Come one, come all
To the Masquerade Ball.
A night full of mystery
Dancing and history.
'But why' do you ask
'Do I want to hide my face behind a mask?'
Why the sheer enjoyment of a disguise
To hide everything but the eyes.
To conceal your identity
For a long Winter's night serenity.

It is the seventh year of our dear Marauders, Sirius, James, Remus and Peter and yet, they are still up to no good as they strut around the grounds of Hogwarts with their usual tricks of pranks and snickers but now the fun has begun. Bets are to be made, emotions will run high, pranks will always happen, and yes...McGonagall will always catch them.

The Bet: A Date for the Masquerade Ball
The Looser: Has to dance a slow dance with Snape, with a mask on of course
The Winners: Laugh and point while the looser dances with Snape

The Questions:

• What if Lily Finds out?

• Will Sirius be able to date ONE girl for an evening?
• Can Peter stay out of trouble?
• Can Remus cough up a hairball?

omg! I'm so excited!!!! Lil's is my soul mate! This is going to be sooo fun! I hope its ok that I posted in here. haha!

yaaaayyy! it's finally up!

okay, here's my charrie's bio. I'll probably edit this with more info and a piccie.

Name: Julia Lisette
Heritage: Pureblood
Year: 7th
House: Gryffindor
Age: 17 [well, yeah, it is their 7th year. xD]
Background: Julia comes from one of the few remaining pureblood wizards. She has two sisters and no brother which meant no one else was to carry the Lisette family name.

Julia has known James Potter since she was four. Pureblood families tend to know each other very well. Even though James was already quite the troublemaker at a very young age, Julia still liked playing with him more than the other pureblood children her parents made her bond with. The others were too stuck up, James was troublesome but at least he wasn't full of himself...well, not very much at least.

Julia is very secretive. Sure, there are times when she speaks out her mind, but her deepest, darkest secrets are hidden under that fiery red head of hers. Her green eyes are usually soft but would turn intense and piercing once she becomes angered. If one has ever seen green flames, those are what hers would look like, when fuming. Her hair color and eye color are very similar to one of her close friends, Lily Evans that people started referring to them as 'the twins' or 'the clones' though they really weren't related to each other. One could tell them apart though, for Julia had red curls sprouting from her head, while Lily had straight hair.

<yeah, I might add more info but I need to talk to some other people first...>

Um.. I'd love to join, but I'm not a SBFC member... Does that matter, or can I still join in? Sorry for posting, but I'm unsure to this fact... and I'd love to join.

I will add you Zyraaaa! *tackles* OH What House will Julia be in?

OMG! To what do I owe the honor for Tori joining us? -clings- You don't have to be a SBFC member there was just a whole shloo of us that wanted to do this so I am saying the SBFC is presenting this RP. hehehe! But that means you can join us *chants so that Tori will join SBFC* just add your character and I will add it to the list above.

OH! And I changed the name too

Just a short bio:

Name: Amy Pearson
Age: 17
House: Gryffindor
Appearance: Amy is very petite, standing at a mere 5’ 5”, with curly blonde hair and green eyes.

Personality: Don’t let her height fool you. She may be small, but she’s quite strong thanks to her active exercising and athletics. She won’t hesitate to get in someone’s face if she doesn’t like what’s being said, is quite stubborn, and at times has a trigger hair temper. Despite this, she also has a compassionate side when faced with those in need. She can’t stand people who are stuck-up, but is intrigued by those who show leadership skills. She makes friends easily. She enjoys biking, dancing, badminton, basically anything to do with athletics. She also enjoys reading

Miscellaneous: Remus' girl and Gryffindor prefect

Tee Hee.

Yahoooooooo!!!

I might bring in Fay at some point, i dont remember her last name for the life of me. But, nothing biggie - only if i can get a chance

Teehee. I actually feel immensly special.



Statistics
**Characters full name: Blair Sileas Hope
Character name meaning: Plain Heaven Hop
Characters nickname(s): Air, Hope, Silia
**Gender: Female
**Date of Birth: Febuary 17
**Age: 17
Place of Birth: Edinburgh, Scotland
**Blood-type: Mostly Pure, although a few generations back there was aMud-blood servant used to produce an Heir.
**House Loyalties: Slytherin
**Year: 7th


Physical Traits
Character height: 5’6
Character build: Although Blair does not have a very large bone structure, she does not have a very petit structure either. She is a healthy size ten, and loves to eat food and do exercise.
**Character hair type, attributes & anything of note: Her hair is thick, and falls mid-way down her back. It is naturally straight and is only slightly wavy if she uses charms to dry her hair instead of letting it naturally dry. Although she has had it many colours, at the moment it is a dark ebony brown.
**Character eye colour & anything of note: Blair’s eyes are a startling shade of brown, often clear enough to make it look like you could see right through them into her soul.
**Character distinguishing marks: Five piercings grace her ears, two lobes and one tragis, while she managed to get her tongue pierced and healed in the same day by a romanian gypsy.


