"I thought I did but now I'm not sure." For the past four months Marie had thought of nothing more than being back together with Carter, now she wasn't so sure that's what she wanted. A girl can only take so much rejection and Carter had rejected her lots over the months, including earlier today when he once again made an excuse to get away from her.

"Why? Because she's your girlfriend that's why. If you go through with telling her what happened here today the only way you may be able to prove to her that it will never happen again is by agreeing to stay away from me." Why would Evan even question who he should choose if he had to. If he really liked Mina as much as she thought he did then he should know that she should be the one he needs to make happy, not Marie.

Oh, Merlin, Marie still wasn't sure! How could someone be so blind?! Jerk-ter were obiously the last person she should want right now, and still she was 'thinking' it. It took all of Evan's will not to open his mouth to give her a lecture. He couldn't understand her, and from now on was determined to stay away from her relationships in general, and especially her relationship with Jerk-ter.

He thought what she said over, and but still wasn't convinced. "Actually, I think it'd be more effective if she realised my friendship with you would include no more kisses." Yeah, she would surely be waiting at the edge, but she'd be more convinced. And still, he didn't think she'd demand such a thing. Well, at least he hoped so.

Getting up, feeling still pretty confused, he said "Shall we go back to common room and pretend nothing happened?" He wasn't sure if she heard that last part, but he definitely expected her full cooperation with keeping this secret. He wanted to be the one to tell Mina, naturally, if such a thing should be told.

Marie could tell by the look on Evan's face that he didn't approve of what she had said. Right, she should have known better than to talk to him about Carter. The only person she had ever been able to talk to about her and Carter was Patroclus. He was the only one that would listen to her and not judge her at all. This is why she kept to herself and didn't tell anyone anything about her life.

And he still wasn't going to agree to choose Mina over her. Silly boy. "Well don't say I didn't warn you if she gets angry with you." If he wanted his relationship with Mina to last he would have to learn how to compromise somse things. Oh well, he will learn sooner or later .

Marie was not ready to go back to the common room right now. She still didn't want to be around a bunch of people. "I think I better go find Destiny and have a talk with her now. See if I can find out if she really did see anything or not." she said as she too got up. "Maybe I'll see you in the common room later." she said as she walked towards the door. Or maybe she would make it easy on him and stay away from him. That way he wouldn't have to choose between her and his girlfriend.

Evan gave her a look. He knew that Mina would be pleased if he gave up on Marie, but he wasn't just going to agree, and Marie should appreciate that. Waving his hand impatiently, he simply said "I just care about you, and don't want to lose you too." If he didn't speak well, he knew he could lose Mina... although, of course, he could keep it as a secret. Ugh... he'd think about it later.

Nodding that it was a good idea to find Destiny, he escorted her to the door. "See you in the common room, then," he said as he waved and left the crime scene the classroom 11 to go to his safe common room.

Amy sat down in the classroom, it was the only place you could get a smidgen of signal, and it was rubbish, she took out a scrap of paper and began to scribble

Sammy walked into the old classroom. She'd never been here before so it was kinda new to her. PIZZA BUDDEH! she thought before running over to Amy. "YO!" and cue hug here. "whatcha doin'?" she asked ... Sammy wasn't hyper at all ... noooo, Sammy hadn't had pasta :shifty:

Paaaasssttttaaa heeaddd she gwiggled (cross between a griin and a giggle for those out fo the know) notthinnggg she laughed, just writing a letter, whyy are you here?? she asked, putting her letter away

Sammy grinned, she had the best nickname. "Oo who ya writing to?" she asked ... heh heh heh "because I've never been in here before and just felt like dropping in" she said cheerfully.

Amy giggled, only you she shook her head, oh just Sheridan she said nodding, you know the new girl next term, she was sure Sammy knew but she should make sure.

Sammy grinned widely. She wasn't normal, she was plain old crazy and proud of it. "ooooohhhh yeeeeaaaah" she said, not mentioning that she was the girl replacing her PIZZA BUDDEH! "you know what house she's gonna be in?" she asked, and in her head chanting PUFF PUFF PUFF PUFF PUFF

Ummm, nope, but probably the best, genius, amazing house-Hufflepuff she giggled, yeah probably a Puff, she's not mean, she's not too smart. She's brave though....Amy thought, nah Puff probably, she's like friendly and loyal, and thats what we puffs are. Innit, she giggled, going into her 'baddman' phase, she loved that word

