Thank you, Tailzinator.

Having a birthday party? In need of a meeting room for you and your colleagues? Looking for the perfect spot to host your business' latest meet and greet? Wanting to host a "Back to School" or "End of School" party for you and your friends? Look no further than Florean Fortescue's "Room of Celebration." Located inside the parlor and behind an ordinary looking door located on the left wall, this extraordinarily-decorated room will be just perfect for any of your special occasions!

Similar to the seating arrangements inside the front lobby of the parlor, the seating arrangements in this room also consist of padded, red-leathered booths. The same menus and napkin dispensers can also be found at every table. If you're hosting a birthday party, "Back to School Party," "End of School Party," or anything of the sort, this room will be equipped with a music station and several games for you and your friends to play. If you're hosting a more serious gathering, such as a business meeting or something of that sort, we'll provide tables to accomodate your entire party and decorate accordingly. Any additional requests will have to be discussed with Ms. Avery (Suzypants) prior to your get-together. Ms. Avery does hope you enjoy your time in the Room of Celebration!

Current Celebrations in Room:
None
Room is available for rent.

Current/Future Bookings:
lemondrop13 (OOC dates: April 23 - May 6)
~~Celandine (OOC dates: May 7 - 14)~~

OOC Notes to Remember:
1. In order to rent this room, you must first post in the Ordering Station thread. Only the shopkeeper (Ms. Avery, played by Suzypants) will be able to rent out the room. You'll need to tell Avery who you are (IC) and what you'll need the room for. To allow as many different people as possible to rent out the room, you'll only have three days (real-life days) to use the room. If you'll need to rent it longer, please PM me (Suzy), and we can possibly work something out. When Avery approves your request, I'll (Suzy) post an OOC message to you letting you know which (real-life) dates you'll be able to use this room for your occasion.

2. Only one person may rent this room at a given time. If you see that someone is holding a party or gathering in this room, you'll have to wait until their three-day rental time is up before you'll be allowed in.

3. Although Suzy and Ameh will moderate this room (thread), they will not be able to post Avery or Hiroki serving your party-goers in this thread. You may roleplay as if you were served, but please do not roleplay any actions, words, etc. for the shopkeeper or assistant.

4. Student characters may only rent this room during the time period when students are allowed to post at Diagon Alley. Ministry characters are free to rent at any time.

As soon as she was able to get a small break from running the front counter at Florean Fortescue's, Bella Greingoth opened the door to The Celebration Room and headed inside. She smiled as she took in the manner in which the room was decorated. Outside of the usual padded, red-leathered seats, Bella and Avery had added a large makeshift stage equipped with a podium and a microphone. Miss Reagan Taylor would need to give a speech at some point throughout the ice cream social, so Bella had made sure to provide her with a nice spot to stand and speak.

A stereo system has been made available in case any party-goer wishes to have a little background music as they enjoy their ice cream and work hard to support Miss Taylor. Buckets upon buckets of ice cream (self-serve, please) are spread buffet-style in the middle of the room. A sign hanging above the ice cream indicates which flavors are available. Please enjoy your stay in Florean Fortescue's Room of Celebration!

Andrina cautiously peeked inside the room to the Ice cream social. She saw one person, whom she didn't really know at all. But of course, she didn't really know anyone besides Thomas. Her mind wandered a bit at the name, but came back to reality.. when she saw.. Ice cream!!!She headed straight to the muggle flavors and made her self a mix of Chocolate chip cookie dough and mint Chocolate Chip.. Mmmmm Mint chocolate Chip cookie dough!!! Someone should invent that, they would make millions really they would..

She sighed as she bit into her concoction and looked around.. She hated being early..

**Slytherin Fox** · 04-23-2009, 02:46 AM

Samantha walked into the Celebration Room and immediately saw Bella there, along with a female employee who she didn't know. "Very nice job, Bella, very nice indeed. I know that Reagan will be very pleased," she smiled. She turned to the other woman, smiling again and saying, "Hello, I guess we are the early birds here. I'm sure the others will be along soon, along with Reagan."

Seeing that the ice cream was already being served, Samantha spooned out one small scoop of lemondrop and one of butterbeer and took a seat. She was definitely in the mood for some socializing and couldn't wait to hear Reagan's speech. It was certain to be a good one, she was such an excellent candidate, the best she could think of to run in this election.

