[Warded to Ryan]

I like you
Listen, I have to tell you
Okay so the dance
Ryan
I saw you k

Ryan.

Are you going to the dance with anyone?

WARD TO MARTINA FANNING, DIANA GAM, & ANTONIA PAPADAKIS:
Here comes my favorite part. Marty, you still dead set on skipping out on Winter Formal?
END WARD.

The sign-up sheet is now closed, and it's my favorite time again, i.e. the time I get to make some love matches. Actual love optional. But let me stop wasting your time. Only two days until the dance to get your corsage-to-dress color synched up, after all.

( WAVE YOUR WANDS TO FIND YOUR NAME AND YOUR DATE FOR THE DANCE. )
Again, as always with my matches, I can't guarantee you'll find the love of your life at the Winter Formal. Some people just plain don't have a spark, and that's just fine. But you'll definitely have a memorable time if you go in with an open mind and an open heart. I promise y'all that.

oh my god oh my god oh my god that was the ugliest thing ever my BONE was poking OUT OF MY
I'M TOO CUTE FOR SOMETHING THAT UGLY TO HAPPEN OMG
IS THIS GONNA LEAVE A SCAR???????? I HAVE TO LOOK CUTE IN MY FORMAL DRESS OH MY GOD

DIEGO

WARDED TO ASHER GUTHRIE:
Two questions:
1. Are you going to the formal?
2. Do you have a date?

WARDED TO XAVIER LEWIS:
Two questions:
1. Are you going to the formal?
2. Do you have a date?

WARDED TO REECE DOWNING:
Two questions:

2. Do you have a date?

( Sent during breakfast, delivered by a freshman in Event Committee. )

( Left on Diego's desk while Diego's in Magizoology )

( Left on Diego's bed after lunch )

( Before class, Diego gets some birthday wishes and some birthday gifts from Cecil. )

( Ennis isn't high enough on the food chain to have his own Delivery Freshman. He delivers this to Diego in person at lunch time. )

In the interest of full knowledge, let us examine how many people who were paired in Hartman's matchmaking scheme actually asked to be.

Please reply with this information if you're on the list; I have extrapolated some results, but if I'm wrong, please correct me.

( Not an IC cut. )

[Warded to Drama Club and the cast/crew of A Midsummer Night's Dream]

I'm so sorry about the trees!!! I was just trying to make them look dreamy and ethereal to fit the mood of the play. I don't know what happened! I could have sworn that charm was   BUT don't worry, they're all fixed now, I promise!!

[Warded to Cole]

Thank you for helping me fix my mistake it!! You're a charms GENIUS.

[Warded to Essie]

Did you SEE Bailey's matchmaking???

Happy birthday to all of the people born in the past week. Someone please tell me there's a freshmen born on the 15th and we actually had a straight seven days of birthdays.

[Warded to Junior Ribbonfins]

Ladies, it seems someone had some fun at our boys' expense with the matchmaking pool.

Ribbonmen, how are you feeling about your assigned dates? Open-minded and curious or wanting to dive beneath the covers?

I'm pretty sure everyone in our cabin is attending (Chloe? Marilyn?) so if you need a break from Coralee your date, don't hesitate to seek one of us out.

[Warded to Cricket]
Hey so.

I know you do all your looking into junk about the woods and all the weird stuff around here.

So.

[...]

The other night, I got stuck along one of the trails because of that mistletoe. And I saw something someone in the woods. They had antlers. And they didn't do anything when I talked to them or anything and they just... walked off into the woods before Avery came and got me.

It kind of scared me It seemed weird to bring it up with Wes I tried to go towards them who the hell tries to

I was wondering if we could talk about it, maybe? I just... I figured I should tell someone. You seemed like a good someone?

[Warded to Diana]

So it seems we have been paired by the unendingly magnifcant Wizard of Matchmaking.

I think this is a first. Day after a Grotto party, nobody is heading to quarantine. Score one for Elmasry.


[Warded to Chris]

Two things:

1. I have a date for the dance, that I actually asked.
2. I actually had two people who wanted to be my date.
(Bonus third thing) 3. Can I go hide now?

Man, I'm so psyched. Opening night tomorrow! There's nothing like it!

Though, I guess, it's the final night too. This single performance thing is sort of an emotional rollercoaster. Oh well. It'll be great and at least there's the cast party to look forward to!

Come check it out all you non-theatre-geeks! Your attention sustains us! Plus, we've worked really hard and everything. Aaaand just don't think about the 'love potion' part of the plot too much? Demetrius, you poor son of a bitch.

[Warded to Quinn]

So. Going to bring me flowers tomorrow?

That dress rehearsal was so good! (Except poor Riley getting hurt as she was KILLIN' IT up there) I'm really nervous about tomorrow, still. But mostly excited.

In news loosely related to dresses, am I the only one who has virtually NO idea what to wear???


[Warded to Vic and Hazel]

Dances are hard.

I hope everyone had a good time last night! Happy Birthday to the two birthday boys. And, uh. Sorry for anyone I danced with. I feel like I'm dying right now so maybe that's my punishment for being ridiculous.

This is just a friendly reminder that if you'd like to submit some advice, the clock is ticking! Submit by Saturday night to have your advice included since papers are going out (finally) on Sunday. Better late than never right?

And break a leg tomorrow for anyone in the play! It's going to be great!

Who: Zeke and Di
When: After this.
Where: Outside the Ebonhide Sophomore cabin.
What: Convincing Di it's the right choice.
Warnings: Unlikely.

( A little magic can go a long way. )

( As soon as Diego's alarm goes off... )
