All threads are considered open - there are no closed threads and everyone is encouraged to mingle between them! It's a real opportunity for characters to socialise.
3. Everyone can come! Provided you're a Pureblood or a Half-Blood, though.
4. The ball will last until this time next week so there is no rush to get things done! If you're still not finished then send me a pm and the thread will be moved to the Wizarding World.
5. Have fun!
