The Main Stage and Seating area takes up the whole front of the Great Hall. There are round tables which seat eight or so people scattered everywhere, covered in white tablecloths, and decorated with red roses and place settings. Lit red candles float near the ceiling, casting a warm glow on the diners. To either side of the Great Hall are long trestle tables laden with all sorts of valentines food... only the table on the left features Valentines themed food like pizza with heart-shaped pepperoni, heart-shaped sushi, and pink lemonade, while the table on the right has a more anti-love theme with candy hearts that state slogans like 'cupid stay away', 'it's not me, it's you' and 'leave me alone', and cupcakes with hearts on them that would be cute if it wasn't for the little licorice dagger piercing each heart right through the centre.

Even closer to the front of the Great Hall is a large stage, right where the staff dais usually is. In front of the stage is a sizable dance floor, ready for anyone who wants to get up and show off the skills they learned with Flamsteed. As for the music, that is provided by The Dead Kneazles, a student band consisting of Vesper Bayliss, Nigel Barrington, West Odessa, and Ascanius Stark. They will be performing danceworthy tunes in 20-30 minute sets, and when they aren't up there rocking out for your listening and grooving pleasure, a sound system will play a selection of classic Muggle and Wizarding love and anti-love themed hits.

So come and eat, or dance, or just sit and chatter. Love is in the air!

Or is it?

ooc: Feel free to make up what kind of love or anti-love themed food or drinks your character finds on the two tables! While you may not RP for the band itself, you are more than welcome and encouraged to RP dancing to different songs (and saying what songs are playing on the sound system when the band isn't around), or just listening and watching as your character pleases!

Good but... loud. Too close. Gah.

That'd be something different.

There was Zahra's lover, Ascanius, as well as another boy she didn't know. And some girl... Casper or something?... and saw that she was smiled at West too. She immediately liked her.

Ana was in her element as she danced to the song, singing along all the while. What made it even more enjoyable was that the band was good. The way they were harmonising was amazing and both West and whoever the girl on stage was were great singers.

Text Cut: the baaand <3

And it was starting!

Really good too, not that she expected anything less. Now was her cue to hurry over and pile a few slices of pizza onto a plate and then come back to the front. 'Cause yeah, she was planning on watching and dancing at the front so she could properly see them and everything.

So that was what she did, moving quickly back over to the food table with the pizza on it, grabbing a plate, and then picking up and dropping three slices onto it. She was saving room for more food later, plus it would be easier to eat and dance a little if she only got a little at a time.

She nommed on one piece as she made her way back to the front of the crowd, swaying a little in time with the beat of the songs.

ASDFGHJKL. "LOOK THAAAAAT ONE'S WEST. The attractive one." Well really they were ALL attractive. Even the Casper-girl. ESPECIALLY the Casper-girl. She sighed up at West. Hello, obsession.

The Dead Kneazles. Nice.

They were playing rather fantastic songs. So far, they were all songs she and Manolo heard their father play when they were young.

She closed her eyes and swayed to the music, "...and just stay here in this moment for the rest of timeee..."

All eyes were definitely on them now...if they weren't before. As the music progressed and she matched her vocals and tone with West's, Vesper found she welcomed the eyes of her friends...and the others that she didn't really know. It actually felt good to be the center of this type of focus. Unlike Quidditch that was such a rough sport...there wasn't anything rough and brutal about this.

At least...not right now. The Ravenclaw wasn't nearly old enough to know that kind of pain.

...The performance aspect was different from quidditch, too...and she was definitely putting on a performance for this audience. She'd read somewhere once that when you put on a show for people, you give a part of yourself away...Give a part of yourself over to them. Vesper got that now. She did feel like she was giving things away with each song they did...but for the sake of the show, the band, and the audience, she didn't care. They were sharing something magical in this moment.

SPOILER!!: Flamnos!

Also, was that Professor Flamsteed and Professor Romanos out there on the dance floor? Ves didn't miss a beat with lyrics and her tambourine, of course...but the sight was still interesting to see. How cute were they?

Maybe she could sing something just for them later...Lifting her gaze to West's, surely they could work something out. There would be the requests portion...if time permitted.

SPOILER!!: Dead Kneazles!

It had a nice little jive to it and when West got to his guitar solo toward the end of the song, Ascanius riffed a little on his cymbals to help him out. Y'know, before Vesper got all RIDICULOUS with her voice. Which she had always done in rehearsals, but never to the extent she was leaving out on the stage right now.

O___o

Yeah, she could sing.

Jeez, they were killin' it.

He was almost sorry when the first song ended, but then he remembered that they got to do a whole set of music. After all, they were playing for a while. Tons and tons of music to be had.

And Ascanius was bursting with excitement and adrenaline.

NOTHING was like playing live. Actually nothing. It was this insane rush.

So he had to actually put his drumsticks down while West announced their next song SOMEBODY TO LOVE BY QUEEN. Mostly because Queen was stuff that the audience could scream along to...as well as some solo stuff for all of them. Which musicians loved to do.

And with that, Vesper started them off strong. Voice and keys.

What surprised him the most was the amazing singing voice the Vesper had. West was being awesome as always and bam Vesper starts singing along.

Guess she really likes Fleetwood Mac.

Nigel feel into a groove listening to Ascanius play the drums and the vocals. It shocked him once the song was over. That went pretty fast. It was pretty energizing playing live for the first time. No onto more songs to play and it came as no surprise to him that Queen would be next. Now this song he could relax for basically the first thirty seconds. Definitely a change of pace and a song everyone can sing along to because who doesn't know Queen.

There was nothing else to do but watch the crowd and silently sing along. You always have to keep the rhythm of the song going on, no matter what.

He had just got the breather he need after the last song had ended. You know with West addressed the crowd and all that jazz. But now the next song was being announced. I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith.

Not bad. It was a great song to sing along to and was kind of fitting for valentine's day.

And from what he could see, people were getting into it, so that was good. It just made him wanna do even better. All the practice was definitely paying off though. He smiled at that little Marigold kid, since she was out there and apparently enjoying herself, and then picked out his friends, grinning at each of them in turn. AND HELLS YEAH YO GO THEO. Heh. Okay so his best mate wasn't all hung up on Ella anymore... not too much anyways, but still. Kudos. Dancing. Making memories. Good stuff. Mental fist bumps would happen but West had to focus, and in truth was being carried off with the music.

And soon enough they were onto the next song. And then the next, a little slower since well they had to do some slow jams for dance reasons and all. West was enjoying himself, especially riffing off Ascanius and Nigel, and the three of them providing a musical canvas for Vesper to paint with that voice of hers.

Once they finished caning Aerosmith, West ran his fingers through his hair and spoke into the microphone again. "Lets keep it slow, I wanna see more of you dancing out there. This next song is by a band called Lady Antebellum, Need You Now. On account of we need all of you." Cheeeeeeesy grin. Things would pick up a little more on the next tune but for now... Ves began playing the opening notes, and the boys all joined in accordingly. Duet time! He licked his thumb before strumming his first note on his guitar. Yeah, he was gonna make it SING in this song.

Ascanius was going NUTS back there, wasn't he? Vesper turned her back towards the crowd, giving Ascanius some appreciation as he went through the drum fills and skimmed his cymbals. The Slytherin's face was intense, too...and Ves had to force herself to keep singing and jiggling her hand. She wanted to full out fangirl her bandmates, okay? And not just Ascanius and his noise...but Nigel, too...because he was so cool in his white suit, strumming at his bass strings, looking rather calm...and West...Well, what wasn't there to appreciate about West?

Seriously.