Oh how it was tempting to start shouting "We are the Champions" at the top of her lungs but, Huffies barely ever won the cup. "YAY! There really isn't that many of us awesome puffs" she said admittedly, compared to Slytherin anyway, Slytherin had TONS of people. "us puffs are just purely awesome" (and particularly good finders) she said happily

We really are. And we're good at quiditch, she grinned, they had won the cup last year, it had been a good party, but no quiditch this year, have you been watching the tournament? She asked, she'd dived in and out of the tournament, it had been interesting, but she'd wanted to get up to date on her work before she finished

"indeedy, we are just too cool" Sammy said with a giggle... oh yeah, she had passed out at the celebration party last year ... that wasn't fun, anyway. "um, not really, watched part of the first task but I must of zoned out or something, cause I dunno what happened" she explained "and I don't even know what the second task is. You been watching it?"

Sort of, from a distance, I keep on meaning to watch a whole task and create a banner but I ALWAYS forget she giggled, but I'm deffinatley watching the final task, can't miss that one she nodded

"I don't think anyone has watched the whole of the first two tasks. " Sammy said admittedly. "same-o, wonder what it'll be" she wondered aloud, nodding her head when she said same-o

No some people have Amy said nodding, it's always packed around the pitch and stuff cuz thats where they have the tournament, Amy thought, probably the most dangerous she laughed, well even more dangerous than the last two, put it that way

"really?" Sammy said, they had no life if they managed to watch the whole of the first two tasks. "well that was expected, save the best - more like worst - for last" she said, before thinking ...if they have weeping angels, THEY'LL ALL DIE! AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE WOULD DIE!

OOC: the weeping angels, creepy with DT, not as scary with MS :)

Yeah, like the beuxbaxtons and Durmstragians have to watch it when they're off timetable she nodded, and then like the major fans HAVE to watch it, she giggled, but yeah, I mean it has to go off with a bang doesn't it, I mean it won't be on for years and years so it has to be good she nodded

ooc: so I've heard, I'm gonna watch it tomorrow

"oooooooooooohhhhh, this just proves that I am really out of the loop" Sammy said with a small smile. "definitely, it can't be boring it's gotta go with a BOOM! and hopefully a BOOM! doesn't involve too many injuries" she added, nodding

Amy giggled you really are she shook her head definatley BOOM! she shouted excitedly, Booom! Boom! a big boom, but no people dead preferably she said, dancing around the desk she had been sitting at earlier

"now that would be horrible" Sammy said, NO DEAD PEOPLE! "but a BOOM!" she said loudly before running around in circles "BOOM BOOM BOOM!"

BOOOM! Amy giggled chasing Sammy around the table, but that's what happened in Harry Potter's time, it was the most contrevesal tournament ever she nodded, she'd done the homework set about the tournament

Harry Potter? OH FAMOUS HARRY POTTER! problems with being raised by muggles Sammy thought "yeah and in Harry Potter's time, it was the first time there was more than 3 champions" she continued, still running ... her and Amy seemed to do a lot of running/rolling.

True Amy giggled, running on, Amy and Sammy-the bouncy Puffs, they were always moving around and being random, thats what they were, the eating bouncing Puffs

Sammy laughed ... for no apparent reason just because she is cool. "how on earth am I going to get away with acting like this once you're gone?" she said with a slight giggle. Seriously, Amy and Sammy were two crazy Puffs, probably the only ones that could get away with running in circles around a table for no reason.

Sheridan is even more mad then me Amy nodded, she could be scary crazy sometimes, and she LOVES pizza she giggled, she slowed down, stich coming on

"that's impossible" Sammy said laughing. "it's also impossible for her to LOVE pizza more than you" she finished, still laugh. Then stopping and clutching her side "CRAMP!" she said loudly. "ouchie ouchie ouch" she said before sitting on the floor and trying to stretch it out

Oh she really does, but you shouldn't laugh when you run Amy giggled sitting down next to her, breathe deeply and slowly she advised, showing her what she meant

ooc: him?

Sammy took Amy's advice and breathed slowly and deeply. AND CRAMP GONE! "all better now" she said stretching her arms up above her head. "and I think I've learnt my lesson with laughing and running. Not a good combination" she said with a slight laugh

OOC: my bad, my keyboard isn't too good :(

Yes, yes you have, she laughed, run or laugh, one of the other she nodded, she leaned against the desk, I'm seriously gonna miss you she murmered, looking at her finger nails

"never doing both at the same time again. I hate getting cramps" Sammy muttered. "aw sweetie, I'm gonna miss you too, seriously how can I not miss someone who puts up with me when I'm shouting a chant about taking the hobbits to Isengurd" she said in a comforting tone, remembering the start of the school year, when they had first gone to the dorms.

