Coming in from the Sleigh rides, Salander follows Lexi into the marquee, his fingers interlaced with hers. This was turning into the best night of his life so far, the drama from earlier that night feeling like it was ancient history.

He could see their Head Girl take to the stage but his eye caught something else as he drew close to a table-- his pink corsage for Lexi that was left there earlier that night. Without breaking pace he swiped it and pocketed it quickly, intending to turn it into a keepsake.

He clapped heartily for friends who were awarded-- Matty who was almost unrecognizable in the ruffles, Kurumi whose skirt looks to be almost as big as her.... oh and Little Tea Pot Maisie! Yes much deserved it was.

Then he heard it-- Lexi's name first, then his own. He stared wide eyed, wondering if he was hearing things again, until Lexi turned and spoke to him, nuzzling him back to reality.

Best dressed couple? Imagine that.

No need to imagine-- cuz their handing out certificates!

He stepped forward with Lexi in tow and took the parchments with their name on it. Yup alllll his name on it. Giving the Prefects and the Professors a thankful nod-- and specially the Head Girl for being kind enough to spare him his dignity by just calling out his last name, he said "Thanks! We werent really expecting this, we just dressed for comfort as much as style y'know? But really I think we looked this awesome because of my girlfriend here." he smiled as he looked at Lexi straight in the eye and squeezed her hand. Yes babe, we're official.
