was decorated with Christmas trees, was a label that read

To: The members of the Heta Omega

From: ???

Happy Holidays!

Inside, the young women would find a box containing two dozen chocolates. The treats would taste normal and they certainly looked normal, but Preston had been given a guarantee from the shop he had ordered it from that the treats would leave the women with a bitter aftertaste. The treats had been charmed to have some crazy, varied effects on hair, and the effects would be multiplied for those who ate more than one. It had cost Preston and several other Brotherhood members quite a few sickles but he knew that it was money well spent. Let the games begin, he thought to himself as he strolled away, hands in his pocket and a self-satisfied smile on his face. He'd spoken with several of the Brotherhood members about pranking the girls and needed to go warn them that the deed was done.

 

[Ai Nightray]

Ai was glad that in a few days, the semester would be over. That meant that she and Miah would have time all to themselves especially during the Yule Ball which she was particularly looking forward to. And though it was nearing the end of the semester already, Ai found herself to be hanging around the Heta Omega common room since it was a particularly quiet place most of the time and so she frequently did her works there. After all, it as not a bad thing to be there if she was the president right? Not that she had been abusing her power. On this particular day, she was planning to review her NEWTs because of they were a dreaded exam and it was coming in fast and they were really the only thing she was dreading since the Yule Ball or anything else after that were supposedly nothing but bliss. So she headed straight for the seventh floor.

Well, she was quite surprised though to find a parcel in front of the entrance to the common room. It looked like a present really and it was for Christmas. The Head Girl carefully picked it up and inspected it rather carefully and found nothing to be wrong with it. There was also a label and when Ai read it, it was supposed to be for the sorority so she shrugged, said the password, and entered their common room. It was a present to them and maybe the girls would enjoy it or at least know who it was from. "Hey girls!" Ai greeted with a smile before approaching the lot of them and placing the package on the table. "I got this outside. It's a Christmas present for the sorority. Think we should open it?" the girl asked for the other girls' opinion though she really was excited to take a peak.

 

[Marietta Macmillan]

Marietta realized she had not been very active in the Heta Omega Sorority like she wanted to be. She's been too busy with classes and friends that she completely forgot about her membership. So, instead of heading to the library or Student Lounge to study she decided to just study in the common room with the other members, get to know them a bit. Maybe study with a few fellow first years there. She headed up to the Seventh Floor Corridor, approached the room the sorority occupied, and said the password she very much loved.

She sat with a few members for a while, studying and talking, until, the president, Ai Edogawa, entered the room. She greeted them with a smile while holding something. A package or present of sorts? Ai placed it on the table where Marietta could now see it clearer. It was definitely wrapped like a present. Marietta put her study books aside as the Head Girl said it was a Christmas present for the Sorority and asked everyone if they should open it. Marietta answered the question with another question, "Who's it from?" Of course she was curious of the box's contents, but it still never hurt to ask.

 

[Victoria Chase]

Victoria was curled up on the couch inside the Heta Omega common room. The sisterhood was not complete yet - perhaps other members were out doing something else however, Vee was perfectly content simply sitting on the couch and reading a short novel. It was an odd scene to catch Victoria Chase reading a cliche book about the medieval times, where the knight in shining armor was present and so was the damsel in distress. However, Victoria loved it and she thought nothing else could interrupt this smoothly going day. With a blanket and just a book, she thought those simple needs already made her day. She was away from all the boisterous students and giggly whispers which elevated her mood much higher. Vee quietly shifted her legs into a new position and adjusted the blanket that covered her lap, making her pleasantly warm all over.

