Who: Eleanor Branstone and OPEN. When: Monday after dinner. Where: Hufflepuff Common room. Rating: Low. Incomplete.
Eleanor had always loved the Hufflepuff Common room, it was cosy and always felt welcoming. She sat down in her favourite chair in front of the fireplace and pulled over a small table so she could spread out her parchment and pencils. It was less than two weeks until the Halloween Ball and she hadn’t even started designing her costume yet, let alone start making it! It had been hard deciding what to go as. She hadn’t dressed up in years, not since the year before she had started at Hogwarts, as there had been no reason to dress up. Finally she had decided to go as a devil and make a pretty red dress along with some red horns.
She smoothed out one of the pieces of parchment and picked up a pencil, ready to start. First she drew a rough outline of a body and then… nothing else came. Well, that was a pain. It was unusual for her not to come up with anything when she was armed with drawing materials and a blank piece of parchment. She wasn’t even sure what length she wanted for the dress. Frowning, she began tapping the table with the end of her pencil, not noticing when someone approached her.