Hobbits, it's normal for me now, *giggle* she laughed, she remembered bawling out Teenage Dreams and bouncing on their beds it was so funny and the pizza chats were pure class

"Hobbits are awesome" Sammy said nodding her head. They're taking the Hobbits to Isengurd, OH NO DON'T GET STUCK IN MY HEAD AGAIN! "now that was a fun day" she said smiling widely. And the random firstie had come in as well, for no reason ... I don't think we ever talked to that firstie again ... whoopsie

It was, and then that first year came in if I remember rightly, Amy laughed, she hadn't seen said firstie around the school since, she's vamoshed, I never see her around now she said

Sammy giggled "yeah you were half asleep when she came in" she said through giggles "bit weird really, she went poof" (saying "poof" in a Slughorn way xD ) she said happily

Oh yeaaahhh Amy nodded, giggiling, she had been trying to get 50 winks,

50 winks, what an odd phrase.......

Poof! Amy laughed, bit of a weird thing to say, mind she is a firstie and there all weird in their different ways she nodded, see Katie is boy crazy and we were just crazy and....she thought hard, trying to remember any firsties. Nope all gone. Poof!

Sammy grinned. "everyone's weird. If we weren't weird we'd just be very bland and boring." she said. Because this was another of Sammy's theories, No one is normal because if only one type of person was classified normal, then they would be the one normal person on the earth because no one is the same. "I swear all the firsties have disappeared off the face of the planet. Poof"

I don't see them out of lessons but in lessons they are ALWAYS there answering the questions, which would explain why you havn't seen them, bunking eh? she said in a jokingly serious tone, tapping her lightly on the nose

"there all a bunch of little nerds, and the teachers give them more of a chance because their firsties, BUT THEY ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING!" Sammy exclaimed ... bloody CoMC teacher, don't like her. Anyway. "but I've never seen them in the library, so how do they know so much."

Because they were looking at their books before the term, are you telling me you didn't do that? She asked doubtfully, she had, but it had all been gone before the term had actually started, her brain was sooo bad though so no surprises there *giggle*

"actually I didn't do that" Sammy said amused. Because Sammy read fantasy books, not text books. "I'm probably one of the only people that didn't do that" she continued.

I think that may be true Amy nodded, but will you read anything when you actually get to OWLs though? Amy asked doutfully, she knew Sheridan would, but Sammy, perhaps now

Sammy raised an eyebrow at Amy. When she wasn't talking to someone, she was reading. "of course I'll read for my OWL's" she said, no longer raising her eyebrow. "I'm not that lazy"

Sureee you will Amy grinned nodding in a knowing way, I'll make Sheri make you revise she threatened, grinning at the same time so the threat didn't really carry, she was rubbish at threats

Sammy pouted. "I will" she protested. WHY YOU NO BELIEVE SAMMY?! "if I fail my OWLs I will be killed!" she said, obviously not meaning the bit about being killed, just using it as an expression.

Apollo had been chatting up a bunch of girls in the abandoned old classroom, when he noticed another guy walk in.

The boy mysteriously sat alone in the darkest corner of the room. Interesting, wonder who he is. He turned to the ladies and told them he would be back in a few minutes. Not wanting the other dude to think he was trying to get into his mysterious dark place, he sat about 5 feet away in a sun lit chair adjacent to the other boy.

"Hello." He said quietly as he pulled his shades over his deep brown eyes.

Uh, that was random. Mister Too Cool for School made his way over there.

Rhydin turned his head and debated on whether to answer this kid or not. He was sitting with his back against the wall and one leg up with an arm resting on it. He probably looked like he was too cool as well. Oh well.

"Hello," he replied. Sunglasses, inside? "What's with the shades dude?"

The shades? Hmm. Good question. Apollo had sported them all term and wasnt exactly sure why. But now...they were kinda his signature look. He liked them.

Shrugging he replied, "Just a thing. Whats with the dark corner, dude?"

He really was curious. This guy seemed to be pretty cool, but why so isolated? People watcher, maybe? Apollo liked to do that too. It was a fun way to learn about stupid things people did to get attention and what not.

He blinked a few times. So, it was kind of something just did, just because.

"Just a thing," he repeated to the guy's question. "I tend to keep to myself."

