And so when he heard a low voice, the head boy jumped slightly in surprise as he turned to see who it was. Figures; it was the snarky girl from the library bookshelves. "Sshh!" He warned, giving her a look that told her he wasn't ready to be revealed yet. Almost out of instinct, his golden eyes flickered down to her feet and grimaced in satisfaction when her shoes were black. Now the heel part, that was another story all together.
Huh? The groundskeeper must have noticed him. Curse the ravenclaw girl for having to speak to him when he was CLEARLY trying to not be seen.
What was this? Decorating the great hall? Well that actually didn't seem too bad; this was his last year at Hogwarts, so surely something like this would be good to do. Worthwhile, in the least. Noticing Cel-an-dine partner with Raiden and a slytherin girl, Dominic looked back at the snarky Ravenclaw girl.
"I didn't want to just jump into the conversation without knowing the topic first," Dominic finally answered he question. "Because unlike some people, I prefer to see if I have anything to say before just babbling random nonsense. Now, are you in?" He arched a brow, as his way of asking if she was willing to partake in the levitating of trees to the Great Hall. "Or are your heels too high for such labor?" Adrienne hid a grin as the high-and-mighty head boy actually jumped at her voice. Even if it was just general surprise, it still amused her that she could startle him in any way. And that just soprt of lent itself to annoying him, too. As he shh-ed her, she rolled her eyes, but deigned to stay quiet. Except for the muffled giggle that she fought to hold back as he saw her shoes. And a point for me, she thought, before Mr. Masterson had spoken and acknowledged their presence. Obviously, Dominic was going to think she was to blame, even though she thought he was incredibly dense if he thought people wouldn't've noticed him.
A genuine smile crept onto her face as she heard they were being conscripted into helping decorate the castle for Christmas, though. She loved the holidays, and this would just help her get in the mood. It almost even made her forget about her mission to irritate Dominic, but then he felt the need to speak again and break her concentration. Raising an eyebrow at his insinuation, she spoke in a low voice. "Who said anything about jumping into conversations blindly? Just because I happened to point out you were hiding didn't mean I was jumping into their conversation. And I highly doubt anyone would call the whole thing random nonsense, either," she pointed out, before giving him an imperious look. "Of course I'm in. Just because you feel the need to be rude doesn't mean I won't help them. And I can do a lot more in these heels than you could ever imagine." It wasn't like she was wearing stilettos or anything, and even if she was, she could still levitate trees. Quote:

"Oh? Yeah, I'll... work with Kiri and... Cela, Dominic Denton were you... following me just now?" The sentences kinda ran together as he looked from the Head Boy to the girl who had outed his presence.
Kinda... creepy. Quote:

Of course there were other things and if you asked Cela, she'd probably tell you that everything was her thing.
Except maybe Astronomy.
"So ready!" Celandine agreed cheerfully, whipping her wand out and STILL not realising, even with the discussion going on, that the trees were going to be CUT DOWN.
She gave Raiden a look and laughed. "Why would Dom-in-ick follow you?" Or anyone really? Willow wasn't here after all.
Celandine tossed a bright smile at the head boy and gave Raiden a nudge.
"You ready?" And she had to stifle another giggle as Dominic was called out on his lurking, by one of the Slytherins, and then Cela joined into the discussion momentarily. Why would he indeed. Her little attempt at annoying the (marginally) older Hufflepuff was just becoming more successful by the minute. Sending a smile at the other two, she glanced back at Dominic as if she was about to ask if he was actually going to join in, before she turned back as Plymouth felt the need to protest cutting the trees down, then started handing out shovels. "If we were going to levitate the trees to the Great Hall, why couldn't we just use a spell to dig them up too?," she asked rhetorically, as Cela and others started digging. It wasn't that she wouldn't dig, if it was necessary, but she simply didn't know why they had to in the first place. And as a Ravie, she felt the need to ask.