Personality and Character
** Character personality, strengths & weaknesses: Blair loves to succeed, and in her eyes giving anything less than 100% to any project is equal to suicide. Because of this, she works hard in School and has the brilliant grades to prove it. However, it can often leave her tired, crabby and irritable if she has been working hard to finish an assignment and she doesn’t get the quiet or the time to do it.
In saying this, she is generally a nice person; once you get to know her... and getting to know her isn’t easy. It takes time, and effort on everyone’s behalf but hers. Unless she has a reason to get to know you, or she thinks you have something that she needs, and if you do, then watch out because she will be there, trying to steal it from you.
Unique character traits: Like many pure-blooded children, Blair was brought up trying to be the best she could be, and then some. As such, she was given dancing lessons, music lessons and singing lessons. This has meant that she can dance Latin, Ballroom and Ballet; sight-read anything asked, and play Piano and the Viola excellently.
Character spoken languages: English (main language), some French and Gaelic

Family, Past & Present
**Family, Parents & Siblings: Andreas Hope, is the Managing Director of a third-generation owned wizarding wand shop. Although no match for Ollivanders in London, Hopeful Wands Ltd, have a large Scottish clientelle base. Marillyn Hope owns a small up-scale boutique that owns gowns of every womans dreams. Although all are very expensive, designer and gorgeous, Blair is (un)lucky enough to get to pick own for every major Clan event, and holiday that has been invented.
Blair’s older sister Bonita, 21, has just started her final year at the University of Advanced Magics, in the Highlands. Blair and her sister get on greatly, however, many assume this to be because they only ever see each other over holidays, when they want to see each other and have over four months gossip to catch up on.
**Biography: The Hope clan, have long been established in the Scottish history, dating back to the 15 century. However, then it was the Clan Hops. Many, agreed this was changed because of the teasing and tormenting the clan members received about their fasination with “Barley Hops Whisky”.
Now, scattered over Scotland, the hopes still meet up once a year for a Gathering, and a “merry time.”

Living accommodation: When Blair’s not studying at Howarts, her parents own a four-story townhouse a fifteen minute walk from the centre of Edinburgh. Her older sister and her, share the basement which has been done up into a two-bedroomed apartment.

More infos. will come later.*nods*

Rhea, I think it's a new plot but the situation is kinda the same like last time (relationships and all). And maybe Fay's last name is in the other RP, Mischief Managed? It's in the Finished section.

Matt, I didn't designate anyone as Sirius' official (or unofficial) girlfriend. So yeah.

Awesome! Its easier that way WHeee! I looked into mischeif managed and that's all I found:
Mamushkaleontti: Fay (Gryf -3rd yr)

It looks like i never gave her a last name maybe that's why i don't remember it *Rhea moment* .. Okay i'll just give her a random last name lol, um i'll go with ... Fay Tobii.

So when are we starting? *itching* lol

kayk..;] I'm gonna edit and change the lines a bit. But beware of the drama queen!

Not that I am chatting in the thread or anything but I wanted to put this out there and say that we still need someone to play Snape and someone to play McGonagall (although I will take her if no one wants to play) Plus I have not heard anything from Emily either. If anyone sees her pop up on MSN, tell her! I'm advertising at the moment.

James: He is a thorn in my side already

I will play Mickey Gee as Peter once said since I love her anyways. I always want to see if there is anyone who wants to play her before me but now...

IT IS TIME!!!

***********************************

James stood in front of the mirror adjusting his tie but it seemed to be sideways and now he couldn't fix it. His nerves were showing and he more than hated the fact that he was wearing his feelings on his sleeves at the moment. "Will someone help me with this tie before I-I-rip it off and don't wear one?" Of course taking him seriously at the moment was beyond the help of anyone as his mask was on his face.

A 'black' bat.