Small talk is overrated. Stupid, as well. But it had to happen every now and then he supposed. Not that most small talk ever went anywhere, hence why it was small. He raised an arm up to hold onto the arm already resting on his leg, and sighed slightly.

"People watching, basically. I stay aside and let people do their own thing and come to me." Just like what this kid did. It works. "I'm Rhydin. You?"

People watching. Apollo knew that tactic well. It was for sure fun in the right environment, and seeing that there were a ton of girls in here....it was the right environment. "True. Thats how I tend to work as well. Your tactics work well." He grinned and turned to look at Rhydin. "Nice to meet you. I'm Apollo."

He tapped the heel of his boot against the toe of his other, watching as the dried mud chipped off and landed on the floor with a soft crackling noise.

He was a grinner. Oh great. Rhydin definitely wasn't one of those. At all. Nope, nothing like that. He couldn't really decide on what he was. More of a half smile, or smirker. Yeah, that could work for now.

"I know they do," he said. "Which is why I continue to use them. Nice to meet you as well Apollo." Huh. Someone else with an interesting name. Apollo... something about that sounded familiar. Like, a hundred or so years ago and something with America and space.

OH GAWD. His nerdism was starting. No no no. Not yet, he just met this kid. Fighting the blank stare, he turned to look at the girls.

"Younger ones, right?" he said. "I can tell by the way they talk. They're freaking out easily."

Apollo gave him a polite nod and a grin. He noticed a huge spot on his sunglasses, and pulled them off. He inspected the spot, and decided that it was just some dust. Probably ancient dust that had been floating around since before the Harry Potter era. He gingerly rubbed them clean with his tie. They were antique Ray Bans after all. He couldnt break them. They were irreplaceable.

Mmm yeah. Those girls were about the same age as his little sister which made him cringe. "Yeah second years I believe...I was just sitting here reading when they came in chattering away." He shrugged, and placed his freshly clean sunglasses back on his face.

"What year are you?" He asked seemingly uninterested and indifferent.

Adam looked around- the perfect spot for a meeting. Many desks were side to side, Adam took a seat in one of them and waited for Sapph to make her girly entrance as usual. He tapped the desk and then began to search around.

Sapphinelle skipped down the corridor, holding a book to see which classroom was classroom eleven. She didn't know why Adam wanted to meet her there, but she would never say no to an adventure! She showed up in one of her favorite winter outfits and saw Adam sitting in one of the desk seats.

"Hi!" she said in a sing-songy voice, lighting up the room as she made her way inside.

LAME POST from me
 

Adam waved to her and told her to take a seat next to him. "What's up?"

That's ok, you can make up for it. Lmao :D
 

She gave him a warm smile and slipped into the seat next to his.
"Nooothing. So how are you and Katie?" she asked with a confused look on his face. And Kurumi? And Fee? And every-other-girl-he's-involved-with?
She hadn't seen Adam in a little while, so naturally she was concerned about the latest news, drama, gossip, etc.

"We're trying to be friends, but she's ignoring me as usual-but who cares about that...What about you?How are you doing- I haven't seen you in ages.."Adam said putting one arm around her neck.

She gave out a little laugh- that was so like Katie.
She liked how she was the center of attention right now, and turned to look at him. She gave him a smile. "I guess I'm ok. My mom's not doing so well, though." she said with a sigh, and paused for a moment, remembering what she had always wanted to ask him. "What blood are you, by the way?"

"She'll get better trust me...I'm Muggle- why does it matter what blood I am- and maybe cold blooded too..."He teased himself- the way he had been acting lately he could be cold blooded.

"How are you sure?" she asked with her voice breaking. She worried for her mom deeply, even thinking about her struck a heart string.

She laughed at that. "Why? I mean, I know how you feel since the break-up...it happens." she said with a shrug and reassured him. "I'm Muggle-born, too." she said happily, glad to see that they had more in common.

"What my first break up with Katie- what about that?"He asked a bit defenseively. "You just gotta hope your mom gets better and dream that she will have her life soon again..I didn't know you were muggleborn..."he said excitedly, his voice squeaking.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't know..." she said, looking a little hurt, then shook it off. "Thanks." she said caringly, and gave him a mini-hug. Hehe.
"I didn't know that you were Muggleborn." she said happily, her eyes flashing at his.

