The merry year is born / Like the bright berry from the naked thorn WHO: Xenophilius Lovegood and Bridget Enders WHEN:[Backdated!] New Year's Eve, '76-'77 WHERE: Ravenclaw Common Room WHAT: Uh. Bringing in the New Year, ya'll. Again!
It was nearing 22:00, Xenophilius saw on his plastic watch as he answered the trivia question to get into the Common Room. It was almost "time." In his arms he carried crackers to set off at the stroke of midnight to help welcome and usher in the new year. He smiled and looked around - he was alone. With his usual slow gait, he walked to the center of the room and set the crackers down gently.
He whipped his wand out from behind his left ear and cast a quick charm, decorating the large space in bronze and navy streamers, with matching confetti (there were still some lingering signs of Christmas - mistletoe, angels, etc., but whatever). He then transfigured the ancient clock on the fireplace mantle into a small, gold countdown timer - now reading 1:54:23 until midnight.
Perfect! Xenophilius sat in the nearest chair, pulling his feet up and slipping his wand back into its place behind his ear. He silently surveyed his work, pleased with himself. Now all he had to do was wait for Bridget.