He was dressed in nothing but black. Black mask with bat wings of course, dark (almost black) hair, black rimmed glasses, black cape, black shirt, black tie, black vest, black jacket and pants and of course black socks and shoes. "Do you think I can go a different route and leave the top unbuttoned and go without a tie? The girls might like it you know..." he said as he took the tie off and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt.

It was at that moment that he took his hands and lifted the collar to make himself look cool, or so he thought. With a wink of his eye in the mirror to himself, he stood in a perfect stance and pointed his fingers to the person in the mirror. Himself. "Yeah, baby!"

You still need someone to play Snape?! I'll take him! *has always wanted to play the part of the bad good guy* / get picked on by four troublemakers marauders.

*waits for confirmation before beginning* =)

My name is not yet up in the first post.... *cries*

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Aw..nooo...Sirius.." Thud!!! Gladys was on the floor. She blinked twice before felt the pain on her elbows. Great! She was dreaming about him..as usual. "Why it was not real??!!" she sighed and banged her head on hands as she was still face down on teh floor. Crap, crap!! It was still dark..no hint of sun or daylight.

Glayds threw herself on the bed again, head down on her pillow, trying to go the sleep but she couldn't. After about thirty minutes, she sat upright on the bed. There was a certain someone on my mind and they were making it very hard to sleep, she said to her. Once she convinced with herself, she put the cloak on, watching other girls sleeping, she sneaked through the portrait hole towards..the boys dorm. How dare! Haha.. a true Slytherin! I'm coming Mr. Black..her steps were carefull, very much like a cat oh yeah not like a snake, without a single noise. She had no wish to encounter with Peeves.


Rhea: Bebe, edit yourself in, i did *hugz*

Being a Hope, Blair had plenty of dresses. However, most of them were for proper Clan gatherings or a distant-cousins-three-times-removed's wedding. She couldn't seem to find the perfect dress, yet she wasn't bothered. She had the money and she had already contacted the dress designer that her mother used in Italy. She knew that with the specifications she'd written down, Signora De Luca would be able to fashion her a show-stopping creation. Smirking, Blair spent the next three hours doing homework, and wondering where Gladys had wondered off to.

"I'd say.. uh" Remus pondered thoughtfully then shook his head, "I'm not sure. I'd always pick button up. Then again, i wear a wolf mask" he waved the mask in the air wondering which one of them was behind that furry little joke. Going to the dance dressed as a werewolf, what a dilemma, at least it wasn't a full moon night. GUH!

"I better hurry, got to do rounds before everyone comes down. Don't take long okay?" he shiftily peaked from the mask to the boys and back, wore it and headed out. "Straight to the hall!" he warned.

With a quiet giggle at the sight of herself in the mirror, Amy turned slowly, eyeing all aspects of the outfit. Hmm. Perhaps...With a tap of her wand, a heavy looking gold necklace floated in front of her. Taking it in hand, she slipped it on and stepped back to admire the effect. Perfect. Grinning now, she slipped off the outfit for the moment and placed her school robes back on.

Stepping out of the dorm room, she called a 'be right back' to Tess who was around..somewhere.

Strolling out into the common room, she caught sight of someone leaving the boy's dormitory. Recognizing the build, Amy ran up behind him on tip-toe. "Mind if I join you?"

Remus debated taking of the mask, really the inside joke wasn't silly at all. It was making him a lot more uncomfortable than comfortable. He was too immersed with his internal quarrel that Amy's voice ran him straight through a night stand. "Oh" he gasped bending forward to catch the stand with both hands before it crashes. "Sorry Amy, didn't hear you coming" he rambled before clearing his throat, "not at all. Why haven't you dressed yet?" eying her school robes, his eyes rounded slightly with hope that prefects were excluded from dressing up. BINGO!

McGonagall made her way down the hallway in a hurry. She still needed her dress robes and she was not finished with her rounds of making sure things were in place. That's when she spotted Amy and Remus.

"Mr. Lupin and Ms. Pearso-Oh dear," she said as she placed her hands to her mouth. "Ms. Pearson are you planning on wearing your school robes to the dance?" She waited a few seconds but her time was ticking and she couldn't wait any longer.

"Nevermind with that...I need you both to make it to the dance early enough so that you can keep an eye on the children. I'm not expecting any hocus pocus but just in case, I want my Gryffindor Prefects to be top of the list, since I can't seem to find the Head Boy and Girl." She rolled her eyes as James and Lily seemed to be more at each other's throats than paying attention to their duties. It had to be that Mr. Potter and Merlin be with her for placing his name into the pile of Head Boy.
