| | The Dance Floor There's a fantastic live band playing all sorts of old and beloved favorites. They're located on the dias that the staff table usually sits, and the entire room is full of loud and boisterous music. The tables have been pushed back to allow for dancing, and everyone is doing their best to keep up with the band.
Grab a partner and get out on the floor. Shoes are optional. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Alex Black First Year | SS Featured Writer Lovely Lady Excelsior took Clifford's arm gently. "Here, come with me, Clifford, I'll take you to where Evangeline is." The two of them started moving together towards the tables.
Suddenly, Excelsior stopped. "There she is, right there by the buffet tables! Hey Evangeline!" Above all, he didn't want her to leave. He was hoping that somehow the two of them would get back together, then at least that part would be right.

"It means I was an Idiot and I'm trying to apologize and I didn't mean to offend you" James said, then he remembered "Oh, I no where she is! She was at the Tables and talking to someone" he said and jumped up. He saw her heading for the Buffet. "But I think she's going to the Buffet now" he said, still on his tippy toes.

| connoisseur of comfort ❅ Crayola's Wibby Mrs Alex Turner ❅ Netflix and meow “The buffet, huh?” Clifford asked, jumping up and down to try and see over the heads of the crazy dancing people. First some table, then the buffet, then the table and now the buffet again!!! He was grateful for the Evangeline-Hunting help, but these two weren’t doing much for his confused head. He was starting to get confused as to where he was himself! “I can’t seeeeee her.” He whined, still jumping. Maybe he should just wait in the Entrance Hall and catch her when she left. But then the whole idea of finding her was to make sure she --- Hmpf. He had to find her!!
“And – Uh, apology accepted, o’ strange Empire Idiot dude.” He shrugged in distraction. He didn’t have time for this now.

YES! James thought. 2 down and 1 more to go. Then he wandered around humming the song that was playing.
James came running back from the Buffet. He found Cliff and ran over panting. "She's at the Buffet. I just saw her." he said, finally breathing.

| connoisseur of comfort ❅ Crayola's Wibby Mrs Alex Turner ❅ Netflix and meow Clifford’s jumping stopped for a moment as he spotted James running back, he appeared out of breath. “The Buffet?” He asked, excitedly. “Mr. Idiot Empire James you are now my Knight in Shining Armour! Thanks a bazillion! Cheers Excelsior.” He thanked his friend with a grin.
Enough messing around now, there were things to do and no time to waste. “Cheerio!” He called, heading quickly in the direction of the buffet before Evangeline could make her next great escape. If she had, at least he’d have the food to keep him company.

"Good luck" James called after Clifford and wandered around humming a tune.

"Alex," she said stopping in mid sway, "I'm like to take a walk, if that's ok, with you I mean." She said. She seemed nervous... why? It was only Alex... Alex raised an eyebrow. "Ok," he responded leading them off the floor, "Is everything allright?"

As Fabian suddenly pulled her closer to him, Angela glanced up, slightly startled at his movement. She found, however, that she did not mind. As they went into a twirl, Angela shook her head upon hearing the question before moving back into Fabian. "Your goat?" She asked with another smile. "Ah, the whole book incident bothered me at first, but I'm okay with it now." She reassured him. "I don't have a problem with Fex. What's done is done. I couldn't not like your goat just because of a lone incident." She replied as she caught Fabian's eye. Macadrian had fought back tears the entire time she marched from her office to the Yule Ball, determined to simply find Fabian to say goodbye. She assumed he would be there with the rest of the staff, though she doubted he would be enjoying himself since she was leaving. They were friends and he would likely be unhappy with her dismissal from the school. As she walked by the dance floor, she spotted a pair dancing out of the corner of her eye. She hadn't thought anything of it initially, but then did a double take to see Fabian dancing with Angela, the librarian. Immediately, a feeling unlike any other washed over her, wrenching her insides and flushing her cheeks. She thought angrily, 'And here I thought he might be just the slightest bit upset that I was being fired! But no! There he is dancing and having a good time.' Macadrian spotted Angela smiling and Fabian pulling her closer and she began to feel sick. She hadn't really thought of Fabian as anything more than a friend, but seeing him dance with Angela made Mac unsettled. Perhaps it was simply because she felt undesireable - the school didn't want her, Fabian didn't seem to value their friendship much - or perhaps it was because she had never even known Fabian and Angela were close, apparently closer than she and him were all along. Either way, Macadrian was unhappy and anger filled her once more. She marched over toward the pair, her tangerine colored dress billowing behind her and her eyes narrowed. She tapped Fabian on the shoulder with more force than necessary and trying to keep her voice low, grumbled, "You know, you at least could have made an attempt to seem disappointed that I was leaving! I show up at my office and I'm locked out, so the Headmistress apparently doesn't think I'm valuable to the school. Then, I come here to say goodbye, thinking you're the only friend I have among the staff, since clearly they were all in on it, and here I find you enjoying yourself, having a dance with a woman you clearly think has more value to you than me! So much for friendship, huh?" Macadrian glared at Fabian as tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to storm off and not bother to listen to his excuse, but she couldn't move from the spot.

