Turn up the noise (OPEN TO ALL)

First topic message reminder :

Alayna was ready for tonight. She had been wanting to throw a good party for a while now and she finally got Carina to agree to co-host with her. The place was decorated in neon paint and lots of glow in the dark decorations. She loved it. She had music playing through the air and a stage set up in case any of the musically gifted students wanted to perform anything. It was gone be the best party ever.

"Nah, yer just high."

He studied Chang's form as he waited to feel more of the effects of the dust. The bass of the pop music wasn't that bad now... James just needed to not be consumed by it.

"Iono."

Who cared where Alayna was? "Want more?"

@Lien Chang

"Am... I in love with her, or am I just in love with this room?"

He took off his shirt and waved it into the air.

"This isn't a flag," he informed James, leaning back against the wall and taking off his glasses. Then he put them on again. Then on, then off. Then he was laughing. "Should I go swimming again?" He laughed louder.

"Might be the room since she ain't in front of ya."

James found himself cracking up quite loudly at Chang. Maybe he'd have an easier time with him if he was like this. "I knew ye had a fun side..." Getting up from the floor, he walked over to him.

"Could get ye a bucket." That was a good idea actually. Good thing this was the Room of Requirement... A bucket materialized out of thin air and he used his wand to pour ice cool water into it. "Chang, I wish I could be experiencin' a first high again like ye are."

He was much more attractive when he wasn't officious...

@Lien Chang

She was pretty straight edge except for occasional alcohol consumption, but if it'd help her wake up. "Thanks," Cherry said to Gemma before taking some of the pills.

Cherry was still lost about what was going on, but she figured it'd all click sometime soon. "Leave the party? Where would we be going in Hogsmeade..?"

@Gemma Parkinson @Hazel Cartwright @Louis Weasley

Lukas chuckled lightly, "Yeah. oleander isn't the type to mention me I don't think. Our mother is, well, you know." He rubbed the back of his neck and sipped his drink again, "Why would he send you away? Coming out of the closet gone wrong?" He wondered if the rumors had been true.

@Atticus Nott

Alayna noticed the flirtatious banter between her brother and Parkinson and smiled, "I'm gonna go check on some things. You two have fun." She stepped away and began walking through all the people. She bumped into James and noticed him with Lien, "Are you guys good?!" She shouted over the music

@James Potter @Lien Chang @Atticus Nott

Dom had entered Hogwarts to visit the guy she had been talking to. When she heard students whispering if a party, it made her reminiscent of her student years. Maybe she could just check it out. She was still young and cool and fun. She could party like to was her sixth year still. She entered the room of requirement and was blown away by the atmosphere. The place looked wicked cool. She weaved through the crowd until she saw her brother. Good for him! He was getting out. She walked over to him and threw an arm around his shoulder, "Louis bear!!!!" She said kissing his cheek. She had already had a few glasses of wine that evening, so she was a bit tipsy, "I'm so glad I found you!"

@Louis Weasley

"More or less. But there was no way it could've gone right."

He smiled briefly at him.

"I'm not sure what Theodore would've preferred: me being gay, or me being a squib. At least if I was born a squib, I would've been out of the house a lot earlier." That was one heck of a silver lining, given that his Father would probably have maltreated him much more if he was a squib.

"And how about you?" he asked suddenly: "Straight boys don't look at me like that." He explained, smirking.

@Lukas Parkinson

"There really never is, unfortunately." Most of the coming out stories he had heard resulted in chaos and broken families. It sucked. Luckily he had a mother who didn't really care and no father in sight to disappoint. He didn't like the words Atticus was saying, none the less, it was cruel to think what his father had done to him. He was bit thrown off that Atticus thought he was straight and burst out laughing, "Honey. I haven't done anything straight since I came straight out of Pansy's snatch. I came out of the closet when I was 12. So trust me, I'm looking at you for a different reason."

@Atticus Nott

Lien was too busy staring at his reflection in the bucket of water to really grasp what Potter was saying. He'd forgotten that he was even there. He was just standing there, gazing in wonderment at his own reflection. His shirt dropped to the floor. He quickly took off his shoes, socks and trousers hurriedly, knowing he had to dive right inside of the bucket! He just forgot that buckets were too small to dive into.

So he just put his head in there.

Everyone's voices were underwater. He thought he heard Alayna's. Air bubbles popped noisily at the surface of the bucket as he laughed.

"I gathered."

He looked beyond him, to Chang - his dorm mate - in his underwear.

"So that's what he wears. I don't know why, I imagined he was more of a briefs guy than a grey boxers guy."

He regarded him for a short while, then looked back at Parkinson.

"You seem confident. But I've got a feeling you won't be doing the same, at least not in here."

@Lukas Parkinson

Oh shit... He never thought he'd see Chang pants-only. He paid closer attention only because there was nothing better to do. Whew, the temperature really was going up. James threw off his sweater to adjust to the sudden change. Guess Chang was right about it being far too warm!

"Are ye gonna become a fish? I can reel ye in."

