Partay!

[Chad Aria]

Slytherin had won their last game. Although it had been a really bad game, they had won. It had been a few days and Chad wasn't feeling so angry anymore - more stressed about the exams looming ahead. He knew a lot of people were feeling stressed, but this idea was definitely more for his benefit. Why not have a party? He would meet a few cute girls, he would be able to unwind, maybe catch up with his brother. Mainly to meet some new girls though.
The Slytherin had managed to sweet talk his brother and sister into helping him set up. He knew he couldn't just hand out any old type of advertisement, or the Professors would shut it down. They were so lame. So Chad asked his younger sister Emalia to do some sort of spell to prevent the Professors from reading it. He knew there had to be some sort, and luckily for him, his sister pulled through - though she would never admit it to anyone. He doubted she would come to the party, unless she had some fascination with someone who came. His oh-so-lovely twin, William, had charmed the House Elves to conjure up some delicious food for the party, which was now set up in front of him. He had asked William if he wanted to join the party, but wasn't fussed if he didn't. Will was definitely bound to make a fool out of him, the lovesick fool.
There were some tables set up, a few lights hanging around, and an area cleared out in front of the magical radio for a dance floor. The music was pumping, and Chad was ready to party. As the time ticked closer, Chad hoped people would actually come. How embarrassing would it be if no one showed? Or only a couple of dudes? Lame!

 

[Sage Ottavi]

Sage was glad that Slytherin had managed to win the Quidditch cup. She was happy that they had, though she wasn't exactly into quidditch, she could watch it, but she had no interest or talents when it came to playing it. Not that the teen would even actually try if she was perfectly honest. Her talents were much more suited what she did, she worked for the hogwarts monthly, and suited her fine, she had no real interests in anything else. Other things were fairly dull to her. She could however see herself enjoying the rewards of it. Which was this party that she had heard about. As a third year, Sage realised that this party was possibly not directed at her, though she figured she could pull off looking just slightly older, to maybe not get completely ignored. Which was why, she had dressed, and put on the right amount of make up, that she believed would give her the slightly older look. Sage was hoping that no one would be caught at this party, though she assumed that some snot nosed kid who felt like being that one to ruin the fun would tell. They just shouldn't be allowed to find out.

Entering the forbidden forest, the girl walked until she managed to find it. However, as it turned out, there were not too many folks there when she arrived. Which was sort of annoying, there was nothing worse than an empty party. She walked to the food table, and took a few small bites before grabbing a quick drink. She was smiling to herself as she did so. While it was small, the music so far was pretty good. She took a large drink. She glanced round, hoping that more would eventually turn up, though Sage had few friends, it would be an opportunity to make some. She noticed the guy who had organised the entire thing. "Well done on the game. Nice job here too." She said with a smile, at him. Taking another bite to eat.

[Myuna Kickett]

Myuna had heard of a party in the forbidden forest. She was looking forward to it. she had brought some butter beer back from the last brightstone weekend. it wasn't enough for everyone but more than enough for her, and that was all that mattered, it was sort of custom where she came from that you would take your own drinks and drink them. dressed in dark clothing she slipped out of the forest. she had half discussed with albie to attend together. she wasn't sure if he would come. he wasn't quite as into rebelling as she was but she hoped he did, and they had gone into the forest before, and had a fun water fight.
as she sneaked across the lawn making sure as to stay in the shadows she remembered a part like this one that she had dobbed in. she smiled, she hadn't dobbed them in due to any love of the rules, no the rules were just a convenience, she had dobbed them in as a matter of personal revenge. and the response was certainly worth sucking up to the professors just once. breaking the tree line she headed in the direction of where she thought the part was hoping to see some lights or signs of something. after about five minutes of walking where she had walked into two low branches and cot caught up in three separate bramble patches she finally found where she hoped the party was been held.
"Oh god, it is just for juvies, sorry i didn't get the note." she said jokingly. "I mean i like what you ahve done with the place and either i am early for a party or i just interrupted some sort of extravagant date and should just leave you two to it" she said putting the bottles down under a tree and headed over to the food to pick up a jelly snake. biting its head off she looked at the two people there. and winked. "I joke" she said looking around wondering what people did at start of parties. well she knew what she did, but somehow sneaking out the back with her cousins smuggling out whatever alcohol they could get away with was probably not on the agenda. "do you know who else is coming" she asked curious as to if it really was going to be all juvies or if some other senior students were coming.

 

[Belladonna Metzger]

Belladonna had heard word of a party going on in the Forbidden Forest and had decided that she was going to go. Why someone would want to throw a party in somewhere as creepy as that forest was beside Bella, but she figured if anything were to go wrong, as long as she could outrun another student she'd be fine. Belladonna had even gone and invited Clara to go with her. Clara was by far the shyest of Belladonna's friends, so it took some pestering to convince her that going was a good idea. Belladonna absolutely loved parties, they were always full of so much life. It made her long for the days when her dad would throw parties for the team after they had won a game. Belladonna wanted to have a home like that one day, that was just full of people and excitement. Peering carefully behind a pillar, Belladonna checked to make sure that the coast was clear. The last thing she needed was for a Professor to catch her in the act. She was nothing but a mere first year, so she definitely had no right to be out of bed and wandering around the castle at this hour.

