1976 CLASS REUNION!

Donovan Rookwood may have been Head Boy in 1986, had not been looking forward to his class reunion.

He couldn't believe it had been 10 years - 10 bloody years - since he had graduated. Honestly, it felt like only yesterday. He missed the school, but the people? He could live without never having to see certain people from his graduating class ever again, but he couldn't very well not attend. He was sure Jolene would have throttled him if he had told her she had to host the entire evening by herself, and there were some people who were actually sentimental about this rubbish.

Despite the dread he had felt leading up to that night, he had to admit that riding the Hogwarts Express beside Danielle, not to mention being in the castle, made him feel a sense of nostalgia that he hadn't entirely expected. He suspected that if he wasn't partially responsible for making sure everything ran smoothly, he might not have been so miserable. He just hadn't realized how much planning was involved. They had to figure out out the number of people in their class, and account for people who were bringing guests. That meant figuring out how many place settings there were, and try and seat people according to who wasn't going to kill each other by the end of the night, while also trying not to segregate the houses, and then there were the decorations, and-

The list just seemed to go on and on, but thankfully Donovan and Jo had different strengths they brought to the table. After months of work, their efforts had finally paid off, and everyone seemed to be pleased with the end results. There was good food, live music, and there was even supposed to be a fireworks show that Dumbledore had arranged for the end of the night.

All of these things were well and good, but there was one thing in particular that Donovan was looking forward to - the fully stocked, high-end open bar.

It wasn't the first time the class of 1976 had gotten piss drunk on Hogwarts grounds, but it was certainly the first time they had been able to do so with permission. Students were home for the summer, and the common rooms were theirs to use as they pleased. Donovan and Jolene were even given access to the Head Boy and Girl suites. If he had his way, he and Danielle would have disappeared a long time ago to enjoy the privacy, but his wife had decided to mingle, which left her husband leaning against the edge of the bar with a half-empty glass of firewhiskey. He was scanning the crowd when he noticed someone walking towards the bar, looking just as thrilled to be there as he was. He smirked behind the rim of his glass, and took a sip.

"Having fun, Wadcock?"

[OOC: This thread is for anyone who graduated in 1986 from Hogwarts and +1's! The date of the reunion is actually tomorrow (the 18th) but Kristin is in a wedding and needed to post this a little early. >_> REMEMBER, RULES OF THE REUNION ARE: YOU CAN NOT SCENE WITH YOUR CHARACTERS' GUESTS, OR ANYONE ELSE THEY WOULD ~TYPICALLY~ SCENE WITH! Be creative! EXPAND HORIZONS! REKINDLE OLD FRIENDSHIPS! MAKE UP OLD "WHEN WE WERE IN HOGWARTS" STORIES, ETC. ETC.]
