Hecate Lafay had brought her cauldron to the great hall. She charmed the door-frame so that every cauldron brought into the room by her students would be decorated in party colors and glitter. The ones containing Chocolate Base would have the words "Decadent Fudge" on them, the ones with Caramel, would have "Creamy Caramel" on them, the ones with a caramel base had "Smooth Butterscotch" on them, and the marshmallow bases, like her own, would sport the words "Gooey Marshmallow".

Not only was there syrup, but all sorts of toppings, fruit, and nuts, and sprinkles, and miniature candies, and cookies, and crumbled candybars and crumbed cake... even pickles! Anything your heart desired on an ice cream.

Hecate enhanced her voice so it was heard throughout the school by students and professors alike. "Enjoy a bowl of Hogwarts Ice Cream with our flavor enhancing syrups here in the great hall." She said and charmed the ladles to ladle out the syrups on their own.

ooc: Everyone eating the syrups: This is the antidote to the GleeIceCream. Even if you weren't under the effects of the ice cream, this syrup will not hurt you and is safe to eat. However it has a smaaaaall side effect... a feeling of loss and sadness, like something's missing from life now that you aren't elated all the time.

Right. Yes. TO THE CAULDRON.

Tobias jumped down from his where he was stood on the bench and pranced along with Forrest. Ooooooooooooh that looked good.

BUT WAIT. He still had to get some of the syrup from West.

"Thanks!" To save time, Tobias had some of Forrest's syrup put on his ice cream and then turned to go back to West. Before he had even gone two steps he glanced at Forrest, GRINNED, and motioned with his head for the other Hufflepuff to follow. "C'mon!" Toby said cheerfully. He'd have grabbed his hand or sleeve and tugged him along but, you know... loads of ice cream in their hands.

Forrest assisted pouring his syrup onto Tobias' ice-cream like his friend had done for him ("You're welcome!" he added, because manners were important), and then followed her to the super-Slytherin. He wasn't annoyed at all though--his mother had once said suspense made everything more enjoyable and right now it was the suspense-st of his life.

('Suspensest. "HAHAHAHA!"')

He wanted the same treatment as Tobias--the syrup going right down his throat--actually, but he was still too shy to ask. So, he eyed them with interest and held his spoon to eat the ice-cream.

Jake... had been in the room the whole time. Standing. Watching. Judging. Mostly just eating, though. At first he was basically stuffing his face, but he gradually slowed down until he finished his ice cream. With his large bowl of ice cream gone, though, he was now feeling... different. And it wasn't even the amount of food he now had in his previously empty stomach. It was different than he'd felt all term.

He was... empty. That was the only word coming to mind. He stared down at his empty bowl, a gloomy expression on his face. Well. There was no reason to stay any longer, was there?

As he was making his way out of room, though, Anya caught his eye. Thinking that she might help that empty sort of feeling he was having, Jake turned and walked over to her. And the Slytherin she was talking to. He nodded a greeting to him before looking at his girlfriend as she offered Daichi a happy hug.

"Can I have one of those?" His tone, honestly, was pathetic. More pathetic than he'd probably ever sounded. But he really wanted a happy hug from his girlfriend.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Feo slid through the huge double doors and on his tail-less butt and immediately bounced back on his four and started RUNNING everywhere, LICKING everything and just SO MUCH EXCITEMENT in such a little creature.

Meanwhile, Botros walked into the Great Hall late and with a measured smile on his face. An ice-cream party announcement was almost an hour or so ago but he had to wait for the staircases to allow him to climb down, wasn't he? Something was seriously shifty in this school these days! He waved at a couple of familiar students, and headed toward ~~Ethan's wife~~ the headmistress to ask about the contradiction in this hall - happy and excitement but also quiet and solemn...

That was a relief. If he couldn't snake Alice into taking it he could at least just force it on her. Or something. Get Dora to maybe.

But for now he had a Mo being all.... whatever THAT was.

.... West wasn't gonna hug him in public okay?

"....... for a Ravenclaw, you can be really dumb you know." He said, sounding a LITTLE BIT guilty about it. "The syrup is an antidote, okay?"

THINK about it, Branxton.

And West called him really dumb, which was like salt in an open wound. Here, let me poison you and then call you names. It was like Mo's former friend was more and more a stranger every day.