*Miss Lissy Lou* · 04-23-2009, 03:41 AM

Ice cream ice cream ice cream! That was the only thought running through Ben Cobblesten's mind as he entered the celebration room in Florean's, grinning at all the preperations Bella had taken to make the place look exciting. "Excellent work Bella! This is going to be a HUGE success!" he assured her, giving her a little tap on the head before heading over to the ice cream buffet. So many choices...he couldn't make up his mind!

LadyNerd · 04-23-2009, 05:02 AM

Madison walked into the little ice cream shop. She hoped she could converse with a few more people but she was not about to press the issue. She was shy, but was always happy to meet a new face no matter who or what they were. When she walked into the room, she smiled at the few people who were a bit earlier than she.

"I will have to make my way to the ice cream counter soon," she smiled, sighing to herself and taking a seat at one of the tables.

*SilverTiger* · 04-23-2009, 06:11 AM

Brenna slipped into the ice cream shop after work, adjusting the silver-gray jacket she was wearing over a deep purple shift dress somewhat nervously as she hoped Gremlok wouldn't find out she was here. At an event supporting Reagan Taylor. She knew her boss supported Cooper, but she had heard some of the things that had come out of Hogwarts after the semi-disasterous term when he and his wife had taken charge there (the advantage to having distant relatives who had attended then), and it had kind of pushed her to support the new blood. She just generally stayed quiet about politics at work, especially when the goblin was around.

Looking around, she realized the only person that was there that she recognized was Bella, and smiled quickly at the owner of Fortescue's before her blue eyes moved around the room again. Fleetingly, she wished Tarot was there, even though she couldn't say she was certain what their situation was at the moment, even months after the incident in the street. But he wasn't here, so once again she was on her own. At least there was ice cream, she thought as she made her way over to the table where it was being served. Taking a scoop of lemondrop and a scoop of strawberry jam, she turned around again, looking for someone to talk to.

Saz Hale · 04-23-2009, 10:30 AM

Stacey-Ann shyly entered the room and looked about and saw a few people about and hoped that she would get friendly with them soon

*Super Spaz* · 04-23-2009, 11:59 AM

Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream. Mmmmm ice cream. Marco bounded into the ice cream place. He wondered which one was Bella. Her owl was nice. The message not the animal. He would need to grab a spoon.

liammoiser · 04-24-2009, 01:04 AM

Liam walked into the room and just stood in a quite corner on his own waiting for everyone to get here, he had got an owl from Bella who he didn't even know saying come here so he had come, he suddenly saw Samantha talking to a woman so decided not to disturb her instead he just stood waiting to be told what was going on. Liam hadn't been in a cheery mood for awhile not since well he couldn't think about it. He looked around to see if there was anyone else he knew but unfortunatly there wasn't.

**aussiegirl** · 04-24-2009, 09:16 AM

Fred shuffled into the ice cream parlour and looked around nervously at the other people already mingling inside. He was a little unsure of why he was even there. Sure he had gotten an invitation along with his cousin Barney but he didn't even know the woman who was holding the party. Of course he wasn't about to turn down ice cream so he headed over to the table and looked at the many flavours laid out before him. Hmm...now where to start?

Tomasina Riddle · 04-24-2009, 11:01 PM

She was actually looking forward to this ice cream social for Reagan. It had been months since she had even been to the Ministry. The twins were doing wonderful and the children were all coming back home from school. She knew Paris would lock herself up in her room for a few weeks, Lucas would be under her foot the whole summer and Willow would be practicing for some play or another. Her babies were growing up, she thought to herself. It felt strange that Paris would be turning 15 and then Willow would be right behind her. Egypt smiled to herself when her and Nathan were in the hospital and she was having Paris. They both were so nervous, and he passed out. Now they were old hands. Well they had to be with 7 children! She giggled at her daydreams and continues on her way to the ice cream shop. It would be the only chance she got to visit before the hordes of students descended on the place for the 3 weeks before the term started back up again.

She walked in and looked around at everyone. She smiled and waved at Ben and Samantha. The ice cream caught her eye and she sidled over to get a bowl full.

**BanaBatGirl** · 04-25-2009, 12:37 AM

Rico wandered into the ice cream/campaign party at the first chance he had to escape the prophet. He had the invitation from Bella in his pocket, so he knew he was in the right place.

