Receiving Line Standing under a magnificent Hogwarts crest, you can find a Receiving Line. Shake hands with some current professors, the Head Girl and Boy, Prefects, and the Quidditch Captains as you enter the school. Take a moment to share a story with them before you disappear into the beautifully decorated Great Hall. |
Headmaster Gaellen Tate took his place at the front of the line, letting the other professors and student leaders queue up behind him. And now... he was ready for the guests to arrive. "Put on your brightest smiles, my friends." |
"Headmaster," Preston nodded as he joined the receiving line, casting just the quickest glance back toward where Eleanor stood, scanning photographs for familiar faces. "The decorations committee certainly did a fabulous job, did they not?" Preston, for his part, was quite impressed with their ideas. |
Max slipped into the line with his 'professional' smile on display. "Everyone comfortable in their monkey suits?" he joked. |
"My smile is always bright." Lilyan said, flashing said smile to the men, as she stood near, she had arrived in time to hear Kingsley mention the decorations, and took a look back into the Great Hall behind her, "Did you coordinate the committee?" She asked, impressed. Indeed, the decorations were lovely. |
Antigone held her head high, shoulders back, clutch in hand as she reached the *shudder* receiving line. GOOD MERLIN TATE WAS HAWT!!... If Tiggy wasn't a married woman... Anywho... Approaching the Headdude she extended her hand and said, "Gaellen, lovely to see you again and under better circumstances. Glad to see you still on board." She gave him a thousand watt smile and peered down the line for any other familiar faces... Hmmm. |
Maybe the only thing in the room that could compete with Professor Vindictus' sparkling smile, Celandine tossed her hair and stepped up to the receiving line, bedecked from head to toe in glittering gold. She flashed a smile of her own at her professors and the healer and the headmaster too, and took a spot right by her head of house. "Hello professors." She greeted demurely, almost purring though her insides were totally screaming LOOKLOOKLOOKATMEIIZAREALLGROWNUP! She just smiled though, and totally kept all that to herself. |

"The credit all goes to the group of students who put it together," he said decisively. |

Nymphy walked into the hall. It was magnificent, but before he could oogle he had to shake hands and the well-to-do people waiting at the entrance. "Hello!" he said to each as he past them. He gave a particular nod to the Headmaster, the Charms and Herbology professors, and his Hufflepuff prefects..... |

Antigone smiled and nodded, "Yes, I suppose you do. Hm. I am sure I will enjoy myself. Has anyone seen Anastasia Bunbury yet, I do so wish to speak to her." Antigone let a sly little grin spread her lips as she shook the Headmaster's hand and walked away... rather rudely, but she was on a mission. |

Raiden Jae Kururugi had never been to... events. He'd never attended any type of Ball. His family was not of the status that was invited to fundraiser events with important people. He hadn't even owned a suit until last term, and even then it had been Plymouth that had bought it for him. So the idea of a receiving line completely escaped him; what exactly was the point? You stood there, said hello to those coming in, and... then they went on their way? That was how it worked? If that was how it was supposed to be though, then... well he supposed it wouldn't hurt to go along with it. Casting a glance at Cela, who was so shiny that it should have been illegal, he added himself to the line, the familiar awkwardness he had used to carry with him noticeably missing. He hadn't asked Plymouth if he'd be here tonight... heh. He wondered, if his friend were to show up, if he'd notice that Raiden had finally found use for the suit that Plymouth had bought for him months ago. He absently straightened the silver tie, eyes wandering to look at the decorations. |

"I do believe my sister hopes to see you at some point this evening." Why, he couldn't fathom. Quote:

'Dance with me later' she mouthed, her eyes flicking over his ensemble and of course she nodded her approval and made mental notes. Quote:
"Thank you sir." Sparkling for sure. Sequins everywhere teehee. "You look dashing, sir, but then I can't recall any time where you haven't." She dimpled at her head of house, expression mildly affectionate. She realised she'd totally miss him! And just to show she was taking his advice, Cela took a deep breath and then winked. She'd done balls before after all. "Hello Professor Kingsley. I like the ruffles." Celandine told the Transfiguration professor quite sincerely. |
Thalia walked with Pat by her side into the Hogwarts Great Hall. LIKE ZOMG!!!!! She couldn't contain herself and was fearing for her life that she was going to trip in another favorite pair of heels. Professors, Headmaster, Prefects... she smiled at them as she walked by and practically ran into the Great Hall. Screw Pat. She was going to PARTAE! Hey maybe she'd see Aiden again. Patrick walked, slightly uncomfortable, into the Entrance of the Ball. He'd might as well hang out here until his date arrived. He looked to see Thalia already ditch him and he saw one of his favorite Professors. Miss Healer Moretti. Hehe. What a past they had. Why not go great her then eh? Patrick made his way over to her and said, "Hello Miss Moretti. Don't you look lovely tonight," he smiled. |

"I'll bet the girls will be waiting to dance with you." They should be at least, all of that trouble with them. |

But, Preston would be watching. Quite carefully. |
Ellie hung her head as she stepped towards the receiving line. The proud tomgirl was wearing now wearing a gold dress and black high heels. She tugged the hem of the skirt, feeling that it wasn't long enough, despite its knee-length. Her mum had made such a fuss about this thing, she couldn't miss it. That and her family threatened to send a howler if she skipped. She even had a wear her hair down and put on makeup. Thank goodness for the other girls to help her get ready. She stepped up, careful to not stumble in these alien shoes. She politely shook everyones hand, chit-chatting, making sure her presence was verified at this horrible event. |
