"I'm just a little emotional... Hogwarts has meant so much to me this past year.. this must sound silly.." Elsa blinked the tears away "I'm Elsa!". |
"Hello Tia," said Kitty, waving to the head girl. Even though she didn't know her that well, she felt sad knowing that she wouldn't be coming back to Hogwarts next year. If Kitty had had her way everyone would be at Hogwarts forever. "It was fun working with you in Potions," she said, smiling. Of course it hadn't really been fun, since they had poisoned each other without an antidote. "Are you going to work at the Ministry?" She was just trying to make conversation with someone who she didn't know when she would see again. Katherine also got a friendly wave when she sat down farther away, as Kitty was too distracted by talking to her friends to realize that Katherine was in a bad mood. Then they were joined by a first year Slytherin with cool hair who Kitty recognized from classes but who she didn't know. Kitty was touched when she said that she would even miss the strangers. Hearing her introduce herself as Elsa, Kitty stood and approached her. "Hi Else," she said, smiling and holding out her extremely pale hand to the Slytherin. "I'm Kitty DuGray Valentine but you can call me Kitty for short. I'm Gothic, in case you were wondering why I have pale makeup and dark eyeliner. I really love your hair." "Ooh, I love Merlin too," replied Kitty to Rachel, smiling as she remembered Draper's dog. "I'll come visit him with you if you get permission, and you can always play with my worms whenever you want." "Thanks," said Kitty, smiling at Mel as she complimented her dueling. "But I lost all three of my duels, so you would probably be a better partner to me than I would be to you." She did feel disappointed about not winning even one duel, but she tried to hide it. "Did you like my costume?" She smiled slyly. |
*giggle* Oooooooooooooh yes. The peas of resistance! Or was that...pièce de résistance....Miffy rather thought she preferred to think of peas right now. Glue in tow, Miffy took NO time pouring it over the little triumphant birdies and could NOT WAIT for them to see the surprise her Peevsie had for them. IT WAS HILARIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUS "OOPSIES!" Her wild eyes snapped to the staff table. Why YES...she did think so! *giggle* AWAY SHE WENT! |

SPOILER!!: speech and Miffy :O Hearing the headmistress up at the dais, Tia turned her attention up there as Moxley gave a few words to which Tia grinned about. But when she said shout out to the Eagles of Ravenclaw, the seventh year felt the urge to lead a standup ovation for her house and how hard they worked. Maybe it was the food appearing or the glow from Ravenclaw's win after seventeen years, but the giggle from behind her was barely noticed. It wasn't until she felt something DRIP from above. SOMETHING STICKY! Not honey. Not syrup. "Everyone, don't look up!" Last thing she needed was her eaglets ingesting glue. |
SPOILER!!: Kitty Emotions. Emotions all over. It was like elementary muggle school all over again. If her mother saw her now, she would think someone died. She shook the pale girl's hand timidly. This girl was different. Her skin was paler than average and she used dark eyeliner. So fancy. Elsa blinked a few times oggling Kitty with interest. "Gothic? Never met a Gothic before" Elsa mused before deep pink color crept towards her cheeks making her flush at the girl's compliment to her head. "Oh thank you" she answered flustered. Another nice person! Hogwarts was full of them and now she had to go home and all these people would forget her over the summer doing cool things like hiding from the sun in a coffin. The pout returned to Elsa's lips. "Is it always this hard? Saying goodbye to a term? When I first arrived I wished for nothing more than to leave for the first days.. since I knew no one and wasn't used even to the weather. I moved here from Portugal just this year you know?" now she was babbling. Great. But something about Kitty's laid back posture and sweet atitude towards her made Elsa feel at ease talking to her SPOILER!!: Miffy the Poltergal Elsa was about to open her mouth to continue rambling when something fell on her head. There are no birds inside the great hall are there, because I swear if another bird pooped on my head... she thought angrily while she poked the substance sticking to her hair in horror, discovering not only by the texture but also by the smell that it was glue. GLUE! Someone, or better, SOMETHING was pouring glue over the students head. "MIFFY!!!!" Elsa screamed in panic. Glue in my hair, glue in my hair, glue in my hair, glue in my hair!!! Nearby another student warned them not to look up in order to avoid glue in the eyes and Elsa was quick to oblige, keeping her gaze down and shielding her face at the same time as she tried to remove the glue form her head but ended up spreading it deeper into her scalp and hands. Merlin have mercy... |
