Holiday Slumber Party Opportunity to meet new friends and connect with old before holiday.
On a snowy December night, the Great Hall is transformed into a magical haven for an all-girls slumber party. The towering ceilings are adorned with floating, shimmering snowflakes that cast a soft, enchanting glow upon the festivities below. The four long tables that usually occupy the hall have been cleared away, making room for an array of comfortable beds, arranged neatly in rows to accommodate all the girls.
The beds are adorned with plush, velvet blankets in various shades of deep purple, emerald green, and royal blue, each embroidered with the respective house crests. Fluffy pillows in matching colors provide extra comfort, inviting the girls to sink into their cozy spaces. The beds are magically self-adjusting to accommodate each girl's preferences, ensuring a perfect night's rest for all.
In the center of the hall, a large round table is laden with a feast fit for the occasion. There are trays of delectable treats, including chocolate frogs, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, and colorful macarons that change flavors with each bite. The table also offers an assortment of finger foods, such as mini pumpkin pasties, bite-sized sandwiches, and crisp, golden snitch-shaped crackers.
Adjacent to the food table, a smaller, elegantly decorated section displays an array of spa items. Jars filled with fragrant, shimmering bath salts beckon the girls to indulge in a luxurious soak, while an assortment of face masks, infused with magical ingredients, promise to leave their skin glowing and refreshed. Fluffy towels and silk robes in each house's colors complete the pampering experience.
Magical candy stations are scattered throughout the hall, showcasing a variety of sweet delights. Bubbling cauldrons filled with self-stirring hot chocolate, enchanted to remain warm throughout the night, emit a rich, irresistible aroma. Glistening trays offer delicate crystallized rose petals and other edible flowers, granting a whimsical touch to the night's treats. Colorful lollipops, which emit sparks and play soothing melodies when sucked, add a touch of enchantment to the air.
In a cozy corner of the hall, plush couches and oversized armchairs are arranged to create a warm gathering space. Soft, knitted blankets and oversized cushions invite the girls to relax and engage in conversations, laughter, and storytelling. The space is further enhanced by the warm glow of crackling fireplaces, providing both warmth and a mesmerizing ambiance...
OOC: Open to: Girls only/All houses. Open until: The thread fizzles out. Suggested: Let the drama fly. Holiday begins soon. Some games that might help are truth or dare, two truths and a lie, etc. Or you can make a friend that you might keep until after Christmas

Aracely nervously walks into the Great Hall with bright and curious eyes, not exactly sure what she was walking in to. The room had been transformed into a dreamy slumber party paradise, with twinkling lights hanging from the ceiling, colorful cushioned seating, and a beautifully decorated spot table filled with an array of health and beauty items. "Wow..."
As she entered, her senses were overwhelmed by all the varying smells mingling in the air; A mixture of foods, mouthwatering desserts, and fragrant scents from lotions and bath products. Aracely couldn't help but smile with anticipation.
Her gaze was immediately drawn to the spa table as it was filled with a variety of goodies: There were face masks, scented candles, bath bombs, and jars filled with luxurious creams. It was a treasure trove of pampering delights.
She took a deep breath and moved slowly about the room, eyes on the lookout for any of her friends. The lounge space was set up with cozy cushioned seating and loungers, and the fluffiest looking blankets, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Aracely imagined herself curling up in one of those bean bags later, surrounded by new friends and laughter. Or perhaps playing witness to some dramas... She'd never attended an all-girls-only event in the castle before.
She was a little nervous about the night and how it would play out. Thoughts of retreating quickly to her room pop into her head... but Aracely reminded herself that her sister would be joining the slumber party at some point and that thought brought her comfort. She was determined participate in these kinds of things, things she would have never before-- before Ezra opened her mind and heart to new things.
Wearing a comfortable, heather-gray romper, Aracely felt both relaxed and stylish in an outfit that could pass as loungy or not. It was her way of expressing herself without going all out in pajamas... just incase no one else was wearing pajamas... but that fear was proved silly as she looked around. She noticed girls in various outfits, some in classic pajamas, others in cute sleep shorts and t-shirts, some just wearing casual attire like sweatpants and hoodies. She felt good with her choice.
Aracely made her way to the spa table, where she really wanted to explore. She picked up a jar of lavender-scented lotion and applied it to her hands, relishing in the soothing aroma. She picks her head up again and looks around the room wondering where Ameryn was.

