STATUS: Ongoing

For once, the sun is shining brightly as the Hogwarts Express makes its way to it's destination. It's been a long Summer, but now it's time to leave behind all the playing and mischief in order to go forth and be productive students- haha, as if that's going to stop anyone!

The arrival at Hogwarts is cheerful and exciting. There seem to be lots of new people here this year, both students and professors alike. Everyone seems to be excited to start the new year off, and the elves have outdone themselves this year. The start of term feast is delicious and full of all kinds of deliciou food. The sky above the Great Hall features a crystal clear, brightly shining moon and twinkling stars.

As the feast ends, Dumbledore will rise and make his usual announcements- but the difference is, he doesn't send everyone to bed. Instead, he claps his hands and the tables move out of the way and music starts playing. He says that tonight is a very special night! It marks the 1000th year anniversary that Hogwarts has been open! So a party is being thrown in honor of such a special occasion!

Over the course of the night, as if the castle itself wants to get in on things and make it's impact, some people will find that they are more prone to opening up. They won't exactly spill their guts, but if they have feelings they wish to share with someone, then they'll find themselves much less inclined to keep shut on them. This will carry on all night, and well into the next day or two.

So mingle, have fun, and try not to indulge in too many desserts! You do still have class tomorrow.

[Thor doesn't seem disheartened at Herbert's cold reaction. In fact, it only seems to encourage him to be more enthusiastic. He beams down at him, only exaggerating the height difference between them.]

It's only fair I should grow with all of the food I consume! Perhaps you should partake in more of the desserts, West!

[preanimator]

That would cause me to grow out rather than up. Height is generally determined by genetics, as long as a minimum level of nutrition is met. Sugar isn't going to increase my height, nor add to my rather unimpressive looks. Your parents must be quite attractive.

[ ... now why had he said that? He knew perfectly well why he'd thought it, but he usually had a better reign on his mouth.]

[brothor]

Perhaps not, but a little more confidence would do you no ill. [He gives him that funny little look for his sulk and for the comments about his parents.]

There is nobody more beautiful than my Mor and I will challenge anyone who dares disagree. [Have a defiant little nod.] It is said that Far was considerably more attractive when he had both eyes, but Mor and I agree it adds character.

[preanimator]

[little roll] You don't have to act defiant when I've given you a compliment, honestly. I'm not going to argue with you. There seldom seems to be any point to it.

[brothor]

I am not being defiant!!! [He says, defiantly.] I am merely expressing my familiar opinions. Do you not feel pride for your own parents?

[preanimator]

[shrugs] No, why should I? My father isn't even around any more, and I'm fairly sure he left because he hated me, and my mother thinks I'm bizarre and doesn't want anything to do with me. Neither of them are particularly outstanding people in any way.
