RP: Party!
Who: Everyone!
When: 8pm onward, 13 March
Where: The Room of Requirement
What:PARTY!

The Room of Requirement has been set-up for a lively party. There's food (and cake!) thanks to the House-elves, and a surprisingly generous assortment of alcohol. Kirley has rigged up a music system to play a variety of music (heavy on the Weird Sisters obviously, but the RoR had a bunch of albums that had been left by various students throughout the ages so there's an eclectic mix). A dance space has been cleared, and there are little sitting areas arranged for more private moments--lots of cushions and pillows strewn about to make little nests, some squashy armchairs, etc. It's very clearly been sourced from all over the castle, and from items that had been left by students/faculty/professors through decades so the styles are all over the place. Kirley says it's not the Bubble Palace, but it's the best he could do on short notice.

Regulus couldn't believe that he was voluntarily going to a party wit Gryffindors. This was nothing like the parties he was used to. There were no elegant robes, no classical music, no traditional dances. In fact dancing looked a lot like jumping in place. This was not what he liked.

He scanned the room for signs of people who wouldn't appreciate the jumping around. There wasn't anyone he knew but there was another slytherin.

"You are Theo, right?" he said as he got something to drink (not alcoholic, because he had his limit with some wine with dinner). "Regulus Black," he added, although everyone knew every name. Introductions were still good manners. "How are you enjoying this new world?"

Theodore had hoped the party would be large loud and busy and it didnt disappoint. He passed through the crowd heading to get himself a drink first, before finding a place off to the side of the dance floor. Parties were not typically his thing, but it was socially acceptable drinking and that was enough reason. It wasnt healthy to be alone too much, even if at times it was easy.

He thought the music was good, but it was bound to be given the host of the event. He didnt know many of the songs, a few only here and there. But he did like the warm flush of heat the alcohol in his drink afforded him and the feeling of the pulsing rhythm of the music coarsing through his body.

In all the commotion he hasn't noticed Regulus first, not until he had spoke. Theodore naturally knew who Regulus Black was, but it was pleasant to finally put a face to the name. "Not all that new, but with some room for improvement," he said with a small smile. "Far less drastic a change for myself as for you I would imagine," he said glancing at the people who had gathered to dance. "The future seems to be very animated."

"I suppose it's hard to be new when there are so many old timers creating it," Regulus answered with a smile. It'd be pretty impossible for them to forget their prejudices no matter what they were saying.

"I don't know that any of us are feeling it when we are surrounded by people who come from our times and no one else to show us differently. The big test will come when we start dealing with the international community," he said thinking about it. "They have decades of new spells and changing norms that we'll need to adapt to."

Regulus chuckled. "We are living in a bubble, aren't we? I don't know if it's animated or we know that if we don't find some good, we'll go crazy."

Roxanne & OPEN

2021-03-13 04:59 pm UTC (link)

Finally. Something fun was happening. Not that Roxanne wanted to talk badly of her uncles and the rest, but man this place was a downer. Perhaps that's what happened when a load of dead people got together. Or should-be dead people, anyway.

Having wandered into the room with a box of (more or less) fixed fireworks under her arm, Roxanne had dropped them off and promptly wandered off in search of a drink. Ideally something sugar filled and fruity - it was a party, after all. Of course, the selection wasn't quite London bar standard, but it was better than she'd expected. She was able to create some kind of concoction that was vaguely drinkable, anyway.

Taking a sip of her bright red drink and vaguely wondering where the tiny umbrellas were at, Roxanne stepped away from the drinks table and looked around. Her dark gaze landed on a chair with an elaborate high back and carved feet and arms. That would do. Bounding over to it, she draped herself over the worn seat and helped herself to another gulp from her glass as she scanned the gathering crowd.

Scorpius wasn't in the mood for a party, despite the fact that he loved parties in general. It reminded him of all the things he had just lost. All the people he had lost. Too many friends weren't here and the people who were here had a very different mentality. However, the alternative to a party was sulking in his room and he certainly didn't want to do that either.

He was staying close to the bar and was going for a refill when he saw Roxanne sitting there. He walked over and transfigured a pillow into a chair to match hers and sat down next to her.

"So who are we looking at?" he asked as if this were a normal party. "I was going to a party at Al's when this happened."

