Oh they hadn't seen her?
She glanced at Maesi again and brought her hand down that she had waved. It was alright though she was busy. Jesus hadn't seen her either, but honestly she figured if any guy was with Valarie they wouldn't see her and she was not going to go over there after the stands so she just turned her head back to Irene.
SPOILER!!: Irene Quote:
Originally Posted by Irene Avery  Irene nodded several times in agreement with Madelyn. Yes, yes, photos would be fantastic. She liked the sound of that. "Yes and we must use these props! I know they're silly but it'll be fun." And who didn't like having fun? They were at a ball. They were here to enjoy themselves and not worry about the competition nor ex-boyfriends. Irene wanted to make sure that Madelyn had a great time here even after the awkward encounter with her ex and Irene's first year crush.
Irene smiled at Madelyn's compliment. "Thank you, that's very kind of you to say," she said as she twirled a long strand of brown hair. Irene grinned a little more at Madelyn's question. Heh. She had come with the best date ever. "I'm here with Isaiah Collado," she exclaimed with a bright grin and a blush. She was proud and happy to be going with such an awesome person. She really enjoyed his company and when he had asked her to dance with him at the feast.... *SWOON*. It made her feel very, very special. The smile paused on Irene's lips when she realized the second part of Madelyn's statement and worried if her friend was upset about coming alone. She hoped that. Instead of addressing that, Irene did what she always did best and looked to the future. She was an optimist. "You'll have to save me a dance. I should go congratulate Kyle and Henrietta. I can't believe he got a perfect score." Promise? "Want to do photos in ten minutes?"
Irene smiled at Kyle's wave. She would definitely have to go talk to him. She decided to make her way over to him to congratulate him. Knowing that her loud nature sometimes threw people off, she decided to go for the quieter approach. It was probably the best to do in the long run, especially since they were at a fancy ball. "Hey Kyle. I wanted to come by and say congratulations. I didn't get to watch you in the competition but I know that you were awesome," she said with a genuine grin. Irene truly meant every word that she said. Then she turned to Henrietta and beamed, "Congrats to you too, Henrietta. Love the dress!" She couldn't wait to continue competing with them. Her mind wandered to more places.... What was the next challenge going to be? Were dragons going to be involved? More dementors?
She didn't want to think of it at the moment. Right now, she just wanted to enjoy the night. "I can't believe we made it through that..." She was still in shock about the whole task. Irene glanced down at her hands, thinking of the task more so and the little girl... the dummy. She glanced up and offered both competitors a small smile. "But I guess we shouldn't think about it. What do you think of the ball?"
Oh she had a date too. So Madelyn was the only one, well maybe Maddox, because she figured he'd like to be alone so he had options? Though maybe Blakeney might have asked him. She hoped he said yes if she did. She didn't want Irene to think that she was a lame loser though so she smiled brightly, "Of course, I want to dance with everyone. There is a plus to being alone."
Alone... what a word...
"Oh yeah, have fun. Tell Kyle I said hello." Yep, pictures in ten.
SPOILER!!: Maddox and Lousia Quote:

"Pls, i am an above average dancer. Thank you very much. AND Ambrosia guess what...guess what...IM ON A BOAT AND."
oh he was waiting to say that.
He hoped he looked nice and at least picked a better suit than his brother. Which is not that hard since Jayce did not care, at least he thought he didn't.
"Thank You and i will try"
AND THERE WAS HIS DATE.
"Nothing much. Thank You. You are lookin amazing yourself. Someone has to cheer Kyle up. ALSO do i get a kiss if im good tonight???. you ready to dance?"
Important questions.
She felt more relaxed when Maddox came over, because honestly she figured he wa either with Blakeney or alone and both options were good. She could be the third wheel to them if needed. Bestie wouldn't care! Though Lousia coming over and she was here with Maddox, well that changed things. "Thank you Lousia, it's not as pretty as yours though. Everyone just loves so gorgeous." She couldn't believe how nice everyone looked and she was back to worrying about how lame she must be not to have been asked or even gotten the courage to ask anyone.
Sigh...
SPOILER!!: Jessie and Ophelia Quote:

Jessie followed the music to the ballroom, slinking around the edge until she spotted Ophe. "Ophie!" The blonde lifted her dress to better walk over to her twin. "It's crowded," she stated once close enough. How did they feel about that?
She looked around to see Madelyn waving and waved back. "Thank you! So do you!" Jessie looked over Madelyn's outfit, from her hair to her heels and..everything. Everyone looked amazing. Students cleaned up well.