The door to the common room swung open and in came the Head Girl of Hogwarts, whom Victoria knew very little of personally. She heard the good and bad rumors about her but aside from that, Vee only knew that Ai Edogawa could be a very stubborn individual. Ai carried a package that was wrapped with a Christmas wrapper and Victoria did not jump out of the couch to take a look at it. Instead, she stayed on the couch with the blanket still on her lap and the book still held opened as she surveyed the present from where she was sitting. It looked very normal and not fancy (like Victoria would rather have it to be) but it did appear as if it was a genuine gift for the sisterhood. She cocked her head to the side in question and felt excitement power her energy up slightly. When the Head Girl asked if they should open it, Vee looked at Ai as if the answer was obvious. Someone spoke first though and Vee noticed it was Marietta who she vaguely saw coming in a while ago. "Um, hello? Who cares who it's from? It's a present! Of course we should open it, unless someone here wants to play Mr Scrooge. Or, is someone here too paranoid that when we open it, there'll be fireworks coming out of it?" Victoria addressed the whole crowd and stepped out of the couch and walked towards the table where the present was placed. "Come on, it's Christmas season. We must open it!" Victoria absolutely adored Christmas and everything about it, so why should this be an exception?
​

 

[Aliyah Wright]

Aliyah was so relieved that her exams were over. They were a lot less painful than she thought they would be. She attributed most of her success to her study habits. History of Magic, Astronomy, and Defense Against the Dark Arts were beatings with all the notes and reading, but getting a jump on studying earlier was made the week a lot easier. Having some time to kill the Slytherin decided to leave the dungeons and spend the day chilling in the Heta Omega common room. She wanted to raid some of the old copies of Witch Weekly that were laying around for ideas to for how to style her hair for the Yule Ball. She was still excited to be a part of the sorority although she was still having issues connecting with other girls. However it was still just end of the first term, she still had plenty of time during the next one to meet new people. After amassing a sizable stack of magazines, she made herself comfortable in an armchair in a corner of the room and began to quietly flip through them.

After skimming through a few issues, Aliyah heard a voice asking the group if they should open some package that was left for the sorority. Curious, she peered over the top of her magazine and watched as Ai, the sorority's president and the school's Head Girl, and some other first year she hadn't met but recognized from classes discussed the matter. The young Slytherin rolled her eyes, Hufflepuffs, she still didn't understand how they were beating her house in house points. When another older girl spoke up and added her two cents, the eleven year old's curiosity and impatience won out and she walked over to join the other girls at the table. She took the present in her hands and shook it next to her ear. The contents of the box rattled around noisily, but she still wasn't exactly sure what could be inside. The label attached to it didn't give away clues either. Maybe one of the older girls had a secret admire? Maybe it is some guy's way of asking someone to the Yule Ball. Aliyah looked up at the girl who had just spoke and slid the box across the table toward her. "Well if you are so excited, why don't you open it." If the other girl didn't unwrap the parcel, she hoped somebody else would soon. She really wanted to know what was inside the box.

 

[Rosie Chamberlin]

Rosie ran a brush through her damp brown locks one last time before she took a brief look at the clock situated on the wall of the girls dorm. It was a lot later than she had expected, but there was still plenty of time to go visit the Heta Omega common room before dinner. Rosie was the vice President and that meant that she needed to be there to help Ai whenever needed, so checking up to see if anything needed to be done was an important stop for Rosie before she could relax for the night. It took Rosie only a moment to arrive in the common room, and upon her arrival she noticed a couple of her fellow sister's already inside. Rosie tossed the other girls a demure smile as she kept an eye out for any sign of their president lingering about. "Have any of you seen-" Rosie stopped mid-sentence when Ai entered the common room with a present in hand. Rosie instantly found herself growing both intrigued and suspicious at the same time. Mixed reactions within the room only confirmed to her that no one in the room had left the present, so who could it have been?