Post by Bellamy Raya Saffron on Jun 8, 2023 21:12:12 GMT -8
The moonlight cascaded through the towering windows of Hogwarts Castle, casting a silvery glow on the stone walls. It was a crisp, cool night, and Bellamy, a dark-haired and strikingly beautiful Slytherin girl, stood at the doorway of her dorm room, contemplating this decision.
Tonight was the all-girls sleepover event and she had no idea what to expect. Does she leave the comfort of her bed and venture into a night of unknowns?
Bellamy presses her hands down the front of her pajamas, a silk button-down set that pairs a long-sleeve top with matching shorts. It is a striking blue color that vibrantly compliments her dark hair and glowing complexion.
As she made her way through the corridors, Bellamy couldn't help but feel some apprehension. Yes, she felt more than a little uncomfortable navigating the halls in her pajama set-- what if she ran into someone she knew? One of the boys, obviously... but also she had always found it challenging to connect with other girls, and navigating social dynamics tonight could prove to be tricky.
Nevertheless, she continued on. She wondered if she might have the chance to connect with Anneli Oden tonight. The chance encounter with Loce in the clocktower courtyard still fresh on her mind.
The great hall had been transformed, as usual to represent the night's event. Tables displayed delicacies stretched as far as the eye could see: food and delectable desserts. The aroma of freshly baked pastries wafted through the air and made Bellamy smile.
Amidst the lavish spread, there were various spa amenities set up, offering the promise of relaxation. Bellamy's eyes widened with delight as she caught sight of a secluded seating area, piled high with plush pillows and soft blankets. It beckoned to her, offering comfort and serenity.
As Bellamy approached the seating area, her eyes caught sight of a plate piled high with chocolate chip cookies. Her restraint disappearing for the night, she decided to resist any and all temptations. So, she plucks a cookie from the plate and takes a happy nibble, delighted at the sweetness of the chocolate.
With a contented sigh, Bellamy finally sinks into a large, comfortable-looking chair. She nestled herself among the plush pillows and draped a soft blanket across her legs, relishing the feeling of warmth and relaxation. She was happy, at least for now, to fully embrace the ambiance of the sleepover.

Heather excitedly jogs down to the Great Hall. She was SO ready for a girl's night. She was glad her idea came to fruition. She really wanted to get to know the others girls a lot better. They all seemed great, whether they'd spoken once or a bunch of times. Heather was just excited to gossip, stay up late, and have some nice quality girl's time. "Hey ladies!" she says as she enters the great hall. She gave everyone a grin. Then she took in her surroundings and gasped. "Wow, look at all this!" She couldn't decide what she wanted to do first -- hot chocolate or hit the spa and try everything on the table? Hot chocolate ultimately couldn't wait. She tiptoed over to one of the floating cauldrons and served herself some. "How's everyone's night going?!"

With a wide smile on her face, Ameryn, got dressed in her absolute favorite red silken pajama set. The smooth fabric felt luxurious against her skin, and she loved how the vibrant red color made her feel confident and bold.
Ameryn departs her cozy dormitory room in Gryffindor Tower, feeling nothing but excitement. Today was a special day, or night really. The school had organized a girls-only sleepover event in the Great Hall, and Ameryn had looked forward to it the moment it was announced. The headmistress really knew how to throw events together and Ameryn was certain it would be an awesome evening.
Ameryn was dying to talk to Aracely and this would be the perfect time. She needed the tea on her sister's budding relationship with Ezra Ansel. There were stolen glances, playful teasing, and an undeniable chemistry that sparked between Aracely and Ezra whenever they were together.
Ameryn entered the Great Hall and the atmosphere was filled with laughter, chatter, the delightful scent of freshly baked cookies... and "Ooooh Hot Chocolate!" She cheers to herself, loud enough for anyone near her to have heard.
She happily moves in that direction and spots a Hufflepuff girl already serving herself. She recognised her from the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. "Now, you have the right idea... This is how you start off a slumber party!" She grins in Heather Nicholson's direction as Ameryn fills up her own cup with the steaming chocolate. She holds it up in a silent salute toward Heather to say, 'cheers.'
Ameryn spots her sister among the crowd, beyond where Heather is standing. It looked like Aracely was busy admiring the spa table. Ameryn lifts her arm in a wide, sweeping waving gesture to get her sister's attention and say 'hi' all at the same time.

"I am OBSESSED with those PJs!" she tells Ameryn. "Ameryn, right? Ugh they're so cute!" she says as she admires the girl's pajamas. Heather takes another sip of her hot chocolate before adding another scoop of marshmallows to it. "Truly nothing better than hot chocolate!" She leans against the table and takes another sip.
She turns toward Aracely. "Why don't we bring all the spa stuff into the center so we can pamper ourselves and chat?" she suggests. "That way we don't have to be so far from each other."