From Queen, to Aerosmith, Vesper was forced to push her voice...as Freddie Mercury and Steven Tyler were both in those upper registers. West had been right there with her, of course...the two of them playing off each other's vocals; complimenting and supporting where needed. Ves decided, as a whole, it was much better having someone to sing with (on top of the playing). When she'd finally taken her place behind the piano with Queen, adjusting her mitt and running through those first keys with ease, it been instant relief. In reality, the Ravenclaw was a piano player first; a singer second.

Besides, being behind the piano...she got to watch both West and Nigel rock out...without feeling like a creeper for doing so. Ugh, her bandmates. There was something magnetic about each of them; something that commanded your attention and didn't allow you to look away...How lucky had it been, getting this caliber of talent together within the school? Though, the slight awkwardness for her there was that...all this music made her feel all the things...and that was a dangerous zone to live in. Emotionally, Vesper gave so much of herself to the music...Unfortunately, music had no master.

Unknowingly, she sent another heated look to Alice.

When West announced the next number, she took a calming breath. Despite the personal repercussions, Vesper began to play; looking up at West steadily. The best duets required eye contact and proof that you were feeling the music. So, she was going to give it to him....For the sake of the audience.....you know.

"Picture perfect memories...scattered all around the floor." The vocal was low, in her throat; not as complex in melody as the previous songs. It meant she could really focus on the emotion of it. "Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore." Was her face doing a thing? Was it giving her away? West's voice joined hers a moment later, backing and supporting in matching tones. "...And I wonder if I ever cross your mind..." Her vulnerability mixed in with that slight falsetto there..."For me it happens all the time..." There was a fade off and pause.

"It's a quarter after one...I'm all alone and I need you now..." Fingers continued to fly over keys as she sang, offering up all the song feels. "Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control....and I need you noooow." Still giving the feels. ".....And I don't know how I can dooo without...I just need you nooooooooow...."

....................

Vesper hoped everyone was enjoying this. New song soon, right? *MENTAL FLAILING*

OOC: I has permission to godmod fellow band members!

Oh yes, some of their own lovely students had formed a band for this particular event, didn't they?

They were splendidly good. Looked fantastic up on the stage together too. Their name though...

Oh, the moment of truth. They'd be fine. Wonderfully fine. "Alvays."

The color rising in his cheeks was still visible through all the age spots and wrinkles, but as his mind was able to focus on the simple task of dancing he didn't feel quite as old as he had a few moments ago. On the inside at least. Which is why he tried not to look at his hands as one moved wiggled its way around her waist and he reached for one of her hands with the other.

To anyone watching, however, it probably looked like a father dancing with his daughter. Or grandfather with a granddaughter. Or GREAT grandfather with...well...you get the picture.

When the music changed it took him a few moments to register the new beat before he subconsciously pulled Medea a little closer to him and leaned his cheek against her hair, humming what parts of the song he could remember into her ear.

"I need you noooooow."

Text Cut: Penelope!

........... Blink blink.

Ascanius? ASCANIUS? He was her boyfriend? Delilah blushed, feeling quite embarrassed. Hadn't she just winked at him a few seconds ago? Right in front of Penelope? Oh, goodness.

She cleared her throat, managing to give the other girl a small awkward smile. "Lucky girl." Oh, heck. She definitely was. Ascanius.. Yeah. Definitely.

Delilah was having a FANTASTIC time, okay? It was all so perfect, you know? Music, dancing, friends, food.. she was feeling good. Like, really good. This was just what she needed. A break from all the stress lately.

Also. Vesper's voice was beautiful. Like.. really beautiful. Honestly, Delilah normally probably wouldn't ever like a Fleetwood Mac cover because well, the band was EPIC and to even attempt to cover any of their songs would be.. wrong. BUT, the Dead Kneazles' version was almost as good. /Almost./ Delilah was quite impressed. She started to sway to the music, singing along but not too loudly. Yeeeeah, she knew the lyrics to every Fleetwood Mac song. A huge fangirl, see?

QUEEN. AEROSMITH. Delilah LOVED that song so much! "......I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep..... 'Cause I miss you babe and I don't want to miss a thing...." She kind of wished she'd slow-danced to that song with a certain someone but oh, well.

... Oh, awesome. She bit her lip as Vesper started to sing Need You Now. Uh. That song.. She flushed slightly but didn't look too excited. For reasons. The girl ran a hand through her messy blonde hair and looked around to distract herself until this song finished.

Talikins · 02-26-2014, 04:09 PM

WHEEEEEEEEEEE. TODAY WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY. MHHHHHHMM

All bouncy and smiley, Abbi made her way inside the great hall. She was earlier than she was meant to be and that was cause she wanted to explore a little on her own before she met up with Lucas. It wasn't like she was nervous or anything, nope, nope.

The band and the music is what caught her attention first and that's exactly where she stayed for a few moments. Swaying to the lyrics of I need you now, it was real soothing and all lovey dovey which meant it suited the occasion. You know it was the perfect music to create cooties and all that.

Cooties...well hugging...well kissing. What if Roda wanted to do that?

O_______O

NO NO. She'd be in control. Miss Abbi Campi always knew how to be. Totally okay?

natekka · 02-26-2014, 04:53 PM

What was Bliss even doing here? There were so many reasons that she shouldn't be here, but here she was regardless. She wasn't really in a Valentine's Day type spirit either, but the music promised to be good and she did really want to hear more from West's band ~~and to see West~~. So, here was the place to be.

But now it got awkward.

Did she just stand and wait for some lonely couple to take pity on her? Were there other singles that she could talk to? Food. That was an option of course, but she could see Alice over there, so it was an option she'd avoid for now. For now, she'd settle with standing on the sidelines, listening to amazing music and sending 'desperate-but-not-desperate' glances at people. Sounds like a plan.

While Tobes helped himself to his cupcake, she peeled the wrapper away from hers and worked on hers, too, and followed his gaze up to the stage. Vesper was a surprisingly good singer, Sophie thought. And she caught Ascanius' smile and returned it to him - he looked like a pro up there, of course, but that boy had dynamite rhythm in his core, she was certain of it. It must've just coursed through his veins. None of it was really dancing music, though, was it? Not the kind of dancing she wanted to see from Tobes. He had moves to show her from that seminar class thing, yeah? Or maybe not, if all the songs were going to be so up-beat and loud.

Which seemed fitting for this particular band so far, so she wasn't getting her hopes up.

"No," she responded simply, turning to smile a cupcake-y grin at him. "Uuuuuum, well - there's the dancing, and I passed a weird... boat-tunnel thing? The Tunnel of Love, it was called, so I guess that's like a ride for couples and stuff to get away from everyone? I saw some games 'n' stuff - and there's a photo booth over there, too," she told him, nodding her head over toward the place in question. "We'll definitely have to do that one. We worked too hard to look good tonight to pass up getting our hotness documented." Hehehehe. Her cupcake finished, she set the wrapper on her empty plate. She glanced up at the stage as a slower sort of song began - Tobes could probably show her his moves with that kind of thing, but it was probably a stretch. "Y'wanna go do something, then? Or d'you see anyone you wanna go talk to?"

He could decide. It was nice to sit down and rest for a little bit, but now she wanted to do something. ANYTHING. Heck, she'd even go for that silly boat ride if Tobes wanted to. She just wanted to spend the time with him.

She didn't want to crash anyone's conversations, but she saw a couple people she figured would be fine with talking to her. Right? Right. So when the next song started - one of her favorites, by the way - she went over to talk to Toby.

"Sup," she said to him, grinning. HAI TOBY HAI. And his lady-friend too. Hi you.

And wait nobody else she knew. Welp.

