The Party to End All Parties

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Smiles
Who: EVERYONE
When: Monday, February 22nd
Where: Castle Ford, Lake Luzerne, NY
What: Cinna throws a birthday party for Bernadine and Abby. CHAOS ENSUES.
Rating: Let's just say probably NSFW


Cinna tried hard to keep secrets, she really did. But somehow, through someone, her super secret surprise birthday party for Abernathy had become known, and people from all corners were asking questions about it-- when was it, where was it, what should they bring, if they could bring a friend... before she knew it, word of a giant bender she was organizing over holiday had gotten out, and everyone in the school seemed to think they were invited. She was pretty sure some of them didn't even realize this was specifically for Abby's birthday.

She gave up on her awesome idea of a small, cozy bash and informed her best friend (actually Bernadine, as she had still not figured this out) with a rather sheepish face that she was maybe possibly accidentally hosting a giant party... at Abby's house. On her birthday. And that everyone was coming. Everyone.

Somehow, Bernadine convinced Abernathy that this wouldn't be such a disaster. )

It's None of Your Business Either

Hopeful
Who: Abernathy and Bernadine Ford
What: Abernathy calls to yell at her sister a bit.
When: Saturday afternoon, after Cinna's post went live.
Where: Abernathy's dorm room. Both of them. ;)


Bernadine expected the berating would happen sooner or later. She was hoping to delay it a bit, but Cinna was very good at throwing monkey wrenches into plans. She picked up the phone at her sister's insistence, though she let it ring a few times.

Really, B? )

Secrets Never Prosper

Abernathy bush league
Who: Abernathy and Bill Ford
When: Late July
Where: The Ford Home, Lake Luzerne, NY.
What: Bill stumbles in on Abby and Bernadine's plot. Abby discovers one of her father's secrets and doesn't react well.
Rating: SFW, language


Eventually all secret plans get discovered. This was what Abby kept trying to remind herself while Bill Ford's temper reached all new heights. He'd come across a letter from Mother Criss to "Abernathy," though clearly it was written to Bernadine.

Of course, Bill didn't think his sweet and innocent Bernadine would come up with this crackpot idea. )

The Plot Thickens

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
adelaide: devious
Who: Abernathy, Adelaide, and the Ford family
When: July 2011, over Summer Break
Where: Hadley-Luzerne, NY
What: SFW version: Abernathy's sister Bernadine invites Adelaide camping, and reveals the devious plan she and her identical twin have hatched. NSFW version: Adelaide sleeps with Abernathy and all her siblings.
Rating: SFW. Language.

It seemed that the truce called between Abernathy and Adelaide was a genuine affair, as the peace had been lasting, if not a little strained. That first weekend of respite had passed without incident, and during the following summer Adelaide found herself the surprised recipient of a polite owl extending her an offer to again join the Ford family for a few days. She accepted almost immediately, thanking Abernathy for the invitation (though she had little doubt Bernadine would have been behind the idea) and asked when she should arrive and what to bring.

A few days later, she Apparated onto their doorstep with a backpack slung over her shoulder and the hope that this visit would be as pleasant an experience as the last. )

Birthday Owl for Addy

As much a surprise to herself as it probably was to Adelaide, Abernathy sent a snake that she hand carved out of wood. The note attached to the plain packaging reads: Happy birthday bitch! AB

The sandpocalypse is nigh!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
cinna: eager
Who: Everyone!
When: Friday July 8th
Where: South Beach, Miami
What: Cinna throws the first beach bash of the summer!
Rating: Xenu only knows.

School had been out barely a day before Cinna sent out a mass email inviting everyone ever to come hang out. She figured after Independence Day people would probably be sick of their families already, so proposed the weekend after that: a beach party on Friday and if anyone wanted to stay for the rest of the weekend they were more than welcome.

Friday couldn't come quickly enough. Part of the beach had been blocked off for them very early in the day, and Cinna's parents had very thoughtfully hired some entertainment-- a series of beach vans, one with ice creams and slushies, another with food, a third with a bar and an attendant paid to look the other way, and a little DJ booth on wheels.

