WHO Everyone WHERE the Great Hall. WHEN 12 December; 7:00 to midnight. WHY back to school ball. RATING tbd. STATUS open, incomplete.
The Great Hall had been decked out for the Back to School ball. The theme of the ball, aside from being a Back to School function, was of autumn and mainly September. The teachers had decided that it would help alleviate the students of the normal pressures that accompanied the yearly return to school in the fall. For some, it was an adjustment to get used to while others were used to coming to Hogwarts year after year. With that in mind, the tables that normally lined the Great Hall were vanished. There were tables against the wall for the dance floor to be arranged as the center of the room and circularly shaped. The tables, some of them containing two chairs and others having four or six, had table cloths that were covered in leaves and were scarlet colored.
The ceiling had been charmed to be a sky blue as leaves fell from the ceiling, disappearing before touching the floor. The lighting in the Great Hall was mostly orange, yellow, and red hues to match the colors of the bright leaves that fell. Students started to arrive at seven o'clock sharp and most were amazed with the scene. There were several musical guests in their presences, most of them setting up but music played in the meantime. People were already on the dance floor, which was defined by a circle of small trees, lights hung in the branches that blinked on and off. The stage for performances was oak-colored and a wiarding rock band was already opening for the later guests of the evening.
