“Ah, what a perfect night for a party!” Shion said to herself as she put the finishing touches on decorations.
She was hosting a party, deep in the depths of Hogwarts, in the dungeon. Everyone in every house was invited; this party was to simply get everyone acquainted, so no one was left out. The room was dressed up in decorations of black, green, blue, gold, and red. Each house’s color was there in the forms of napkins, wall hangings, streamers, lighting, pictures, and anything else one can imagine. Shion had gone all out for this event. A cornucopia of food lay sprawled across a long table in a buffet style, every morsel made by Shion herself.
As she released the last floating candle into the air, she sighed contentedly and glanced at her watch. “Ah, it’s almost time! I have to get changed!” She hurried away to her room to quickly change into her party outfit, but she would soon return.

A party… In the dungeons?… Jim thought skeptically to himself as he entered the doorway to where the party was to be hosted. Well, at least it looks nice. He looked around at the multi-colored decorations and sat down at the table, waiting for everyone to show up. He wasn’t in a hurry, but he simply had nothing to do… well, that was a lie. He could be studying, but that just simply was too boring. He would rather have come to the party.

Several minutes later, for her room is very far away, Shion returned to the dungeon area. She was dressed in a form-fitting black party dress that reached just above her knees, and matching heels with straps lacing up her ankles. Her hair was left down, as normal, but instead of a yellow ribbon, a silver butterfly clip held some hair from her face.
She smiled at Jim as she made her way down the steps. “My first guest! Glad to have you here… Jim, is it?"

“Yeah, and you’re… Shion. I got your invitation, and I just thought I’d see what was happening. Thanks.” He slightly smiled and leaned back in his chair. “I didn’t know this was a formal occasion.” He said, admiring the girl’s outfit.

Shion blushed softly, looking down at herself. "Well, I'm the hostess, I figured I should look nice." She offered him a smile. "Hopefully others will come soon. I'm gunna go put some music on." She walked off into a dark chamber, where she had put her small stereo, and hit the play button. A fast, hip-swinging pop song came on, and due to the dungeon's vast emptiness, the sounds echoed around the walls, making it louder.

When he had received the invitation, Gumball had felt a flash of trepidation. A party? By the Slytherins? In the dungeons?!
While there was nothing in the rules against it, but all the same he'd been worried. So even though he'd like nothing better than curl up with parchment, quill pen, and the newest recipe for self-twisting candy canes, he told himself it was his job as a prefect to supervise. He wouldn't tell her that, of course; he didn't want to hurt Shion's feelings. Although he had a mild dislike of Slytherins as a whole (due to a certain someone) he didn't dislike her personally.
He wasn't sure how formal the event was, so he changed his school uniform out for neat, dignified clothing but wore the standard school robe (...the one not ruined) over it. He then folded the invitation and slid it into one of his pockets, along with his wand, and made his way down to the dungeons. As he approached he could hear upbeat music echoing down the hallway.

Shion danced her way out of the chamber, her hips swinging with the beat. "Oh, this will be so much fun!" She could already hear more footsteps approaching, and made her way to the entrance to greet the new guest. She saw the boy with bright pink hair whom she had not met before, and sent him a bright smile. "Hello! Welcome!"

He returned her smile and held out his hand to her. "Thank you for inviting me, Shion." that had been the name on the invitation, and they were in the same year, so he knew her on sight but not very well.

She took his hand and shook it gingerly. "You're very welcome Mister..." She couldn't remember his name for the life of her, and it made her feel terrible. "I'm sorry, I can't quite remember your name..."

He laughed, not at all bothered by her forgetting. "That's quite alright. My name's Gumball."
She seemed nice for a Slytherin. Maybe he had misjudged her and the circumstances of the party?

"Gumball!" She giggled and clapped her hands together. "That's so cute!" Suddenly, she blushed, smiling nervously. "Sorry, I'm just very excited. I'm new here and really want to get to know everyone!" She gestured into the dungeon with her arm. "Go on in, have some snacks and relax a little."

"Thank you," he said quietly, not protesting when she called his name cute. It didn't bother him much-- it'd bother him more if it was someone other than a pretty girl making that statement. "In that case, I hope we get to know each other better." and he followed her lead into the dungeon.

She watched him walk into the party area, then looked to Jim for a brief moment. "At the beginning of a party, when there are few people, it always seems like the party is going to suck. I can assure you that it won't." She smirked, almost deviously, then looked back to the hallway leading to the dungeon.

The sixth year trotted down the stair to the dungeon, familiar with the area. Being a Slytherin had it's advantages [Well, more than just knowing the dungeons, but that wasn't relevant at the moment.] He had heard that Shion girl had been planning a party, and what do you know? A party, although a small one [not like that mattered, he was the life of the party anyway], was right at the end of the hall.
Sticking his hands in his pockets, Marshall meandered down the dimly lit hallway to the room at the end. Shion was waiting outside, talking to someone. A Gryffindor? He hadn't seen him around, so that probably meant he was a first year... Maybe one of the ones he had taken to Hogsmeade? [There were too many, he'd never know which he dragged along and which ones he didn't.] Great! Another young, fresh mind. More pranking buddies... Not likely, but shhh...

Shion's ears caught the approaching guest once again, before her eyes did; these hallways were never good for sneaking around, she had learned. A smile upon her face, she held out her hand to him. "Hey! Glad you came!"