She grinned playfully and rested her chin on his shoulder once more as her eyes caught Wednesday -- still standing on the side of the dance floor.
"Amos --?" she asked quietly looking up at him again. "Would you dance with Wednesday? I -- I feel so -- responsible for the pain she's in right now." Ever since Amos and Kate became an item, it tossled her friend in an unpleasant manner. Though she, Kate, knew it wasn't her fault -- she just didn't want anyone to feel left out. Wednesday did value Amos as a friend. "Are you sure? Wouldn't that hurt her more? I'm not that smart when comes to girls but... wouldn't it?" *Truth be told he didn't want to leave her. He also thought that it might hurt Wednesday by do that. She was still so fragile, with the shoes, her father, and now Amos and Kate. But in the end he would do whatever Kate wished of him.*

There were more crucial topics at hand, Fex to begin with.
"Hmm" he mused twirling her again, Angela was either too innocent or too good. Fabian studied her face from whatever light was flashing in their direction every so often. "I rather got a different impression" he finally said, it was not a question, more of a statement. Quote:

The sudden tap on his shoulder made him halt on spot, still holding Angela in their twirling pose. Whoever picked this time to intervene with a dance, was obviously in for a long wait. The words that followed however, made him initially freeze, but then loosen his hold on Angela and eventually releasing her.
"Macadrian!" Fabian croaked, he was more than shocked at her alarming behavior and maybe even more at her words. For one, he never saw her this mad at him which surprisingly irked him for her misjudgment, but that didn't bother him as much as... what was she saying? Dance with someone other than her? that made him smile sheepishly, but he tried to control it by pressing his lips together.
"I would have danced with you if I have seen you" he pointed his index finger at her in defense. With the sudden stroke of light he spotted her teary eyes, whatever rush of emotion spread through his body made his face acidic.
"Macadrian" he whispered, taking a few steps closer to her, "are you crying?". Maybe that came out wrong, but she took him by surprise. "No one is on anything. And I'm probably the reason behind your locked office, no one had anything to do with it", that should calm her down. He was sure about it.

"I rather got a different impression" he finally said, it was not a question, more of a statement. Angela allowed Fabian to move her about, twirling with him once again. Once she had come face to face with him again, she frowned slightly. “And what exactly gave you that impression?” She inquired, uncertain about Fabian's projected confidence that she had a different opinion of his goat.

So much for friendship, huh?" Macadrian glared at Fabian as tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to storm off and not bother to listen to his excuse, but she couldn't move from the spot. Angela was now beginning to really have a good time dancing. It was definitely one of the things that she enjoyed most, aside from reading of course. Her cheerful mood, however, was fouled moments later when Macadrian appeared at their side, addressing Fabian in an angry tone. Startled at the sudden turn of events, Angela stopped her dancing, though remained where she was, listening to the other woman’s words.
Locked out? Goodbye? What was going on here? Was she leaving? Or….had she been fired? Oh dear. That couldn’t be. How could she be fired? It was impossible. Was it some sort of mistake?
Turning her attention back to Macadrian, Angela listened carefully to the woman’s heated speech. The bit of sympathy that Angela felt at that moment vanished in an instant when the last of Macadrian’s words were heard. What was she thinking? “Macadrian…” She said quietly, looking at her colleague with a mixture of uncertainty and disbelief. Where had she come up with that? Why would she think that Fabian thought of her in that manner? Immediately, she drew back from Fabian. “There has to be some kind of mistake here..” Mistaken in both the fact that the woman seemed to be accusing the staff for something and in her assumptions of Fabian. |

