Who: Anyone and everyone!
What: House Unity party
When: Sunday afternoon
Where: the Great Hall
Rating/Warnings: Unknown. Depends on all of you.

Seeing as she was the mastermind behind this whole thing, Evie wasn't surprised that she was the first person in the Great Hall for the party. She surveyed the hall with something approaching wonder - Professor McGonagall had really outdone herself. Streamers festooned the walls and ceilings, and on the wall facing the door, there was a huge banner depicting all four house crests in a row. The tables had been moved to the side for the occasion, except for one long table set up down the far wall laden with refreshments. Evie couldn't help but skip over to it and help herself to a cookie - she noted that it was decorated with Ravenclaw stripes, and upon checking out the rest of the food, she noticed that it was all themed in some way or another.

Straightening out her clothes, she hoped she looked all right. It had been her fear from the beginning that no one would come in Slytherin colours, given that no one seemed to like them. Remembered conversations that she had had with Greg Goyle heated her blood. She was almost angry that they were being given the cold shoulder in such a way, and in light of that fact she had dressed appropriately - green t-shirt, Slytherin tie that she had begged from the house elves, and green slacks that she had sent an owl home for.

Evie stood alone in the middle of the room, hoping against hope that she wouldn't be the only one to turn up.

Evie grinned when she saw Demelza. She'd really grown to enjoy the other girl's company, after spending time with her one on one in their little cooking lessons. She was bright and sunny and cheerful and Evie just enjoyed her company.

She nodded her approval of Dem's outfit - being a Gryffindor, Demelza had dressed perfectly in Hufflepuff colors. "Thanks!" she replied. "I didn't do much of it - Professor McGonagall decorated, and house elves did the food, but I'm glad you think it looks nice!"

Demelza beamed at Evie for the other girl's approval of her outfit. She had picked out more-or-less the only yellow thing in her wardrobe specifically for Evie, although she had plenty of things in blue.

"Not taking credit for things is a Hufflepuff trait, is it?" Demelza said, rolling her eyes at Evie's mentioning the other helpers. "I'm sure it's not Slytherin," she continued with an eye on Evie's outfit. "Though it's not very Gryffindor either." Demelza paused for a moment.

"I think the whole point of the party has succeeded," she announced, "I have discovered that Gryffindors and Slytherins have something in common!"
