Having changed into your desired attire for the party, you notice a map of the world on your left as you enter the tent. At the top of the map “Welcome to the World” etched in beautiful timeless script on a golden plaque. The surface of the writing ripples with ever-changing runes and letters…quite literally welcoming you in every language. Beside the map you find a small wooden box filled with metal pushpins with clear crystal orbs at the top. These are enchanted to change colors once placed on the map and will flash your house colors. There is also an enchanted parchment under the map that will write down your name and heritage if you say it out loud.

OOC:: This is a partial-RP thread. Posts should be only your character placing a pin on the map of where they are from or where they associate their heritage! For example, maybe your character was born and raised in London, but their family has very strong Mexican roots that they associate themselves with more than London. They may place their pin on Mexico if they so desire.

Salander walked up to the map, the crystal pin rolling playfully between his fingers. Raising his arm he shifted it towards the continent of North America and pinned it down on a city along the Western seaboard of the United States. He glanced down at the parchment and uttered “Salander. Anaheim, CA, USA”
He watched the parchment start to fill with his name and the place of his birth, then broke into his trademark smirk before walking back to rejoin the party.
Yeah thats what crazy is, when its broken you say theres nothing to fix++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++And you pray that everything will be okay, while you're making all the same mistakes

With the pin in hand, the Slytherin fiddled with it as she walked up to the map after Salander left. Glancing at where he placed his, Evelyn smirked as her gaze traveled across the map and towards the opposite side towards Europe, the multi-language greetings the map was giving not at all going unnoticed. Raising the pin, she placed it in a place to the side of the United Kingdom and close to Germany, but not quite there. "Evelyn Flores. Netherlands, Europe."
Staring at her name and place of birth, her smirk widened right after seeing the pin start flashing the Slytherin green color. Hmmm, well, done with that. Now to go and search for a particular Gryffindor.

Staying several feet behind Cookie!Hater, Kurumi waited patiently for the Head Girl to place her pin before approaching the map herself. They really had outdone themselves with this one. She wasn't sure who to thank for the multilanguage greeting at the top, but Kurumi never felt so happy to see her native language appear.
Picking up a pin, Kurumi moved to the right until she stood in front of Japan and pressed her free hand against the map while she searched for her tiny town. Aha, there it was. Kurumi pushed the pin into the map and its crystal ball turned a bright crimson instantly. "Kurumi Hollingberry. Niigata, Japan," she whispered in awe at the charm work. Her name appeared on the parchment in the same crimson letters as the pin glowed.
Now, time to head into the party to help with any last minute set up.

Carter headed up to the map and was surprised to see that nobody was from England so far. He took a pin and placed it a little bit off of London while saying, "Carter Phillips, Surrey, Great Britain." He smiled as the pin turned red.
Now... where was this buffet? He was starving!
As he walked away the parchment under the map added his name to the list.

Arya had been staring at all the blinking lights on the map and the changing welcome sign. It was pretty awesome, and she couldn't wait to stop by later to see it with all the student's different locations on it. The prefect played with her pin for a moment before pinning it on the map and watching it start blinking Puff yellow. Pretteh.
"Tennessee, USA." She smiled satisfied as she watched her name appear on the parchment, then turned and skipped off towards the sweets.

Jai saw the map and went over to it. Picking up a pin, he located his place of birth. He pushed the pin in place on the map and smiled a bit as a sense of pride sweep through him. His heritage, birthright and family history was there.
He looked at the parchment below the map before saying,"Pierce, Jai,Athens, Greece." He watched his name appear in the parchment. he smiled before moving away.
Ellie chewed on her lip as she approached the map. It was really quite impressive with the changing languages and blinking pins.
She picked up a pin of her own and pushed it into the map, "Ellie....Stone." Yeah, she'll add it. Why not? There were quite a few Ellie's in Ravenclaw, after all. "Bristol, Great Britain." Home.
Her pin blinked blue and the Captain watched her name appear on the parchment below the map before walking away to join in on the other funsies.

Kennedy made his way over to the map. He was pretty amazed at how this whole international thing had turned out. It was the most fun he's had here at Hogwarts and was glad that he could be a part of it. Without hesitating, Kennedy took one of the pushpins and placed over his country. "Kennedy Escalante. Nuevo Leon, Mexico." he said with pride welling inside his chest.
He grinned and then walked off to see what else he could do.

Sky stepped up to the map and grabbed a pin. She located the United States on the map and put her finger on the East coast. She started looking for her not so small hometown. She found it and pushed the pin in. "Sky Carter-Hope, New York City, New York, USA." she whispered. The pin lit up a bright emerald green as Sky smiled and left to join the party.

Katrina went to the map to register her country anf name. As she waited fro her turn, she played with her dress. She didn't imagine herself wearing them! But she admitted, she looked good in them
It was Katrina's turn. She went and took a small pin. "Hudson, Katrina" The first year said. "New Jersey, U.S.A."
Then she pinned the pin to her destination. New Jersey, U.S.A. How desperate Katrina wanted to go there since her mother was born in there. Told her that place is great for vacations.