Finding her voice, Macadrian responded with forced calmness, "After all I just said to you, why would you choose dancing as the topic of most importance! I'm being fired, and you think my problem is with you not dancing with me?! You can dance with whoever you like - my point was that you'd rather be dancing instead of saying goodbye to me, when you may never see me again but the rest of the staff will be here once I'm gone!" Macadrian then realized how cruel those words sounded, saying she didn't care about dancing with him. It wasn't how she meant it to come out but in her anger, she wasn't thinking clearly. When he spotted the tears welled up in her eyes, Macadrian sighed exasperatedly, letting go of her anger, "Of course, I'm crying. I'm being sacked and I'll never return to Hogwarts again. I may be strong, but that makes me a bit upset. And to think the entire staff..." Macadrian retrieved a tissue from her clutch purse and dabbed her eyes. Just as Macadrian had absorbed some of her tears, she heard Fabian take the blame for her office being locked, and the anger rushed over her again. "You're responsible for me getting fired? I knew you seemed awfully chummy with Agatha and with your history of working at the Ministry, I guess I should have seen this coming! So all term, were you just pretending to be my friend so that it would hurt more when you betrayed me? Well, mission accomplished!" Macadrian turned on her heel and began to storm off the dance floor.

How wrong was he in thinking that would calm her down. "Your being ridiculous Macadrian!" he croaked shaking his head in disbelief. "For someone as intelligent as yourself i would have thought it would take more than locking your door to try and get you fired!" he was starting to lose his temper, maybe the sight of her crying held back whatever was firing through him.
He took a step closer to her and placed both of his hands on her shoulder, "will you try listening to yourself? You sound absurd!" he scowled at the flashing lights for not being able to see her face. "It is my fault for taking a job at the ministry, but in no way should you judge me in that respect or judge my alliance, you do not know me very well in this case Macadrian" he clenched his jaw again, "now can we retrace back for a moment?" he looked down at her a bit hopeful.
"If i have heard or known about you getting fired, i would have worked hard on reversing it. And since i haven't come across anything of this sort, i must say you have no idea what your talking about! Now can you explain to me, what makes you think your fired? this can't revolve around the locked office door?" he dug his hand deep inside his robe pocket and pulled out a rusted goldish skeletal key, "this office door to be specific?"

Macadrian turned on her heel and began to storm off the dance floor. Angela could not get in a word even if she really wanted to. Macadrian was angry, to the extreme it seemed. But to Angela it seemed all a big misunderstanding. There were to be no one fired. Hadn’t she heard what the Headmistress had said? Once more, Angela attempted to cut into the conversation, trying to reassure her colleague that she wasn’t being fired. “Macadrian, please. Won’t you please go speak to the Headmistress about all this? I sincerely doubt that you’re being fired.” She pleaded, not wanting to see the young woman leave. Quote:

Glancing at Fabian as Macadrian’s harsh words were directed at him, Angela bit her bottom lip. This was so wrong. Assumptions were being made, and hurtful words were being exchanged.
It was easy to see that Fabian was becoming frustrated with this entire scenario and Angela could say that she couldn’t blame him. But she could also see that he was trying to remain understanding despite the situation.
Glancing over as Fabian pulled out a key from his robes, Angela looked over at Macadrian hoping that this was the key to her office door, and that they could all calm down and think rationally for a moment. Goodness knows they didn’t need any more outbursts. Others would begin to take notice.
"Perhaps we should take this elsewhere." She suggested in a murmur. |

