Kimberly sighed as she placed the last streamer into place, her hands brushing through her hair calmly as she looked up at the decorations. She had never been one to decorate, but when the party announced she had decided that she'd take it upon herself to at least try to make it enjoyable for the rest of the Prefects. She stepped back and admired her work, the nearly invisible wire making most of the decorations appear to float. Sure she hated decorating, but it didn't mean that she couldn't do a decent job, plus it gave her a reason to play around with different kinds of wire and see what she liked, though the one wound into her bracelet was still the better choice in her opinion.
The young bounty hunter turned on her heels and walked over to one of the couches, taking a swift seat and picking up the wine glass she had been sipping from for the majority of the evening. She looked at the red liquid and then back to the punch bowl that had been set up. At least it looked like punch so no one would accuse her of having a glass of wine. She leaned back, holding the glass in the palm of her hand and glancing around at her handy-work. It wasn't really the best job but it would work. She smiled a bit as she checked the time, enjoying the peace before the storm. That was the real reason why she decided to take up the job by herself, so she could get a bit of peacefulness before things got noisy.
She watched the clock tick by in the silence, patiently waiting for the time to come, enjoying her glass while she could. Would things be hectic? Probably, were they ever not? She had just finished the glass when she heard the door creak open, her eyes flashing over to it, instantly on edge out of habit before the Prefects came streaming in. She simply smiled at them, hoping that the place wasn't wrecked within the next few hours, she didn't need to clean up too much of a mess.
Well, here we go. It's time to welcome myself to a very, very loud night. A quiet New Years woulda been nice for a change.
