The day after Christmas was always the saddest day of the year. This year however, I was determined to keep myself and all of my friends from catching the after Christmas blues. "Gingerpuff meeting. ROR today after breakfast" I tell the girls before running off to spread the word to the others. It didn't take me long to spread the word to the others and I'm soon enjoying my breakfast, basking in the glory of my brilliant idea. I finish eating before the others and quickly make my way the the Room of Requirement. I spread out lots of colored paper and different colored markers and get ready for the others. Surprisingly the twins show up first. "Wicked" they say at the same time and I laugh. "These are called markers. They're kind of like quills and ink only the ink is inside the quill" I say and they nod, picking up markers and paper. "I'm gonna wait for the others to explain why I have them but feel free to draw or whatever" I say. George starts drawing and I watch them, interested to see what they're doing. I don't even notice Pyper and the girls come in until I hear Susan gasp. "I haven't used markers in forever!" she says excitedly and I giggle. "I knew you'd love it. Once the boys get here I'll explain what's going on" I say, sighing. "They're late" I say as I hear a crash and see them come stumbling through the door. "Late" I say, glaring at them. They quickly take seats and I clear my throat. "As we are all aware December 26th is the worst day of the year. Christmas is over, there's still a week until new year's, it's just overall a sad time. Which is why I've come up with an idea to make the next week until New Year's the best week yet! We are going to throw a New Year's Eve party in the astronomy tower, complete with cute invitations and a confetti ball stuffed with candy to drop at midnight. And here's the part where you all get to help the most. Gingerpuff initiation is going to be every year on new year's eve. So I need nominations for new members and then we all can take a vote" I say. Immediately, Theo's hand is up. "Theo, you don't have to raise your hand" I say and he blushes. "I have some nominations" he says. I nod at him to go on. "Pansy and Draco. They both ask questions a lot and have even helped on minor missions in the past." I smile. "All in favor?" I ask and immediately all hands go up. "Good. Any more nominations?" I ask and Fred and George speak at the same time. "Lee Jordan" they say and I nod. "All in favor?" I ask and see hands go up a little slower this time but still all in the air. "Good. Next?" I ask and Pyper speaks up. "Neville and Oliver. Neville's quiet and unnoticeable, he can find out information for us. And Oliver already saved us once, I'm sure he'd be great at doing it again" she says. I nod. "Oliver is an automatic in, all in favor of Neville?" I ask and again all hands go up. Fred speaks up next. "Dean and Seamus. They both are adventurous and up for pretty much anything. I think they'd be great additions" he says and I nod. "All in favor?" I ask and again all hands go up. "Alright. Any more nominations?" I ask and everyone shakes their heads. "Alright then. On to invitations. I created a list that I will now pass around and allow people to add or delete as they see fit until we have a final draft. Once we have a final draft I will split the invites up and have everyone make a certain amount. I will write all the initiation notes as well as make my own group of invites. Any questions?" I ask and everyone shakes their heads. We finish the invite list and spend the rest of the day making invitations. The next week is spent getting Rosie and Posie to slip invitations under pillows and Pyper and I sneaking up to the astronomy tower to start decorating. By the 31st all that's missing is food. "Rosie and Posie said they'd have our food and punch by 8 no problem. I figure if we get up there by 7 we should be there before everyone else" Pyper says. I smile, wiggling excitedly. "I do love a proper party" I say in a fake posh accent and Pyper rolls her eyes. "Of course you do, you're a drama queen" she teases. I flip my hair, heading towards the Hufflepuff commons. "I'm going to get dressed and Hannah is braiding my hair. I'll see you at 7" I say. Hannah is already in the commons when I get there and she starts braiding my hair while Susan starts fixing hers into space buns. "That looks fun. Can someone do my hair?" I hear softly and look up to see a second year nervously watching us. "Sure" I say, smiling. "I can do this cute partial braid pigtail look I seen on a fourth year last week. It looked pretty simple and I'm good at others hair, just not my own" I say. She sits down and I start to work. "I'm Alexis by the way" she says and I smile. "I'm Shay" I say, finishing the braids and making hair ties appear to tie off her hair. By the time I finish Hannah is done with my hair and has moved on to Susan's hair. "Girls, I think we should take Alex with us tonight" I say softly. Hannah nods and Susan smiles. "And you get to do your favorite thing ever: makeover time" she says and I giggle. I lead Alex to my dorm and give her a cute skirt and top with leggings and my flat boots to wear. She gets dressed and then gasps. "I look amazing! Thank you" she says excitedly, hugging me. I smile. "It's no problem. I love making over people" I giggle, putting on a cute dress with my heeled boots. "I can't do makeup though, that's all Hannah" I say as we head downstairs. The other girls are already dressed. "I'll leave Alex with you guys cuz I gotta go finish setting up" I say, hugging both girls before heading out and towards the astronomy tower.
