"...and remember, fornication is not compulsory, but it is fun. Stay safe, and more importantly, enjoy yourselves." Albus paused at the end of his speech and opened his arms wide, a knowing smile on his face. "Lupercalia is upon us." He stepped down from the small podium that had been set up near the lake. The bonfire crackled, students sitting around it, excitement in their veins as they waited to find out who the Sorting Hat would declare to be their perfect match. Lupercalia was a long held tradition at Hogwarts, one Albus particularly enjoyed in his younger years. He had taken part as an adult for quite some time until he had deemed himself too old in recent years. Some of the staff would join in, no doubt, but Albus was out of the game. Now he enjoyed soaking up the atmosphere, and knowing that his students were having the same wonderful experiences that he once had. The hat would pair them justly, and then they would be free to go off into the forest in their pairs to honour tradition and do... whatever they pleased. Albus stood to one side and waited patiently as Minerva began calling out names alphabetically.

Lupercalia. It was a tradition older than Hogwarts itself and ever since the school opened, it had been celebrated by most that attended. Sixth and seventh years were welcome to participate but it wasn't mandatory, and those that did participate were welcome to just spend time with their match, nothing had to happen if one was feeling uncomfortable or nervous. Though how were the students paired? Why the sorting hat, of course. Who better to pair the students? Although back in Minnie's day she'd been a part of a threesome in her final year. It was a rare case to have a threesome, but it did happen, much to Minnie's pleasure. Perfect matches were just around the corner whether the students realised it or not.
There was kind of a hush around the subject of Lupercalia in the magical world. Students were introduced to it in their sixth year but before that there was no mention of it to them, they were just children after all and Lupercalia often involved somewhat adult matters. It was a private coupling. It was, usually, two people enjoying one another one way or another. It was an understanding that everyone who had attended Hogwarts abided by, although there was no rule preventing anyone from blabbing people just didn't. You didn't talk about Lupercalia, it just wasn't the done thing. What happened happened and it was private. Mostly. Naturally people did gossip about their experiences or what they'd heard had happened with other but usually in excited whispers or reminiscing their days of youth and never in the open where innocent ears might hear! Lupercalia was sacred, it was a discovery for the sixth years now that they were of age to participate and the journey was a special one, an enjoyable one.
Just a couple of days ago, Minnie had talked with the sixth and seventh years and informed them of what was to come. She answered any questions and she made absolutely certain that everyone knew that this was all about consent and respect. Finally, the night had arrived. The bonfire was ready and a black seat chair not too far away. Minnie stood beside the throne-like chair with a black scroll in her hand. The names of the participating students were in silver and as they were called, their names would move to the bottom of the list, along with their partner. The sorting hat sat upon a black display stand next to Minnie, ready for her to lift and place on the sitting student's head. "Archer, Bowman." She called, waiting for the first student to come and take his place. Once his partner's name was called, his partner would meet Bowman at the throne and together they would walk, hand upon hand, to the cloaks. Typically the male would drape a red cloak around the females shoulders and then the female would follow, draping a wolf-skin cloak over the males shoulders - wolf head still attached and resting upon the head of the male, although either gender could play either role, as long as there was one wolf and one red riding hood so the hunt could take place.
Once everyone was paired, or more, then Minnie would sound a horn. The wolves would run and the red riding hoods would wait. Once the horn was sounded again then the reds would chase down their wolves. Once captured the students were free to do as they pleased. Lanterns hung in the forest, guiding students to the secluded areas where they could enjoy a picnic and some privacy. Tonight was guaranteed fun for the students, and for the staff members that were taking part. There was nothing better than getting to know your colleagues through the magic of Lupercalia.