"We can check everything out," Tobias had said, once Sophie had given him the rundown of what was up at the Ball. It all sounded worth checking out; and may as well make the most of the day, right? Adventure time ahhhhh yea. He was just about to suggest getting up to maybe dance or something when Marigold showed up.

"Hey Marigold!" Toby replied cheerfully, giving her a wave and a smile. "This is Soph."

But then, was that kid her valentine? Toby gave him a smile too and then looked back to Sophie.

"D'you fancy a dance?" he suggested, brushing the remainders of the crumbs from his fingers,

Merlin. Promising Dora ANY number of dances was a bad idea.

She tried to survey the food more seriously, but her best was getting in the way, so she gave up. "Do not. Sometimes it's gross, and Gran says it can do bad things to my body and make me put on so much weight that I'll break my broom if I sit on it." And Alice was quite fond of her broom. "I can cast cleaning spells just fine, thanks. Like what healthy?" Options, please.

"It's not tangible. Not real or in existence. You can't hold zero apples just like you can't hold zero hands while having zero dances." She quipped, but did not press on further since she was still getting her one dance and Alice had agreed to stay with her the entire time regardless. That was the whole point, wasn't it? To be with Alice. "Twirling." There would be some of that, yes.

Her eyes left the stage and surveyed her best with an amused expression. "You gain that much weight? Impossible. That would be like me doing all of that exercise I hear all of you quidditch players speak of." Dora was still recovering from her spontaneous run with Botros, did not need anymore of that. "The chicken doesn't look so bad." She observed. "Or the fruit. Fruit is really good stuff you know." Did she? She had to.

Not particularly one of Alice's favorites by that band, but she supposed it was decent. She actually preferred the Dead Kneazles' version to the original, especially since Vesper's vocals proved to be a perfect complement to West's.

Which she was rather jealous of, but they sounded great.

Since Dora hadn't pounced on her and started forcing her to dance yet, she just stood where she had been by the food table and swayed a little to the music. Pity that Alice had given up on grabbing a bite, though, because being preoccupied with a meal would have distracted her from Vesper's look. Look? Why was she....?

"Why is she glaring me?" she whispered to Dora, not backing down from Vesper's gaze. It seemed like a glare. Was it? Why would it be?

Dora had gotten completely distracted from their conversation once the band started playing music, and was very much content to sitting on the table and listening to them harmonize. While she preferred listening to Vesper play in their dorms with nothing but the piano, it was nice to hear her singing with the boys. They ALL sounded great, and played so well. How it'd taken so long for them to play live, she wasn't sure. But she was certainly hoping it wouldn't be their last time playing live.

"She's not..." Her eyes, which had been sweeping over each member while they sang, now focused on Vesper who was... yes. She was tossing looks Alice's way. Interesting that.

Mostly, a total mood killer.

The sixth year moved off the table and kicked off her heels, reaching out for Alice's hand. "I think it's all the make up. Too much of it. Come on, too many songs have played and I want my dance now." She made a show of wiggling her toes. "Even took my shoes off. You'll have to do the same if you're standing on me."

Well. This had turned out to be an interesting night.
After Sander and Tessa wandered off to be lovey-dovey and then Lux and Bay disappeared into the Tunnel of Love, little Lou was left all by himself at the table. He didn't mind, though, and distracted himself watching the surprisingly good band perform until he started receiving disgruntled tweets from his best mate who'd just been kissed by a spontaneous Lux. Oh dear.

Louis tried not to laugh at the situation between his two best friends and left the empty table to wander over to the food tables, where he proceeded to pick a heart-shaped chocolate. He took a bite and looked around the crowded Hall, watching as couples danced on the dance floor and the one-man shows gathered at the anti-Valentine's food table before wandering off to the games.

Lou considered the idea of bailing and tucking himself in early that night when he spotted a lovely blonde girl standing by the dance floor, swaying to the music but without any company. Huh. The boy smiled to himself and walked over to her. He stood beside the girl without a sound, staring at her profile as she looked up at the band for a moment before finally speaking up, "Well, you look lovely tonight." And she really did. He didn't think Delilah could ever look more lovely than she normally did, but guess what, you really do learn something new everyday. "Did your date wander off too?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. Surely Delilah hadn't come by herself, had she?

Besides, they would be seventh years soon. Best to move on from any drama at this point. Just saying. The wink, though? Ella laughed and winked back, a big over-exaggerated one at that. Gran would be proud.

This was going well, wasn't it? Shocker. Maybe things could be normal again after all.

"I'd be surprised if she missed the chance to dress up." Bellaire was a bit of a fashionista, wasn't she? At least Ella thought she had style. Seemed lots of Professors did these days, actually. Maybe trying to keep the Headmistress happy since she seemed to like following the trends. "It is, yeah. She's going to do great things." Sophie was brilliant so Ella had no doubts. As for her, the blonde smiled a little. "Uni for Magizoology. I mean, if I get in." And it felt really good to have a plan.

Vesper's voice, though? WOW. Ella's green eyes widened a bit and she just listened. No wonder the girl kept quiet so often. Open that mouth and pure magic would come out and then dance parties would break out in class and it'd be anarchy. She knew people would probably be writing about her now though, yeah? That'd be something different.

And Theodore Kinsley had moves. Ella was surprised at how suddenly she was pulled in and then twirled so she let out a little squeak, glad that he was holding on to her or else she'd probably have fallen over. Her body wasn't the strongest as of late so the Slytherin really did need to make sure she didn't end up on the ground. And look at that, finishing with a dip. Ella grinned up at him and said cheerfully, "I'm impressed! You should be on dancing with the stars or something." Okay, he wasn't that good but he honestly wasn't half bad. Who knew?

Hehehehe... okay, enough with the complimenting before they both exploded. Theo chuckled it off and tried to move the subject on. "Actually... yeah, I think you're right. Gryffindor girls, eh?" Seriously, it was like Theo repelled them. Merlin only knew how West survived with one as a girlfriend.

Theo shrugged. "Eh, I guess a cheesey ball like this isn't up many grown ups' street." Apart from Professor Flamsteed, of course, who Theo had caught sight of. Well he would be here, wouldn't he? "No biggie, though. I'm having a really great time." With his friends, and stuff. He really hadn't expected this to turn out okay. Theo nodded. Sophie was amazing at charms, so he had no doubt that she would succeed in life after Hogwarts. Magizoology?? What the heck was that? "Magi-what?" It was a mouthful. Theo wasn't even gonna attempt to pronounce it.

Wooooooooooot. Impressing da ladies. This was becoming one of Theo's specialties, who'd have ever guessed that? He snorted at her comment. "That's about all I can do. Don't expect me to throw you in the sky and catch you." Because, yeah, he was a flipping strong fella but carrying a person?! No thanks. He looked up at the stage when the first two songs finished and did his hysterical clapping and cheering... then came a slow song. Kinda. Theo stopped his flailing and extravagant moves and then beamed at Ella suggestively.

Come on, let's dance sloooooow. He placed a hand on her waist, and held her hand with his free one. Now all he had to do was remember that Ella was his FRIEND and nothing more. Easy, right? Pfft. Theo pulled her close enough so their heads were almost side by side. He was a lot taller than her, of course, so her head wasn't QUITE higher than his upper chest. His eyes went over her shoulder and stayed on the band as he swaaaaaaaaaayed along with her.

His heart was pounding like mega.

All bouncy and smiley, Abbi made her way inside the great hall. She was earlier than she was meant to be and that was cause she wanted to explore a little on her own before she met up with Lucas. It wasn't like she was nervous or anything, nope, nope.