"An antidote against being happy?" He finally did sit up, then, shoving any part of West that was touching him away almost casually. He didn't have energy or desire to shove any harder than that. "Happy is good. I used to be happy all the time, but you seem to be offended by my happiness and keep taking it from me. I dunno what I did to make you so mad that you can't even let me be happy anymore." 'Cause now West had even taken his Cat away. Boo life. Boo West. Boo... everything. Mo shuffled a little until he was facing the wall.

... and people sprawled on the floor. Hmm. Botros changed routes and headed toward Marcus, who was now sitting up at least. "Aw, Marco with a long face? That's something you don't see so often." He noticed Odessa nearby then, and Botros came to stop by the TALL Slytherin (did he just get taller since the start of this term?!) and gave him a shoulder squeeze. "Which flavor do you, boys, recommend?" He eyed the cauldrons, suspiciously.

Feo came trudging toward his owner right then, significantly with a different mood and energy than a few moments before. The Cruppie took his spot by Mo with nothing but a gentle rub against Botros' pants-leg, and curled on himself with his head on the boy's leg.

Well, he may as well get some ice cream. That was why everyone was here, right? Going towards the display, he picked up a small bowl and bit of the marshmallow topping for good measure. Picking up his spoon, he brought it--

He heard his name. Who was it? "Ah Ivy, nice ter see yeh." Truthfully, he was pretty neutral towards the woman. He hadn't really interacted with her at all this year or during the campaign process. He did know that he shouldn't complain or anything around her, but that went for anyone that was on the Board. "Did yeh have a good year teachin'?" She had done it as a favor, after all.

Anya blinked in surprise as her usually very happy boyfriend sulked his way over. Poor thing. Anya happily wrapped her arms around him. "Did you have a bad serving too?" she asked. "Was it the chocolate...?" Because, if so, she'd try the Caramel.

With her arm still around Jake's neck, she scarfed down the rest of her plain ice cream.

SPOILER!!: more of people that I like

Cat wibbled in West's direction some more. Trust him? She was just sad now though, she didn't want to trust anyone, she just wanted to let Alice tug her around and be sad and stuff. "I trust you." Well, it was true, anyway, despite sadness. She had lots and lots of trust in that Odessa who had tricked her with sad-making syrup.

THEN Mo decided to show up and Cat wibbled in his direction too. She eyed his ice cream and shook her head. No more ice cream, maybe for forever. She didn't want anymore. She was basically Cat!rag!doll for a minute with Alice and her tugging and Mo and his handing off ice cream things. When the boys walked away, she watched them leave and... what were they doing? Wrestling? Did she care? A little. She cared a little bit, sure.

Mostly she cared about why Mo was still laying on the ground and looking sad. She didn't want him to be sad TOO.

"Don't eat it, Professor. It's poisonous and the Slytherins are trying to take over the school. They're in cahoots with the dementors to make everyone real sad," Mo sighed and scooted around again to give Botros that sad-faced look. It was tragic, really, because Cupcake girlfriend was a Slytherin.

Plus West was too.

"Feo!" Mo mustered a bit of enthusiasm at the sight of the cruppy, pulling the little dog into his lag and letting himself be slapped around by the tail(s). He forced nuzzling on the dog too. "You're such a good boy."

He saw Girlfriend looking at him, and Mo studied her without comment. She was probably in on this, but she looked SO sad too. Maybe she wasn't in on all this poisoning nonsense the way West was. He held up the cruppy to show her.

"Caterina. Come give Feo some kisses. And me. Both of us deserve them."

Alice was still in the process of dragging Cat to the kitchen for ice cream when she noticed her friend looking over at.. was that Mo and West wrestling? Could she watch? She halted for a second before noticing how sad Cactus looked. He hadn't taken the stuff, had he? She'd TOLD him not to. Boys were such idiots, it was his fault if he was all depressed now.

"You can't have kisses, Cat is coming with ME to get ice cream."

And she was avoiding that weird syrup at all costs.

Without waiting for a response from Mo, Alice grabbed Cat's wrist again and dragged her all the way out of the hall this time. He and Feo would just have to find someone else to kiss for the time being.

There were some deep personal feelings being stirred up here, and memories too, none of which were good for the Headmistress. She looked around at all the happy ice cream eaters and suddenly realized that no one was actually as happy as they had seemed on the surface.

"I just want you to know," she added in a high, thin, strained voice, "I don't like this cure at all. As necessary as it may be." And even that was doubtful to her.

"Dully noted." Hecate said with a satisfied smirk. Yeah, she didn't like it, cause the HEADMISTRESS didn't just save the ENTIRE school.

Yeah... she said it.

...well, thought it anyway...