Lupercalia, baby! Last year Bow had been bloody shocked to find out such a thing existed. He'd been dead excited and he'd really enjoyed his first year of Lupercalia. He'd dished with the lads a little, but he didn't want to give away too much but that was easy, the guys read between lines that weren't even there and fully believed Bow had gone all the way with his match last year. Had he? Who knew, he'd not told a soul! This year he was hoping for a good match. He was hoping for a hotty he could have a laugh with on another day, today he wanted to be able to have a little fun, for the love of Merlin he hoped her didn't have a virgin, he was hoping to go all the way, but he'd got at whatever pace his partner for tonight needed.
When his name was called first, he walked on up to chair. He wasn't surprised, he was always first. He sat his arse down, feeling like a king, and then had the hat paced on his head by Professor McGonagall. He tried to peak inside of her robes but she was too quick, the hat was on his head and down over his eyes. Almost straight away the hat began talking to him. "Ah, Mister Archer. A pleasure to make your acquaintance again." It spoke in his ear, leaving Bow sat in front of the crowd who couldn't hear a thing, all watching and waiting to see who would be his perfect match. "Let me see ... oh yes, yes. I think I've got it." He said, still continuing to talk to Bow, who had no bloody idea how to talk to a magical hat, "WYNTER TOOTS." The hat called out loud, Bow more than happy with his match tonight. There was clapping and cheering from the small crowd that was gathered and Bow even heard a 'Woop!' from Eli's direction. He stood up after McGonagall had taken the hat off his head and returned it back to its stand, he smiled his cocky but cheeky little smile as he waited for Wynter to reach him and then he could take her hand, walk her to the cloaks and the pair of them could drape the cloaks over one another and hang out until everyone else was paired. Then it was time for the real fun of Lupercalia to start!

 Forget the reckless things we've done, I think our lives have just begun Wynnie was not at all surprised to find out that Lupercalia existed. A castle full of magic, lessons on how to protect yourself against dark arts, a forest on the grounds that's forbidden because of the deadly creatures that dwell there. Of course there was a dark and sexy ancient ritual of debauchery once a year! Wyn was too curious, too nosy, too open minded to really be shocked like some of her classmates had been. A few of the girls had been absolutely flabbergasted and nervous beyond belief when they'd had it all explained to them a few days earlier. Not Wyn. She was all for it and could not wait to find out who her match was. She hoped it would be someone sexy and mysterious like Cole Cresswell, or just someone with an amazing body like Eli Bulstrode, but honestly, there were cute guys all over the castle that she wouldn't mind being paired up with. Her type was dark and dangerous, but the hat would pair her with whoever it felt was right for her, and she trusted that. When had the Sorting hat ever been wrong? She sat around the fire by the lake with her friends, all of them dressed in appropriate garb. Wynnie felt great about the whole thing, her outfit, the fun cloaks they would be wearing, the night in the forest. The only part that would really bug her afterwards was the secrecy. She didn't like secrets, she liked to talk about things. In depth. To anyone who would listen. She would just have to bite her tongue and deal with it, because as chatty and gossipy as she was, she would respect tradition. She didn't have to wait long to be paired up. Bow Archer was the first to be called to the throne, and moments after he sat down, the Sorting hat called Wyn's name in a booming voice, and she grinned, standing and making her way over to Bow, who waited by the throne for her. She put her hand in his and they made their way over to the cloaks. She let Bow fasten a red cloak around her neck, then she looped a wolf cloak around his shoulders and pulled the hood up over his head. Bow was a cutie. Not dark and dangerous, but confident and funny, and she was more than happy with her match for her first Lupercalia. _______________________ tag: Bowman Ulysses Archer words: 439 notes: <3 outfit: The real deal.[googlefont="Montez"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

The first pair had been made. A fine young pair. Over the years Minnie had seen couples paired in Lupercalia that had gone on to have beautiful relationships that blossomed into a family. Lupercalia was fun but it was also rewarding, it brought people together to explore all realms of magic, not just that which could be accomplished with a wand. "Belby, Umber." She called the second name. Young Belby came forward, a handsome lad that was paired with a very handsome beau last year. It wasn't long before he was paired with Phoebe McKinnon. Minnie was certain that would be a heated match. The two of them would make quite a pair. "Bulstrode, Eli." Eli was under the hat for what felt like quite some time. The hat eventually called out for Isabel Hart to join him and then the pair were off to get their cloaks. "Carrow, Alecto." Minnie was curious to see where this was going to go. It was known among the staff that she was extremely close to her brother. He had been spotted on the occasional Hogsmeade weekend visiting her. Minnie wasn't saying there was anything untoward going on there - it may have been a completely innocent relationship - but if it turned out there was some sort of incestuous relationship occurring then she wouldn't be surprised.

