A few years ago a group of older Ravenclaws discovered that when the school was first founded, a masquerade ball was held annually. They went around petitioning to bring it back, but since only people in their house seemed interested they seemed to drop it. In reality there is a masquerade ball held every year, in Ravenclaw Tower. A select few teachers are made aware in advance (Flitwick because he’d find out anyway and Madame Pomfrey in case something goes wrong), but no other teachers or students are even aware of it. A small group will go into the dressmaker’s in Hogsmeade each time they visit, people will buy or borrow or make masks, and a few hours before it starts the soundproofing on the Common Room is doubled. It’s usually near the end of the year, and it’s a good opportunity to be two of the things Ravenclaws most love to be: historical and extra.
