He wasn’t going to come out, was he? He was going to stay in that booth until she left because he was still upset and—Cassia. Ella stopped all unnecessary panicking and smiled at the Slytherin, feeling rather sheepish after hearing the compliment. ”Hey! I-thank you. You look really pretty.” It was always nice to see everyone all dressed up, not that Cassia wasn’t pretty anyway. This school was full of beautiful people.

And how adorable were the little Gryffindor fairy and the boy she was with? Were they on a date? Ahh, young love. Ella smiled a little at them, watching their interaction from afar and waiting for the boyfriend person to show his face. Had they been like this way back when? Hm.

There he was. Ella noticed the forced smile first and foremost and it was almost enough to warrant a frown but she did her best not to. This was supposed to be fun, remember? The compliment felt a bit forced too but she ignored the sinking feeling in her stomach because…yeah. It was just better that way. ”Thanks. You look nice too.” He always did so that was sort of stating the obvious but still. Following his gaze towards the stage, she nodded vaguely at what he’d said and then her green eyes found his grey-blue ones and she bit her lip. Did he really want to know?

”Yeah, I am. I…danced a bit. Bands great, you should get closer and check them out.” She could go with him…if he wanted. ”Are you having fun?” Important question, that was.

And then he went off to be helpful and Ella was left to her thoughts which was never good. Thankfully Adi popped up and the Head Girl smiled, waving at him. "Hey there. Having fun?"

Seemed to be the question of the night.
