By that she meant Anna who then obviously asked half of the school to join them in their little viewing party disguised as an ‘assignment’. Not that she minded about the extra numbers, she was of the opinion that the more friends she could accumulate the better. The only concern being that this Ravenclaw was very easily distracted and there may be more chatting and consumption of snacks than actual watching of the film. She had picked the Princess Bride with the knowledge that it was an old film (positively ancient in her eyes) that contained a Princess for her and the sense of adventure that both she and Anna craved. Oh and Pirates, Anna loved those. Whether the boys would enjoy it as much as she was sure the girls would remained to be seen but they were in it for the long run now and well.. they didn’t have a choice.

As they were all in separate houses, Aurora arrived at the makeshift movie theatre alone. Her hair was tied up into their usual double pigtail braids and she was sporting a pastel rainbow coloured pair of PJ’s covered in cutesie cartoons of magical creatures, a gift from her parents for her summer birthday that it hadn’t been quite cold enough to wear until that day. On her feet were a pair of unicorn slippers, the pearlescent horn shimmering under the candlelight as she shuffled her way along the corridor and waited outside the door to enter the cinema with her friends for the first time. Of course they had chosen to turn the assignment into a PJ party.

He reluctantly arrived in pyjamas as per the girls request. Nothing special, just an all grey ensemble including his flooooofy dressing gown. He didn’t have any slippers, though, so he just wore regular trainers which just felt weird and looked ridiculous.

Seeming as if Aurora was the only one here thus far, Solomon couldn’t help but sigh before reaching the theatre, being careful not to sigh loudly enough for her to hear him coming. He was still a little sour with her after the fiasco in potions class, but would try to not let it ruin whatever this was.

Nice slippers,” he commented, stuffing his hands into his floofy dressing gown.

Now THIS was the kind of homework assignment Ezra enjoyed. Watching a film? Easy. Watching it with friends (or at least, acquaintances?)? Even better.

He was somewhat familiar with the film Anna and/or Aurora had chosen. His gran, who was a Muggle, had shown it to him and his older sister Cissa when they were younger. But, truth be told, he didn't remember much of it. Mostly he remembered the scene with the unusually large rodents and the character who wanted revenge for his father's death. So it'd be interesting to see what all he had forgotten about.

Dressed in a plain red shirt, comfy black pyjama bottoms, and black socks, he made his way down from the Gryffindor tower, careful not to slip on the stairs on the way down. Nothing like falling down the stairs to ruin movie night.

Once he'd arrived, he spotted Aurora and another bloke in his year standing outside the door. No Anna yet though. Was this guy - the name was escaping him suddenly but it started with an S, he was pretty sure - joining too?

"Hey," he said with a grin. "No Anna yet?"

To say she was excited would be an understatement. A MASSIVE understatement. It was all Anna had been able to think about ever since the assignment was set and suddenly on the day of she had felt the unfamiliar sensation of sheepishness creep in.

It made no sense to the Hufflepuffle. What was there to be shy or nervous about? Aurora had never steered her wrong when it came to introducing her to new things - not that this tale was particularly NEW new since she was pretty sure she had come across the book version at some point...though she also had yet to finish any book cover to cover and had likely started it but not actually finished it. Unless this story included canyon eagles and kreelixs or magic lamps and flying carpets. She supposed that she would find out today and all would be made clear, which was another perk and NOT something that would contribute to this very peculiar wiggly worm feeling in her tummy. And yet all the while she had been getting ready (also known as slipping into her onesie) her eyes had continued to dart over to the makeup kit from mum and to the mirror and her wild curls and face dominated by freckles. There was an inexplicable feeling, a need, to do something and look extra special...

Ultimately she had wasted entirely too much time fretting unnecessarily and rushed out of her dorm to meet her friends after applying a hearty amount of pink blush to her cheeks and just a bit to the tip of her nose. It was a bit more than would be considered 'normal', she supposed, but it gave her features a very rosy glow that matched the vibrancy of her unicorn onesie.

Realizing just how much time she had wasted on feelings that made no sense and seemingly came from nowhere when she saw Aurora, Solomon, and Ezra already present...Anna quicked her pace to a flying skip and bounded to a stop before them. "Hiiiiii," she hummed while stretching both her arms out high and wide to either side. The flippity floppity wiggly worm feeling had not subsided in the least and had, in fact, intensified somehow and the sensation only became MORE exaggerated as she looped one arm through Aurora's and she reached out for...er...Solomon's? Ezra's? Her arm kind of just flapped in the air in both of their general directions not knowing what to do with it and now wishing she had an additional arm.

Or maybe she should offer one of them her foot?

Um.

"Let's head inside, shall we? I hear the professor like...basically has the trolley from the Hogwarts Express in there in terms of snacks and goodies!"

Her arm? Yeah, it was still wiggling between Solomon and Ezra and Ezra and Solomon without really making contact...so it kind of looked like she was performing some sort of interpretative dance of eagerness.

"I have no idea how to use the VHR....VCS...the V machine. Sure hope one of you do!"