Ha. Lien Chang a fish. Too bad he wasn't hallucinating or this could've been a lot more interesting. Ah, there was Alayna. "All good, Nott. Y'know, ye should adjust the temperature in here. Think my skin's 'bout to combust." Heh. Combust. Com. Bust. Ha.

@Lien Chang @Alayna Nott

"Dominique? How did you get here?"

He beamed at her, and gave her a big hug.

"Actually, I'm just about to leave with Hazel. She's not feeling too well."

He was stood with her still.

@Dominique Weasley

Lukas followed Atticus line of sight and raised an eyebrow at Chang, "I didn't know he was fit like that. Not bad." He smirked at the challenge and held his drink out to Atticus, "Hold this for me, will you?" He then started removing articles of clothing until he was in his own boxers. He took the drink back from him and sipped it, "I never back down from a challenge, Nott. You should remember that for future."

@Atticus Nott

Alayna shook her head, "Pretty sure that's because of the drugs, James. Speaking of, how rude not to offer the hostess any." She said with a pout on her lips. She noticed Lien with his head in a bucket and frowned, "The high of the first time. Nothing like it." She said, pulling out her wand to change the temperature in the room a bit for them, "There we go, boys."

@James Potter @Lien Chang

"I was a visiting a friend. And I heard whispers of a party. And you know I love a good party." She frowned when Louis said he was leaving, "Seriously? This early. Come on, Lou. I've barely seen you since I got back. Hang ouuut. Party with me." She said, shaking his shoulders in a sort of shimmy, "It'll be fun. Way more fun than leaving. Maybe she needs a drink and to just let loose. You know that's my expertise."

@Louis Weasley

"Aye, couldn't help that yer occupied," James retorted as he wiped some sweat from his brow. Still so hot... "Chang, make some room."

Pulling out his wand, he expanded the size of the bucket to be more of a pool. "Don't drown." James attempted to cannonball into the slightly-bigger kiddie pool only to land right on his ass.

"Splish splash!"

Pixie dust was weird for him as he had a different reaction every time. Maybe it depended on who he took it with?

@Lien Chang @Alayna Nott

Hazel didn’t mind going somewhere else but what happened ruined her want to have a fun tonight. She didn’t like drama and when Louis sister came, she was a little worried right now. “I’m good, but if you’d like to go Louis that’s fine. I wouldn’t want to ruin your night anymore for you.” she spoke with a sigh, because she did feel bad for causing a scene, but she felt like something wasn’t right with Carina.

She didn’t like losing things.

“I am good, I think I’ll go to Hogsmeade with Cherry and Gemma.” she said giving Cherry and Gemma a smile. She didn’t feel comfortable with going back in there. “I think Gemma is talking about this really cool bar in Hogsmeade.” said Hazel. She heard a couple talk about it.

It was worth a try.

@Louis Weasley @Dominique Weasley @Cherry Darling @Gemma Parkinson

Ellie was excited to hear about a party being thrown and knew she couldn’t miss it. Sure she was running late, but she had to get some homework done. She also had to look over a couple routines.

She entered the Room of Requirement really excited, and hoped to find someone to talk too, but it didn’t take long for her to spot Ashton who she liked. “Hey Ashton?” she said with a lot of excitement, he was super cute, but Faolan was cuter. She just wanted someone to talk too.

@Ashton Harrington

Dom looked the girl over and smiled a bit, "Are you Louis mouth date?" She then leaned closer to Louis, "That's what James calls them, right?" She didn't mean any disrespect, she was just buzzed. "No no no. It's totally fine. I can always kidnap him some other time." She said, leaned into his shoulder, "But you owe me, Louis. Or I'll tell everyone about what happened when you were six at the petting zoo."

@Louis Weasley @Hazel Cartwright

"How is there now a pool here?! And why are James Potter and Lien Chang in it together?!"

Errrr.

"I need a drink, Narks."

@Narkissos Jetson

Narkissos could hardly register his surroundings as a result of all the overwhelming stimuli. There was something happening everywhere. He looked over at Faye.

"I don't know... I think I need one too..."

@Faye Phiera

Ashton looked down where the voice came from and smirked, "Well well well if it isn't little Hux. You finally decided to come join the fun?" He grabbed 2 drinks from a near by tray and handed one to her, "Well let me be the escort on your time to fun. Bottoms up, love." He said, tipping ha head back and downing the cup in one go, "Tell me, love. Why have we never really hung out before? You're gorgeous and seem like fun. Not matter what your sister says. You're fun, aren't you?" He was definitely drunk and under the influence of some questionable things.

@Eleanor Huxley

He held the boy's drink, and watched in quiet astonishment.

"Oh... kay."

That was all he could manage, as he handed Lukas back his drink.

"Well. Good for you."

He eyed him a little bit. He was such a twink. Atticus didn't mind that, really.

@Lukas Parkinson

He looked at Hazel, and was about to say that he would be coming along with her. That's what he said he'd do, so that's what he was going to do. Of course, the appearance of his sister was wonderful. So, in true Louis Weasley style, he met a friendly compromise:

"Perhaps you could join us later, Dominique."

He beamed at her.

"Then you can meet Hazel properly."
