Dylan dragged his sleeping bag with him. He had gone for the usual pyjama bottoms. Yes his chest was bare, but it was better than what he usually slept in. He carried his Iron Man pillow with him. It was good to have something to look at. Better than his arc reactor-less scar on his chest.

He was ready for a story. He hoped it would be exciting.

Ok so he hadn't laid out his sleeping bag before he hit the food table. He had just carried it with him. He was that hungry.

He grabbed a pumpkin juice, and headed to lay out his bag.

Elora entered the Great Hall in her light pink nightgown and carried her sleeping bag and pillow. She was hoping tonight would be fun! She noticed someone grabbing some sweets."Hi! I'm Elora. Mind if I sit with you?"

Was she talking to him? "Um I was just grabbing a pumpkin juice," he smiled, "I am going to sit over by the fire. You are welcome to join me over there." Yeah. With his pumpkin juice in hand, he dragged his sleeping bag in that direction.

"Put on a shirt, Mr. Denver. It's not that kind of party," the Headmaster strolled past to grab a bottle of butterbeer before heading back to the dias.

KARAOKE.

Marie walked into the great hall in her favorite green jammies and slippers. It seemed a little odd to be there in her night clothes but she was ready to have some fun. Looking around she only seen a couple of other students there. She was rather early but what else did she have to do, she still hadn't found Evan and she wasn't sure where Evelyn or Destiny were either. Hopefully they would all show up, she was ready to have some fun with them.

She walked over to Dylan (she recognized him from the game earlier) to say hi. "Hi Dylan, I'm Marie, how are you?" Might as well try to make some new friends, especially ones from her own house.

Dylan jumped at the sight of the Headmaster, "Um Sir. I don't have one. And it is a slumber party. I wore pyjamas." How could he hunt down a shirt? He could summon one.

Another person. Wow he was popular tonight. Maybe it was the quidditch. "Ummm how do I know you?" How did she know him. That was the question. "I am good. How are you?"

"Thank you!" Elora grabbed some sweets before following him to the fireplace. He seemed very nice. 'The Great Hall looks amazing tonight' she thought.

Kiri was shivering slightly when she entered the Great Hall. She'd changed back in the dormitory so that no one would be forced (or tempted) to watch her do it in the Great Hall, but the general temperature in the school was meant for blouses and robes, not pyjamas or nightgowns. She was barefoot too, of course, and her toes nearly tried curling in on themselves to avoid the cold stone floor.

The Hall was looking very festive and appropriate for the occasion. The house tables were gone, and only one giant one remained, nearly bulging under the weight of innumerable foodstuffs and drinks. Kiri examined them in passing as she walked over to the roaring fire where she'd spotted someone she wanted to talk to. Her feet made a soft pitter-patter noise on the stones.

"Hey Dylan," she said, dropping her sleeping bag next to his. "Good, er, good evening, Headmaster," she added; the man was standing there as well. She felt a little self-conscious about running around in her nightwear around him.

The Headmaster drew his wand and conjured a gawdy Hawaiian shirt, complete with enormous flowers in vibrant hues. It was fairly hideous.

"Here you, Mr. Denver. The first rule might be 'Stay alive' but the second rule is 'Be prepared.' And the third rule is 'If you stain my favorite shirt, I will play pin-the-tail-on-the-Slytherin.'"

Jake entered the great hall in his usual mismatched pajamas. He had also put on some pink bunny slippers after a few minutes of deciding wether or not his feet would be cold. Dragging his Sleeping bag further into the great hall he finally saw the table of the best food. Hooray for junk food, he sat staring at it for a few seconds deciding wether to get some now or later. This just completely made his day. YAY! He dropped the sleeping bag and ran at the table grabbibg some junk food and went back to take his sleeping bag. Food in one hand, sleepingbag in the other he started walking around to see who else was here. He hoped to make some new friends tonight.