Now can you explain to me, what makes you think your fired? this can't revolve around the locked office door?" he dug his hand deep inside his robe pocket and pulled out a rusted goldish skeletal key, "this office door to be specific?" Macadrian's eyes nearly popped out of her head as Fabian began yelling back at her, calling her ridiculous and absurd. The nerve of that man! How dare he treat me like a child! Of course, she was acting like one, but still! She was about to give him a few more choice words, but was halted by him grasping her shoulders and attempting to calm her down. Something in his face, in his attempt to not lose his temper, made Mac feel incredibly guilty and incredibly... grateful. Being angry was taking too much energy out of her, so she had no choice but to force herself to calm down; otherwise, she might likely collapse on the dance floor. In response to Fabian's questioning about why she thought she was getting fired, Macadrian drew in a deep breath and let out a long sigh. She met his eyes and was about to begin with her reasoning when she saw a glint of light reflecting off a key in Fabian's hands. She gasped, "How did you get that if I'm not being fired? I don't understand..." Macadrian's mind was whirling now and she wasn't entirely sure what was going on anymore. "None of this makes sense. Believe it or not, me getting fired probably makes more sense. I just assumed... how could I not... angering the Minister... hurtful words..." Macadrian kept rambling, her thoughts falling out of her mouth, but not making much sense. She had zoned out into the inner workings of her mind. Quote:

There were to be no one fired. Hadn’t she heard what the Headmistress had said? Once more, Angela attempted to cut into the conversation, trying to reassure her colleague that she wasn’t being fired. “Macadrian, please. Won’t you please go speak to the Headmistress about all this? I sincerely doubt that you’re being fired.” She pleaded, not wanting to see the young woman leave. Glancing at Fabian as Macadrian’s harsh words were directed at him, Angela bit her bottom lip. This was so wrong. Assumptions were being made, and hurtful words were being exchanged. It was easy to see that Fabian was becoming frustrated with this entire scenario and Angela could say that she couldn’t blame him. But she could also see that he was trying to remain understanding despite the situation. Glancing over as Fabian pulled out a key from his robes, Angela looked over at Macadrian hoping that this was the key to her office door, and that they could all calm down and think rationally for a moment. Goodness knows they didn’t need any more outbursts. Others would begin to take notice. "Perhaps we should take this elsewhere." She suggested in a murmur. Macadrian had forgotten that Angela was standing there until she heard her voice quietly trying to intervene. Coming out of her mental marathon, Macadrian turned to Angela and took her hands into her own. Something in the tone of Angela's voice, her kindness perhaps, calmed Macadrian down further. She gave a small smile to Angela and replied, "Thank you for your encouragement. Perhaps I should have spoken to the Headmistress all along, instead of marching in here like a banshee with heartburn. I just got caught up in my emotions and ran away with them. I am so very sorry to have interrupted your dance and I'm sorry if I offended you in any way."

| Wowza! Willow began dancing with Josh, and for the first time she realized how tall he was. "Yeah, that was not akward at all" she said sarcastically to him, "What happened?" she asked to him. "Oh, you know, the usual. Homework, studying, quidditch, homework, classes, homework.." she said distractedly, "and you?"

Yeah i saw you playing qudditch. Beating us all again." he said then smiling." You did good." he told her as he hadnt seen her before to tell her so." Well.." he said sighing. " She called me a player ." he chuckled just a little.' I know it sounds stupid to get upset over something like that but its just an insult. Guys like that just mess with girls for the sport. I know i havent been the role model boyfriend here but i don appreciate being called a player. " It really hurt him. Even though it didnt sound like it did you could always tell it in his eyes. |

| Wowza! "Thanks..you guys were good..your keeper specially" she said with a hint of anger in her voice, "He just kept saving all the goals, he was really getting on my nerves" she said shaking her head and then giggling. "Well,I think you should talk to her Josh, because by judging her reaction when you ignored her, I would say that she has no idea why you are mad at her" Josh a player?, she could not deny that he may look like one, but as far as she knew he wasn't.
She could tell by the look of his eyes that he was really hurt by that comment, but she didn't pushed the subject.

Josh smiled as he could tell that willow was a bit upset about how good the keeper was. It was funny." I know wasnt it good." he smirked as he chuckled a bit. Josh nodded at her,' yeah i will. " he said then asking," Mind if we talk about something else?" |

| Wowza! "I know.He was good. I was there trying to score some goals for my team, and he just kept saving them all.." Her voice trailed off thinking that itwas pointless to talk about quidditch because they had already won, and the season was over, but she could still remember vividly how she felt when she saw him preventing her to score. "Anyways, yes, Im glad you wanna talk about somethin else" she said remembering her conversation with Kate. "It's about Kate. The other Kate I mean"
