Winners

[oh_earwax]

Now, I have an announcement that some of the students have been anticipating and that some have been dreading. Alas, the fates that be the student body have decided who is worthy of A Madame Puddifoot's gift certificate. I am pleased to announce that there have been no injuries between the students in hopes to win the crown. Now, on to our winners.

For Yule Ball Prince... We have Thor Odinson, a young man who knows the feel of a bludger to the chest.

For Yule Ball Princess... We have Rose Lalonde, the young lady responsible for our Halloween masquerade tea party.

For Yule Ball King... We have Arthur Kirkland, who's eyebrows look rather dashing this evening.

For Yule Ball Queen... We have Molly Hooper, who is a very talented artist. I've yet to see a more realistic cat rendering.

Fear not Ravenclaw, you have the diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw as your crown.

[brothor]

[Thor is going to stare in bewilderment for a long moment before he throws his fists up into the air and lets out a mighty roar.]

HOORAY! THAT IS MY NAME! HOORAY FOR GRYFFINDOR!

[If you're (meaning anyone) standing near him he's going to throw his arms around you or try to shake your hand.]

[patrioticspells]

[Steve is really going to regret standing next to Thor, isn't he? Maybe not now as he gets enveloped in a bone crushing embrace, but maybe later.

Hopefully he doesn't bruise.]

Congratulations!

[Manly back pats all around.]

[brothor]

[Thor is just going to sway them both from side to side while he waddles in a lazy circle. Truly the broiest of hugs.]

Thank you, Steve! [He pulls back from the hug to smile.] It should have been you.

[patrioticspells]

[The best bro hug a bro could ever ask for.]

Welcome. [A snort.] Nah. You're more the prince type then I am.

[rule_britannia]

[A more comical staring you never did see.]

... Oh my God.

[If you ever wanted to see Arthur genuinely speechless, now is a good time to get a picture.]

[allamericanreject]

[Is that a wild Alfred behind you? Why yes.]

Good on you for winning, Snazzy-brows~

[Aaand it's only after a moment or two of letting his voice sink in that he leans forward and gives Arthur a hug from behind. Hopefully not to his own detriment. He's just trying to be cute okay? BABY STEPS.]

[rule_britannia]

Hey--

[He does twitch a bit, but his elbow stays out of Alfred's stomach and he half turns his head to cast the other boy a scowl.]

As soon as I find out who nominated me I'm going to turn their hair an unflattering colour.

[allamericanreject]

[Alfred grins widely, kissing Arthur's cheek. Stealthchu~!]

Don't be so uptight. Why don't you just be happy you won something? Be proud that you're that popular!

[edle_gestalt]

[Biting the inside of his cheek, as it's too imposing to give a full-on smile. Especially with how shocked he looks, he doesn't want to make a deal out of it. But he'll put his hand on Arthur's shoulder, anyway, with a bit of a grin.]

Congratulations. Can't ever complain about free tea and pastries, now, can you?

[rule_britannia]

[He's just going to eye that hand on his shoulder like he wants to set it on fire, then look over at Roderich.]

... That really is the only consolation in this.

[catblog]

[Hi, Arthur, don't mind a Molly just awkwardly staring at you]

Um...congrats?

[rule_britannia]

Ah.. yes, likewise.

[Awkward. At least he knows her, though.]

[seeringlight]

Congratulations, Arthur.

[She may have voted for you. NOT THAT SHE'LL EVER TELL HIM.]

[rule_britannia]

Erm. Thank you.

[THAT'S OKAY HE MIGHT HAVE VOTED FOR YOU TOO.]

I have to say it's rather unexpected.

[bev_rage]

[Aw yis, just as planned. Her cousin is the Yule Princess and she couldn't be happier.]

GO, ROSIE!!!

[seeringlight]

I would have thought this title would go to someone who deserved it more. [She's trying to not blatantly say that SHE REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO BE CHOSEN. She appreciates it deep down inside, but...]

[bev_rage]

Pssh, whatchu talkin' about, Rosie? I can't think of anybody in this whole school who deserves to be a princess more than you! And obviously a whole lot of other people thought so too.

[catblog]

[....wat? Just....wat. She just has no words for this]

[latulamatata]

[You might not have them, but guess who does.

And yes, she will be loud.]

OH MY GOD, WAY TO GO MO-HOO! [She raises her hand, waiting to give her one of those usual and famous painful high fives.]

Dang girl! I'm proud of you! That's some wicked shit I wasn't expecting but the same time I was. Because MAN!! I totally voted for you, of course, and everyone should know how rad you are. But I'm surprised! I bet you have some secret admirers and you had no idea. Well, I had no idea too, and that's why I need to make some crucial investigation during and after this ball.

[catblog]

[Whoa was not expecting Latula's loud cheer coming toward her! Without realizing it, she returned the high fives with a look of confusion. Once it was over, she couldn't help but let out a wince]

Ah...I wouldn't be too sure about that. I'm sure that it was a fluke or something. But...I doubt there was any secret admirers or anything, I think they might have voted for me because it was a joke.

[Nope she doesn't believe that she won. What is self confidence?]

[seeringlight]

See Rose. See Rose's face. See Rose look extremely unhappy about the turn of events. This is the face of your Yule Ball Princess, guys.

She is not a happy princess. She is wearing a rather lavish dressrobe, sent to her by her mother for being nominated.

If she could hex everyone who voted for her, she would. But whoever nominated her gets a special place in hell when she's through with them. But, that's something she'll just think about and not actually do. "You got to be bloody kidding me."

[bubblingover]

[Rose looks like she could burn down a building, maybe the whole of Hogwarts. So, Feferi kind of wonders would it even be a good idea to congratulation her...]

Well, if you look at it this way, lots of people must really like you Rose!!

[seeringlight]

[If only she could. But only if it meant the perpetrator went down with the castle.]

This must be a joke. A ruse to embarrass me. [No one would choose her as princess!]