"As exciting as opening presents can be, do you really think it wise to open it without knowing who it's from first?" The inner Ravenclaw within Rosie pushed aside the excited little girl that wanted nothing more than to rip open the parcel to get a look inside. Rosie loved presents as much as the next girl, but she also knew that taking something from a stranger wasn't among one of the wisest ideas one could make. "Ai, did you see anyone lingering around when you found the package?" Perhaps the Head Girl had seen someone lingering the hallway when she found the present. That might give an indication as to who could have given it to them, and whether it was safe or not. Rosie gave a tentative glance towards the other girls to see what they thought. A few seemed excited, while others cautious. If they could't figure out who had given it to them, then Rosie would be certain not to volunteer to open it, she didn't like surprises too much.​

 

[Rhiannon Archer]

Although Rhainnon had joined the sisterhood this year she usually spent more time in the club academia common room than in the sorority however as she as finished the exams she had a few days off before the ball, a few days off which was a fairly rare thing for her. after christmas she would have to sit a set of muggle exams but that was after christmas. and she had just finished one set. of them and needed a breather. she had with her a novel and was sort of half reading about four young mages, Triss, sandry, Daja and Briar. it was a little young for her but a good book none the less. the other half of her attention was listening to the conversation adding her own comment every now and then. the conversation was disrupted when Ai came in with a christmas present for the club that had apparently been left outside. the conversation was revolving about if they should open it or not and wondering who had left it. she put the bookmark into the book as Daya was making living metal and put them on the table. as one of the younger girls asked if anyone saw who was there. "there is one way to find out who it is from if they are still hanging around even if they are hiding or invisible" she said heading towards the door. "Hominem Revelio" she said. before heading back inside not really surprised by the result of the spell. "there is no-one out there" she said. "I say open slowly and keep an eye out for bubotubor puss or something. but it is christmas, so opening presents is what people do." she said. for once agreeing with Victoria and the other girls. she did like presents and was always curious.

 

[Belladonna Metzger]

Belladonna didn't spend as much time as she did in the Heta Omega room as she did other places, but that was mostly because she often didn't feel all too comfortable being in a room with a bunch of other females. Not that Belladonna had anything against her sisters, because all of them, sans Pandora, were all really great girls. But Belladonna just wasn't good around a bunch of girls for some reason. It just made her feel uncomfortable when in reality she really wanted to find a girl to call her best friend. Someone to help her with her makeup and giggle with about boys. If only she had the grace to just be able to walk up to someone without looking like a complete idiot due to a combination or her clumsiness and inability to think about things before she said them. Those two traits of her always made it a bit hard to make a good impression with others. "Hey guys." Belladonna greeted boldly, while girls made her nervous, Belladonna wasn't shy by nature and no matter how nervous she was, that was never about to change. Inside she noticed a group of girls gathered around the table and grew curious.

Belladonna approached the table and saw a present sitting on it. "Oooh a present?! Please tell me we get to open this?" Belladonna couldn't contain her excitement once she noticed what it was. What if there was something like candy inside? Candy and good food was one of the reasons Belladonna loved Christmas the most, aside from the cool presents she always got from her dad. "Less talk, more opening ladies! Someone just open it already or I will." Belladonna stated, showing that her impulsive nature was getting the best of her. Trick or not, Belladonna wanted to open that damn present, and if it did turn out to be nothing but a nasty joke she would do everything within her power to take that sorry bastard down. Belladonna didn't think someone would use Christmas a joke to be mean, but then again she was so used to being bullied that revenge was starting to become second nature to her. All in all, she just wanted to get a look at the what was inside the parcel, and if no one else was going to open it herself. ​

 

[Ailsa Vacarius]

Ailsa didn't spend that much time in the heta omega rooms, not at the start of the year anyway, but she was pretty happy to be able to spend some time in it now. Admittedly she was doing it because she was trying to avoid Archie. Since he was just so annoying, and he kept rubbing his stupid little victory with Gryffindor in his face. Ailsa didn't like that, but it meant that she was spending time in a room where a lot of other girls, that she didn't particularly know, hung out. She didn't feel like getting to know them that much either. But at this point Ailsa was tucked away in a corner of the room, with her books in front of her. She wasn't really studying, she had a book on quidditch techniques and all of that. She wasn't too interested in the school subjects, and reading up about quidditch was a lot more fun than this was in any case. But, it was as she was hearing the end of the incredibly interesting book that she noticed that the noise in the room had increased. Ailsa didn't care much about the goings on in the room, but the increased noise made her curious. She got to her feet and looked around. Listening carefully.

