Felicia Zandersmit was the party princess, and that didn't mean some cute, prissy little party with ballerina dresses and pink cupcakes. No, the Fifth Year Slytherin liked to paaaarty. And she'd be damned if she missed the first big party of the summer. She wanted to see her good mates again, and because she had such a fun and wild, yet friendly personality, she had a ton of friends at Hogwarts, some in all four Houses. Felicia never discriminated. She was popular for that, and for the fact that whenever any of her mates were getting heck, she was right there to defend them.

Due to her age, Felicia wasn't allowed to buy alcoholic beverages at the End of Summer party being held at the Hog's Head Inn, but Felicia had been in plenty of places where the same rule applied and had end up getting a hold of some alcohol. Usually some her older Slytherin pals hooked her up. They certainly did so that evening. Shortly after she arrived, she had a Goblin's Iced Tea in her hands and was shaking her booty on the floor to the live band playing. She was "Woooing" at the top of her lungs along with those around her.

That was shortly after she had arrived. A few drinks later and "Lish the Lunatic" came out to play. Felicia was far from bonkers, but consumption of booze definitely made her a bit crazy and daring, especially in an atmosphere when she could goof off to a crowd. Felicia now stood on top of a long table playing air guitar while wearing a pair of giant sunglasses she had flirted some guy into giving her. A Gryffindor boy pretended to sing beside her on an invisible microphone while a Hufflepuff boy played a set of invisible drums.

It wasn't that long ago when the young Coraline Towler would tell people parties were not her thing. Her first couple years at Hogwarts were dedicated to studying as well as reading. She was still getting over the loss of her parents and her grandparents being her new guardians. But as soon as she started to get used to the atmosphere and the people, she began to open up more; she began to ease up more. Now if you asked her, Cora would say that she was all for a good party. Drinking still wasn't her thing. Maybe she'd have one or two here and there, but she didn't get drunk. Still, when she had heard of the end of summer party, she was ready to get away for the evening and have a blast.

Feeling like it took forever to get out of her grandparent's home, Cora finally arrived at the Hog's Head Inn for the party. As soon as she walked in her eyes caught sight of her friend standing on a table with two other boys. Apparently she had a good amount of alcohol already. It didn't surprise her. Felicia was quite the party girl. It was easy to say she was even more so than Cora. Shaking her head, but laughing as she made her way through the crowd, the Ravenclaw stopped in front of the table her friend was dancing on.

Cora's eyes glanced up at the blonde girl and watched for a few more moments. "Felicia!" She tried to call out above the noise. "Lish! How much have you had to drink already?" While the girl was still laughing at her friend, she did have a genuine concern. Having her friend drunk off her arse was not something she wanted to have to deal with that night. Hopefully the girl would sober up soon.

Felicia was right smack into the middle of a rendition of "My Witch Likes To Patronus All The Time" when she heard a familiar voice yelling to her. She looked around a bit until she finally looked down to see her Ravenclaw pal Cora. She jumped down and gave the girl a huge hug.

"CORA-LIZZLE!" she exclaimed. "What up, muh Claw homey?" She then turned to her two guy friends. "Pete, Eddie, take five guys!"

"Word," said Pete, the singer, before the two boys made their way back to the bar. Felicia then turned back and smiled at Cora. Felicia was not one of those Slytherins who believed in all that House superiority nonsense. She enjoyed parties and she enjoyed making friends. She and Cora had gone through Hogwarts together for five years and had some interesting times together. Cora was definitely on Felicia's list of top ten buddies.

Felicia chuckled after Cora asked how much she had to drink already.

"Hmm... well there were the two Firewhiskeys Bo-Bo got me, then all of the Goblin Ice Teas from Pete and Eddie. I forgot how many of those I've drank so far. And I've had a few Butterbeers, but those don't really count."

Felicia then hugged Cora again, beaming after she broke the hug.

"So what's up with you?" she said. "I haven't seen you in a minute, girl. How was your summer? Doing anything craycray or just chilled?" She then moved closer to whisper something. "Wanna know what I did? I went to Twillfart and Taters with my mum, and while she and everyone else wasn't looking, I turned all those ugly pastel dresses into zebra and tiger-stripped ones. The old snooty sales clerk who was working there saw it and was all like 'Ooooh, the whole new line is ruined! I'm going to faint. Oooooh'!" Felicia of course did a somewhat accurate impersonation of the elderly male clerk.
