Default The Festival of Lights




FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS


It was early February, and the cold winter winds still shrilled through the Forest and into the cracks and crevices of the castle. The once pure white snow had been trodden and sleeted on and made dingy with firesmoke. Tapio always felt that this time of year, when the midwinter holidays were firmly in the past and spring seemed still very far away, just cried out for a party. And so he decided to throw one. But what kind of party?

He still remembered the fine time he'd had at the Amsterdam Light Festival, which he had attended with his entire family back in December. The city's buildings and canals, lighted everywhere with all the different light scrulptures and installations, were truly magical (and if a few wizarding art pieces were smuggled into the mix, the Muggles never noticed). There was an idea! Why not have a Festival of Lights right here at Hogwarts? A few simple charms could create something quite festive...

And so, on the appointed evening, any Hogwarts residents who made their way out to the Greenhouses were greeted by buildings and trees outlined with sparkling fairy lights. Shining globes floated through the trees and along the paths, which were outlined with gleaming golden globes. Beams of colored lights shot up into the air to create a rainbow effect over Greenhouse Five, where the refreshment tables were set up, filled with urns of hot cocoa, mulled cider, and a sweet, spiced milk drink called slemp, as well as all sorts of sweets and pastries. In addition to the usual cakes and cookies that the Hogwarts House Elves were famous for, there were also some special treats that Professor DeVries had arranged for--apple fritters, spice cookies and almond cookies, thin pancakes rolled up and sprinkled with powdered sugar, marziepan, and small, round doughnuts. And if you're not too busy stuffing your face, you might notice a number of large, covered baskets up against the greenhouse wall, with a faint glowing coming from inside...

No need to fear the cold--the entire area is covered with warming charms. So come on up, leave your hats and scarves and cloaks on one of the floating branches that serve as coatracks, and help yourself to some treats. Stroll along the lighted paths and enjoy the light show! (But no sneaking off into the Forbidden Forest--Professor DeVries will be watching.)


[OOC: So, feel free to rp your character(s) arriving, getting some food, admiring the lights, greeting each other, and walking along the paths. There will be more activities later, so stay tuned.

Hi! Hello, there everyone! Keighley smiled brightly at anyone that even glanced her way. Waving cheerfully to others. Happy modes were contagious, yes? Because she was all for spreading the good vibes. This was a festival after all and those were typically meant to be joyous occasions.

Did someone say lights?! How cool! Keigh glanced at Jude and BEAMED! "Nuuuuuuuu, Jude! The food can wait.. can we go decorate ourselves with the lights now?" She was going to need his help with putting some together so she could use them in her hair. Once they were all nicely decorated with lights then they could get snacks and wander around. This was a much better idea. He agreed with this newer plan, right?


*****


Vasco had considered not attending this thing. Before he heard about what it really was. Lights could be interesting. Colorful and shiny and stuff. What had really gotten his attention though was the simply known fact that there was going to be food. Snacks. If you wanted to get him somewhere that was usually the way to do it. With the promise of snacks. Chocolate worked best.

So here he was. Removing his coat he hung it up on one of the floating branches, which he had to admit was rather cool. Those were something he could use at home in his room. First things first though, the young Ravenclaw made his way straight for the snacks and drinks. His plate was piled high with a little of everything.. hey he was a growing boy! Obviously he needed a cup of hot cocoa to wash it down.

With his refreshments in hand, eyes scanned the area for the bestie who was nowhere in sight. Great. Way to go, Logan. Now what was he su-

Vera. The loud mouthed twin. Without a sound he followed her towards the baskets of.. lights? Came up beside her.. and.. carefully so he wouldn't spill anything, bumped side against hers. Arm to arm. Shoulder to shoulder. That kind of thing. Something he didn't do very often but wasn't completely out of the ordinary for him.

The fact Daniel asked her to not talk with a mouthful, like an older brother would have she would point out (!!!!) just caused the girl to open her mouth full of donut at him, hoping to further disgust like the child she was. Swallowing her current bite, she shoved something else in there and began chewing again, looking around at the lights again because the smart advice she was clearly not going to listen to was being ignored.

She was not offended at the hand being brushed off, as she’d already moved on now that they had their task for the night and with the baskets she brought back she was working on looking through some of the light options. Daniel’s refusal at being the model was predictable, which was why she hadn’t REALLY been asking permission and would do her best to just stick things onto his back instead and hooooope he didn’t notice. Maybe the growing crowd around them could help with that. A girl approached (V), offering to be the model and Vera eyed her for a minute eyes WIDENING as she compliment Daniel’s face. Her sympathy then stretched to the new girl, if only she KNEW what Vera know did not knew. “You can be the model then!” Poor, poor girl.