The sky was endlessly blue, not a cloud in sight to spoil the day ahead, and the beach was clear and ready for the shenanigans to begin.

After Prom Party

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Maria Morgendorfer
Each year the students are given the option of an after prom party held in the Dresden Hall gymnasium. This year the gym was divided up into several diversions.

One quarter of the room is sectioned off with sumptuous fabric and lush pillows for students who want a break from all the excitement. Another quarter is filled with theatre chairs and a big screen television for an all night long movie marathon; a quieting charm on the perimeter keeps the noise from the other activities. A third quarter of the room is filled with games and other such entertainments. The final quarter is set up with tables and refreshments.

Students are locked in at 11:00pm and are only allowed to leave with a chaperon to escort them back to their dorm. Doors unlock at 7:00am so that students may go to breakfast in the main dining hall.

The Prom

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Seamus Morgendorfer
Cinna Thompson had almost single handedly pulled the prom together. The ballroom was decorated with festoons of floating flowers. Stars hung from the ceiling, each set to sparkle as if they were properly in the sky. The outskirts of the room were set with small round tables that could accommodate one or two couples. A table of refreshments was guarded at all times by Seamus Morgendorfer and a rotating cast of other faculty who volunteered to chaperon for the evening.

A glittery ballot box stood next to the entrance where students were set to write down their chosen prom king and queen and drop their tickets into the box. Students began to stream in after dinner to quiet music playing over the speakers. The band, a local group called Vampira was scheduled to begin playing around 7:30.

Needless to say it was going to be an excellent evening.

Phase Two

Who: Abernathy and Mother Criss
When: Tuesday after class
Where: The advanced Divination classroom
What: Abernathy begins phase two of her plan and approaches Mother Criss.
Rating: SFW.


Abernathy didn't want to delay her meeting with Mother Criss, but the Advanced Divination teacher had been seeing students in and out since the very first day of scheduling. It was like this every year; no matter who Octavia Whalon recommended Mother Criss had the final say.

Abby paced outside her office for a bit. )

Scheduling for Next Year (open to 3rd years through university students)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Nathaniel Dawkins
Upperclassmen had been sent home with pamphlets over spring break to think about their options for the next semester. Third year students could pick up an elective for their freshmen year, fourth years could pick up two electives as sophomores; those meetings tended to go the quickest. It was the meetings with fifth years and beyond that tended to take up the full 15 minutes alloted to them.

These students had to receive recommendations to take advanced classes, or opt to take electives. Last year Nathaniel Dawkins had tried to talk everyone out of taking magical crafting, if only because that class filled up so fast they had to open another section of it. He had their files arranged already; all the students signed up for time slots earlier in the week. Professors had already sent Dawkin's their recommendations; those had been read and placed among their academic transcripts.

The university students were another group altogether. They had to select a mentor and core focus for their fall semester and if they could look ahead and think about what they wanted in the spring as well. They'd need additional meetings later in the semester with their chosen mentor; thankfully that was out of Dawkin's hands.

Students would be wandering in and out of classes for their fifteen minute blocks, but this was the standard practice for this time of year. Dr. Dawkins was ready, about as ready as he ever was.

I Have An Idea

Abernathy hopeful
Who: Abernathy and her sister Bernadine
When: Sometime over Spring Break
Where: Abernathy's home in Lake Luzerne, NY
What: Thinking about study after graduation, Abernathy hatches a plan to help Bernadine get the magical education she missed.
Rating: SFW.


The seniors had been encouraged to think about their plans for after graduation from early on in the year. They'd all been sent home for spring break with a pamphlet detailing University house and how the program worked on the Dresden campus.

Abernathy perused it on the ride home from the Floo station. She hadn't been planning on attending Dresden. She'd been looking at muggle colleges and had nearly settled on two or three that looked promising. The whole time she'd been thinking it over she never once managed to get a straight answer from Bernadine.

It worried her that her sister hadn't thought about what she'd do after high school. )
