The Halloween Ball! --Posted for Friday!
In all of her years at Hogwarts, in all of her years being a prefect and working on a team full of the best students in Hogwarts, Phoebe Smethwyck had never been as impressed as she was right now as she stared around the Great Hall. Illuminated with candles in all shapes and sizes (and colors, a nifty charm a sixth year had found), the tables surrounding the dance floor were decorated with pumpkins, spiderwebs, and fall leaves, creating a spooky, yet beautiful design. The Ghosts of Hogwarts had volunteered to mingle more than usual (she thanked Nearly Headless Nick profusely, and promised to hold him a belated Death-Day party), captivating the guests with stories---how much truth they held, she couldn't be sure, but they were interesting nonetheless.

The band was a new kind of wizard rock, a bit more political than the Hobgoblins, W.O.A.R. There had been a lot of discussion at the prefect meetings about whether or not they should try and book them, but at the end of the day the naysayers (read: the Slytherins) were outvoted, and the band with the hit song "Do You Believe in M.A.G.I.C" was creating an incredible atmosphere.

So---people looked happy. They were laughing, smiling, and just---happy. Not something Phoebe felt like the wizarding world had been in a long time, and she was glad to be a big part of it.

Now, if only she could find a reason to be happy, herself.

ooc: No wands! Just your ID is needed. Everyone is welcome!

The evening was going well...even if no one got that her and Stubby were supposed to be night and day. But hey, she thought she pulled off bright orange very well! She was having a great time, just...trying not to feel ill. There was talk about some sort of after party as well, but Mary wasn't sure how to say no without making it strange. She hadn't told any of the blokes that she was pregnant, so the partying and drinking thing probably wouldn't be happening anymore.

But more than that, her mind was preoccupied with searching the crowd. She knew that Gabriel would be around, and it wasn't as if she absolutely had to see him, but, well. She wanted to. She wanted to bump into him, she wanted to have a dance with him. And she figured that--that even though they were in a very public place, it would be better to tell him now rather than later, and in public rather than over a journal. He deserved to hear it straight from her.

He was actually having a good time. He'd always enjoyed listening to Octavia's conversations, even though he didn't get much in, but he did enjoy the woman's company. Gabriel found himself laughing a bit more than he had been in the last few months, and was glad that he got to catch up with friends and people he hadn't seen in quite some time.

After a bit, he offered to get some drinks, and Gabriel was milling around the punch bowl when he spotted the brightly colored dress. His eyes behind his mask lingered on it, wondering how a normally distressing color such as that could actually look...well, lovely. Maybe it was the drinks he'd had before, but he couldn't help but comment.

"Your dress is rather striking," he said, tilting his chin in the woman's direction. Gabriel smiled lightly, wondering if he should have tried a bit harder than his black suit and mask.

	Yes, Mark did just have his arrival announced as 'Maximilian Timber'. Yes, he was clothed. Yes, he'd come stag. No, he was not wearing a mask at the moment but he did have one tucked in a pocket of his dress robes for when he actually felt like mingling--which wasn't this very moment. Right now he wanted booze and Merlin, help him keep his pants on if it was free. (Reply to this)(Thread)