Rox grinned at Scorpius as he plonked himself down next to her. She was glad that there were some people here who were borderline normal at any rate. She'd go mental if she'd been here on her own with the class of the 20th century.

"Right now? I'm wondering how Sirius Black reckons he's going to get Hermione to... oh, never mind." She'd just spotted her Aunt being dragged out onto the dance floor. Flicking her attention back to Scorpius, she sent him another smirk.

"At Al's? Was I going to be there? Hey, try this," she shoved her drink in his direction happily. "Its disgusting."

Lounging back in her seat, one leg hooked over the arm, Roxanne examined the room again. "So how do you reckon this compares to Al's party, then?"

James & OPEN

2021-03-13 05:01 pm UTC (link)

Merlin, when was the last time he'd been to a party? Despite his and Sirius' many attempts to 'liven up' numerous Order meetings, it might even have been his wedding. Well, that wasn't at all depressing...

He didn't recognise the music playing, but it seemed to at least do the job of getting people moving. James nudged his way through a gaggle of people, scanning the room for Sirius or Remus. Merlin knew where they'd gotten to. You'd think it would be easy to find a werewolf and a hyperactive dog in a castle of about a dozen people, but nope... the sooner they got that map sorted the better.

Stopping at the drinks station to grab a warm beer (bottled, which was never quite as good), James used his wand to siphon off the cap and raised it to his lips, still staring around at the milling group. When he turned, however, it was to walk headlong into someone stood behind him. "Bugger," James yelped, automatically. "Sorry."

James & Teddy

whoholdsthekey
2021-03-13 05:31 pm UTC (link)

It had taken absolutely fucking everything to get him out of bed. Teddy was having one of his moments where he just wanted to sleep for days and anyone and everyone could fuck right off. Unfortunately, he was in a place where people would notice if he suddenly vanished for a couple of days - not like... Before where he could say he was sick and no one would question it. There had been no one to fully disappoint when he was off on his own.

Now, if he didn't at least attempt to make an appearance at this 'party,' certain people would notice his absence. It wouldn't be overly important in the long run but to his brain, it felt like it. So he had found the Room, wandered about for a moment, enjoying the all-to-familiar music, until he'd gotten thirsty and started towards the collection of bottles. Normally, he wasn't much for alcohol but there didn't seem to be much of a choice.

Not realizing he was crossing someone's sudden path, he was surprised when someone bumped right into him. Teddy's hands came up automatically to steady the person by the upper arms, a forgiving smile forming, "Oh, careful there, mate!" And then his dark eyes grew wide as he realized - yes, of course, "James! I've been hoping to run into you - not literally, mind you, but--" He had to resist the urge to hug him. With Sirius, it had been a natural energy but one could never tell with Potters. So he stepped back and held out a hand, "Teddy Lupin. Hi."

Cassandra & Open

blondemagic
2021-03-13 06:50 pm UTC (link)

Cassandra was very purposefully not interacting. She had found herself a chair and posted up by the door. The entire experience was already overwhelming but she had forced herself to come anyway. It wasn't the number of people that bothered her. It was the strangeness of the music, the way they so freely interacted and did as they pleased. No one cared. Honestly, she didn't care either but getting used to it was different.

So maybe she was in her chair with a notebook, taking notes on 'modern' human behavior. Cassandra had no plan whatsoever if someone noticed her. Even she knew what she was doing was odd but there were only so many books one could read. Actual observation was the only way to really understand. She felt like an anthropologist, studying a foreign tribe while trying not to interrupt their natural rituals.

Until someone was standing in her way. Without even looking up, she asked with a furrowed brow and an annoyed expression, "Could you move, please? Thank you."

It was possible that Sirius had had too many drinks. Well, possible, definite, it was one of those things. But he'd been needing to blow off steam for ages and this was exactly what the doctor ordered. He'd gone around the room seeing how many people he could get to dance with him. He'd been decently successful, even getting Hermione out on the floor for one round. But he had definitely noticed the pretty wallflower in the corner, and no one should be lonely at a party.

He walked over with the intention of talking to her, but her outburst left him raising his hands apologetically.

