[Claire]

Albus Dumbledore remained on the stage after announcing the Cleverest Ravenclaw award. “Now it is time for the Loyal and Friendly Hufflepuffs.”<br>
“The nominations for Loyalest Hufflepuff are: Ace, Faye, Faerlain, Kasey Bear, lottie and Wyl. The winner is: KASEY BEAR!”<br>

[K~Bear]

The blonde Hufflepuff stood in front of the long mirror in her Dorm Room, adding the last touches to her outfit. Her dress was a soft baby blue, with glitter scattered widely at the top of the skirt and getting more and closer towards the bottom. Slipping the diamontie butterfly clip into her hair, Kasey smoothed out her skirt and her pearly pink painted lips curled into a smile. Walking down the stairs to the Common Room, her golden hair that had been put into soft curls floated along behind her, bright blue eyes twinkling as she passed through the Common Room, smiling to all of it occupants.

Walking through the castle, she recived lots of stares and whispered praises as she passed by students in the hall ways. Picking up her skirt as she walked made her way quickly across the stone floor of the Entrance Hall, her heels clicking softly with each step. She pushed open the large oak doors, and walked down the stairs and towards the large midnight tent that sat in the middle of the grounds.

Pushing the flap aside, Kasey stepped elegantly into the tent and nodded and smiled to those she knew. Soon spotting Wyl, Lottie, Lorne and the other Hufflepuffs sitting in a small cluster, she walked along the row until she got to the seat in between Lorne and Wyl. Smoothing out her skirt after taking her seat and adjusting the spaghetti straps of her top, she sat waiting anxiously to see who would be annouced the winner.

Smiling up to Albus Dumbeldore as he peeled open the envelope and read the nominess, she found herself holding Lorne's hand rather tightly as she waited with baited breath. The pause in between 'The winner is... and the annocement of her name, the blonde Hufflepuff was sure her heart stopped beating.

Bright blue eyes, widening and a sqeaul escaping her lips, she turned and hugged Lorne and bear hugged Wyl, before side-stepping along the row to the end and walking quickly up onto the stage. Smiling still, she shook Albus' hand, thanked him for the award and stepped up to the microphone.

"Wow, what a shock this is. Well...I would like to start by thanking all of the people who voted for me, love you all" she said with a giggle "And I would like to thank all of my fellow Hufflepuff's for their support and friendship over the months and years. Tonite we party!!!" Kasey yelled raising her award in the air and waving it about above her head, before making her way off the stage.
