Yule Ball

I think the title speaks for itself. :) I went to the Commons Annual Winter Ball on Friday which was themed "Yule Ball" this year.



They always go all out for the Commons Winter Ball with their decorations and sure enough the dining hall wall all decked out with chandeliers and hanging crystal like decor. Lots of food and dessert (I had a butterbeer cupcake myself. :D), a wandshop to make your own wand, photo booth, candy trolley, and quidditch field. Apparently they had birds too, but I must have missed it. Overall, a pretty great night with my wonderful friends!!

My souvenirs from the night

It's a good thing I have my lovely friends to be my date so I don't end up like Ron. ;)

Ginny: [helping a speechless and queasy looking Ron into the common room] It's ok, Ron. It's alright. It doesn't matter.
Harry: What happened to you?
Ginny: He just asked Fleur Delacour out.
Hermione: What?
Harry: What did she say?
Hermione: No, of course.
[Ron shakes his head in pained embarrassment]
Hermione: She said yes?
Ron: Don't be silly. There she was, just walking by... you know how I like it when they walk... I couldn't help it... it just sort of slipped out!
Ginny: Actually, he sort of screamed at her. It was a bit frightening.
Harry: What did you do then?
Ron: What else? I ran for it!