Vera was distracted from all their previous conversations when the girl in front of her offered a hand and introduced herself. Lisa? Lisa Nam?? Vera thought on the name for a second, a nickname not readily popping into her head so she decided she’d just go with her name. For NOW. “Hi Lisa!! My name’s Vera. Like the fashion designer!” As one could probably not tell given the rather… eccentric looks the younger Gryffindor tended to sport. “I’m a first year Gryffindor!” The only house name she had memorized so far. Offering one of the baskets towards Lisa, Ve BEAMED at her. “Why don’t you and Daniel start on uh…..” She ended up just gesturing towards the other girl that offered to be the model.

And she’d start on Daniel once he was distracted!

Sia’s arrival was met with GIANT grins at the girl as she nodded at the question, gesturing towards Daniel. “Squid boy is I think! Which… the squid thing should totally be part of the cover too. How COOL would you look on a cover with a bunch of tentacles waving behind you?! It could be part of the theme of the book!”

It wasn’t long after that that another presence arrived, silent and next to her like she was used to on the rare moments when Vera had other people to annoy and could actually just be companionable with her twin. Grinning at his arrival, which was the perfect timing, she dropped her voice to a whisper to talk to him. “Up for chaos?” They were much more fun when they combined forces instead of pitted against each other.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Daniel was growing increasingly more annoyed with the situation as Lisa nudged him with her elbow and began to tease him for ‘trying to make a move’. The fourth-year pinched the bridge of his nose as he let out a tired sigh. ” As I told Vera, I am NOT going to ‘make a move’"

Daniel's right hand twitched by his side as Vera opened her mouth to show him the chewed doughnuts inside, anxious to grasp his wand and use Oscausi to seal her mouth shut. Of course, he never acted on this thought because he was no longer a first-year student who acted before thinking. And he knew perfectly well that the use of a dark charm would earn him a ticket straight to detention. And he had to keep out of the professor’s radar if he and Lisa wanted to enter the restricted area in the library. The less attention they got from professors, the better.

Speaking of Professors, Daniel turned to face DeVries as he proceeded to explain that decorating was optional. "I understand, professor; I have no problem participating in the decorating process. I simply refuse to model for it" the last few words were said as he glared at the small group.

Fortunately for him, V arrived to stand with them and he was glad that she moved the focus away from him and towards herself. He took a sip from his hot chocolate as his dark brown eyes scanned the area again in search of Maya when V said that he had a good face for modelling. Daniel almost spewed the hot chocolate out of his mouth but managed to keep it in. It didn't help that Lisa and Vera added to the remark when Sable and Vasco joined them. Merlin's Beard, there went his plan to quietly spend the festival looking at the lights.

"I doubt I'll ever be on the cover of a book" he replied, rolling his eyes. He'd once been on the cover of a muggle business magazine with his family, but whatever. He pretended not to hear Vera's squid boy comment or her suggestion that tentacles should wave around behind him on the cover. He didn't want to acknowledge it, but he thought it was cool.

"Let's just start on decorating.." he said as he walked away to grab some of the lights that had the temporary sticking charm cast on them before standing next to V and fastening one of the lights on to her arm. "There. Fashion"

Tapio greeted the last arrivals (Sable Armstrong and Vasco Thanatos) and made sure they knew where the food and decorations were. He then relaxed a bit and took the opportunity to enjoy some of the rolled pancakes and the oliebollen (the little round doughnut pastries), some of his favorite dishes from back home, but when he took a quick glance at his pocket watch (his grandfather's, which looked tiny in his large hand) he realized it was getting late.

"All right, everyone--it's time for those of you who chose to wear some of the decorations to show us what you've come up with, if you like." And with a wave of his wand, he transformed the sidewalk running in front of the greenhouse into a red carpet. He turned to an old fashioned radio which had been sitting on a stool in the shadows and turned it on, fiddling a bit with the dial until he found the musical program on the Wizarding Wireless Network that he knew had just started. With another flick to enhance the lighting in that area, he stepped back into the crowd and looked around eagerly, hoping to see some unique creations.



[OOC: Sorry for running late. So now is the time to post your character displaying what they or their group have come up with (or not) and reactions to the show. You have until around noon (Central Time) Monday, July 4th, Work that runway!]

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Jude always appreciated how much Lisa cared for him; needless to say the feelings were returned because he thought of her as another younger sister. Yes, he was happy for the most part. There were still the occasional moments of melancholy which hit but he was okay. Especially since he was taking part in such a grand event! Spotting Desiree, he returned her wave but he pretended not to know who she was. “Um… excuse me, miss? Are you an actual princess?!” Because… just look at her in that outfit! Desiree was always dressed so adorably.

