Of course he pitched it to the school as a coming together of unity between houses, a little social event that had strict promises not to go off the rails. Nothing illegal for fun, it would just be a good spot of mingling outside while the temperature was still nice. Of course Aaric had worked with the school and had seen too it that some of the refreshers were worthwhile. Little snacks were available, as well as taking the time to find enough logs that those who wanted to sit would have the ability to do so. It wasn't a true<em>Balor</em>party, but it was arranged by one, and it was a sample everyone would get to enjoy. He suspected his name wouldn't be passed around too much, more likely students were being told about a<em>bonfire</em>down by the lake, instead of being told<em>Aaric was holding a bonfire</em>. Still he found that it didn't both him so much, instead he was quite content to let the gathering take on it's own life form.<br/><br/>When it was time to start it, he did a simple fire spell and took a seat. At the time there were only a few students, but more began to gather as the light began to fade and the only illumination would be the fire itself. There were often two ways Aaric handled himself in such situations, either he was hunting for someone to flirt with, or he was simply observing and this time at least to start he elected to observe. The castle was no longer so new to the first years that most of them were shambling around uncomfortably. The rivals had time to make amends or create new ones, in general it was the first real event the school had since everyone had settled down, and their behavior would reflect it. What stories were being written around him?<br/><br/>There appeared to be plenty of tension in the air going round, as bit by bit students started to pair off with one another. Others were having friendly chats. Morray was maknig the rounds with a few individuals, but seemed to settle on a Gryffindor third year. He didn't know Morray on a any personal level, but from what he understood she carried on the tradition of Slytherin pick up artists quite proudly. Perhaps that was exactly what she had in mind? Would be exactly what a bonfire was good for after all.<br/><br/>A call for weed was heard over the crowd and Aaric's eyes moved in the direction, once more it was Morray's bunch. Aaric didn't provide anything, but that was because his name was attached to the bonfire. The last thing he needed was the school coming down on him for illegal substances being passed around. Taking a mental note if it<em>did</em>happen to come back to him, he had a direction to point them. Perhaps get himself out of a little trouble if it happened to find him.<br/><br/>He also caught sight of a pair of young men he recognized from the sorting ceremony as first years. They had easily taken advantage of the bonfire. Blossoming romance was always a favorite of Aaric's. He wondered what type it was, the simple magnetic kind that you felt when everything fell into place just right, and someone made a bold first step, which made the second, then third easier. Or perhaps they had begun to bond as strangers in a strange castle miles away from any civilization? Probably the kind of story to tell around a bonfire in the future.<br/><br/>His eyes continued to pan around and finally Aaric caught sight of Xual, who knew what his fellow fourth year had been up too before then. Perhaps trying to court his own little romance story for the night? Regardless Aaric checked quickly and noted that there didn't seem to be anyone Xual was specifically mingling and, and took advantage of the absence of any such company to make himself that company.<br/><br/>"Top of the evenin' to ya mate," he said, reaching out as he approached to take a seemingly extra beer from Xual's hand."What 'ave ya been up ta?" He asked curious what his friend had been involving himself in before Aaric had caught sight of him.<em>He had the suspicion he was looking for his sister</em>, but if that wasn't the case Aaric was sure it'd be a story worth hearing. Xual was always great for that.