The band and the music is what caught her attention first and that's exactly where she stayed for a few moments. Swaying to the lyrics of I need you now, it was real soothing and all lovey dovey which meant it suited the occasion. You know it was the perfect music to create cooties and all that.

Cooties...well hugging...well kissing. What if Roda wanted to do that?

O_______O

NO NO. She'd be in control. Miss Abbi Campi always knew how to be. Totally okay?

Valentine's Day was awesome, especially the part where three pretty girls had kissed his cheek, Elodie being the prettiest of them all. Why did people dislike this day??

This was fun! After deciding that a ball had nothing to do with football and more with lotsa dancing Donny had to go. Dancing was fuuuun. Maybe Elodie would even be there......so that he could dance with her, maybe?? Even if she wasn't there it'd still be fun, Abbi had to be there!

Donny made his way through the great hall, bopping along to the music as he did so. He spotted his best friend a little way down and bounced over, she was... dancing? Yeah, dancing. His dancing involved more arm-swinging and jumping around, but Abbi's dancing would do.

"Heeeeey, Abbicadabbi!" Squeaked Donny, swaying along with her. "Happy to see you here, along with millllions of cooties."
Cooties weren't real, Donnacha had convinced Abbi that they were as fake as the Easter Bunny, but she was still weird about them. Not Donny, nope. Elodie had kissed his cheek, lots of times, and Lux had kissed him too, but that ended with Donny running off. He checked the coast, hoping Lux wasn't around to ambush him or something.

.... FOOD. Yes. Delilah needed food. She was hungry and this song was slowly making her feel extremely uncomfortable. Okay, yes. It was Valentines, after all and she supposed it was appropriate that they played really cheesy/romantic music buuuuut. Yeah, no. She needed a breather. The girl was just about to drag either Jer or Lotus to the eating area when.. she jumped.

"Lou, you scared me.." Wait, what? He just said that she looked lovely. The pink on her cheeks deepened to a bright red, obviously feeling extremely pleased. She nervously ran a hand through her hair again 'cause you know.. Lou in a SUIT. Yeah. It was quite distracting. "You look really handsome too." Well, he ALWAYS looked handsome, though. Always, always.

"I... don't have a date." No. Not that she was feeling ashamed about it. There was no one she wanted to come with anyway.. except for Lou, that is. "Wander off too? Where IS your date? Did you scare her off?" Delilah grinned slightly. Heh.

Louis flashed the girl a guilty smile when she jumped in surprise. "Sorry." Oh, and apparently he was handsome too? Well. That was a real compliment coming from someone who usually just made everyone within a five-mile radius look like an old raggedy shoe. "Thank you."

He finished off the piece of chocolate he'd grabbed from the table earlier, and raised his eyebrows as Delilah went on to confess she didn't have a date. No judgement, but he was honestly surprised. "How'd you manage that?" Weren't boys like throwing themselves at her feet?

At her following comment, he laughed.
"No, she went off to find her true love," he replied, shaking his head. "It was a friends Valentine," he added with a shrug.

Lady of Light · 02-26-2014, 06:42 PM

How did she manage that?

Delilah just stared at him for a moment. What? She didn't have guys chasing after her, you know. The girl simply shook her head and gave a small shrug. "I wasn't even going to come but.. I heard that the band were going to be playing so.." But, yeah. This was better than sitting in her dorm, snacking on chocolate frogs and feeling depressed.

... Friends valentine. Oh. That was a relief. She remained quiet for a moment, turning to look up at the band.

"Do you want to dance?"

WAS THAT BESTIE? OH YES IT WAS WOOOOTY WOOOOTY.

Smiling about Abbi watched as her best friendie made his way over. She knew without a doubt that he'd definitely be here and most likely for one of his older girl friends, like particularly *cough* Elodie *cough*. Always about her, hehe. As long as she was still his number one best friend she didn't mind....too much. Elodie was sweet anyways.

"Donnnyyy!" Beamy faces turned into sassy ones soon. She didn't like being sassy with Donny, but when he said stuff like that GOSH he was asking for it okay? "I ain't getting cooties today." Abbi translation of I'm not getting any kisses or hugs today, yep. Sassy clicks followed.

"We should dance, it's better than starting an argument about cooties....again." DRAMATIC sighing followed as always.

Louis seemed amused as Delilah just stared at him, before confessing she hadn't even planned to come to the event at all. "Ah, but then those dancing lessons would've gone to waste!" he said sarcastically, as if that would've been an epic loss.

And speaking of dance lessons, now Delilah was asking him if he wanted to dance. "Well, if you insist..." he replied playfully. And actually, now he DID feel glad to have taken those dance lessons last month, or else he wouldn't have known what to do with himself as he took Delilah's hand and positioned himself in front of the girl, his other hand coming to rest on her waist.

"I don't mean to brag, but Lux and I did come in second place on that competition, so you're dancing with a pro," he joked with a playful smile as the two teenagers began to move along to the rhythm of the wonderfully depressing slow music. It was a good thing he'd found Delilah or else the boy would've totally bailed after the fifth song about some unhappy bloke's heartbreak.

That's rather disappointing," she said, totally joking, though, "I know, though, so thank you." He did a good job on himself, only she failed to mention this. Entirely on purpose.

Also, thanks for asking how she was doing, Jeremiah, thank you indeed.

Granted, she didn't have time to dwell on this because... seriously? Did she know the band? 3/4 of it, anyway. "You don't know who they are? You have to at least know who West Odessa is." Well, yes, she was slightly surprised at this. Then again, Jeremiah was sort of new. And there were no Gryffindors in the band. He wouldn't know who Ascanius and Vesper are, but West? ~~And he probably ought to know who Nigel is.~~ "Hint: Slytherin Captain." Just so you know, Jer.
His next reaction was missed thanks to the one she was talking about.
AND SHE BEAMED. The brightest smile went to West up on stage, and she waved back. Enthusiastically, even. She was really happy for them. This almost never happened.
As a fellow Slytherin, though...
"Vesper!" Literally the only Ravenclaw at Hogwarts she likes. Yes, feel special about it, Miss Bayliss. Why, of course, that same bright smile she'd given West went to Vesper also. And a quick wave as well!

But, man, she looked stunning. Did anyone stop to look at Vesper today? She's just...WOW. Do you see the flowers??? How did she do it, though? Because that wasn't permanent, so they must be charmed on her skin. Incredible. Totally approved by Lotus Wisteria. And she will ask later. Also, Lottie owns a dress similar to that one. Go figure.
Yes, Jeremiah, we know the band. Clearly.
Oh, Merlin. Yes, exactly, that's where Delilah is, we JUST pointed her to you, Jeremiah. "We're coming," she mouthed this at Delilah before nodding and smiling her way. However, she stopped to look at the Gryffindor boy for a moment...

...yeah, he was definitely tagging along.

"Come on." Lottie said, wrapping her hand on his forearm because that is oh-so-very-gentleman-like and suited him. Gryffindor and all. The Hogwartian pulled him along to Delilah and the stage.

Now he was distracted, and most of the words coming out of Lottie's mouth he didnt comprehend, Something about knowing 'West" and captain of something.. he wasnt sure, he'd find out soon enough though he was sure of it.
She did look nice though, Lottie did. Though he wasn't actually sure of what she wore on a daily basis, he didnt pay that much attention so he wasnt aware if this was dressed up or not for the girl.

though he did snap to attention, or more his arm when the girl had a grip on him and was tugging him across the room "oh, ok." yeah he was coming he supposed seeing as how he was being dragged. Hi Lottie

Honestly, Delilah had assumed that her friend would be spending Valentines with a certain someone.. but she wasn't complaining. "You look super nice, though." Just like she always did, yeah? And then her blue-grey eyes turned to look at Jeremiah. A very well-dressed Jeremiah, actually. "Looking darn good, Walker." He got a hug too.. and a kiss on the cheek.
[/COLOR]

Dragged over to a Delilah who looked very.. very pretty, Stunning even in his opinion, then again she always did, it was just how she rolled. he was still a bit flustered by just her in general that he almost missed what she said, something about him looking nice.. or something. "Yeah? thanks, you look great too." 'GREAT'!?!?! of every word he could of used to compliment her he went with great. he should just turn around and leave now.

and he was about to just excuse himself when Delilah was pulling him in for a hug, a friend hug he could tell but it was a hug none the less, he put an arm around her, returning it, trying not to pass out over all the things when he felt her lips touch his cheek briefly,

................