"Well I am. Is there something wrong with it, because I can leave right now if you want me to- do you have something more to tell or ask me?"he said, getting half way up so that his butt was in the air a little :D

She gave him a hurt look.
"There's nothing wrong with it! I was just checking to see if you were okay, I'm a Hufflepuff...remember?" she said and added one of her trademark you love me, right? Sapphinelle smiles.

"Don't give me your begging smile- you're just like Addy-wishing everything could be fixed by the fakest of a smile...No wonder you guys are such good friends..."Adam said angrily.

She felt like she was about to cry. Why was Adam being like this?
"Actually, I'm not so fond of her." she said while biting her lip. She was absolutely disgusted with Addy right now.

"I talked to her the other day...."He said sitting back down. "She told me she calls you Samonella now...What's going on with you guys- you're always fighting with each other..."He askek concerned. Girls always got themselves in drama over the silliest things.

"Oh, God." she said, rolling her eyes at the stupidity of Adeline Ann Morey.
"She's just really changed lately, and she's just.." she let out a sigh and looked at Adam, happy to see that he calmed down. "Do you kinda see what I'm saying?" she asked with an unsure face.

"She's not herself, she's a different person?"He guessed madly. Here she went again.

"Yeah. Sorry for my complaints. What about you? How's Kurumi?" she asked with interest, excited to hear the most recent Kuradam news.

"We're not the BEST of friends right now- I've been acting kinda weird lately, and I'm lashing out at her..."He looked down. Never had he ever expected himself to make Kurumi cry because he had hurt her feelings. No one was being his friend right now, he just needed a shoulder, but no one likes a baby cry, right? "

"That's ok, have you apologized to her or anything? Well Kurumi is really understandable. I could never see her getting mad at anyone, especially you." she said, giving him a kind smile, while getting up to give him a hug.

"I've told Addy I'm sorry...And Kurumi is a one of a kind."He said smiling and hugging her.

"Yeah, she is." she replied happily and gave him a warm hug back. She loved Adam's hugs, hehe. "I just realized.. I need a nickname!" she said with a little laugh. Nobody has every given her one... except for her mom, who called her Bonbon.

"Sappysyrup..."Adam suggested with a laugh.

"Oh wow." she said with a fake eye roll.
"I'm not Canadian!" she said laughing.
She turned and walked around the classroom, inspecting little things here and there.
"Why do you think it's empty in here? They never mention this classroom in Hogwarts, A History." she asked, looking confused while she paced around the empty classroom.

Adam looked around, and sighed. He didn't know why he had acted so weird to Kurumi and Ever in the kitchens a few days ago.He hoped he could fix his problems with Ever and apologiese to her. He took a seat and began writing on a piece of parchment.

Ever Lily Youngblood
I am sorry for acting so weird to you the other day in the Kitchen - I've never had to deal with my Kurumi and my crush at the same time and something got to me that day...I never meant to cause any trouble for you, I am sorry

Adam Burn.

He'd give that letter to her.

Adam stood up and walked over to her. Getting his wand out also. "Saw a monster or something...Ever- good thing you saw me- I needed to give you this..."Adam said passing her the note.

Adam smiled back when she randomly smiled at him. "It's all because of Walnut and Cloudy- those two are like Ex Best Friends...Haha, those rascals- so are you fine, with school and stuff? Got anything to do for Valentines day?"Adam had no clue where he was going with this but it would be less awkward than silence.

"Maybe we should just hang out that day...You know- so you won't be bored...STUDYING? The exam is like 5 months away, why are you studying...I'll do that the week before my exams- cram everything into my head..."He laughed at himself.

Vienna had been wandering round the school exploring when she came across a room a classroom she hadn't been in before stepping inside she noticed it was empty. Deciding the solitude was refreshing she got out her books to do her homework

For Ze Frenchie~
 

Feeling herself grow weary from studying, Cosette felt the need to get out of the stuffy dorm and get out. She had been working hard on her homework, trying to find the most suitable costume for the costume ball and.. replying to her brothers letters. She wasn't particularly thrilled he had gotten himself a girlfriend. It was nice and all for him, of course. She just didn't want to deal with some random girl in her house during the Summer. Biting her scowling lower lip, she rounded the corner in the corridor.

Getting out from the thoughts swirling in her head, she opened the random door nearest to her and closed it. Pressing her back against the door, she let out a loud sigh. "Zis iz rediculouz, Cozzette." She muttered to herself. She shouldn't get so worked up. She still had exams and.. Noel. Feeling a flutter in her chest, she shook her curled blond mane. She had left him a note in the boys dorm, telling him to meet her here. They had to get some dance lessons before the ball! Plus, she just wanted to spend some more alone time with him before school ended. Even though they would most likely spend time in the summer, she just liked to walk around the school with him.

