Who: Potter and Longbottom families, OotP, DA, Friends, etc. When: Tonight Where: Sirius’ House, Nottingham What: Harry and Neville’s Birthday Party Rating: TBA Status: IC/OOC, Open to invitees
Tonight at 7:30 is the joint Birthday party for Harry and for Neville. Order members, Friends, Family, and the DA were all invited, so if you think you were invited then you probably were. The invitations people received came with directions to portkey instructions, since no one will be able to apparate into the grounds. Order members can apparate into the detached garage.
Sirius’ house is sprawling, with a lot of room, and relatively isolated. The majority of the party will be held inside the house, but there’s also some seating and things outside - the strongest wards are inside the house, though. Also, Order members will be keeping an eye on things outside.
There will be a gift table, and lots and lots of food and non-alcoholic drinks. At cake time there’s a very large Gryffindor cake for the both of them, big enough to feed everyone at the party and then some. They’ve also set up a less-kiddie-centric mini-party for the adults in the garage so they can get drinks in shifts as they keep watch and let the kids have their own fun.
After everyone gets there, Harry will try to put together a pick-up Quidditch game and a few broom races. He’ll play Seeker for one team, obviously, but all other positions are up for grabs, and if there are a lot of people wanting to play Harry will trade out his position after a while! I think at some point too the Twins are planning a fireworks show.
There’s a lot of Gryffindor decorations, plus some faux vines and plant related decoration by Alice for Neville. There is also a wall with baby pictures of Neville and Harry, traumatically embarrassing to both boys and including a lot of naked baby butt shots. Harry didn’t want me to mention that part. Ahem: Neville and Harry.
After the party there will be an Order meeting, which I’ll put up in another thread.
So, who was there, what did you wear, what did you do, did you bring gifts? Use this IC/OOC post as a jumping off point for your own interactions. You can either start things here in new threads, or set up your own threads set at the party.
