Evangeline laughed and nodded her head at Gwen. “Of course. I forgot the Gryffindors are the brave ones.” She grinned and took a sip from her chocolate malt. “And a good competition is what you can expect.” From what she had seen and heard in the common room there wasn’t a Slytherin who didn’t want to win the House Cup. “That’s good, right?” She said, turning back to Excelsior. “I mean, it the decision isn’t final you can always go back.” Couldn’t he? Well, he’d know. “Nine? I bet she’s excited about coming to Hogwarts.” She grinned, remembering how excited she had been about coming to Hogwarts. |

"I hope he gets here soon. Don't worry, he'll probably be here before you know it," Excelsior told Monica. "Have you met Evangeline yet, by the way? Evangeline was one of the first people I ever met, way back before we were even sorted. And Monica is my sister!", he smiled. There was some good in the world, after all. "I'm sure she's really excited about coming to start school at Hogwarts, who wouldn't be." Excelsior really wanted to know what had happened between Evangeline and Clifford, but he didn't dare. He really wanted to see the two of them get back together, especially before Christmas. |
"Hello Evangeline it's nice to meet you." Monica replied. She turned to her brother. "Bubba, I just have this incredibly good feeling about Christmas! Do you thik Uncle Draco will finally pop the question?" |
Evangeline grinned at Monica as Excelsior introduced them. “Nice to meet you too Monica.” She had been right, Excelsior was making her feel better. At least it was keeping her mind off certain things, and certain someone, and that had to be good. “Of course. I bet every little wizard and witch is thrilled about coming to Hogwarts.” She glanced over at the dancefloor, sipping from her drink and wondering if he would even care if she really was dancing with another boy. She sighed and shook her head, obviously he wouldn’t. And she was supposed to be thinking about him anyway so she just turned to the others. “So, aren’t you guys going to dance?” She asked, brushing the sad thoughts away. |
"You know, I think he just might," Excelsior answered Monica. It was true, things were definitely going well between Uncle Draco and Aunt Ashleigh. It would be wonderful if they got engaged right before Christmas! Excelsior looked around, he knew that Clifford was around there somewhere, and he hoped that he would turn up and ask Evangeline to dance and everything would be okay. It was interesting, though, he was feeling a lot better than he had lately. This was a great group, people he wanted to be better, and everything would be perfect. It was almost perfect. Almost. |
"I would love to dance, if my dear brother asks me." Monica replied. "Other than that, I'll probably just sit here and wait for Wyatt." |
Evangeline had no idea of who Wyatt was, but she just assumed it was Monica’s boyfriend or something. And she really wasn’t that comfortable with her to ask so instead she just turned to Excelsior. “Oooh, so you dance eh?” She smirked playfully. “You know, I might have to drag you to the dancefloor.” She poked her tongue out at him. Merlin, she had missed teasing people. |
"I dance a little," Excelsior said. "I'm really not that good. If you would like to dance, Monica, we can give it a whirl." He reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to dance with you other two ladies, as well." |
Monica extended her hand to her brother. "Come on let's dance!" |
"Right," Excelsior said, dragging his sister to the dance floor. What could be more appropriate to start off the fun than dancing with his sister? |
Evangeline chuckled lightly and watched as Excelsior and Monica disappeared into the crowd. Still chuckling, she picked up her chocolate malt and carried on sipping it. It was almost over, but she was dreading the moment she’d have to go to the buffet table to get more. |