Post by Cordelia Burke on Jun 22, 2023 10:30:50 GMT -8
Cordelia Burke closed the heavy wooden door of her room behind her with a soft click. As she made her way towards the Great Hall, the sounds of chatter grew louder. She had seen girls squealing through the halls as they practically skipped past her, eager to join the party. It made her chuckle at the frivolity of it all.
Cordelia had received an Owl from home just minutes before. A letter from her mother urging... no... instructing Cordelia to keep in line... that there had been rumblings of... other kids losing sight of the big pictures that their families have made for them. It was a vague letter. But Cordelia just knew it had something to do with Loce, Anneli and her family.
She sighs. If remors had reached her parents regarding Wolf Cordelia was sure it would have been a very different letter. Probably a howler... possibly even an in-person visit. Cordelia groans at the thought.
The hall is full of warmth and merriment. Everywhere she looked, girls were scattered across the floor, lounging on cozy blankets and cushions, all sporting an array of vibrant pajamas. Cordelia looks down at her own outfit. She decided to go with actual comfort. Probably not what most would expect of her.
She'd skipped any silky or lacey, more alluring pajama sets and instead wears a luxury cotton sweatshirt and sweatpant combo with a cashmere interior. The perfect Slytherin shade of green. Plain and plush.
Cordelia's eyes immediately scanned the room, searching for Anneli. Cordelia knew Anneli was usually punctual, and her absence was unusual. Why wasn't she here yet? Was she off with Loce?
Setting her concern aside for the moment, Cordelia decided to explore the festivities. Cordelia's mouth watered as she took in the delectable dessert offerings, making a mental note to indulge herself a little later. She spots Bellamy, another Slytherin girl, and takes a seat near her.
"Hey." She greets simply. Bellamy had snagged a good section of plush chairs, pillows and blanketing. Cordelia's eyes move toward the spa table where some others familiar girls were gathered.

Ameryn looks over at Heather again,with bright eyes and a big smile. She waves her hand, "Oh stop!" She grins at the compliment. Then she gives a little twirl because she really also loved this silky set and had been thrilled to wear it tonight. She looks at Heather's outfit. "A high compliment coming from you, dressed so fashionably." Ameryn compliments in return. Heather had a magnificent vibe and paired with a silky looking robe? Very cool.
Ameryn nods her head eagerly, "That is a splendid idea!" Ameryn moves toward Aracely and grabs an armful of fun, spa items. Once she felt her pile looked sufficient enough she grins and pulls out her wand to enchant the items to float along behind her. She turns her head, looking for a great place to settle and then notices Cordelia sitting with tons of open spaces beside her.
Ameryn nods to Heather and points in that direction, "Let's go join the Slytherin ladies." She says.
Although she's not one-hundred percent sure Cordelia would want the intrusion... but Ameryn figured why not. They'd gone to the same after-party Loce Vaisey hosted in the room of requirement. Maybe they weren't friends per say... but maybe they could be?
Ameryn plops down on some soft cushions, taking the final sip of her hot chocolate as she let the spa items gently settle on the floor in the middle of everyone. "Evening, ladies." Ameryn says, greeting Cordelia and Bellamy, and with a grin adds, "Let's get the party started, huh."

Post by Jadis Ravenwood on Jun 23, 2023 9:47:42 GMT -8
Jadis Ravenwood moved through the hallowed halls in her heathered purple pajama set, (picked of course, to match her purple hair) and plain white canvas sneakers. Word had spread like wildfire as soon as the massive girls-only slumber party event was announced and tonight was the night.
The moment Jadis strolled into the Great Hall, she was engulfed in a whirlwind of various tables set up with lots of fun stuff and foods and laughter. It was an enchanting atmosphere, pretty much as expected. Any event was always done to perfection. It was a sea of girls, representing all varying Hogwarts houses, gathered together, chattering and giggling.
Jadis found herself moving through the throngs of people she didn't know, until one person caught her eye. "Heather-- You look fantastic." Jadis beams at her Hufflepuff Quidditch teammate. Honestly, the girls hadn't hung out socially, outside of Quidditch, so this would be a nice change of pace. They got along splendidly on the pitch, so why not off it too.
Jadis looks around at the group, all houses represented. "Everyone looks great, super comfortable."
Jadis looks around the grand room."I wonder if there are any, like, little events planned for the evening... or if it's just a free-for-all type thing..." She wonders aloud. She glances at the dessert table and lifts her wand to accio some delicious treats over to the group, letting a large tray sit on the floor in the middle of them all, right beside a huge pile of spa items.
Happily she picks up a cauldron cakes and takes eager bites. "Yum." She smiles.

"Hey Jadis!" She greets with a smile as the girl enters. She makes her cup of hot chocolate float in the air by her head so that there was no chance it would accidentally get knocked over with all of the spa stuff around them. She reaches for it and takes a sip and then lets it hang in the air again. She looks through one of the baskets of stuff. "Ooh, face masks!" she announces and sets the basket down in the middle in case anyone wanted one. She peers into another basket and finds nail care kits. She grabs one and opens it, taking out a nail file and adjusting the edges of her nails.
"Okay, ladies, who has tea to share?"
