"Careful with your wand, these can hurt someone. You knew that sparkles are hot? It can burn, my sister told me. My aunt said my father had burn some flowers in their garden like that when he was our age. Dreadfully dangerous things sparkles. So no really I'm good in my cosy corner." Mae nodded vigorously and sunk in the free armchair closest to the far wall of the common room.

"Oh, I hope you feel better now. I'm tired, if is looking for me please tell her I went to sleep. Have fun, I'll set up a silence charm around my bed so I don't hear you blast the common room! Kidding kidding, bye"

"All you need is some celebration!" Gaia hugged her friend. Turning to Mae () "Oh, this are illusion of sparkles. My dad taught me how to make them since the owls get scared with loud noises and sparkles, so he created a spell for fake sparklers. It also helps when we are around my muggle family."

Elune and Hannah made their way to the kitchens. The small elf bowed as it welcomed them inside, then handed them heaps of trays: They eventually had to turn the elf, Molly, down. But then, she looked so sad that Hannah allowed her to add on a platter of vegetables and a pie. They carried them back to the common room, careful not to fall into any trip-steps on their way.

After they gave the password, they laid the plates across a table. Elune noticed that the ceiling was glittering beautifully thanks to Lapis (). She noticed Harper () as well and waved for the two girls to grab some food.

"Are you planning games?" she murmered excitedly, having caught a little of Gaia's conversation. She was sad to find that Mae had retired early; but she knew she'd run into her again later.

"I think games would be a lot of fun! A last hurrah before we all go home. Thank you both for bringing us delicious food!" Gaia turned to Hannah and gave her a smile.

() "Have any ideas for games, Harper?" Gaia said while grabbing some salad and water, plopping herself on the floor to eat.

"Ooh, thanks! Can't live on violets alone."

Lapis grabs a bowl of soup and tucks in, waiting to see what sort of games would be played.

Gaia looked confused and then concentrated really hard... "But all games require thinking... well except!" Gaia took off to her room she remembered the game her friend gave her not long ago.

"Let's play , we need to clear one of the tables and enchant the little balls. A mini Quidditch game with Butterbeer and juice! Anyone up for a game?"

()

"OH! Yeah none of that! I think it would be best if we charm the floor and around the table so nothing gets splashed. These tiny balls can get a little difficult!" Gaia waved her wand to move some of the chairs away.

"That looks wonderful," Elune interjected as she watched Gaia and Harper make space for the setup. She quickly devoured some crackers and cheese dip then made her way toward the table. Then, she flexed her wand arm in preparation for the game.

She smiled at Harper and hoped this would take her mind off her head-ache.

Fade grinned at and crammed a few more grapes into his mouth from the tray brought up from the kitchens. No question, the cooks here could never disappoint, and having won the house cup somehow made everything taste that much better. Fade for one was very proud of his housemates for working so hard. It was a good feeling, knowing that even his contributions had helped in some way. "I'll play, but I'm not the best." He grinned as his ears turned bright red. No use in lying, they would all find out eventually.

Gaia beamed at her friend () "I call dibs on Fade for my teammate!" Gaia grinned at her friend. " you need a partner! So we can play. I think the rules are simple guide the rogue ball through the hoop and into the cup of the opposite team, then the person drinks from the cup the ball got in. I think that is how it works. Also watch out for trick balls. Some of them magically refill cups and knock the hoops from the table."

Hannah waved to Harper() happily after setting the food down and Caleb went to get some turkey and fruit salad.

Fade shrugged in agreement and grabbed another handful of grapes before going to stand by . "Reminds me of beer pong." Realizing that most people in the room probably hadn't heard of it he elaborated slightly. "Er, that is, a muggle drinking game." Although this version he assumed would prohibit the use of any alcoholic beverage. Not that he had any interest in that nasty stuff. Quietly Fade wondered if magical alcohol tasted any better than the muggle stuff.

Gaia turned to Fade amused about his knowledge in muggle games. "Yes, my mom has told me about that game. I guess one of my muggle cousins got in trouble playing the game at someone's house. I guess this game can get out of hand even for muggles without flying magical balls."
