Professors must have been feeling quite sadistic when making lesson plans for this term, particularly Stryker. What had the seventh year done to ever deserve such a thing? Being a prefect, which had increased his visibility around the school, would only harm him if he danced like an idiot.
It was only upon entering the area and spotting his one and only that his spirits were lifted. Scrambling over to Alfie, Theo aimed a quick kiss and planted in onto her cheek before plopping down beside her. "This will definitely be interesting, love," He mused, scanning the faces of students both familiar and unfamiliar. What dances were they going to do? The samba, the salsa, the shuffle?! Maybe a wizarding dance that Theo had never heard of?
Just as the little blonde Ravenclaw was scanning the area, her large blue eyes caught sight of just the familiar face she had wanted to see. Alfie seemed to just barely catch sight of Theo entering the gazebo before he was already at her side, planting a kiss onto her cheek. The gesture got a beaming smile to light up her expression and she couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle as he commented about how interesting the lesson was bound to be. "There's no doubt about that," she agreed with an amused smile, turning to look at him with obvious gratefulness in her expression.
"I'm glad you're here though," Alfie confessed with a soft smile, honesty in her features. But she really didn't want to dance with someone she didn't know. It would just be too awkward, especially since she wasn't that good with dancing in the first place. "But I feel obligated to inform you that I'm quite possibly the worst dancing partner you could possibly have," she admitted with a sympathetic smile.