And now for their grand finale. Peeves followed Miffy over to the Ravenclaw table, not even trying to contain his laughter. Yes, this was going to be the best! "Of course you need feathers to mark the occasion!" he yelled at the students assembled at the table. Why it was once in a lifetime that these students could win anything. Time to celebrate! "You don't look nearly RAVENclaw enough!!" Peeves cackled as he dumped his RAVEN feathers all over the glue-soaked students. Nevermind that they thought of themselves as "eagles." Juuuust a technicality! "Muuuuch better!" He flew back and admired his and Miffy's handiwork. "CAW, CAW, LITTLE BIRDIES!" HEHEHE. Wait. Where was Miffy going? His eyes snapped up to the staff table. AWW YISSS. |
Text Cut: Mason Helena drifted in place as the seats at the Ravenclaw table slowly filled up with eagles of varying ages. Hearing her name, she turned her grey gaze to look at a girl in the Baron's green and bronze robes. Inclining her head towards the girl a thin smile pursing her lips. "Good evening Ms Stevens, I wish you a pleasant visit at the eagle table." Text Cut: Rachel Young Rachel, was a ray of sunshine. Returning the ickle's smile with a happy one of her own Helena said "Your welcome dear, I'm certain Mr Kitridge is very proud too, and will be along after Headmistress Moxley's speech to tell you just how proud he is." Here the Grey Lady paused to turn her head to look at the staff dais for a moment before she turned to Rachel again. "Have you got any plans for the summer?" Text Cut: Esme It seemed that Mason wasn't the only visitor at the eagle table on this glorious feast night. Floating closer to the girl in yellow and black badger robes Helena smiled thinly "Good evening Ms Darcy, I wish you a pleasant visit at the eagle table. I feel splendidly, thank you for asking. How do you feel? Excited for summer vacation to start?" Text Cut: Kitty While talking to Esme she had unconsciously kept floating forwards as they conversed and by accident she floated right through young Kitty Valentine. Noticing what she had done Helena blushed slightly and apologized trying to restore some face. "I'm so sorry Kitty. I didn't mean to do that. Thanks for the kinds words though. You have showed this year that you are on the path to become an exceptional witch too." Text Cut: Katherine Floating down towards the end of the table, Helena stopped to hover in front of young miss Moss who had brought a book with her to the feast. "Brewing potions I always liked, but not as much as transfigurations." Would Katherine answer or continue to read that was the question. Text Cut: The pranksters Helena was debating whether to float back to her usual spot since most greetings were responded to when she heard that ghastly giggle which was followed by something sticky that fell from the ceiling and went straight through her along with feathers that irritated her nose. "Atchooo!" Helena sneezed before looking around at the mess and the culprits: Peeves and his new girl Miffylina or something like that. Text Cut: TiaMarie & Thornton Turning to the prefects present, Helena snapped out orders. Someone had to take action before chaos broke loose. "Tia Marie, get everyone to cast shield charms to protect themselves and their clothes! Nobody needs to get their hair full of that sticky feather substance." Looking over at Thornton whom Helena guessed was trying to avoid someone, she ordered. "Thornton, go up to the staff dais and get HoH Kitridge. We need his assistance in removing the mess around here, or none of you will be able to enjoy the rest of your delicious feast food." Helena sadly couldn't help with the removing but she could lead the clean up. |
*joins standing ovation for Headmisstress speech* Kitty listened as Tia talked about her after school plans. "I'm going to miss you even though I didn't knw you much," she said once she wad done. "But it's cool that you are going to Australia and the University." The idea just occurred to her right now, but she embraced it. Now she would know what she could tell her mom when she asked her what she was going to do after leaving Hogwarts. "It's okay, I don't mind you going through me," replied Kitty to the Grey Lady with a shiver as she accidentally passed through her. "And thank you," she smiled as she told her she was on a path to becoming a great witch. "I can't believe that I was one of the top five Ravenclaw point earners this year!" Gone was her extreme shyness that had accompanied her to Hogwarts at the start of the year and last year. Now she part of a team and family, and was one of the top point earners. She cocked her head to the side curiously when