It appeared like they'd received a mysterious gift. Ailsa wasn't beyond free things, but she was a little unsure as to why they would be given such a thing. Why would someone leave something specifically for them. If growing up with a brother had taught her anything, it was to not trust what was right in front of her. She took a few steps closer looking at the other girls as they talked about what should be done about this. She wasn't sure. She was as nervous as some other, but she also really wanted to know what it was. She was more curious about what it was than what the negative effects of it may be. Which was why Ailsa decided that she would stay silent in all of this. She didn't want to be the one to make a bad decision and end up with the wrath of the other girl's. She was instead content with the girls tell each other to open. Clearly no one actually wanted to take that final step into ripping the thing apart. It was hopefully a good thing, and not a prank. Ailsa couldn't be bothered with that kind of thing.

[Victoire Fontaine]

Victoire was very excited as of late. Everything to her was just going perfectly for her. It was hard to explain. Sure, she reasoned that at this point her grades could be better. But, aside from that, Victoire was incredibly happy and excited. The way the election were heating up were causing her to really feel those political feelings she generally felt. She'd been brought up more by a nanny who'd help incredibly firm political position that was far more left than her father's had been. Which was why she was currently sat in the Heta Omega with her head deep in a book which was explain the differences between the political left and the political right. She didn't know much about the candidates so far for this election, but she knew at the very least that they were going to be much more difficult to place, but she was looking forward to challenge. So much so, that she'd already planned to be able to listen to the debate. She had to go somewhere with wizards and all that, but she'd already arranged it with her father who was incredibly proud of her interest in the thing that he taught, and had done with his life.

She was disturbed from her thoughts as girls moved and gathered around something. She looked up from her books, suddenly brought back to the room. She was remembering now that she was hardly alone in this room. She was surrounded by other girls, most of whom she didn't really know that well. Victoire listened to what was being said by the various girls who were talking about it. She always remembered that her father told her to never take something from someone if you didn't know where it came from. He had a been a politician, maybe that was why he thought such things over what some of these girls were saying. However, Victoire wanted to go back to reading. "You shouldn't open it, if you do at least be careful, it could be anything" She said, not speaking that loudly, but voicing her concerns over what the product might be, she didn't want something bad to happen, but if it was something good she wanted to be a part of it. Why couldn't people be clearly when they gave things to other people. Why all the secrecy, could people not give a gift without just being nice about it.
​

 

[Sage Ottavi]

Sage had been heading back up from the common room to the Heta Omega room, she had been feeling pretty happy about things. It was almost the end of term, and she was just looking forward to being able to go home and see her dad. Spend some time away from all of this just enjoying herself and having a good time. it would be nice to see some of those boys again. Which she was sure was not meant to be the thing she was thinking off as her OWLs drew closer and closer. She was just looking forward to being able to spend her time doing whatever she pleased without glancing to much of a though back to what was coming. She needed a few things from Heta Omega, mostly that were part of her duties. She didn't spend much time in the room. She was only in there instead of the prefect's room, because she wasn't allowed in the prefect's common room, despite being a perfect. Mostly due to the head girl. Which was another reason why she avoided this room. Because of that stupid head girl and her stupid silent boyfriend that had caused her to lose her wand. She shook her head and focused.

As soon as Sage stepped into the room, she knew there was something going on. There were people gathered around something. Muttering and saying things. It was a gift she gathered that he been left their by someone. Now, Sage didn't like the sound of that. She glanced up at the head girl. Was there a way to get a little bit of revenge, a little bit of payback on this girl. "I think that the head girl, and president of this sisterhood should be the one to open it and try what ever is inside" She spoke clearly and above the noise that others were making. "I mean, she's one of the oldest, and she's in charge, it is up to her to be a role model, she's the best one for this." Sage was sure that the head girl would not back down. If she really wanted to lead, she had to take one for the team as it would seem. Sage didn't want to be the one to, and there were conflicting opinions about it. "I mean it'll be nothing surely. Just someone who appreciates us." she added hoping that others would agree with her, so that it was certain that the head girl would much more likely to do it.
​

