May Scenario: Spring Fever

[Prof. Sky Alton 236]

The field just outside Hogsmeade is full of brightly decorated stalls and happy people. The sunshine finally seems to have some warmth in it and you enjoy the feel of it on your face as you stroll down towards the spring fete.

The Situation:

It’s time for Hogsmeade’s annual celebration of everything spring, the spring fete and luckily for everyone at Hogwarts, the headmistress has granted everyone permission to go for a few hours, including first and second years. Stalls are groaning under the wait of cakes, flowers and other goodies. There are games (some magical and some muggle) and contests of all descriptions to join in on. The maypole with its colourful ribbons stands tall over everything, just waiting for people to come and dance round it.

The Location:

Try to keep the action within the field where the fete is taking place. Feel free to invent any stalls, games or contests you like!

Give the guidelines a read before diving in. Have fun!

Zagreus groaned as he woke up, his head still muddy from sleep. Outside his window, he heard loud cheers, and a huge commotion. As he slowly came to, his face broke into a smile. The festival! he thought, excited. He had been looking forward to this for weeks. His flat was only a few blocks away, and it would be nice to get away from everything for a while and just relax.

 

After tossing on a spring-y enough outfit, pulling his hair into two buns, and brushing his teeth, he headed off to the fair ground. The smell alone was enough to make him wish he could stay here forever. Cakes, teas, juices, and all sorts of candies and treats were laid out along all of the various stalls and tables. He headed over to the first stand he saw and dropped a few galleons on the counter in exchange for a fresh coffee, a honey bun, and a bottle of water. 

 

Next, he headed over to the games. There was a muggle arcade set up in a tent, and nostalgia flooded over him as his eyes landed on a game called "80's Overdrive". He had fond memories of Saturday nights with his high school friends, crowded around the local arcade to see who could win top score. Zag always came second to his best mate, Ana, but maybe here he'd finally have his shot. The machines only took muggle currency, so he quickly exchanged a few knuts for some quarters, and settled in for a while.
