User blog:Ckohrs0221/Let's Have A Ball!



So, I think it was nearly two IC terms ago now that the notion of having a Ball was brought up! So, as the title of this blog would imply... Hogwarts is having one! Over Christmas, to be exact. I know it's typically a tradition seen during the Triwizard Tournament, but it's a week where there's not too much going on IC, due to the week being off of classes for the Christmas holiday, so it seemed like a good week to do it. :)

So what does this mean?

When is it happening?

For a whole week IC (week 4), the Ball will take place. It will begin Midnight UTC time on Monday of week 4, and end Sunday 11:59 UTC (and the start of week 5). This should give everyone plenty of time to RP.

Who can come?

The Yule Ball from the books was only open to 4th years and older (younger students by invitation), but we'll break with canon a little, and 3rd years on up are welcome. But first and second years will just have to wait. If you have younger students staying at Hogwarts over the Christmas holidays, you can RP them in other places around the castle, but please not inside the event itself.

Where is it happening?

We will resurrect The Yule Ball for the dance itself, as well as The Yule Ball/Other Areas for food/drink/other mingling. Watch the Community Corner for announcements when these open Week 4!

So let the IC planning/asking/funness begin!



If only we could all be as suave as Fred...
