While the evening probably would have been better spent studying for her NEWT exams, the idea of getting to design and show off a creature inspired costume for the party was truly just too good of a deal to pass up. So when notices had gone up, she'd gotten to work and was quite pleased with the end result as she made her way in the Great Hall.

An occamy had been the inspiration for her attire. Or... well she supposed a peacock was as well, considering the similarities in feather colors between the two creatures. She'd started the outfit with a rich purple base, a dress that had a slight slit to just above her knee to allow easier room for movement while the base went to about mid shin. And from there, she'd chosen to use magic this time to make the alterations to fit the theme. She'd been able to charm the attire into changing into blues and greens depending on what angle you were looking at her from in the room. This was perhaps once of the hardest projects she'd taken on, but as she gave a spin into the room she felt like it was absolutely worth it given the colors she could see change as she did so.

Looking up, she grinned at Professor Paton's attire but since the woman looked busy she did not move towards her. Instead she kind of just... hovered along the wall. The preparation had certainly been fun for this event but... now she wasn't quite sure what to do while being here.

Listen, Professor Paton was clearly one of the coolest people in Hogwarts faculty. Alongside Professor Khanna as well of course. So even if she'd been teenage angsting moping in her dorm in and out for the last few weeks, if one of those two were holding an event of course she was going to be in attendance. Though she'd certainly not gone as all out on her attire as the Ravenclaw in front of her, or Professor Paton either for that matter. She'd gone simple, but more out of laziness other than not having a flair for dramatics. A simple green dress was what she'd chosen to show up in, with a necklace that had a snake head on it that she'd managed to thrift over the summer and some green bracelets.

It was only when she realized she didn't at all look like any type of creature that she'd then gone for a little extra and used her make up and a liiiiittle bit of magic to make patches on her arms that looked like snake scales. She'd managed to do it for her eye lids and a spot on her right cheek as well. Was it perfect? No, but it was pretty good if she said so herself. From there it'd just been a changing of the shoes into something that also appeared snakeskin like in appearance. People who knew her probably would figure she'd gone with her favorite - the basilisk - but for anyone else who asked she was just going to claim to be from the Naga tribe, like Nagini.

Entering the Great Hall, the snake girl went straight for her Head of House and the dessert table. "Hi Professor. Need any help?" She looked like she was still straightening things up so... it didn't hurt to ask.