Elsa told her she had never met a Gothic before. "Oh? Neither have I. We are kind of rare. But have you heard of Gothic people before? Don't listen to the rubbish stereotypes about how we are evil or sadistic, none of it is true. I wear black and use pale makeup because that is how I express myself and I like the look. It's a personal style just like your hair. See my nails?" And she put her hands gently in Elsa's hands so she could see her long, black nails. "They are also part of being Gothic, but usually people don't notice them." She nodded sympathetically when Elsa asked if it was always hard. "Well this is the first year that I've made friends, and yeah it is hard having to say goodbye. But we are all coming back next year and some of them have given me permission to write to them over the summer. Even if we are far I can still keep in contact. We have something in common, because while you used to live in Portugal I used to live in Romania." Which prompted her to ask "Hey Elsa, would you want to write to me this summer? You're an interesting person and I would love to know more about you. We could be friends if having a - " But whatever she was about to say was interrupted when Miffy, Peeves girlfriend and partner in crime, splattered her raven black hair with glue. "GAAAAA!!!!" And then Peeves sprinkled feathers all over them. "Protego!" she squeaked, pulling her wand out and trying to cast a shield over her and Elsa. Now she was enraged. Normally Kitty was sweet and agreeable, but messing with her makeup and appearance was one of the few things that could drive her crazy. Every time. That was the THIRD time this year that Peeves had pranked her: The first time by throwing food at them in the library, the second time during Charms, and now this. And Miffy had poisoned her during potions by ruining the antidote. So Kitty pulled out her wand and charged after the two as they headed off to the Staff Table. |

After the disaster of the opening feast, Sam quickly figured that not looking up probably equated to not wanting to be up, regardless of the reason. Mash, peas or otherwise. So she did the only logical thing, and quickly crawled under the table, yanking her plate down with her. Nothing was going to ruin this feast for her. Nothing. |

Though, that would probably look bad and he had to be paying attention to..... SPOILER!!: miffy and peeves Thornton's thoughts were interrupted by a big glob of glue plopping right down on his head. As it oozed through his hair and down his forehead, Thornton closed his eyes and took a deep, deep breath. As the feathers hit, he could feel them sticking and it took everything he had in him not to just walk out of the room. He had responsibilities... He could hear TiaMarie giving directions not to look up, and he was sure someone would start charming soon enough. But for the moment, the Ravenclaw prefect was... well.. glued and feathered. SPOILER!!: grey lady He only opened his eyes when he heard her voice and he did his best not to wince that he'd been spotted. "Yes, of course," he responded, as he stood, his shoulders somewhat slumped. Of course he'd sat as far away from the dias as possible, because now, he had to walk the entire length of the Hall. Perfect. |
It wasn’t like Mel was blushing after hearing Rachel’s comment. “Rachel thank you…honestly I wouldn’t have been half as good if I hadn’t practiced a lot and well…” she chewed her lip debating spilling the real reason. “Using my siblings textbooks…it’s the perk of having family go to the school before you…sometimes there are notes on how to cast the spells” she admitted with a little grin. Oh…and she would practice wandless magic over summers just the incanttions and the movement with a simple stick…that made it so much easier. Less practice time needed and everything and so much easier…Mel gave Katherine a small smile before returning her attention to Rachel. “Rachel c’mon we’ll have to like practice over summer…like with a simple twig and just the wand movements” she nodded. See. There was a method. Oh my god. Draper. Of course she was laughing at this and grinning to Elsa. “Oh I don’t blame you…Elsa? That’s a really neat name!” Mel grinned before giving Kitty another small smile. “I love it Kitty, you always look so unique and fun and its so…uplifting?” She meant it too. Even if her outfits were sometimes on the grim side it was something that always made Mel feel well welcome to just be her own unique little self. “Kitty! We should so meet up over summer and try and work on duels and things even fake them and just have fun?” She offered…”or just get ice cream” she added. Really she wanted to get ice cream with all of the girls. And Tia, of course she got a smile for that. “I plan on it Miss Tia,” she grinned over to the headgirl. Aaaaaaand then there was the Poltergal….”hey….wait should we Skurge her?” Mel offered looking around at the people near her getting her wand at the ready….because no way was she going to have yet even more glue on her….Mel looked over to the Grey Lady and grinned. “Hello Miss Ravenclaw,” Mel smiled to the ghost lady. “Have you had a nice year?” she asked kindly, “any ghostly summer plans?” yep, small talk with the house ghost that knew her own sisters. |