 

[Victoria Chase]

When Victoria voiced out her opinion, a lot of other opinions spoke up and this made Victoria impatient. She hated waiting, especially if it was for something she strongly wanted to do. In this case, there were people who were cautious about the mystery gift and all Victoria did was to stare unbelievably at them for the first few seconds before realizing that they did have a point. It was from an anonymous sender and anonymity meant something. Vee chewed on the inside of her cheek as she widely watched the other sisters of the sorority speak up about the gift that was now placed in front of her. Victoria was clearly intrigued about the gift and when Rhiannon reported back that no one was outside, Victoria was not surprised. When Belladona shared the same excitement she previously had, Vee was now torn whether she should be more cautious and or more excited. The gift looked really sweet and its appearance alone enticed her curiosity that she so wanted to fulfill.

Finally when Sage suggested that Ai should be the one to open it, Victoria glanced at Sage and nodded subtly in agreement. Ai was the Head Girl! Why couldn't she do it on her own? Even if Vee wanted to open the gift herself, she was pretty sure it had to be Ai to do the honors. Victoria went directly to the gift and gingerly got it and once she was sure that nothing would spring up in surprise, she shook in a gentle manner. The contents sounded like little figurines or something of that sort and Vee's curiosity was heightened. Turning to face the Head Girl, she went up to her and stretched out her arms to give her the parcel. "You know what, Sage's probably right. You open it first. After all, you're the president." Vee shrugged as her big green eyes matched Ai's eyes. She truly was in favor of Sage's suggestion and it was not like someone out there was plotting a scheme that would hurt them so badly. Well, in case someone did, Victoria was more than ready to scheme back. She secretly loved being devious, even if sort of hurt others. "So? Come on, take it and we'll watch you open it. We've got your back." She offered a weak smile to Ai as she really wanted to get this over with. If something came out unexpectedly, surely Ai could fire back a spell that would blast it apart right? After all, she was the outstanding student here.
​

 

[Prudence Armstead]

Prudence was really enjoying her time at Hogwarts, and the homesickness, while still prominent, had subsided enough for her to focus on the more important things, such as her school work and hanging out with her fellow Heta Omega girls. Prudence, still in her school uniform as it was starting to grow on her, headed to the common room to meet with the other girls. It was really exciting to have meetings, do girl talks, and get help from older students. Of course, not everyone in the Heta Omega sorority was as helpful as Ai, or girls her age; but that didn't mean Prue wasn't enjoying herself.

Prudence said the password and entered the room, to see that there was a large commotion going on. Sage, a girl three years or so her senior, was addressing the group it seemed, and everyone was gathered around Ai, whom held a box in her hand. It looked like chocolates, which was something that Prudence honestly didn't partake in usually. Her family was always healthy. Prue had made the choice to give away her piece of chocolate, if she was offered one. However, now everyone seemed to be waiting for Ai to have one, or at least to open it to see if it was a prank.

 

[Princess Cheney]

Princess was wandering in the seventh floor corridor and wanted to visit the sorority, when she got there all of the girls were in front of the president and they talking about gifts, so she made her way through the crowd and saw a box, she thought that inside it might be chocolates, her favorite of all. "President, please open it, pretty pretty please, I want to see what's inside they might be chocolates or sweets." she said. The whole sorority was fighting about opening it, who's gonna open it, and when are they going to open it.

 

[Aliyah Wright]

Oh my gah...are we seriously still talking about this? Aliyah thought to herself as more Heta Omega members crowded around the mysterious gift. She leaned against the table and tapped her foot impatiently as the discussion about whether or not they should open the present continued. The young American was all about the democratic process and letting everyone's voice be heard, but it was just a freaking Christmas present. Everyone was treating it like it was a bomb that needed to be diffused or something. It was clear no one knew who could have left it and they were getting nowhere in figuring out if it was harmful or not. Finally someone spoke up and said something that actually made sense. Sage suggested that Ai should step up and open up the gift on behalf of the group. Another one of the older sisters, Victoria was it, also spoke and offered the president the present. "Yeah!" the first year echoed in agreement. Between Ai's interview in the Hogwarts Monthly and this situation, it seemed that proactive leadership was not the Head Girl's strong suit. Aliyah watched on intently to see if the contents of the gift would be finally revealed.

