Birthdays Rita Skeeter - October 29 Molly Weasley - October 30
Prompts Friday - Charms Charms is cancelled on Friday because instead of making them float, a first year class caused them to swell like balloons. Professor Flitwick is unable to figure out just how to fix them, so he asks 6th and 7th year Charms Club members to help, excusing them from their classes.
Wednesday - Masquerade The Masquerade Ball will take place between 8pm and Midnight on October 31st. It is, unfortunately, mandatory. Dates are chosen randomly by the use of a mask - every student will return from dinner to find their mask sitting upon their bed. There is only one mask that matches theirs, and that will be their date for the evening. From 8pm until 10pm the pair MUST be within 5 feet with each other, however, as soon as 10pm comes around, students are free to mingle and socialise at will when the charm upon their mask breaks. The catch? While wearing the masks the student cannot speak their own name, nor give away who they are in any manner, so there is relative anonymnity for the two hours they are dancing. The Headmaster is sure this will get people seeing past socially constructed views and getting to know others without their prejudged opinions. A list of partners will be posted with the massive thread, though feel free to plot, thread, or log through out the week and backdate if needed.
