CAGED

( Delivered to Stephen and Shoshanna by Ruth Egg )

The choir concert was tonight! There was fake snow! Croaking toads! Beautiful solos! Not to mention free snacks and hot chocolate when it was all over.

There was an assortment of classic carols and newer selections from popular (wizard) bands. Did your character sing or attend? Did they love or hate it? Did your character sing perfectly or mess up? If there were hecklers they would have been removed by Flitwick, but otherwise there were no real disasters. Please, discuss below!

It is time for a DUEL! Amycus wants everyone to put the hard work that they have put into their studies to action :) He split everyone into their pairs and -- time to go! Madam Pomfrey was on hand to deal with any real injuries. But he also helped students with minor ones so that they could keep dueling. This is like a final exam.

And the madness begins.

The Quibblers float in during dinner -- but they aren't like other Quibblers. These are shaped like Christmas paper crowns, the sort you get out of a Christmas cracker. They are all colours and keep repeating "The Ministry wishes you happy holidays!". But when touched by a wand, they instantly turn into a Quibbler.

( Slug Club Holiday Party! )

Who: Lots of people
What: Party for Michael's birthday!!
Where: A classroom!
When: Friday 13th, probably around 5pm
Rating: LET'S KEEP IT PG, FOLKS. (also known as idk, I just wanted to say that)
Status: IC/OOC!

People should please pretend that I remembered to have Lisa invited people earlier! Basically, all of R7 was definitely invited + anyone else who is friends with Michael. She would have went around and invited people personally.

Morag helped with decorations! I'm going to say they commandeered a classroom and there was some food and sweets and Lisa encouraged everyone to sing happy birthday! There was also a cake, because birthdays aren't birthdays without a proper cake, okay? Lisa absolutely had charmed streamers and ribbons to dance about and there were a crap ton of party horns, traditional like that and also ones that made various funny noises.

At some point, she definitely encouraged people to go outside and have snowball fights and probably encouraged them to hit Michael with them, let's be honest. If your character might have been outside, feel free to have them join in, even if you don't think they'd have been invited to the party proper!!

Who: Regina Avery & Daphne Greengrass. Pseudo-cameo by a bewildered Theodore Nott.
What: Daphne finally makes good on one of her kiss threats.
Where: The corridor near Slughorn’s classroom.
When: Thursday, 12 December. Shortly before Potions.
Status: Complete.