Ophelia gave Jessie a nudge with her elbow and a smile, pretty identical to the one her sister had given her...since they WERE identical twins and all. "Our Aunt Tamzin made them, Madelyn. She's great with clothes... has her own company too!" But that was just sounding like she was bragging about her connections and that wasn't what she did. She did hope that Madelyn didn't think anything of it. It wasn't a huge secret that Tamzin Bronwyn was their Aunt, right? Perhaps Jessie hadn't told any of the people they were friends with...
"Besides, you look LOVELY. Where is your dress from? I really like it. Flattering!" Pheeley flashed her shoes to her sister at that point with a grin. "I can't walk in heels, your feet must be hurting already, Madelyn!"
As for the rest of the ship... Ophelia shook her head. "I haven't had a look around, no. I lost Jessie and came straight here. Have you had a look?" With that, her eyes surveyed the room and the crowds spotting other students from her school who she gave waves to and smiles also. Hi hi hi.
Oh these two were wonderful and they seemed happy to see her. Plus she didn't see any other date around them. Could they be the three musketeers? "Wait? You have an aunt that designs clothes? Oh my gosh y'all are the luckiest girls ever. I would die if I had someone that could do that. My mom can sew but only buttons and holes." They had done a few projects, but clothes as a new ballgame.
She blushed when they both complimented her dress. She always was appreciative when people complimented her. "You two are sweeter than sweet tea. There is a dress shop in the town over from where we live. I found it one day with my mom and just had to have it." Looking down at the short dress she did love that she had gotten it. "Would you two want to do the photos or dance?"
SPOILER!!: Hi Will Quote:

No holding onto the railing. Railings were for quitters.
At the bottom of the staircase, the agitated Slytherin ignored the happy dancing couples, scoffed openly at the professors looking hopefully to be approached by polite (POLITE) students, and rolled her eyes at some ickles. Nope, nope, and NOPE. Instead, she resumed her stomping in the direction of two older girls, girls Katy actually admired a great deal and who she felt might be the only people she didn't want to murder at the moment. No. Boys. No.
"Hold this, please," she thrust the frosty drink at Althea and Aslan, trusting one of them to take it before she let go of the stem. Perhaps more appalling than the stomping, Ellsworth Bott Toussaint would have a genuine heart attack over how Katy then hitched up her dress to remove the wand from her thigh holster. "Sweet Circe, that's better. I was about to blow off a butt cheek. Hi! You ladies look marvelous. Don't you sort of want to strip off your clothes and throw yourself into the lake, though?" No? Just her? Give back drink, mmmk?
Will looked like a waiter. He was sure of it. Like some guys looked amazing in suits and tuxes, and some looked like the help. Will Healy happened to be the latter, and he was feeling pretty sure someone was going to tip him and ask for help finding their coat in a few minutes. That was the sort of crap the Brits did for fun, right? Mock a guy for trying?
He stopped fidgeting with his clothes once he had entered the ballroom properly, opting instead to gape at his classmates in their fancy get-up like the Boston rube he was. Some of these dresses... and actual tuxedos... and wow. Wow.
Like Aslan. Wow. He moved on, though, since that prickly pear gave up porcupine vibes and he wasn't in the mood for rejection. He turned his attention to Madelyn, who was more a cuddly bunny and never rejected a guy in her life. Or at least, she didn't go around stabbing them through the ego like some people.
"Hey, Blondie. Let's boogie." He offered a hand to Madelyn and wiggled his fingers at her. "Please, I mean." Manners.
As she was feeling really awkward with Irene who had a date and was now watching Maddox head off with Lousia. Honestly she might have to just head out and go back to the beetle. All these couples and Oh lord yes it was Brent and his girlfriend. That's it she was going to leave.
Turning she was going to make her exit before Brent saw her, but then someone was there wiggling his adorable fingers and calling her blondie. She couldn't help but smile. "Say.." and then he did say please. "I thought you would never ask." She placed her hand in his and headed to the dance floor. Did he know how he just saved her from so much embarrassment that was only happening in her head?
Moving out to the floor she started dancing with Will, "Thank you for asking."
SPOILER!!: Vivian and Felicity
[QUOTE=Harron Peasley;12224319]
Felicity giggled at Vivian's curtsy, and offered her a semi low bow in return. "You do look indeed like a proper Princess," she said as she grinned, the biggest compliment she could give her friend right then. She felt awkward in her own pink dress, fiddling with the short front train-thing and wondering if she shouldn't have dressed up more. But this was the dress her Dad had chosen for her, and she did know his choice had never failed her before.
"I'm sure they are." She nodded as her thoughts wandered to the other two girls. "But you're right." Because who else was going to be prepared to leave early and head back to the dorm, getting hot chocolate and marshmallows on the way? Taking Vivian's hand, Felicity twirled her out into the middle of the dance floor amongst a fit of giggles. "I'm glad I've got you," she grinned back. "Do you not have a boyfriend... Or, a boy you're interested in?" So, maybe it was a bit forward, but these were the things you discussed with friends. And if the answer was yes, well Liss would be honoured that her friend had chosen to be with her instead. As for herself, right now she wasn't particularly bothered: of course, it would be nice to have someone call her pretty and like her, but she had her friends for that, and aside from thinking that multiple people were cute, she wasn't sure she actually liked any of them, and what was the point of a boyfriend if you didn't really like them?"
Speaking of, that was when she spotted Skylar and Brent who got a wave, which they might not have noticed amidst her dancing.
More grinning ensued as Madelyn joined them. "Isn't it? I feel almost like royalty." Which was an odd concept for the Wizarding World, of course. As her two friends introduced themselves to each other, she looked between them, willing herself to keep her smile wide and not look awkward. There was no need for it to be, right? Although obviously Skylar was with Brent now, and Madelyn and him had had a ~history~ she was sure that both of her friends wouldn't let something like that cause a rift in friendship. Quote:

The sight of everyone in absolutely gorgeous and formal attires just made things better, in a sense. But honestly, the Slytherin didn't come here to stare at the dudes in suits... nor was she present to stare at the heaven-sent blessing that was Professor Hirsch, either. Her main goal for the night was to have a great time with Liss as her friend!date and to probably make friends. Though, of course, the inevitable thought of not having Andrei around -- as he always was whenever it wasn't summer -- kept dawning on her. It even made their meet-ups more special, which the blonde cherished wholeheartedly.
The fourth year beamed at her friend!date. She didn't want to be all sad that she didn't have Andrei tonight, so she pushed the thought away just for now. "Why, thank you," Vivian said and curtseyed, all princessy like what her outfit was aiming for. She felt like the ice princess tonight. Also, whoever that guy Liss was having a staring contest with, she didn't know. Probably another Ilvermorny lad. Liss used to be from Ilvermorny, yeah? But the blonde totally loved that Liss was in Slytherin. The four of them from their she-snake squad had a tight bond.
Yeah, probably not. "Hope they're having fun," Vivian said. "We will have to be the first ones to respond whenever trouble comes." That was a given, because they always had each other's backs. After all, she was sure they were in it for a great time tonight, regardless of having a date or not.
Dance time? Vivian beamed. "Definitely! Let's go," she said. The middle of the dance floor was theirs. Plus, the song that was playing was too good to not dance to. "It's great having you as a friend!date, y'know?" Because the blonde was comfortable with her, and it didn't even bother her the slightest that they were the only two left from their dorm buddies who didn't have boyfriends. Having one... wasn't necessary, anyway. They were just going to have fun fun fun all night long!
Vivian was dancing along to the beat when she turned to see another unfamiliar face talking to Liss. Oh, wait. This one wasn't that unfamiliar. The blonde could perfectly remember she was Brent's ex-girlfriend from the viewing area during the first round of the competition. Who hugged her dorm mate's boyfriend, to be straight forward. Vivian offered a smile, because now that Skylar and Brent were together, there wasn't supposed to be any more issues with the latter's past relationship. "Vivian," the Slytherin said with a nod. "Nice to meet you. You were the cheerleader, yeah?"
The cheerleader notion stuck to the blonde's memory. Besides being Brent's ex-girlfriend, that was how Vivian remembered Madelyn. Obviously it was better than being called his past lady love, right?
Vivian saw her stunning dorm mate, Skylar, and immediately waved at her with a smile. She, too, gave the brunette a thumbs up because she was with Brent and she looked amazing.
-------------------------------
Oh... wow. Dana was so amazed with the outcome of the social event. She wasn't always one to go to these sorts of things, but she made an exception for the night. She had never been to a formal event on a cruise, of all things! And what was its name again? Merlin's Pride? It sounded just as fancy and elegant as it looked. Still holding onto Sam's hand, the sixth year made her way to the grand ballroom. "It's beautiful here," she said to her date. Her date. Can you believe it?
The number of participants made Dana a little more nervous than when she and Sam met at the grounds before coming here. Not to mention this was her first time wearing such an elegant gown in front of people whom she wasn't even familiar with. However, she can't deny it. The dress Layla had lent her was beautiful, with the intricate details and gems sewed onto the fabric. Tonight, Dana really felt pretty.
She looked at her date and was pretty much amazed too. Sam looked great, no doubt. Dana could already tell she was going to have a splendid night. "Sooooo...." The blonde started, and turned slightly pink. MEEP. "What shall we do first tonight?" No need to rush. They had all night to enjoy the food and facilities offered aboard the Merlin's Pride.
Royalty was a good word for it. She felt like a princess tonight. She thought everyone did look like they were at a Cinderella-like ball, only on a ship. "Who knows maybe someone will find their prince tonight." She wasn't expecting to find hers, but it would be so romantic if one of them found theirs. How adorable would this be if couples formed because of this dance?
Her eyes hit the love birds again and she quickly turned back to Felicity and Vivi, "Oh yes I am a cheerleader." She beamed as the girl recognized her. [b] "I always have so much fun doing it and I get to cheer everyone on!" Watching other's dance she smiled at the two girls. "I'll catch you later, I'm going to go over and grab some food." She figured they wanted to dance and she had to get out of this area with the two love birds here.
