WHO. Everyone~!
WHAT. P AR TAY.
WHERE. Room of Requirement.
WHEN. Backdated to Friday. Night time.
RATING. TBA. Nothing too high though, alright?
STATUS. Open~

The Room of Requirements was a blessing. Nymphadora had spent days trying to locate the infamous room, searching the halls for what seemed like the only ideal place in the castle where one can have an event such as the one she'd been planning for her sibling. She'd taken note of a few abandoned duelling rooms and old libraries, just in case her search came out unfruitful. But at the very last second, the toom finally showed itself to her.

It was better than the stories his father had told her once about it. Not only did Dora not need to decorate the room herself, but it seemed the food was taken care of, too. As if the Castle was rejoicing for their return, and wanted them to celebrate coming back the proper way. Dora was only too eager to oblige.

The room was dark but for the lit candles with different colored flames of red purple and deep orange scattered about the room, gently illuminating the small space. Modest sitting areas were scattered about the area, a long table with food and drinks stood on both sides of the room. The center of the room was of course reserved for dancing, with a small stage and operational DJ booth. It was perfect, Dora thought as her eyes scanned the room.

By nightfall, it was time to party.

Rose made her way through the small crowd of students, heading towards the table with drinks. It was not until she reached the table that she saw Dom standing there all alone, a drink in hand.

"Hey," she greeted as she reached her cousin, "You look smashing". She took a cup filled with something. She had no idea what it was. "Sorry I was a bit late. Had some prefect duties that needed taken care of before I could get here." To be honest, it was still fairly early into the party, but Rose liked to be on time, heck, she even liked to be ten minutes early, so being a bit late was a lot late in her book.

Dom's demeanor perked up a bit at the sight of Rose. "Hello, you look brill as well." Dominique grinned happy for the change of thought. "Oh, don't worry. I was late as usual. Must have been some pretty horrible prefect duties to keep you so late though."

Dom took another sip of her drink, "Looks like the party is shaping up to be a success. Have you seen Addy or Dora?"

Rose sipped from her drink as well, welcoming the sweet taste of cool liquid running down her throat. "Mm," she agreed, thinking about earlier. "First year pulled a prank on a fellow student which ended with one in the infirmary and the other in detention. Honestly, were we as bad in first year?" she asked and laughed, a knowing smile gracing her lips.

At the mention of Addy and Dora, Rose looked around, taking in all the students walking around. "No, not yet." She looked into her cup. "What exactly is this?" It tasted like butterbeer, but not entirely.

Dominique returned Rose's knowing smile. "I seem to remember something about a girl's lavatory and it igniting on fire. I can't for the life of me remember why." For the first time since the incident in the hall, a bit of light came into her eyes. First year had been so much easier, and so much more fun.

Dominique looked into Rose's cup. "You know, Tommy is the one to ask about that. It's one of his concoctions. I'm not sure what this is either." Dominique held up her drink, which she now noted was a pinkish color.

Rose looked at Dom and noticed the change in her cousin. Or at least she thought it was some kind of change. But she decided not to ask about it, hoping instead that Dom would tell her when she was ready to share.

"Tommy made this?" she asked instead and looked warily into the cup again, frowning a bit. Was it completely safe to drink then? She looked around and everyone seemed fine, so it was with a shrug that she took another sip. "It tastes good," she said, thoughtfully and looked as the blue liquid seemed to swirl in the cup when she moved her hand just a tiny bit.

	Dominique caught her cousin looking at her. And she grimaced, before whispering. "I saw Phoenix. In the hall, right as I was coming in." "Yeah, Tommy hasn't poisoned anyone to date, so I reckon its safe." Dom had to grin. She thought of the stories of uncle Fred and George, and thought that maybe spiking drinks would be a good party trick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh," was all Rose could manage to say to that. It was not nearly as eloquent as she had hoped, but though she should have seen something like that coming, she hadn't expected that to be the problem. She silently cursed herself, and cleared her throat as she tried to find something better and perhaps more suitable to say.

"You okay?" she asked, smiling what she hoped was her friendly 'you can tell me if you want and I'll be there for you' smile. She glanced into the cup, and nodded, somewhat glad that they also had this to talk about. "I suppose you are right."

	"Yeah. I'm alright. It's just, it was awkward. Things have been over for a while, but it was still," Dominique finished this sentiment with a shrug and another, very large, sip of her drink. "So anything been up with you lately, Rosie?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rose nodded sympathetically, fully understanding how Dom was feeling yet unable to find the right words to let her cousin know this. "Nothing much. Just, you know, school stuff and prefect duties. And..." she thought about it. "Well, that's it really. Boring, really," she finished with a sigh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We really should change that boring bit. Most days I feel like I'm pretending to study for N.E.W.T.s. Not very effective," Dominique offered up. Taking another sip, and another glance around the room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh, please don't mention the N.E.W.T.s," she said, making a face. "I study and study for them, but when I pick up the same book the day after it's like reading it for the first time again. Nothing sticks, when it comes to that. Absolutely nothing. Might as well just give up," she said, one hand raised in disbelief. Not that she would actually give up, because that was no in her nature, but she had thought about it at least twice now.