"Sorry! I was going to see if you fancied a dance but I can see the answer is 'no, absolutely not, fuck off Black.' So I will change tactics. What are you writing? Is it fiction? Salacious novels? Quantum time travel theory?"

Fenrir & Open

wolfish
2021-03-13 10:59 pm UTC (link)

Fenrir slid quietly into the room where the party was being held, trying not to attract any attention. He wasn't sure he really wanted to be here or whether he was going to stay long. Being around large groups of people had been... weird in recent years. It all got just... too much and he found himself needing space and quiet. It was weird because he'd never really been that kind of person. He liked the peace and quiet, sure, but he'd liked parties and people too.

He snagged himself a beer and found a corner away from the bulk of the party that had a pile of pillows and cushions in it. He sank down into them, smiling a little at the softness and comfort. He'd spent a fair bit of time today raiding various parts of the castle for nice comfy furniture to put in his little forest room. He practically had a little apartment tucked around all the trees with a bed and tables and chairs and whatnot. All of them were cozy and comfortable, something he hadn't had in a long time.

Now, he just settled back and took a long drink of his beer and watched the others in the room. He didn't recognise any of them but that didn't really matter. He was warm, well-fed, wearing clean comfortable clothes and he had a beer. Life didn't get much better.

The party had been a good idea if Kirley did say so himself. The music was lively, the food was good, and the alcohol was plentiful. It was nothing like the parties at the Bubble Palace and there was very little chance of anyone engaging in a spontaneous orgy, but things felt lighter than they had in the past couple of weeks. Sure, the Doom & Gloom Patrol was probably still worried about the future, finding sustainable food sources, and fixing up the school, but everyone deserved a break once in a while.

Kirley was in his element even if it wasn't the type of party he'd hosted since his second-year at Hogwarts. Well, there was more alcohol at this one, but it was just as tame and innocent as those parties had been. Still, it was a good time and Kirley wasn't going to waste it thinking about what could happen. There were plenty of sexy people to keep things interesting, and maybe orgies weren't in play but that didn't mean there weren't opportunities for fun.

One such opportunity was lounging on a pile of pillows and cushions with a beer. Kirley got a beer for himself and headed that way. Fenris something--Kirley knew the name, knew the reputation that went along with the name, but he didn't think that mattered now. This man was young and hot, and probably not a psychotic killer. He was pretty sure the Doom & Gloom Patrol wouldn't have let a psychotic killer stay in the castle, so whatever this man had become in his future didn't matter here. What mattered was he was hot and all alone. No one should be alone at one of Kirley's parties.

"Hey," he said as he approached the younger man. He dropped down onto the neighboring pile of cushions and pillows. "I don't think we've met properly yet. I'm Kirley Duke." He wasn't used to having to introduce himself, but this man was from well before his time, and Kirley could use manners when the situation called for it. "Enjoying yourself?"

"Yeah, but she was...I don't know. Three? Four? Definitely under five where I come from. I was telling her that we actually both got lucky. She got to have me as a dad, and I get to skip the sticky fingers." To some people that might have sounded callous, but Kirley was under no illusions that he'd been a good father to a small child.

There was something in Fenrir's tone when he spoke of his father that was familiar to Kirley. "Nothing wrong with jazz or classical. Most of the classical composers were the rockstars of their time. Rebels, social outcasts, that sort of thing." He thought anyone who hated a particular kind of music was very short-sighted. There was something of value to be found in everything. "Oh, I bet you're good with your hips. Elvis would be proud." Fenrir's parents would have gotten along fine with Kirley's father, but his mother would have laughed at them.

"You should, and that's a loaded question. There's so much, but I'd start you with Bowie or Queen, I think if you liked Elvis. Their musical styles are not remotely the same, but fuck if they don't know how to move their hips."

It had been a while since Draco had been to a party. More than a while, honestly. He legitimately couldn't remember the last one, and that was a realization he didn't particularly need right now. Every day he spent here was one more nail in the coffin of his old life. He'd cut himself off so thoroughly from everyone and everything... If it hadn't been for Theo he might have spent the last five hears as a complete and total hermit. In fact, the closest thing to a social gathering had attended since Azkaban were those yearly memorials, and he only went to those to see Harry.

Speaking of Harry, he knew the man had to be around here somewhere, and if he was going to suffer through this Gryffindor nightmare of a social occasion then Harry was going to suffer it with him. Maybe they could even try out that 'holding hands' thing.