Smiling, she pushed herself off the door and walked over to where she had set up an old phonograph. She ran her fingers over a few of the classical records she had brought and took one out of the sleeves. Running it in her hands, she placed it onto the dock and cranked the machine up. Now.. to wait. She placed the needle onto the record and swiveled the head and felt the loud blast of classical music hit her ears. "Woah." She chuckled, turning it down a notch.

After fixing it, she turned around and placed her hands on her hips. "Now.. ze desks." Smiling, she reached into her combat boots and took out her wand. Levitating the desks to the sides so they could have room to dance, she smiled when she finished with the task. Placing her wand back in her boot, she ran her hands down her sequined skirt. Hopefully he would show up.

Having just gotten back from his walk on the grounds, he was rather excited when he found the note there for him on the side stand next to his bed. From Cosette of course, with the place where they were supposedly meeting. Hurrying with a quick shower and change of clothes, he stood in front of the mirror and adjusted his shirt before shaking his head at himself. It was fine. Just dancing...lessons. From Cosette.

Smiling, Noel grabbed the note and hurried down to at least the third floor before slowing down. So many stairs, what was up with that? Two levels was still big enough. As he got near to where he was supposed to meet her, he began to feel as if he were getting lost. Again. It wouldn't have been the first time that has happened in this castle, even if he had almost been here for a year. His thoughts had been preoccupied, and he had not time for exploring.

Just about giving up as well, the young French man ran his hands through his hair, stopped in the middle of some corridor that may have been on the first floor, or ground, he didn't know and...glancing both ways. He was sure he was in the right place. Right? Hearing a sudden blast of music, his head turned towards a door. Music? Coincidence? Perhaps. Investigation was in order. Slowly opening the door, he peaked in his head to see what was up, seriously hoping that some class wasn't in session at the moment before his eyes laid upon a rather lovely sight. Silently shutting the door behind him, Noel stuffed the note in the pocket of his jeans and took off his jacket, revealing his white rather boring white t-shirt. What? It was clean! "Ready to have your toez stepped on?"

Not literally of course.

Hearing a familiar voice from the entrance of the classroom, Cosette turned around and smiled at Noel, happy to see he found his way here. With both of them coming here to the school this year, they both had gotten a bit lost around the castle a few times. Luckily they had it down now. She thought. Smiling bright, she walked over and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. She was still glad he had gotten out of the tournament alive. She didn't even care if he won or not. "Bonjour, mon cher." She whispered, pulling herself from the embrace.

Chuckling at his comment, she reached her hand out and pointed over at the open area upon where they would be dancing, the soft hum of the music in the background. "I don't zink you can, monsiuer. I am a very good danzer." She could probably dance around the little miss ups. She smiled, putting a hand on the side of his face. She was a bit sad to see the year coming to an end. "Do you know what you are going to be for ze ball?" She had already picked out her character and her costume was just owled over by her father earlier in the morning. She was definitely pleased with it.

Wrapping his arms around her and holding her close, he happily smiled as he tossed his jacket to the side of the room. It felt like forever since the last he saw her! Which, was not that long ago actually. "Bonjour." He whispered back, glancing over to the open area. Well, wasn’t this a cozy dancing place! Definitely enough room to dance in.

"I'll try to make it eazier for you." He chuckled, moving further into the room. The music was rather nice. It definitely got him in the dancing mood, but also the tired mood as well. Strange what classical music did to someone. Quick! Do something to wake himself back up!

Smiling a closed smile, he turned back around, moving back over to Cosette. "Ze ball?" he asked, contemplating this. "Hmm, I don’t know." Sliding one hand around her waist, he took her hand in his and twirled them both around before dipping her slightly, staring into her gray eyes. Umm what? He was supposed to be a bad dancer. Hehe, oops! "What are you going az?"

Oh how she has missed his touch. Cosette smiled when he wrapped his arms around her, making her almost want to swoon and just curl up in those arms! Clearing her voice, she smiled and walked over towards the open space, seeing his jacket fly off onto one of the moved desks in the corner. Well he was making himself comfortable! Looking down at her outfit, she placed her hands on her skirt and muttered a spell. Seconds later, her skirt turned from a short sequin skirt to a long and flowy black cotton one. Hey, she wanted something that she could twirl around in.