Noticing a map of the world on her left, Erin moved towards it. There was the greeting sentence at the top of the map saying "Welcome to the World" and it slowly changed into Korean inscriptions. Blimey, that was awesome!
Picking a push pin from the box below, she looked for her heritage in Asia, well she was literally born in London but she's more inclined to Korea. Her Mummy came from there and just by her looks, one could say that she was truly an Asian. Pulling her Hanbok sleeve slightly, Erin pushed the pin exactly in Seoul, South Korea. How she missed that place. Oh, the pin changed in color showing her house's. Looking down at the enchanted parchment, she spoke, "Erin Cornelia Heyman, Seoul, South Korea.
Aurora just looked at the map for a minute, it was very pretty... And nobody from Germany yet..? Oh, that's a shame, going have to change it! She stepped forward, "Aurora Stewart-Quinn, Cologne, Germany." she said. Yeah, wasn't where she was born, sure, but she'd grown up in Germany... Mostly. And Köln was where she spent the most time. She missed it a lot... maybe she could persuade her parents to take her to a Quidditch match there this year... and she could invite Kennedy... If her parents would let her. She still hadn't got a reply from her mother about... yeah. She pushed the pin onto Cologne and watched her name appear on the parchment. That was pretty cool...

Raven went to the map. She thought which country she choose. England?? I don't think so. Then she thought about her Maternal's family. The Omarovic Family was from Russia. Then she put the pushpin into the Russia map.
"Raven Charlotte. St. Petersburg. Russia."

Victoria approached the giant map with a stir of curiosity. This sounds interesting, Victoria definitely want to show them where she was from...she stepped closer to the map and waited for her turn to share. "Paris, France."
Caroline noticed blinky pins over on a map. She walked over to it, she knew exactly where she was going to put her pin. She wasn't actually born in Italy, but since spending Christmas there she knew that was there she belonged. She had her grandmother Romalotti's dress on. Her family was there. Her Father and Brother were both from there. She'd traveled there a year ago to find him. She spend time over the summer there. She was planning on going there for Easter/Spring break. So, Yes Italy was her home, more than England.
She picked up a pin, and placed it right on the pretty boot shaped Country, "Caroline Scott. Naples, Italy." She said happily with a smile. Now time to go do some exploring.

Selina walked over to the map where there were a good many pins hanging up all over the map to signify where her peers lived when they were not at the castle. Her eyes scanned over the map to find her small rural town just on the outskirts of London when she found it- Watford. Nice town, lots of grass, close to the city, privacy for many wizarding families. Watford was the best place to grow up and Whitley Hall was not so bad either. She loved her home, but there was something about the castle that she just liked better.
So she picked up a flag and stuck it in her quaint little town, "Selina Skylar, Watford, United Kingdom, Europe."
Walking up to the map with a pin in his hand, João's fully Brazilian eyes remained shortly on the brief list of foreigners. HA! There was no one from Brazil on that list, not even from Portugal. Well, he was obviously unique but someone to talk Portuguese would have been good... in some cases, that was. But, then again, that Portuguese descend might have stuck to him too. Mweh, then it would be boring.
Moving on.
Raising the pin, it didn't take him even one second to find his beloved county, Brazil, and pinned it in the heart of the best country on the world. No, it was the best place in the universe, because as far as he knew, there was no place like Amazons, or Rio de Janeiro Carnival, São Paulo...
"João Marcelo Mendonça Nascimento Teixeira Neves, Brasília, Brazil." Watching his pin for a moment, he sighed in longing, and left the map.
Stepping up to the map, TJ took a pin and placed it on Essex, Great Britain. "TJ Michaels, from Essex, Great Britain." she said nice and clear. Watching as her pin started flashing the Slytherin colors, she grinned and walked away from the map.
Like a Domino ♥ Karma Kimalia ♥ ♥ Taco Bell ♥ Sorry for party rocking
So this was the map, Kimalia thought. She was behind other students and awaited her turn before checking the whole map. Her eyes first landed on Canada, the country where she anticipated living at, not just for seeing her big brother, but for the chance to live outside of her birthplace and outside schooling where she could make something of herself.
She smiled as she uttered the words, "Kimalia Fanster. Canada, North America." Watching as her name was written and pinned at the location she turned back to enjoy the rest of the party.
August had been thinking really hard which outfit he was going to wear to the Around the World Party. He knew his father would definately want him to wear a traditional Jewish outfit but August had lived and grown up in England, as had his father so he was going to represent his home country.
The Gryffindor walked into the tent in his bright red football uniform and white shorts, representing his home team, Manchester United! He stepped up to the world map and grinned at all the flashing pins showing where everyone was from. Neat! "August Goldstein," he spoke aloud and stuck the pin in the UK. "Manchester, Great Britian."

It didn't take long to bring Chandler here, or to want to come anyway. He just needed a costume and he was here and plus, he was pretty excited about this. But not so much about his costume, it was a bit cheesy and a bit egoistical but it was the only thing available that was French and that he would wear. Even if it did show off his arms.
Maybe Chandler would be able to find some cotton and attach it to his arms so they wouldn't be so bare later but now he stood in the tent, "Wow...zis iz zo awesome." It really was! He'd touch the map but he'd probably get pricked by all the pins placed onto it. "Oh..right. Anyway..." He trailed off, speaking to himself for no entire reason and picking up a pin to place bang in the middle of France. "Chandler Montague. France, Europe." OHH! Yellow! Now THAT was just too awesome. :3
