No more practicing with a couple of people watching. Now a whole audience.

"I think we are about ready to start this"

"Things like this, hmm?" Nigel earned another playful smile. "...because we just have these types of parties all the time." Vesper dropped him a deliberate wink before gravitating towards her keyboard. It was weird to have a show...and for her equipment to already be set up for her. Who had moved their stuff here? She hadn't asked...

Running her fingers along the ivory keys at intervals, nothing seemed off or tampered with. No, the Ravenclaw wasn't one for violence...but there weren't any promises if something would've been messed up. OH, and her mitt was here, too. With a wide BEAMY FACE, Ves plucked it up and tugged it on and up her left hand, securing the Velcro. It was fingerless with a pullover cover (for her fingers), of course...meant to keep her hands toasty while she played. Since they were waiting to begin, she did some digit warmups...fingering the keys in quicker concessions now.

But, man, she looked stunning. Did anyone stop to look at Vesper today? She's just...WOW. Do you see the flowers??? How did she do it, though? Because that wasn't permanent, so they must be charmed on her skin. Incredible. Totally approved by Lotus Wisteria. And she will ask later. Also, Lottie owns a dress similar to that one. Go figure.

Yes, Jeremiah, we know the band. Clearly.

"I think we're about to start!....Catch you during our first break, though, okay?" There was stuff to talk about! Vesper wanted to ask Lotie about a trip she wanted to go on this summer...and well, yea. It needed to be discussed. There might have been others she could've asked...but...other stuff made that weird. And Ves was having ZERO weirdness tonight. NO WEIRDNESS ALLOWED.

"...And thank you, Miss Penelope! You, too!"...The Gryffindor girl got a wink and maybe even some wiggly brows. She looked so pretty! Seriously, how Scan landed HER of all people, Ves would never understand. Him and his noise...BUT SHE ADORED HIM, okay?! Gosh, he could never know, though...or she'd never hear the end of it. His stoopid vain self.

Then Vesper arrived and wow. West stared a bit, fascinated by the petals, and also by her confidence. "Ves... you look brilliant." Apt word because she kind of shone with it. Like she belonged right here. In her element. He was eager to see if it got even more so when they started.

He did manage to grin at her though and did a little spin to show off his own threads. "Hey, we match." And Nigel was right, it was time. Hopefully their set would go well.

...BLUSH! He'd............said she looked brilliant. Ves paused for a moment, having to remind herself that she was about to perform...and collapsing on the spot was not a good idea. It was just West. West said things like that to everyone. NOT a big deal. Yes, she would remain casual.

*INTERNAL FLAILING*

"I'd say great minds think alike...but yours is much better than mine." If the words were a bit shaky...oops? Gosh, she couldn't look at him. Too much pretty on that boy's face. It wasn't natural...In fact, to distract herself, she stepped further away...all casual-like, trying not to look at him too much. All the Ravenclaw needed to be focused on was CONFIDENCE. Eyes were on them...It couldn't matter at the moment that some people just didn't know the effect they had on others...

Then, they were beginning...and the adrenaline was a-flowin'. Vesper could hardly contain her excitement. WHERE WAS HER TAMBOURINE?!....They had a set list, because they were professional about this, obviously...and there wasn't piano with their first song...So, she'd be showing off the shiny instrument she'd gotten for Christmas, along with the awesome scarf that had the 'DEAD KNEAZLES' logo stitched into the bottom of it; a gift from her mom. *BEAM* Because now it totally looked like a Stevie Nicks tambourine...just like she wanted.

She glanced to Nigel...and then to West...and then to Ascanius; the look on her face utterly STUPID with her HAPPINESS.

“Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair...” *TWIRL*

SPOILER!!: West!

Fleetwood Mac. Vesper loved that her bandmates got it. That made them WINNERS. *SPAZ*

Finding and grasping her black tambourine loosely, she stepped around her keyboard to allow herself some room. Unlike the piano, this was all about movement...So, 'space needed' was a given.

When West started to actually play, she glanced in his direction, still grinning stupidly. Ugh. FIRST GIG FEELS...and he was pretty. It was both awesome and terrible looking at him.

Finding her 'in', she grasped the body of the mic with her left hand, and moved the instrument in her right, the flower petals on her arm flashing red and pink. Still, no nerves. Not even a little bit. "Lovin' you......isn't the right thing to do..." She forced herself to not look at just one person. Performance 101. "....How can I........ever change things...that I feel?" Her voice sang through, soulful and full of conviction; mainly because she loved this band, this song...and yea, Ves sang it in her bedroom at home A LOT. Why not sing it like you mean it..."....If I could, baby I'd give you my world...but how can I....when you won't take it from me?"

Oh, snap. The beat picked up and she made sure to move her body with the music, allowing herself to get into it...because why not? PERFORMANCE. West joined her in harmonies now...and she couldn't stop herself from grinning cheekily at him. "You can go your own waaaaaaaaaaay....Go your own waaaaaaaaaaay...." Then, she broke off, handing vocal control over to the West. She backed him where he needed it, all the while adding to the rhythm with shakes of her hand.

...And then she spotted Alice. This shouldn't have surprised her or anything. Of COURSE, Alice would be there supporting West...like a good girlfriend. She was standing next to Dora...and Vesper had to stop herself from rolling her eyes, amending that previous thought. Not because of Dora...but because Dora had probably been the one to drag her over here...She was good like that...and Alice was difficult. Vesper knew.

It might have been the performance...or confidence she'd gained from being dressed up and painted, but she narrowed her eyes at the Gryffindor. Did Alice see it? The Ravenclaw hoped so.

OOC: *has permission to godmod the West slightly*

Quote: Originally Posted by Tegz West adjusted his grip on his guitar and moved in front of his microphone.

The music on the soundsystem faded away and he switched the microphone on. "First off, I wanna thank everyone for being here tonight -we're mostly gonna play a bunch of covers of classic Muggle bands... so obviously professor Hadley should give all of us extra credit for the research." Grin. "And since this is the Half-Hearted ball... we're supposed to be playing love songs to get everyone in the mood, and well we figure this is close enough.
