Snippet #2170048

Cece beamed at her now done Slytherin themed nails. She felt she had really outdone herself this time. The fumes from the polish, however, where a little strong and she found herself gagging as the heat from the fire intensified the scent. Snatching up her wand from where it had fallen on the ground, Celine muttered a little incantation that sent a cool breeze through the room evaporating the strong scent from the polish and leaving the air fresh. Normally Cece would avoid doing little spells such as the one she had just used, she liked to be more independent and find none magical ways of doing things, but as she was a witch and a student of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardy she felt she could indulge herself everyone once in a while.

It turns out Celine had cast the spell just in time because a few moments later Niles walked through the entrance to the room of requirement. "Look out everyone, the fun has arrived!" Niles announced to a basically empty room grinning widely. Celine grinned in response and gave a little wave of her hand, "So far its just us, no one else has arrived yet. I was beginning to worry I had the dates mixed up!" It was nearly impossible to not smile around Niles, he was also so cheerful and really knew how to bring a person out of their depression. "But since your here now I guess it wont be long until the others arrive as well." Celine added as an afterthought, getting up from her current seat, stretching out and walking to a different one. Before too many more people arrived she wanted to be sure that she had the seat she wanted to sit through for most of the rest of the night. Who knew how long their little game of truth or dare would go on.

Turns out hardly five minutes passed before Tar and Monty entered the room. Monty with a “Mornin’ folks," and a "Nice to see our ladies in real clothing, as much as I love our body hiding robes,” he was chuckling as he said the last part and Celine grinned in response. "Agreed, and same to our gentlemen friends, its always nice to get out of those damned boring uniforms every once in a while." And it was true, Celine took every opportunity she could to wear muggle clothing, sometimes even wearing them under her robes instead of the horrid school uniform. Plaid, really? She shuddered at the very thought of the plaid skirts and white crisp cotton shirts they were forced to wear. No, she much preferred her jeans and boots, thank you very much. "Do you guys know if anyone else said they would show up or if this is it for the night?" As much as the group loved to get together sometimes it was just impossible to get everyone in the same location.