What.. Was. Air.

He felt heat rise to his cheeks quickly as he tried his damn hardest to play it cool but he couldnt help the small smirk that came out of no where smacking its self on his face, words we're able to function at this point and he just found himself....... Staring at her...

Good Going, Walker.

What surprised him the most was the amazing singing voice the Vesper had. West was being awesome as always and bam Vesper starts singing along.

Guess she really likes Fleetwood Mac.

Nigel feel into a groove listening to Ascanius play the drums and the vocals. It shocked him once the song was over. That went pretty fast. It was pretty energizing playing live for the first time. No onto more songs to play and it came as no surprise to him that Queen would be next. Now this song he could relax for basically the first thirty seconds. Definitely a change of pace and a song everyone can sing along to because who doesn't know Queen.

There was nothing else to do but watch the crowd and silently sing along. You always have to keep the rhythm of the song going on, no matter what.

He had just got the breather he need after the last song had ended. You know with West addressed the crowd and all that jazz. But now the next song was being announced. I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith.

Not bad. It was a great song to sing along to and was kind of fitting for valentine's day.

OOC: I've permission for band-moding.

And not just Ascanius and his noise...but Nigel, too...because he was so cool in his white suit, strumming at his bass strings, looking rather calm...and West...Well, what wasn't there to appreciate about West?

Seriously.

From Queen, to Aerosmith, Vesper was forced to push her voice...as Freddie Mercury and Steven Tyler were both in those upper registers. West had been right there with her, of course...the two of them playing off each other's vocals; complimenting and supporting where needed. Ves decided, as a whole, it was much better having someone to sing with (on top of the playing). When she'd finally taken her place behind the piano with Queen, adjusting her mitt and running through those first keys with ease, it been instant relief. In reality, the Ravenclaw was a piano player first; a singer second.

Besides, being behind the piano...she got to watch both West and Nigel rock out...without feeling like a creeper for doing so. Ugh, her bandmates. There was something magnetic about each of them; something that commanded your attention and didn't allow you to look away...How lucky had it been, getting this caliber of talent together within the school? Though, the slight awkwardness for her there was that...all this music made her feel all the things...and that was a dangerous zone to live in. Emotionally, Vesper gave so much of herself to the music...Unfortunately, music had no master.

Unknowingly, she sent another heated look to Alice.

When West announced the next number, she took a calming breath. Despite the personal repercussions, Vesper began to play; looking up at West steadily. The best duets required eye contact and proof that you were feeling the music. So, she was going to give it to him....For the sake of the audience.....you know.

"Picture perfect memories...scattered all around the floor." The vocal was low, in her throat; not as complex in melody as the previous songs. It meant she could really focus on the emotion of it. "Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore." Was her face doing a thing? Was it giving her away? West's voice joined hers a moment later, backing and supporting in matching tones. "...And I wonder if I ever cross your mind..." Her vulnerability mixed in with that slight falsetto there..."For me it happens all the time..." There was a fade off and pause.

"It's a quarter after one...I'm all alone and I need you now..." Fingers continued to fly over keys as she sang, offering up all the song feels. "Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control....and I need you noooow." Still giving the feels. ".....And I don't know how I can dooo without...I just need you nooooooooow...."

....................

Vesper hoped everyone was enjoying this. New song soon, right? *MENTAL FLAILING*

OOC: I has permission to godmod fellow band members!

And from what he could see, people were getting into it, so that was good. It just made him wanna do even better. All the practice was definitely paying off though. He smiled at that little Marigold kid, since she was out there and apparently enjoying herself, and then picked out his friends, grinning at each of them in turn. AND HELLS YEAH YO GO THEO. Heh. Okay so his best mate wasn't all hung up on Ella anymore... not too much anyways, but still. Kudos. Dancing. Making memories. Good stuff. Mental fist bumps would happen but West had to focus, and in truth was being carried off with the music.

And soon enough they were onto the next song. And then the next, a little slower since well they had to do some slow jams for dance reasons and all. West was enjoying himself, especially riffing off Ascanius and Nigel, and the three of them providing a musical canvas for Vesper to paint with that voice of hers.

Once they finished caning Aerosmith, West ran his fingers through his hair and spoke into the microphone again. "Lets keep it slow, I wanna see more of you dancing out there. This next song is by a band called Lady Antebellum, Need You Now. On account of we need all of you." Cheeeeeeesy grin. Things would pick up a little more on the next tune but for now... Ves began playing the opening notes, and the boys all joined in accordingly. Duet time! He licked his thumb before strumming his first note on his guitar. Yeah, he was gonna make it SING in this song.

ooc: I have band!moding permission

Keeping up with the Queen song was a little rough on Ascanius' end, what with the random riffs that seemed to come out of no where with that style, so when they fell into the easy rhythm of Aerosmith the sixth year let out a breath he didn't even know he had been holding. Being in the back did have its advantages he was finding, yeah? 'Cause no one was really looking at him lose his mind in the music and throwing himself all over his drums to hit each beat with an almost animalistic intensity.

Note to self: before the next set...water. Lots of that.

As soon as Aerosmith was over, Ascanius took a moment to rest his elbows on his set and take a few soothing breaths. He was exhausted. Music was a lot about leaving what was inside into his hands and letting it make something beautiful. That would exhaust any kind of man.

So...even though he wasn't a fan of Vesper's girly mostly acoustic sounding song choices...he was thankful when Need You Now started. He was silently a fan of the way that West and Vesper's voices sounded together. And the music behind them was mellow enough with this song that the audience could really hear 'em.

But, y'know, he had to wait a bit until he came in with this song. Keys, guitar and bass then him.

When his part came up, Ascanius actually just leaned back and kept a steady, unchanging beat on the bass drum and one of his tom-toms. Nothing really major, but definitely driving enough to keep West and Vesper's vocals going strong.

He kept Nigel in the corner of his eye so that they could set the tempo together and started to jive a little with this song. Eyes closed. The whole bit.

When the song started to pick up a little, he drove it home with a little more force, but nothing too loud. Noise. Wasn't that what Vesper called it, yeah? See? He could do more then the noise thing. And then he calmed his cymbals as Vesper's piano played out the last piece of the song.

Then...he waited. The customary amount of time for the audience to settle and enjoy the ringing of the last note throughout the great hall. Y'know, applause right here was welcomed and even kind of expected 'cause their first set had been KILLER.

While West announced that they would be taking a brief break before their next set, Ascanius hopped up from behind his drum set and beelined straight for Nigel clapping him hard on the back with the world's STUPIDEST smile on his face. "We slayed it, man." Did he feel that? 'Cause Ascanius did.

And he even smiled at Vesper from beside Nigel, "Way to shred the keys, Ves-" That was weird, "-per." Better. Much better.

Now where was West? This was bro hug worthy. Did they FEEL that energy?

