Current location:	Ravenclaw Common Room
Current mood:	jubilant

Who: All Ravenclaws, particularly the Quidditch team
What: Celebration for winning the match against Gryffindor and Merwyn's birthday
When: Saturday evening/night
Where: Ravenclaw Tower
Summary: The Ravenclaws are celebrating the recent win against Gryffindor and Merwyn with all sorts of treats and merriment.

Walking up to the Ravenclaw dormitory door, the bronze eagle knocker asked, "The beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the beginning of every end, and the end of every place. What am I?"

Benjy replied with a quick, "The letter 'E'," and noted that even the knocker seemed too happy to make the questions difficult tonight. He shifted the weight of a case of butterbeer (kindly shared by the house elves) as he elbowed the door open.

It felt great to be able to celebrate, especially with how beat down everyone seemed to be feeling. There was a minor thread of guilt flitting through Benjy's joy, though. Benjy was still wearing the Gryffindor sweat band, and the smile on his face flickered just a touch as he stared at the scarlet and gold around his wrist. Even though Ravenclaw had put in such great work and truly earned the win, Gryffindor had an even worse bout of grief that was only added to tonight. Especially for Alice. He, probably better than anyone else, could understand what it would feel to be sidelined from the final year of being able to play on your team.

Regardless, the Ravenclaw's had every right to celebrate and enjoy themselves. "I got the butterbeer!" Benjy called out as he stepped into the common room.

Continuing to ride the high of the excitement, Benjy was giddily distracted at every moment. This was fairly normal after a win, Benjy figuring it had something to do with how intensely in thought he was during the match having to balance out afterward. More likely, it was because he was really in the goofy and tangential stages of exhaustion. And the copious amounts of sugary food and drink. Which is also why he tended to crash unexpectedly at some earlier point than most everyone else.

Noticing Septima walk in the common room with some (very delicious-looking) cakes, Benjy looked up from Kira and called to her. "Septima, come over and join us! We were just breaking out some butterbeer and congratulating Gilderoy on a wonderful catch. Oh, and we need to toast Merwyn's birthday!"

Rolling her eyes ever so slightly, Septima separated the three cakes out and lifted them out of the boxes and onto the table at the side of the room. "What do you think these are here for, silly?" she asked, taking out her wand and tapping each platter twice.

"OK, there's a refilling charm on each plate, but it'll only work until the last person out goes to bed. What's leftover tomorrow will be the last of it. Secondly, I've also enchanted the plates so that no-one can jump the queue for a second bit before someone's had their first. Trust me, you don't want to try breaking that charm" she called out to the assembling crowd, a little grin on her face at her own spellwork.