RAVENCLAW HAD WON THE HOUSE CUP! Not only had they won the house cup, but they had also won the gobstones cup. It was so exciting to actually win for once. Penelope walked over to an end of the table where everyone would be able to see her. "Congratulations to all of the Ravenclaws for winning the house cup and the gobstones championship! I'm proud of all of you. Without the effort put in by everyone, Ravenclaw wouldn't have been able to win." Because of the events at the start of term feast, Penelope had cast an impervious charm on her robes before coming downstairs to the great hall. If they were lucky, nothing horrible would happen. She found a seat at the table near Tia. "Hi Tia. It's been wonderful to work with you and get to know you this year, and I think you will accomplish amazing things in the future." Tia had inspired Penelope to think more about what sort of things she wanted to do after her own graduation. After the headmistress' speech, Penelope put food on her plate and started to eat. Penelope was planning on finding Haddie and some of the other first years to congratulate them on completing their first year. So far, so good. No food fights or horrible disasters. The peace and quiet did not last long, however, as there were soon poltergeists descending upon the Ravenclaws with glue and feathers. Penelope felt something wet land on her head. What was that? She looked up to see Peeves and his girlfriend pouring glue on everyone. There were feathers in her food. More importantly, there were feathers glued in her hair. GLUED. IN. HER. HAIR. It was going to take a lot of conditioner and combing to unglue those feathers. She was not amused at all by this prank, but she wasn't going to give the poltergeists the satisfaction of a dramatic reaction. Remaining calm and temporarily ignoring her hair emergency, Penelope stood up and pulled her wand out of her robe pocket. Penelope cast shield charms around the table to protect the Ravenclaws from any further attacks. "Protego!" The shield had probably gone up too late to spare people from being covered in glue and feathers, but it at least provided a sense of security. Maybe she should make a shield around the table at every feast. Looked like Thornton was getting Mr. Kitridge. "Is everyone alright? Does anyone need help?" She needed to make sure that her eagles were okay. |
Elsa understood what Kitty was talking about. People often had the wrong idea about people because they were different. The same happened between muggles and wizards. Elsa's eyes landed on Kitty's hands and she released an excited squeal of joy. Black nails, that was SO COOL! "Woaaaaah!" Elsa pulled one of Kitty's hands closer to her eyes, and studied it carefully "My hair is nothing special compared to your awesome black nails! Now I want to paint mine too!" she moaned looking down at her own chewed off nails. Gross. The other girl, Mel was also very nice, and Elsa felt the weight that just moments ago zoomed over her head lift up while she talked to both girls "Thank you Mel! Did you know that there is a muggle animation with a character named Elsa? My Portuguese Muggle friends gave me an earful of some silly song about snow" she said between giggles. This Kitty was full of surprises, she was Romanian? "Really, that's amazing, we should have met earlier in the year!" Elsa's grin was so wide over her cheeks that her lips threatened to burst open. Ooooh, getting ice-cream and training during the holidays would be a-ma-zing! "Such a lovely idea Mel! I'd love to join you if I can!" she exclaimed, offering herself up to join them even though technically she wasn't invited. Then Kitty was about say something about them owling each other over the summer when all hell broke loose. Poltergeists and glue and now, after Elsa attempted to run from it.. the feathers. This day just kept getting better. Or not. She looked in horror to Mel and Kitty, head covered in glue, feathers sticking everywhere even though Kitty tried to shield them both. But even before Elsa gathered herself enough to be mad at what just happened, Kitty stormed out of the table, hand in wrist, directly to the Staff Table. "Kitty, wait!!!" Elsa exclaimed, running after her new friend. |
