That time of year again, huh? Yule Ball, Christmas, New Years... but I don't even know where my dress robes are now.
I mean, they used to be at the bottom of my trunk, but I think I took them out to make a nest for my cat. whoops

But uh, anyways--
Is anybody getting anything for their family for Christmas? cause I got noooo idea what to get my family.
At all.
Between studying and now Quidditch, I haven't even thought about it until now.

[If you could just see the look she is giving you through the journals, Razputin.]

Somehow I'm not surprised you don't take better care of your things.

[gogglicious]

[ Oh hey Lili. 8D-/ ]

I totally do!
Just, uh
not
my dress robes.

Gremlin was cold, ok.

[psychiclilies]

There's plenty of other ways to keep a cat warm.

Anyway, if you cared to read Dumbledore's announcement there's going to be dress robe stores visiting. You should take the opportunity to get new ones.

Dad's already given me permission to get a new dress since I've grown out of my old ones.

[gogglicious]

They were the closest thing around.

I read it! [ Skimmed it. ]
I just didn't want to have to replace them if they didn't need replacing. Though I guess I should, anyways, they're probably too small now.

Got a color in mind?

[psychiclilies]

Still.

I was thinking cerise or another shade of pink maybe. I'll have to see what they have to offer.

[gogglicious]

Still!

They'll probably have all kinds of colors that we don't even know how to describe, so there's that. Maybe they'll have a good green for robes...

[psychiclilies]

Do you have a date yet?

[gogglicious]

Not yet. You?

[psychiclilies]

Nobody's been brave enough.

[gogglicious]

You got anybody particular in mind, if you were gonna ask someone instead?

[psychiclilies]

Nobody in particular.

[gogglicious]

Well then.

So, Lili.

[psychiclilies]

Yes, Raz?

[gogglicious]

Is there any chance you'd like to go to the Yule Ball with me?

[psychiclilies]

What if I said yes?

[gogglicious]

It'd make us the coolest pair at the dance.

[psychiclilies]

How could I say no to conviction like that?

[gogglicious]

So you'll do me the grand honor, Ms. Zanotto?

[psychiclilies]

It would be my pleasure, Mr. Aquato.

[gogglicious]

[ He may or may not scribble a 8D for her, too, and maybe a little ♥! ]

Awesome. It's a date.

[psychiclilies]

[Oh my god, Raz, you dork.]

Okay.


[And after a few minutes of hesitation there's a small ♥ in return.]

[brokethecycle]

Can't we opt out of this? Its just a dumb school dance, right?

[gogglicious]

It's for socializing.

[ He draws little stars and tildes around the comment. ]

I dunno, I've never tried to.

[brokethecycle]

Maybe its different here, but all school dances ever meant was one more awkward place where I had to sit in a corner and listen to really bad old music for three hours while the teachers got drunk by the punch bowl.

...Also, I really don't want to have to write home to mum and dad and explain to them I need fancy wizard robes.

[gogglicious]

They actually get really good bands to come in for the dances at Hogwarts, so I've gotta say that my experiences with school dances have all been on the positive side.

Maybe there's someone with some spare robes? Or if I find my old ones, we could ask Mabel to tailor them for you.

[brokethecycle]

Oh. Well. I dunno, I never have fun at these things.

You don't have to do something like that.

[gogglicious]

Never had the right people to have fun with?

Why?

[brokethecycle]

...No, I guess not. I didn't really have any friends at all.

Um. Because won't that be a lot of trouble?

[gogglicious]

Guess we're gonna have to fix that now.

Not really. Mabel's a miracle worker, and, y'know. A friend.

[ Your friend, Norman. ]

[brokethecycle]

Wait, I never said I was agreeing to go.

[sdlkfjdlsks]

[gogglicious]

Even if you don't go, mate. You don't need to go to a dance to have friends.

[brokethecycle]

I- wh- that's not. [Sorry, he's scribbling on the page now.]

[gogglicious]

[ Instead of actually answering properly like a sane human being, Raz draws a big 8D and a bunch of scribbles back. ]

[brokethecycle]

[OH MY GOD HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH YOU RAZ WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN.]







[scribbles back some vague question marks and maybe a tiny ghost or two.]

[gogglicious]

[ RAZ IS A MYSTERIOUS, CRAZY CHILD.

And draws a bunch of excited exclamation points back in response to the question marks and bittyghosts. ]

[brokethecycle]

[What is even happening now.]

I'll think about it, I guess.

[mabelangelo]

well you can fix that now since you have friends!!!

also thats alright i usually have a couple of professors help me if im making something like robes! plus duhhh i wouldnt leave a friend behind if hes in need!! :D

[brokethecycle]

[LKDJFLS MABEL.]

I- well. I guess. I um. I can't dance or anything and i wouldnt want you to put all this work into something if i cant dance itll be a waste of time right???

[mabelangelo]

[hi 8)]
pshhhhhaw!!

you dont have to dance to go to a dance! dippers doesnt dance as well as i do but he still tags along!! its all about the experience and having fun with friends

besides we could teach you to dance if youd like

[brokethecycle]

No, I'm pretty sure that would end really badly.

Um. But. I...guess it wouldn't be too bad if you guys were gonna be there, too.

[mabelangelo]

no way i can totally do it!!! there isnt an obstacle that mabel pines cant go over!!!!!

see??? thats the way to think about it!! its going to be tons of fun youll see norman!

[brokethecycle]

I- um- Okay.

Alright, alright, I'll go.

[mysterytwin]

Mabel.

[mabelangelo]

i thought i made plenty of sweaters for gremlin!

um...
im not too sure yet myself
ive got a couple of things on my mind but nothing too solid yet! i know im going to have to hurry up or else i wont have anything but its hard trying to find the perfect gift for everyone! :(

[gogglicious]

They needed washed and/or magicked clean but I was being kind of lazy, whoops.

Right???
My big problem is that I've got a lot of siblings so I have no
real
idea
what I'm gonna get any of them.
I mean my younger sister and brother are both really easy to entertain so I might just get them something bright and shiny.

[mabelangelo]

im going to have to get onto you about that more often arent i?

you do have a bunch of family members
hmmmm hmm hmm!
thankfully i dont have any other siblings to worry about
i can try to help though! :D
especially if you end up making things instead of buying them? :o
