The Fox And Her Troublemakers

Social Casualty

Cécile's P.O.V.
When we got to the empty classroom where everyone was instructed to meet up, I was surprised at how many people were there. There was a huge mass of colours. Green and silver, blue and bronze, red and gold, and of course our black and yellow.

Leslie and Kaitlyn seen us and ran over. "Look at all these people," Kaitlyn said, gesturing to all the people. Her wrist had healed now. "Now go make friends," Leslie finished.

"How about we get to the room first?" I asked them, laughing. They agreed and went to stand in front of the crowd of people.

"Sonorous," I heard Kaitlyn whisper, pointing her wand at her throat. When she started talking again, she was louder, "Now we all know why we're here," she said, everyone instantly getting quiet. "We need to celebrate our extremely gorgeous, and awesome, new friend, Cécile," she said.

There were wolf whistles and hollers from the crowd. I blushed. I had no idea why everyone here thought I was so pretty. It's not like I was a veela or anything.

"So, what we're going to do," Kaitlyn continued, "is we're gonna go out in groups of four or less. We don't want to attract any unwanted attention."

Everyone made sounds of agreement, "but first, we're going to wait for a little while longer for any stragglers.

"Also," Katlyn said, loud enough for everyone to hear her without the sonorous charm, "we need one person to come with us for a second." A kid in the crowd, by the name of Cedric apparently, said he would go with us.

After that, Kailtyn took the charm off, and we lead them to the Room of Requirement. The five of us were going to serve as tour guides, I'm a sense.

Each of us would go back to the classroom with all the students, bring a group of four kids to the room, and then go get the next group.

A friend of Cody's was going to be in the room, waiting for everyone and controlling the sound system. It turned out that the friend of Cody's that was helping was the one who had told me what happened yesterday. I found out that his name was Damien.

Once we got everybody into the room, Leslie and Kaitlyn went up to our makeshift stage to say something.

"Ok, so thank you everyone for coming," Leslie started. "Before we put the music on, we want Cécile to get her arse up here and say something." Kaitlyn finished.

I reluctantly walked to the stage and stood beside the two. Leslie was about to cast the sonorous charm again, but I started talking, not needing it.

"Ok, first of all, you all look so boring," I said, thinking up some change rooms, which then appeared in the corner of the room.

"As you can see, there are now change rooms in that corner over there that just magically appeared," I gestured to the corner. "When I'm done talking, you all need to change into more casual clothes. Just think of what you want to wear and it will appear."

I was joking obviously, but in a serious way. I wasn't actually telling them to do it, I was just saying that I would prefer it if they did.

"Now, as some of you may have noticed, there's a karaoke machine sitting behind me. How many of you don't know what a karaoke machine is?"

About 40% of the people in the room raised their hands. "So, basically, a karaoke machine is a muggle thing that you can play songs on, and then sing along to them. It gives you words and everything," I explained.

"This one will play whatever song you want, muggle or magical. Again, thank you for coming," I said smiling, and then sending a gesture to Damien to tell him to start the music. "Now what are we all doing standing here? Dance and have fun!"