"Oh sorry, I don't believe we have met before, I just know your name from the quidditch match today." The match she was sure Gryffindor had cheated at to win but she wasn't here to talk about that, she wanted to have fun. "I'm Marie, 2nd year Slytherin, I'm doing good, just waiting for some friends to get here." Hopefully they would get here soon too.
Oh the Slytherin captain came over to them too. "Hi, I'm Marie, how are you?" Even though she was only a second year, Marie was determined to make as many friends as she could tonight, no matter what year they were.

Looking at the shirt the headmaster gave Dylan all she could tihnk was, 'hope he is the last one to fall asleep tonight.' Of sourse she would never say that out loud. "Hello Headmaster Tate, what a lovely shirt that is." Yeah right, she was just glad she didn't have to wear it.

Finally someone he actually knew. "Hey Kiri," he smiled. "I was actually gonna put down by the fire. Warmer there." His barefeet were a bit chilly on the floor. And his bare chest was rather cold too. Well that was until...

...the Headmaster summoned something colourful. Dylan eyed it. Wow it was bright. He wouldn't get lost dressed in this. "Well I managed the stay alive part." He had the scars for that one. "Thank you though Professor," he smiled. He put it on. Yep VERY bright. He buttcheeks clenched at the idea of pin-the-tail-on-the-slytherin. That would be painful. "I promise I won't stain it." This was his favourite shirt? Wow he was flamboyant. In an overly bright way. He could now see the Head in another way. And it wasn't really a pretty way.

Elora saw Kiri come over. She had never seen her before. She decided to be polite and introduce herself. "Hello! My name's Elora.

"I'm glad you like it, miss," Tate said with a little grin. Yes, of course... they were mocking the shirt. But then again... so was he.

"If you like it so much, I'm sure I can find something equally stunning for you to wear. Interested?"

"Thank you. If you did, I wouldn't have anything to wear with my surfer shorts on the beach in Hawaii." Because what was Hawaii without a bright shirt and neon bathing suit?

Boring, that's what.

"Carry on with the staying alive. Have fun." And he strolled off.

Kiri didn't really have a chance to say hi to Dylan. As she was still unpacking her sleeping bag, he wandered off in the direction of the food-laden table. He sure was popular tonight, she thought, watching him as she unrolled the bag on the floor. Maybe because of his impressive performance on the Pitch earlier. He was surrounded by people.

With a sigh, Kiri got up and followed him. All that food did look delicious. So much, in fact, that she wouldn't even know where to start. She just sort of got in line behind Dylan, nodding and smiling at everyone who was hanging around there as well. "Hi, er... Marie. Hi Elora." Pretty name, she thought, picking up a plate. "I'm Kiri, nice to meet you guys."

"Hey Dylan, wait up." She grabbed some cauldron cakes at random and put them on her plate. There was lots of Muggle food as well, but Kiri did not recognise a lot of it and decided that any culinary experiments would have to wait. She was pretty hungry - after the game, she'd dawdled in the shower forever, letting the hot water ease her aching muscles, but now she could have chomped down a lion. A proper one, not a Gryffindor.

With a huge mug of pumpkin juice in her other hand, Kiri gestured towards the fireplace. "Want to go over?"

"Wooooooooo!!!!!!" Nina ran into the Great Hall beaming. A slumber party! Hogwarts is awesome!!! It has successfully exceeded her expectations!

She spotted the food. FOOOOOD!!!! And ran straight over.

Packing a plate with as much yummy-ness as she could fit, she glanced around the room for where to go next and if she saw anyone she knew...

Elora turned to Marie." Hello! Nice to meet you. Are you excited for tonight? Elora laid out her sleeping bag and popped one of the sweets she had grabbed into her mouth. 'Tonight...' she began to promise to herself'Tonight I will make a new friend'

Sapphyre loped into the Great Hall, hearing a commotion. When she entered, her jaw dropped. Wha... What...? She had not heard about this!!!! She ran back upstairs, grabbing a sleeping bag and rushed back down, lying it out in an unclaimed corner. Then, she rushed to the sweets, nearly tripping over herself, and grabbed the first sugary thing that she saw.