OOC. I have permission to BAND!Mod

Anna shook her head and gave another laugh, "I wish I could say the same." She shrugged, her parents had thought she'd be a normal child, and for the most part she was their normal perfect daughter... but then the magic had to show up and made them see her as enough of a freak to send her back to Russia and keep her in an orphanage for the rest of her days... She mentally shook her head. Tonight was a fun night, she would not start moping about her parents now of all times. After all, she was here with Kace... nothing should make her sad when he was around.

... Then he asked about a slow dance and she felt the butterflies starting up again, but she gave a slight nod to his question, her mind going slightly blank at saying yes. She hated when her nerves got her like this, she kinda froze up. Annaleecia looked at him and tried to just make herself calm down but it wasn't working out to well... The idea of him holding her did make her happy, but it terrified her at the same time. Was it the right time? On top of that what if she did something stupid? Especially with knowing that he didn't like her back... She could slip up and do something idiotic and ruin their friendship.

Kace was asking her to slow dance and then he noticed the song change to Lady Antebellum. He knew this song and he asked for her to dance and he would not take no for an answer. He saw her just standing there contemplating and then he saw the head nod. He smiled and then took her onto the dance floor.

He put his hand on her waist and held her other hand in his. Then they started to sway. He grinned and said, "Wow you were right, you are a good dancer..." He was impressed with her skills. This song was nice to dance to but he was starting to miss Emmy. But Annalee was here and he was glad. If she wasn't here, he wouldn't have been having a fun time.

Then the music stopped and he noticed the band was on break. He stopped dancing and broke apart and asked her, "Do you mind if we go sit down and get something to drink? I do not know about you put i am pretty thirsty after doing those chicken dances."

Deezerz · 02-26-2014, 09:08 PM

She made an entrance.

Finally.

Beverly had been brooding over her gray - almost white - hair in the dorms when finally she decided to just go with it. Part of 'living it up' was to go with the flow, right? Meh. She wouldn't know, this was her first time aging so fast she felt the need to 'live it up' in any opportunity she got. And just in case her energy wavered, Little Old Bev wolfed down a dozen Sugar Quills.

Hyper 13!87 year old anyone?

Making it to the event in her pretty dress and Converse shoes, her head started bopping to the music. She'd gotten here just in time. Awesome. Grabbing a drink she squeezed herself to a spot that provided better view of the band.

OH. HEY. THAT GUY. AND THAT ONE.

They were from her house! She knew so because she's seen them in the common room. HI. HELLO. WOOOT.

Head still ridiculous bopping like a goose, she attempted to sing along. In her head. Yeah. No weird staring at her, m'kay. 'Cause: I NEED YOU NOOOOOW.

Oh yeah.

All too soon though, the song ended. Beverly clapped as if though she'd been a fan of the band for ages. More, more, more MOOOORE!

Theo shrugged. "Eh, I guess a cheesey ball like this isn't up many grown ups' street." Apart from Professor Flamsteed, of course, who Theo had caught sight of. Well he would be here, wouldn't he? "No biggie, though. I'm having a really great time." With his friends, and stuff. He really hadn't expected this to turn out okay. Theo nodded. Sophie was amazing at charms, so he had no doubt that she would succeed in life after Hogwarts. Magizoology?? What the heck was that? "Magi-what?" It was a mouthful. Theo wasn't even gonna attempt to pronounce it.

Wooooooooooot. Impressing da ladies. This was becoming one of Theo's specialties, who'd have ever guessed that? He snorted at her comment. "That's about all I can do. Don't expect me to throw you in the sky and catch you." Because, yeah, he was a flipping strong fella but carrying a person?! No thanks. He looked up at the stage when the first two songs finished and did his hysterical clapping and cheering... then came a slow song. Kinda. Theo stopped his flailing and extravagant moves and then beamed at Ella suggestively.

Come on, let's dance sloooooow. He placed a hand on her waist, and held her hand with his free one. Now all he had to do was remember that Ella was his FRIEND and nothing more. Easy, right? Pfft. Theo pulled her close enough so their heads were almost side by side. He was a lot taller than her, of course, so her head wasn't QUITE higher than his upper chest. His eyes went over her shoulder and stayed on the band as he swaaaaaaaaaayed along with her.

His heart was pounding like mega.

Yup. He did seem to be on their bad side. Ella smiled and nodded her head. "Gryffindor girls." They'd be the death of Theo if he wasn't careful.

"I don't think all grownups feel that way." Yup, she'd totally spotted Airey-face and Romanos looking all adorable and couple-y. The urge to tell Theo that she'd called that relationship bubbled up inside of her but she didn't open her mouth. It wasn't nice to brag, y'know? "Yeah? Me too. This is really fun." Grin! And Ella was just glad that things had come together and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Also that her and Theo were being friends again. Proper friends and all. She'd missed this. The eighteen year old let out a soft laugh at his trouble with the word and broke it down for him. "Magi-zoo-ology." Nodnod. "Creatures stuff. I want to work with creatures." Apparently it suited her or so she'd heard.

Mock!gasp. "What, you couldn't handle something that super, Theoman?" Kidding. In all honesty, she'd probably shatter into a bazillion pieces if anyone every tossed her up and caught her. Old bones were delicate and they hurt...all the time. Luckily the band was distracting and it totally took her mind off of her current problems. She clapped along with Theo as they transitioned into another song, wondering what would be next. The music so far had been brilliant so she was sure it would be something nice. Ah yes, a slow song. They were going to keep dancing, then? Ella smiled a little too and shuffled closer, letting the snake take the lead. That's what Airey had taught them, yeah?

Tall Theodore was tall, did he know? Ella ended up having to look up at him as he took her hand, positioning her free one gently on his shoulder. The closeness was new as she'd barely even hung out with him in two years but it was also nice. Much like the hug they'd had in the hallway this term, it reminded her of the way things used to be. This was comfortable. She smiled a little as he started to sway and followed along, mirroring his movements. She did wonder if he was okay, though. His heart was beating really fast and she could tell, given where her head was. Was this alright?

"Y'know, if you keep stealing dances I'm going to have to start charging you." She said this quietly, an amused smile playing on her lips. "I'll take cookies, okay?" As in he should definitely go and get her one when this song ended. Achy feet and a bad back meant she wasn't going to last the trek ALL the way to the refreshment table. Just saying.

Wait.
"We can blame it on the pastries," Justine said, with a small smirk, her bright eyes twinkling with amusement, she picked up one of the delicious and colorful macaroons and addressed it with a very stern look. "You sir, are zee reason for our little mis'ap, we do not appreciate your rudeness, nor your conduct," She said, pointing an accusatory finger at the offending macaroon. Though she tried to keep the laughter from her voice, the situation was just too silly and she had to let out a small chuckle.

"Oh no, please do not apologize, I was the one after all, who practically shouted about them," the young woman jokingly reminded Andrew, making light of herself. Justine was not at all offended by the way the boy ate his food, what did it matter to her anyway? He could have transfigured his nose into a trunk and used it to feed himself and Justine wouldn't have blinked an eye.

Justine blushed at Andrew's words, he loved how she said oui, instead of yes? Actually loved it? Well, he certainly was very sweet, and hearing it made her feel a smidgen more confident about her accent then she had been.
"Merci, I mean, zank you, I actually 'ave been trying to stop saying it, I'm trying to accumulate more to 'Ogwarts, and I thought it might 'ell to speak more english, and less French," the young girl said, tucking back a strand that had loosened itself from her previously immaculate up-do.
She was so bad a hair, and make-up, and anything feminine, if it weren't for her magical prowess she wouldn't even look normal through out a regular day, let along look presentable enough for a ball.