As she took her own desert, she turned to the other woman. "Marashino cherry?" She offered.

ooc: HOMEWORK IS OVER.

It was nice to see her? She didn't feel very nice to be her right now. Ivy felt a little lost and empty inside. Her shoulders slumped slightly, unlike her normal excellent yet somewhat rigid posture, Ivy blinked at the man.

"I... suppose," she said quietly, distantly. Do you think he would be totally weirded out if she just kind of.... leaned on him? For support? Physical and emotional? She just felt so sad and tired and sad. Sad Ivy is sad.

SPOILER!!: Dylan

Eliza stared right back at Dylan. Really? Allergic? Hm..... She wasn't totally sold on that, but she didn't complain. "Wow, that must be rough stuff, ey? Being allergic? Ah well, here ya go!" She was glad to see him dive right into the syrup just like she had. It made her feel like it hadn't been so weird when she'd done, and maybe even that..maybe he felt comfortable enough to do that? Or no. Maybe just assertive enough. There was a difference. She knew that. But anyway! She was still feeling pretty decent, except for this strange nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach.

That was now crawling up her throat and into her brain. Where It hatched a sad little baby of doubt and slow growing woe that she couldn't seem to shake. What's the deal here? she wondered as she waved goodbye to Dylan and stumbled listlessly over to her other friends.

SPOILER!!: Oh what a world...

He took a deep breath, trying to force some trust for the Healer that he wasn't sure he had. He tried to push the memories of her tricking him aside, focusing on what she had just told him a few minutes ago. Because, really.. she didn't have to tell him anything and he was grateful that she had. Did that prove that he could trust her?

He stuck his spoon towards the Slytherin Captain, noticing the look he was giving his girlfriend. Yes, he knew she was in a terrible state, which was part of the reason he felt he needed to do what he was about to do. He then glanced to Min upon hearing the other boy's words, giving her a tiny, weak smile, then back to Dylan. "She.. she'll be fine.." he said after a bit of hesitation. "I'm making sure of it.. but thanks." He nodded as the syrup was poured onto his spoon, offering him a, "Cheers."

He turned back towards Minerva and tried giving her a bigger smile. "Not poison, see?" He stuck the spoon in his mouth and let the rich, chocolatey taste wash over his tongue before swallowing. He had to admit it was pretty good. "And I'm fine.." He wouldn't get that sadness, right? Not when he didn't need an antidote to the constant elation brought on by the ice cream. But he wished the same was true of her.

Ethan moved a little closer to Min, loosely putting his arm around her and rubbing her back, hoping to make her feel even a little bit better. He soon looked up, hearing a familiar voice addressing the two of them. "Hi, Eliza.." Ethan offered her a sad, small smile. He knew she had been affected by the ice cream as well and would also need to come down with the antidote. He really didn't know how to answer the what was wrong question since the ice cream fanatics were not willing to believe they were poisoned in the first place and needed to be cured in this way. So he remained silent, frowning just a bit as it seemed she was starting to fall pretty hard as well. He watched her sadly as she curled up on the other side of Minerva, then he got up to sit in between them, offering an arm around each. "It's alright, Eliza.. it will be okay." Eventually.. that much he knew, anyway. But it was pretty heartbreaking for the boy to see his two favorite girls in such a sad state.

She just kept her head in her hands crying.. She wanted to leave.. she needed to leave.. It was time to go. So she could be poisoned and live out whatever else this syrup was going to do to her. She heard a voice and looked up. What was wrong. WHAT WAS WRONG... Ethan just hate the poisoned Syrup.. Tillstorm where was she.. unless she was in on it too.. She was standing and following them since the dungeons. Was this extra punishment. "Ethan just...." She couldn't even say the words to Eliza. Just blinked tears at the girl.

Wait.. she was feeling bad... So it wasn't just them to be poisoned. This was a master plan from an evil woman... She was taking out all the students.. probably from every house but her own... She watched as Ethan got up and went in between them...He was so sweet.. She wanted to smile at the warmth he showed Eliza, but her smiling muscle were broken.. it had to be part of the poisony plan. The smile was the first to go.. What was next the mind, the heart? Time would tell..

Even with Ethan between herself and Minerva, she couldn't seem to pull herself from whatever this was. She let her head rest on him as the tears streamed down her face freely now. What is happening? she questioned herself, searching for answers desperately. She hadn't had anything horrible happen and no one had died, that she knew of. All she'd done was eat a little syrup and ice cream and been talking to friends. She hadn't done anything to deserve this.