And his sister? She was the cutest! Her words had him laughing. “Okay, okay! Food’s going to happen later.” He could work with that. Jude eyed the contents of the basket once more. “So… which of these would you want to use, Keigh?” There were tubular lights in bright, flashing colours. The older Hufflepuff immediately pulled out a few of the lights and began sticking them on the upper part of his shirt, around the perimeter of the part that went around the base of his neck. “Hey, Keigh. Can you get the back of my shirt for me? Just continue in the same way that I’ve started with, please.” He turned around so Keigh could do the rest. “Would you want to model?” he continued curiously as he watched DeVried fidget with the radio.

Violet had been busy working on some edits to a new short story she was writing in the Common Room and was running late before she knew it. But she had wanted to come down and look at the lights (maybe look at boys--maybe a particular boy), so she had thrown on the dark purple dress and gold chain her Uncle Horatio had given her for her birthday a few years ago, thrown on a heavy black wool cardigan over that, and hurried down to the greenhouses. She saw Caes there and tried to catch his eye, but he was there with his sister, Aria, who seemed to have some strange vendetta against Violet of late, for reasons she still could not figure out, so Violet hesitated to go up to him and contented herself with just smiling at him across the grass when she thought she had caught his eye.

Tapio had greatly enjoyed watching what sorts of decorations the students had come up with, but suddenly, from within Greenhouse 5, came a soft chiming sound, which caught his attention. "Thanks to you all for partipating and making this party a success. I hoped you enjoyed the food and the lights. But it's getting late now and I don't want to keep any of you out past curfew, so we'll have to start shutting things down. You can wear the decorations back with you if you like--the light charms will wear off by bedtime and you can just pull them off when you want to. Please feel free to take any of the leftover food with you if you're still hungry or want to bring some to a friend who couldn't make it. And over on the small tables next to where the baskets were are some party favors--please take one. And again, thank you for coming, and good night."

* * *


And indeed, if you went to look on the small tables, you would find some small boxes, each lighted up in a different color, containing several pieces of Dutch chocolate. Golden round lights have appeared on the pathway back to the castle, lighting your way back, and if you happen to look over your shoulder when you return to the castle, you might see the lights of the festival winking out, one by one, until the night is lit only by stars.



[OOC: This is the last post for this event. Thanks for coming to play! I'll leave the thread open for a while (till sometime tomorrow, 7/6) if you want to wrap anything up.

She frowned at Daniel when he pinched his nose and became, once again, a very serious insect. “Oh so you want someone to make a move on you?” she asked, curiously as she looked up at him. Daniel, Daniel, Daniel. She never would have expected that buuut she learned something new every day. So he wanted someone to ask him to the dance?

Lisa smiled. “A pleasure to meet you, Vera,” she nodded in return. Merlin… Vera was very, very, VERY (did we mention how very?) enthusiastic. She took the case of lights from her. “A Gryffindor? Fantastic. My eldest brother was a Gryffindor. A good house,” she offered with a kind smile. A good but not great house… not as good as Ravenclaw which she deemed the superior house because Evan and HER were both in it. Though she’d never mention this out loud.

She giggled at Daniel’s dramatic. There. Fashion. “Its brilliant.” She stood behind him as she acted into over admiring his work. “but let me just add something else that I learned from Maya. She’s the aesthetic queen of the family,” she mentioned haphazardly as she began adding lights onto V. She draped them like a necklace around her.

Is it too much now?

Vasco gave a nod of her head in Tapio's direction when he told him where certain things were. Not to worry Sir, this boy knew exactly where the food was. That was one thing he could always find.

Oh, dear sweet sister, would he ever turn down such an opportunity? With more food in his mouth than one should probably have at any given time, Vas nodded once. No words were needed for this. Words would only give things away.

Creating chaos seemed to be one of the only times the two of them really worked well together. So lets do this. Swallowing everything he had in his mouth and washing it all down with a long sip of hot cocoa, he was ready to go.

Now what did Vera have in mind?


*****


Keighley wasn't sure what she had said that was making Jude laugh but she really didn't care. She was just glad to see him having sure a great time. "Ummm.." There was a bit of rummaging through one of the baskets until she came across some very small little bright white lights. "I think I'm going to use these ones! Can you help me make a star with them on my cheek?" Bright blue eyes sparkled as she looked at her big brother. Already she was placing some of the smaller flashing lights in her long blonde hair. "Of course I can!" Keigh took the tubular lights and fixed them along the back of his shirt connecting to the rest of where Jude had already placed the others. "There you go! That looks great." Model? She hadn't really thought about it. "Sure, if you join me." Arm in arm like how they showed up?
