photographs taken here

[Scarlett Barker]

Of course you'll want to record this event for posterity. So please stop by so the poor prefects assigned this duty will have something to do besides sit, and wonder what they did to get roped into this job.

(OOC: please post image of you / your date / friends in your all your prettiness.)

[Rio Nott]

Rio dropped by the photo booth before the ball was to far underway. She had already lost count of how many clothing changes she had made tonight, but figured she'd better get one in what she was pretty sure her parents would almost deem an an acceptable outfit before one of the younger boys managed to catch her in the midst of a food fight. Besides she still had rounds, and then work to change for. Normally they wouldn't let a minor off grounds after a certain time. But as she was head girl and the only reason she needed to leave was to work for the Valentines Day celebration in town an exception had been made.

"Scarlett, enjoying your evening?" She grinned at the sixth year who in turn smiled back before snapping a photo.

[Scarlett Barker]

"Oh, Immensely. Thanks for letting me have first shot with the camera by the way. It keeps me having to pretend I haven't heard my father's speech before."

Scarlett looked at the photo.

"Okay, you are ever so slightly out of frame. I can take it again if you like."

[Rio Nott]

"Maybe you better catch me later. Or not. Honestly I'm just my focus is on making sure all of the decorations are in place. Pathetic, I know. What can I say? Besides I'd better be headed over to sit with my housemates."

The elder girl gave a half smile. She adored Scarlett, she really did. But today as more about responsibility than fun for her. And making the rounds. And making sure she had sent her housemates, prefects, first years, and fellow slug club members candygrams.


"Be seeing you later, though."

As she began to leave she saw Martha Tyrel coming over, and waved. Martha had really stepped up tonight and Rio would be the first to say they couldn't have pulled this off without her. Walking away she gave a small wave to both girls and faded into the crowd.

[Martha Tyrel]

Martha gave a small wave to Rio as she rushed away, and turned then turned to Scarlett. "Oh, I have some photos I took earlier tonight. Fairly certain you're making this chaperone job far too easy on my brother. I keep waiting for him to ask father if there's a future in it for him. Reminds me, you better get a photograph of dad fairly early. The two of them, confined quarters... No telling what could happen."

She smiled as Scarlett prepared to take her photo.

"Right then, I should get seated. And when I get back we switch out?" Having received confirmation from Scarlett in the form of a nod, and some sort of dance move Martha turned on her heel as she headed to her destination.

[Roxanne Weasley]

"Hiya Scarlett," Roxanne Weasley walked up with several other Gryffindor girls in tow. "Ready for my closeup." Roxy gave her nest glamor girl pose as she pulled Ashna into frame.

[Ashna Corner]

"Roxanne Weasley," The serious look Ashna had on her face during her photo was washed away as she , replaced it with one of exasperation."I cannot believe you did that!"

"Tell me Scarlett, do I look as awkward as I feel? Oh, I nearly forgot. Have you seen my sister? I have a corsage I bought for her. Well, I bought one for each of us actually. They don't match or anything silly. I saw it in town and, well.." Looking down at the corsage comprised of calla lilies and tiger lilies she shrugged. "I suppose it's a sort of present."

She felt Roxanne tug on her arm and smiled politely. "Aye, Weasley! It wouldn't kill you to slow down a bit." Sighing she glanced back to Scarlett. "Sorry, I should probably go now if I wish to keep my arm attached."

[Helena McFadden]

Helena walked up to Scarlett. "Not a word, Scarlett Jane. Not a word. You may be my cousin but I will not hesitate to pull out my wand and send you straight to the infirmary. And don't do that to your face..." Helena shook her head, what was that ? It looked like an albino frog sticking it's tongue out, but for the life of her she couldn't fathom why Scarlett would want to like that tonight of all nights. "Telling you, you'll get stuck that way, and then who will you go crying to, right? Now take the photo so my mother can set it out for all her staff to see."

She waited for Scarlett to snap the photo, and smiled. "Was that so hard? No." Embracing her cousin, she looked around. "You look divine. And not too shabby on decorations either."

As her grasp loosened, she left the photo area, blowing a kiss at the younger girl.