... Yay!!!!

Lucy walked into the Great Hall, already changed into her PJ’s and her slippers. They were her favorite ones, and so she thought it might be appropriate to wear them to the slumber party. She also had her sleeping bag and her stuffed sheep that she secretly slept with sometimes. As she walked down the aile, she looked around for Kat and Ty—they said they’d be there. “Oh well, I’ll just eat while I wait for them,” She said with a sigh and then headed over to an empty space on the bench. Sitting down, she grabbed the nearest chocolate bar and started unwrapping it, almost drooling. “Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Yesssss, chocolaaaaate!” She said as she broke off a piece with her hand and popped it in her mouth. Chocolate attack!!!!

Tibi walked into the Great Hall, teddy bear tucked under one arm, bag with his knitting slung over the other.

Glancing around nervously -- would others have animals? -- he approached the table of junk food. He'd stopped walking as he saw the headmaster produce a shirt and hand it over to a previously bare-chested student.

"Coooool," he said mostly to himself as he watched the headmaster walk away. That shirt was BRIGHT.

And as far as Tibi was concerned, it was cool.

"Might I suggest real clothes?" Dylan frowned. On a normal day he wouldn't be caught dead in a shirt like this. But today was not a normal day. He had played quidditch, was getting alot of attention from the ladies, and had now actually spoken to the Headmaster. It was most definately not a normal day.

"I will do Sir," he smiled. Oh good he had gone. Dylan was tempted to take the shirt off. But then again, he looked good. He could tell. He looked good in anything.

Carrying his pumpkin juice he nodded, "Lets grab a good spot before they are all taken." Wow, him and Kiri had barely spoken two words since he had started, and now, all because he was a sub on her match, she wanted to spend time with him. Which was cool, cos she was cute, but odd all the same. "You got enough food?" he asked, slinging his sleeping bag over his shoulder. He was going to grab a plate, but thought of another idea. He grabbed a handful of chocolate frogs and fed them into his sleeping bag. It acted like a normal bag that way.

Vashti was quite excited - a slumber party! Her first wizard slumber party! She wondered if it was at all different from the Muggle slumber parties she attended, and if it was, how different. She hoped she wouldn't mess anything up since it was her first as that wouldn't be pleasant at all. The pajamas seemed fairly typical, so she was wearing her favorite pj's - a navy blue T-shirt, black sweatpants, and a pair of fuzzy blue slippers. Soooo comfortable.

The first thing she noticed when she entered the Great Hall was the food table. Junk food! Lots and lots of junk food! Even Muggle junk food! Oh, she'd missed those so much!

With her sleeping bag slung over her shoulder, Vashti dashed over to the junk food table, marvelling at the variety. And while she pondered what to take first, she noticed one of the guys from Quidditch practice. She hadn't spoken to him very much, so she decided to make up for it now - it'd take her awhile to decide on food, anyway.

"Hey there," she greeted, smiling. "I don't think I've talked to you very much, even though we're both on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team - well, I'm not, techincally... I mean, I'm just a reserve, so technically I'm not really on the team, though I guess I kinda am, but..." Get to the point. "I'm Vashti."

Nina saw her fellow Ravenclaw first year friend. Well, kinda. They've met.

"Hey. Vashti, right??" she asked/said...

I hope I don't look like a complete idiot! she thought.

Nina saw another girl come to the table.

"Hi. My name's Nina." she introduced herself. "Glad to see I'm not the only one completely at peace at this table! Junk food! It's amazing!" She said cheerfully, wanting to start a conversation.

Elora realized that everyone had left her now. She was going to try and make a friend. But her first attempt had failed. She decided to just sit down on her sleeping bag and wait. Just wait for anyone to maybe talk to her. She looked around at all the happy Hogwarts students and wished she was one of them.