Bleh bleh. The matches were made but nothing was of interest to Alecto. She was just waiting to hear her name. As the cute guys came and went, paired with others, Alecto was disappointed. There were some absolute hotties that had been called up and she would have liked one of them for her own, but now that it was her turn she could demand someone hot from that hat, so that was a win.
Standing in front of the throne, Alecto took a quick look at the unmatched faces. She picked out a few hot guys she wouldn't mind spending her Lupercalia with and then she sat down on the throne. The hat was placed over her head and she could hear it talking to her. "Miss Carrow, a pleasure, a pleasure. Now! Who would be your Lupercalian match this year?" The hat sounded enthusiastic, like it enjoyed pairing up couples to go screw each others brains out in the forest or something. Alecto made a list of the guys she'd seen before the hat went on her head but the hat just 'hmm'ed at her before making its decision. "SOPHIE VECTOR." Sophie Vector!? A Professor's daughter!? Seriously!?!?! Alecto was surprised. She'd always thought of a few girls as attractive and always wondered what it would be like to be with a girl, but she'd never actually been with one so intimately. At least Sophie was a hottie. Alecto was actually kind of looking forward to spending Lupercalia with Sophie.

 Things were all good yesterday, then the devil took your breath away Lupercalia. Again. Last year had been a bit boring. Sophie had been paired with an arrogant seventh year who was only interested in getting into her knickers as quickly as possible. She had slapped him and they'd spent the rest of the night in stony silence. She wasn't looking forward to it this year, given her past experience, but she would take part and see what the night brought. It was her final year, she had to embrace all that it had to offer, but if anyone tried to push her into doing something she didn't want, this year she would go one step further and instead of a slap it would be a solid hex in the face that her match received. She knew she would be one of the last on McGonagalls list, her surname saw to that on any alphabetical occasion, and thus the likelihood of her sitting under the hat was slim. She didn't mind so much. There was nobody in the castle she really wanted to be matched with, so it didn't really matter who her partner for the night would be. She would deal, but she hoped she would have a better experience for her last Lupercalia. Her dress was a little revealing, well, for Sophie Vector it was, and she felt the winter chill bite into her skin as she listened to the Headmaster give his speech, and McGonnagall explained the rules and began reading out names. Sophie scooted closer to the bonfire, enjoying the warmth on her bare shoulders until the hat shrieked her name into the night. "What? she muttered, looking around in confusion. But Alecto Carrow was wearing the hat, there had to be a mistake. Sophie froze, looked around at the faces by the lake, all staring at her, waiting for her to stand up and go to Alecto. A girl. She had been paired with a girl? If she were completely honest with herself, she had always been curious, but she'd never pursued it. Lupercalia with a girl. She supposed it wasn't the worst thing that could have happened tonight. Slowly, Sophie stood, chin held high, dark eyes finding Alecto, who admittedly looked stunning tonight. She made her way to the other girl and they walked to the cloaks together. Soph offered the red cloak to Alecto, her nerves telling her that being the wolf and getting a head start into the forest might be the wiser option. She donned the wolf cloak, surprised at how well it went with her dress and feathered shawl. She was going to run fast and run hard before she would give into her more secret urges. _______________________ tag: Alecto Cecilia Carrow words: 480 notes: <3 outfit: Letting loose a little.[googlefont="Dr Sugiyama"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

