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!

Gladys flew into the Entrance Hall, her wings flapping gracefully, as she searched for the Gilderoy Lockhart, who had sent her an invitation by owl to come to the ball with him! Gladys couldn't believe it. They had one flying lesson together and despite the fact that she thought she had embarrassed herself, Gilderoy not only expressed an interest for another lesson, but he had also owled her an invitation to the ball - and even asked her to dress like an owl! She took this with a great pride since he wanted them to match. So with Aurelia's help, she was able to create a great owl costume, quite similar to the owl that delivered the letter. One that even made hooting noises here in there. She wanted to impress Gilderoy after all. And what better way than to create the best owl costume there was! It looked very realistic that Filch was giving her apprehensive looks, telling her that animals weren't allowed into the ball. It took for Gladys to take off her head dress for Filch to reluctantly leave her be with a "No owl droppings" comment. Gladys only took it for the fact that her costume looked perfect.

And so she waited, as she hooted at everyone who came by. She was no earlier, no later, and just in time, grinning with pride, watching for another owl that would signify Gilderoy's arrival.

Gilderoy was very proud of his costume. After a lot of thinking, he decided to dress as a sultan, with the most beautiful silks great-auntie Fifi could find for him. He considered asking some house-elves to accompany him as his devoted slaves, but eventually decided that it would look too silly and ruin the overall effect. And besides, putting the elves in costume would mean giving them clothes, and even he knew it would result in absolute disaster.

Looking absolutely dashing (if he had been into blokes, he would have tried to snog himself, he thought with a grin), he arrived in the Entrance Hall, looking forward to seeing the reactions of the girls who might be there. Immediately the sight of a very large and incredibly realistic-looking owl caught his eye. My word, that was impressive. He wondered who might be underneath it all as he moved over to congratulate them.

Gladys eye brows immediately furrowed as a familiar face dressed in a sultan costume walked towards her. She could feel her pulse already beating fast, her heart sinking as though a sense of things not being right filled her.

That couldn't be Gilderoy. He said they would match.

But it was. Gladys would have known his face in any costume. And now she was meeting him looking ridiculously like an owl. And she was sure, sultans didn't have owls. She removed her head dress, her confused expression still on her face, as she revealed her face to Gilderoy.

"I thought you were going to be dressed like an owl?" Gladys found herself saying, before she could stop herself, a disappointed feeling already spreading through her. She shouldn't feel disappointed. If anything, Gilderoy's asked her to the ball and that should be enough. Surely, he had a reason why he was dressed in a sultan costume?

Oh look, Gilderoy thought to himself as the owl removed the head dress, it's Gladys. "Congratulations," he started, a smile of approval on his face, "that's a really-"

But the look of shock and disappointment on her face stopped him dead, and her words filled him with confusion.

"Huh?" Gilderoy didn't understand. "What do you mean? I've been planning my costume for weeks now."
