EVENT: Valentine's Dance! February 13th

Dinner in the great hall was not only early, but fairly short. Everyone had to be out of the hall by six so that preparations for the party could be made, and when everyone was allowed back in at the start of the party it had transformed entirely.

The large tables normally used for meals now lined two sides of the great hall, holding a great variety of finger foods, drinks, and desserts that would continuously refill throughout the night. The ceiling above still reflected the night sky, but along its edges and throughout the walls were balloons, ribbons, and flowers of vast variety, with the most numerous of the flowers being white, pink, and red roses. All of of the flowers seemed to be emitting just enough light to effectively illuminate the Great Hall, giving it a - for lack of better term - rosey feel. At one corner near where the staff table normally stood was a group of string instruments, charmed into playing a selection of classical dance music as soon as the first students not involved with set-up stepped into the hall.

That was when Tamaki Suoh, a sixth year student and primary organizer of the dance, appeared at the front of the hall, smiling wide and dressed in an ivory-white tuxedo. He waved his wand briefly before he spoke, his voice magically projected with a charm so that he could be heard above any din that might happen with everyone's arrival.

"Welcome, everyone! I'm pleased to present you with our Hogwarts Valentine's Dance, and I hope you enjoy your time here tonight! Feel free to eat, drink, dance, and be merry in a break from studies and winter cold! Also keep in mind the Dance King and Queen contest, which can be anonymously voted for by you, the students, for the final spotlight dance at midnight tonight, as well as a prize of house points to the winners! Now, let the party begin!"

Prompt 1: Desserts, Drinks, and Wallflowers
Perhaps you're taking a break, enjoying the spread, and watching the other students dancing at various paces in different styles on the floor. Maybe you don't intend to go out onto the floor at all, because the chairs at the sides of the hall are just too comfortable or because you don't want to look like that idiot on the left. You know the one. Either way, congregating at the hors d'oeuvres can be a perfectly acceptable way to pass the night.

Prompt 2: Shut up and Dance
It is a dance party, after all! Grab a partner, whether it's ballroom dancing or just doing your own thing! Granted, the latter might get you some funny looks, but who cares as long as you're having fun? The smell of flowers is quite invigorating, the stars of the enchanted ceiling are above, and there's nothing more important than you and whoever your partner is, whether you know them intimately or have only met them for the first time tonight.

Prompt 3: A Breath of Fresh Air
Maybe the party is a little overwhelming, and you need to step away further from the hall than just sitting near the walls. Although no one is really supposed to leave the dance area for an extended period, who will know if you decide to use the loo as an excuse to get away for a few minutes? Maybe you just want to be somewhere more private, either by yourself or with someone else. Be careful not to get caught though, or it might be detention for you!

Prompt 4: "Love" is in the air?
Uh oh! We have no idea who, but someone seems to have spiked one of the punch bowls with a love potion! This potion is scentless and tasteless, and because the punch bowl is huge (and ever refilling) the effects are, thankfully, greatly weakened in comparison to a normal love potion. This little bit of mischief might result in some of the student body (or even some of the faculty) being a little more openly affectionate than usual with the first person they meet for the night, so a little bit of caution might be necessary. At least it's not at full potency!

Prompt 5: A moment in time that lasts forever!
A professional photographer has been hired to take pictures of students throughout the night! Although it might not be the last memory of the school year, it could be a night you want to cherish forever even if it’s just in a photograph! Is a photo an embarrassing moment or a precious time captured on a special slip of paper?

Prompt 6: Write your own Love Story!
Come up with your own prompts and have a ball AT the ball!

OoC: A note, there will be separate threads for Dance King/Queen contest sign-ups, as well as a contest for best-dressed and an attendance register that will be used to award a door prize drawn by lottery! The prizes are as follows; 50 House Points to 1st place, 25 to 2nd place, and 10 to 3rd place in their respective contests, and a 20 galleon gift receipt for Honeydukes (courtesy of Tamaki pulling some strings with the owner) as a door prize!

There will be a thread below for students to vote on Dance King/Queen, and the best dressed will be decided by members of staff specifically. RNG will be used to determine the door prize. Alright, have fun guys!

A NOTE ABOUT DANCE KING/QUEEN: Although the titles are gendered, who can be entered into each category is not! A boy can be the queen, a girl can be the king, and any combination can happen. The only limitation is that there will be two winners selected from the entrants in the contest!

Prompt 1

[As always Terra is here to supervise the dance. She is happy to see that it's going well however her position as a teacher keeps her along the wall with her eyes on the students. She's wearing a beautiful floor length red dress with her mint green hair styled in a lose bun on her head. Soft curls have broken free of her hair tie and have fallen down to frame the gentle curve of her cheeks.

She isn't opposed to dancing or getting something to eat however her eyes remain on the students through out the night.]

[Feel free to hit up Terra where ever.]

[He's stepping down from the dancefloor, when he notices Terra standing a few feet away from him and he raises his hand in greeting, walking over to her.]

Good evening. How's chaperoning going?

[He jokes, knowing they're both here for the same thing - to supervise.]
greenmagick: (Beautiful)

[Terra smiles at her friend with a bright warm smile.]

