Nodding politely at a few party-goers as he made his way onto the ship, Lachlan dug his hands down deeply into his pants pockets, double checking to see if he had it with him. As he neared the table spread out with the various food times, he slowly removed the large potions phial. It was still sealed tightly, filled with a deceptively clear liquid.

Veritaserum.

Casually removing the wax seal, he grinned to himself. This wasn't for spite. He'd gotten to know a few of the Hogwarts natives and thought they were good people, but this was what he did for fun. A long standing prank, if you would. So, carefully reaching out a hand, as if to begin preparing himself a plate, Lachlan stealthily began sprinkling the contents into every bit of food within reach. In such a way that NO ONE saw what had been done. And he continued this as he traveled up and down the long table. Nothing edible had gone unaffected.

Practically impish, Lach snagged the eggnog he'd set aside for himself. Taking a sip, he grinned at his unsuspecting targets.

Go ahead, then. Eat, drink, and be very, very honest.

It wasn't even half as fancy as what most others seemed to be wearing, but at least she hadn't opted for sweatpants, and she'd even cleaned up and didn't have a speck of paint on her.

She'd settled for just tying her hair up though since she'd done it all last minute...which also meant she hadn't eaten in awhile. So quick bite to eat and then head up to the deck to admire the view? Sounded like a good plan.

The fresh fruit and the salad with avocado and sweet potatoes immediately drew her in, so those were the ones that went on her plate. She then briefly noticed Lachlan there by the table as well and offered a smile, oblivious, before moving on to find a table.....

Where did she want to sit? Ohh....maybe she could take her food out onto the deck? Surely she could? That would be a lovely idea...

That said food would need to be digested afterwards and all that was unthinkable.

She HAD no idea why she was so nervous. It was silly. Evan was a friend and he was admittedly cute and this meant nothing other than making sure the other wasn't alone at an event that had mentioned the word 'date.' And the fact that this was her first date to speak of shouldn't have meant a thing.

Except it did and her stomach was paying the consequences. It mattered enough for her to arrange her head into a milkmaid braid, anyway. It had taken forever, too.

She supposed compliments were expected when you were on a date, even with a friend, but she wished they could be spared even if it WAS true. She did look LOVELY. Enough that she'd harassed Harley into taking pictures before she'd left the beetle.

"Thanks." Manuela almost squeaked. Almost. "You look really nice, too." Also true. Suits and boys who knew how to wear them were something else. She poured herself something that both looked and smelled fruity and took a sip. Over the rim of her glass, she attempted to be casual about her staring. "What are you eating? Some of this actually looks good!"

She had no idea what she was craving at the moment. Some sweet? Savory? Fishy? Anyway, the dark haired girl went for the sushi and stacked her plate. A little more than she had expected. Growing girl's gotta eat. Moving down the table, she looked through the drinks. She was honestly thankful there wasn't any pumpkin juice. No need to repeat that one morning.

But then she saw mocktails.
YUP. THOSE WERE THE DRINKS FOR HER.

Layla just wanted something cold, sugary and right away. Not to mention the mocktail watermelon drink was calling her name. Taking one, the girl then carefully walked to an empty seat and sat down with her food. Sipping her drink a bit first, it didn't take long for the fifth year to dig in.

This was all VERY exciting and Tinka was sporting her BEST apron. The BESTEST. It was all white, of course, the same color as the headmistress' dress! But to ensure she didn't upstage the woman, Tinka had made sure to add some pink to the hem and all that. It was important to keep the boss always happy!

Her trusty whisk looked very shiny, too, and to avoid giving ideas to any naughty studentsies, Tinka had reduced it size for the NIGHT and tied it around her neck with a string. Like a collar! It was all very fancy.

She went around bowing very low to the studentsies and the staffs people and some of the mothers and fathers that had organized the GALA. When she saw some students who were empty handed (or maybe they weren't, it didn't really matter) Tinka widened her purple eyes and snapped her fingers.

Cupcakes from the tables lifted immediately, and Tinka went around with a wide smile distributing them to the studentsies. They didn't LOOK very familiar but Hogwarts was FULL of studentsies and unless they were talking in their foreign accents, Tinka could not tell if they were Ilvermonies studentsies or Hogwarts ones. But it didn't matter! Lachlan's landed on his head, Manuela and on her shoulder, Zinnia's on her shoulder, too and Layla's right next to the sushi.

"Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes!" Sing sang the house elf, shimming on the spot before heading over to continue her food distribution elsewhere. She wiggled her fingers at them all as she walked backwards and out of the dining saloon, "Studentsies! Tinka needs you to eats and enjoy plenty! No starving!"