It was wonderful to see how things were progressing tonight. Sometimes Minerva questioned whether the sorting hat knew what it was doing or whether it did things just for the hell of it. Heck, maybe it was even completely random pairings based on who was around, but Minnie wasn't certain she wanted to be the one to let Hazel know who Sophie's match had been. In fact, Minnie thought it best that like most parents, Hazel was unaware and could just assume that her daughter had a good time, which wasn't to say Sophie wasn't going to have a good time, but her company this evening was a rather odd choice, Minnie would have expected Miss Carrow to have been set up with someone more ... Slytheriny, and Miss Vector with someone more intellectually driven, but whatever the reason for the pairing, Minnie hoped that Sophie would have fun. And Alecto. Kind of.
"Cresswell, Cole." Minnie could practically hear the remaining girls swoon as young Mr Cresswell came up to the hat. At a school like Hogwarts it was rare for the teachers to not know what was going on and it was even more rare for there not to be any romances. Part of Lupercalia was giving the students permission to explore a perfectly natural side of humanity, it let them know, somewhere in the back of their minds, that their Professors and other staff members at Hogwarts, were well aware of what they might be getting up to around the castle. Minnie had caught a few students here and there getting a little too hot and heavy in a classroom, but if they kept out of sight, cover their tracks well enough, then she didn't mind too much if they gave in to their building, flourishing urges.
Cole Cresswell was matched with Gypsy Lovell. A match Minnie hadn't seen coming but it was interesting, regardless. "Fawcett, Lucy." Minnie read from the scroll. Ah, Lucy Fawcett. Minnie rather liked her. She was a good student and rather well behaved. Picking up the sorting hat, Minnie was ready to place the hat on the student's head, playing a little guessing game of her own as to who might be Lucy's partner for her first Lupercalia.

 Give me love like never before 'cause lately I've been craving more Her flowing dress caught on a leaf here, a twig there as Lucy walked to the throne. It seemed huge now that she was closer to it. Lupercalia. Who'd have thought such a thing existed at a school? It had been a bit of a surprise to find out about it, and Lucy would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous. She was no prude but shacking up with some random guy in the forest was a bit of a daunting prospect. She really couldn't see herself doing anything tonight, not even a kiss really, unless she was matched with someone she really liked. She wouldn't rule a kiss out, but more than that just seemed a bit silly and reckless, two things Lucy definitely was not. She didn't have a clue who the hat would choose to pair her up with, and her head was empty of ideas or suggestions as she passed her peers, then Professor McGonagall, and finally sat upon the throne. The Sorting Hat was placed on her head, and Lucy froze, her eyes glued to the frosty grass at her feet. "Hmmm, not the most enthusiastic, are we?" Lucy couldn't form a response. It was strange having someone inside your head reading your innermost thoughts. She had thought nothing of it aged eleven when she was being sorted but now that she was older it dawned on her that it was rather intrusive. She wasn't keen. "Don't worry, you'll soon warm up to the idea. I know exactly who you'll have a night to remember with." Luce stiffened. The hat had made a decision. Her heart raced as her pale hands gripped the arms of the throne tightly. "HEATH SCAMANDER!" Lucy's eyes widened, and then the most relaxed sensation flowed through her entire body. Heath. Yes, he was her ultimate crush, but they'd been spending a bit more time together over the last few months and she was more comfortable in his presence than any of the other guys that could have been chosen for her. She stood from the throne, dark eyes scanning the crowds until she saw him stand, like some golden god rising from the throngs of commoners. Lucy smiled. Lupercalia, eh? _______________________ tag: Heath Jarred Scamander words: 405 notes: <3 outfit: Not so innocent.[googlefont="Mr Dafoe"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

Lupercalia. It hadn't taken a lot for Heath to agree to that. He wasn't really one for stepping outside of his comfort zones, but he was willing to give a lot of new things a chance, especially this tradition. Professor McGonagall had told them all that it dated back to the very beginning of the school's history, and even beyond that Lupercalia was an event celebrated by many outside of Hogwarts. Heath had never really thought much about what happened around Valentine's Day. He'd always just figured that was it, just Valentine's day, but how wrong he was, and delightfully so. It seemed as though it was going to be great fun, no matte who his partner would be.
With his name near the bottom of the list, Heath expected his name to be called out before the hat would be able to reach his head. He watched as Lucy made her way up to the throne and sat herself down with elegance. She looked like a virginal Goddess right up until the sorting hat was lowered on to her head. It came as no surprise to Heath when his name was called out, he had been hoping for it and he'd been feeling the right sort of connection with Lucy as of late, that could lead them to be partners for Lupercalia. He made his way up to the throne and took Lucy's hand, bowing before her and giving the back of her hand a gentle kiss. He turned and walked her towards the other couples and picked up a red cloak. He let go of Lucy's hand and stepped behind her, slipping the cloak over her shoulders and running the backs of his fingers down her arms. Heath stepped around Lucy and picked up his own cloak, throwing it over his shoulders and fastening it at the front. He lowered himself into another bow so that Lucy could pull the wolf hood up over his head, he would make this night magical for them both. Once they were cloaked, Heath stood beside Lucy and took hold of her hand, turning and watching the others get matched.