Chuckling, she looked at him with a smile. "Oh really now?" She mused, a sly smirk forming on her face. But moments later, he was spinning her and dipping her, causing her to let out a yelp! Wasn't he supposed to be a bad dancer? Low in the dip, her leg was in the air due to habit. Giggling, she snaked a hand around his neck to steady her. "I zaught you were a bad danzer?" She smiled, an eyebrow quirking up at her question. Was he lying just so he could dance with her alone?

Biting her lip, she wondered if she should tell him. Looking up into his blue eyes though, she realized she couldn't say no. Drat. "I am being Anne Boleyn, ze zecond wife of King 'Enry ze eigth." She smiled, knowing that her and the dead queen had quite a lot in common. "My pere zent me ze drezz zis morning. It's a bright green renaissanze drezz. Fit for a queen." Smiling, she slyly bent her head up and gave him a soft kiss on his lips. Smirking at her distraction, she maneuvered her way out of his dip and grasp before her skirt twirled around her as she stood now before him. "You 'ave to get a better 'old on me, amour. You don't want me to fall on ze danze floor, oui?" Especially in front of everyone.

Moving his hand more around the small of her back so she wouldn’t fall, he kept her up easily, though tried not to have a death grip. He really didn’t want he to drop, though he was confident that he wouldn’t. He would NEVER let her. "What are you talking about? I am a bad danzer." Noel just had his really good moments which were ninety percent of the time. Hehe.

Anne Boleyn? Wife of a King. Well, now he knew what he was going to be for the costume Ball. Or at least, in general what he should be. Pulling her a little closer, he tried to imagine what the dress would look like. A bright green renaissance dress. "Zen it zuits you perfectly." He muttered, the soft kiss quieting his words. What? Non, that was too short! Wait…Standing up in surprise as she was now in front of him and not his arms, a smile started to appear instead of the surprised expression as he stared at her. "I won't let you fall. Promize."

Taking a step forward, he wrapped his hands around her waist, before leaning down and placing a kiss on her lips. "Zough...we should practice to make zure I won't." Oui? Well he thought so.

Oh he was good, almost to good. Had he just lied so he could get some extra time with her before the ball? Cosette had to hand it to him, it was a card she had played before. Being pulled against him again, she placed a slender and arched hand on his shoulder, her eyebrow peaked up once more. "Well zen, I am glad to be in zuch capable 'andz." Her smirk spread wide as she pointed out at his sly trick. She should have seen it coming.

Oh, now he was kissing her! Smiling against his lips, she almost felt like the first time they had kissed. Well, not so much surprised, but the feelings. She could almost feel the butterflies all over again. When he pulled away to speak, she tilted her head to the side and pressed a kiss to his warm and smooth neck. Maybe that would boil his blood. "A wife of a King zuits me?" She inquired, leaning back up to look up at him. Damn she wished she was the same height as him. "I 'ope you will be my King for ze ball then." He hadn't asked her to the ball, let alone to possibly be - dare she say it - boyfriend and girlfriend. Realizing she might as well just take the reigns, she said it.

Moving her hips where he placed his hands, she gave him a wink before pointing her finger at the phonograph, raising the volume just a tad while changing the song to a more up-beat tempo. They didn't need to be falling asleep on the dance floor! "I bet you zay that to all ze girlz." She teased, placing a hand on his and bringing it up for the Waltz position.

It looked like she was catching on to him. Whether that was good or not, he didn’t know, nor did he care. It didn’t look like she was leaving either, and that’s all that mattered.

That…that felt really nice. Feeling his head heat up, starting from the spot on his neck where she had kissed him, he gulped deeply before clearing his throat quietly. Focusing would be rather good. It did look like a classroom in here, so who knows if and when a Professor would walk in. "Oui, only ze best." For her of course. Smiling down at her, he ran a finger on the top of her forehead before tracing his finger to the side of her head, brushing a few strands of hair behind her ear. Him? Be her King for the ball? Was she…asking him to be her date?

"If zat iz what you want." He murmured, the smile continuing to play on his face. He had been planning to ask her, but he wasn’t sure if she did just now or not. Time to find out? "Only if you’d be my Queen of courze." Not exactly in question form, but it was general enough to know. Oui?

With the sudden music change, he blinked a few times, remembering that they were in a classroom and were supposed to be dancing. Right. Chuckling, he held her hand gently yet firmly in his, making sure to keep up his posture and such. "Only ze ones who's names are Cosette."

