Clare had a large grin as she pulled him toward the sea of cushions and patted the spot next to her.
Eric however moved to the table and to the projector where a note with instructions was placed beside it, "I remember you telling me how much you wanted us to watch that 'film', The Princess Bride, so I called in a few favors to buy this all together."
Hey, everything is ready.
Just make sure to turn on this machine and the modified record player under the table at the same time.
I already saw it, and all I can say is good luck.
-C.B.
PS: I left some protection under the third seat from the right in case things escalate.
Eric made a mental note to thank Charles later.
(Party)
[Increase closeness with Eric Grover]
I dismissed the message.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we will now open the dance floor for our first Valentine themed activity," a girl in a red slim dress said from the stage, the Head Girl, Mary if he remembered correctly.
Already people were clearing the dance floor as other's brought in a table and some chairs.
When she asked for volunteers, I felt someone shove me from behind and turned to see it was Terry.
Rolling my eyes, I decided I might as well, and took one of the empty seats. A total of nine participants were seated until someone brought out a bowl of cherries.
Mary grinned as she addressed the gathered audience, "Our first activity is a test to see who the best kisser is. For this reason, you must try to tie as many knots on as many cherry stems as you can using only your mouth within thirty seconds."
Everyone cheered in excitement, and many of the participants blushed. I put on a cocky grin and winked at a group of older girls causing them to laugh.
"The time starts now. Ready. Set. Go!"

Ravenclaw Tower:-
"This was the best night ever," Anthony said as he threw himself on his bed with a satisfied smile.
"Yeah, especially the part where those two sixth year girls started fighting and one of them pulled down the other's dress," Terry added with a large grin.
"That's why he said it," Michael added also with a small smile, "I'm glad you guys dragged me there."
I rolled my eyes as I wiped the rest of the whip cream from my eyebrows. I'd gained a fair amount of influence thanks to the activities, particularly with the female populous.
I pulled up the notification and saw the quest.
[Special Holiday Quest: Cupid's Helper] Complete
[You obtained the item: Cupid's Arrow]
I looked at my inventory and saw that it now had a pink arrow with a red heart-shaped tip.
[Cupid's Arrow-Rank: Legendary
This is an arrow infused with the purest form of love. Two people stuck by the arrow will slowly fall in love with each other. Holding it in your hand will cause it to point in the direction of your heart's deepest desire. At the cost of breaking the arrow, you will be able to call upon a miracle to save a loved one, even if it is from death.]
'How useful,' I thought, glad I hadn't done this silly quest for nothing.

February 22, 1992:-
The days passed by quickly, until it was finally the day of the match between Ravenclaw and Slytherin.
"Okay, we can do this," Robert said to the team as we stood in the locker room, "This is what we trained for. For the past couple of years Slytherin has won the Quidditch Cup, but that ends today. If we can beat them today, not only will they be ineligible for the Cup but it will also put us in the lead."
Everyone cheered, banging their hands on the lockers.
"Now don't get ahead of yourselves," he said after they quieted down, "we still haven't won yet. After losing to Gryffindor I'm sure they will fight tooth and nail as well."
Everyone nodded.
"But there's no reason to fear, just remember your roles and we will emerge victorious!" he yelled, holding up a fist, causing everyone else to raise theirs and cheer. "Now let's get out there and show them why the sky belongs to the Ravens."
With that said, everyone took their broom and walked to the entrance of the field.
"Hey Bell," Robert called out to me, "don't go easy on them, just cause you're friends with Greengrass, okay."
I gave him a cocky smirk, "Why would I do that when rubbing it in her face after we win would be much more satisfying."
Everyone chuckled at that.
We mounted our broom and shot off into the air.
Getting information we started off against the Slytherin team. I could tell from an instant that they had no intention of playing nice, which was good, because I didn't either.
Madam Hooch gave her little speech about sportsmanship, for some reason looking straight at me.
The second she blew her whistle everyone exploded into action. Robert flew and caught the Quaffle uncontested before flying toward the enemy's goal with the rest of the Chasers. Sam went in search of the Snitch and Simon headed in the direction of a bludger.
What I hadn't expected was for the entirety of the Slytherin Team to completely ignore the Quaffle in favor of rushing at me.
I evaded their attack using my superior flying ability to squeeze between the gaps in their formation.
