The night was beautiful in the Scottish Highlands in Draoidheil. The little community had decorated the whole square, the main area of the community with strings of lights and banners. The banners were different colors, though one could certainly see the theme for Hogwarts. Even though their were muggles in the community of Draoidheil, it was known to them about magic, but they were silent in their knowledge. They protected the magical families liked the magical families had once protect them. There secrets were safe, but even the magical families understood when the right time was to use magic.
The forest surround the community was alive, all the houses around the area were full of sounds, smells and brilliant celebration. Even if a child wasn't going to Hogwarts, it was the end of the year Cèilidh and all had a good time. In a field not far from the community square was a slew of highland games like caber toss, stone put and other fun things to show off one's strength. Men and women in kilts stood laughing and talking as they sun set in the western skies. In one corner of the square, there was a wood stage and men and women were stretching and laughing together.
Lindsey was one of those. She wore a MacKenzie tartan skirt and a lovely white blouse. Over her shoulder was also wore a sash that went from right shoulder to left hip and around the back, locked together with a simple pendant. Her hair was tamed and braided down her back and she laughed with some of the other girls as the stretched their legs and feet. The guest would be arriving soon and she was excited to dance with those of the community before she got to spend time with her friends from Hogwarts.
OOC : all are welcome to post in this thread. No posting order, just tag the ones you interact with. If you are a friend of Lindsey, in her year, or in her house, you likely got an invite. If you are a sibling of one of those, you are welcome to attend too. Basically... All are welcome! |

Harry took every chance to hang out with friends during the summer. Sure, he didn’t see his parents while he was at Hogwarts, but he did send letters and they came by sometimes to see him. He loved his parents, but man, they could be lame sometimes. Like any teenager, he thought his parents were great but a bit old and silly.
Regardless he had been sent an invite for some sort of party near the end of the summer and well, he convinced his parents to let him go. Not that it was very hard to convince them. He wasn’t even sure how to pronounce the party name, but oh well. His mom was excited it was from a girl, though he didn’t think of Lindsey in that way. He just let his mother think whatever she wanted after he first said it wasn’t that way. But hey, maybe Ginny would be invited and come too.
When he arrived, he was wearing fairly normal clothing. A polo shirt, and a pair of slacks. It wasn’t exactly dressy, but it wasn’t too casual either. He wasn’t sure about the dress code so he went somewhere right in between. He approached the one who had invited him slowly from behind and placed his hands on her eyes to surprise her. “Guess who?” He chuckled and removed his hands before twirling in front of her. “The Great Harry Potter has arrived. The party may now begin.”

 Hermione had been spending most of her summer focusing on her school work homework that had been assigned by the end of the Summer. But when she had gotten a letter for an invite to a party she decided that maybe a break was needed. And that was a lot for her to admit to herself. So she had gladly accepted the letter, her parents had not really minded that she would go hang out with her friends since during the summer she mostly wrote to them and only would once and a while actually hang out with them.
When the day of the party had finally arrived she had settled upon a casual look that consisted of a pink shirt and jeans. She had no idea what type of attire it had called for so she had packed a small bag that had consisted of a few extra supplies just in case she needed anything.
Once she had gotten there so was quick to spot out a few familiar faces including Lindsey and Harry and made her way over to them to greet them. "Hey" she said softly.

Ginny entered the party after receiving the invite and talking it over with her parents. Dressed in jeans and and red blouse she entered the square where everyone was at. Her red hair was left down and straight against her back. Her brown eyes looking to point out anyone in particular that she recognized from Hogwarts. Her gaze spotted Harry, Hermione and Lindsey. Though she wasn't entirely sure where to start.
Slowly she made her way into the crowd looking around. if any wished to see her they were certainly welcome to come over. the other three seemed rather busy at the moment so she didn't want to interrupt. She was patient enough to either wait her turn or see who else chose to come to the party. She was unsure how many students of Hogwarts were actually invited.

Her fingers were pushed up towards the air, entangled with each other while her toes pushed her up closer towards the sky. Stretching was crucial before dancing and she would be up soon. The group of girls she was going to be dancing with were friends, but it was still a competition and they were being judged. Lindsey rarely went to anything after the summer, but she enjoyed this about her culture.
Suddenly, her eyes went black and she stiffened a little, before a smile spread across her face at the sound of his voice. When the hands were removed she turned to see Harry Potter standing before her. After a laugh at his twirl and his announcement, she nodded. "Aye, it can indeed..." She said but was interrupted before she got to say anything else to see Hermione Granger coming up towards them.
"Hullo," she said in her thick highland accent before she clapped her hands together and looked around for any others who might have shown up. "I'm glad ye could come!" She explained before she heard her name called by someone from the staging area. "Oh! Be right back," she said before she ran off to join the other two girls. With practiced hands, she took two swords and walked out on stage to place them in a cross on the ground.
"And now we have Lindsey Bryce, Anna MacTavish, and Rachel Cameron doing the Highland Sword Dance," an announcer said to the small, yet growing crowd. As a man with the bagpipes began to play, Lindsey and the other three danced around the sword, their body in near perfect sync with each other. Every now and then, Lindsey or one of the other dancers would misstep, but they still ended together and with a warm applause from the crowd. Lindsey bounded of the stage towards her friends with a smile.
"Have ye seen any of the others? I invite our whole year," she said as she glanced the area, hoping she might see someone else. Sure, there was already a large crowd from the community, but she was really hoping her friends would come and have fun. Just as she turned her head, she spotted Ginny Weasley and gave her a wave so she knew she could come over if she wanted to. Lindsey knew Ginny because she was one the Gryffindor Team and because she was also Ron's sister.

Neville had thrown together whatever his mum had washed and with parental permission was allowed to attend the Draoidheil that Linds bad invited him too. He had a feeling SHE would be there and he might have even tried to find the guest list... but he found nothing ...so here he was. The event itself was magically wild! Nev found himself standing alone when the dancing began, it was instant for Neville to reduce the source of Lindseys Quidditch agility. Perhaps Neville had some sword dancing to learn. When the dance was over he found Lindsey... Harry... Hermione... And Ginny. He didn't feel hot or that his cheeks were turning red, but of course she hadn't spoke to him yet. "Tha' was wicked awesome dance Linds," he said to @lindsey when he got close to the group, "Might pick up some lessons myself."