I haven't had to pull anyone away yet.

[She lingers on the word yet as if expecting just that. However Terra is smiling and her voice is light.]

I'm happy the students are enjoying themselves. Are you too?
fireredspear: (smirk)

[personal profile] fireredspear 2016-02-17 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sano chuckles, taking note of the accent on the word ‘yet’. Well, she’s probably right. This was Hogwarts after all.]

I’m sure the evening will go smoothly. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.

[He grins and nods at her question.]

Much! I’m sure I mentioned this before, but I enjoy dancing. Though, I probably should pay more attention my actual work here.

[He adds with a small laugh.]

[personal profile] greenmagick 2016-02-21 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you are able to enjoy yourself.

[She smiles.]

Everyone needs a break.

[Though Terra doesn't seem to be including herself into that.]
fireredspear: (sultry)

[personal profile] fireredspear 2016-02-21 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
That’s right.

[He returns her smile, looking at her knowingly.]

You should get one as well. I’m sure some of the professors would love to get a dance with you.

[Him including, but if he’s read the signs right, there’s someone else she’d rather dance with than him.]
greenmagick: (You mean me?)

[Terra shakes her head.]

I'm afraid that I've had none interested in dancing with me.

[Which she's okay with though dancing does seem like fun.]
fireredspear: (wut?)

[personal profile] fireredspear 2016-02-24 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sano’s eyes widen with surprise. Huh? What? Why?!]

That can’t be true!

[He hasn’t invited her to dance, because he had thought she was booked the entire night! This had to get fixed. No way he’s letting a friend stand alone, when everyone’s dancing. Extending his hand with a small bow, he grins at her.]

In that case, I’d be thrilled to have this dance.

[Terra smiles at him.]

You don't have to...

[She lightly rests her palm on Sano's hand as if to lower it.]

I'm alright without dancing.

[Aidou wondered around, full awake for a change and holding a glass of punch in his hand. So far he didn't need to drink it, it was just there for when he got thirsty. His eyes looked over the various students and watching them dance before his eyes looked on over toward a rather familiar face. Giving a cheery like expression he started to head over.]

Hey there~! Are you enjoying the dance, my little lady in red?
greenmagick: (I am me)

[personal profile] greenmagick 2016-02-16 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Terra smiles at Aidou finding his demeanor charming among the Valentine's setting. She feels like it suits him.]

I am and you?

[She notes his smile and his dress as she takes a sip of her own drink.]
controlstheice: (Sparkle | I can do it to)

Wild Card

[personal profile] controlstheice 2016-02-17 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I am enjoying it very much. After all seeing such beautiful faces brings a smile to my face and seeing people so happy just brings joy to my soul.

[He knew he was being somewhat cheesy, but he knew the girls liked it at least. So why not keep it up for the time being. However right now, he took a sip of the punch. It was pretty good, but he had better before.]

Just like seeing you before me this party is magical~
greenmagick: (Not really happy)

[Terra smiles but she doesn't seem overly impressed by the change in character.]

Thank you.

There are many lovely dresses here.

[She agrees softly.]
controlstheice: (Smile | Good for you)

[He nursed the drink he still had for a moment, he could agree there were a lot of lovely dresses here. They did seem to have to judge on that, so he could really pay more attention.]

There is, just like there are many suits that are pretty wonderful. Do you have a favourite in particular?
greenmagick: (You mean me?)

I don't know. There was a small boy that looked cute. I prefer simple designs.

Simple is good if it's pulled off well.

[He didn't have much when it came to the outfits he wore for the most part.]

By that I mean suits a person in the right ways.

I think your outfit suits you as well.

Thank you. Part of being an aristocrat is having to make sure you dress for the occasion.

[He adjusted his tie for a moment before looking at the dance floor.]

Which reminds me, I want to ask you for at least one dance tonight if that is okay?

[Terra looks out at the dance floor, her expression unsure at first. After a moment she smiles.]

I'd love too.

[He moves, holding out his hand slightly for her to take.]

Then shall we?
greenmagick: (fancy oh)

Wild Card

[personal profile] greenmagick 2016-02-24 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[Terra nods her head and then lightly places her hand on his. Her other hand gathers the collection of red silk in her hand pulling her skirts from the ground so she might step onto the dance floor.

Her movements are agile and graceful as she moves.]
controlstheice: (Stare | I'm watching you)

[He guided her to the dance floor, his hand lightly grasping hers until he turned to face her. Once hand within hers and the other lightly placed upon her waist. That was simple enough at least as he soon started to twirl her around, his steps going in rhythm and his body leading the way.]

[Terra feels her lips curl into a smile as she steps close to him and then spins away. She returns, a light pink slowly creeping up her cheeks as they step gracefully across the dance floor.

She doesn't know a lot about dancing but she doesn't know how to follow.]
controlstheice: (Glance | Sometimes I wonder)

[He made sure to lead as best as he could before he slowed down a little bit, the song had started to end, as soon as the music stopped be moved to let go.]

That was fun, wasn't it?
greenmagick: (Not really happy)

[personal profile] greenmagick 2016-02-28 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Terra smiles feeling her cheeks flush.]