"Hopefully, we get to the finals and win, becuase if we do win the quidditch cup next term, then there is a big possibility that we win the house cup as well!". The only thought of winning the quidditch and the house cup next term made her feel so excited that she took another sip of the super delicious dark liquid. Willow nodded her head about the Hogsmeade trip before answering, "Oh, I'd love to go to Hogsmeade..I haven't been there in while actually" she said thinking that the last visit there have actually make her feel relaxed, of all the homework. "Did you just said Girls Day?" Willow asked in disbelief with a grin on her face, "Oh my God Monaghan if it wasnt because I saw your lips moving when I heard that phrase, I wouldnt have believed that you said it!" Willow said laughing, calling her by her surname. She only called people like that when she was very mad at them, or when she was laughing and feeling very amused "But yeah, like I said, I would love to to Hogsmeade, specially if it is a Girls Day, haha..". She took another sip of the drink she was having, "Do you happen to know what's the name of this awesome dark liquid?" She asked to her friend looking down at her soda. |
Kate shook her head regarding the bookworm label. "On the contrary, I've never felt more connected to anyone right now," she said with a bit of light laughter. "Anyone can see Ravenclaw is in desperate need -- I can't believe we're running last place. After all those people from Slytherin thrown into detention --" she sighed defeatedly and shook her head. "One of our huge hopes is getting to the finals and winning," Kate agreed with Willow. "But no pressure of course," she added with a grin and a wink. Her face turned a rather vibrant shade of red and her lips curled up into funny sort of grimace. Yes indeed -- she did say "Girls Day" and half expected the reaction from Willow. She raised an eyebrow to her friend, and began laughing lightly herself -- "Oh come on it's not that bad," she said in a half-hurt but still laughing tone. "I am glad you'd want to spend some time with me -- Lately I feel like I hang out with the same people --- person --- and my books." She looked at her drink curiously and raised an eyebrow. "To be quite honest I haven't the faintest idea. Where'd you get it from?" |
Evangeline had had enough. She was bored and therefore needed chocolate. Unfortunately, her chocolate malt was over and she had spent the past half an hour trying to bring herself to go to the buffet to get some more. And now she had had enough. She was most definitely not letting him get in her life. Or in her need of chocolate. She excused herself from Gwen and stood up picking up her glass. With a firm nod, which made her ponytail bounce, she made her way into the crowd, having the buffet table as a destination. |
"Haha, that after all, I was sorted into the right house" she said with a light laugh". And I completely agree with you, Ravenclaw is very desperate for points" she said nodding her head. "Oh, it's okay. I'm used to feel pressure" she said simply, "I've feeling a lot of it since I arrive to Hogwarts. Well actually since the summer" Willow said before taking another sip of her drink. "I was only joking Kate" she said after seeing her blushed, "I'm sorry if I embarrased you" Willow smiled at her friend sweetly, before hearing her comment about hanging put with the same person. "If you are talking about a boy, let me tell you that they are odd and complicated" she said nodding, "they just never know what they want, and cause sooo much drama" "From the buffet of course" she said regarding her comment of the drink, "It is full of muggle food. Which if I'm allowed to say, it's quite delicious, specually the burgers" |
Jordan walked over to the tables once more this time with a soda in her hand. She sat down and looked around to see if there was anyone taht she knew, but as always she didn't see anyone right off the bat. She figured that she would keep on looking and maybe someone would show up eventually. |

Kate laughed lightly and waved Willow off regarding the embarassment. "Oh trust me," she said. "I wouldn't have believed I said it if I hadn't -- actually -- said it." Wow she was on a role for being articulate, wasn't she? Her friend was definately tuned into her as she commented about the one person she was aorund was a boy. She realized how much she really wanted to tell Willow. She looked around the tables, turned to look at the dance floor, then looked back to Willow. "How would you feel about taking a walk?" she asked. "Not too far -- maybe just around the the Entrance Hall?" |
Willow scrutinze Kate's face, looking for some kind of emotion in it, when she said she wasnted to take a walk, "sure, I could use to get away from this noise for a while" She took a glance at the dance floor, before following Kate outside the hall. |

Oli was sitting down in a table in the far corner on the hall using a plastic straw to stur the water that was in a glass infront of him. Oli was wearing a bright white suit that his father had sent him for the ball, but little did oli's father know that oli didnt have anyone to going with. Looking around the room oli saw all the couple dancing together and it only made is mood worse |
Gwen watched Monica and Excelsior dance, smiling. He was a good dancer too.... |
Emily wandered across to the tables, shivering from being outside. She glanced around at the other students and spotted a boy sporting a rather fetching white suit. Her eyes moved up to his face, and to her surprise, it was ‘Oliver - gah! “Oh Merlin’s great big pants!” She hadn’t seen Oli for weeks. Should she talk to him? Last time she tried to make amends he blanked her totally and walked away. She wasn’t sure if she could take that again from him. She made a spur of the moment decision and wandered over to the boy. He had been a good friend to her, most of the time, after all. “Er.. Hi..er.. Oliver. Long time no see. H-how are you?”, she stuttered and tried to smile, nervous of how the boy would react to her presence. |

"Oh thats so rockinngg..." Sarah said excitedly. "I mean... I knew we Gryffindors rock," Sarah teased Excelsior, smirking. "Yeah I seriously am hungryy..." "Ofcourse we are proud..What say Monica.." Sarah nodded at Monica grinning. |