Lucy matched with Heath and the couple made their way to the cloaks. Minnie looked down at her list and called out the next name, "Greengrass, Beatrice." She watched the sour looking red-head approach the throne. Minnie knew exactly why she was wearing that face, her boyfriend had been partnered with someone else. Zane Flint had gone just before and there she was, expecting to be called out by the sorting hat, but no. Another poor girl had been called, leaving Miss Greengrass looking rather bitter. Mr Flint had looked rather pleased with himself, though. Perhaps tonight would be the night that Beatrice Greengrass finally dumped her clearly abusive boyfriend and found someone better for her. "CASSIUS WILDER." Minnie internally cringed and pulled the sorting hat off of the redhead and placed it back on its stand. Cassius Wilder was certainly an interesting choice for Beatrice and definitely not one Minnie would have picked. The pair walked off, both clearly unimpressed with their match, and Beatrice even took her hand away from poor Cassius before they'd even got half way to the cloaks. Minnie just moved on to save people watching the pair, "Hardstark, Morgan." She called, picking up the hat, ready to place it on Morgan's head.

 I'm not a princess I don't need saving
This was her first time participating in Lupercalia and so far, Morgan was unimpressed. All dressed up with nowhere to go was the literal motto of the evening as the participating students were trotted out into the woods, prepared to partake in an archaic tradition that she’d only just recently had been informed of. Why was no one else talking about the huge school-sponsored sexcapades in the Forbidden Forest? The professors had made it quite clear that sex was not required, while mutual consent was, but Mor could read between the lines. This was Dumbledore-approved-booty. It was shocking. Morgan was skeptical that she would be matched with anyone she really had any interest in, and if the sorting hat matched her with a bloke she’d be downright pissed. It was a brilliant hat at sorting eleven year olds into their prospective houses, but who would have thought it was a sex-positive hat as well?!
Morgan shifted her weight as she stood toward the back of the group, watching as the others slowly paired up and her pool of prospective partners began to dwindle. She had decided it would be better to have the hat call out her name than Professor McGonagall, because at least then she wouldn’t be forced to sit in front of everyone while the nosey hat picked away at her brain. Would it sound pervy inside her head? She realized now that she had forgotten what the hat sounded like when it spoke directly to the wearer. Were there other uses for the hat that she’d not been clued in about, or was it content to sit on a dusty shelf all but for two days a year, unable to snoop on people’s inner most thoughts and naughty desires? She was well into a mental rabbit hole and falling further as her thoughts of the sorting hat’s extra curricular activities piqued her interest, when her name was called and her head snapped up. “Bollocks.”
Morgan waded through the remaining students and made her way up to Professor McGonagall and the minxy hat. Was it inappropriate to think Professor McG was looking rather hot this evening? Yes, of course it was! She turned and sat, her face feeling hot as the hat was placed on her head. ‘Hmmm… you are an interesting one, aren’t you?’ Morgan was getting nervous listening to the hat ponder aloud in her skull. Just get on with it already, she urged silently. ‘Very well then.’ “XANTHA TRAVERS!” The name was shouted for all to hear and Morgan’s eyes instantly began to scan the crowd, heart pounding.

