          Silas had always found parties fascinating in a way he could never really explain. He never cared about the type of that ended up at parties—and he hated the amount of people that always showed up to them. But somehow they were always interesting to him. There was a slight bit of chaos that he somehow managed to feed off of. After a year that had been an absolute struggle for him, Silas was ready to put school behind. Maybe that would help with the burnout feeling, give him a new feeling of purpose. Tonight was a celebration—and he wanted to have one more night of fun before everything got serious. “If you’ve come over here to ask me to dance, I’m afraid I haven’t had quite enough to drink.” The cup in his hand was nearly empty though. “Unless you’re just here for company.”

to say it was an eventful year would be an understatement, between turmoil and triumph it was one for the books! students have celebrated highs and mourned lows and now they’re ready to just let loose and enjoy the last bash of the year. classes have come to an end and everyone is packing up for the train ride home, but not before one final party in the astronomy tower. this is the last chance for some to right wrongs or confess crushes, before moving on to the real world beyond hogwarts hallowed halls. for others it’s just another party before another year of class and quidditch. however this party finds you, remember to have some fun and raise a glass for those no longer here. bertram aubrey this one’s for you!

It took Amelia a bit longer to roll out of bed to get to Hogsmeade that day, after shoving a pillow over her head grumbling at her roommates to go on without her, they’d made her swear to meet up with them because of the speech. Amelia couldn’t care less about Rodolphos Lestrange and whatever propaganda he was going to spread today, not that she’d have cared anymore if it was Dumbledore. The wealthy girl didn’t care much for politics at this point in her life. She woke up in time to get the last carriage up to Hogsmeade, her sunglasses on and having stolen a muggle hoodie from her one of her room-mates. She walked up to the main street and looked around with a look of disdain. “I’m too hungover for this” She groaned to herself mostly, regretting not taking a potion to relieve herself of her headache.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, this is absolutely a fitting amount of whiskey. I’m celebrating, don’t you know.”

It shouldn’t have scared Benjy that much when he felt someone entirely too close in behind him. The village was busy, most of his classmates and those in the years above and below seemed to have come out, and that wasn’t to mention the normal residents of Hogsmeade. It only made sense for people to be getting close, but at the same time he couldn’t seem to get a hold on his own anxiety, moderately stoned or not. The response seemed automatic jumping and scuffling away towards the nearby shop wall, hand on his wand as he turned to see the person.

“Oh fuck--Sorry! Sorry you--”

sixteen days, two weeks. exams draw ever nearer. but for tonight? forget all that. winner or loser? venit, for the light or still stubbornly neutral? come one, come all to the biggest party of the year — the quidditch cup party. all sorts of lines are blurred tonight, and curfews are continently being forgotten... so let loose! who knows when you’ll find the time to again.

The party will take place on school grounds on the evening of Saturday May 21st 1977 through to the morning of the 22nd

The event will start at 10pm gmt and last us through the festive period till 5pm gmt January 3rd

This event is to be part of what we’re calling a holiday time freeze. Up until January 3rd the date in rp will not progress beyond May22nd but that doesn’t mean your limited to just event threads.

All open starters must be set during the event but closed starters can be set at any point up until and during the event and the immediate aftermath. Threads from before the event can be continued during it and we strongly encourage muns to explore the possibilities of closed flashback threads.

All event starters should be tagged petrificus.cupparty

This event will be accompanied by an optional writing task that will be announced December 26th.

twenty two days. three weeks. that’s all that’s left before the hell that are OWL and NEWT exams. not even sixth years can escape that tolling bell with end of year exams and the ever present knowledge that next year that will be them. but if ever an escape to hogsmeade was needed it was now. a weekend away from the school, away from exam stress, in the real world with all the stresses that brings. an election is on the horizon and hogsmeade has been chosen as the place to start the fight.

one rodolphus lestrange will be launching his bid to become the youngest ever chief warlock in earnest this weekend and with the three broomsticks booked out for festivities and speeches and free drinks how many students will turn their attention to the political? and how many will be swayed?

the hogsmeade weekend is both saturday may 14th and sunday may 15th with the campaign event taking place solely on may 14th

during the event we will be posting snapshot views of each of the three candidates (rodolphus lestrange, thomasin tuft & albus dumbledore) and their stances so keep your eyes peeled

the tag for this event is petrificus.campaign

the event will start at 5pm gmt and last for five days, the countdown linked here will help work out what time that is in different timezones

threads from before the event can be continued during it but no open non-event starters can be posted and we would encourage everyone to try and set closed starters at hogsmeade

threads from the event can be continued after it but no new event starters can be posted after it ends