And the ice cream, of course, clued him in. He cheerfully wandered over to the large buckets of ice cream, perusing them carefully before making a choice about which flavor he wanted. Treacle Tart or Cookies N Cauldron Cakes? Hmm...

*fire_faerie* · 04-25-2009, 11:35 AM

Jake walked into the ice cream parlor, grinning as the place reminded him of his Rachel. Well, he thought to himself as he walked over to the celebration room, that's not really hard - lately everything I see reminds me of her... Shaking his head, he forced the picture of Rachel in her blue Hogwarts uniform out of his mind and proceeded to enter the gathering.

Smiling as he took in the amount of people, he waved to Samantha and walked over - eying the ice cream tubs as he passed them, almost devouring them with his eyes. "Hello Samantha," he said happily as he reached her, sitting down beside her. "How are you? Lovely place, isn't it? And quite a few people showed up too," he stated with a grin, looking around the room as he tried to keep his eyes off the ice cream. Later Jake, later...

*Becky* · 04-25-2009, 01:46 PM

Becca pushed herself off the wall, walking out of the dark corner she'd been standing in, she nodded and smiled at everyone. She glanced around, trying to find Brian. After 5 minutes she decided that he was either hiding or not there, she sighed to herself and walked around the room. Watching people and listening to bits of their conversations, she glanced at the door.

mathi · 04-25-2009, 01:54 PM

He was bit late, unusually. He rolled up his sleeves as he entered the parlour, knowing that Becca would be there, somewhere around the place, chatting or eating ice-cream. He stood at the entrance, adjusting his eyes for the bit darkness inside the parlor. It didnt take much time to find her. She was looking at the other direction now. He walked towards her, smiling, "Sorry I'm late," he breathed against her skin as he kissed her ear from behind.

Becca sighed and looked away from the door, taking in her surroundings. Then she heard a voice, she jumped "Brian" she breathed relievedly "You scared me" she laughed softly as he kissed her ear "Where were you?" she asked him as she put her hands behind her back and grabbed his hand.

"Awe..sorry again," Brian apologized for startled her. He should be careful with this kind of actions. She was so fragile in some areas. He let his hands rested in hers as she grabbed them. "I was in my office, dozed off slightly," he chuckled at his own behaviour. "Got your ice-cream?" he asked, wondered what she was going to do since she didnt like ice-creams that much.

Becca laughed "It's okay, I like your surprises" she smiled. Rubbing his hand lovingly with her thumb, she stifled the laughter that wanted to come out "Sleeping?" she smiled with the effort of trying not to laugh "Nah, I'm not in the mood for ice-cream today" she shrugged "But... I am here to keep an eye on people like you" she smiled as she pulled his hands around her waist and leant her head on his shoulder.

He noticed that she tried to control his laugh, "Hey, you laughing at me?" he nibbled her arm playfully. And smiled at his own predictions. She was not going to eat ice-creams. "I know you Becs, I was just kidding," he smiled and let her taking his hands around her waist. He pressed his face into her hair as she leant on his shoulder, asking, "Shall we claim our seats?" looking around the place, waves at Ben and noticed Samantha and other assignees for the campaign.

Becca pressed her lips together and nodded "Yeah" she admitted as he nibbled her arm "Hey! Stop eating me! There wont be any of me left" she laughed "I know" she smiled and patted his hands "Yeah, I suppose we should" she nodded as he waved at Ben.

Saz Hale · 04-25-2009, 03:00 PM

Stacey-Ann looked about the room and hoped that somebody would come and chat to her soon

"Why not?" Brian raised his eyebrow, grinning, "Since you're my property, it's legal to eat you fully," he teased and led her to the vacant table. When they were about to sit, he noticed the other woman who was standing there, alone. He turned to Becca, getting permission by his eyes to address the new lady.

"Hello there." Brian called out the lady, gently. "If you dont mind you can join us," he offered genuinely.

Saz Hale · 04-25-2009, 03:14 PM

Stacey-Ann walked over to the man and woman and said "Thanks I am Stacey-Ann"

Becca laughed "Mmm, It is, but I'll be gone" she pouted and then Brian turned to her, Becca nodded and smiled "Hello, Stacey-Ann, I'm Becca" Becca introduced herself "And this" Becca paused and stopped herself from blurting out something that would make Stacey-Ann uncomfortable "Is Brian" she finished as she went pink.
