The Great Hall has been decorated in Ravenclaw colors, as both bride and groom belong to Ravenclaw house. At every place at every table is a small gift bag, Ryuuji's idea for wedding favors: each one contains a little stuffed aardvark holding a pillow with the couple's names and the date embroidered on it in tiny precise stitches, a packet of flavored gelatin and a tiny flask of vodka for the making of Evil Clown Repellant, and a stick-on transfer tattoo of the Chinese ideogram for 'happiness'. There's a vast buffet table at one end of the hall, flanked by a huge punch bowl and a huger wedding cake (red velvet cake, of course). And, somewhere amid the other buffet offerings, there is a quite attractive array of fine chocolates. If you ask any of the wedding planners where they had procured the chocolates, they'll tell you to ask one of the other wedding planners. In reality, the chocolates have been provided by no one involved in the party planning at all. Tucked under the chocolates and hidden by the decorations is a hand-written note, in a plain envelope that looks rather like a small white napkin.
A small sign outside the Hall lets people know this is the Tam-Maturin wedding reception and it's open to the whole school. There was originally a plan to distribute fliers of some sort, or more exorbitantly to owl everyone at the school. Unfortunately, the drafted invitations got somehow mixed up with the invitations Ryuuji had designed for Stephen's bachelor party, and Stephen refused to countenance the sending of invitations bearing the likeness of Immodestly Hot Homsar. Word of mouth would have to be good enough. Besides, most people eat in the Great Hall anyhow.
(( As with previous magic-chocolates RPs, the effects of each chocolate are up to the mun of the character who eats it. Have fun! ))

There were so many new people at Hogwarts, and she'd been hiding out in her room so much lately that she almsot felt like she'd left and come back again to a Hogwarts full of strangers.

No, what she meant when she said 'I don't have a thing to wear' was, I don't have a thing to wear that isn't black, red, white or some combination thereof - these being favorites of hers, none of them suitable fashion statements for a wedding in her view.
Just when she'd been ready to give up, she found just the thing. (http://www.rustyzipper.com/shop.cfm/rz/viewpartnum~97022/backtorow~8/maxshow~20/startshow~1/SIZE~/ERA~1980/TYPE~Dresses/SEARCH~/GENDER~Womens/PRICE~ALL/SITE~rustyzipper/97022.cfm) There wasn't time to put it through the reinforcing spell (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/932061.html) Harry Dresden taught her to protect her clothes from claws, so Laura entered the hall with a slightly grumpy treecat trailing along behind her.
She turned this way and that, scanning the room for familiar faces, while Galahad slipped away unnoticed to check out the buffet.

Date: 2007-01-21 07:05 am (UTC)Such was his cheerfulness on the occasion of someone else's wedding, that he struck up an impromptu conversation with a rather serious-looking and white-haired young lady nearish the end of a table. "Wonderful things, weddings, don't you know. Two hearts beating as one, joined through, you know, eternity." Eternity! It was a big thought. Eternity! "And this is really a smashing party, you know. Bright and cheerful. Almost doesn't look like a wedding party at all, does it? There's a marked lack of aunts standing in chorus, looking on with disapproval."
In Bertie's world, aunts always looked on with disapproval. It was, in fact, what they were for. Even Aunt Dahlia, a topper and a sport in nearly all ways, was often given to censure.

Date: 2007-01-21 06:05 am (UTC)Time between that drink and him pouring his second: 47 seconds.
...oo, chocolate. He and his second drink make a direct line for the buffet, hoping they have crab puffs too.
Next to him, Dief gives a little grunt of disapproval, and Ray looks down and shrugs. "Having a bad freaking day, Dief. Didn't sleep. Wonder whose fault that was?" Freakin' snoring wolf. "You want some chicken or something?" He picks up a chocolate and pops it whole into his mouth.

Date: 2007-01-21 06:39 am (UTC)He was tempted to go back to his room and change, but then he spotted Ray and Diefenbaker. Well... perhaps he'd just say hello, and then go and change. It was a little embarrassing to be seen at a formal event in subpar clothes (although in reality, his formal dress uniform was almost identical to the red serge he was already wearing), but a couple of minutes wouldn't destroy his reputation, surely.
"Ray! Do you know what's going on?" he asked as he approached. Dief was summarily ignored; he wasn't about to pay him any attention right now. Dief, annoyed, whuffed at him and started trying to get at the chocolates.

chocolatebrown thing from a lovely tray) and drifted off, vaguely determined to socialize.no subject
Date: 2007-01-21 07:57 am (UTC)She, too, had collected a plate, including one of the chocolates, and spotting Sansa, who she judged to be about her sister Beth's age, she walked over.
"Hello," she said warmly, giving Sansa a friendly smile. "What do you think of... all this?" She gestured at the great hall and the buffet table, encompassing the whole room. "I only wish I knew the people getting married... well... at all, really."

That will show them.

Nemo looks around for people he knows.
((Stephen- and River-muns, if you'd like River to meet Nemo, that can happen now, before Nemo transforms to boy-form and imbibes in chocolate. I'll be responding slowly.))

She catches herself just in time. "Oh! Sorry!" she says immediately, without thinking.

Which it did not; but Penny only had a moment to reflect on her luck in not getting a liquid center when her hand faded. She dropped the chocolate and looked down with some dismay; her entire body, including her lovely dress, was fading to sheer translucency.
She waited a moment to see if she would disappear entirely, but no - she was still there, thankfully, just transparent. This was not good. Penny got to her feet and looked around for help.