He spotted Weasleys red hair through the crowd, and where there was a Weasley there was sure to be a Potter. But Weasley was alone. Draco almost turned around and walked away, but they'd already made eye contact and he should probably try to be nice to Harry's best friend.

"Hello Weasley. I see you're Potter and Grangerless?"

Ron liked parties for the most part, though it had been a while since he'd been to a proper one. There was too much work for parties, so aside from Sunday lunch at the Burrow, his social schedule pretty much consisted of drinking with Harry on the rare times they weren't working. So it was nice to relax for an evening even if he thought that he should be out patroling, making sure no one showed up unexpectedly while they were all partying.

He had a firewhiskey in hand and was waiting for Harry and Hermione to show up. It just figured that while he was waiting, Malfoy would show up. Probably waiting for Harry himself, so the two of them could go off and do things that Ron really didn't want to think about.

"Malfoy," Ron said, inclining his head in greeting. He supposed he had to at least try to play nice with Malfoy, for Harry's sake. Whatever was going on with them was weird, but Ron would always support Harry no matter what. Even if it meant supporting him fucking Malfoy. He pushed that thought away because he really didn't want those mental images. "And yes, for the moment I'm here solo."

Ron grinned widely at Malfoy's tone. "Come on. You call me Weasel King, I'll call you Ferret Boy. It'll be our little inside joke." Maybe the joke would wear thin quickly, but right now Ron found it hilarious the way Malfoy had seemed to instantly lose interest in the insult once Ron refused to be insulted by it.

"Yeah, it definitely wants to keep us here. We're trying to think of ways to convince the place that we have no intentions of abandoning it." He didn't mention the idea of oaths to Malfoy; if Harry wanted to clue him in on that idea, Ron would leave it up to him. "Hell, we're talking about bringing students here. The castle out to get the idea that this isn't temporary sooner or later."

He grinned, not offended by the comment because he'd had a similar thought himself. "I know. I'm just full of surprises these days."

Remus

slowburn_alpha
2021-03-14 12:16 am UTC (link)

On a scale of one to post-Gryffindor quidditch win, Remus supposed the volume level as he entered the Room of Requirement that night wasn't too bad. It certainly wasn't as loud as the Bijou concert he'd caught the year before. That had actually been too much for him to handle. It took him a few moments to sort out sounds and scents as he made his way toward where he could get something to drink. Given the emotional hits of the last few days, he didn't think a dram or two of something fiery would be amiss.

Drink in hand, he wandered aimlessly through the room, looking for a nice out of the way spot where he could just sit and observe. He smiled at people as he passed, if they noticed him, but mostly he just moved unobtrusively between them until he'd made his way to a back wall with a window. Charming a long padded bench that had probably sat at the foot of some staff member's bed at one point closer, he sat comfortably, back to the wall, and sipped at his drink. His friends were in there somewhere, he could make out a head here and there of the people he liked to keep track of throughout the Room. But, never truly being a quote-unquote party person, he was content to sit in the back and just watch.

Maybe listening to the music would let him clear his head for a bit.

Hermione had been making the rounds of the room, trying to say hello to everyone she hadn't met yet. It was a surprisingly large number of people for how small the population currently was. She'd gotten maybe half when she spotted a mildly familiar face off to the side. It took her a moment to place it, but she realized it was Professor Lupin. She quickly walked over and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello professor! I mean, no, sorry, Mr. Lupin. You're not a Professor yet. But you were a brilliant one! My favorite! Sorry, let me start again. Hello Mr Lupin, my name is Hermione, and it is a pleasure to officially meet you."

Harry/Draco

He was at a Weird Sister party. All right, one member of the Weird Sisters. The strange thing wasn't that he had made it, but that he was voluntarily here. He had often gotten tickets from the manager. His name counted ever if they were famous but Harry hated the music. It was too loud, too fast and he always felt awkward trying to dance. Poor McGonagall would be so disappointed in his dancing skills.

This was different. This was about uniting everyone and even though he would rather be in his room with a bottle, here he was. He decided that he deserved the bottle so picked one up and then e looked around. Both Rom and Hermione were busy, but Draco wasn't. He went to stand next to him, looking out at the crowd. "Do you enjoy this? People seem to like it."

