Characters: Everyone!
Setting: Great Hall, evening of Saturday, 30 October
Content: SFW
Summary: Everybody parties at the Halloween Ball!

This is your ball post, everyone! Here's how this will go.

Different locations in the Great Hall will be posted as separate comments, which will include a little description of each. These will be the Entrance Hall, the Dance Floor, and the Tables. You should reply to any/all of these comments with your character, and if other characters reply to that subthread, they are interacting with your character. Please indicate in the subject whether your character's subthread is open or whether it has participants in mind already (EG, maybe John is at the ball and taking a break from dancing at the tables, waiting to see if someone comes up to him, so the title for his comment would be "Jack/Open", but maybe Jill is meeting Adam at the ball, so she would reply to the Entrance Hall thread with "Jill/Adam" in the subject).

Please wait to reply the ball until all the comment locations are up. Backdating of threads/journals related to the ball is allowed until Tuesday, and posting placeholders is not allowed. If you have any questions, feel free to PM the mod account!

Trish/Ed/Open

Thankfully, things had been worked out with Amelia. Ed was still a little concerned about her, but luckily she had decided to show up at the ball after all. Before hand, Ed had managed to down a few with Bertie so he was probably a little more tipsy than the Head Boy ought to be. It wasn't too noticeable, seeing as Ed was usually quite the happy guy, and he hoped that no one would call him up on it.

Ed had agreed with Trish that their costumes would be ones that pissed the purist gits off. This, however, was more easily said than done. Ed had left it to the last minute and like always, Trish had helped him get his act together. Now, Ed wasn't particularly one for costumes but seeing as it was his last year he had decided to get in the spirit. It also proved to be unavoidable since Trish had demanded he'd get a costume. He'd picked something out of a muggle costume catalogue and hoped it would piss as many people off as he hoped. The whole idea of a wizard and witch going as Muggles dress up as a wizard and a witch' was confusing enough, and he'd hoped that the Slytherin gits would get the whole idea. Ed had picked out a typical wizard costume and wore it proudly as he came down the stairs. The costume came with a wig, which Ed decided not to wear,but he rather enjoyed the gray beard he was sporting.

Ed spotted a rather green Trish and chuckled to himself. He approached her, still with a ridiculous grin on his face, feeling rather nostalgic as he realised this was his and Trish's last Halloween ball. Ed nodded along with Trish, returning her hug rather tightly, lifting her up a little above ground level, swinging her back and forth. He released his hold and gently touched her nose with his index finger before he yanked the beard off of his face, letting it rest around his neck so he could talk. "I do, don't I?" He grinned down at her. "And so do you." he said as he nudged her softly. "I don't think green has ever looked quite so good."

Trish/Ed/Mia/Open?

The last thing Amelia Bones wanted to do tonight was go to the ball where she'd be reminded of everything that had happened. Yet after talking to her friends, along with operation HIO the night before, she felt better about the whole thing. It was silly to sulk in her room all night, and Trish had definitely pushed her guilt buttons by mentioning wanting to share every experience with her before graduation. Not to mention Molly practically begging her not to bail like she had originally planned. So after the night of talking and making up, Mia felt like she couldn't stay in her room and waste the gorgeous dress her mother had helped her pick out. It was a bit bittersweet, since she was reminded of discussing the costume idea with Tiberius, but she wasn't going to let that drag her down all night. There was a lot of fun to be had.

Getting ready was a bit of a challenge. She didn't want to overdo it now that she wasn't trying to impress anyone, but she also wanted to do justice to the dress she was wearing. So after discussing things with her roommates, she finally settled on somewhere in between. One of the girls found a flower crown for her head, and she pulled on the gown and cloak carefully once she had her soft brown hair curled lightly. A very modest touch of makeup to accentuate bright blue eyes, some beautiful heels, and she was done. Mia charmed her cloak pockets to hold various items she might need during the night, and then set off for the Great Hall so she could hopefully have some spiked punch and get this night going the right way.

In the entrance hall, she was smiling and waving at friends, doing fun little twirls to show off her Queen Titana costume properly. The dress and cloak being the most exquisite part, of course, though the gorgeous wings she'd managed to find at Hogsmede was a close second. Spotting her brother and Trish talking not far away, she couldn't resist bounding over excitedly. Their costumes were brilliant! Stopping beside them, she grinned at Trish in the muggle idea of a witch costume. The green skin was just too perfect, and she couldn't help but look amazed. "I love your costume! The green is a nice touch." Turning to study Ed, she shook her head in amusement as she surveyed his costume too. "Let me guess...you're Dumbledore?" she teased, knowing he was matching in another muggle-invented costume.

Trish laughed in an animated manner as he lifted her off the ground, only calming down again once her feet were flat on the ground once more. As Ed touched a finger to her nose, she scrunched it up playfully before running her fingers through his beard. Sure, it didn't match the color of his hair, but it was incredible all the same. The two had really outdone themselves this year, if you were to ask her anyway! When Ed dished the compliment back at her, Trish smiled proudly. She released his beard long enough to curtsy, but his nudge threw her off balance slightly. Grabbing either side of his robe with her hands, she tugged him closer as if to reprimand him. Her smile suggested otherwise, though. "I don't think an old muggle fella has ever been so... tempting," she teased, giving him a wink before reaching to his beard and replacing it over his mouth to prevent him from responding. Trish gave her best mate a kiss on the cheek, directly above the beard, prior to them being approached by another.

Draping one arm over Ed's shoulder, she turned to face the familiar voice. "Why thank you, my pretty," Trish retorted in a nasaly voice before cackling. She wasn't sure if Mia, or even Ed for that matter, would pick up on the stereotype, but it was well worth it despite that. "Ed here is an escapee from a muggle retirement center." Trish gestured with a head motion toward her mate, her hand that was resting over his shoulder giving him a squeeze before releasing him altogether to hug Mia. Of course Trish was careful not to cause any portion of the girl's rather extravagant costume to be shoved out of place. She knew better than anyone a look like Mia's getup had to have taken a lot of time to piece together, and it was simply the worst when someone came along and kissed you, thus ruining your makeup, or hugged you, messing up your hair and so forth. Granted Trish was the type who opted for first impressions alone, and once those were sorted, she didn't care how she looked the rest of the night. That aside, she wanted Mia to have the best experience possible, so keeping her appearance maintained was part of the process. Brushing a strand of hair behind Mia's ear, Trish smiled a bit more gently this time. "You're the prettiest lady here, I dare say," she added, giving her surrogate sister's arm a gentle squeeze before stepping backward to Ed's side. "Ed has his work cut out for him tonight."

Tiberius Ogden arrived to the ball considerably late, and hopefully unexpected.
He had spent the last day and a half in the Forbidden Forest in his animal form, clearing his mind and calming him. Of the many issues he was working through, he felt by coming to the ball would make a great opportunity to settle one. He had seriously messed up in breaking things off so quickly with Mia and he wanted some clarity.
He scanned the behemoth of a crowd for signs of Mia. He moved quickly through the crowds, not stopping until he saw her, not stopping til...
He saw Ed, furious. Eh, what's new?
He saw Trish, worried and loving. Also no surprise.
Then, he saw something very peculiar.
He saw Sirius, also angry, and protective...of Trish?! As curious as he was about what might be going on with them, he knew the perfect opportunity had presented itself for speaking to Mia -- alone.
He continued his search until he spotted her. Saying he hurried to her would be an understatement.