 

[Ai Nightray]

Ai couldn't help but roll her eyes at Sage's statements. Of course she would play it that way and Ai had no problems with it. Besides, she only asked the girls if they wanted to know what was inside, she could open it just as much as she could throw it if the girls preferred it. Besides, she was not into the monarchy or dictatorial way of thinking. If anything she frequently goes for democratic, wanting to know who wants to go through with stuff and not go through with it. Well, it had seemed that there were more that preferred to know what was inside rather than be cautious about the whole thing. And besides, Ai was not afraid to go through with this, if it was some sort of scheme, she would make sure that those who were responsible would pay. Of course, she could already make a list in her head of the possibilities but first, she had to make sure first what these were. "Alright, alright. Everybody calm down," she called out to the girls before taking the package and eyeing it while the other girls still seemed to be excited about it. Well at least some were enjoying themselves.

"Settle down, girls," Ai called out again as she carefully unwrapped the package and was quite surprised at what she had found. Well, it was not that it was a very uncommon gift, but rather it was a rather sweet or strange gift to be left for the sorority. "It's chocolate," the Head Girl announced before placing it on the table once again and taking one piece out of the two dozen pieces that were present. Well, she might as well give it a try in front of everybody. At least she'll be first to know if there was something wrong with it. "Well, normal by the looks of it. They look like the ones bought down at the Brightstone Village," she said with a shrug before taking a bite and tasting it carefully. There was nothing wrong with it so it seemed and she had deemed that it was probably just a gift laid out for the sorority girls. "Tastes normal and pretty good too," she said after swallowing the bite she had taken and finishing the last bit of chocolate that she was holding. "You're welcome to try if you want girls."

Note: The effects probably won't show up for a bit, otherwise the rest of the girls might not try it out..

 

[Clara Zhefarovich]

Clara loved being in the Heta Omega common room. It was almost as awesome as the Hufflepuff Common room. It was a place where the blonde could go and just blob, and not have to worry about anything. She had taken in a couple of books with her to study with, but she wasn't sure she would actually get too much done.
Clara looked up at the President as she walked in with a smile. Clara greeted her back pleasantly, surprising herself in realizing how cheerful her voice sounded - she was having an awesome day. The blonde shoved her books aside and jumped up when Ai said that she got a Christmas present for the sorority. Clara definitely thought she should open it, she didn't see why not! She smiled at Victoria's response, rarely feeling this adventurous. She still kept her mouth shut, she didn't want to be held responsible in case there was something wrong with it, but was silently hoping they would decide to open it. Clara didn't know if she could bare the suspense! Clara watched each member as they all discussed whether they should open the box or not. She smiled at Sage's statement that it was someone who appreciated them. That wasn't a thought that would have ever crossed Clara's mind, and she wondered what it would be like to have such a confident mind.
Clara watched as Ai opened the wrapping, excitement and nerves bubbling up in her stomach. She was glad they had decided to open it. The blonde sighed a sigh of relief as Ai deemed it chocolate and okay. She watched as Ai took a bite, and grinned when nothing happened. It was just someone who appreciated them. Feeling happy and unable to resist, Clara slowly moved forward and tried a piece. It tasted nice, and Clara finished the piece, smiling at the girls around her.

 

[Victoria Chase]

When Ai took the package, Vee stepped back and crossed her arms, anticipating the outcome of the package after all. The seconds on the clock ticked longer than ever as Victoria watched Ai unravel what was inside. Eventually the package was bare in front of everyone's eyes and Vee peered to see what was in it. The voice of Ai just confirmed her thoughts. Chocolate. The sender decided to give them chocolates that were probably not even worth 100 galleons. She was not a sweet tooth, but Vee once in a whilst indulged in such things for the pleasure of it. "Of course they'd give us something fattening," Vee muttered under her breath and turned away for the rest of the sorority to go ahead and get chocolates. Most of the time, she made sure that what she ate would not in any way increase her weight or else, she'd freak. Weight gain was something she avoided and her constant watch of her own weight extended to everything she ate. Victoria valued her appearance and any sort of fat that would enter her body would be a no-no.

