Alyssa balanced herself on the wobbly ladder hand in the air as she tried to pin the upped corner of a hand drawn banner. It was reminiscent of the banners many muggles hung on their ceilings at parties. The one magical difference was that this one threw confetti to every passerby below it. Annoying yes, but effective in giving everyone the welcome back cheer they deserved. Also her letters were sparkly and way better looking than any muggle could achieve.

She smiled briefly at the thought of the many people enjoying her sur[rise before becoming frustrated once more with the fact that the stupid muggle thing she had bought to stick the banner on the wall wasn't working. She had wanted to give it a more authentic feel and so while the letters were magical she had added the magic after she had done them by hand. It was all so perfect and would be if not for this stupid "tape" she believed it was called.

Sighing she looked around checking that no one was in sight before pulling out her wand and muttering a spell under her breath. Instantly the banner corner flew up into it's spot and stayed there. Deciding that she had already broken one rule she might as well add more magical touches she muttered another spell to make it wave gently. Content with her work she made the msitake of leaning back on the ladder forgetting that this thing was muggle and therefore prone to break down. She slipped backward off the very high ladder and toward the very hard building floor.

Instinct took over and she let her hands down to break her fall letting out a small screech. However, like every prominent family heir she was "insured" through a magical spell that prevented any accidental harm to come to her. Falling from ladders apparently was included and she found herself halting suddenly before floating gently to the ground. She was glad she had chosen to fall rather turned into a bird or something else. Letting out a small sigh of relief she picked herself up the ground and glowered at the menacing ladder.

"Damn muggles and their idiotic inventions. " she muttered not really meaning her words only frightened by the previous events. Upset and clearly flustered she waved her waned making the ladder disappear to wherever she had summoned it from. It was as she was waving her wand that her arm went under the banner causing confetti to appear over her. "Today is just not my day" she cursed moving away from the banner. The confetti would disappear as soon as she got ten feet away.

Walking backwards she eyed the banner and her decorations with her replicates of human balloons. Over all the site looked quite welcoming pleased she continued walking backward trying to get the ten feet away so that the confetti that covered her would disappear. She walked a few more feet without a problem before running into something solid. Rolling her eyes in frustration she turned around ready to demand and give and apology. After all who the hell doesn't move out of the way when they see someone walking backwards for Merlin's sake.