Except maybe she had. Maybe everything she was feeling was bad karma for something she didn't even know that she had done. Or maybe it was preemptive for something horrible she would do in the future. Can karma be proactive? What? Her head was spinning, drowning in emotions she couldn't explain or wish away. She wanted to be home. She wanted her mom and dad and a big warm blanket. But as soon as she'd thought it, even that didn't seem like it would enough to lift this dreadful haze of anguish. Her chest heaved with several silent sobs.

He tried giving her an encouraging smile. Goodness knew that the woman could need it. For all the happiness that's supposed to be at a party, there sure are a lot of long faces here. Which was... odd. And, come to think of it, the most discouraged looking people seemed to be the ones that had been the most happy all year long. Weeeiiirrrd.

Merlin, that was one of the most depressing-sounding answers he'd heard. First year teaching was rough he knew, but... she sounded like she'd had it worse than normal. "Yeh know what yeh need?" he said cheerily. "Yeh need a hug." And without waiting for her to protest, he enveloped her in an embrace. This is definitely the Hufflepuff side of me coming out, he thought. But.. he couldn't help it. The woman needed it.

What DID she need? Ivy didn't even know, but apparently Alistaire Firth did. And before she could ask what, he had answered and... hugged her.

.... He was hugging her.

.... And she didn't really mind.

In fact, it was actually sort of... comforting. That and she was a too sad to protest, so she just let him hug her. Ivy siiiiighed and kind of sunk into the groundskeeper. Maybe she could just... fall asleep on him. Right there. Community nap time?

Jake wrapped his arms around Anya in a hug. He frowned slightly when she asked him a question and didn't fully understand it. "Oh," he said after a long pause. "I... dunno. I ate a lot..." Ice cream and syrup and other toppings...

"Maybe I just ate too much." He decided with a sad sigh.

He kept an arm around her waist as she ate, not wanting to let go of her. When she was finished, he looked down at her bowl. "How was it?"

**DEMENTORS!** · 07-29-2013, 10:24 PM

Finally. They could complete phase two of their mission and the sweet sweet lure of all these soul was just the cherry on top of the sundae. Eagerly swooping in, the first wave of dementors descended upon all party goers with their hungry rattled breathing.

Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle.

Half the dementors veered to the right to serve as a distraction for the other half who continued to glide forward in search of a specific soul.

So. Distracting. All these souls. So....

Suddenly veering to the left, they fell upon two hugging adults (sarahlooo & hpluvr037) and began making terrifying sucking noises.

Yum yum yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummy.

Anya happily shrugged. "Oh. Well I just won't eat as much as you and I'll be perfectly fine." she said in a nearly sing-song voice. Except... that probably wasn't going to happen. Anya loved ice cream and planned on eating as much as possible.

"Fantassstic. As always." She said looking at her empty bowl. "I'm going to go get more." she announced. She got another serving. This time she topped it off with strawberries and some of her chocolate syrup.

She was on her way back to Jake when she stopped in her tracks. Ba... bah... black. Shadowy...

DEMENTORS!

Her happy elated feeling was slowing being replaced my sadness. Her eyes glanced to her uneaten syrup coated ice cream. Want. But. Effort.

Even the fact that Anya was happy didn't make Jake feel the same. He usually loved it when she was in a good mood and smiling and stuff. But now it really made no difference.

He watched as she walked away and he was left with the Slytherin Prefect. And... he didn't say anything.

Just then, though, he got a sudden cold chill. He frowned to himself, wondering if it was the ice cream, but when he looked over to the side he saw now-familiar black shapes.

Dementors.

Going for the professors that were... hugging?

Jake knew in some part of his brain that he should do something, but most of him just... didn't care. So he looked on for another few seconds then looked away. He didn't want to see what was happening. But... leaving was too much effort. So he just... stood. Where was Anya?

bitsyandtank · 07-29-2013, 11:10 PM

He continued eating his butterbeer ice cream with marshmallow topping, not liking the sad and lonely feelings he was having. If Asher had any idea how many times he would be crying his first year at Hogwarts, he might not have gone.

Just as he was about to take another giant bite, he felt an eerily familiar cold rush over his body. His stomach dropped and his spoon fell to the floor. "Dementors" he whispered. They were everywhere and he didn't see a way out.

Thinking quickly, Asher slid himself under the table and pulled his robes over his little body. His hand was wrapped around his wand and his ears were straining to hear what was happening around him.

hpluvr037 · 07-29-2013, 11:33 PM

Text Cut: Ivy

Oh wow, she seemed to really be appreciating this. Maybe it was the right thing to do after all. Besides. It was suddenly really cold in here. Was that... normal?

