It was just after dinner on Friday night and Allegra was sitting on the couch, using her wand to string fairylights around the common room. She had already set out the dessert trays and put a decent supply of sodas and butter beers on the desk by the window. She was just waiting for the rest of the gang to show up.

"FOOD!" Drew cried out, hoping down from the boy's room though he had just had dinner less than half an hour ago. Without even greeting his sister (hardly noticing she was even in the room) he made a bee-line for the goodies.

Still munching on the last half of her orange, Arianna stopped just inside the common room and glanced around. She smiled and skipped over to help Allegra.
"Looks good," she told the older girl. "I don't think we've ever decorated for FFN before, though."

"HOLD IT!" Allegra called out to her brother, pausing in her light stringing to point her wand at Drew. "No eating until everyone is here."
She smiled at Ari and resumed with the lights, once she was sure Drew had actually left the food alone. "I just thought it was a nice touch," she said. "Besides, it's Christmasy looking."

"Who's everyone?" Drew complained, though he backed off from the food for the time being. "The way I figure it, we're already half here. One more person and I'm starting. Everyone else can fend for themselves."
It was then that he noticed the good chair was still empty and decided snagging it was more important than eating at this time.

"Does that mean we get to put up a tree soon?" Arianna questioned, her eyes now going wide. She was already looking forward to the holidays for more than one reason. Decorating, however, was one of her favourite parts. "I think the ornaments are still in the closet where we put them."

Lily bounded down the steps. "I hope I'm included in this everyone," she said, hearing the last bit of what Drew had said and what Ari has said as well. "Ooo," she said. "A tree and ornaments."

After finishing off the new set of traps Hiro came down the stairs, he had heard Drew calling food but had decided that security was important, besides with Drew focused on food someone would have to finish them off. Now this months traps were set and he could relax for a bit, he came down to find out what was going on.
"Christmas party?" He asked.

"THERE! Two more people," Drew told Allegra. He was about to get up and grab something but realized if he did, Hiro was sure to snag the chair. Usually this was not such a big problem because the boys would wrestle until one finally could claim rights to it. But Allegra was rather particular about her Fun Nights and Drew doubted she'd appreciate the tussling.
Besides, his ear still smarted from when she tried to twist it off that one time...

"I guess you could call it that," Allegra answered Hiro as she smirked at her brother. He might have taken his chances on getting up with just the girls around, but there was no way he'd get out of the comfy seat with Hiro in the room. She shot a look at Ari. Bets to how long he lasts like that?

"Hey Drew," Lily whispered. She knew there was a reason he wasn't immeadiately going for the food and she had been there for the last fight. "I'll guard the chair if you get us some food." She wasn't a Ravenclaw for nothing.

"I'll save it for you," Arianna spoke as Lily did, also catching Drew's predicament. She wouldn't stand a chance if one of the boys decided to kick her out, but at least she get the chair for two seconds. If Drew felt it was a satisfactory solution, that is.

Allegra's jaw dropped in mock betrayal, but she laughed as the other girls started making deals. "Oh, you guys are just way to nice," she told them, still hoping to see a little suffering on Drew's part.

"Hey, we gotta look after these boys sometimes," Arianna claimed with a light shrug.

"Yeah," Lily added. "Where would they be without us girls?"