When Belladonna was finally at the edge of the forest, she heard a group of voices chattering away about something. That must have been where the party was! Belladonna entered the clearing and grinned. "Hello!" Already she was awaiting some weird stares, she was a first year and all of these students were much older than she was. So clearly she out of her comfort zone here. Hopefully the older students wouldn't mind Belladonna, and hopefully Clara coming along to hang out. Belladonna knew she could have a fun time so long as someone gave her a chance. If she was lucky, none of the bullies who had been giving her hell would show up either. Belladonna just wanted to enjoy her time at school, and they were making it really hard to do so! ​

 

[Clara Zhefarovich]

Clara felt so nervous she could be sick. The young Hufflepuff had seen the party posters, and had already made up her confused mind that she definitely wasn't going to go when Belladonna asked her to go with her. Clara took some convincing, but someone had actually invited her somewhere - to a party even! How could she say no? But as the blonde quietly tip-toed outside the castle, a nagging thought hit her. What if this was just a prank? What if it was just some set up to get her into trouble? Who would really want to hang out with her? Clara hoped this wasn't true, and it was the hope that kept her from turning back and running to her bed.
Clara had never been to a party before. Her family always held lots, but Clara was too young and wasn't allowed to attend. She never had a birthday party; she never had any friends to invite. How was one supposed to act at a party? Clara tried to focus her mind on keeping calm and collected as she reached the forest edge. How could people expect her to go through the forest? But in the distance, there was some music, and it restored all hope to Clara. She hadn't been tricked, and Belladonna actually wanted to hang out with her! Almost breaking into a run, Clara moved quickly towards the sound of the party, unfortunately tripping on a tree root along the way. Groaning as she fell to the ground, Clara looked around, hoping no one saw her fall. Luckily, no one was there, and she pushed her self up, brushing any dirt off on her clothes. Not so luckily, she failed to notice the small twigs in her hair. Clara reminded herself to keep calm and collected.
Upon entering the clearing, Clara immediately spotted Belladonna and moved towards her. She smiled weakly at the few people that were there, her heart still pumping. Clara hoped Belladonna wouldn't mind her staying by her side throughout the party. There was no way she wanted to do this party thing alone.

 

[Belladonna Metzger]

"Clara! You came!" Belladonna was actually surprised that Clara decided to come to the party. Clara seemed like she was the type of person to always do as she was told, and never break the rules. Not so much a goody goody as she was innocent Belladonna knew that this was against the rules, but since she had been having a rough year when it came to fitting in, she was willing to break or a rule or two. If it meant making some friends, she wouldn't mind what consequence came her way. Belladonna was proud that Clara had come with her, mostly because she felt like getting out would be important for the First years. The better they knew their peers, the more chances they would have to make some friends. "Ha, you'v got some twigs in your hair Clara. But I'm super happy you decided to sneak out and have some fun. Too bad it looks like we're the youngest ones here though." No other first years were probably dumb enough to come out here. Especially the younger Slytherin's. Their head of house was super freaky. Belladonna would probably bee to scared to come out of her common room with him in charge too.

Hopefully more people showed up. Belladonna would love the chance to mingle with more of her peers. Most of the ones here right now intimidated her, since they were all a lot older than she was. Maybe they wouldn't mind two first years crashing their party though? So long as they didn't wreck anything. Belladonna was pretty clumsy, so she knew she would have to try hard to make sure nothing was knocked over or broken by her. ​

 

[Preston Paine]

Preston had heard about a party that had taken place in the forest the previous year, but he hadn't heard details until after the party had taken place. So, when he discovered a flyer on the table in the Slytherin common room, Preston hadn't hesitated to devour the information on it. He'd shared the details with a few friends, but had mostly kept mum. When the night on the flyer had arrived, Preston had gone to his room as normal and closed his eyes for a bit. He'd woken up not too long after, his eyes popping open, filled with the brightness and excitement of a boy who was about to get himself into some trouble. Sneaking out of the common room was difficult but not impossible. The Slytherin boy crept behind a few older Slytherins, figuring he would just sneak in to see how it looked before leaving. The party was meant to be for the older students and he didn't think he'd know many people there anyway.

Preston didn't dare use his wand for light, so he spent a few moments stumbling over rocks and roots as he made his way through the forest. Quickly enough, probably too quickly for it to be a good thing, Preston heard music and used it as his guide to the clearing. Entering behind the older students, Preston simply walked in as if he belonged, though it was clear he didn't. He saw a couple of students say hello to a few others, but none were fourth years. Feeling slightly out of place, Preston sidled his way over to a girl he recognized from his own house, stopping to grab a cupcake before he did. Taking a bite, Preston spoke. "So, did you come to celebrate the quidditch win or for the food?" the boy asked before taking another hearty bite of his cupcake, making it clear what he was here for.