Xan was excited about Lupercalia. Last year she'd been matched with Ash Sawyer, a guy in her year and house, and it had been fun. She'd had a good time with him and had even hooked up with him a couple more times after Lupercalia was finished. There was an excitement from Lupercalia that lasted quite some time after the night was over. Xan, just like most people, had been surprised to learn about its existence, but once she got used to the idea, she was excited to take part. This school year she'd been trying not to think of it, but it was hard as it approached. She couldn't help but wonder who she might be paired with, picking out preferences silently to herself over the last couple of weeks. Ash would have been fun, she wouldn't have minded revisiting their last Lupercalia, but someone new would be equally fun, she was sure. There were quite a few students taking part this year and there were still a lot of students waiting to be paired up with their match. Xan's surname was near the bottom of the list, alphabetically speaking, so she didn't really expect to get called up by Professor McGonagall, expecting that the hat would be the one to call her name.
This year Xan heard her name called relatively early and she looked to see who was under the hat as she'd been swatting at Ravenclaw div that was trying to pull the hair of the girl stood in front of him. Giving a final glare to the twit that was somehow in the house of the learned, Xan made her way up to the chair where Morgan had been sitting, Professor McGonagall having pulled the hat from Morgan's head and placed it back on the stand. Xan had to admit, she didn't know a lot about Morgan but she knew the face and name. Gryffindor Quidditch teams Keeper and Captain. With Xan being the head girl she supposed, as she reached her hand out and offering it to Morgan, that they'd be quite the power couple on paper, so maybe they'd hit it off. Ignoring the immature "OooOOOoooo!"s of the crowd as Morgan took her hand, Xan walked her partner to the cloaks. She checked with Morgan what she'd like to be and slipped the red cloak around her shoulders. Xan bent her knees a little so Morgan could return the favour, placing the wolf cloak around Xan's shoulders. Once it was fastened, Xan straightened up and looked to her Lupercalian match with a smile, pretty happy that the hat had picked what Xan felt would be a fun and, to some extent, challenging partner for her. Her eyes drifted back to the pairings as McGonagall called out another persons name.

Another match made. Minnie carried on, reading out the names of students and having them find their pairs through the sorting hat's magic. Some pairs made little sense to Minnie, but she hoped the sorting hat knew what it was doing, of course there was the chance it was completely random and the Sorting Hat was just having a laugh at everyone's expense. Regardless, some good pairs came out of Lupercalia and Minnie hoped that it would continue that way. "Kowalski, Ava." Ah, another member of her house. Minnie didn't like to admit it, but she did favour those in her own house. She did her best to remain impartial but she really hoped that every single one of them were given pleasant matches.

It was as though Ava had a sixth sense about what was going to happen. She was well aware that no matter what she said or did, she was going to be matched with Ash. When her name was called and neither she nor Ash had been paired, Ava just knew that the sorting hat was going to pair them. Did she want to be paired with Ash? Hell yes! There was no one she'd rather be paired with. Did she want Ash to think she totally had the hots for him? Well yeah, but in a cool way, not in a way where the Sorting Hat put you together to snog and get all freaky with one another. Was she still going to go through with tonight? You bet ya.
Walking up to the throne, Ava sat down. She placed her hands in her lap and the hat was slipped onto her head. "Oh yes, well this is easy." came the hats voice but Ava instantly got to thinking, 'No, no, no!'. The Sorting Hat seemed confused, she felt it twitch on her head at her objection, "No? Why, I haven't even told you who your match is. Surely you want to know.", Ava did, she most certainly did, but at the same time she just knew it was Ash, there was no way it wasn't, was there? It didn't matter, 'Ash. Ash Sawyer, but please,' she begged, 'Don't say his name so soon. Merlin I don't want to look desperate or anything.' and she didn't, the idea of being under the hat for all of two seconds before it announced her match was Ash was mortifying, but now was she dragging this out too long? 'Oh shit, should his name have been announced by now?' she wondered, "Who said it's a he?" the hat asked. Ava was speechless for a moment. Had she not been paired with Ash? "Well I think enough time has passed, Miss Kowalski." Ava was already blushing, wondering who she'd get. She'd been so sure her match was Ash but maybe she wasn't his ideal match so perhaps she'd been paired with someone else. "ASH SAWYER." Oh shit. Ava felt the hat lift off her head. She looked about as she stood up. Had he been her match all along and the hat was just messing with her, or had she been so pathetically desperate that she'd somehow accidentally convinced the hat to give her a shot with Ash? Could she have the hat back for a few more seconds, just to ask!?!