TiaMarie! Now for the Ravenclaws. His old house. Sigh. This table brought back such memories. He was still covered in feathers, probably still looked crazy, and he would probably don a tutu soon to match James, so his colleague didn't feel as embarrassed, assuming James could get embarrassed. Heh! He had to find the seventh years! His first target, of course, was the headgirl. Where was she, anyways? He spotted her! He approached from across the way, waving eagerly, and smiling broadly. "Tia! It is so lovely to see you tonight! I hope you're enjoying the food..." assuming she didn't mind a few feathers? But he pulled a flower from his basket and handed it over. "This is for you, m'dear. I hope you have a wonderful summer and a successful life. It has been a pleasure to be your professor." Sniffle. |
Bernie, Freckles, and Drapes...oh my! and Penny SPOILER!!: canary chain gang Haddie grinned. "Well, from now on, I'm calling you Bernie!" She perked up way too much saying that, which likely meant this was thing that was happening now. "Convince Dad to let me come back to Hogwarts and hang out with you and Rachel all the time." Those were all the summer plans she needed, thank you very much. Hadley cocked an eyebrow at Bernie. It's so a thing now. "The mall?" She decided to just go with it. "Okay, we can do the mall. Nat and I are good at malling." She heard Freckles' catchphrase the second she'd cast the spell, and struggled to suppress a grin. Can't look guilty right now. "Praise me, endless, of course." She loved that question. Rachel asked it so often, it was like a catchphrase. Also Hads had started to think up responses to it. She was up to 112 and counting. And... Moxxy was giving the speech. But Hadley only had eyes for Drapes at that moment. Did her spell hit? She was sure she had the aim spot on, but she hadn't been looking at him when she cast it. That would have been TOO obvious. Maybe he dropped something and bent down to pick it up when she hadn't been looking? Maybe she should cast it a...did...did his goblet almost fall over? And then it happened. Her spell had hit, and there was both an upside and a downside to it. The upside: IT WAS GLORIOUS! Better than she had hoped. He was twirling and wearing a...tutu!? DID PROFESSOR MYERS JUST GIVE DRAPES A PINK TUTU!? By the way he was fleeing from the CoMC Professor, it had to be him. Professor Myers was a HERO! He was HER hero. She wasn't even upset when Mr. Kitridge ended it all too soon. Although it was a reminder of how Ravenclaw was the house she should be in least. Maybe she could hex that stupid sorting hat next term, if she was back for it. Then there was the downside. Hadley was distracted. Her sides ached from laughing so hard. Even as hungry as she was, the appearance of food wasn't enough to pull her way from the scene. She never saw the poltergeists coming. She did, however, hear Tia warn everyone not to look up. A nice gesture in theory, but it was simple psychology. Tell someone, out of the blue, not to look, and almost on reflex they look. Haddie looked up. Just in time to get a face full of glue. Her forehead, hair and shoulder took the brunt of it, but that didn't mean the rest of her face, and neck and arms, and FOOD! wasn't hit with its fair share. And then, as she was still reeling from the fly by gluing, not moving an inch as she tried to keep the glue out of her eyes, she got a face full of feathers. Karma was mean! Quote:

This isn't decades late NOPE Quote:
However, because she was a ghost and the ghost of her house, Katherine looked up politely. "I like all of the classes," she said, and returned back to her book. End of discussion, dear ghost. Quote:
That stupid nickname for the millionth time this year. Katherine had consciously decided a lot of things over the last few days, and giving the answer they deserve to and/or ignoring the people that didn't respect her was the top thing on her list. So when she heard the rest of the sentence she just shrugged. She had no intention whatsoever to engage in a stupid conversation with her right now, and she didn't really care what Haddie was going to do, either. She was going to focus on herself solely from now on, although... she couldn't help but think that she wasn't really surprised. Haddie was probably kicked out or something. Served the troublemaker right. As she didn't look up even once from her book, she completely missed Kitty and Rachel's smiles and waves at her. It didn't matter anyway, as the girls weren't her friends. Barely anyone was her friend, but it didn't matter. She took a deep breath and turned the page . . . The poltergeists... happened... and... they... were... throwing... things... Nooooooooooooope, she didn't need any of this right now, so she quickly closed her book, grabbed her bag and left the Great Hall to never return to her first ever End of Term Feast, which should have been Ravenclaw's celebration but succumbed to chaos again because of the stupid poltergeists. |
