Girls Only!

[Catherine Prince]

Letting out a heavy sigh, Caty threw her broom and Quidditch gear on her bed. No practice tonight, just some fun flying around. The blonde stretched before changing quickly into her PJs. Her eyes caught a new canvas on Rosie's side of the dorm. She stepped forward. 

"Oh my gods, Rosie. This is gorg! New?"

[Rosie Im]

Rosie is on her bed sitting cross-cross-apple-sauce, her textbook was open in front of her with a bunch of notes spread out. Caty speaks and her eyes drift towards her new painting. Rosie grins. "thanks! it's new... as of a few hours ago." she notices caty's quidditch gear. "how was practice?"

[Evelyn Brown]

Evie was lying on her bed, already dressed in her nightclothes, reading her copy of Wuthering Heights for the sixteenth time when Catherine came into the dormitory. Ev looked up from her book momentarily to see her throw her broom and various supplies on the bed. She heard her speak to Rosie and Evie smiled at the girls before returning to her book.

[Catherine Prince]

Caty was really impressed. Rosie was a talented artist, she knew this, but still. It's been far too long since Caty touched a paintbrush. Rosie asked her about practice and Cat looked up.

"Oh! No practice tonight, but I needed to blow off some steam. What do you girls say we have an honest to gods sleepover?"

She looked around at the others.

[Estrella Quinn]

Stella was laying on her stomach. She had her notebook scribbled with corrections for her teammates and plays she wanted to try with them but her attention was on a book about Brazilian woods. She was reading up on why Camaru was supposed to be ideal for broom making when she heard the girls talking.

“No practice tonight,” Stella corrected Rosie even though no one had asked her. “She was supposed to be resting like the rest of us.” Except, even Stella had taken time to practice earlier in the evening. She figured no one was actually taking a day off.

When the mention of a slumber party was brought up, her gaze moved from Rosie and Caty over to Evie who was preoccupied. “What do you think Evie?”

[Georgia Duffy]

Georgie was just coming back from wizard home ec, because there had to be a wizard home ec. She had a bunch of baked goods boxed up that she was going to probably leave in the common room… but first, she wanted to drop off her books.

Georgia made her way into the dorm, just as she heard the word sleepovers. “Oh, I haven’t been to one in so long!” Georgie set her books on her bed. “Guess you guys are getting these!”

[Evelyn Brown]

Evie was only half-paying attention to the going ons around her. She looked up from her book when Stella mentioned her name. "Hmm?" Oh, a sleepover. Ev nodded, smiling brightly. She dog-eared the page - this book was in rough shape - and set it on her bedside table. "Sure! Sounds like fun!"

Georgie came in with a stack of books and a box of what Evelyn could only assume was baked goods. "Cupcakes? You know I love your baking."

[Rosie Im]

"ok my bad! no practice tonight," Rosie smiled. Honestly they were always on the pitch; she could never keep track anyway. "isn't the entire concept of sleeping in the dorms a 7-year-long slumber party?" Rosie laughed at the suggestion. "hi Georgie," she said as Georgia came in and joined them. 

[Tova Jensen]

Tova had been out a tad later than she expected to be. She had gone down a rabbit hole while studying in the library and before she knew it, was being scolded by the librarian.

But the blonde trudged into the dorm, arms loaded with books, just in time to hear Caty mention a sleepover. Honestly, Tova had never been to one and usually would have opted out and just stayed to herself, reading.

But Jake seemed to be pulling out different sides of her. So screw it.

"Count me in."

[Catherine Prince]

Catherine stuck her tongue out at Stella for her comment about resting. She did rest! But she had a lot to prove this year. Rosie spoke next and she just shook her head.

"You know what I mean!"

Tova and Georgie entered and agreed to a sleepover. Caty clapped her hands together excitedly. Everyone was on board! She was totally pumped. Moving her broom and equipment from her bed, she took a seat, tucking her feet under her bottom.

"How about a game of Truth or Dare?" She waggled her eyebrows.

[Georgia Duffy]

“Yes,” Georgie answered Rosie’s question. “But not an optional one. Hi!” Georgia opened the box to show Evie, who’d been a fan of her cupcakes for a while now. “Yep, and turnovers. I should probably be spending less time in the kitchens,” she laughed. Tova, who Georgie wasn’t even sure she’d heard come into the room, spoke up behind her, and Georgie closed the box before turning and letting the blonde know her excitement. “Yes, Tova!”

Georgia climbed onto her bed and pulled her legs to her chest. “Sure - does that mean you’re going first?”

[Estrella Quinn]

Stella scrunched up her nose at Caty and stuck out her tongue as well. She wasn't that upset to learn she'd been practicing, but it was fun teasing her every now and then. She pushed herself up off the bed and walked over to Georgie. "These look amazing," she said before grabbing one. She took a bite as she walked over to Caty's bed and sat next to her. "Oh my god, Georgie, what do you put in this? Pixie dust? I want more."

She continued eating the cupcake and waved at Tova when she walked in. Truthfully, she wasn't too excited about Truth or Dare but she wasn't about to spoil the fun either.

[Tova Jensen]

Truth...or dare?

Gods...this could go wrong fast...

But!

Be more adventurous, Tova. WWJD? What Would Jesus Jake Do? Taking a breath, Tova found herself smiling and nodding. Perching herself on the foot of her bed, the blonde watched the other girls first. Sure...why not? What was the worst that could happen?

[Evelyn Brown]

Evie never really felt like she was on the outside looking in, the girls would never make her feel that way, but as she took a step back to observe her friends interacting she couldn't help the smile that graced her features. The bird stood from her bed, walking over as Stella had and grabbing a cupcake. Taking a slow bite, she savored the sweet taste of the frosting and the moist cake. "Always delicious, Georgie." She moved to sit at the bottom of her bed so she was still involved. Caty mentioned truth or dare and Evelyn giggled a little. She'd never played the game before and, well, just as Jake had been bringing out a new side of Tova, Daniel had been doing the same with her.

[Catherine Prince]

Caty accepted Georgie's challenge with a grin. "Fine. Truth."

So, she'd been secretly-not-so-secretly been seeing Lizzie since Valentine's Day. It was new and exciting, as well as terrifying. She told her that she was willing to come out and she was! But, she was still just a teenager who found out she was gay. It was... complicated. Still, these were her friends and she was lowkey wanting to tell them the news. Swallowing down her nerves, she looked around at her dorm mates, wondering who would take the bait first.