Text Cut: DEMENTORS!

And then it got suddenly quiet. Quiet and cold. Wait, he knew what that meant...

As Firth turned around, he barely had time to react. He gripped his wand and gasped, "Expecto... pa.. tronum..."

SPOILER!!: Dementors

Eliza was so busy feeling completely wretched that she didn't even notice the sound of the dementors as they rounded about the room. She simply sat there, still weeping, but now shivering. Her teeth chattered and her breath fogged up around her, but her eyes were shut so tightly she didn't have the slightest clue. As far as she was concerned, the chills were just the icy grip of despair and nothing more.

She rocked herself slightly from side to side not knowing what to do to help herself feel any better. She couldn't even think to be embarrassed by her completely pathetic lack of control over herself. There was nothing she could do.

Bazinga · 07-30-2013, 01:48 AM

Still blinking through her tears looking towards Ethan and Eliza, Minerva shivered. She was crying so much that she was cold? This was just odd, but no that wasn't it at all. She saw the dementors swoop in.. So this was it.. This was the human dementors master plan. Poison the kids and professors so they can't defend themselves and let the dementors have them. Lafay was the reason they were here it was obvious to the sixth year, but she just didn't have the energy to really care anymore. She sniffled and shook weakly at Ethan's robes.

"E...E...Ethan.." was all she could really get out of her mouth. She was already sad and upset, but them being here just heightened the feelings. All the devastation she had been through, all the times she had disappointed and failed people. It was all there and the one she disappointed the most was sitting next to her. She had fought so much with him this term and what did it matter. She was such a failure of a girlfriend. Honestly she was worthless.

She watched just dazed helpless at the dementors. There was nothing she could do.. nothing anyone could do. Lafay poisoned them with her syrup they were helpless. Tears rolled down her face.

As Firth turned around, he barely had time to react. He gripped his wand and gasped, "Expecto... pa.. tronum..."

One of the dementors broke off from the flock and hovered over the man. The sucking noise became even more eager and drawn out as it fed on him. Closer...just a little closer now.

Through the blackness of the dementor's robes, a small ball of light could faintly be seen leaving the man's mouth.

Pucker up, Mr. Groundkeeper. You are about to receive the kiss of a lifetime. Your lifetime that is.

Anya stood a few feet away staring at a dementor hovering near the Groundskeep. ... was... was that sucking that she could hear?

She wasn't quite sure what it meant, but the sound itself terrified the Gryffindor.

She dropped her ice cream to the floor and let out a loud SCREAM.

SOMEBODY! Somebody needed to do something. Someone that wasn't her. Because... she couldn't make a patronus. The most she could do was... alert everyone in a 50 yard radius with her shriek.

The scream caught Jake's attention. As it probably caught the attention of everyone in the room. He somehow knew it was Anya, though. And it gave him enough motivation to locate her and cross the distance to stand by her side.

"Anya," he said quietly, standing behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist. "We should... go. Get out of here." Yeah? Get to moving your feet, Phillips. There was nothing either of them could do to help the professor... Jake couldn't produce a patronus.

Actually... Jake should have probably been ordering everyone to get out of the way of the dementors. But... nobody would listen. There was no use.

Truth be told, Airey was sleeping through most of this. He was just SO tired and his eyes would not open. He did, however, feel the cold that crept through the room and shivered in his sleep, but it was not until Miss Phillips SCREAMED and then the next thing he knew he had toppled out of his seat and on to the floor.

Sorry Medea, LeoBALD, and Miss Hyde. Only not really sorry considering the sight he saw before him.

Despite the tiredness and feeling like gravity just wanted to push him into the ground, Airey was up on his feet and jumped in front of a few students (Anya, Jake, and Eliza) who happened to be close by.

Airey was not a fan of the groundkeeper, but this was not something he would wish on anyone. Fumbling around in his breast pocket for a moment, Airey finally was able to pull his wand out. "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Expecting to see his roadrunner patronus running circles around the dementors, Airey's eyes winded when nothing happened. Not a thing. Not even a wisp of silvery light appeared out the end of his wand.

Panic practically written all over his face now in bright red ink, he turned his head around to look at the students - some frozen in fear and others watching in horror as the dementor performed its kiss. Somehow finding the strength to, Airey bent down and scooped up Miss Dawnsel in his arms.

"GET OUT. NOW."