It was out of her character to leave someone who meant so much to her. Smiling, Cosette shook her head in a playful manner, her blond waves tousling around and falling past her shoulders. Her hair had gotten pretty long over the term. Maybe a nice trim would be in order when she went back home to Bordeaux over the Summer. She was still in shock that Noel lived there as well and yet she hadn't ever seen him!

Side stepping to the beat of the music, she let out a chuckle as he ran his finger along her face. She felt a shiver run through her when he pushed back her hair behind her ear, almost making her emit a soft sigh. That was definitely a nice feeling. "I am ze luckiezt woman in ze world." She whispered, feeling herself swell with emotions inside. Who would have thought she would meet someone so.. so wonderful within the first year of leaving France. Not to mention he actually was French as well. It was almost comical how that happened.

Did he really not think she wanted to go with him? She had been itching for him to make some notion for weeks now. Maybe he was just shy about it, Brielle had mentioned that he was sometimes. Shrugging her shoulders lightly, she winked and gave him a hearty smile. "Of courze. I wouldn't want to go wiz anyone elze." Which was too true. Anyone else would just make no sense. So he has been wanting to ask her! Her little push was all he needed. Closing her eyes in a sweet and modest fashion, she nodded while looking down. "Why yez. I would like zat, your majezty." She smiled, moving down into a curtsy. Might as well start acting the royal part, oui?

He was such a charmer. Chuckling, she kept up with the tempo of the dance, smiling up at him and feeling like she was on cloud nine. "I 'ope there aren't any other Cozett's you know." She impishly smiled, doing a little twirl in his grip. Now that would be unfortunate to know she wasn't the only one.

Following along with her for a moment to the song before becoming a bit more confident in his steps, yes the beginning was always the ‘hard’ part for him at first, he smiled as he heard her whisper. The luckiest woman? "We are perfect zen, becauze I’m ze luckiest man in ze world." Obviously, they went together then.

He beamed as he finally knew that she would go with him to the ball. She said 'yes'! in other words. Of course, it didn't really go as he planned, which he had all planned out in his mind but never really got around to doing so because of nerves, however it was still perfect as ever. Dancing with her, with music playing the background, and no one else around. Oui, it was perfect.

And he was being curtsied to? That was a first. Then again, he was a King. Hehe. Perhaps he should bow back...Oops! Nope, he was losing his footing in the dancing. Perhaps a bow afterward. Like people did in other dances. "None zat I know of." he chuckled as she twirled. Tilting his head to the side, he nodded a few times here and there as if contemplating something, shrugging his shoulders out of instinct. "Even if zere waz, zere iz only one of you. And I'd mozt certainly chooze you over ze rezt." There was no competition there.

After long expanses of just thinking and reminiscing about his school years, it was in the abandoned classroom number eleven that Aiden Chevalier found himself at the end. For now, at least. Who know if his feet would wander some more like his mind was no doubt going to do. He decided that he was tired of the thinking, so he just plopped into one of the seats and leaned back, making himself as comfortable as he could do in the somewhat small desk-chairs, then rested his head back a little as his eyes closed.

Aaaaaaaaah.

Two days. Two days until Miss Savannah Conrad would be in New York City modeling and with her boyfriend. It was a lovely thought wasn't it? Savannah sure thought it was. Of course, there was something strange though. Savannah was actually going to MISS this dull place and she knew it. Now, she still wanted to leave of course, New York City was MUCH more fun to wander around then this school. Especially since she didn't have to wear uniforms.

Right now, she was just trying to take in everything, remember every single place she could about this school. It wasn't like she was coming back any time soon, nope, this was forever and quite honestly, she was excited about it. Savannah wandered and kept wandering up she ended up in the old classroom, one which held a few memories. Her first thought was to go to a desk and just sit and stare around, try to remember every detail she could.

That thought? Yeah, it changed. Savannah smirked, crossing her arms over her chest as she leaned against the door frame. Wasn't THIS a lovely surprise."Hey YOU, what are YOU doing here?"The typical smirk was etched on her face, eyes shifting in the 17 year old's direction.

Aiden heard the creak of the door as it opened, but he kept his eyes closed. Hopefully the person would see him resting his eyes and then he or she would leave and find some other place to go.

This thought disappeared completely right after he heard the first two accusatory words. Hah! As if he was doing something wrong by sitting in a classroom minding his own business. He smiled though, because that was just Savannah being her usual self, and he opened his eyes and straightened up before answering. "Well, I was taking a little break, but that didn't last very long." He turned. "What are you doing here?"