"I'm sure you were, it was uh.... Uh, 'ow you say, at the top of your tongue?" Justine teasingly said, pushing the boy playfully as she spoke. Justine was rather surprised at how well she and this boy were getting on, it wasn't that Justine wasn't friendly or anything like that, it had just been a long time since she had really made a new friend (Aside from Louis Bolton).

Justine listened with interest as the Ravenclaw explained how reading was his hobby and that his family had a huge library, and how he had taken a special interest in the linguistic section.
So he, like her, read for pleasure more then anything else, and now she was practically drooling at the thought of a massive private library.
" 'Ow wonderful, I always wanted to 'ave a beautiful library, unfortunately we never 'ad the room for one," Justine said, thinking dreamily of all those incredible books. "Please, go on, so you have a section on linguistics?" Justine added, urging the young man to finish his story, she was really quite curls as to how he had learned about the different languages and dialects of her country of origin.

Joining Justine in her epic search for a scapegoat to blame for their mishap earlier, Andrew agreed almost immediately when she suggested the pastries might have been to blame. "Of Course!" he grinned, "It's the pastries! It's always the pastries fault!" When getting to know new people, Andrew often worried that his creativity and eccentricity would be seen as weirdness by others, but he now felt confident that this Justine girl was just as brilliantly creative as he had always been told he was.

"That may be true, Justine." He replied when she told him she practically shouted at the macaroons. "But who could possibly blame you after the sort of mishap they caused?" He joked. "I think the macaroons deserve all the shouting and yelling they're getting after playing such an elaborate prank on us!" He smirked.

Andrew could not help but smile when he noticed a slight tinting of Justine's cheeks. Had he made her blush? He had already assumed that was the case before the color had even completely rushed into her face, and words could not describe how adorable he felt it was that she would blush because of something he said. She did have a lovely accent, and Andrew found her captivating. "Oh, of course! You can speak more English and less French if you really want to get rid of that gorgeous accent, but I think it makes you sound unique.. Special." He chortled. His laughter was not to be mistaken for lack of sincerity, because if Andrew was anything, he was sincere.

Justine's corruption of the common phrase made him laugh, but not because she mispronounced the idiom, but because he found it incredibly cute. "The tip of my tongue, you mean?" He corrected her with a smile as wide as any Hogwarts had ever seen. "Yes, it was right there, right on the tip of my tongue." He added playfully.

At this point, Andrew really wasn't sure whether he should continue telling Justine about his family's large estate and their enormous private library. He wasn't sure if anything he had to say about his adventures surrounded by all those books was of any interest to anyone but himself. There were very few things Andrew found more enjoyment in than reading, and while it was all glorious to him, he knew he had bored people to tears with his endless rants in the past, and he certainly didn't want to bore Justine.

"Well, yeah.. The linguistics section is massive. My parents speak.." He decided to continue, raising a hand to count on his fingers while silently mouthing the words that would form the ending to his sentence. "..Ffffffive different languages each?" He shrugged. Even he wasn't sure anymore. "And they're always learning new ones."

There were few people in the world that appreciated the beauty of language as much as Andrew's parents did. Their passion for the subject was matched only by their determination to pass their lust for learning onto every single one of their 16 children.

"Myself.. I only speak a little French.." He said, a little ashamed that he wasn't fluent like his mother was.

"I don't think all grownups feel that way." Yup, she'd totally spotted Airey-face and Romanos looking all adorable and couple-y. The urge to tell Theo that she'd called that relationship bubbled up inside of her but she didn't open her mouth. It wasn't nice to brag, y'know? "Yeah? Me too. This is really fun." Grin! And Ella was just glad that things had come together and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Also that her and Theo were being friends again. Proper friends and all. She'd missed this. The eighteen year old let out a soft laugh at his trouble with the word and broke it down for him. "Magi-zoo-ology." Nodnod. "Creatures stuff. I want to work with creatures." Apparently it suited her or so she'd heard.

Mock!gasp. "What, you couldn't handle something that super, Theoman?" Kidding. In all honesty, she'd probably shatter into a bazillion pieces if anyone every tossed her up and caught her. Old bones were delicate and they hurt...all the time. Luckily the band was distracting and it totally took her mind off of her current problems. She clapped along with Theo as they transitioned into another song, wondering what would be next. The music so far had been brilliant so she was sure it would be something nice. Ah yes, a slow song. They were going to keep dancing, then? Ella smiled a little too and shuffled closer, letting the snake take the lead. That's what Airey had taught them, yeah?

Tall Theodore was tall, did he know? Ella ended up having to look up at him as he took her hand, positioning her free one gently on his shoulder.

As in he should definitely go and get her one when this song ended. Achy feet and a bad back meant she wasn't going to last the trek ALL the way to the refreshment table. Just saying.

Theo laughed and shook his head. Yea, best to keep his distance. Especially from Alexa after tonight. What if he had nightmares about Alexa and kissing? What if Alexa tried to kiss HIM in these nightmares?? Gasssssssp.

It was kind of weird to Theo that grown ups would enjoy something like this, unless they thought it kept them young, or something. He, personally, found it embarrassing to see his teachers dressed up and dancing together, so it MUST be embarrassing for them as well. "Magi-zoo-ology." He repeated, like he would in Charms class or something. "Ahh... I get it. ZOO. Like where they keep animals." That was the link. But that was cool! "Sounds awesome! I'm glad you've got a plan." Unlike him. SNORT. Theoman. Gosh. Ella was the only person who still called him that, and it made him chuckle so much. "Don't tempt me to try it, Bishop!" Otherwise the Head Girl will be having a very intimate flying lesson indeed. Hehe.

He couldn't help it, but he was suddenly thinking about Dora, since it was really her that he should be dancing with right now. More than anything, he wished he had the guts to go and ask her for one dance, just for old times sake, but he could barely look at her in the eye let alone speak to her. Gosh, all these girls breakin' Theo's heart, eh? Thinking about his ex girlfriend definitely made him feel more relaxed with being here next to Ella, though. Ella was his friend and friends made each other feel good. He automatically gave her a bit of a squeeze as he thought about it, which was embarrassing so he stopped right away.

With his eyes still on the band, Theo smiled but sighed softly at the same time in response to her comment. Stealing dances. Did that mean she didn't want any more? "You owe me years of dances." He said shyly, then pulled his head back so that he was facing her properly again. His hands loosened around her as the song was coming to an end, as much as he disliked doing so. "I suppose I should let you go. If you want." Run along to the Head Boy, or whatever. Theo was still smiling, because this was good, this whole Ella encounter. It would be a shame to spoil it with this strange feeling that was going through his head. It wasn't jealousy exactly, because he had moved on from Ella, but more... longing?

Merlin knew. I ain't no teenage boy expert.

SPOILER!!: Fern

Look-,” She wiggled her seat back and held up one of her feet for the younger girl to see, then twisted her ankle back and forth so the glitter coated heal would catch the light, “how SpARKLY! It is!!”

After several seconds of admiring her shoe, she turned back to her friend, eyes wide and serious, “For the next ball, I can help you pick out your outfit, so you’ll look nice too.” But, Fern eyed the first year up and down once more, maybe Brynny needed more help than that. An intervention. “My friend Angelina, she works at Madame Malkin’s, she’ll know exactly what your signature color is! She helped me find mine!”

Fern matched the weird look Brynny gave her with one of her own. What did Brynny mean, ‘Ask me what?’? And why was she huffing at Fern? And –

”Of course I read it! Why wouldn’t I? If it’s happening at Hogwarts, I’m in the know! Obvy!!” Fern crossed her arms and stuck out her chin in exaggerated offense. She hadn’t seen any of the Aparecium articles since she returned Benzi Rider’s parchment, but Brynny didn’t need to know that. Fern was supposed to be the older, wiser friend.