Where was Dominique when Vee needed her? Her best friend was nowhere to be seen and Dom was notorious for being a sweet tooth. The blonde would love the chocolates! Meanwhile, Victoria was thinking whether or not she'd get. A piece wouldn't exactly give her 1 pound immediately... right? Besides, it truly has been a whilst since the Gryffindor consumed anything fully made of sugar. Vee bit her lip and thought that one would not be harmful to her weight. She could just burn it off passionately anyway! Victoria tentatively went to Ai and got a piece of chocolate from the box. It didn't look like one of those expensive treats she had seen back home, but it appeared to be a labor of sincere hard work. She popped it in her mouth and savored the sweet taste of it on her tongue. It was good and one piece was enough for her. She shrugged and walked back to the couch she was sitting on, to resume what she was doing. The chocolate then went down her throat smoothly and all Vee was occupied about was resuming her reading.

Almost 10 minutes later, Victoria felt funny. It was as if extra hairs were growing out of her scalp and it made her head itch. She wrinkled her nose in disgust - hoping it was not dandruff. Then, the itch finally settled into something like a tingling sensation that made her feel funny. Before she knew it, she felt the strands of her hair puff out like it was going through some sort of frizzy stage in just 5 seconds. The color of it changed as well and it was replaced by a dreadful lighter shade of brown that made her hair look dead. She squeaked in surprise and ran a hand through her now utterly unpleasant locks. "Holy... OH MY GOD!" She shrieked and bit her lip painfully. Her hair was doing things she would never do to it in her lifetime, making her look like a hag. It was not too frizzy, however she knew that she now looked like she didn't comb her hair for a month. It was horrible, not to mention Victoria was freaking out by now.
​

Out of Character:

Hope it's alright that I already roleplayed the effects of the chocolate! I could edit it anyway.

 

[Rhiannon Archer]

Rhiannon zoned out as the conversation flowed if they should open the gift of not she opened her book and kept reading. not really ready for the debate, she was knew it would eventually get opened. a couple of pages later and the head girl unwrapped it opening a box of chocolates. she put the mark back into the book as victoria said it was obvious that they would be given something fattening "One chocolate isn't going to make you loose your figure Vicky." she said rolling her eyes she had not been a big fan of victoria since last christmas. and anyone who was overly concerned with their looks was just annoying to her. "I'll have one" she said taking one of the chocolates from the box. "yum" she said swallowing it. it was a really once chocolate. she wondered who had bought it for them. before going back to her book once again thinking she may have another but she would let the other girls have a first one first.

 

[Aliyah Wright]

Aliyah did her best to stifle a self-satisfied chuckle and cover the smug grin that was beginning to spread across her face as the gift was finally unwrapped. Ha...chocolates! The contents weren't anything bad at all! It was just some chocolates that someone left to probably get on the sorority's good side. The eleven year old was still quite convinced that sender must be some sort of secret admirer. Regardless who actually sent the candies, she hoped that all the other girls who were stressing out over this felt silly for making such a big deal out of nothing. And her parents thought she was dramatic. Using her lack of height to her advantage, she slowly weaved around her sisters and inched her way towards open box as the other girls began grabbing pieces of chocolate. None of them dropped dead or burst into flames, so the treats must have been ok. After all the fuss, the young Slytherin refused to leave the table without having a piece herself and box of chocolates in a room full of girls was not going to last very long. Aliyah removed a chocolate from the box and popped it into her mouth. She savored the taste as she walked back to her arm chair and stack of magazines. It wasn't bad.

Her sweet stash was beginning to run low and she would need to definitely stop by next time. She drew a deep exaggerated sighed as disappeared behind her magazine again.
