"Say cheese!"

Alice set the camera on its timer and rushed forward to slide under Frank's arm. The room filled with a chorus of 'CHEESE' and a loud grumbling of 'No' as the flash nearly blinded everyone in the room.

"Goodness, Alice," Emmeline Vance mumbled, pressing her hands into her eyes. Alice blinked a few times to try and rid her vision of the rainbow-colored spots and hurried (well, stumbled, wow--that flash was very bright) back to the camera to catch the picture as it fell out of the front. Swiftly, she held it up to watch it come into focus and instantly her vision was cleared. Oh, see. They were such a lovely bunch, even if a few of them hated each other.

You were allowed to hate someone and still look lovely together, Alice believed.

"Okay! Well!" She waved her free hand around, anyone who wanted to look at the picture (though she could probably make copies! Ooh--) could come up and snatch it away from her...not without a fight, of course, "Food is---"

Alice watched as the group immediately dispersed toward the food and drinks and other activities she and Frank and Marlie had managed to set up in the Longbottom's rather expanse backyard. Yes, the Order, while amazing crime fighters, also had the keenest sense of of smell and taste--or was it just they were really hungry?

"Happy Valentine's Day!"

Eliza smiled happily over at the Ravenclaws as they entered the dormitory, even if they stared back oddly. There wasn't much time before curfew left, and even though she'd been invited through the entrance, Eliza felt like waiting outside for Dedalus tonight. Why? She couldn't be sure, maybe it was that her mind was too silly to answer one of the knocker's questions tonight, or maybe because she wanted to snog in the corridor.

Mm, that was probably it. Though the knocker had been asking some difficult questions, leaving some lovestruck couples stumped for a good few minutes before they were allowed access. Mm, no, no she wasn't going to attempt to persuade the knocker to let her in, Dedalus could come and rescue her from the trials that was entering the Ravenclaw dorm.

She probably should have told him that she was going to wait outside, but she figured a kind soul would inform their head boy that his girlfriend was standing outside. Because it was Valentine's Day! Everyone had to be nice today. Or else they got jeered at--

"People are kind," she said with a laugh as Dedalus appeared. Eliza leaned back into the wall, one foot pressed up against it as she grinned, "My mind is far too scrambled tonight to get past the knocker."

Ralph pulled the book closer to his chest and leaned back into his chair, letting the book jut into his stomach as he read the same sentence he had been looking at for the past ten minutes. For some reason, he couldn't really focus and honestly enough, he didn't feel like doing anything either. Too many things we racing through his head. Or at least occupying his focus. It wasn't a lot of things, but they were big things that tended to take up a lot of thought-thinking and--- yes. He definitely needed some sleep.

( Letting out a sigh, Ralph pushed the book back into the middle of the table. )
