The students had taken over the cafeteria. Instead of the usual dinner serving, there was a buffet of food, snacks and desserts for the students to choose from, ranging from everyday fare to traditional meals from every holiday and corner of the globe. The Pandora holiday station was playing gently in the background to add an ambiance, and even the harsh florescent lighting seemed to have a softer glow when added to the planters of faerie lights and stark white branches lining the walls and the hallway outside. The room was decked in hues of rich reds, shimmery golds and twinkling white. Although the tables were pushed to the corners to allow a dance area, it wasn't much a mood for dancing. Students mingled and milled about, sipping cider and eggnog and hot chocolate and feeling the general good cheer of the evening.

Rating: Any/all
Status: ongoing



In the basement of the staff apartments, a place used mostly for storage and solitude, a single table with refreshments and drink had been decorated and well lit to act as centerpiece for the party. The rest of the room, although comfortable, lacked the grandiose cheer that the students had in the cafeteria. And with good reason, too; The students needed something grand because they were trapped in L'academie, so they had to feel special. The party for the staff was simply an excuse to celebrate another year of success and to drink themselves silly.