"No," Draco said, turning to Harry with a smile. "This is loud, and wild, a d Sirius Black tried to dance with me. Even got me on the floor for a few moments while I was too stunned to resist."

He held up his half empty cup of juice in a mock salute.

"But this is togetherness, or something like that. Right? Everyone uniting and something something unity." He looked out at the dancing crowd. They were still a small bunch, but the numbers had increased rapidly. "But I spoke to Weasley earlier. It didn't go horribly."

"I knew it. My stealth skills were impressive. No one knew who I was," Harry answered back, squeezing Draco's hand.

Harry laughed. "I'm not sure your whining is any more attractive. I have little tolerance for whining. Aren't we British? Keep calm and do what you must." He had seen Kirley's distaste for clothes. "I guess I'll have to address that too. I also need to figure out something for your father to do. What do you think would be something appropriate? He can't do nothing, because he'll end up doing something stupid."

He shrugged. "Constant vigilance." He was confused for a moment and then chuckled. "My wand? If I'm home, yes. If I'm in uniform, it's against regs, but I forget half the time. If I'm undercover, then never. I do the opposite of what Harry would do. Not that I really need it for most magic anymore. After what happened with Voldemort and how easily it is to remove wands, I started learning wandless magic, but I like to know that I can reach it if I need to."

Glenda & Open

Catching up with Kirley had been a gas. He'd been so young when she'd last seen him and now to see him as a grown-ass man with a career and a kid? Such a trip. And if maybe she had left behind the idea that if he needed company post-party, she'd be happy to accommodate, well, that was just between them and the extensive record collection he'd scrounged up.

Glenda had been making the rounds, trying to be as friendly and social as she could. If she had mixed up her own version of a Long Island iced tea with the bottled she'd had and had already had two of them and thusly was well on her way to smashed, that was her business.

She had been swaying and swinging for a good pace now and if maybe she had hit people with her way too long hair multiple times - well, at least she was quick to apologize. Like now, when she did it again, "Sooorry. I've gone a little loose in the joint department, I think."

Savannah enjoyed a good party. This wasn't one of them, not if one considered her father's parties back home, but it was still a party and she refused to let the situation make her sad.

She walked around, talking to people, smiling at everyone, hugging almost everyone, hugging some twice, because they looked like they needed. After that she went for something to drink. She left the heavy drinking to her father. She was still training even if there was no Quidditch and the sugar in the alcohol wasn't good for her.

All set up she moved toward the 'dance floor' when she was hit by hair. She laughed at the response. "That's fine. I think you need to tie your hair up." She reached for the hair elastic on her wrist. She always had one handy. "Would you like one? I have extra."

Cho was flushed, watery. Paintings watched and murmured and shifted as she, thankfully, moved more than fumbled down the dim corridor. Those magicked oils and acrylics had offered little, be it from limitation or amusement, or both, and she felt the lump forming. A mass of anxiety, frustration, and anger to swallow around. It'd only been the pastel portrait of a little girl that'd finally pointed her toward the Room of Requirement.

Fingers carding loose hair, Cho hesitated, breathed. Listened, ears straining and heart drumming, before easing past the threshold. The young woman quickly tried to blink back some of that burn because while she'd never shied from tears, some semblance of keeping it together was very necessary at the moment.

It was curiosity, rather than anything else, which had led Albus to the party. He'd arrived a little late, hoping that his arrival might be masked somewhat. Perhaps surprisingly, Albus had quite enjoyed such a gathering at one point. Not so much recently, but back at school and a short time afterwards, they had been quite enjoyable.

They'd been quite different from this, of course. The music, for one, seemed to beat inside his chest, and people milled about so freely it was rather disconcerting.

Aside from a conversation with Cassandra and a few others, he'd mostly kept to himself. Hovering around the edges, watching and listening, as was his habit. It was for this reason that he was stood by the door when it cracked open and a young lady walked in.

Albus blinked at her. He didn't recognise her, but that didn't mean much. Albus frequently missed new arrivals. More important was that the girl seemed quite distressed. He hesitated for a moment, before his overriding feeling of concern took over.

"Excuse me," he approached her carefully. "Are you all right?"
