[L] Catching up on Homework

[Helia Ollivander]

"I know, I think it's awesome." she smiled. "I kind of wish I knew what the golden fleece ctually is though." she shrugged, "I'm not going to try and find it though, after our last class and what happened to Medea... I wouldn't wish that on anyone." she thought for a moment, then shook her head. "And I do recommend Astronomy. Last class we learned how to create stars. It was so cool."

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa nodded with a sigh, remembering poor Medea's journey for the golden fleece and betrayal. "It would be incredible if we found out what the golden fleece was, but it's probably better that it stays a secret." Then, she grinned at Helia, "I'll make sure pay a visit to Astronomy some time."

[Helia Ollivander]

She sat silently for a moment, thinking about the golden fleece, then blurted out, "We should have a 'golden fleece' themed ball!" she noticed some nearby third years give her a weird look, "Oops..." she blushed, then looked at Lisa, "Whaat are your ideas on the ball anyhow?"

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa scrunched up her nose, thinking about the ball. In all honesty, she was never quite one for social gatherings but being a prefect automatically put her on the guest list.

"The golden fleece theme would be actually pretty cool," she said with a grin.

She paused for a moment before shrugging. "To tell you the truth, I haven't thought about the event," she looked at the third-years with a bit of amusement, "very much. Though, how would we set the golden fleece theme about?"

[Helia Ollivander]

"Well, we could have grecian themed decorations. Like stone columns and ancient looking tables and such..." she thought a moment, "We could also have a contest. Like how there's always winter king, and ice princess and such, but we could call it Emperer and Emperess of the golden fleece and..." she gasped and then lowered her voice, "We could have a scavenger hunt!" the cogs in her mind began turning, but then she sighed, "Ah, but none of the other prefects would like that idea. They all want it to be a plain formal ball." she rolled her eyes.

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa's eyes widened as she leaned forward, the first sparks of excitement for the ball knotting in her stomach. "You know, that sounds really awesome! Like, the scavanger hunt sort of being like the hunt for the fleece... The "King and Queen" bit sounds pretty cool too, though, it would be horrible for it to end up a dramatic popularity contest." She paused, a smile on her face. "I'm sure you could convince them. Honestly, I would hate to have it as just some regular, boring ball."

[Helia Ollivander]

"I know! I don't see how the other prefects can pass up such an awesome chance. This could be the event of the year and what do they say? 'Formal'." she rolled her eyes. "And see, what I was thinking with the king and queen thing is instead of it being just one king and one queen, there would be a king and queen of each house. that way it wouldn't be as much of a popularity contest is it would be a..." she thought for a minute, "Well, I don't know what you'd call it. But you'd vote on who showed the most 'house-like' qualities of each house. Does that make sense?" she shrugged. "Well, I sitll have to get it okay'd by the rest of the prefects, so I doubt extreme planning is wise... but maybe i can try to talk to them individually and see what everyone thinks. Divide and conquer and what not." she chuckled.

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa's eyes brightened. "That makes perfect sense! I think that is a great idea!" She leaned back and smiled. "Formal is really boring and, not to mention, can be completely awkward." She gave Helia a sheepish grin.

"I'm sure the others will agree... They'd be crazy not to!"

[Helia Ollivander]

"I hope you're right." she said honestly.

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa nodded, smiling kindly. "Yeah, and all this talk of Grecian themes and golden fleeces has definitely made me a bit more excited about this ball thing." She said, happy that more people than just her didn't want to hobble around in a gown doing clumsy ballroom dancing.

[Helia Ollivander]

"Well, I suppose I ought to go campaigning for a grecian themed ball. If you see any of the other prefects, would you mind mentioning it to them. Try to sway them towards the idea?" she asked, deeply hoping that the ball wouldn't be some boring get together.

[Lisa Turpin]

"Of course!" Lisa said with a smile and a quick nod. "Good luck!" Then she looked back to her textbook, the smile still on her face... Of course, until another couple of fifth years seated themselves right in front of her and stared at each other with adoration.

"This is a library!" She muttered, shaking her head. "At least find a book and pretend that's why you came here!"

With a sigh, Lisa picked up her quill, her nose scrunched up just slightly.
