He was curious when he read the announcement. But as he made his way towards the Lake he is both curious and slightly worried that a bonfire that big might spiral out of control. To the delight of some perhaps, but not for him.

He arrived at the site to see their Quidditch Captain in a dress. "Hello Captain. You look... nice." Well she looked different. But he figured nice would hopefully be received better. And she was standing by the stage. This brought a smile to the Ravenclaw boy "Are you going to be presenting something Captain?" Maybe thats why she looked nice.

His eyes trailed next to the lad he remembered from the train to Hogwarts. Which is a good thing because thats the one clue that got him to remember what his name was "Hello Treyen." he greeted the Head Boy. Then his eyes shifted to another girl-- the Hufflepuff Girl Prefect, which he figured given her badge.

Then his attention was taken by that bonfire that wont be ignored. And the table full for campfire fare. A bonfire party. Well he wasnt much for parties, but he does find it enjoyable sitting around the bonfire and stargazing....

... if only there were stars to be enjoyed that night.


His name was said, which was what got him to look at whoever had called him. Oh, he knew the boy! Only he couldn't recall his name! He could blame Julien for this, after all, didn't the one Ravenclaw's last name was the same as the other's first name?

"Hey, Vincenzo." VICKERS, correct? He was playing it safe by saying Julien's last name. Also, a smile was given as he stepped away from the bonfire.

As she neared the bonfire, she delighted in the sudden warmth and took a seat on the ground near it, dragging a blanket around her and warming her freezing hands over the fire.

Glenn saw the head boy and smiled cheekily, "Oi Treyen-Mr-Head-boy!" She waved to get his attention, "Want a butterbeer?" She had a couple in her bag to share around, along with the sweets that she had not yet eaten as well.


That was the name that stuck. He was only glad it wasn't something bad.

Another smile was spared for Glenn as he kept on walking towards a wooden log near the corner of the stage. "Save me one for later." Not right now, he was busy with two marshmallows and...he didn't feel like drinking anything at the moment.

Julien looked to his left. Then he looked to his right. No one was watching.

Being the greedy sneak that he was, Julien picked up the entire bowl of marshmallows and walked away. Be smooth. Don't act suspicious. Walk. Keep walking. Almost away...

When she reached the place, the first thing young Sky did was walk over to the table of food and check for the marshmallows. There were none! What the… "There's no marshmallows?!" she exclaimed to anyone within hearing distance, her jaw dropping in shock. What were they supposed to roast over the fire?!
WE SAW YOU, JULIEN! And we frown upon you...not really, he could take the bowl for himself. There was more. Somewhere in the table. It was there. The elves will keep it well provided.

Since the table was close to where he sat..., "No, look there's more over there." Mmmhmm, he was seeing them, so, she was free to take a few of those, put them on a stick and roast them if she wished...or eat them as they were, like he did.

Okay, the Head Boy was free to sit on the log now, he was no longer missing the Head Girl he needed, but he won't sit just yet. He gave one final look around, you know, because they were close to the Forbidden Forest and no one wanted any surprises coming out of there, right? But...decided to started as he noticed everything was fine.

Except for the lack of stars in the sky. The black sky that was reserved for tonight, apparently.

Treyen was now looking at the students sitting in front of him as he stood by the corner of the stage, he wasn't in costume, no, he was silly and was wearing his school uniform, minus the robes, the bonfire was keeping him warm enough, "First, I'd like to welcome you to the grounds tonight." Yeah, they were all welcomed and whatnot. They were also free to stay close to the bonfire if they were extra cold, it won't get out of control. Promised.

"Second, I'm pretty sure some of you must have guessed that this isn't just a bonfire...," NO, this was a BOOfire, which was very different, "...there's a bonfire, yes, but we, the Prefects, will be telling you a story." THAT was the difference from Hogwarts' usual bonfires. Which weren't as usual to begin with, they just got lucky this term.

NOW he was free to take a sit, and as he did so you may have noticed how he flicked his wand towards the bonfire, you may have not, that's irrelevant, what IS irrelevant is that the light coming out of the bonfire was dimmed, a lot, yet the heat emanating from it was still the same.

"Everyone talks about what happens after Hogwarts was founded, no? But...how about before? Did something even happen at this same spot we're all hanging out? Over a thousand years ago? Perhaps not...yet it did, though we cannot be sure if it was the same spot or not...but, something did happen before the founders of our school managed to get their hands on this earthly paradise."

Some pre-founders thing, considering they were on an anniversary and stuff, "Now, some of you may or may not have heard about this story of two spirits that seek revenge on the school...well, we know the truth, and you will too, after we're done telling the story, of course." Did he have people's attention now? Because the torches on the stage suddenly lit up...revealing nothing but some misty fog around the stage.


Yes, ghost story.

OOC: Pay close attention to the Prefects from now on. And...don't worry, we'll make sure nothing happens to the audience, meaning YOU. ^^ Also, keep in mind that we have TIME ZONES, so what may have seemed like hours in real life, it may have happened within seconds in the RP.

OOC2: The bits in BLACK will always be parts of the story we'll be telling, or associated with it.