”Kace isn’t –,” But Fern stopped mid-defense when she followed the Ravenclaw’s extended index finger, to see blue-eyed Kace dancing with Annaleecia Roman. The 12-year-old’s jaw dropped in shock, but her face quickly turned into a look of disgust, “He’s not supposed -,” When Fern had been trying to get him to break things off with Marigold, she hadn’t meant for him to date another Hufflepuff – she had meant Brynny! BRYNNY!! “But what about the – and he – I thought – THAT JERK! I HATE him!”

And she would have marched over to Kace and told him how much she hated him right then and there if it wasn’t for Brynny asking about the napkin and turning the conversation back to what was really important. Fern leaned in, because this news was important, “It’s for Dante Dark! I owled him about the ball, and he’s-,” she paused, glancing quickly at the students who had started performing and the crowd dancing in front of the stage, eyebrows pulling together, then shook her head, “He’s coming. He’s coming because I owled him weeks ago, and you know how we’re true loves.”

Brynn tilted her head and looked at Fern curiously upon hearing her squeal and her eyes soon fell on the other girl's sparkly shoes. "You're wearing high heels?" The first year looked on in awe for a moment before she glanced down at her own very plain shoes and frowned. She was dressing more for comfort these days. Eventually she shrugged and grinned back at Fern. "Those are so pretty and grown-up." If Brynn wasn't so tired, she might even be a little jealous at how stylish her friend was.

But that wasn't necessary as Fern soon offered her assistance for the next one. Maybe Brynn would even be interested enough by then to try harder. But that still remained to be seen. She looked down at herself as the Hufflepuff gave her some very appraising eyes. In her defense, she didn't even know there was a ball, though she wasn't sure it would have made much difference with her whole dressing for comfort trend as of late. But she turned back to Fern with an appreciative smile anyway. "Oh, okay... that sounds like fun."Because she knew somewhere in the back of her head that it did - she once enjoyed fashion and anticipating wearing makeup.

Brynn gave a sidelong glance to Fern and sorta shrugged as the girl got all offended at the implication. "I know, I know," the 11 year old said quickly. She knew normally Fern was up on all the latest haps, but then she should also know all about the "Puffanova" too and would not be trying to align her with that mess. She turned a little more fully as Fern's eyes locked onto the pair of Hufflepuffs, then gave her a pointed MMMhmm knowing look. "I'm over it," she shrugged as Fern expressed her outrage. Not that she was ever under it, but whatever. She could look cool.

Brown eyes glanced up to the stage as the band began to play then back to Fern as she leaned in closer. She wasn't sure if it was because it was getting LOUD in here and she needed to be heard or if she had some juicy secret... which Brynn was kind of hoping it was the latter. And it sort of was. Brynn's eyes slowly widened as she listened to her friend identify her date for this evening and her mouth DROPPED.

OH.

EM.

GEE.

Dante Dark was coming. Dante Dark was coming and he was Fern's date! "I.. he.. you.." Brynn cupped her hands over her nose and mouth and began taking very deep breaths as her mind tried to process this news. One of the Hexy Boyz was going to be sitting at the same table as her. And.. and.. maybe he could put a good word in for her with.. She took her hands from her face and gripped the bottom of her tshirt as she began twisting it nervously between her fingers. "But you should have told me.. and then.. well, he could have brought.." She bit her lip and glanced down at her clothes. It wasn't her fault she had bunions now and had to wear supportive shoes, OKAY?! And her beautiful red hair.. was just gone.. Dante would never go back to his bandmate, and obvious best friend, DC and tell him all about the cute redhead with the dazzling personality now. Wibble.

Merlin knew. I ain't no teenage boy expert.

Light bulb moment, Theo? Ella smiled a little and nodded her head. Yup, that was the connection. His enthusiasm caused her smile to widen considerably and she nodded, her eyes sparkling a bit as she got excited. "I think it will be. It took me a while to pick and I'm just hoping it's the right choice." But it had to be, yeah? She loved creatures and she liked school so Uni for Magizoology had to be it. It...yeah. It had to work. And yes, Theoman. Even when she didn't say it out loud, she was referring to him like that in her head. She giggled and waggled a finger at him. "Don't you dare try it." Seriously, don't. If you break the Head Girl you got stuck with her for the evening, y'know. And she'd be extra complainy just to get back at him.

The squeezing thing? It made Ella think of Alec and she glanced past Theo's arm, over towards the photo booth. She knew how he felt about this and she got it but she had promised and he knew how important Theo was to her. She wanted her friend back but she hated that it had caused a thing between her and Alec. It was just so...stupidly complicated. Growing up was lame. The eighteen year old gave a quick, gentle squeeze in return before stopping as well. Just to show she wasn't bothered. It was comforting, actually.

You owe me years of dances. Ouch. She knew he hadn't meant it at the dig but it felt like a punch to the stomach all the same. The blonde smiled a bit sadly up at him when he backed off a bit and nodded. "I know. At least this is a start?" He knew that, right? That she was going to be there from now on. She expected the same from him. Friends, she wanted them to keep being friends. None of this not talking nonsense. And instead of stepping completely away like she should have, she gave the younger boy a proper hug, a big one. When she finally did step away, she swatted a curl out of her face and smiled once more.

"I should get going but this was nice, yeah?" And she glanced towards the stage as the band got ready to take a break before her eyes settled back on Theo. "Let West know how great he was for me? I'm really glad they agreed to play."

And then her blue-grey eyes turned to look at Jeremiah. A very well-dressed Jeremiah, actually. "Looking darn good, Walker." He got a hug too.. and a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey there," she beamed at Delilah, purposefully remembering not to say her name if that was her greeting. For song reasons. But... what was that supposed to mean? Lottie just smirked a little and said, "Had to come for the band," wasn't it obvious? Wasn't that the reason why everyone was here?? ~~Yeah, we know, still.~~ And... she wasn't one for Valentine's day, anyway, sooooo....

She said the appropriate 'Thanks' and 'You, too' before it was time to listen to the band and for Delilah to dance with.... who was that? She didn't know his name, and she was having trouble trying to remember if Delilah had mentioned names when they talked about...

...Jeremiah, you're so quiet.

Text Cut: So cute, Jeremiah <3

Not a boy of many words? At least not today, it seemed.

If you think for a second that Lotus Acacia Wisteria, of all people, missed this little reaction to Delilah's words and overall presence then you, my friend, are clearly mistaken. She was excellent at noticing these things, she just kept it all to herself. Same as Lex pretended to be oblivious to certain things.

Why, of course, she wouldn't comment on it, because that would make things... rather embarrassing, perhaps? It was none of her business. But allllll that staaaaaaring, Jere... the Hogwartian poked ~~swatted at~~ his shoulder gently, "Where are you from, again?" Durmstrang?

And...can we say that West clearly knows how to address an audience? CAN WE? Because he DOES IT SO WELL, man, SO WELL! And Lottie was just beaming at Vesper and watching Ascanius from time to time, and they were surprisingly AWESOME! All the HOURS of practices clearly paid off. ~~Nigel got ignored, as far as Lottie could tell... there were only three members, not four.~~

We're not gonna lie, it was the awkwardest thing ever to be standing next to Jeremiah when the slow song was up, but since she was focusing on the band, then it stopped being awkward after a few seconds. It probably helped that she had stopped holding his arm. THAT helped a lot, because super!awkward stuff otherwise.

BUT IT WAS TIME FOR A BREAK NOW. And Lottie was oh-so-incredibly proud for those three. SUPER PROUD. Particularly Vesper, she did AMAZING. She'll wait for her here, yup.
